A quarter of an hour later, Princess Yongning returned to the palace without receiving any promise from Luo Chong. Regarding her full expectations, Luo Chong just coped with the sentence 'Let's see, I haven't thought about it yet'.

Luo Chong wasn't perfunctory, he just couldn't bear to hit her, at least there was no need to make her so desperate at this stage.

She can't save the Jin Dynasty, and it's not worth saving, as a woman, she should only live for herself.

That night, the second son of Yuan, who was in a coma, was found lying on the grass in the back garden by the servants.

Yuan Ergongzi was woken up by his father himself with cold water, opened his eyes and stared around, his face showed an extremely shocked expression, and then he hugged his father's legs and began to cry.

"It's not a dream, is it?"

"Was it a dream before, or is it a dream now?"

"If it's a dream at the moment, don't let me wake up again!"

Yuan Ergongzi cried and said something that others couldn't understand, in fact, he was still in a trance, and he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming in the past few days on the island, or whether the scene of returning home at this moment was in a dream.

Syllable!

When he was almost crying, Lord Yuan endured his distress and gave him a shaved ear, which immediately stunned him.

Looking at his son, who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, Lord Yuan said in a low voice: "Son, you are home, this is not a dream." I went to the emperor for my father and pushed down the marriage, so you can come back!"

"Marriage?"

Yuan Ergongzi was excited, and finally confirmed: "It's really for that marriage, I have been pondering on the island repeatedly in the past few days, and the most suspicious one is Princess Yongning...... How can she do this to me, if she doesn't want to, how can she do this to me?"

Master Yuan turned around to stop the child's mother's crying and questioning, and asked his son, "What have they done to you in the past few days?"

"But there was nothing else, so they left me on an uninhabited island......

Yuan Ergongzi kept his sanity as much as possible, and told in detail: "Somehow, when I opened my eyes, I was an island in the vast sea. Father, don't scold me for being confused, at first I couldn't believe it, the capital is inland, and the nearest island must be more than a thousand miles away, how could I be sent to a lonely island unconsciously......"

Lord Yuan was gloomy and silent, and then he understood, what was going on with this dream and that dream that his son just said, if it was himself, he would go from his home in the capital to a certain island as soon as he opened his eyes, and he would definitely find it unacceptable and extremely unreal.

"What a capability!"

When the second prince finished telling all the experiences of the past few days, Lord Yuan sighed: "The emperor just canceled the marriage during the day, and he can send you back from overseas at night, it is simply the ability to fly away from the sky, can the martial arts grandmaster do it?"

"My father said that from the time the marriage was cancelled to the time I was sent back, there was only ...... time Just a few hours?"

The second son didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and he had no concept of time, and when he heard his father say this, he said: "Impossible, this is impossible, my son is also a person who practices martial arts, although he has not seen the ability of the martial arts grandmaster, he has also heard that he has crossed at least a thousand miles in a few hours, and he has to row a boat to cross the vast sea, which ...... It's impossible, no one can do it!"

"Yes!"

Lord Yuan nodded solemnly: "This means that Luo Dong deliberately used this to deter us, what others can't do, he can do it." This also includes the easy removal of my Yuan's head. ”

He thought it was very reasonable, but he didn't know that he had really wronged Luo Chong, Luo Chong didn't play with so much at all, he was just too lazy to do any tricks, and it was just over if he threw Yuan Ergongzi in the small universe casually.

But this kind of lazy tricks has become a big trick that is difficult to figure out in the eyes of others.

Then I heard Yuan Ergongzi pleading sadly to his mother: "Mother, get me something to eat, I'm hungry, I'm about to starve to death......"

"Hey, hey, good, good. ”

Mother Yuan shed tears and hurriedly ordered her subordinates to go to the kitchen to eat something, and Lord Yuan had an extra heart, and gave another order: Invite the doctor first, give the child a number of pulses, and see what he can and can't eat.

In short, Yuan Ergongzi had already sworn in his heart that he couldn't marry any princess if he was killed, and he would rather marry a fisherman's daughter, at least he would fish......

One day later, the cancellation of the marriage between Princess Yongning and Yuan Ergongzi did not have much repercussions in the court, because something that was countless times stricter than this had finally happened.

The military department received military information from several directions: the Qingyuan cavalry really began to gather in the capital from all directions, and the number was still about 20,000. The nearly 1,000 people Luo Dong had killed before could not break their bones, and it was obvious that the Qingyuan cavalry also had an obvious sense of revenge.

This is not the strictest, there are also military reports from the northern Xinjiang side at the same time, saying that the Qingyuan Army has an infantry corps of 50,000 people has also bypassed the border and invaded the territory of the Jin Dynasty. It is still difficult to determine whether they are in order to meet the cavalry of 20,000 people, or the vanguard army of the Qingyuan Kingdom.

Early in the morning, two military newspapers were placed in front of the emperor at the same time, and the ministers in the court were all panicked, who could care about the marriage of a princess.

