Xiao Yu quickly announced this purpose, and the prince who led the troops to the northwest this time was replaced by King Jin Xiao Zhen and King Xiao Wenyu.
As soon as I made this decree, half of the courtiers disagreed. These people were not for King Jin, but because King Ming was too young, he was only sixteen after the end of the new year, he was still a boy, and he had never marched or fought before. How can he lead troops to the northwest?
Many people ran to find Pei Shoufu and asked him to ask His Majesty to play, and it would be fine for General Feng to lead the troops to the northwest, not to let King Ming go.
Pei Shoufu did not agree with the reasoning of the courtiers. He cited the example of Ming Wang Xiao Wenyu who built a neon dress at the age of nine. Although he was young, his ability was not small.
The courtiers were suddenly dumbfounded, thinking of what Xiao Wenyu had done, building neon clothes, examining talents, and taking the ministers to Lingyang to investigate the evidence of King Pingling.
Although King Ming is young, his ability is indeed not weak.
At last the courtier fell silent.
When Lu Jiao from the Xie family heard the news, she was really worried and couldn't sleep well at night.
Xie Yunjin knew that she was worried about Sibao, so she coaxed her to say, "Don't worry about Sibao, he is very smart and will be fine."
Lu Jiao turned her head to look at Xie Yunjin and said, "I'm not worried about marching and fighting. I taught him so many things in the past, enough for him to deal with twelve nomadic tribes. What I'm worried about is the Queen and Queen Mother Zhao. Will they take the opportunity to come here?" Assassinate the Four Treasures in the barracks."
Xie Yunjin also had this level of worry, looked at Lu Jiao and said, "Before he leaves Beijing, I will tell him about these things, let him deal with it carefully, and let him take all the guards who sent him there before."
"It can only be this way."
Although Lu Jiao was worried, she still prepared a lot of things for Sibao, most of which were various medicines, and a letter to Erbao, asking Erbao to protect the younger brother and assist King Ming to make contributions in the northwest.
Sibao can make great achievements by going to the Northwest this time. If he can show his ability to coordinate one side in this big battle, he will definitely convince the soldiers in the army. Prepare.
In short, there are disadvantages to going to the northwest, but there are also advantages. Good men have ambitions everywhere, and men still have to go through big winds and waves.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Sibao led General Feng, General An and others to mobilize 60,000 troops to the northwest to support General Wang and others.
On the day when the army left, the majestic Yijia in front of the city gate, His Majesty personally led people to send the Four Treasures away from the capital.
Sibao sat high on the horse, his peach-blossom eyes were as tenacious as an orchid, he looked up and glanced at the team who came to send people off, and he felt a little disappointed that he didn't see his mother among these people.
But as soon as he looked up, he saw Lu Jiao in red waving at him on the tall city wall.
Sibao couldn't help but laughed, his heart was full of warmth, he turned around and left Beijing all the way.
Later, General Feng, General An and others bid farewell to His Majesty, turned around and mounted their horses to leave.
Xiao Yu watched Xiao Wenyu leave the capital. Thinking of his son's last sight, he subconsciously turned around and saw a red figure standing on the city wall. That person was Lu Jiao.
Looking at the red figure, Xiao Yu couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Now he really wants to know, how does it feel for Lu Jiao to know that Sibao has left Beijing? Did she ever think about stopping Sibao from going to the northwest?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yu couldn't help calling Xie Yunjin who was on the side to get into the chariot, and the chariot went all the way back to the palace.
Inside the car, Xiao Yu looked at Xie Yunjin and asked, "Is Mrs. Xie worried that Prince Ming left Beijing this time for the northwest?"
Xie Yunjin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the emperor to call him to the chariot and ask about Lu Jiao's situation. He thought for a while and said, "I'm quite worried. I haven't slept well for several nights."
Xie Yunjin told the truth, Xiao Yu nodded, yes, Lu Jiao must be worried after raising Sibao for fifteen years.
Xiao Yu asked again: "Hasn't she thought about stopping Sibao from going to the northwest?"
Xiao Yu asked this because he was thinking of the Queen. He wanted to see if a woman like Lu Jiao had the same thoughts as the Queen.
Xie Yunjin immediately vetoed it: "That's not true, she was just worried, but it would not stop King Ming from going to the northwest. Your Majesty should know about my second son's going to the northwest to serve as an army. Although Lu Jiao was worried, she would not stop her. In Sifang, men should go through more trials and tribulations before they can grow up. King Ming's trip to the northwest this time is a kind of experience for him. As the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he must grow up and shoulder his own responsibilities. "
After Xie Yunjin finished speaking, Xiao Yu remained silent. This is the kind of heart a mother should have. She would be worried, but it would not prevent her child from growing up.
Thinking about Lu Jiao, and then thinking about the queen, Xiao Yu realized that Li Yunshan was not worthy of being the mother of the Great Zhou Dynasty. King Ruojin was taught by someone like Lu Jiao, why is he so narrow-minded.
Everything is fixed!
In March of the fourth year of Yuanhui, the entire capital was noisy and lively. The small streets and alleys were crowded with people, and the teahouses and taverns on both sides of the street were also full of people. Everyone was eagerly discussing who would win the imperial examination. top three.
"I think Mr. Xie's eldest son, Xie Wenyao, is most likely to win the champion this time."
"Last year, Mr. Wen Yao was able to try to solve the Yuan. If nothing else, this year's champion should be him."
"If you don't get the number one prize, you must be Tanhua. This Mr. Xie is really handsome."
"The children in their family are all handsome, not only the eldest son, but all the children are also handsome, even King Ming who is raised in their family is also very handsome."
"By the way, it has been more than a year since King Ming led his troops to fight in the northwest."
"Yes, I heard that the morale of our army has been greatly boosted, and the victory has been reported again and again. Originally, King Ming should have returned, but he vowed to make the twelve nomadic tribes afraid of our Great Zhou and dare not harass us easily. I heard that he led his troops to kill ten The two tribes were driven three hundred miles away."
"Ming Wang is really powerful."
"It's really powerful, King Ming should be back soon."
You can say anything.
The private room upstairs was full of people, and Lu Jiao was sitting in the center of the room. Beside her were Nie Yuyao, Tian Huanzhu Baozhu and others, and several girls were sitting around them.
Among them, the most dazzling woman is not only beautiful, but also has unrestrained and unrestrained facial features. The woman beside her is gentle and elegant, with a strong sense of beauty in every gesture.
One still and one moving complement each other.
These two women were Hu Lingxue and Zhao Yuluo who were engaged to the two sons of the Xie family.
The two girls are eighteen years old this year, just like flowers.
Looking at them, Lu Jiao couldn't help feeling that she was getting old. In the blink of an eye, the children were all grown up, and she was also getting old.
Seeing Lu Jiao staring at them, Hu Lingxue and Zhao Yuluo couldn't help but ask with a coquettish smile, "Aunt Lu, what do you think we are doing?"
Lu Jiao said emotionally: "You have all grown up so much, we are old."
