Please, let me be a fool

You Qi heard that His Majesty summoned his father into the palace.

I understand that this matter is very serious.

Originally, Zhao Lingying was worried that her elder brother might be blamed by the courtiers for failing to defend the northern border.Even if he is afraid of his father and dare not open his mouth, but it is not guaranteed that he will meet with his Majesty.

Now this kind of worry seems to be becoming a reality, so I am naturally very anxious.

So after getting the news, she has been guarding in front of Dan's room.

After all, the Royal Study Room, now I can't enter it.

I also know that His Majesty is after dealing with the matter.

Will come directly to Dan room to wait.

At the same time, he also sent his maids to inquire about the news.

"Your Majesty, the imperial study is an important place, and the slaves dare not get too close, so the slaves really don't know when His Majesty will come back." At this time, Cui Guo who was next to him said.

If it was a normal time, it would still be possible for him to get something out of the mouths of other court ladies and eunuchs.

It's just that in the imperial study room, all the ministers of the imperial court are gathered together.

Even if you give her ten guts, she doesn't dare to say more.

"I see."

Zhao Lingying said: "I just hope that nothing will happen in the northern border."

Even though she said that, the worry in her eyes did not decrease in the slightest.

The longer the meeting, the bigger the matter, not to mention it's been such a long time...

"Why is Aifei here?"

However, just when Zhao Lingying was anxious.

Wei Yunyi also came in a dragon chariot, looking at the other party outside the alchemy room, he couldn't help being a little curious.

But soon I figured it out, Concubine Ying was most likely because of the northern border, to be precise, she cared about her elder brother.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Lingying's eyes lit up when she saw the person coming, and she walked forward without any hesitation, but she did not forget to salute and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

Even if you are anxious, but the more you are at this time, the more you have to hold your breath.

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi stepped down from the dragon chariot, helped him up, and said with a soft smile: "My concubine must be here for the Great General Zhenbei, right?"

"Your Majesty is wise, my concubine..." Zhao Lingying said immediately, ready to ask what happened.

But suddenly realized that she is a harem concubine, and there are some things that cannot be said directly.

So for a while, I didn't know how to speak.

Looking at Concubine Ying anxiously.

But Wei Yunyi didn't hold back, and immediately told everything that happened in the northern border.

And when Zhao Lingying heard that the Ten Divisions of the Grassland had gathered 20 troops to approach Zhenbei Pass, and that her brother had failed to resist and suffered losses, she panicked for a moment.

Sure enough, something happened, and it was more serious than imagined.

How long has it been since the grassland has assembled an army of 20?

After all, she came from Shenwuhou Mansion.

Even without military experience.

But under the influence of his ears and eyes, he also knew what this meant. It was the northern border, and a big war was about to break out.

In particular, my brother lost the first battle and returned to Zhenbei Pass. This is a felony!

Immediately, Zhao Lingying knelt down again, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it is true that my brother lost the battle, but please remember that my brother has guarded the northern border for many years and has done his duty. Please forgive me."

"The concubine believes that as long as His Majesty gives my brother a chance, he will surely realize his shame and be brave enough to resist the grassland army."

This is not wrong. In the original book, Zhao Jiguang did block this crisis.

However, Wei Yunyi didn't care about this.

Just because I heard Concubine Ying's words.

Can't help but laugh.

I understand that the other party is afraid that I will be angry because of this matter, and will blame my brother-in-law.

Of course, it's normal to have this kind of thinking. If it were another emperor, he would definitely be angry.

But Wei Yunyi was not like this, so he helped the other party up and smiled: "My concubine, there is no need to worry, I understand that you are worried about brother, I have already arranged for the northern border, and I will let your father, Marquis Shenwu, be in charge. Restrain all northern soldiers and horses!"

"If you don't want to talk about the ten parts of the grassland, even if all the eighteen parts are released, there will be no problem."

His Majesty ordered his father to be in command?

This sentence.

Instead, Zhao Lingying was taken aback, because before entering the palace.

She understood that her Majesty was somewhat afraid of the power of the Houfu.

Especially in the first two years, he suppressed his father intentionally or unintentionally, and he didn't want his father to lead the army again.

And some time ago, he deliberately promoted the queen's father, just to balance the power of his relatives?

But how can he change his nature now, and hand over all the military power in the northern border to his father...

This... what happened?

Of course, she knew that now was not the time to think about these things.

Because His Majesty only mentioned how to solve the crisis in the northern border, but did not mention his brother.

At this point in her thoughts, Zhao Lingying couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty has decided that it is no problem for my father to take command and go to the northern border. It's just my concubine brother..."

"Don't worry, I know that General Zhenbei has guarded the northern border for many years, and he has not made any credit, but also hard work." Wei Yunyi smiled and said: "However, now I can't be called General Zhenbei, but the Commander-in-Chief of Haizhou!"

and many more?

