   Chapter 330 Edge (2)

   After hearing this, Luo Shangshu felt chills in his heart.

   Luo Shangshu's expression also became solemn. He himself is not selfish, just because the capital is too important, so he does not support sending out all elite soldiers.

   But what Lu Mingyu said is also very reasonable.

  In case the bandits make a lot of trouble, it will roll more and more like a snowball, there will be thirty or forty thousand. What is the use of the imperial court slowly sending 10,000 soldiers there?

   "Luo Shangshu and Qiao Ge know better than anyone else about the calamity of the bandits." Lu Mingyu's voice sounded again: "The most important thing is to pacify the chaos as soon as possible and appease the chaotic people."

   "I am most afraid that the chaos will not be pacified in time, and the chaotic people will grow, and they will come all the way to the capital. It will be too late to regret it by then."

   The situation depicted by Lu Mingyu is truly terrifying.

   The face of the fourth prince also changed, and he couldn't help but interject: "The Crown Princess said very much. I also thought that troops should be sent to pacify the chaos earlier."

   Actually, the Fourth Prince has always supported sending elite soldiers there. However, the prince's words have no weight, and the old Luo Shangshu of Qiaoge is very insistent, so that there is no dispute over this matter.

Queen Qiao remained silent until she finally opened her mouth: "Bengong doesn't know how to use troops. However, now that the emperor is leading troops and the whole country is on an expedition, Dawei must not cause civil unrest again. Bengong also thinks that it is better to stop fighting early. for good."

  Luo Shangshu was finally shaken and looked at Elder Qiao Ge.

  Elder Qiao Ge's expression changed and he said after a while: "All the elite troops are out, what if there is something wrong in the capital?"

Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed, and he asked back: "The city wall is the highest and thickest in the capital. There are 20,000 soldiers guarding the city. The equipment and weapons are complete, and the food is enough for the people of the capital to eat for a year. Even if you recruit strong men, you can make up tens of thousands of people. Even if some people take the opportunity to make trouble, can’t they defend the capital?”

   Old Qiao Ge was speechless.

Lu Mingyu added: "In this world, there is no 100% certainty. Everything has an accident, and there are contingency. It's just a matter of weighing and making a choice. This matter cannot be delayed any longer, it has to be decided today. According to the regulations, troops must be dispatched within two days."

  The fourth prince opened his mouth to agree: "The Crown Princess is right."

   Queen Qiao also agreed: "Then send troops as soon as possible!"

Qiao Ge Lao finally lost the match, and reluctantly responded: "Since the Empress and the Fourth Prince both agree, the old minister has nothing to say. However, how many elite soldiers should be sent? Also, who should be the main general? ?"

  Lu Mingyu said lightly: "For specific matters, wait for Yao Shangshu from the Ministry of War to come, and then discuss it!"

  Luo Shangshu sighed in relief.

  Princess doesn't mean to take power! Also, it is up to the Ministry of War who to send the main general. Yao Shangshu should have already thought about it.

   Everyone did not speak, and the Wenhua Hall suddenly fell silent.

  The atmosphere is a little stagnant.

Queen Qiao calmed down and comforted Elder Qiao with a gentle voice: "Elder Qiao is loyal and always thinks about Wei, and Ben Gong understands it. It's just that we can't delay the pacification, so we have to send troops earlier. Mrs Lu didn't mean it either. For Qiao Ge Lao, Qiao Ge Lao don't mind."

   Queen Qiao personally came forward to smooth things out, and Qiao Ge couldn't help but appreciate it, and his voice softened a lot: "Empress Empress, rest assured, if the old minister doesn't even have this kind of mind, he is not worthy of being the first and second assistant."

  Lu Mingyu also laughed: "Yeah, don't worry about my mother. I told my mother before I came here that Qiao Ge has never been selfish and will never be brooding about this."

   Then, with a smile, he gave a junior salute: "I'm impatient, I speak directly, and I won't turn around. There was something offensive just now, don't take it to heart, Qiao Ge."

   This ability to turn his face like a book opened the eyes of the Fourth Prince.

   I used to think that the second sister-in-law was domineering and powerful, but now I know that the second sister-in-law has the ability to change her face at any time.

  Luo Shangshu stroked his beard, thinking that it is not wrong for you to lose today, Mr. Qiao Ge.

  Old Qiao Ge looked complicated, and slightly avoided the ceremony: "The princess said that, it really smashed the old minister."

   So far, the atmosphere has finally eased up.

   At this moment, the maid came in to report: "Yao Shangshu and other five ministers have an audience!"

   The other five ministers rushed into the palace together. Queen Qiao quickly looked at Lu Mingyu and said, "Announce them to come in!"

  …

  Yao Shangshu and the other five people hurried into the palace in a hurry. They walked fast without stopping, and the weather in early spring was full of sweat. Before I could wipe it, I entered the Wenhua Hall.

   Then, the ministers were also taken aback by the appearance of Lu Mingyu.

  The emperor was not there, and there were endless disputes over the affairs of the court. The empress was excusable. Why did the princess come along?

  Lu Mingyu changed his sharpness from a moment ago, and his tone was gentle: "I will wait for my mother to come here, and I will not talk too much. You just discuss matters, and you don't need to worry about me here."

  Yao Shangshu and others calmed down and bowed to Queen Qiao first.

Queen Qiao already had an idea in her mind, so she didn't panic at this time: "Let's all be pacified! There was a dispute in the court due to the civil unrest, and the fourth prince was worried and had already reported to this palace. This palace called you here today, that is, We need to discuss a charter and send troops to quell the chaos as soon as possible."

   As soon as these words came out, Yao Shangshu was secretly happy.

   Obedience. It can be seen that Queen Qiao has persuaded Qiao Ge Lao Luo Shangshu.

Sure enough, Qiao Ge opened his mouth again, and the tone of the conversation turned around: "What the Queen said is very true. Yao Shangshu said that to pacify the chaos as soon as possible, how many elite soldiers should be sent? Also, who is suitable to be the leader in the court? "

  Yao Shangshu really thought about it for a long time, and immediately said: "Quick battle, quick decision, mobilize 20,000 Guards and 10,000 defenders, with General Sun as the main general, immediately send troops to quell the chaos."

  General Sun is also a veteran. When Emperor Yongjia raised his army, General Sun was a fierce general under Emperor Yongjia, who was exceptionally brave and made numerous military exploits. Later, as I got older, I seldom led troops. However, in terms of rich combat experience, no one can match.

   As a result, there are only 10,000 guards and 10,000 defenders left in the capital.

Before Mr. Qiao Ge could frown, Yang Shangshu of the Criminal Department took over the words: "From today, the capital will be under curfew and patrols will be strengthened. In addition, four city gates will be closed, leaving only two city gates. In this way, guard the city. Even fewer soldiers can support it.”

   Yao Shangshu took another look at the Fourth Prince.

   The fourth prince was so blessed that he immediately volunteered: "I will be the military governor, and I will accompany the army to pacify the chaos!"

   Finally took some responsibility.

   At this time, as a prince, you should really stand up. In this way, it can also quickly settle down.

   Yao Shangshu was satisfied, he opened his mouth and asked the Ministry of Household Secretary: "May the Ministry of Household prepare food and grass within two days?"

  Noble Books will be bald on the top of his head, and his words are sonorous and powerful: "Yes!"

   Everyone agreed, and there was nothing more to say.

   Queen Qiao stretched her brows: "Okay, that's it."
