At the end of March, the weather is warmer, and there is already spring in Shangjing, but the atmosphere is gradually tense, and a large number of armored soldiers enter and leave Beijing every day, and the sound of horses' hooves makes people feel that the war is approaching. The people are still like this, not to mention the hundreds of officials of the imperial court, especially the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, which have almost broken the threshold, and the Qinzheng Palace, which is the center of Great Chu, has people coming and going from time to time, like a bazaar.

Sitting in the Qinzheng Palace, the Holy Lord Chu Haoran frowned, at this moment, not only the Holy Chu Haoran, but also Luo Shiyi and Luo Marshal also had helplessness on their solemn faces, seeing this, all the generals in the hall stopped arguing, but their eyes were staring straight at the two of them, and there was undisguised eagerness.

In the silence, a eunuch walked in and bowed: "Qiqi Sheng, King Wu asks to see!" ”

At this moment, the Holy Lord Chu Haoran's brows stretched slightly, and he opened his mouth and said, "Xuan!" ”

"Wow!" After bowing again, the little eunuch walked out quietly.

It didn't take long for Martial King Chu Haoyan to walk in slowly. Today, Chu Haoyan is not a common samurai costume, but a rare red python robe that symbolizes the identity of the prince, and with Chu Haoyan's solemn face, he has a majesty.

Behind King Wu, there was Chu Yuanjing, who was dressed in a black suit, with a burly body, eyes like electricity, and heavy steps, as powerful as a battlefield general.

Looking at Chu Haoyan's father and son, many people laughed, even Li Tiannian, who had a discordant relationship with King Wu's Mansion, had to admit that King Wu gave birth to a good son.

Walking to the center of the main hall, Chu Hao knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully: "Brother knock to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Looking at Chu Haoyan's father and son, Chu Haoran had a smile on his face, and said, "Flat, look at the seat!" ”

After bowing again, Chu Haoyan opened his mouth and said, "Brother thank Your Majesty!" After getting up, Chu Haoyan sat down on the Holy Lord Chu Haoran, although he did not speak, but his calm eyes swept over the hall from time to time, and Chu Yuanjing stood beside the crown prince Chu Yuanbo.

Or seeing the smile of the saint, the atmosphere of the Qinzheng Hall was slowed down, but everyone still stared straight at the saint.

Seeing everyone's expressions, especially those generals, Chu Yuanjing snorted lightly and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, are you still fighting?" ”

Glancing at Chu Yuanjing, Chu Yuanbo nodded but did not make a sound. Seeing this, Chu Yuanjing couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile: "I really want to see what this group of old men is like arguing, but it's a pity that it's too late." Big brother, tell me about it. ”

This time, Chu Yuanbo finally opened his mouth and said softly: "Don't make a sound, I didn't see that my father was annoying!" ”

Chu Haoran was indeed a little annoyed, not because of the war, but because of the generals in the hall. This time, there will be 200,000 troops out of Mobei, and Chu Haoran has neither a shortage of soldiers nor generals, but too many. Shenwu Lieutenant, Shenji Lieutenant, Shence Lieutenant, the three guards of the capital, the garrisons of various places, and the generals of the border passes have written to ask for the expedition, and some veterans who have been idle at home have also handed over the folds. The Shengshang side is better, Luo Dashuai, who was ordered to lead the army, was crowded through the gate.

Chu Yuanjing naturally knew this, and snorted lightly: "Didn't the army set off a long time ago? These people are just watching others kill the enemy in front and earn military merits, and their eyes are red! Speaking of this, Chu Yuanjing suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Big brother, what do you say about Xiaofei?" ”

Suddenly hearing Chu Yuanjing mention Chu Yuanfei, he was still above the Qinzheng Palace, Chu Yuanbo glared at him fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "You talk a lot!" After finishing speaking, Chu Yuanbo didn't look at him anymore and looked at the people in the hall.

At this moment, although Chu Yuanbo's eyes were calm, his mind kept turning. As the crown prince, Chu Yuanbo knew a lot of things, including Chu Haoyu leaving the capital to join the Yue cavalry, and even following the army to raid Mobei, and Chu Yuanbo also knew that Chu Haoyu had talked with his father for half a night before leaving Beijing. Although I don't know what the two talked about, with Chu Yuanbo's understanding of Chu Haoyu, there must be Chu Yuanfei, but after such a long time, his father has never said anything, so Chu Yuanbo didn't dare to ask.

