Chapter 373: Proposal to go to the border pass
An Mingchen smiled and hugged Huangfu Xue in his arms, and was about to answer, when the magpie ran in anxiously, "Miss, uncle, someone is in the palace." said that the emperor recruited his aunt to enter the palace immediately. ”
What is the emperor doing when he recruited him into the palace at this time, could it be that something happened to the front line? An Mingchen hurriedly let go of Huangfu Xue, put on his coat, and stared at Huangfu Xue as he walked out, "I entered the palace this time, I don't know when I will be able to come back, if you are sleepy, rest first." ”
After An Mingchen left, Huangfu Xue sat in the room, fidgeting, "Magpie, did you ask the person who came to deliver the letter just now, what happened in the palace?" "There must be something big about entering the palace so late. The biggest thing in the palace recently is the war with Nanyue. But didn't you say that you had won a big victory? Could it have happened again? Thinking of this, Huang Fuxue's face changed and changed.
"The slave and maid were a little scared when they saw that those people were fierce and vicious...... the magpie was really afraid, but when she saw the young lady glaring at her, she quickly explained, "But I really tried to ask, but they didn't say anything, and the slave and maid really had no choice." ”
"That's it, you can't be blamed for this matter, it is strictly forbidden to do things when you come out of the palace. In addition, this matter is very important, and it is not surprising that they will not tell you, the hour is not early, you should go and rest first. Huangfu Xue took the account book and began to settle the accounts, An Mingchen didn't come back, she couldn't sleep with worry, instead of sitting, it was better to find something to do, and save herself from thinking nonsense here.
"Miss doesn't rest, slaves don't rest, slaves and maids accompany Miss and wait for her uncle to come back." The magpie arrived at a cup of tea and handed it to Huangfu Xue, "Miss, don't worry, my uncle will be back soon." ”
At this time, in the palace, the emperor threw the urgent report from the front line to An Mingchen, after An Mingchen read it quickly, his face sank a little, he originally thought that after the defeat of Nanyue that day, even if he was unwilling, it would take a while to make a comeback, but he didn't expect them to be so impatient, and hit Yang Zihao and they were caught off guard.
Nanyue seems to be crazy now, knowing that it will not do them any good to fight like this, and he will continue to fight it his own way, the war at the border is still fighting, the emperor and the ministers did not expect it, and now they do not have any advantage, everyone is dignified, "Your Majesty, from the perspective of Weichen, Nanyue is annoyed and angry, looking for face, and when they find face, they will let go, let them go." ”
"Li Shangshu, what do you mean by this, what do you mean by letting them go, there are 100,000 troops at the border pass, do you want to lose the lives of these 100,000 troops?" An Mingchen was the first to object, and even a little angry, "Your Majesty, in Weichen's opinion, this matter is not as simple as we think, if you want to do it once and for all, you still have to send someone to the border to negotiate with Nanyue, and know their purpose for a while, and the second is to end this war as soon as possible." ”
The emperor also wants to end this war as soon as possible, but ...... Now it's not that they want to end it and solve it, Nanyue is holding on to it, and even looks like fighting to the end, which makes them anxious, and they have been discussing until late at night and can't think of a feasible way, the emperor asked them to leave first, ready to continue tomorrow. When he got home, An Mingchen saw that Huangfu Xue hadn't rested yet, so he stepped forward distressedly, "Didn't I tell you before, don't wait for me to come back?" ”
"I can't sleep alone, what the hell is going on, but it's solved." Pulling him to sit down, An Mingchen poured a cup of tea and drank it all, "Things are more complicated than we thought, Nanyue was defeated last time, I originally thought that they would keep a low profile for a while, but I didn't expect that they would make a comeback, and this time the trend was even more violent than before." The emperor is worried that they will be entangled with General Yang to the end......"
"How many people are still in General Yang's hands?" Huang Fuxue found out the seriousness of the matter and put down his calculations, "Less than 100,000." "Huangfu Xue gasped, there will be nearly 150,000 a few days ago, how long has it been, no wonder the emperor is so anxious, I'm afraid that if I wait any longer, not only General Yang, but also the border pass will not be able to be saved." What about Nanyue? ”
"From the beginning to now, there should have been 300,000 dead troops. It is said that this time Nanyue discharged all the soldiers who could be used. It seems that they want to fight us to the end. ”
"What's in it for them that he's doing that." Huangfu Xue was very puzzled, could the king of a country only have such a measure, just for a breath, he had to fight them to the end? Let's not talk about how long he can fight with them, isn't he worried about the other countries, even if he wins them, the other countries want to take advantage of the fisherman, and when the time comes, won't he have no place to cry.
