The next day, Ji Qingchen entered the palace to face the saint and asked Emperor Yan for generals, which is not an exaggeration to say that he is asking for it here.

Because Ji Qingchen knew the current situation of the Long Xiang Army, Emperor Yan was also very clear in his heart, but Emperor Yan himself knew the combat effectiveness of the Long Xiang Army in his heart, and he also said that this army with only half of the combat strength was a hundred thousand troops to fool himself, which made Ji Qingchen a little dissatisfied. However, thinking that Emperor Yan had named him the deputy general of the Hussar General Long Xiang Army before, he had the right to ask General Long about armament and training, but when he didn't ask himself, he would no longer complain about Emperor Yan. So when he walked into the imperial study to meet Emperor Yan, he found that he was not the only one in the imperial study, but also the second prince Ji Ping and the eighth prince Ji Qian, and the two were kneeling on the ground trembling to listen to Emperor Yan's reprimand.

"Son-in-law, see father!" Ji Qingchen immediately stepped forward and knelt beside Ji Qian to salute.

"You came to see me, did you want to ask me for a few generals like them?" Emperor Yan asked Ji Qingchen when he split his head and covered his face.

"This-" Ji Qingchen knew that there was no room for quibbling in front of Emperor Yan, and the more you tried to quibble Emperor Yan, the more angry he would become, so he whispered, "Yes." ”

"What do you think you guys are doing? Do you still look like my son? Is it still like a descendant of the Ji family? Emperor Yan scolded loudly, "When I didn't give you power, your brothers fought endlessly for a school captain and a captain, and even asked brothers to kill each other. But now it's good! I have given you so much power, but you say that you don't have a commander in your hands, and you need to go to my Yulin Cavalry to select a few people. You guys are still whimsical! Someone is going to ride in my feather forest? ”

"Erchen doesn't dare!" The second prince Ji Wen, the eighth prince Ji Qian and Ji Qingchen immediately whispered.

However, the three people kneeling in the imperial study admired each other very much, after all, digging the corner of the wall and digging up Emperor Yan's feather forest ride, this is the first time in the world!

"Bring me the list you want, show it to me." Emperor Yan finished venting the anger in his heart and said coldly.

"Yes." Ji Qingchen immediately took out the list written last night from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Zhongxian on the side, who held the list in front of Emperor Yan with both hands. Emperor Yan picked up the list and glanced at it, the angry expression on his face soothed a lot, and he read softly, "Yulin Cavalry Captain Li Duo and Guo Lun, Yulin Cavalry Captain Baiyang and Yuwen Injury, these four people are accurate, there are no others, you can figure it out yourself!" ”

"Thank you, Father!" Ji Qingchen immediately thanked him.

He wrote ten people on the list last night, and felt that this time he went north to fight against the Beirong Iron Cavalry, and Emperor Yan knew the combat effectiveness of the Long Xiang Army, so he would definitely approve it. But as soon as he arrived at the imperial study, he found that the second prince Ji Ping and the eighth prince Ji Qian were both here to ask for someone, his heart was cold, thinking that Emperor Yan might not agree to his request, but he didn't expect to give him four people, how could he not be happy? Especially among these four people, Guo Lun, Bai Yang and Yuwen are all among the best generals in the Yulin Cavalry.

"You two-" Emperor Yan's gaze fell on Ji Ping and Ji Qian, and his tone was a little cold, "It is impossible for Su Jian and Wang Zhao to go to Yizhou and Xizhou to serve, I still have other uses, and the other candidates will be approved." ”

"Thank you, Father!" Ji Ping and Ji Qian were overjoyed.

Suddenly hearing what Emperor Yan said, this touched Ji Qingchen's heart a lot. He thinks that Ji Qian and Ji Ping are too strong! Digging the corners of the wall to this extent, dare to move the thoughts of Su Jian, the deputy general of the Yulin Cavalry, and Wang Zhao, the deputy commander of the Ouchi guard. No wonder Emperor Yan was angry. The nominal commander of the Yulin Cavalry is Li Muzhi, but in fact, all military affairs are handled by Su Jian. The commander of the Ouchi guard is the emperor's uncle Ji Xing, but he is only in name, and the real chief official is Wang Zhao. Ji Qian and Ji Qingchen hit the idea on the main general of Yulin Cavalry and Ouchi Guard, and it was strange that Emperor Yan was not angry.

However, although it was only given to four people, Ji Qingchen was in a good mood, leaving the imperial study, he was about to go to the Privy Council to handle the relevant formalities of these four people, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the Privy Council, he met a waiter who was about forty years old, the waiter had a thin face, but he was in good spirits, and when he saw him, he immediately stepped forward to salute, "The old slave Liu Jin has seen His Royal Highness the King of Northern Liao!" ”

"You're ——?" Suddenly, an attendant stepped forward to give him a gift, which made Ji Qingchen a little baffled.

After all, under normal circumstances, if there is no dispatch in the palace, the chamberlain is not allowed to associate with the princes and ministers outside the palace privately.

