Chapter 686: Take the initiative to ask for help
686
When the queen heard Yu Shan say this, she didn't rush to a conclusion, and thought for a long time before saying, "Mao Ji has a dry temperament, I'm afraid he will make a mistake." ”
"Niangniang is right, there is no perfect strategy in this world, and there must be a few hints of chance in everything that succeeds or fails," Yu Shan's expression did not change, and she still said softly: "I don't dare to guarantee that the second prince will succeed if he goes, but if he doesn't do anything, won't he sit back and wait to die?" ”
The queen was silent for a long time, and she couldn't think of a better way after thinking about it.
So he said: "Let me think about it again, leading soldiers is not a trivial matter, and Jil's temperament is not very stable, I have to think about it carefully." ”
"So I won't bother the mother," Yu Shantingting got up, saluted the queen, and retreated.
Here the queen thought about it, so that she couldn't sleep at night, and the next day I heard that the emperor rewarded Concubine Zeng Li with many rare playthings yesterday, and even said that he would build a dormitory for the five princes.
The princes lived with their mothers until they were seven years old, and they only had their own dormitories after the age of seven, and there were already many dormitories in this palace.
The queen then ordered someone to invite the second prince and said to him: "You fly eagles and horses all day long, and you are not too young to always be playful." I heard that Tanzhou is in trouble now, so it's better to ask you to go, you can also share your father's worries, and show your filial piety, it's better than being so nonsense. That's what I mean, I don't know what you think? ”
The second prince was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "I can't ask for it!" I'm afraid that my father won't allow it. ”
The queen was very happy to see him, and she was originally worried about seven points and put down three points, and said softly: "But the sword has no eyes, and the queen mother is really a little worried......"
"The queen mother doesn't have to," the second prince said nonchalantly: "It's just some bandits and bandits, and they can't read big characters, let alone read military books." I didn't go alone, how could they be hurt if they wanted to? Moreover, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, if it is really destined to be short-lived, lying in bed and sleeping can also sleep to death. ”
"It's not like to talk about it," said the queen, "what is dead or alive, don't say such unlucky words." ”
"Okay, good, good, don't say it," the second prince said flatteringly: "Then I will go to ask my father for his life later, and the queen mother will also remember to help me say some good things." ”
"You just don't mess around." The queen told the second prince: "Whether you succeed or not depends on your father, I can't be the master." ”
The second prince went in a hurry, and at this time the emperor was going to the study to approve the folds.
"The emperor is busy, why don't His Royal Highnesses come back later?" Qu Qing smiled and said, "What can you do?" ”
"Manager Qu, don't underestimate me, I really have something important." The second prince said.
"Alright then, wait a minute, the minion will go in and report it." Qu Qing said and went inside.
It took a long time before he came out and beckoned to the second prince.
The second prince hurriedly walked in and greeted the emperor.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you read two more books if you have the kung fu? The emperor looked at the second prince and asked.
The second prince was still very afraid of the emperor, but when he remembered the purpose of his visit, he mustered up the courage to say: "Erchen heard that there was a bandit trouble in Tanzhou, and he wanted to share his father's worries, and Erchen is not too young to have nothing to do in the palace all day." Now the people are determined, and they all hope that the court can send troops to exterminate the bandits. ”
"It's rare that you can think of this, and you really have grown up and sensible." The emperor couldn't help but sigh: "You can lead troops to fight, not just talking, but fighting with real swords and guns." You don't have the slightest experience, and you're young, so I'm really not at ease. ”
The second prince was naturally anxious when he heard the emperor say this, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, I am twenty years old, and I am not a child. Please give me a chance, and I will never fail you. ”
But the emperor still didn't agree, and the two princes were about to die in a hurry.
"You go down first, I'll have to think about this carefully." The emperor waved his hand and said, "Soldiers are the most important weapons of the country, and they cannot be moved easily. If the use of troops is a last resort, the coach must also carefully consider before deciding. ”
What else did the second prince want to say, Qu Qing tugged at his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty still has a lot of business to deal with, so the second prince should go back first!" ”
The second prince had no choice but to walk out dejectedly, and he was depressed all day.
This emperor came to the queen's bedroom and talked about the request of the second prince.
The queen asked tentatively, "Is it possible for Jill to do it according to Your Majesty?" ”
"Is it easy for you to be a bandit?" The emperor said: "Leading troops to fight is not a joke, not only will it cost a lot of money, but it will also bleed to death, if it wins, it will be fine." If he loses, he will not only lose his soldiers, but also lose his royal face. Do you think I'll let him go? ”
The queen was originally a little worried in her heart, but once she was rejected by the emperor, she felt that she had lost a precious opportunity.
"Even if he goes to suppress bandits, there will be people around him to discuss, so it would be nice to send more experienced lieutenants to follow." The queen said: "No matter how much Jill is still the prince, the people of Tanzhou know that the second prince personally brought troops here, I don't know how grateful they will be." ”
"We'll talk about that in two days." The emperor said he didn't want to talk more: "I'm hungry, ask them to pass the meal." ”
The queen couldn't help but feel that something was missing, but she didn't dare to force it, for fear of arousing the emperor's disgust.
The emperor left after having dinner with her, and did not stay overnight.
still went to Concubine Zeng Li, at this time Concubine Zeng Li had just eaten and was playing with the five princes there.
Concubine Zeng Li, who gave birth, did not become bloated, but added a little bit of mature charm and became more fascinated? Isn't it at the queen's place today?? Won't you stay with the queen today? Concubine Zeng Li smiled and stepped forward to greet the emperor.
The emperor grabbed her and said, "I haven't seen Biao'er and you all day, of course I'm coming." ”
"He's very well-behaved today, he just vomited once." Concubine Zeng Li took the emperor's hand and walked to the bed: "He is a little too greedy." ”
"What a little pig." The emperor said lovingly: "I know how to eat, sleep and sleep all day long." ”
"He doesn't eat, sleep, or sleep, does he want to lead his troops to fight?" Concubine Zeng Li covered her mouth and smiled.
"Speaking of leading troops to fight, today Mao Ji ran to me and took the initiative to ask for help, but I drove him out." The emperor briefly told Concubine Zeng Li about the second prince going to the study today.
"It is indeed risky to lead troops to the battle, and it is really rare for the second prince to have filial piety." Concubine Zeng Li said: "If there is occasional uncertainty today, if he really has a talent, it is indeed a blessing for the emperor!" ”
"So, you think you can let him go?" The emperor asked.
"The concubine just said casually, I'm just a useless woman, how can I understand these military affairs?" Concubine Zeng Li pursed her lips and smiled.
