Chapter 282: Attack on the Yihe Clan
In the palace, Rong Yan deliberately concealed the news, Zhao Yunling didn't know the news of the previous dynasty, only knew that Rong Yan had locked up Meng Xia and dealt with it, Cuizhu was indignant when she said this in her ear, and she couldn't wait to run over and beat Meng Xia in person.
Zhao Yunling reluctantly hooked his lips, but there was no other reaction, Cuizhu saw all these in his eyes, knowing what the young lady was unhappy about in her heart, but there was no way, so she had to say: "Miss, don't be sad anymore, there will be children in the future." ”
"yes, I know."
Zhao Yunling said in a hoarse voice, and then continued not to speak, now she can only lean on the bed and can't move, she closed her eyes after saying this, Cuizhu had no choice but to say nothing.
When going to court the next day, those officials mentioned Rong Yan's disposal of Meng Xia again in the court, and Rong Yan not only disposed of Meng Xia alone, the people who quietly stayed in the capital in front of the seagull line were also taken out and locked up by Yueqing with all the people, and these news spread quickly, thinking that it would not take long to spread to the Yihe tribe like wings, and even people from other countries in the capital already knew the news, and they would definitely have other ideas at this time.
When he went to the court, Shangguan Wu didn't come, saying that he was sick, Rong Yan knew in his heart why Shangguan Wu didn't come, and even yesterday these officials went to find Shangguan Wu, they already knew about it, but they didn't say it.
At this time, Rong Yan sat there and listened to those strict management and strong words, his brows were always furrowed, and he didn't say a word.
But the generals on the other side couldn't help but quarrel.
"Lord Liu kept saying that it was not good to offend the Yihe clan now, and it was inevitable that other countries would take advantage of this time to fight the autumn breeze, but when is it the best way to compromise and seek perfection? In my opinion, the best way is to beat the Yihe Clan, deter them, and let them know that even if our Dongwen Kingdom has just experienced so many things, people can't be bullied by one person at random, if this time Meng Xia poisoned the queen, just because it is the princess of the Yihe Clan, then what will happen in the future? ”
"But where is the simple matter of this war?"
"Fighting a war is not a simple matter, and I didn't say that I would not defend it, and blindly attacked."
After the military general finished speaking, he turned his head to Rong Yan and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if even the little Yihe clan is a small one, we will have to let it go again and again, and no one will put Dongwenguo in the eyes in the future, this is the time to establish prestige, and we must not let those people with bad intentions think that my Dongwenguo is really easy to bully, and even if the mother of the country is killed, I can only swallow my anger." ”
"General......" Lord Liu said anxiously: "It's not this time to establish prestige." ”
"I think now is the right time."
"You ......"
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel in the court, Rong Yan said at this time: "The Yihe clan was also on duty with threats at the beginning, and now Meng Xia poisoned the queen may not have the support of the leader of the Yihe clan, otherwise a princess who is close to her will not dare to do such a big rebellious thing, General Chen is right, if you blindly retreat at this time, then the world will feel that Dongwenguo can be bullied." ”
"Your Majesty! But this march and battle cost money......"
Before Lord Liu's words were finished, Yueqing's voice suddenly came from outside: "You don't need to worry about the military rations for this war, the household department has not already had a charter, and the silver that the queen mother did business before was also charged into the treasury, and now it is not as hard as you think." ”
"This ......"
When Lord Liu was said like this, he was immediately speechless.
Rong Yan smiled: "That's true, I have already decided to use troops against the Yihe clan, and there is no need to discuss it at this time." ”
The officials below still have a lot to say, but looking at this situation, they also know in their hearts that although the emperor didn't say anything from beginning to end, he made so many arrangements, and he wanted to use troops against the Yihe clan, so he had to stop and not say anything about it.
After Rong Yan decided this matter in the court, he had to hand it over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household to prepare, and the time for this preparation would take a month or two, and when this time passed, the Yihe clan had already known the news, and the countries around Dongwen Kingdom also quickly knew the news, but in the end, Dongwen Country had been dominant for many years, and no one really dared to roar so quickly and bumped into it, so he still didn't move and waited for the spies to investigate.
After Rong Yan decided on this matter, he secretly discussed it with Shangguan Wu and the two of them, and in the Dongwen Kingdom, all the spies saw were thriving and strong, so that the news reported by the blanket back would make those who had ambitions to annex the Dongwen Kingdom temporarily restrain their minds.
And at this time, the Hu people also had to guard against it, although the Hu people made peace at the beginning, but after dealing with the Hu people for so many years, everyone knew that this so-called covenant actually didn't work very well.
