When Feng Yongting learned of this, he was very angry, and immediately went to the cabinet to find Zhang Gui and explain the matter.

Zhang Gui frowned and said, "It's too late to know now." Your Majesty's golden words, how can you change them? At present, the only way to persuade His Majesty is to issue an edict as soon as possible, ordering the British Duke to stick to it and not to go to war. ”

In this way, even if Zhang Chi and Zhang Lan took the 1,000 Royal Forest Army to Jiayu Pass, it would be useless.

After thinking about it, Zhang Gui said again: "I will enter the palace with you and go to see the Queen Mother." ”

The matter of Zhang Chi and Zhang Lanxi going to Jiayuguan was the case of Empress Dowager Li coming forward to say that he was in love, so he naturally did not refuse. Besides, he also felt in his heart that the two hairy boys couldn't make any waves.

Who knew that the emperor coldly gave him such a hand, and a thousand imperial forest soldiers said that they would send it, which caught him off guard.

This is a red flag.

"Yes." Feng Yongting hurriedly responded.

At present, we must inform the Empress Dowager Li as soon as possible, so that the emperor will not go to the Empress Dowager Li to talk about it again. The woman's ears are soft, so don't do any more bad things.

Zhang Gui immediately dressed up and went to the palace with Feng Yongting.

Approaching the gate of the palace, Zhang Gui said: "Do it separately." ”

Feng Yongting nodded in response.

The two went their separate ways.

Zhang Gui went all the way to the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor set up a feast in the imperial study.

Empress Dowager Li was crooked on the couch in the side hall, ordering the palace people to read the script for recreation, dazed, half-asleep and half-awake.

"Empress Dowager Qi, Lord Zhang is asking to see you outside the palace." The palace people preached respectfully.

Empress Dowager Li suddenly came to her senses, tidied up her clothes, sat upright on the couch, and ordered: "Xuan." ”

Zhang Gui entered the hall and saluted: "The minister greets the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Li hurriedly raised her hand and said, "Yuanfu doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly." ”

He also ordered the palace people: "Give Yuanfu a seat." ”

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Zhang Gui bowed and thanked him and sat down.

"I don't know what happened when Yuanfu arrived today?" Empress Dowager Li asked with a smile.

Zhang Gui replied: "It's still a matter of whether to use troops or stick to Gao Changguo." The matter was not settled for a day, and the court was noisy and the people's hearts fluctuated, fearing that it would be unfavorable to political affairs. ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled: "Yuanfu doesn't have to worry. His Majesty has stopped raising the issue of soldiers in the past two days, and there is Yuan Fu in the court, and it won't be long before there is a fuss. ”

Zhang Guiying said: "I hope so." ”

He asked again: "The second son of the British prince, I don't know when you plan to leave for Jiayuguan?" ”

Empress Dowager Li said: "Your Majesty summoned them in the imperial study room this morning. The mourning family saw that the two of them were worried, and they were afraid that they would leave in the near future. ”

While he was talking, suddenly a chamberlain walked in in a panic and knelt on the ground to report: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has allocated a thousand Imperial Forest Army to escort the second son of the British Duke to Jiayuguan!" ”

"What?!" Empress Dowager Li was so shocked that she immediately stood up.

Zhang Gui also pretended to be surprised, frowned and stood up.

In his heart, he secretly said that Feng Yongting had the right time at this time.

The chamberlain hurriedly replied: "It was the little Feng father-in-law next to Your Majesty, who took the opportunity to change tea and ordered the slave maid to come over immediately to tell the Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Li's face became gloomy and asked, "Where is Your Majesty?" ”

"I'm listening to a lecture in the imperial study." The little chamberlain hurriedly replied.

Empress Dowager Li had a calm face, and even wanted to go to the imperial study to question the emperor in person.

Zhang Gui stopped her and persuaded: "After Your Majesty cherishes the heroes, it is reasonable to send troops to escort them. The Queen Mother doesn't need to be angry. ”

As he spoke, he gave a look to Empress Dowager Li.

Empress Dowager Li understood, suppressed her anger, and sent away the palace people serving in the palace.

Seeing that everyone was dispersed, Zhang Gui frowned and said, "Your Majesty, how can you take back what you say?" Besides, for most of the day, the 1,000 Royal Forest Army has probably already been deployed. The Queen Mother is gone, except for hurting the harmony of the mother and son, it will not help.

