Princess Shouyang went to bathe and change clothes.

Zhang Xi quietly informed the British Duchess of the matter.

The British Duchess didn't want to have this story, pondered for a moment, and said: "Since Your Majesty is out of the palace in Weifu, he is naturally unwilling to reveal his identity. Miss Huang is not guilty of ignorance, and it is also a matter of course.

"However, for the sake of safety, you should let someone talk to the prince first, so as not to be inconsiderate when you get it."

In the near future, the official media will go to the Huang family to propose marriage, and there must be no complications during this period.

Mrs. Shizi promised to arrange it herself.

Waiting for Princess Shouyang to bathe and change clothes, Qi Yu and Zhang Tan had already gotten the news, but they all pretended to be fine.

When Princess Shouyang and her entourage arrived at the martial arts arena, Qi Yu had already tried all the eighteen weapons, and Zhang Chi and Zhang Lan also accompanied him through dozens of moves.

Seeing Princess Shouyang and her party coming, except for Zhang Chi, the eyes of several others fell on Huang Yi'an.

After the visit, Huang Yi'an saluted and pleaded: "Last time in Wuzhangfeng, the courtier's words and deeds were insignificant, and I also asked Your Majesty to surrender the crime." ”

Zhang Tan had already prepared, so he would not panic.

Zhang Lan was taken aback, subconsciously took two steps forward, and stood beside Huang Yi'an.

Qi Yu glanced at him, and his gaze fell back on Huang Yi'an's body.

Last time, the double bun was combed into a hanging bun this time, and a jeweled hairpin was also inserted, reflecting the silver-gray cloak, which was bright and unassuming. A strand of black hair fell down from her right shoulder, caught by the evening breeze, and raised a few green strands......

Yesterday's lively and interesting little girl, I don't know when, has quietly become a gentle and chaste girl.

"Brother Huang, there is a saying that 'those who don't know are not guilty', and Miss Huang is also an unintentional mistake, so you can forgive her this time." Princess Shouyang saw that Qi Yu was silent when she looked at Huang Yi'an, and thought that he was angry, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and persuaded him.

Qi Yu smiled and said, "Why did I ever blame her? Shouyang don't want to wronged the emperor's brother. ”

After that, he raised his hand at Huang Yi'an and smiled kindly: "Miss Huang, please get up quickly." I was originally out of the palace and didn't want to publicize it, so why are you guilty? ”

Huang Yi'an bowed again, thanked him solemnly, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Last time in Wuzhangfeng, she was too impulsive, and she was angry with the emperor in this life for the old feud in her previous life, but she didn't expect the two to meet again today, and the emperor directly revealed his identity.

Then the sin has to be pleased.

Actually, it's not a big deal, anyway, she has always been very good at asking the emperor for guilt......

Zhang Lan also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Huang Yi'an's gaze softer than the evening sun.

Qi Yu felt that today's sunset was a little dazzling, so he lowered his eyes and turned his face away.

A young man in Tsing Yi walked up to Feng Lin and whispered a few words.

Feng Lin's face immediately changed.

"Your Majesty, there is a station report from the border gate, Lord Shousuke, please return to the palace immediately." Feng Lin reported urgently.

Everyone was shocked.

The little guy hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "The person sent by the palace to deliver the message is outside the martial arts arena at this moment. ”

Qi Yu's face turned solemn when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "Drive back to the palace." ”

Everyone hurriedly sent them off.

When Luan drove back to the palace, Huang Yian also got up to say goodbye.

The British duchess forced a smile and said, "Good boy, I will invite you to come to the house to play when I get back." ”

The person who came to the news from the military department said that the war was burning in the northwest, and the British Duke and his second son Zhang Chao were stationed. Even if she didn't inquire carefully, she was already frightened.

As soon as Huang Yi'an left, the British duchess immediately instructed Zhang Tan: "You immediately go to the military department to inquire about the news, and you must ask clearly!" ”

Zhang Tan was solemn and took the order.

Later, Zhang Tan returned and immediately went to the main room to report to the British duchess.

"About half a month ago, Kerim, the third prince of Gaochang Kingdom, led more than 1,000 people to raid the border and encountered his father, who was patrolling the border here. Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, his father was wounded and was desperately escorted into the customs by his soldiers.

