Wishful Things

The palace man moved a drum stool, and after he sat down, as expected, Emperor Qingming, who had heard the dragon case, spoke——

"The Empress Dowager's birthday is supposed to be celebrated by the whole country, but there are always some people who want to make me happy at this time..."

"I don't know what His Majesty is referring to?" Zhan Yunzhu asked in deliberation.

"The day before yesterday, there was a rush from the east to Beijing. Recently, the Li people have repeatedly harassed the people in our border town, entered the city to rob, and even killed two innocent people. It can be described as extremely rampant."

"People from the Li tribe?" Zhan Yunzhu looked thoughtful.

Liguo is in the east, but it is in the northeast, and the northern border guarded by King Yan is in the northwest area, which has been resisting the harassment of nomadic tribes such as Wala all the year round...

Although the east side is not under the jurisdiction of the King of Yan, Dongyuan City, which is adjacent to the Li Clan, is still nearly a thousand miles away from the fiefdom of the King of Yan, but if necessary, they can go to help——

Therefore, the fact that the Li clan chose to rebel at this time may not be because the king of Yan entered the capital and indirectly lost the deterrent to the Li clan...

But this must be impossible to say.

Especially in front of the emperor.

Otherwise, it is no different from promoting the prestige of King Yan in the north.

"I don't know how His Majesty plans to deal with this matter?"

Before understanding the holy will, Zhan Yunzhu chose to wait and see cautiously.

"A small country of the Li nationality dares to hurt the lives of our people in Daqing, and it was chosen on the occasion of the Queen Mother's birthday. It is clearly provocative..." Emperor Qingming's eyes turned cold: "If you don't send troops to conquer, what will be the face of my great country? If it is easily exposed this time, these rats will definitely think that our national power in Daqing is empty and everyone can be bullied. By then, I may provoke more foreigners to follow suit—"

"Your Majesty's concerns are very serious, and sending troops in time can also calm the hearts of the people on the border."

Zhan Yunzhu said: "Since we want to send troops to conquer, it should be sooner rather than later, but I don't know which general Your Majesty plans to send there?"

"I'm still thinking about this matter..." Emperor Qingming pondered, "I wanted to hand this matter over to Liu Sheng..."

Zhan Yunzhu keenly grasped the word "original thought", and then said: "But if the conquest is carried out by General Liu, the troops of the three major battalions will be mobilized. And the Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, and envoys from other countries will enter the capital one after another... I believe that at such a critical moment, in addition to the original defense inside and outside the capital, we should also reserve enough troops outside the capital for deployment at any time."

Of course, the intention of doing this is that the real thing to guard against is definitely not the so-called envoys from other countries...

"That makes sense." Emperor Qingming nodded, but he seemed quite hesitant: "The only generals I can trust are Liu Sheng and General Xu. However, General Xu is very old now, and he just fought a tough battle that took a long time last year... I originally said that I want him to rest and recuperate for a few years."

It's just that when he said those words in public, his real intention was to remind the other party to hand over the military talisman to support their lives, but Lord Zhen Guo didn't seem to understand...

But now, he took it seriously and didn't want to give General Xu any chance to lead the army.

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to General Xu, and is a model of a benevolent monarch."

After thinking for a while, Zhan Yunzhu said: "I have a plan, but I don't know if it is feasible—"

Emperor Qingming raised his eyes to look at him: "Aiqing might as well talk and listen."

"I believe that Xu's army is brave and good at fighting, and has the reputation of being invincible. It is a good choice to go to conquer and deter the Li people." Zhan Yunzhu said slowly: "But the leader of the army does not have to be General Xu..."

Emperor Qingming's eyes moved slightly: "Do you want me to ask General Xu to borrow troops?"

"Could it be that the world is the king's land, and all the soldiers of Daqing belong to His Majesty. Even if His Majesty wants to say this borrowed word, Duke Zhen would not dare to take it—"

Emperor Qingming heard a smile in his eyes.

That's right, this is what he should have gotten back a long time ago.

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

And this time, maybe it is a justifiable opportunity.

If he let Liu Sheng take over Xu Jiajun's soldier talisman, when he returned after the war, wouldn't Duke Zhen dare to ask him for it?

Moreover, King Yan will enter the capital in two or three days. King Yan, Duke Zhen, Xu Jiajun...

Just putting these things together and thinking about them makes people feel uneasy...

But... what if Duke Zhen refuses to agree?

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

Zhan Yunzhu then said: "Duke Zhen Guo has always been loyal, if His Majesty speaks, there is absolutely no reason why this matter will not happen."

Emperor Qingming nodded slightly.

"I think so too..."

If you are loyal, how can there be any reason not to agree?

Having made up his mind, Emperor Qingming took a sip from the teacup in hand.

General... This is the last chance I will give you to prove your loyalty, you must seize it——

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zhan Yunzhu came out from the imperial study.

Stepping on the white jade steps in brand-new official boots, the young man had a faint smile on his lips.

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

But unfortunately, the Xu family is now facing a wrong path no matter how they choose.

That's good.

Only in this way can Zhao Zhao get closer to him...

The figure of the young man gradually walked away.

In the imperial study, Emperor Qingming put down the teacup and looked into the rustling cubicle.

He almost forgot that the prince was still reading those insignificant memorials in the cubicle.

But it was too quiet.

"Cheng'er—" Emperor Qingming called out.

"My son...is here."

The voice replied nervously.

Emperor Qingming frowned slightly.

Could it be that he heard the conversation he had with Zhan Yunzhu just now?

But on the surface, that conversation was not something to be taboo about, but it was just an ordinary battle arrangement—could it be...Cheng'er could hear the intention behind this conversation?

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Emperor Qingming laughed from the bottom of his heart.

If the prince has this brain, then he is not his prince.

At this time, a thin figure came out from the compartment, bowed his head and raised his hands to salute him, and said in an uneasy voice: "My son... my son just fell asleep accidentally, I don't know what the father ordered me to call my son?"

Only then did Emperor Qingming understand.

It turned out that it was because he fell asleep that he was so nervous...

He smiled and sighed, but he looked very kind: "It's nothing, since you are tired, go back and rest. I know that you have been in poor health, and you don't have to come to the imperial study every other day to accompany me to be a director. Let's take care of your body first."

Hearing the words, the boy raised his head suddenly, and there was a flash of joy in his eyes, but he seemed to realize that something was wrong, so he awkwardly covered it up, and saluted: "I understand, thank you, Father."

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

It was indeed possible before——

But now, he already has another healthy prince.

Thank you Qinghan for your reward~ Thank you for your monthly pass.