"The crown princess is invited, please come to the East Palace for a while!" Liu Jin said respectfully.

"The crown princess?" Ji Qingchen was taken aback, the crown princess in Liu Jin's mouth was naturally the wife of the late prince Ji Chengqian, the mother of Wang Ji Zhao of Huaide County, the daughter of the Wei family of Shangzhou, and the sister of Wei Ran.

"That's right! It's the crown princess. Liu Jin said again, he was afraid that Ji Qingchen would not hear clearly.

"Then Father-in-law Lao will lead the way in front!" Ji Qingchen said kindly, although he didn't know what the princess was looking for him, but the other party invited him to the East Palace to talk about it, and there must be no conspiracy at all, so he readily agreed.

The East Palace is on the east side of the Privy Council, and the two are not far apart, only half a pillar of incense. So Ji Qingchen didn't walk long after following Liu Jin. Liu Jin invited him to the Chongren Hall of the East Palace, asked the palace maid to serve tea, and said that the crown princess would arrive soon, so he withdrew from the Chongren Palace.

The scale of the East Palace of the Prince is not as large as the imperial city where Emperor Yan lived, but there are still three Taiji halls, and the East Palace also has three major halls, namely Chongren Palace, Chongwen Hall and Guangtian Palace. Ji Qingchen, who was quietly sitting in the Chongren Hall drinking tea, was carefully taking a large number of places where Prince Dayan was studying and studying, and he smelled a faint fragrance of orchids, and he knew that the princess must have arrived, and just as he was about to get up to greet him, he saw a palace beauty appear in the main hall. The other party is less than twenty-six or seventeen, with a beautiful appearance and outstanding temperament, wearing a lilac light sarla skirt, and only a wooden fork carved from rosewood is inserted in her high bun, which makes her feel dusty.

"Qingchen has seen the crown princess!" Ji Qingchen didn't dare to slack off, and immediately saluted. Even if the crown prince Ji Chengqian has died on the battlefield, no matter what, the other party is still his imperial sister-in-law, and he can't be rude.

"Your Highness doesn't need to be polite! Have a seat! The crown princess said softly, bowed slightly to Ji Qingchen, and sat down opposite Ji Qingchen.

After sitting down again, Ji Qingchen didn't have any extra nonsense, and asked openly, "I don't know what the crown princess ordered to invite Qingchen to the East Palace?" ”

"The concubine heard that His Royal Highness is going to Caozhou and is going north to fight Beirong?" The crown princess asked.

"Well, my father has given Qingchen the position of the chief manager of the Northern Liao Xing Camp, and let Qingchen be fully responsible for all the affairs of the fight against Beirong." Ji Qingchen replied.

"The Beirong cavalry is ferocious, Your Highness must pay attention to safety when you go." The crown princess said with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Qingchen knows!" Ji Qingchen replied lightly.

"Yesterday, Zhao'er heard that His Royal Highness was going north to Caozhou to fight Beirong, so he had to ask his concubine to intercede with His Highness, and let His Highness take him to the front line of Caozhou, saying that he wanted to avenge his father. Alas, this kid is still so arrogant, it's been ten years, and he still can't let go of his hatred for Beirong. The crown princess said in a calm tone, but her resentful sigh touched Ji Qingchen's heart.

"This-" Ji Qingchen didn't know what the princess of Lu Dao was thinking, so he said with a little hesitation, "Just thinking about what the princess said, the Beirong cavalry is fierce and ruthless, and this time it sent another 200,000 troops, and our Dayan now only has 100,000 defeated troops on the front line of Caozhou, that is, the 100,000 Longxiang army went north to Caozhou City, and I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the siege of the 200,000 army, so it is very inappropriate for the princess to let Ji Zhao go north to Caozhou at this time." ”

"The concubine also told him so, so today he was angry with the concubine and ignored the concubine and went out of the city to hunt." The crown princess said bluntly, "And the concubine invited His Royal Highness to the East Palace today, just because she has something to ask His Highness." ”

"Don't dare to be! Please speak up to the crown princess! Hearing that the crown princess had something to ask for herself, Ji Qingchen asked bluntly.

"In the battle of Yanmen Pass, Cheng Qian died under the knife of Beirong with the Yellow Banner Tuobani, which made Zhao'er angry. This time, His Royal Highness went north to Caozhou to fight with Beirong, and I hope that His Highness can see the brotherhood with Cheng Qian, and if he has the opportunity, he will slash Tuobani, so that Zhao'er's heart will be relieved, and he will not carry hatred on his body like he is now in the future. The crown princess leaned over and said, "If His Royal Highness can agree to the concubine, the concubine will be grateful!" ”

"Killing the enemy for the country is what Qingchen should do, and besides, avenging his brother, this is Qingchen's unshirkable responsibility, the crown princess can rest assured, this time in a battle with Beirong, Qingchen will go all out to kill Tuobani to avenge his brother!" Ji Qingchen agreed without thinking of it, because he also wanted to slash Tuobani, a thief, when Tuobani attacked him outside Ningzhou City, he almost lost his life, so Tuobani is also his Ji Qingchen's enemy.

