Chapter 187: The Prince Disappears
Qin Han patted Xin Nianyan's hand and smiled at her.
His smile was always contagious, Xin Nianyan was a little relieved and nodded.
Qin Han turned around, opened the door, and stepped out of the bedroom.
The moment he closed the door, the smile on his face disappeared cleanly, and his face was full of coldness and coldness, and he no longer saw the gentleness and lightness of the past.
He raised his hand to take the cloak handed by Nineteen, and draped it on his body with his backhand, which shook the hunting sound.
"Master, I received a tip-off that something happened on the front line."
"When I entered the palace today, it is very likely that I want to discuss this matter."
Nineteen followed him briskly and whispered.
Qin Han frowned, "Tell me in detail." ”
"Originally, the war in the Northern Regions was a great victory, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to go his own way......"
Nineteen opened his mouth and explained the contents of the eight-hundred-mile urgent letter to Qin Han one by one.
Since the start of the campaign, the army has won several battles in a row, and the prince has gradually carried away, and even bluntly said that he wants to capture the territory of the Northern Regions and completely end the war between the two countries.
The words are good words, and they invigorate the morale of the army.
But the Guogong Mansion has been working hard for generations, where is it so easy?
But the crown prince Qin Yan felt that he was the heavenly god soldier who ended the Northern Regions, and regardless of General Qiu's obstruction, he took 30,000 elite soldiers to cut off the reinforcements in the Northern Regions.
"He failed?" While speaking, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the palace.
"Failed, was ambushed by the enemy in Yecheng and wiped out, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also missing." Nineteen rounds.
"Missing?" Qin Han raised his eyebrows slightly, "Haven't you been captured?" ”
Nineteen shook his head, "The letter didn't say it. ”
Qin Han thought about it, if he was captured, the prince would not be a hard bone, and it would be impossible for him to hide his identity, and the Northern Regions would have tied him up and used him to exchange for the city.
The two got out of the carriage and went all the way into the palace and went in the direction of the imperial study.
When I arrived at the imperial study, there were already several ministers of the humerus.
Qin Li's face was a little ugly, he should have read the urgent express and knew that the prince was missing.
"King Han is here, sit down."
Seeing Qin Han, he hurriedly called someone to sit down.
As soon as Qin Han sat down, someone circulated a letter.
He already knew the contents of the letter, but he still pretended to read it for a moment before putting it aside.
"What does the prince think?" A minister asked him.
Qin Han thought for a moment and said, "Don't move." ”
Several people were stunned and looked at each other.
"Ridiculous, the crown prince is the foundation of a country, and now that such a big thing has happened, how can he not move!"
Doctor Yu Shi slapped the case and scolded angrily.
He is the grandfather of the crown prince, so it is not surprising that he has such a big anger.
Qin Han raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Then according to the meaning of the imperial history, what should it be?" ”
The imperial envoy doctor frowned and stroked his beard, "Naturally, let Qiu Xuanji's army suppress the realm and force them to hand over the prince!" ”
This sounds like a big problem, but in practice, it's a big problem.
Qin Han looked at him with a smile, and the other courtier quickly realized that something was wrong, and shook his head in opposition.
"The enemy army does not necessarily know about the disappearance of the Prince, so it will only put His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in danger."
"And even if they know, if they can't find the prince, they won't be able to get people."
"If we can find it, then they threaten us, where is our share in threatening them......"
……
The ministers discussed for half a morning, and the final decision was the first sentence Qin Han said.
Let Qiu Xuanji stand still, and privately arrange someone to find the traces of the prince, see the reaction of the enemy army, and then make a decision.
"Pass the eight-hundred-mile urgent order, so that Qiu Xuanji must get the prince back!"
Qin Li raised his forehead and opened his mouth tiredly, the fact that the prince disappeared made him exhausted.
The decision was made, and the emperor ordered 800 li to go out quickly, and the ministers dispersed.
Qin Han did not resign, and kept sitting in front of the bookcase.
"Is there anything else King Han would like to say to me?"
The Emperor looked at him.
"Your Majesty, it is very likely that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will fall into the hands of the enemy now, and in this case, General Qiu Xuanji may have a difficult choice."
Qin Li sighed and nodded, why wasn't he worried about this?
"After thinking about it, I can only repatriate the old prince to the border."
"After two years of rest, it's time to rest enough."
Qin Han twisted his eyebrows, he knew that this would be the case.
"Your Majesty, the old man is already old, and he took sick leave half a month ago, and now this stall is reactivating him, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Qin Li paced back and forth a little irritably when he heard this.
"Why don't I know what you're saying? But is there any other way for me? ”
Qin Han looked at him for a moment before he spoke. "The younger brother is willing to fight for the old prince."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Li's footsteps stopped, and he looked at him with a shocked face.
"You're going on a campaign?"
"Why, the imperial brother can't trust the skills of his minister?" Qin Han raised his eyebrows.
"Of course not!"
Qin Li shook his head, his younger brother was brilliant in all his intelligence, and he knew it best back then.
It's just that he has no intention of going to politics, his heart is to be free in the mountains, and he has always been happy to be idle.
"Brother Huang just didn't expect that you would be willing to lead troops to fight."
He paused for a moment and pondered Qin Han's words carefully.
"Going on the expedition for the old man?"
"For what, for that girl of the Xin family?"
He knew that the girl of the Xin family was close to her grandfather, but he never thought that Qin Han would be willing to go out for her and fight for the princess.
Qin Han was silent for a moment.
Xin Nianyan has not had any relatives around her since she was a child, and only the people in the Guogong Mansion treat her sincerely.
She wanted to protect the peace of the Guogong Mansion, and he helped her.
But the scene still has to be said.
"Naturally, it is to guard Nanxuanhe Mountain and save the prince from fire and water."
"Okay, good ambition, you have such an awareness, the imperial brother is very pleased!"
Qin Li patted Qin Han's shoulder with a smile, knowing that these were just beautiful words.
However, he didn't feel that Qin Han was swayed by women, how unproductive he was.
It is easy to control if there is a weakness, and the superior has always disliked subordinates who are too perfect and have no handle.
"By the way, this morning the queen came to Dongchen Palace to complain, saying that you led someone to break into the Fengyi Palace yesterday, also for that girl?"
Qin Li suddenly remembered this and asked teasingly.
"Nothing in this palace can escape the eyes of the imperial brother, what happened yesterday, the imperial brother knows better than me."
Qin Han glanced at him lightly, "But the imperial brother reminded the younger brother that if the younger brother of the minister goes on a long journey, and there is such a thing as yesterday, the younger brother will not be able to come back to save people." ”
Qin Li immediately restrained his ridiculous expression, and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of my brother and daughter-in-law for you and grant her the right to refuse to be seen." ”
"Even if I want to see her, I have to get her permission."
Qin Han rubbed his chin and thought for himself.
"She was injured when she originally saved the Seventh Prince, and she was punished to kneel all morning yesterday, and it rained again, and she is afraid that she is still lying in bed with a fever."
"Brother Huang, if you are so unmoved, I am afraid that it will chill the prime minister's heart."
Qin Li immediately understood what he meant, and said in a deep voice with a sharp expression.
"Come here, spread my message, the queen is unfair, her virtue is wrong, she will be punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days, and be grounded for half a month."
The eunuch who delivered the decree responded to the next sentence and got up and left the imperial study.
Qin Li looked at Qin Han, "How, is this fair?" ”
Qin Han smiled and bowed his head, "Imperial Brother Shengming, my brother thank you for the prime minister and Yanyan." ”
