Chapter 126
"It's not biological," Yu said with a smile, "When Yao Guifei adopted the fourth princess to herself, didn't she just do it for the emperor to see, saying that she didn't know that she wanted to be a queen, if the queen gave birth to a prince back then, I'm afraid she wouldn't live today." But who would have thought that the princess she has raised for more than ten years, once something happens, she will turn her face with her, isn't it a bamboo basket to draw water. ”
The Yu family doesn't seem to be very friendly to the first queen either. It is said that the former queen looks very similar to the former princess Bai, if it weren't for this, the emperor would not have married the former queen as a substitute. probably hates the house and Wu, and the Yu family doesn't like the first queen, and the words are gloating.
"It's a pity." Xie Ruqing sighed, although she didn't like the fourth princess, but a girl doing this would harm herself, and she might not be able to wash away this stigma in her life.
"It's not," Yu said, "just ask for a kiss in public, a girl ran out of the palace and didn't find it all night, this reputation is ruined, she is really, she is ruined, and even the royal reputation is ruined, so people don't know what to say." ”
"Where can she run away with a girl, but she didn't find it overnight?" Xie Ruqing felt that this matter was a bit, there were so many guards in the palace, the emperor also had secret guards, and the fourth princess was not a mouse, she ran away after drilling a hole, how could she not find it overnight?
"Then who knows, these years are in chaos, I heard that someone in the north has infiltrated the capital, if I know that the princess has escaped, maybe I will be arrested and threatened the emperor."
This is possible, Xie Ruqing frowned, if it develops to this point, it will not be a trivial matter.
The emperor was also anxious and ordered the whole city to be strictly searched, but he didn't dare to blatantly say that he had lost the princess, he could only say that there was a palace maid in the palace who had committed an accident and escaped, so he was urgently pursued, which inevitably made people panic.
But after searching like this, there was still no whereabouts of the fourth princess, and this person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. The more time passed, the more panicked everyone became, in the emperor's heart, even if the body of the fourth princess was found in the next moment, it was better than hearing that she had been captured, or that she had been ruined by some bad person.
This morning, the emperor had no intention of political affairs, and wanted to stop for a day, but he had to go to the court because of the bad news from the north again.
Lord Qi of the military department died in battle.
This is almost expected, Lord Qi is a mustard Wenchen, it is a miracle that he can persist until now, and against a group of barbarians who grew up on war horses, he has to be a brave and good general.
Looking at the court, probably only the Yu family has such ability.
Fanbang has captured the important city of northern Xinjiang, once the city is lost, it is basically equivalent to the inability to return to the sky, the northern army retreated to a small city along the northern Xinjiang, as long as Fanbang takes this step further, the entire northern Xinjiang is in the pocket of Fanbang.
The first line of defense was breached, and it was only a matter of time before the capital was attacked, because the strongest line of defense was the northern frontier, and the imperial court almost did its best to station the most elite troops in the northern frontier, but it was easily captured.
Although the outside of the capital is also guarded by elite soldiers, but the lips and teeth are cold, the morale is greatly damaged, and there are a group of nobles in the capital who are afraid of death, if they really enter the capital, they are afraid that they will only add to the chaos.
Those who were busy with the political party dispute before were also panicked at this time, no matter how important the party struggle was, it was not as important as a small life, so they recommended General Yu to take command of the expedition.
"Your Majesty, there is a crisis on the front line, and only General Yu can handle this heavy responsibility, and the minister thinks that General Yu should be sent as soon as possible!"
"The minister seconded the proposal, it should be as soon as possible, Your Majesty!"
The old god of Qi Yanzhi was sitting on the ground under His Royal Highness, listening to the quarrels of these waste ministers and being drowsy, he knew that this was the case, and he would sleep at home.
The emperor also didn't say a word, he actually had a plan in his heart, but he had never made up his mind, today he saw that these courtiers changed their faces faster than turning a book, and yesterday they swore not to let General Yu go to the war, and today he abandoned his principles in order to save his life, but let the emperor make up his mind to resolutely disobey the heart of this group of waste.
"Father, the son is willing to lead the troops to the battle!" Yu Ning suddenly stood up and said.
He seemed to see the emperor's hesitation, so he took the opportunity to play again, he felt that the emperor should not want to send General Yu to go, since General Yu did not go, everyone in the court would be about the same, then he should also have a chance.
The ministers were surprised, what kind of joke is the Nine Emperor Princes playing, isn't it a delay for him to go to Northern Xinjiang?
Who knew that the emperor actually agreed.
"I have decided to send the Nine Emperor Prince Yu Ning to lead the troops to the northern Xinjiang to support, and send Qi Yanzhi as the supervisor of the army, which can replace me with full power."
As soon as the emperor's words came out, the pot suddenly exploded.
"Your Majesty, how can you be such a child's play!"
"The emperor can't, please take back your order, the crisis in northern Xinjiang, it's not enough to send a general, how can you send two people who have never fought a war?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Marquis of Qingyang's legs and feet are inconvenient, what can he do when he goes to Northern Xinjiang, and how can he replace the emperor's choice?"
Everyone thinks that the emperor is crazy, or he was hooked away by the Marquis of Qingyang, but if the Marquis of Qingyang is a woman, the basin that confuses the king and brings disaster to the country and the people will be deducted on his head.
Besides, who can make a choice instead of the emperor, is this to be a side of power, in case Qingyang Hou is a mediocre person, wouldn't the country be finished?
"Your Majesty, the ministers protest!"
"The minister also protests!"
A group of courtiers were fighting cocks all day long, and they had never been so united, and they even knelt together in the main hall to protest and ask for their lives.
The emperor sneered angrily, "You protesters, whoever has the ability to go to the northern frontier will stand up for me, as long as you can prove that you are stronger than Yuning Qi Yanzhi, I will take back my life." ”
The ministers were choked half to death, if they had to have this ability, they would have gone a long time ago, and they could still quarrel until now?
"The emperor thinks twice!"
"The emperor thinks twice!"
When they can't hold it back, they will only collectively ask for help to force the emperor to agree, and as soon as the emperor waves his hand and retreats from the court, they will collectively kneel and can't get up, when will they wait for the emperor to agree and then get up.
The emperor was too lazy to deal with them now, and went to the study with Qi Yanzhi Yuning to discuss the expedition.
"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you will go." The emperor said, "Everything is simple when you go on the expedition, and if you have any requirements, just mention it to me." ”
After the emperor made the decision, his heart was extremely heavy, as if these two people would never return.
"Your Majesty, it's not like we're not coming back, why bother asking us to explain the aftermath early." Qi Yan's way.
Yu Ning glanced at him and almost laughed, he originally went with the heart of seeing death as home, in fact, he didn't know if he could come back, but seeing Qi Yanzhi so relaxed, he was also relaxed.
"Yes, Father, if we don't come back, what are you going to do now to make up for us."
The emperor laughed angrily, "You two, ......"
He smiled and sighed, how can he not be worried, he is helpless, General Yu can't leave the capital, he is everyone's reassurance, whether he is a princeling or not, whether the emperor trusts him or not, he is also a Dinghai Shenshen needle who must stay in the capital.
So the only people who could go were Yu Ning and Qi Yanzhi, but he was still conflicted in his heart until this time, and even felt sorry for them.
"That's it, I don't ask you anything, as long as you can come back safely, Yan Zhi, don't forget your daughter-in-law, for her to come back safely, Yu Ning, you don't want to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, otherwise I won't bother you if you die."