"It's really coming, it's really coming, how can this be good?"

The emperor was high up, but it was difficult to sit still on the dragon chair, and he asked repeatedly: "Does the Zhongqing family have a good plan?"

Worried about this day and night, it really came, but it was even more terrible than imagined, and even more strict.

"Call back!"

There are still more courageous ministers who stand up and say: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, their infantry and cavalry add up to only 100,000, and more than 200,000 troops have been assembled on this side of the capital, and the enemy will be beaten back." Other than that, there's no better way!"

Nonsense!

The other ministers all cursed in their hearts: Who doesn't know that the best way to beat the enemy back, the key is, can you beat it?

The example of the 350,000 Qingyuan army defeating our Jin Dynasty's 100,000 army head-on is not uncommon in the past ten years, the Qingyuan army is getting stronger and stronger, we are getting weaker and weaker, how to fight, who dares to fight them?

Except for Mu Hanshan, the god of war in Western Xinjiang, who dares to fight them?

At this time, these ministers remembered Mu Hanshan, but they didn't know how many people were willing to stand up and help him speak a few months ago when the emperor expressed his dissatisfaction with Mu Hanshan in the court.

"Isn't there another Luo Dong?"

The court was silent for a while, and the person who stood up and mentioned Luo Dong's name was actually Lord Yuan of the Household Department.

Lord Yuan's mind is not complicated, it is nothing more than that: Luo Dong Xiao'er, if you have the ability, go and eliminate the disaster for us, if you don't have the ability, then die on the battlefield.

Even if he himself is strong in martial arts and can't die, he can be judged as a defeated general, and he can find a reason to remove him from all official positions.

As for whether Luo Chong can make great achievements and further rise, Lord Yuan has already thought about it: as the so-called grievances should be resolved rather than settled, if he can really surpass the generation of strongmen in Mu Hanshan, in this troubled time, there is no need to offend him further, just find a way to befriend him, anyway, the second son is still alive, and it is not a deep hatred that cannot be resolved.

Lord Yuan has been in the officialdom for many years, and he has long since lost those bad things that are self-willed, has no eternal friends, and no eternal enemies, and everything should be treated as appropriate.

"Luo Dong?"

Regarding Lord Yuan's suggestion, some ministers stood up and questioned: "This person is only twenty years old, and he is only a fourth-rank general at present, even if he has great potential and good qualifications, he is not enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility now." How important is it to defend the capital, how can you put all your hope on him?"

That's what I said. ”

Lord Yuan spread his hands to his colleagues, and saluted respectfully to the emperor: "Your Majesty forgives me, Weichen doesn't understand military affairs, but I heard that General Luo has a lot of means to deal with the Qingyuan Army, and he has never suffered a loss from the Qingyuan Army, but regards the head of the Qingyuan Army as a ladder, and he was promoted from a low-level soldier to a four-rank general in less than a year......

I won't say anything superfluous, and I'll stop it.

In this way, he won a better evaluation from the emperor, and the emperor must be thinking in his heart: Look at it, Yuan Aiqing is really a great loyal minister, Luo Dong kidnapped his son, not only did he hold a grudge, but he would still recommend him if he had this opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Distinguish between public and private, repay grievances with virtue, everything will put my safety and my country in the first place, and I will not live up to the grace I have on weekdays.

The surname Yuan can sit firmly in the position of the head of the household department for more than ten years, obviously he has understood the character of the current emperor.

However, one yard is one yard, in addition to appreciating Yuan Aiqing, the emperor's mind at the moment is also questioning: Luo Dong's kid is still tender in terms of age, experience, qualifications, etc., no matter how he can fight and kill, it is not enough to take on the heavy responsibility, let him be a vanguard general who rushes to the front......

The leading generals guarding the capital are really difficult to decide for a while, the key is that the high-ranking generals who shout at each other are all wilted at this moment, and no one dares to volunteer, because they are like a mirror in their hearts, this is a thankless drudgery, unless you can achieve a radiant victory.

With the strange character of the emperor today, it is easy to say anything in a critical moment, and you can even persuade you to do things with good words, but if it is, when the Qingyuan Army retreats and his safety is no longer concerned, then someone needs to stand up and help him carry the black pot.

In order to maintain the dignity of the emperor, he will pass on the shame and humiliation of the enemy's siege of the capital to others: it is you, who have failed to command effectively, and have failed to live up to the grace of the gods, so that the Qingyuan army is so arrogant and humiliates the dignity of everyone in the court, including me, of course!

The reason is also very powerful: if you really have the ability, you should defend the Qingyuan army thousands of miles away, and you should not let them besiege the capital. You are not worthy of your current official position, and you cannot afford to be full of expectations from me and thousands of people...... Get out, incompetent, don't let me see you again!

At that time, all official positions will be light, and the whole family, young and old, will suffer from hard labor, and female official prostitutes......

Such a lack of morality is ridiculous, and he has not done it once or twice.
