Chapter 64: Sharp Teeth
"Prince Yu has arrived!" The temple of the heart is full of sounds.
I saw that Huo Jiting, the suave and windy Prince of Yu, came by stepping on the clouds.
If it is said that the emperor is talented, cold-faced, and decisive, Prince Yu is the complete opposite of the emperor. A pair of peach blossom eyes are more powerful than a woman, and her body is more thin and handsome than the emperor.
As soon as Prince Yu entered the house, he felt a serious atmosphere.
"Brother of the courtiers, see the royal brother." Prince Yu and Huo Jiheng look alike, but their temperaments are different from each other's perennial personalities, and even their faces are somewhat different.
Such a sentence is the most appropriate to describe: Huo Jiheng is like a cup of Americano, and Huo Jiting is like a latte.
"Ministers see Prince Yu!" Chang Xiaohe and Nalan Shankun were already quietly waiting on both sides.
"It's really urgent to let you come here so early, something happened to Battle!" Huo Jiheng never felt that his younger brother was cynical, he always thought that his younger brother was not in the government and the opposition, but he had no less responsibility for the world than him.
"Something happened to Battle? So what about Huaqing? Are there any dangers? Prince Yu asked anxiously.
Look, Prince Yu's first thought is also his sister Huaqing. The two of them are only half a year apart, and they often fought and played when they were young, and they were the closest.
Huo Jiheng's face was a little unpleasant, "Angqin has already gathered heavy troops, I'm afraid I have ideas." The Mongolian palace has long been besieged and there is no rumor of it, Hua Qing, I don't know her current situation. β
"Are you sure that Ang Qin will rebel?" At this time, Prince Yu changed his previous temperament of not caring about everything, and he was quite calm.
Huo Jiheng shook his head, "It's not sure yet, but as soon as this idea came out, it was already in danger." β
Prince Yu nodded, and also realized the seriousness of the matter, "Now that the army has just been withdrawn from Rongdi, the generals are inevitably weak in combat, if you want to improve morale, the royal son personally leading the troops is the best action to boost morale, and the younger brother originally intended to raise this banner." β
Huo Jiheng knew that his younger brother would always be the hole card he could use, and he thought that back then, Jiyan was the most courageous horse archery king in the entire Dajin.
Touched in his heart, Huo Jiheng patted his younger brother's shoulder, "With your words, my heart will be steady." At present, we still focus on peace, if we must send troops, then we must show our momentum and never back down!"
In order to protect the country laid down by the ancestors, both Huo Jiheng and Huo Jiting are willing to fight with their lives.
Chang Xiaohe immediately reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Yu, and the minister thinks that the most suitable way at the moment is to recruit An." The Mongolian tribes have always been the ruling area of Dajin, and many people are also rooted in the ideology of Dajin. Although Angqin has an army of 100,000 led by Agudamu in his hands, this Agudamu is ruthless, even if he is a fierce general, he is not used by King Batyr Khan. If the people's will is not willing, the military will naturally suffer. If Ang Qin is smart, he will know that recruiting peace is the best policy, and fighting a war is the next policy. β
Prince Yu listened carefully, let go of the prejudice of Gong Dou, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Chang Xiaohe's words, "Brother Huang, Brother Chen thinks what Lord Chang said still makes sense." β
Nalan Shankun mentioned slightly: "The minister thinks that even if he is recruiting An, he has to let Ang Qin know that Dajin is not something he can provoke so easily." β
Huo Jiheng glanced at Nalan Shankun approvingly, "You are all the backbone of my Dajin, you are proud and loyal. Now that the matter is urgent, Chang Xiaohe will first rectify the army to avoid the worst outcome. Chang Xiaohe received the emperor's order, bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order!"
Afterwards, Huo Jiheng looked at Nalan Shankun, "Shankun, you mobilize the entire guard battalion, unite the guards of the capital, and carefully check everyone who enters the capital and the palace, so as not to cause trouble with their secret arrows." Nalan Shankun immediately knelt down to receive the order, "Weichen received the order." β
The last is Huo Jiting, between brothers, the most confessional and honest. "Ji Ting, I need you to do something."
Leaving himself to the end, Prince Yu understood that the imperial brother had more important things for him to do. - "Brother Huang, you say. β
"I want you to go to the Mongolian Naturalization City in person to take Hua Qing back to Beijing!" Huo Jiheng has thought about it countless times in his heart, no matter what, he can't ignore Hua Qing, and no matter if she is the eldest princess, just say that Hua Qing assisted Batel to unify Mongolia with his own strength, and in the past twelve years, Batel has never had a conflict with Dajin, and Hua Qing is the hero of Dajin. β
"The younger brother understands that Hua Qing was fifteen years old and pro-Mongolian, a delicate royal woman wants to gain a firm foothold in the Mongolian royal family, you can imagine how many grievances and difficulties there will be, for twelve years, she must have been sleepless at night, stumbling everywhere. Now, if Mongolia is in danger again, you must take her back first! The more Prince Yu spoke, the more surging he became.
