As soon as the emperor left the court, the news that General Chang'an was about to lead his troops to fight Jing State spread far and wide.

In Fengyang Palace, when the queen heard the news, she stood up in shock, "What? The emperor sent General Chang'an to the expedition? ”

"Yes."

The maidservant nodded respectfully, "Now there is a lot of rumor in the palace, I heard that General Chang'an took the initiative to request the expedition." ”

"But how can the emperor agree?"

The queen was so anxious that she paced back and forth in the room, "There are still many young and promising generals in the Manchu Dynasty, and it is okay to send any of them." The Imperial ......"

Before he finished speaking, the eunuch's announcement sounded outside, "The emperor has arrived-"

As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's bright yellow clothes appeared at the door, and the emperor strode over the threshold and walked in, and sat down on the warm couch.

The empress saluted, got up, walked to the emperor and sat down, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, how can you agree with Lie Chang'an to lead troops to Jingguo?" ”

"I know your concerns."

The emperor has now calmed down after thinking about it, he took the hot tea handed over by the maidservant, took a sip lightly, and said indifferently, "Lie Chang'an is the best choice for this expedition, and I have already agreed to his request." ”

"But the emperor, he is the husband of his hometown, the sword on this battlefield has no eyes, if he ......"

The queen couldn't bear to continue.

"In front of his family and country, he is first of all a general who gallops on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and then he is the husband of Princess Danqing of the Li Dynasty. This is his unshirkable responsibility, and it is his unshirkable mission. ”

Of course, the queen knows this, but this time Jing Guo is not good, the momentum is violent, Lie Chang'an is their number one enemy, they must hate it to the bone, and try their best to cut off Lie Chang'an's head so that he can go back to the lord of Jing State, the queen is really afraid that Lie Chang'an has a case, so he was widowed at a young age.

"Okay, I'm aware of your worries, but you have to trust Lie Chang'an. When he was an unknown soldier five years ago, I was also ordered to promote him to major general and let him go with the army on the battlefield, but as a result, he was promoted from major general to main general after three years of hard work in the military camp, and he also killed the Khitan without leaving a piece of armor and returned triumphantly. Now, although Jing Guo is not kind to him, but in the end he has a wealth of experience, and five years ago against the Khitan strength disparity, he won both, this time the same 300,000 troops to fight, and I also allowed him to personally go to the battlefield to order troops, I believe that this time he will be able to return triumphantly with victory and honor again. ”

When the emperor said this, his face became a little serious, and he said thoughtfully, "Actually, the reason why I agreed to his request so simply is that I have other plans. ”

"What are the emperor's plans?"

"If he can subdue Jing this time and return triumphantly again, he will definitely have more prestige in the court, and I have decided to take this opportunity to put the talisman of commanding the three armies into his hands."

The queen was shocked, the military power to command the three armies had always been handed over to Dingguo Gong before, and after determining that the marriage between the hometown and Zhou Siyuan was impossible, the emperor slowly took back the military power in the hands of Dingguo Gong.

Now that the emperor has moved the mind of handing over the talisman to Lie Chang'an, it seems that he really trusts and relies on Lie Chang'an very much.

The emperor sighed and said, "If he is strong, he will be able to protect his hometown more comprehensively in the future, and besides, his loyalty to the Li Dynasty and his feelings for his hometown, I will not be mistaken, he is definitely a loyal and trustworthy person." Even so, if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, he will inevitably be more able to take on heavy responsibilities and become the prince's right-hand man. I was relieved. ”

The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.

Therefore, the queen naturally would not express any opinion on the emperor's decision, not to mention that the emperor had sat on this dragon chair for more than ten years, so she was naturally far-sighted and did not need to worry about anything.

The queen was just worried, "But although the friendship between the prince and Lie Chang'an is deeper because of the relationship in their hometown, it was also because of Yu Yang some time ago...... The concubines are afraid that the prince will be estranged from Lie Chang'an in the future......"

"You're overthinking."

The emperor disagreed with this, and said frankly, "The crown prince and Lie Chang'an are both sensible people, and they will definitely not be confused about national affairs and children's affections." You don't have to worry about that. ”

When the queen heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
