The emperor's decision to drive the expedition in person was strongly opposed by Li Tingzhi and others, but everyone finally gave in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone knows what the upcoming battle means, this is the battle that will determine the future of the Ming Dynasty, such a life-and-death battle, the emperor's personal expedition is not an excessive decision.

The Ming army assembled in Shandong has made all preparations, and Zhang Jue, Chang Mingquan, Zhang Shijie and others who rushed to Shandong in advance are even more excited and full of fighting spirit.

More Ming sergeants were assembled outside the city of Kaifeng Prefecture.

On the fifth day of the first month of June, Wu Shaogang personally led a large army, which was about to set off from Kaifeng Fucheng and rush to Yizhou, which was under the jurisdiction of Shandong.

Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui, Yuan Shichun, Ma Long and others followed, and Wu Shaogang was accompanied by Zhang Wenqian, Shi Tianze and others.

Wu Shaogang decided to take Lu Wenhuan to fight in Shandong, a decision that surprised many people.

Li Tingzhi is still in charge of many matters in the DPRK and China, with the assistance of everyone.

An army of 300,000 will gather in Yizhou and Haizhou to fight against the Mongol army.

It's June.

The atmosphere in Kaifeng Mansion suddenly became a little tense.

The news of the upcoming battle between the Ming army and the Mongolian army in Shandong cannot be hidden, and many people in the capital know about it, especially those businessmen, including those who came to Kaifeng Fucheng from Dadu to do business.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the emperor has long been completely mythologized, as long as it is a battle commanded by the emperor, it is invincible, and it will be completely victorious, many officials also worship the emperor, and follow the emperor for so many years, every battle is victorious, and there has never been a defeat.

Li Tingzhi and others are in a somewhat complicated mood, they know almost all the deployments, and they also know that the emperor has worked hard to defeat the Mongolian army, and every victory in the battle is full of the emperor's hardships, and this situation will continue for a while, after all, the generals around the emperor, such as Cai Siwei, Zhang Binghui and others, the overall strategic thinking is still not comprehensive, they have always followed the emperor to fight, and major strategic decisions are directly made by the emperor.

This is a matter of no way, the Great Song Dynasty court emphasized literature over military force, blindly suppressed military generals, resulting in military generals can only fight desperately on the battlefield, for the overall strategic layout, there is not much thinking, and those so-called civil and military literati high-ranking officials, but do not particularly understand the minds of low-level sergeants, and make many strategic decisions, which are unfavorable for ordinary sergeants.

This time, Wu Shaogang decided to take Lu Wenhuan to Shandong to fight, because he had this consideration, to say that Lu Wenhuan is a person who can be literate and martial, and his ability to command operations even surpasses that of Lu Wende.

When Wu Shao first came to the harem, Queen Li Hanwei's eyes were a little red.

Although he said that he was the emperor, Wu Shaogang did not have seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards, and there were still those women around him, the number of palace maids in the palace was very small, and there were even fewer eunuchs, Wu Shaogang was waiting for most of the guards in the palace, Li Tingzhi thought that there were too few people in the palace and lost face, but unfortunately Wu Shaogang thought that this was not a matter of losing face, there were not many people in the palace, so he could minimize expenses, and the money and food saved could be used for local people's livelihood matters, and it could be used for war. Besides, Wu Shaogang also thinks in his heart that there are too many concubines in the palace, which is by no means a good thing, and the mutual calculation between women is the most troublesome.

"Queen, did you think that I was going out to fight?"

Li Hanwei nodded and did not deny it.

After her husband became the emperor, the harem did not increase the number of concubines, so that the queen was happy in her heart, but also took on huge pressure, even her father Li Tingzhi would find an opportunity to talk about the fact that there were too few concubines in the harem, after all, the harem was under the direct jurisdiction of the queen, and the emperor would not worry about so many matters.

"The emperor's expedition is also for the court, the slave family does not dare to stop it, but I just hope that the emperor will take care of the dragon body, the slave family cannot do without the emperor, many sisters cannot do without the emperor, and the prince cannot do without the emperor...

Wu Shaogang looked at Li Hanwei and sighed slightly.

Among many women, the biggest change is Li Hanwei, I am afraid that a few years ago, Li Hanwei would never have thought of becoming the queen's mother, and she didn't know what etiquette in the palace, the queen's mother was the world, and she naturally needed to pay attention to her own image, so after becoming the queen's mother, Li Hanwei became dignified, and many of her personalities were completely converged.

Wu Shaogang thinks that there is no need to do this, but unfortunately Li Hanwei does not think so.