"Only you can understand me." Huo Jiheng sighed.
It's not just Prince Yu who understands him, it's Prince Yu who puts the country and family in the first place in his heart.
"It's just, the emperor's mother-" Huo Jiheng thought of the emperor's face, and seemed to be able to predict a possible storm.
Prince Yu smiled admittedly, "Huang Eniang must be able to understand the imperial brother." β
Having said that, it's important to make a quick decision.
"Remember! This southbound trip is to enter Mongolia in a high-profile manner, and establish prestige, letter, and royal demeanor along the way. The more the world talked about it, the more Ang Qin did not dare to defy the world's condemnation and rebel. In other words, if he has already made up his mind, he must also weigh the influence of this public opinion. On the bright side, I can only allocate 3,000 people to you for you to call. Privately, I have sent Wan Zheng to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to quietly enter the Naturalization City, if there is a crisis, no matter who it is, there will be no mercy! Huo Jiheng's eyes contracted tightly, full of determination.
Prince Yu Huo Jiting straightened up and half-knelt and arched his hand: "The younger brother will never live up to the trust of the imperial brother, and he will bring Hua Qing back to the death!" β
Listening to his younger brother's deafening military order, Huo Jiheng grabbed his hand and said solemnly: "My bottom line is that you all have to live!" β
There was only Huo Jiheng left in the Zhengxin Palace.
He sat on the huge throne, looked at the palace maids and eunuchs in a hurry, and suddenly realized that the variables of his position as the Son of Heaven were so big, and if he wanted to protect everyone he cared about, it was imperative to strengthen the country.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" Suddenly, there was a voice.
Huo Jiheng shook his spirit.
The Queen Mother was followed by a woman who was about sixteen or seventeen years old.
"My son asks the emperor to say goodbye."
Looking at the somewhat haggard eldest son, the Queen Mother asked worriedly, "How did you toss yourself to this point?" How did Li Qing serve? β
Li Qingben was behind the Queen Mother, and when he heard this, he immediately asked for sin: "The slave is guilty." β
Huo Jiheng was a little tired and said, "Is there anything wrong with the emperor's mother?" β
The Queen Mother stared and asked, "I just heard that you also summoned Ji Ting, what happened, making such a big move?" β
Huo Jiheng said coldly: "Battle has passed away, and I have sent Jiting to Mongolia. β
The Queen Mother's face changed suddenly, "What? Mongolia? β
Huo Jiheng knew that his mother had to make a fuss.
"What did you send him to Mongolia for? Didn't it say that Angqin intended to rebel? You're sending your brother into the fire pit! Listening to the emperor's scolding, Huo Jiheng said calmly: "You all know that Ang Qin intends to rebel, now is the time to fight?" I need to recruit An, and the envoys of Zhao'an this time must have enough convincing, the whole dynasty plus the emperor's relatives, except for the Ji Court has such credibility, who else? β
The Queen Mother was angry for a while, and obviously choked up: "Then you can't send him either?" What ifβin case there are three long and two short in the courtβ"
Huo Jiheng hurriedly stopped Huang Eniang's words, "Huang Eniang rest assured, since I dare to send Ji Ting, I want to ensure his safety." β
No matter how worried you are, the youngest son has already set off, and the Queen Mother has to cheer up, "The bottom line is to protect his comfort." β
Huo Jiheng nodded, "That's what I mean." β
The Queen Mother calmed down for a long time before she remembered Suo Shutong beside her and introduced to the emperor: "This is the queen's niece, Shu Tong." From today onwards, let her enter the palace to serve the queen first, and the mourning family can rest assured. β
Only then did Huo Jiheng understand what Huang Eniang meant, and he dared to find a spare tire for Suo's family.
"No need, there are so many palace maids and eunuchs, it is more than enough to take care of the queen, besides, Miss Shutong is unmarried and unmarried, so it is not appropriate to show her head like this." Huo Jiheng wanted to send Shu Tong away in a few words.
Unexpectedly, Suo Shutong said: "The emperor is sympathetic to the courtiers, and the courtiers are grateful. It's just that there are no heirs around my aunt except for the four-year-old eldest brother, and no matter how good the palace maid is, she can only serve her life, and the courtiers are not dedicated to her aunt's bed, and this time she also wants to do her filial piety. β
The Queen Mother took the opportunity to say: "What this kid Shu Tong said is exact, so it's decided, stay in the palace." Huo Jiheng really didn't expect that this little girl was not very old and had a lot of courage, "Since you have a heart, then stay in Jingren Palace and serve." β
