Chapter 374

The palace man brought a drum stool. When he sat down, he heard the Qing Ming emperor after the Dragon case——

"At present, the Empress Dowager's Millennium birthday should be a matter of national celebration, but there are always some people who want to find happiness for me in Daqing at this time..."

"What does your majesty mean?" Zhan Yunzhu asked thoughtfully.

"There was a rush to Beijing in the east the day before yesterday. The Li people have repeatedly invaded and harassed the people of our border city in recent days, robbed the city, and killed two innocent people. It can be said that it is extremely rampant."

"Li people?" Zhan Yunzhu looked thoughtful.

The kingdom of Korea is in the East, but in the northeast, and the Northern Territory guarded by King Yan is in the northwest, which can resist the harassment of nomads such as warla all year round

Although the East is not under the jurisdiction of the king of Yan, and the Dongyuan city adjacent to the Li nationality is nearly a thousand miles away from the fief of the king of Yan, you can go to the rescue if necessary——

Therefore, the reason why the Li nationality chose to make trouble at this time may not be that the king of Yan entered Beijing and indirectly lost a deterrent to the Li nationality

But this must not be said.

Especially in front of the emperor.

Otherwise, it would be the same as publicizing the prestige of King Yan in the north.

"I wonder how your majesty intends to deal with this?"

Before understanding the holy meaning, Zhan Yunzhu chose to watch carefully.

"Just a small country of Li nationality, dare to hurt the lives of our people in Daqing, and it is clearly a deliberate provocation to choose on the occasion of the Empress Dowager's birthday..." emperor Qingming's eyes were cold: "If we don't send troops to levy, how can we face a great country? If we expose it easily this time, it will certainly make these rats think that our national strength in Daqing is empty and everyone can be bullied. At that time, I'm afraid more foreign races will follow suit -"

"Your Majesty is very worried, and sending troops in time can also reassure the people on the border."

Zhan Yunzhu said, "since you want to send troops for conscription, it's better early than late. I just don't know which general your majesty plans to send?"

"I'm still thinking about it..." emperor Qingming thought: "I wanted to give it to Liu Sheng..."

Zhan Yunzhu keenly caught the word "Ben Xiang", so he said: "but if General Liu conquers, he will mobilize the troops of the three battalions. The Empress Dowager's birthday is coming, and envoys from other countries have come to Beijing one after another... Wei Chen believes that at this juncture, in addition to the existing defense inside and outside the capital, we should also leave enough troops outside the capital so that they can be called at any time."

Of course, the intention of doing so is that the so-called envoys of other countries can't be the real defense

"That's reasonable." emperor Qingming nodded, but seemed rather hesitant: "but the generals I can trust are only Liu Sheng and General Xu. However, General Xu is now old and just fought a long-time hard battle last year... I said I would let him rest and recuperate for several years."

But at that time, he said such words in public. His real intention was to remind the other party to hand over the military talisman for the rest of his life. However, the Duke of Zhenguo didn't seem to understand

Now, he is serious and doesn't want to give general Xu any chance to lead the army.

"Your Majesty sympathizes with General Xu. He is a model of benevolence."

After thinking for a moment, Zhan Yunzhu said, "I have a plan, but I don't know whether it is feasible -"

Emperor Qingming raised his eyes to him: "Aiqing, you might as well tell me."

"I think Xu's army is brave and good at fighting, and has an invincible reputation. It's a good choice to go to conquer and deter the Li family." Zhan Yunzhu said slowly: "but the leader is not general Xu..."

Emperor Qingming's eyes moved: "do you want me to borrow troops with General Xu?"

"Is it the king's land that is the greatest in the world? All the soldiers in Daqing belong to your majesty. Even if your majesty is willing to say, I'm afraid the Duke of Zhenguo dare not answer --"

Emperor Qingming heard a smile at the bottom of his eyes.

Yes, this is what he should have taken back.

Xu Jiajun, it's time to change your surname——

This time, it may be a legitimate opportunity.

If he asks Liu Sheng to take over Xu Jiajun's amulet, will the Duke of Zhenguo dare to ask him for it when he returns from the war?

And King Yan will enter Beijing in two or three days. King Yan, the Duke of the town, Xu Jiajun

These things, just put them in one place and think about it, make people feel uneasy

But... What if the Duke of Zhenguo refuses to agree?

Thinking of this possibility, Emperor Qingming narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhan Yunzhu then said, "the Duke of Zhenguo has always been loyal. If your majesty speaks, there is no reason for this."

Emperor Qingming nodded slightly.

"I think so..."

If you are loyal, how can you refuse?

Determined, Emperor Qingming took a sip of the tea at hand.

General... This is the last chance I give you to prove your loyalty. You must grasp it——

Half an hour later, Zhan Yunzhu just walked out of the imperial study.

A cluster of new official boots stepped over the white jade steps, and the young man's mouth was filled with a faint smile.

At this time, it was finally time for the Xu family to make a choice.

But unfortunately, what is now in front of the Xu family is a wrong way.

That's good.

So that Zhaozhao can be closer to him

The young man's back is gradually moving away.

In the imperial library, Emperor Qingming put down the tea lamp and looked into the rustling compartment.

He almost forgot that the prince was still reading those unimportant memorials in the compartment.

But it's too quiet.

"Sheng'er -" emperor Qingming shouted.

"My son... Yes."

The voice answered nervously.

Emperor Qingming frowned slightly.

Didn't you hear his conversation with Zhan Yunzhu just now?

But on the surface, the conversation was not taboo, but it was just an ordinary battle arrangement - could... Sheng'er hear the intention behind the conversation?

As soon as the idea appeared in his mind, Emperor Qingming smiled at the bottom of his heart.

If the prince had this brain, he would not be his prince.

At this time, a thin figure came out of the compartment, bowed his head and raised his hand to salute him. In an uneasy voice, he said, "my son... My son fell asleep just now. I don't know what my father told my son?"

Emperor Qingming knew it.

It was because I fell asleep that I was so nervous

He smiled and sighed, but seemed particularly kind: "nothing. Since you are sleepy, go back and have a rest. I know you are always in bad health. In the future, you don't have to come to the imperial study to accompany my director every other day, and keep your body well first."

The boy suddenly raised his head when he heard the speech. There was a flash of joy in his eyes, but he seemed to realize that it was wrong, so he clumsily covered it up and saluted: "my son knows. Thank you, father and Emperor."

Emperor Qingming smiled and was not angry at the other party's lack of progress.

It did happen before——

But now he has another healthy prince.