What Huangfu Xue can think of, the emperor can naturally think of, but now Nanyue is biting them like a mad dog, and he has no other way but to deal with it. "After a night of discussion, nothing could be done. I'm afraid there will be a long discussion tomorrow. ”
"Xianggong, do you have any good ideas?" Huang Fuxue saw that she was not in a high mood, so he knew that this matter was much more serious than he thought. An Mingchen glanced at her, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke, "I want to go to the border in person." Huangfu Xue was slightly stunned, and then understood, "You want to see Nanyue's intentions for yourself, and you also want to see how many chances we have of winning this time, right." ”
"Yes, this time we are too passive, it is very bad for us, if we continue like this, even if we have an advantage, it will become a disadvantage, so I want to go to the border as soon as possible. It's just a lady, if I leave, the family will ......" An Mingchen is worried that Huangfuxue and the Li family can't coexist peacefully, and he can still hold it down when he is there, and when she leaves, no one will take care of it, and I don't know what will happen.
"I'll go to the border with you." Huangfu Xue thought about it and spoke. Staring at An Mingchen with straight eyes, with a look of insistence, An Mingchen didn't want to refuse, "Nonsense, now the border is constantly fighting, it is very turbulent, you are a woman, how good it is to stay in the capital, what to do over there." An Mingchen didn't want her to take risks, and was even afraid that he would be in a little danger.
However, An Mingchen was worried that he would be injured, so wouldn't Huangfu Xue be worried about him being injured? Huangfu Xue looks gentle and well-behaved on weekdays, but once he decides about something, ten cows can't pull it back. "You misunderstood, I didn't go to the border because of you, I negotiated with Nanyue on behalf of the imperial court, didn't they want to establish trade ties with us, I will use this reason to pass. The current situation is already very unfavorable for them, if they are smart people, they will definitely accept it when they meet it, and when the time comes, it can also give us a little buffer time. ”
An Mingchen had to admit that this was a good suggestion, but it was dangerous to go to the border pass, and the border pass was even more dangerous, she was a woman, even if he was with her, An Mingchen still had no way to ensure that nothing went wrong, he stretched out his hand to hold the person in his arms, and sighed unconsciously, "Lady, if you can, I really hope that you can stay at home with peace of mind, and don't go anywhere." I want you to be simple and happy and do what you want to do instead of ......"
"That's what I want to do right now. Xianggong, I'm an imperial businessman, isn't this what I'm going to do? Huangfu Xue smiled, "It's not early, let's rest early." Huang Fuxue smiled happily when she saw him, this night, neither of them slept well, the next morning, An Mingchen woke up, Huangfu Xue also woke up, the two got up before and after, An Mingchen hurriedly pressed her back, "It's still early, let's sleep for a while." ”
"No need, I'm not going to sleep when you're gone, so I might as well get up and do something else." Huangfu Xue really couldn't sleep, after getting up, after waiting for An Mingchen to leave, he took the account book and began to settle the accounts, but he didn't know where he was drifting, and he didn't finish reading a page for a long time, and the magpie stood aside, worried.
As An Mingchen thought, the early dynasty had not discussed countermeasures, after the next dynasty, An Mingchen followed the emperor to the imperial study, and before the case, the emperor scolded coldly, "These officials, usually talk more fiercely than anyone else when they are fine, there is really something, one by one they have become dumb, and now the matter of the border is imminent, and a night has passed, and there ......is no progress at all."
"Your Majesty, Weichen has a proposal, I don't know ...... emperor" An Mingchen glanced at the emperor, and when the emperor heard this, his face was a little better, and he hurriedly spoke, "I know, you still have a way, just say it, I believe you." An Mingchen responded, and directly said yesterday's plan, the emperor heard this, did not immediately reply, looked at An Mingchen, hesitated and then spoke, "Mingchen, I know the relationship between you and Mrs. An, don't you worry about any accidents along the way?" ”
"Wechen is naturally worried, don't hide it from the emperor, when Wechen heard this suggestion, he almost didn't think about it and refused, but my wife said that this is the fastest way to solve the war between the two countries, and Wechen also knows that the situation at the border is grim, so even if it is dangerous, Wechen still agreed." Although a night has passed, An Mingchen's face is still not much better, the emperor originally thought that this proposal was proposed by An Mingchen, but he didn't expect it to be proposed by Huangfu Xue, happy and worried. "Have you really figured it out?"
The emperor also knew that this was a good idea, but ...... After thinking about it, he looked up and asked, An Mingchen took two steps forward, and after saluting, he said solemnly, "For the sake of the court, for the people at the border, it is incumbent on Weichen and his wife." Other than that. Wechen hopes that the emperor will appoint Wechen as an envoy, so that Wechen can also protect her. ”
"Yes, I promise you." Solved a major matter, the emperor's face was a lot better, the emperor did not keep him more when the time was pressing, and made a holy decree, leaving early tomorrow morning, An Mingchen went back to Huangfu's house, and when he went back, Huangfuxue had already begun to pack his things. Seeing her come back, he hurriedly stepped forward, "How is it, does the emperor agree?" ”
An Mingchen strode forward and pulled the person into his arms, "Lady, this time you are afraid that you will suffer with me." When Huang Fuxue heard this, she knew that she agreed, and smiled happily, "With my husband by my side, I'm not afraid of hardship." ”