And in the past two months, Rong Yan has been used to accompany Zhao Yunling, seeing that his body is getting better little by little, he is a little relieved, he wants to go to the front line in person, but there are some people who can't rest assured here, if he usually doesn't worry, there is nothing to worry about leaving all these things behind Zhao Yunling.
But now, although she doesn't show it in front of him, she knows that he has grief hidden in his heart, and I'm afraid she can't lift her spirit to deal with those things.
Shangguan Wu can stir up the storm in the officialdom, and it is also very good in the army, this time Shangguan Wu will be left, at least to ensure that when she has no intention of doing those things, there will be no problems in the court, and those who still have different intentions can also be suppressed. Dream life
Rong Yan didn't say these things before, and it wasn't until he was about to go on the expedition that Rong Yan said it.
After two months of cultivation, Zhao Yunling's body is almost better, but it is difficult to get pregnant, and Rong Yan asked the imperial doctor not to say it.
When she heard that Rong Yan was going to personally lead the troops to fight, she actually wanted to go herself, but she knew when she saw Rong Yan's appearance that she wanted to speak and stopped: "Do you want me to stay in the court?" ”
"Yes."
Rong Yan nodded: "Although your current body is well-raised, but the march and combat are still hard, if you are in the court, I will leave Yueqing and Shangguan Wu, these two people can help you a lot, if you don't want to take care of the affairs of the court, leave it to these two people to do, if you want to manage, these two people are also your good helpers." ”
Zhao Yunling was silent for a moment: "It's just that at this time, if you go in person......"
"I've already arranged everything else."
She looked at Rong Yan: "Are you for me?" ”
Rong Yan's attitude towards the Yihe clan was not so resolute before, presumably this time it was not Meng Xia who poisoned himself, and Rong Yan would not be so resolute in arranging everything in a short period of time, and he was determined to attack the Yihe clan.
"It's not all like this, the Yihe clan is too arrogant during this time, I was not very comfortable when the leader of the Yihe clan came to me to threaten me before, but I didn't do it at that time, no matter when, this battle is always going to be fought, and the leader of the Yihe clan should also know that when he relies on the power of others to coerce me, I will not let him go after I come to my senses."
Zhao Yunling looked at the glint in Rong Yan's eyes.
It cannot be denied that Rong Yan does have these thoughts in his heart.
But he knew more in his heart that if it weren't for himself, Rong Yan would not at least use troops against the Yihe clan so quickly, and now the matter of Rong Chao's rebellion has just been suppressed for a long time, and the officials in the DPRK and China have even some who have not made up for it, and there are still many people in the court and the royal family who are not convinced by Rong Yan, and these people will jump up without hesitation whenever they find an exit.
But now that everything is ready, there is no reason to back down.
She pursed her lips: "That's fine, don't worry, I will handle the affairs of the DPRK and China, but you personally lead the troops to the battle, and the Hu people in Northern Xinjiang ......"
"I asked Jiang Yan to bring people over, a few years ago, when my father was still there, Jiang Yan never showed his ability, but Jiang Yan actually has some ability, in the end, he is a person from a military general family, not a straw bag."
"Okay."
Zhao Yunling nodded.
Jiang Yan was Rong Yan's friend before, and helped Rong Yan do a lot of things, what ability can be easily pressed, and going to northern Xinjiang is also a suitable arrangement.
"And when are you going to go?"
"Now everything is ready, and I will leave Beijing in a few days."
Zhao Yunling thought about it, and then didn't say anything more.
Within two days, Rong Yan directly led the army to the expedition, the news had been concealed before, and on the day of Rong Yan's punishment, the civil and military officials knew that Rong Yan was going to go out in person and leave the affairs of the court to the queen to take care of.
Immediately, someone knelt down and wanted to ask Rong Yan not to be pro-government, but to stay, and even wanted to say that the queen was a person in the harem, and it was okay to manage the harem, but she had not been in contact with the government and would not do these things, but Rong Yan had already made up his mind to pay attention, and entrusted the affairs of the capital to Shangguan Wu before, and he was too lazy to listen to these people's ramblings at this time, so he rode away directly.
The minister who was just about to preach with enthusiasm: "......"
After Rong Yan left with the people, Zhao Yunling turned around and glanced at Lord Liu, who was still kneeling on the ground: "The emperor has left, Lord Liu has also risen, I know what you want to say in your heart, but now that the emperor has left, it is useless for you to kneel here." ”
Lord Liu blushed his old face, and it was not kneeling there, nor was he kneeling.
