Above the court, the national teacher listened to the reports of various ministries, and he also had a rough idea in his heart.

"What's going on with the cold in the capital?" This is the most important thing at the moment, and I don't know if what Xia Jingnian arranged before will work.

Someone immediately wrote: "Returning to the country, the wind and cold among the people in the capital are gradually showing signs of improvement, and I think that it will be able to recover in less than two days." ”

"Well, it's so good, the porridge field and the Tai Hospital continue to cooperate, and work day and night, in addition, the price of rice, flour, oil and other grains in the capital must be well controlled, and the shops must not be distracted, you know?"

"Yes, National Teacher." This has always been the case, so there is no sign of riot in the capital, which is a blessing in misfortune.

After retreating from the court, before the national teacher left, the border was urgently reported.

Seeing this, the ministers who were about to retire turned back one after another and stood back again.

"The Western Regions have raised troops, and they have arrived at my Dachen border pass, and I implore the national division to send troops to fight!" The handwriting on the letter was slightly scribbled, and it was only a few words, which was enough to see that it was written in a hurry.

The national teacher was in a hurry, crumpled the letter in his hand, and all the courtiers saw that the national teacher's face changed greatly, and they didn't understand what was going on.

"The Western Regions actually took advantage of the fire to rob and began to provoke my frontier!" The national teacher clenched his hands into fists and was angry.

The courtiers were in an uproar, "How is this good?" ”

The people of the capital are even more panicked, and finally this wind and cold are about to get over, but they don't want the Western Regions to take advantage of the fire to rob, isn't this an internal and external trouble?

The national teacher was full of sorrow, and for this matter, he didn't rest well for two days.

Xia Jingnian is still sick, and the state affairs are fully entrusted to the national teacher to help take care of it, although Xia Yuxuan, who is only three years old, can be regarded as a master, but in the end he is still a child, and there are few things that can be settled.

On weekdays, I have to be busy with schoolwork. Although he is only three years old, his calm temperament is exactly the same as Xia Jingnian.

Not only that, he already has the aura of an emperor at a young age, which makes the national teacher see hope in him.

Jinluan Palace, in the dormitory.

"Among the people of the capital, there are those who take the initiative to ask for help, hoping to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and also ask the prince of the national teacher for permission, recruit soldiers, and expand the military camp."

"The wind and cold have gradually improved, and the people will be cured in a few days, and please rest assured."

Xia Yuxuan sat on the chair word by word and listened to Xia Jingnian's recital, After reading, he said to Xia Jingnian: "Father, get better quickly, you don't know that the national teacher can be strict with his sons." ”

He would spend an hour watching Xia Jingnian every day, and read him today's recital word by word.

And Xia Nianyu, at the beginning, would accompany Xia Yuxuan to say for a quarter of an hour, and then he would go to Chonghua Temple to chant and pray for blessings, praying for God's blessing, his father and emperor could survive this catastrophe safely, and the queen mother could come back as soon as possible.

Leng Xiang and Xi'er have been serving the prince and princess, and seeing that the two children seem to have grown up overnight, they are bittersweet.

A three-year-old child from an ordinary family is a time to play at this time, and he is pampered by his father and mother. happy

They are the two most noble children in the world, and now one has to deal with state affairs every day, and the other has to take care of his sick father and emperor, but also to chant and pray for blessings, which is really difficult for them.

I really hope Ji Qiang will come back soon......

At this time, the national teacher was already anxious, and the frontier reports were one after another, and he was frowning all day.

General Wei Chi died on the battlefield a few years ago, leaving behind a Yu Chi Zongyu, but he still had to guard the safety of the imperial city.

In this situation, I am afraid that no one can really go to the battlefield.

"National Teacher, now that the army of the Western Regions is pressing, if we don't send troops again, I'm afraid it's really going to be over." Xia Yuxuan looked at the national teacher's sad appearance and couldn't help but say.

Of course, he knew that the national teacher knew these truths, but now the national teacher has not decided on the candidate for the expedition, which makes the ministers and the people of the DPRK and China panic.

"If the national teacher is worried about the comfort of the imperial city and does not let Uncle Wei Chi go on the expedition, I think my father will not agree. He cares more about the safety of the people on the border. "It is said that the son is the father, but the father is the son?

The national teacher touched Xia Yuxuan's head and said, "But I can't do this." The people are innocent, but the safety of this imperial city is more important, especially your father, I will never let him have anything to do. ”

"Then what should I do, do you want to let the soldiers of the Western Regions do whatever they want?" Xia Yuxuan asked rhetorically.

As soon as the words fell, a deep voice sounded outside the door, "Naturally not!" ”

"Grandpa!" Xia Yuxuan ran in front of the arrivalman in two steps, hugged Ji Yuanxun's thigh, and looked up at him, "At this hour, why are you here?" ”

Ji Yuanxun and the national teacher bowed to each other, and the national teacher asked suspiciously: "Why did the national prince come here at this time?" ”

"I've heard all of your conversations. The imperial city is important, and so are the people! Since no one can lead the troops, then I, the old bone, will go to the battlefield in person and kill him! Ji Yuanxun said majestically.

Before the national teacher could speak, Xia Yuxuan stopped doing it first, "No! Grandpa, how can you go to war at your age? ”

"You kid, your grandfather is not old enough to be supported! It's still okay to fight! Besides, can you find someone in the court who is more suitable to lead troops to fight than your grandfather? After listening to Xia Yuxuan's words, Ji Yuanxun did not rush to refute, but threw the question back to Xia Yuxuan first.

Xia Yuxuan was silent, and after a long time, he said, "No!" Father will definitely not agree! The queen mother has not come back yet, and you have gone to the battlefield, if you are injured, the queen mother will know it, won't she be sad and sad? ”

"What if my grandfather was injured for the country? Donating your body is no problem! If you can sacrifice your life for the country, you will also die a well-deserved death, even if your mother is sad, she will understand. Ji Yuanxun persuaded.

Xia Yuxuan's concerns are also the concerns of the national teacher, he has been sitting next to him without saying a word, just to let Xia Yuxuan persuade him.

It can be seen that Ji Yuanxun has made up his mind, and there is really no one available in the DPRK at this time, so he is hesitant in his heart.

"Still no! Grandpa, I can't bear to let you go! Xia Yuxuan saw that Xiaozhi's reasoning didn't work, so he simply hugged Ji Yuanxun's thigh and whimpered, trying to impress Ji Yuanxun with emotion.

It doesn't matter if he cries, Ji Yuanxun is uncomfortable, but he still insists: "Good grandson, a man sheds blood without tears, and he naturally has to sacrifice for the country and the people." Thou shalt not abandon the people in fire and water for the sake of your own interests. ”

His words made the national teacher also boil with enthusiasm, hesitated for a long time, and finally made a decision, "Since the words of the national prince have been said to this point, if I don't agree again, it will be a child's love!" ”

Immediately stood up and said to Ji Yuanxun: "This time forward, please pay more attention to safety, and be sure to return safely!" ”
