However, the border war reports were still sent to the capital one by one.

Although there is good news, it is more of a defeat.

Two more cities were occupied by the Western Jinyun Kingdom, and one city was occupied by the Tianyun Kingdom, and because they saw that the two countries had taken advantage of it, other small tribes waited for an opportunity to invade some surrounding villages and towns and slowly encroached on them.

To make matters worse, many cities near the border gates have been plagued one after another.

When the epidemic was raging, one person was infected with the disease, and it spread to the whole family, and from the people to the city guards, the doctors in the city and even the doctors in the army were helpless.

Because of the drought since the spring, a large-scale drought broke out in the Ludi area, the fields were not harvested, and the people had no food.

In addition to fleeing one after another, some of the local people gathered as bandits, but they took the banner of the uprising as a cover.

There are even those who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they preach everywhere that there is an invasion of foreign enemies and a famine inside, because the emperor of the dynasty has done a lot of evil and angered the gods, so he is angry and punished.

In just three or four months, the entire imperial court faced internal and external troubles, revealing a strong sense of instability.

And among the courtiers, the call for peace is getting louder and louder.

"Wechen thinks that although it is very important to defend against foreign enemies, at this time, domestic disasters are everywhere, and it is necessary to appease the people."

"Wechen seconded the proposal that all the money and food used for the war can be used to exterminate bandits everywhere, settle the people, and ensure the stability of the people's livelihood."

"Your Majesty, this peace negotiation is not a surrender, but an expedient measure, my great Qin and Yang are a great country, and I must take back all the cities, but I need to wait for the opportunity."

"The Emperor's ......"

"Your Majesty." An Guogong gave up his hand, "The minister thinks that the integrity of the country is also the integrity of the people, although the people are dissatisfied with the war, but after all, it is because of the continuous defeat, if peace is negotiated at this time, it will make the people more discouraged, and the people's hearts will be more unstable."

"And if peace is negotiated at this time, it seems that Great Qin has a chance to recuperate, but the same is true for the Western Jinyun Kingdom and the Tianyun Kingdom, they will take the opportunity to hoard soldiers, horses, food and grass, and they will even wait for the opportunity to invade again."

"Once the peace negotiation begins, it will be again and again, again and again, with all due respect, this peace negotiation is just relying on Daqin and a lot of territory as a back road, if it is eaten away by the enemy step by step, how much more can I have left in Daqin?"

"When I can't bear it anymore, the Western Jinyun Kingdom and the Tianyun Kingdom have already developed into more powerful, and at that time, even if my Great Qin wants to raise the strength of the whole country to fight a battle, I am afraid that there will be no chance of victory."

"The old minister thinks that this battle must be fought, and it must be fought with a loud reputation."

"What does Dingguo Gong mean......" Qin Yishu paused.

"The old minister thinks that the royal expedition can show the emperor's attitude to the people of the world, second, it can boost the morale of the border soldiers, and third, it can deter the enemy, which is the most suitable move at present." Anguo is fair.

But when An Guogong's voice landed, some courtiers immediately retorted.

"The emperor's ninety-five honor, the body of a daughter, how can he drive the expedition?"

"The sword on the battlefield has no eyes, and the ministers are arrogant, if the emperor has some accidents, how can he afford such a responsibility?"

"Weichen thinks that the royal driver can't do it."

"Your Majesty, Wechen ......"

"Father." Qin Peiyou stood half a step forward, "Erchen is willing to go to the border pass for his father and supervise the war."

"Erchen is now the crown prince, the future prince, and Erchen's visit to the border can also boost the morale of the border pass, and can also convince the people of the world."

"And since the son is the crown prince, he shoulders the responsibility of the country and the society, and needs to serve the country, and I hope that my father and the emperor will allow the son to make this trip!"

Qin Peiyou said, knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Qin Yishu, and then said loudly again, "Please allow your father."

The sound was loud and reverberated throughout the Chongyang Palace.

Qin Yishu pursed his lips and was silent for a long time.

……

A few days later, the crown prince Qin Peiyou drove the emperor on his own expedition and set off soon

The story spread throughout the capital.

The emperor specially sent Zou Yunqi, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to accompany him.

There were also He Yanxiu, Su Yujin, Lu Xingjun and several other young people who had not gone to the border to practice.

The group traveled lightly and briefly, day and night, all the way to the west.

At the beginning of August, the weather was already a little cool, especially in the morning and evening, when the wind was already heavy chill.

As we walked westward, the further we went, the greater the temperature difference between day and night.

At night, you may even need to light a campfire to keep warm.

During the day, he sat drowsy in the carriage all the way, closed his eyes all day long, and got off the car at night to stretch his muscles, Su Yujin was completely sleepy, and simply baked some stone cakes on the bonfire to eat.

The stone cake baked out of the heated stone is low in oil and less salt, crispy and delicious, which can be used as dry food on the road, and the stone cake is added with alkaline water, which is suitable for digestion, and is also extremely good for the spleen and stomach, so as to avoid the physical discomfort caused by hurrying.

Su Yujin was busy, Qing Kui was helping to make the dough on the side, and He Yanxiu was helping to bake clean stones for Su Yujin to use.

Seeing Qing Kui's skillful dough making, Su Yujin pursed her lips and smiled, "Your craftsmanship is much better than before."

"When I was in the capital a few days ago, Sister Wormwood said the same thing." Qingkui smiled, "But Sister Wormwood didn't praise it sincerely at that time."

"Oh? How is it not true to the law?" Su Yujin was a little surprised, "Wormwood is not a stingy person."

"Sister Wormwood is not stingy, but this time the girl went to the border and only brought her maid, not Sister Wormwood, Sister Wormwood was a little unhappy in her heart." Qing Kui scratched his ears and said.

"This wormwood." Su Yujin smiled angrily.

This time I went to the border, I don't know how long it will take, let alone what kind of things I have to go through, the wedding date of Wormwood and Feng Yuanhao is imminent, and this time it can't be delayed any longer, Su Yujin asked Wormwood to stay in the capital to buy a dowry, waiting for the marriage with Feng Yuanhao.

And she also needs to have someone around her who can be used, Qingkui has followed him out many times before, and he has a lot of strength, Su Yujin weighed it for a long time, so he took Qingkui.

"Sister Wormwood is also worried about the girl." Qing Kui said with a smile as she expertly poured the dough on the extremely hot stones, "It's more than worrying about Shopkeeper Feng."

I hope Shopkeeper Feng won't hear this......

Su Yujin pursed her lips and smiled, seeing that the stone cake in the small basket next to her was almost full, and asked Qingkui to go and get a new small basket again.

He Yanxiu changed the stone for Su Yujin, took the baked and crispy stone cake, put it in his mouth and chewed, "What about you?"

"What?" Su Yujin tilted his head.

"Do you think more about me, or do you think more about your father and mother?" He Yanxiu asked.
