Chapter 233: Making a Decision
"If they retreat later, if they don't retreat, then the emperor will send a capable and experienced general to send my 200,000 troops to the grassland frontier, it is not too late, but if this vast army of 200,000 is sent to the frontier now, first of all, the grain and grass will be a big loss, and secondly, if the two countries are not aimed at our dynasty, these 200,000 troops may cause panic in the two countries, but cause their suspicion and joint attack, so it is not a good policy."
Ling Xingyue saw that the emperor was listening very seriously, and then asked herself:
"Wechen is willing to lead the frontier soldiers to fight on the battlefield and contribute to our court, even if the situation of the soldiers will be transmitted to Beijing, we must let the emperor know the situation of the frontier immediately, and Wechen will also hear the arrangements of the court at any time, and I hope the emperor will allow it."
The emperor didn't know why, he had a little weird feeling for a moment, it seemed that everything he thought and wanted to say was said word by word by Ling Xingyue in advance, although the emperor felt that this was very good, but for some reason, there was a trace of displeasure in the deepest part of his heart, but he didn't know where this displeasure came from, but since the goal had been achieved, the emperor no longer objected, but it seemed that it was unintentional, and suddenly mentioned Leng Qingqiu:
"Ling Aiqing, I heard that your side lady Leng Qingqiu also came to the capital with you, but because you were in a hurry, you left her at the inn and asked your housekeeper to send her back to Beijing, right?"
Ling Xingyue said in her heart: This kind of thing, the emperor knows so clearly, it seems that I still have the emperor's spies by my side, maybe not one or two, but this should be what every emperor will do, see if you are honest and obedient, and whether you are good at suppressing and controlling.
But seeing that the emperor only knows these peripheral things, then it means that the emperor's spies can only find out about these, and originally, the secret affairs of Ling Wang's Mansion, except for Steward Liu, Liu Qi and Ling Xingyue himself, no one else knows, so the emperor now brings up the matter of Leng Qingqiu, it seems that he wants Leng Qingqiu to see the emperor, or the queen mother, so that she can know some things about Ling Xingyue that the emperor does not know.
"Yes, Your Majesty, although she is traveling with a chariot and horse, but Weichen has already informed Steward Liu, so the road must not be too delayed...... Wechen's side lady will come to Beijing. ”
The emperor laughed, interrupted what Ling Xingyue was about to say, and smiled directly:
"Last year, you didn't want to marry a cold girl at the beginning, and now you have to take her back and forth to report back and forth in Beijing for a short period of time, it seems that your feelings are also increasing day by day, this grassland is really a blessed land, when she comes back, you let her also come to let the Queen Mother meet, speaking of which, the Queen Mother is still the big matchmaker of the two of you, but it is not a great benefactor who once you have a beloved, and you forget to dig a well!"
Ling Xingyue hurriedly said:
"Yes, as soon as Mrs. Fang arrives in the capital, I will accompany her into the palace to meet the Queen Mother."
The emperor smiled and waved his hand, and then smiled:
"That's not necessary, just let your delicate lady go to see the Queen Mother alone, after all, you are a foreign minister, you are a minister, you are a minister, but it is inconvenient for them to speak, and you have a lot of things to do these days, so you don't have to accompany you."
Ling Xingyue knew in her heart what the emperor and the queen mother thought, thinking that at that time, she would not marry Leng Qingqiu who had already woken up crying on her couch anyway, if it weren't for the queen mother and the emperor to apply for and make an order, how could Leng Qingqiu not become her Ling Xingyue's side lady now, and she had to go there with her, which also caused the biggest obstacle for him and Lan Keman to be together.
matters, Leng Qingqiu can marry into the palace and become the most noble female dependent in the palace, all of which are the credit of the queen mother and the emperor, so when Leng Qingqiu comes to see him, he will inevitably be grateful to the queen mother and the emperor, needless to mention.
Taking this opportunity to induce Leng Qingqiu to side with the emperor is really a good idea, and this matter is not very fair after all, so the weak Ling Xingyue entered the palace with Leng Qingqiu to meet the Queen Mother, even if the emperor thought of an idea to separate Ling Xingyue from the Queen Mother, after all, Leng Qingqiu is a woman, and it is not good to tell his secrets by his husband's side.
Ling Xingyue sneered in her heart, this emperor is really thoughtful, this thought is really everything.
He had always been a spirit cat, and he had received this great blessing, and he had directly cultivated to adulthood at the age of a hundred years, but Ling Xingyue felt impatient and irritable about the environment dynasty he was in.
If it weren't for the people of the Great Palace, who needed his care, if it weren't for Lan Keman, who needed him to protect and give her happiness, and the lives of many people like the Lan family and the Si family were almost pinched in his hands, Ling Xingyue took Lan Keman away from this court and went to a beautiful countryside, lived a sweet secluded life, and reborn a few boys and girls, it was really a beautiful thing in the world!
Of course, this money has to be saved up first, and it is best not to let the emperor know that he has quietly retired, and it is best to die in a war in the future, and then at that time, if Lan Keman's parents are already a hundred years old, then he can take Lan Keman and leave, and never step into this court dispute again.
But not now, if he picks his son now, not only will he be rejected by the imperial court, but he will even be found out by the evil people raised by the emperor, and at that time, the Ling Wangfu, the Lan family, the Si family, and the hundreds of henchmen under the old prince's heart, and even he Ling Xingyue himself, may die and no longer exist.
Ling Xingyue thought for a moment, then asked:
"Weichen quietly listens to the emperor's orders."
The emperor nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then took out another piece of paper, and when he looked at it, it seemed to be several names, written in thick ink, and he thought about it for a long time before showing it to Ling Xingyue.
Ling Xingyue took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and found that it was a few generals who were quite cherished by the old prince, but after the old prince passed away, he never got promoted, but those generals who were farther away were reused by the emperor, and they were all entrusted with important tasks, and they were able to be honored and received many grand favors.
Ling Xingyue pretended not to know, fortunately, he already clearly knew the names, official positions, etc., of these people in the Mizali left by the old prince in his study, and now with the support of Steward Liu, he was able to know the reason.
