Chapter 1169： Offense is the best defense!

Chapter 1169 Offense is the best defense!

Jiayin nodded vigorously and his eye circles were red.

“Grandma, that’s right, that’s right! My father and my adoptive father won the battle! We took Jiangbei back from the barbarians! When we have the opportunity in the future, we can go back to our hometown to see it.”

"It's not important. Just wish your father and Mr. Hou came back safely!" Mrs. Li wiped away her tears. "I have been looking forward to it for more than ten years. I finally won and I don't have to fight anymore!"

Outside the carriage, the people were getting more and more excited and started running around telling each other.

People from all over Xindu seemed to have poured out. Regardless of whether they were relatives or friends, whether they knew each other or not, they all cheered together and shared the joy!

Besides, the horse team announcing the good news entered the palace all the way, and the news was quickly delivered to the imperial study.

The emperor and several important ministers were there. When they suddenly heard the good news, the important ministers couldn't help but stand up and were extremely happy.

The northern expedition every year was really a big test and a big burden for Tianwu.

But we have to march north, because offense is the best defense!

The stability of Jiangnan is all due to the Northern Expedition!

Now, the country has been unified, the northern border has been recaptured, and the barbarians have been driven out of Tianwu. This has completely eliminated the major worry.

“Peace and peace in the world are just around the corner!”

“Great! Great! The Northern Expedition is finally victorious!”

The important ministers shouted one after another, and some people wanted to lift their robes and kneel down, shouting "Long Live the Mountain" and congratulations.

As a result, the emperor looked a little strange.

Logically speaking, this is a great joy.

But the emperor's expression was dull, not at all happy, as if the victory of the Northern Expedition was a trivial matter.

No, look carefully, there is even a hint of anger in the emperor's eyes...

Angry? !

The important ministers seemed to have had a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, and all their enthusiasm and surprise were extinguished in an instant.

If they were fools, they would not be in this position.

They had some guesses about the emperor's treatment of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

Now that the Northern Expedition has achieved complete victory and the country is unified, it is a happy event for the whole world.

But only for the emperor, not...

Because the credit belongs to the Marquis of Xinting and the Northern Expeditionary Army, but not to the Emperor, the Supreme One in Heavenly Martial Arts!

The important ministers all had low eyebrows and did not dare to speak any more.

The emperor, on the other hand, paused for a while and said slowly, "Such a great victory is a great joy! The Northern Expeditionary Army lacks food and grass, and the barbarians are ferocious, but it is not easy to achieve such a great victory."

The important ministers all nodded and responded weakly.

Sure enough, the emperor's next sentence was, "I asked Marquis Xinting to postpone the decisive battle for the sake of safety. Unexpectedly, he still disobeyed the order and attacked. This is a victory. If there were any mistakes, what I heard now would be the defeat of the Northern Expedition." News!”

Everyone lowered their heads by another three points.

Fortunately, the prince came back in a hurry at this time.

He only glanced at everyone, then stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Father, you didn't get a good rest last night, and you have to see your mother off for the last time tomorrow. Why don't you rest early! Nothing will happen to your dragon body. important!"

Perhaps he was pleased with his son's concern, and the emperor's face improved a little, and he waved his hands with everyone.

The important ministers quickly retreated as if they had been pardoned.

The prince helped the emperor to the back hall to rest, but the emperor did not leave him to talk. He directly made an excuse and instructs the prince to deal with it.

As soon as the prince left the door, the emperor smashed the jade paperweight in his hand!

“Cousin, I’m going to die, do you still want to fight with me for these false reputations?

“Aren’t you loyal? Why can’t you let me go!

"I just want to go to Jiuquan with the achievement of unifying the mountains and rivers to explain to my ancestors, why don't you want to help me!" Anxiety, anger, and unwillingness all turned into violence, destroying everything on the desk!

Until there was deathly silence in the room, for a long time, a man in gray clothes came out from the corner and knelt down in the middle of the ground.

“Take all the hands to the Northland, go to…”

Outside the window, the wind in the dusk was still hot, and the cicadas on the tree kept singing at the top of their lungs, singing as hard as they could, as if they were complaining about someone, or taunting someone loudly!

The prince stood at the corner, hugged the little fox and stroked its smooth back hair.

The little fox squinted his eyes comfortably and yawned from time to time.

The prince was so funny that he knocked it on the head and asked, "Does your master know you are so lazy? You wish you could sleep all the time!"

The little fox chirped unconvinced, protesting something.

It's a pity that the prince didn't understand, but Manager Yi heard the sound and rushed over.

“Your Highness, please prepare a room for me. Can you go sit there for a while?”

“No, my father has given me some errands and I’m going to get busy now.” The prince smiled gently and said, “My father accidentally knocked over the table just now. I’d like to ask Mr. Yi to clean it up.”

Manager Yi bowed his head and responded quickly.

The prince then hugged the little fox and walked away...

General Manager Yi stood there for a long time before returning to the imperial study.

The emperor had calmed down and stood in front of the window, looking at the fire clouds outside, not knowing what to think.

Mr. Yi took the young eunuchs with him, quickly cleaned up the mess, and replaced it with new items.

The study immediately returned to its tidy appearance, as if it had not experienced the "storm and rain" at all just now.

Just when Manager Yi was about to bring the emperor a cup of tea, the emperor suddenly asked, "The Northern Expedition is about to end. When the Marquis comes back, what do you think he will do first?"

Mr. Yi's scalp was numb, but there was no one else in the room, so he couldn't pretend to be dead even if he wanted to.

So, he could only respond, "When I return to the emperor, of course the Marquis will come to the palace to see you and hand over the military power. This has been the case every time for so many years."

The emperor was noncommittal and responded, "Really? What about the second thing!"

Manager Yi really wished he was mute. He racked his brains and said, "Old slave guesses that he should go home and have a good rest. After all, he has been on the northern expedition for several months and has not been able to eat or sleep well..."

The emperor didn't know that he was dissatisfied with this answer. After a long silence, he actually changed his topic.

“The prince’s concubine has been locked up for a long time, right?”

Manager Yi was stunned for a moment, then remembered who the prince's concubine was, and quickly responded, "Back to the emperor, the concubine offended the princess at that time, and the prince was very angry. Therefore, he has been thinking behind closed doors and has not come out..."

"Speaking of which, there are no parents in the world who don't love their children. Even I love the third princess in every possible way. I'm afraid the Marquis of Dingbei will not be able to sleep well because he is thinking about his daughter who made mistakes. Send him a message and come to the palace when he has free time. Once, I allow him to visit the concubine."

The emperor gave a few instructions and then waved his hands, as if he really felt something.

General Manager Yi could not figure out the emperor's thoughts, so he could only act according to orders.

He stepped back and immediately asked the young **** to go find Ding Beihou to deliver the message.

By chance, Marquis Dingbei was on duty in the ward tonight, and he couldn't understand the emperor's intentions no matter how hard he tried.

But it’s not a bad thing if the emperor is merciful and allows him to visit his daughter.

He had long wanted to scold that stupid daughter.

The reason why I took the trouble to push her to the prince's side was not to let her be left out and imprisoned!

Of course, the most important thing is that he has to apologize to the emperor for not giving birth to a good daughter.

What the Emperor’s intentions are, we will know when the time comes...