"Please also ask the Queen Mother to think twice."

Empress Dowager Li understood that what Zhang Gui said was right, and because of this, she became more and more angry.

The front foot coaxed her to allow Zhang Chi and Zhang Lanxi to go to Jiayuguan, and swore that she would not send them a single soldier, and the back foot sent a thousand imperial forest troops to "escort", and even trapped the people in the imperial study on the grounds of setting up a scripture feast, so as not to reveal the news.

The emperor's hand "Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang" is quite slippery!

I don't know, I'm afraid I will be able to deceive them like this because they are not mother and son, but political enemies!

"Then according to Yuanfu's intentions, what should this matter do?" Empress Dowager Li suppressed her anger and asked.

"The minister thinks that until now, only by drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle can we cut off the chaos." Jang Gyu replied calmly.

"Oh? What is the bottom of the kettle method? Empress Dowager Li hurriedly asked.

"Please give an edict to your majesty, ordering the British duke to only hold on and not attack. In this way, even if the 1,000 Imperial Forest Army arrived at Jiayuguan with the two sons of the Zhang family, there was nothing they could do. Zhang Gui replied.

"Yuansuke's plan is very good!" Empress Dowager Li was overjoyed when she heard this.

"In addition, the Empress Dowager must not reveal to Your Majesty that you already know, otherwise I am afraid that Feng Lin and the others will not be protected." Zhang Gui admonished.

"Mourning is saved." Empress Dowager Li nodded in response.

If Feng Lin and the others are not guaranteed, then in the future, if the emperor makes his own decisions and acts arbitrarily, no one will be able to deliver the news in time.

……

Before dinner, Qi Yu left the imperial study and came to greet Empress Dowager Li.

After greetings, Empress Dowager Li was about to test the matter of the 1,000 Royal Forest Army, but who knew that she hadn't opened her mouth yet, but Qi Yu took the initiative to explain as usual.

The child was worried about the misfortune of the British princess on the road, and he was even more afraid that the British would be injured in the battle, but the court did not send a person to condole, which chilled the hearts of the heroes, so he allocated a thousand imperial forest troops to escort the two of them west to Jiayuguan.

"Does the mother think there is something wrong with the child's move?"

Qi Yu looked trusting and sincerely asked for advice.

Empress Dowager Li's stomach was full of words, but they were all blocked in her throat.

After a while, Empress Dowager Li smiled and said, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted, so naturally there is nothing wrong with it." It's just that a thousand Royal Forest Army is a little more? ”

"Only in this way can we show that the court cares about the heroes in the future!" Qi Yu said with a smile.

After a pause, he said with a straight face: "Besides, the British Duke was injured and Gao Changguo was about to move, in such a situation, if the imperial court did not say anything again, it would only chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies." If the border soldiers are cold, how can the child live on the throne in peace? ”

Empress Dowager Li's face was solemn, and she felt reasonable.

Seeing this, Qi Yu knew that Empress Dowager Li had passed this pass, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then after the thousand Royal Forest Army escorted the British second son to Jiayuguan, what arrangements did Your Majesty make?" Keeping in mind Zhang Gui's advice, Empress Dowager Li asked.

Qi Yu said with a smile: "Naturally, you have to stay for a few days first, otherwise wouldn't it seem perfunctory and counterproductive to the imperial court?" ”

Empress Dowager Li nodded in approval, and then asked, "What about after that?" The Imperial Forest Army is the guard of the Son of Heaven, and it cannot always stay at the border. ”

"The queen mother's teachings are yes." Qi Yu replied respectfully, "Therefore, the retainers gave them a secret order, and when the time is ripe, they will return to Beijing immediately, without delay, otherwise they will be punished by military law." ”

As for when the time is ripe and the battlefield is changing rapidly, who can say for sure?

Empress Dowager Li was completely relieved when she heard this.

It seems that she and Zhang Shoufu are too worried, and the emperor did not transfer the 1,000 Royal Forest Army to use troops against Gao Changguo.

Seeing that Qi Yu was respectful and filial as always, Empress Dowager Li couldn't force him to immediately issue an edict to the British Duke to stick to it.

Just as the palace people passed the meal, the Empress Dowager Li stopped talking.

Mother and son sat opposite each other, concentrating on their meal.

The candlelight in the hall is bright, and the mother and child are in harmony.