"Queen, I have been conquering for so many years, and there have been no problems, and there will be no problems this time, but you manage the affairs of the harem, worry too much, have too many scruples, I can't stand it anymore, in fact, there is nothing, think about what we thought of when we first got married, and there were not so many scruples at that time, now I just think too much, the kindness of my father-in-law, I understand, but many things, do not have to be completely rigid in etiquette."

"The emperor must not say this, if the slave family does something bad, it will definitely cause trouble to the emperor. . . ."

Wu Shaogang waved his hand and looked at Li Hanwei as he spoke.

"Queen, what do you say is the purpose of me to fight the world, I think about it, it is two purposes, the first purpose is of course to think about the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, I am strong in the Ming Dynasty, the people are rich, how dare people covet it, the second purpose is to let the family live a good life, if I lay down this country, I will suffer constraints everywhere, why do you say I work so hard."

"Sometimes, you need to have such an idea, otherwise blindly take too much etiquette to imprison yourself, it is counterproductive, I asked the prince to go to the south to inspect, it is to think of these matters, when I made this decision, didn't some people say that the prince is a daughter, can't easily get into danger, look at now, who else will say, the prince went to the south, saw a lot of things, one day when he manages the world, how can outsiders fool casually."

"I don't actually want to be an emperor, it's cold in the high places, and now I can't say a lot of things outside, I just want to talk to you, I don't want you to be like the lord of the court, and persuade me to pay attention to the matters, in fact, I know those rules, and I will pay attention to them, but I returned to the harem, just to want to take a good rest."

"The queen mother is the world, it is facing the outside, and it doesn't have to be like this in front of me."

Li Hanwei Bingxue was smart and quickly understood what Wu Shaogang meant.

In fact, Li Hanwei doesn't want to be like this, including in front of Wu Shaogang, she has to smile without showing her teeth, even if she is very happy, she can't laugh, she can't be very sad, she can't show it in front of Wu Shaogang, etc., these rules seem to be very good, and they can be explained very well, but between husband and wife, if they really respect each other, then what kind of husband and wife are they.

"Your Majesty, the slave family understands."

"It's good to understand, I don't want to see you smile the same every day, I speak in front of me, I am cautious, for fear of saying something wrong, if you are like this, I should also pay attention to what I say, for fear of being admonished by you, what is the meaning of the family really coming to that point."

Li Hanwei smiled, smiled very knowingly, from the words just now, she felt that Wu Shaogang had not changed, even if he became an emperor, his temperament was still the same as before.

Akecha's expression was not very good, so that when Wu Shao first entered the house, Akecha didn't react at the first time.

After finally seeing Wu Shaogang, Akecha hurriedly stood up and saluted, with a slightly panicked look on his face.

The Ming army and the Mongolian army are about to start a fight, this time Wu Shaogang will personally lead the troops to fight, no matter what, Akecha is the former Mongolian princess, the Mongolian grassland is her maiden home, the husband's family and the mother's family are fighting fiercely, it is uncomfortable to put on anyone's body, fortunately, although Akecha is a Mongolian princess, but she still knows some about the war, she knows that if the Ming army can not mobilize troops to take the initiative to attack, the Mongolian army will also kill.

"Akcha, write a letter to your uncle, greetings."

"Your Majesty, the slave family doesn't dare, if something is revealed in the letter...

"Why are you still worried that Yuan Shichun will check you?"

"The slave family is not worried about this, the slave family is afraid of inner turmoil, and the husband is the slave family's heaven."

Wu Shaogang walked to Akecha's side, stretched out his hand, and gently hugged Akecha in his arms.

Akecha finally couldn't help it, threw himself on Wu Shaogang's chest, and sobbed in a low voice.

Wu Shaogang didn't speak, he knew the contradiction in Akecha's heart.

Wu Ruilin, Wu Ruibo and others concentrated on the main hall.

Wu Shaogang looked at everyone and spoke with a serious face.

"You can't relax your studies, I will check after I come back, I allow you to go to the city for entertainment and play, I don't want to imprison you in this palace, but you all have to pay attention, you must not bully the weak outside, I know you will not do this, but you must also be wary of the people around you, although you are young, but you are all my children, you need to pay attention to the places that should be paid attention to, if you do something wrong, then some powerful children will also follow you to learn, and I will not have the face to punish them at that time." , The prince went to the south to inspect, Wu Ruilin, you have to remember, take your younger brothers and sisters, understand. ”

Looking at Wu Ruilin and the others nodding respectfully, Wu Shaogang was also a little sad, between father and son, father and daughter, because of the identity of the royal layer, there were too many rules, and many rules Wu Shaogang could not change, he could only follow them, which made the family relationship between the family members gradually fade in front of these rules.
