Huan Ci shook his head in a panic, only to realize that there was no movement around.

She looked up suspiciously, just in time to meet Fu Shen's eyes. The man was staring at her coldly, the corners of his mouth tightened.

hurriedly moved her gaze to Zong Zhengche, who was on the side, but saw that the other party was also looking at her curiously.

She cleared her throat and said casually: "Lord Fu is really a talent, with outstanding appearance, no wonder Your Majesty likes it so much." ”

As soon as the words fell, Huan Ci regretted it. There was some ambiguity in what she said.

The atmosphere instantly cooled down, but Zong Zhengche didn't seem to notice it, and while leading Huan Ci into the palace, he responded and said: "Fu Shaoqing is indeed a good skin, you don't know how many people write poems to make fun of him." ”

Huan Ci nodded and smirked, and quickly diverted the topic.

Fu Shenzheng followed behind the two of them not far away, which inevitably made her feel like a man.

"Your face is so bad." Zong Zhengche suddenly changed his head and looked at her with concern,

"Maybe it's too cold." Huan Ci said casually.

As soon as she finished speaking, a hand stove was stuffed into her hand.

"Today's snow must be very cold. The county lord is a woman, so she should take more care of it. ”。

Huan Ci was at a loss: "How can this work, absolutely not, how can I use your things." ”

"Why not?" Zong Zhengche smiled very brightly, "You and I are old acquaintances, you don't have to be so polite." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful."

Huan Ci smiled like a flower, which made Zong Zheng shake his mind for a while.

The two looked at each other for a moment before continuing on their way, completely unaware of the grim gaze of the man behind them.

Soon after, the three of them finally walked to the place where they went to the court.

It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, Zong Zhengyuan was late, and the courtiers were not surprised, it seemed that they had expected it.

After everyone calmed down, they began to play big and small things.

Huan Ci stood at the forefront, listening drowsily.

"Lord Ding'an, tell me about the battle situation in Yunzhou."

Suddenly hearing her name, she instantly came to her senses.

For a moment, everyone looked at her, and Huan Ci cleared his throat and said the words that had been prepared for a long time.

"How many people do you think I should send to Daizhou?"

Zong Zhengyuan glanced at the silent courtiers at the bottom of the stairs, and took the lead in breaking the silence.

"Erchen thinks it must be 50,000."

A man in fancy clothes standing beside Zong Zhengche said in a deep voice.

Glancing at this unknown person, Huan Ci secretly pinched his sweat.

She had discussed with her father that 50,000 yuan was already the worst situation.

Now that someone had opened their mouths, the crowd began to talk about it.

Zong Zhengyuan looked at the courtiers who were discussing hotly at the steps, and his expression became more and more solemn.

"Why didn't Fu Shaoqing speak, do you have any opinion on this matter?"

"Weichen thinks 20,000 is enough." Fu Shen stood up unhurriedly and said loudly.

Twenty thousand? That's just too little.

Huan Ci was just about to refute him, but Zong Zhengche had already spoken: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at least 30,000 troops are needed. ”

"Your Highness, the garrison in the capital is already insufficient, and now it is already stretched thin to send troops, 20,000 is enough." Fu Shen Zhengzhi said.

"Fu Shaoqing is a civilian official, and he doesn't know what is going on the battlefield. Before leaving, King Dingyuan explained to me that at least 50,000 yuan was needed. Huan Ci glanced at Fu Shen angrily.

"I heard that the king of Dingyuan used his soldiers like a god, and he rarely failed. Besides, there are already a large number of troops stationed in the northwest, and now that another 50,000 troops are sent there, how can the imperial court afford it? ”

Fu Shaoqing's words are wrong, once Daizhou is lost, the capital will also be in danger. Now it is better to send more troops to fight a quick battle than to spend it all the time. ”

"Who in the world doesn't know that King Dingyuan is ambitious, and if he gives him 50,000 soldiers and horses, won't he put the court in danger?"

"You—" Huan was speechless for a moment.

Fu Shen's words are probably said for Zong Zhengyuan, and he used his mouth to remind the ministers of the court.

Sure enough, the hall fell into silence for a while.

Just when everyone was silent, Zong Zhengche suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, please order to bring 50,000 soldiers and horses to Daizhou to help King Dingyuan repel the enemy army."

"No." An elderly military general immediately stood up against it, "Your Highness, you are the crown prince of my great glory and the only son of the first emperor, how can you go to the battlefield?" ”

"What General Lin said is extremely true, please think twice, Your Highness."

"Please think twice, Your Highness!"

Looking at the ministers kneeling down one after another in the hall, Huan Ci secretly glanced at the man on the dragon chair.

These courtiers who are extremely blood-heavy are afraid that they don't block him on weekdays. Now it seems that the position of the crown prince is not so easy to grab.

The ministers knelt for the most part, and there was almost no sound in the hall.

Huan Ci set his eyes on Zong Zhengche, wondering how he would respond, but unexpectedly, Zong Zhengyuan took the first step to speak.

"Che'er, what everyone said is very true. You are the crown prince of my great glory, and you must not leave the capital easily. ”

"Wechen is willing to lead the troops to Daizhou."

A man in his forties suddenly appeared in the ranks.

"General Mo is indeed the most suitable candidate."

The crowd began to talk about it.

Huan Ci glanced back curiously at the man surnamed Mo.

As far as she knows, there is a military general surnamed Mo in Beijing, and this person is also the right age, so this person is the well-known Modi.

The ministers of the court and the central government debated for a long time, and finally decided that Modi was the main general, with 30,000 troops, and set off for the northwest early tomorrow morning.

Huan Ci has been holding out for a few days, and now things are progressing, although it is not satisfactory, but she can finally catch her breath.

Her purpose was to say that Zong Zhengyuan would send troops, and her father had already taken measures for the rest.

After refusing Zong Zhengyuan's invitation to keep her in the palace, Huan Ci walked out of the palace exhausted.

The wound on her shoulder ached faintly, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Unable to hold it anymore, she stopped and gasped for breath, holding her hands on the wall in front of her.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed her from behind.

"What's wrong with you?" Zong Zheng's voice sounded overhead.

Huan Ci shook his head: "It's just a recurrence of an old injury, it's not a big deal." ”

"Let's go, I'll send you back."

The eunuch standing beside Zong Zhengche stepped forward to support her with great eyes.

Huan Ci was already dizzy, and he just wanted to go back quickly, where could he take care of anything else, so he followed him obediently.

Just as the two of them were about to step into the carriage, a eunuch hurried over.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty invites you to go to the Lingwu Palace."

Zong Zhengche's face changed.

"Liu Zhun, you send the county lord back first." He said to the eunuch.

"Your Highness, you can't have no one around you." Liu Zhun shouted in a low voice.

He said yes. I'm fine, just rest for a while. Your Highness, hurry up, don't make Your Majesty wait long. Huan Ci said softly.

"How can this work?" Zong Zhengche's expression was serious.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on his tense face.

Huan Ci followed his gaze and saw Fu Shen coming from not far away.