"The Crimea attacked successfully, and after taking the opportunity to plunder several villages in the pass, he quickly withdrew and remained dormant for the time being. However, his father expected that if he dared to act like this, he would have a backhand, so Feishu reported to the court and asked for instructions on whether to go to war or continue to defend. Zhang Tan was worried.

Since the unexpected death of the lord of Gaochang, the civil war between the three princes for the throne has not stopped, and the imperial court ordered the border soldiers to stick to Jiayu Pass, one is afraid of being affected by the war, and the other is also trying to consume the strength of the other party through the civil war.

Judging from the situation at the border gates in recent years, the strategy of taking precautions but not striking and reaping the benefits has indeed achieved certain results.

But as things stand, this is not a long-term solution.

"How's your father's injury?" The British Duchess hurriedly asked.

She doesn't care whether the court is fighting or defending, she only hopes that her husband is safe and sound at the moment.

"Mother doesn't have to worry." Zhang Tan hurriedly comforted her and said, "It's all flesh wounds, military doctors are the best at this, I think now that ten years have passed, my father should be almost better." ”

When the British duchess heard this, she let out a long breath and relaxed her heart slightly.

After a pause, he frowned again and said, "What does this Kerim think?" The sweat position has not yet been won, and he has the audacity to stretch out his hand to Daqi! Isn't he worried that his two brothers will stab him in the back, or that the three armies of the Great Qi will be completely wiped out? ”

Zhang Tan sighed: "In late autumn, the wind is getting tighter, the grass is withering and yellow, and they have no food and clothing, so they come to the border to loot, which is the practice every year." If not, why would my father be stationed at Jiayuguan all the year round and not be allowed to return to Beijing to reunite with us. ”

As the commander of the Northwest Army, the British Duke naturally had to sit in Jiayuguan to strictly prevent Gaochang from picking quarrels and provoking troubles and plundering the border people.

The British duchess sighed heavily, slapped one on the table, and said hatefully: "These thieves are really hateful! ”

……

Since the war report came, the British public asked for instructions on whether to fight or defend, and the court became a pot of porridge.

Every time Qi Yu went to court, he was troubled by the quarrels of the ministers below.

However, no matter how fierce the quarrel was, no minister forced him to express his position on the spot.

What he approved was the votes submitted by the cabinet, and the power of the cabinet was in the hands of the first assistant Jang Gyu. Even if those people make a fuss, as long as Zhang Shoufu steps forward and says a few words, he can persuade both sides to suppress their anger.

But he didn't want to.

"The Queen Mother, the English princess, said in an excerpt that the reason why the Crimean dared to raid the border and provoke war was because he had already subdued his two brothers. At present, although Gaochang has not yet been reunified, it is actually the only Trojan horse.

"The defensive strategy developed by my father during his lifetime to take advantage of the enemy's internal strife may soon become ineffective. If the courtiers continue to make such a noisy noise, they are afraid that the border defense will be disadvantaged. The child thinks ......"

"Your Majesty wants to fight?" Empress Dowager Li interrupted Qi Yu's words.

"Naturally!" Qi Yu said solemnly, "Just Gaochang, I also dare to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, if I don't beat them back, where is my prestige?" ”

Empress Dowager Li didn't answer, but just asked, "What did Zhang Shoufu say?" ”

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, half-lowered his eyelids, and said in a low voice: "Yuan Fu thinks that the small country of Gaochang is not worth making a big move, so he advocates defending ......."

Empress Dowager Li did not speak.

But Qi Yu understands that silence is her attitude.

The queen mother has always trusted Zhang Shoufu very much.

Zhang Shoufu said that he was the main guard, and the queen mother would never agree with his main battle.

But he didn't want to be an enemy who came to the door, but he didn't dare to fight back!

Before the fall of Hamiwei, the imperial court was mainly defensive against Gaochangguo; After the fall of Hamiwei, the imperial court still blindly defended and did not want to recover; Now that the Crimean has hit the Jiayu Pass again, plundering the border people and provoking wars, is it possible that the great Qi still has to retreat and defend against a small country and a barbarian race? !