Commander-in-Chief of Haizhou?

Isn't that the top general who restrained the Wei navy?

Why did His Majesty let his elder brother take charge of the navy?

Zhao Lingying couldn't turn the corner, but she soon realized it.

Brother this position.

In terms of rank, it is only one level behind the Great General.

This means that the punishment given by His Majesty is equivalent to not having...

You know, although the elder brother's defeat this time is not a big one, it is not the first time, but His Majesty did not get angry, even if the crime was conceded, it would be painless...

Could it be that there is another meaning in it?

Zhao Lingying couldn't figure it out, but she still decided to probe Wei Yunyi's mind, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not possible? Brother, after all, I lost this battle and caused my Great Wei to suffer losses. Please, Your Majesty, resign!"

I heard the plea, and let it go lightly.

But I haven't heard anything serious.

Cuiguo next to him lowered his head and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Is my mother thinking that the general is not miserable enough, and is she going to give him another kick?

You are the general's own sister.

Next to him, Wei Yunyi was also a little speechless, what kind of people are around him.

In the past, there was a brother-in-law boasting, and now there is Concubine Ying speaking ill of her brother...

But he actually understood that the other party was testing his mind.

After all, as an emperor, such a situation is normal.

And Wei Yunyi knew it in his heart.

My brother-in-law is also loyal and patriotic, and will become a famous general in the future, but this time it happened suddenly.

Therefore, it is even more impossible to impose heavy penalties.

Immediately, Wei Yunyi paused for a moment, and said solemnly: "My concubine's words are too serious. A temporary loss does not mean that it will be like this forever. Although your brother is at fault, it is also your concubine's elder brother, the uncle of the country. So even if he made a mistake, I still have to protect him."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Lingying was stunned, as if she understood another meaning from that sentence.

Is it because of me that Your Majesty chose not to offend my elder brother?

Otherwise, how could you say such a sentence?

Yes, it must be so.

Because in her memory.

His Majesty never said a word to deceive himself.

Thinking about it, Zhao Lingying couldn't help being moved again.

Because she thought of this period of time, because there were more and more memorials, it became more and more troublesome to deal with, so she felt a little slack.

But now, His Majesty has sincere feelings for him, and for his own sake, he chooses not to offend his brother.

Involuntarily, Zhao Lingying felt ashamed.

I began to swear in my heart.

No matter how troublesome the memorial to be dealt with in the future, I must work harder and not have any complaints to repay His Majesty's sincere love!

Of course, she only decided these words secretly in her heart, without showing it on her face, and then said softly: "Concubine, thank you for your kindness!"

Wei Yunyi nodded in relief, then held the other person's hand, and said: "Okay, you don't need to worry about this matter, go to bed and rest, I will see you at night."

Of course, Zhao Lingying would not say much about this, and bowed slightly: "The concubine has resigned."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and slowly backed away from the alchemy room.

And Wei Yunyi.

This is involuntarily sighed.

Even if he handed over the memorial to the other party, he is still busy enough every day.

Shaking his head slightly, he didn't think too much, and continued to start his alchemy career.

"Your Majesty, you scared the servants to death just now."

On the way back to the bedroom, Cuiguo stood beside her and said involuntarily: "You are not afraid, did His Majesty really listen to your words and severely punish the general?"

Obviously, she was still afraid of what she just said.

"If Your Majesty is really responsible for elder brother, I will feel much more at ease."

Beside, Zhao Lingying thought for a while, and continued: "I'm afraid. Your Majesty just gave some light punishments to stabilize the morale of the army because of the tight war in the northern border and because father is about to take command of the army."

"Waiting for my father to settle the war in the northern border, and then start to settle accounts after autumn, that's the real danger."

Her worries were not without reason.

Emperors have always paid attention to the art of checks and balances.

For some people and certain things, it seems that they don't care, but they are actually remembered in their hearts.

And when the time is right and the emperor doesn't want to bear it anymore, that person's life will be over.

"Ah?" Cui Guo was startled, and couldn't help but said: "Then according to what your mother said, isn't the general very dangerous in the future?"

"No." Zhao Lingying shook her head and continued: "Just now I have understood His Majesty's thoughts. Your Majesty loves me in his heart and will not choose to sin against my brother. The matter of the northern border is over."

Having said that, a smile could not help appearing on her face.

After all, isn't His Majesty's words already obvious?

"So it is."

Cui Guo behind him nodded, as if he still didn't understand why.

But soon, she realized another problem, and she couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, let the general be the commander-in-chief of Haizhou, isn't that a navy division? The general learned it under the guidance of Lord Hou. It has always been a method of fighting against grassland tribes."

"Wouldn't it be dangerous to suddenly take charge of the Navy in case pirates attack?"