Seeing that Ji Qingchen agreed so happily, the princess's mood seemed to be much better, and a faint smile appeared on her face, but she just smiled, this smile was like a plum blossom in winter, light and fragrant, which made Ji Qingchen look a little uneasy, but fortunately, Ji Qingchen was relatively determined, and immediately restrained the crankiness in her heart, so as not to show an indecent gaze.

"If the crown princess doesn't have anything to do, Qingchen will leave!" With this episode, Rao is Ji Qingchen didn't have the courage to wait any longer, so he immediately got up and said goodbye.

"Your Highness go slowly, the concubines still have something to send to Your Highness, so it should be regarded as a reward for Your Highness's revenge for Chengqian!" The crown princess stopped. He shouted to the palace maid outside the door, and the palace maid agreed. After a while, I saw four guards carrying a wooden box about two battles long and about eight inches wide into the Chongren Hall and placing it in front of Ji Qingchen.

"What is this?" Ji Qingchen was puzzled and moved her gaze to the crown princess.

"This is the horse lance Qinglong used by Cheng Qian, Cheng Qian fell into the hands of the Beirong people after he died in battle, this is three years ago my father spent 400,000 taels of silver to buy it from Tuobani, today the concubine will give it to His Royal Highness, I wish His Royal Highness a victory, and be able to return to the court as soon as possible!" The crown princess said.

Dayan's ancestral thing, Qinglong Horse Lance?

It's that Ji Qingchen is calm enough, but the shock in his heart is not small, and his face still shows excitement. Because this is the ancestral thing of the royal family of the Great Yan Ji clan, it is a green dragon horse lance comparable to the family heirloom horse lance of Baixiang City! He has been practicing the "Ten Styles of Breaking Blood" knife technique, and he usually did not make a horse lance, but during the period of leaving the country as a proton, he worked the horse lance no less than the wolf blade, so if he was given a horse lance, he would immediately use the lance method during the horse war was not much worse than Bai Xiangcheng, just because he was too busy after returning to King's Landing, and there was no battle to fight, so he did not put his mind on finding a horse lance for himself, but this time he went north to face the well-equipped Beirong iron cavalry, he had to take the lead, and he lacked a good horse lance, Now that the crown princess has given her the ancestral artifact Qinglong lance, how can he be calm?

Since he was short of a horse lance, and the other party happened to give him a horse lance, Ji Qingchen was not hypocritical, and bowed to the princess, "Thank you princess, this horse lance Qingchen will accept it!" ”

The crown princess was very satisfied with Ji Qingchen's unpretentiousness, and nodded slightly. And Ji Qingchen left the East Palace and had to go to the Privy Council, so he asked the crown princess to send the horse lance to his Northern Liao Palace, and the crown princess nodded and agreed. When Ji Qingchen left the East Palace, a slightly green voice suddenly came from the Chongren Palace, "Why did the mother concubine give the things of the father to the ninth uncle?" This was obtained by my grandfather for 400,000 taels of silver and a large number of precious jade vessels. ”

"Zhao'er, what do you think of your ninth uncle? What do you think of him? The crown princess asked her son.

"When Uncle Nine first returned to King's Landing Zhao'er to greet him at the Bianqiao Ferry, he felt that he was very unusual, so he has been close to him during this time, wanting to leave a good influence on him." Ji Zhao said carefully, "However, although he was valued by the emperor's grandfather, he was named the king of Northern Liao, the governor of Northern Liao, and the general manager of the Northern Liao camp, but in terms of the existing strength in his hands, he is not the opponent of Beirong's 200,000 iron cavalry at all, I am afraid that he will be more than lucky in the first battle of Caozhou!" ”

"So you're not optimistic about him?" The crown princess continued to ask, frowning slightly.

"It's not that we don't think about him, it's that we shouldn't be optimistic about him, and we shouldn't think about using his strength. Because he, like several other imperial uncles, his goal is still the seat of the East Palace. Ji Zhao analyzed, when he said this, the naivety on his face was very consistent with his words.

"Indeed—but there's no way for the mother to do this!" The crown princess said, "Now while he is still weak, we will have a good relationship with him, and in the future, we will be defeated, and there will be a way out." Alas, it's your fault that this kid is too impulsive, and he shouldn't have set up such a scheme to frame him some time ago. ”

"Please also ask the mother to atone for your sins! It's just that Erchen didn't expect things to develop like this, and he didn't expect him to be so valued by the emperor's grandfather! Ji Zhao said a little indignantly, "I hope he can be defeated this time!" ”

"Y-alas!" Hearing her son's rebellious words, the crown princess wanted to reprimand angrily, but finally held back, "Okay, you go down!" Remember these special times, and don't mess with them. ”

"Erchen understands!" Ji Zhao agreed and withdrew from the Chongren Palace.
