"In-law and peace of mind, I will enter the palace to face the saint!"

In front of other nobles, Xu Shuo naturally couldn't refuse the request of Lai Guogong, the in-laws.

He quickly turned around and went to see Emperor Yongping.

"If my uncle wants to intercede for Lai Guogong, then don't say it!"

Seeing Xu Shuo appear, Emperor Yongping spoke very directly.

This time, whoever pleads for Lai Guogong, Emperor Yongping will not be able to open up.

The Northern Barbarian Army is about to attack, and at this time, what the important ministers of the court should do should be to humiliate the public and the emperor, however, Lai Guo's public statement is to settle accounts.

Accountability is the way it should be.

But the premise is that the problem of the Northern Barbarians must be solved first.

There are priorities, like Lai Guogong, he can't distinguish between priorities and priorities, why should he enjoy a high position?

Lai Guogong is the noble of the founding of the country.

But this is not what Lai Guogong can rely on to act recklessly.

Of course, Lai Guogong fell to such a fate purely because Emperor Yongping wanted to make an example of the monkey, so that these nobles in the army understood that everything they have now comes from the emperor.

In the Tang Dynasty, the first thing to ensure is the interests of the emperor.

If the northern barbarians go south, if they invade the territory of the Tang Dynasty and hurt the people of the Tang Dynasty, they are provoking the majesty of the Tang Emperor.

Therefore, the most important thing to do at the moment is to meet the enemy.

"The minister is not here for the Duke of Lai!"

Xu Shuo said respectfully, "The minister is here to ask for a holy thing!" ”

"What's the matter? As long as it's not for Lai Guogong to intercede, other things, my uncle can just say it! ”

"The son of the minister, Xiaoyilang Xu Huaiyi has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and the minister wants to recruit the courtiers to go to the battlefield and defend the border for the country!"

"Uncle is righteous, I'm righteous!"

When Emperor Yongping heard Xu Shuo's words, he immediately Longyan Dayue, "I will immediately send someone to Xiangyi Mansion to transfer Xiaoyilang to Huangfengkou of Longxi Mansion, well, I will make him a partial general of the town army, and lead 5,000 town troops from Xiangyi Mansion to Huangfengkou!" ”

"Thank you!"

Xu Shuo immediately saluted Emperor Yongping, and then retired.

And Lai Guogong, who was waiting for Xu Shuo to be rescued, was destined to be able to call the heavens and the earth in the prison of the Zongren Mansion.

……

Xu Shuo, who left the palace, returned to the Dingguo Mansion and did not stay long, and immediately took the generals and guards, and hurried out of Beijing and rushed to the direction of Longxi Mansion in the northwest with a posture of being anxious to make mistakes.

"Waste is waste!"

The eldest princess sneered after knowing what Xu Shuo had done.

Du Yun'er obediently accompanied the eldest princess and did not make any comments.

In this Dingguo Mansion, she is called the princess of the former dynasty, but in fact she is a dodder who can only rely on the eldest princess to live. At this point, Du Yun'er is clear in her heart.

"Sister Wan'er, do you know why this palace regards our grandfather as a dog, but he dares to be angry and dare not speak?"

"Sister, let's talk about it, how can my little sister know about this kind of thing?"

Du Wan'er is really curious.

Xu Shuo, after all, is also a prince, and he is already the top of the knighthood of the ministers.

As far as she knows, Xu Shuo was knighted as the Marquis of Dingbei for his military exploits, and such a person, born on the battlefield, must have a very bloody nature.

But he was so humiliated by the eldest princess that he actually endured it.

This is undoubtedly a very subversive thing for Du Yuner's cognition.

You must know that the husband also has times when he is angry, but Xu Shuo seems to have no temper.

No, he has a temper, but in the face of the eldest princess, as the eldest princess said, Xu Shuo is a dog in front of her.

"Because, although our grandfather joined the army and went through many battles, he didn't make any outstanding feats."

"Those things he did, if it weren't for the planning of the palace, let alone the feudal marquis, it would be impossible to even command an army."

"Ah......h

Hearing these words, Du Yun'er was really shocked.

Long ago, she knew that the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty had a great position in the court, but what she didn't expect was that the eldest princess could even manipulate the matter of military merits and knighthood.

"Sister, since Xu Shuo has no real ability, then he will go to the northwest this time to lead the overall situation, in case of defeat, won't he implicate you?"

"What does this have to do with Hongu?"

The eldest princess smiled, "The Holy Lord himself knows what kind of person this uncle of his is, if something goes wrong, what does it have to do with this palace?" ”

"I'm afraid, our saint also has his own careful thoughts!"

Knowing what kind of person Xu Shuo was, Emperor Yongping still used Xu Shuo, which had to make the eldest princess think deeply.

……

Lingshui Village, the old Xu family.

King Yan and Old Man Xu sat face to face, and their faces were not very good-looking.

It's just that the faces of these two people are not good-looking, but they are because of different things.

King Yan was because of the invasion of the northern barbarians to the south, and the old man Xu was because Emperor Yongping ordered him to be the general of the town army, and led the 5,000 town army of Xiangyi Mansion out of the town of Huangfengkou.

Even if Old Man Xu has never been to the Northland, he knows a lot about Huangfengkou.

Because, the yellow wind outlet is the place where the king of Yan rises.

It was at the mouth of the Yellow Wind that King Yan led the whirlwind to ride a battle to settle the world, and the northern barbarians did not dare to invade the south.

This time, the Northern Barbarian army went south, and Huang Fengkou was afraid that a vicious battle was indispensable.

With the 5,000 unbattled town soldiers of Xiangyi Mansion and the fierce Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry, did Emperor Yongping have water in his head?

If it weren't for the relationship between King Yan and Emperor Yongping, Old Man Xu would definitely be scolded.

"Cousin, I'll find a way to let the whirlwind ride to the Yellow Wind Mouth and help you!"

King Yan looked at Old Man Xu's face, and also knew that Old Man Xu was holding back his anger at this time.

"I really don't know why Brother Huang decided to do this!"

"I only know that it is Dingguo Gong who is talking about recruiting my cousin to join the army!"

"The decree has been given, or shall I go with you?"

King Yan has actually scolded Emperor Yongping in his heart now. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were an ancestor, King Yan really wanted to greet the eight generations of Emperor Yongping's ancestors.

"Li Zhen, is it in the hearts of your royal family, other people's lives are not worth much?"

"Huang Fengkou, the five thousand town army of Xiangyi Mansion, I only ask you, how many people can come back alive in this battle?"

"They are all raised by mothers and fathers, and they are all sons of men, fathers, and husbands."

"But now, because of the emperor's bullshit decree, they have to throw their lives under the butcher's knife of the Northern Barbarians!"

"This is the Holy One who blesses all nations?"

Because the Queen Mother sat back and watched his mother's death, Old Man Xu had a grudge against the royal family. Later, I guessed that her mother's affairs were related to the eldest princess and the Xu Mansion, and the resentment of Old Man Xu was a little deeper.

Now, something happened again, and Old Man Xu's resentment has reached the limit.

"Li Zhen, you listen to me, if this battle, the five thousand town troops of Xiangyi Mansion will fight without help, if I don't die, I will kill the Qiantian Temple and slaughter this bullshit saint!"

If you don't serve the people, what if you kill it?

"Xu Huaiyi!"

Hearing Old Man Xu's words, King Yan also stood up suddenly.