Suddenly, Chu Yuanbo's mind changed sharply, and he said secretly: "Xiao Qi went to Mobei quietly, could it be that Xiao Fei is also gone?" ”

Although it was just an idea that popped up in an instant, the more Chu Yuanbo thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. "The fourth uncle committed the crime of conspiracy, his father did not put him to death, but only punished him for keeping filial piety for the emperor's grandfather, this is enough to show the grace of God, if you pardon Xiao Fei again......"

Thinking of this for a moment, Chu Yuanbo said again: "It is impossible for my father to pardon Xiao Fei on the surface, so I can only let Xiao Fei join the army first, as long as Xiao Fei has military merits, he can block everyone's mouths, not to mention, the matter has come to this point, who will anger his father again because of this?" ”

At this moment, Chu Yuanbo couldn't help but think of Du Yibao. After the defeat of the Zhiwang Chu Haoxu, in addition to the generals under his command, most of the soldiers were assigned to the frontier, and most of them were in the capital fort, so it was impossible to say that Xiao Fei had already arrived at the capital fort. Moreover, with the appearance of Xiaofei, it is estimated that they will be more grateful to Dade!

Although these are speculations, I am afraid that they are not far from ten, so my father never told himself...... Thinking of this, although the expression on Chu Yuanbo's face did not change, there was an indescribable sigh in his heart.

Chu Yuanjing didn't know what Chu Yuanbo was thinking, but he hadn't seen him speak for so long, but he was secretly anxious in his heart. The army has already been assembled and ready to go out, but Xiao Qi has not come out of the retreat, and Xiao Fei is trapped in the mansion again, and he is really anxious to die!

In a hurry, Chu Yuanjing leaned his head to Chu Yuanbo's side, and whispered, "Big brother, let's go find Xiao Qi in a while, right?" It's been in retreat for so long, and it's time to come out. ”

Glancing at Chu Yuanjing, Chu Yuanbo suddenly had an idea, and said in an inaudible voice: "Uncle Seventh has already left Beijing and gone to the border pass. ”

Hearing Chu Yuanbo's words, Chu Yuanjing's heart was shocked, and he blurted out: "What? ”

Chu Yuanjing's voice was very loud, resounding throughout the Qinzheng Palace, instantly attracting everyone's attention, including the Holy Lord Chu Haoran and the Martial King Chu Haoyan.

Seeing everyone's eyes, especially the saint and his father, Chu Yuanjing, who suddenly returned to his senses, was terrible in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only stand up and bow: "Uncle Sheng, Xiaojing is out of shape, please punish Uncle Sheng!" ”

Although Chu Haoran didn't know what was going on, he glanced at Chu Yuanbo meaningfully, and then said with a smile: "You keep shouting uncle, how do you want me to punish you?" In this way, Xiaobo will go on the expedition in a few days, so you can be a companion with him! ”

Suddenly, Chu Yuanjing was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Xiao Jing, thank you, uncle." Suddenly thinking of something while speaking, Chu Yuanjing immediately knelt down and bowed: "Long live the last general, long live the saint, long live, long live!" ”

Looking at Chu Yuanjing's heartfelt excitement and happiness, Chu Haoran couldn't help but be happy, and said with a smile: "Since Xiao Jing calls yourself the last general, the uncle will fulfill your wish, and he will be the general of Pingbei, from the third grade!" ”

At this moment, many people were taken aback, because this gift was a bit heavier. Chu Yuanjing seems to be very arrogant but not stupid, and he is quite clever, he instantly figured out the meaning of this name, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you can rest assured, there are Luo Dashuai, the prince's brother and many generals, why worry about the north!" ”

When Chu Yuanjing's words fell, Chu Haoran couldn't help laughing, but before he could speak, a eunuch came to tell Gao: "Qi Qi Sheng, the border is urgent!" ”

In an instant, the smile on Chu Haoran's face had disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "Hurry up!" ”

Soon, a sergeant with a weathered face walked into the Qinzheng Hall quickly, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from the general of the border pass!" ”

At this moment, without waiting for the Holy Lord's orders, a little eunuch took the letter handed by the sergeant and handed it to the dragon case for the Holy Lord to read, and the hall was silent.

After looking at it carefully, Chu Haoran showed a smile on his face, and opened his mouth to say, "Go down, reward!" ”

Hearing the saint say this, how could everyone not know that it was good news, and Wei Dian smiled even more: "Seeing that the saint is smiling, I think it is good news, I don't know if I can make the ministers also happy?" ”

Haha laughed, Chu Haoran nodded and said: "You should know that I ordered the Yue cavalry captain and the forbidden army to send five thousand elites each into Mobei a few years ago, and swept away many small tribes in Mobei. ”

After a pause at this, Chu Haoran continued: "Captain Yue first destroyed the Eagle Department of the Eight Tribes of Mobei, and then the Wolf Department, and also designed to extinguish the five thousand elites of the Fire Department, with less than a thousand casualties!" ”

When Chu Haoran's words fell, the Qinzheng Hall was silent for a moment, but it became excited in an instant. Most of the people in the hall are the generals who command the army, and they naturally know that the eight tribes of Mobei, especially the 10,000 elite soldiers of the Fire Department, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most elite one in Mobei, but it was half wiped out by the Yue cavalry captain in the first battle, how can it not be exciting.

He hugged his fists and saluted the saint, and the veteran of the sixtieth armor laughed and said: "The army has not gone out, and there is good news at the border pass, which is a good sign!" ”

This veteran is Yao Zhenhai, the chief general of the three major battalions in the capital, who once laid down this great Chu country with the first emperor Chu Tianfeng, and is a humble person, a well-known good man, and is also quite respected by the saint Chu Haoran.

When Yao Zhenhai's words fell, someone immediately chimed in: "What General Yao said is true, I believe that Your Majesty will definitely be able to win, pacify Mobei, and leave the name of eternity!" ”

The person who spoke was also a general, Du Xueshan, General Jin Wuwei of the forbidden army, and looked at His Majesty very eagerly, as if he was expecting to be able to conquer Mobei with the army.

When Du Xueshan's words fell, someone praised again: "Your Majesty is wise and unexpectedly sent troops to attack Mobei, at this time, it is impossible to say that Mobei has been in chaos, and I have to be suppressed by the army of Dachu, why worry about Mobei?" ”

Seeing that someone was still going to speak, the Holy Lord Chu Haoran waved his hand directly and said, "Okay, if you continue to boast, I can't bear it." Speaking of this, after a pause, Chu Haoran pondered for a moment and then said, "I am very pleased that you can be so loyal. General Luo, the military department will draw up another excerpt and select generals who are good at fighting and brave to accompany the army. In addition, Yuan Bo and the prince's right guard increased by 200 people, selected from the families and the children of the official eunuchs. However, in the elongated voice, Chu Haoran's eyes swept over the hall like electricity, and said in a deep voice: "But those who delay the military aircraft will not be slack!" ”

When the words of the Holy One fell, most of the people were overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Long live the Holy One, long live, long live, long live!" ”

In fact, it's no wonder they are happy, this expedition to Mobei, Da Chu has been preparing for three or four years, there are many soldiers and generals, and the chances of victory are very great, as long as they go out to fight, they must have military merits, so the generals are only asking to go on the expedition, and now the emperor is relieved, how can they not be happy? What's more, the prince's right guard rate increased by 200 people, selected from the family and the disciples of the official eunuchs, this is to give their juniors a chance to get close to the prince, if they get into the prince's eyes, it will be a great favor.

Waving his hand, Chu Haoran opened his mouth and said, "Okay, let's retreat!" ”

Soon, everyone had retreated, and only Chu Haoran's henchmen remained, Chu Haoyan, the king of martial arts, Chu Yuanbo, the prince Chu Yuanbo, Wei Dian, the Zhongshu squire, Chen Zhiyuan, the secretary of the military department, Luo Shiyi, the right attendant of the military department, Chen Zilong, and the imperial historian Sun Mingzhi.

At this moment, the Holy Lord Chu Haoran's face was silent, seeing this, everyone knew that it was probably not as simple as the Holy Lord said.
