The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

When the news spread that Dongfang Shuo would be the chief general and lead troops to the southern battlefield with Runxue, almost everyone was shocked.

At the morning court the next day, the ministers started arguing again.

Some say that Dongfang Shuo has no talent for combat. The last time the entire army in the north was annihilated is ironclad proof of this. If he went to the battlefield in the south, tens of thousands of soldiers and countless civilians would probably die because of him.

The ministers, led by the prime minister, said: "Before the third prince went to the battlefield in the north, he had won a battle. We cannot give him another chance just because he was defeated once. He is the prince of Daqi, and it is his duty to fight for Daqi.

"Besides, the Third Prince has already issued a military order. If we cannot defend Yanzhou City, he will die as an apology. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Many people did not dare to disobey the prime minister, so they did not argue any further.

In addition, Dongfang Shuo and Runxue issued a military order, which silenced many people.

Even though many ministers were worried and did not think highly of their going to the southern battlefield, they finally chose to compromise.

As for Marquis Shi'an, whose chance to go to the southern border to fight was snatched away, before he could even get angry, Dongfang Shuo came to his house with Runxue.

Dongfang Shuo and his wife gave him two boxes of gold and six beautiful women.

What else does Zheng Xiangrong have to be angry about?

He invited Dongfang Shuo and Runxue in for tea. It was unknown what the three of them talked about, but when they parted, they all had happy smiles on their faces.

Zheng Xiangrong, in particular, was happier than getting gold and beautiful women.

Dongfang Shuo and Runxue led their troops to Yanzhou City in the southern border as quickly as possible. When the people of Daqi heard the news, they were worried, but the soldiers of Nanqi were happy and worry-free when they heard the news.

On the day off, Chu Ren took Song Ju back to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to have dinner together.

There was no one else at the table, only Chu Ren, Song Ju, Chu Heyi and the second wife. They talked about Dongfang Shuo's expedition. Chu Ren asked, "Will they win this battle?"

Almost everyone subconsciously looked at Chu Heyi.

If they were not sure of victory, they felt that Dongfang Shuo and Runxue would not have taken the initiative to go to the southern battlefield and signed a military order.

But they couldn't figure out what tactics Dongfang Shuo and Runxue, whose armies were annihilated last time, could use to defeat Nanqi's army.

Chu Heyi remained calm and answered without any hesitation: "We will win."

He continued, "In the battle of the northern border, the Third Prince's army was completely wiped out; in the Purple Palace, the couple lost miserably. It was not because they were stupid, but because they did not communicate well with each other and did not get information equally, which led to such a result.

"Now that the two of them are fighting together, and Runxue is a ruthless person who will do anything to achieve his goals, they will win this war."

Chu Ren was silent. If Dongfang Shuo and his men could win the war, it would be beneficial to Da Qi. They had absolutely no reason to hinder Dongfang Shuo and Run Xue.

The Second Madam was curious: "Runxue has never been on the battlefield, and the Third Prince has very little experience in the battlefield. In one battle, his entire army was annihilated. How can they achieve the final victory?"

Chu Heyi: “If I’m not mistaken, Runxue will sacrifice everything that can be sacrificed, as long as she and the Third Prince win, she doesn’t care about the cost and lives of others.

"Their triumph is inevitable. Why don't we talk about what they will do next after they win the war?"

Song Ju and the Second Madam looked at her with great curiosity.

Only Chu Ren asked aloud: "What will they do next?"

Chu Heyi said: "If they make great sacrifices in exchange for victory in the war, then even if they return victorious, their reputation will be damaged. And their ultimate goal is that high position...

"If I were in their position, I would vigorously recruit talents and develop the economy for my own benefit. There is no doubt that the Third Prince and his wife will definitely take this path."

Chu Heyi took a sip of tea, smiled, and looked determined.

"Since they are so ambitious, we might as well collect evidence and inform the emperor to completely cut off their path." said the second lady.

"But so far, the couple has not left any evidence for us to collect," said Chu Heyi.

"The Dihua Conspiracy and the Osmanthus Bureau were both set up by Runxue for the emperor, and the national treasury was enriched because of her. In addition, the law that put salt and iron under the control of the court was also proposed by Runxue and adopted by the emperor, which greatly benefited both the court and the emperor.

"Even if the people don't know these things, the emperor knows them in his heart. A girl in the boudoir can do this for the emperor and Daqi. How can the emperor believe that Runxue wants to do that with the third prince?"

Chu Heyi originally wanted to say "plotting power and usurping the throne", but she changed her words when the words were on the tip of her tongue, and everyone understood.

Chu Ren's eyes showed anger: "Can we just watch them grow stronger?"

Chu Heyi smiled softly: "That depends on how fast she is. She and the Third Prince have just set out for Yanzhou City. It will take a long time for them to return victoriously."

Chu Ren and the other three all stared at her for a while.

The butler's voice came from far outside the yard: "Fourth Master, the head of the Xie family wants to see you."

Xie Lin is here?

Chu Heyi immediately said, "Please come in!"

When Song Ju saw that there were guests coming to his house, he knew that he could not stay for long, so he got up and said goodbye, saying that his sister was still waiting for him at home.

The second wife also said, "I'm full, let me walk around in the yard to help digest the food."

Chu Ren glanced at Chu Heyi and said with a smile, "From what Uncle Fu said, it seems that Patriarch Xie is here to see me."

Otherwise, why do they call him "the Fourth Young Master" instead of something else?

Chu Heyi also noticed this little detail. She was suspicious. Why did Xie Lin go to her fourth brother instead of her when he had something to do?

When Xie Lin was brought in, Chu Heyi stood up to greet him.

Today, Xie Lin was wearing a dark green brocade robe, which made him look tall and slender. His face was extremely beautiful, but his skin was cold and pale, like fragile white porcelain.

Cold and lonely, like an immortal on the top of a mountain, absolutely beautiful but far away and unreachable.

Chu Ren invited Xie Lin to the front hall.

Chu Heyi told Rui Mama: "Just give me and Patriarch Xie a cup of warm water each. He doesn't drink tea."

Xie Lin paused slightly. He and Chu Heyi didn't spend much time together, but Chu Heyi actually knew that he didn't drink tea, only warm water.

The three of them sat down in the front hall and exchanged some greetings. Nanny Rui brought up two cups of warm water and placed them on the coffee table in front of Chu Heyi and Xie Lin respectively. Only Chu Ren drank the tea.

After the greetings, Chu Ren asked, "I wonder why Patriarch Xie came to visit today?"

"I do have an unreasonable request." Xie Lin took out a letter from his sleeve, stood up and walked in front of Chu Ren without elaborating.

He said directly: "I have some opinions on the current situation in Daqi, and I have written them down in a letter. Please submit it to the emperor on my behalf when General Wen Ce enters the palace."

As soon as he said this, Chu Heyi instantly understood that Xie Lin was going to become an official!

This is really great. With his talent, he will definitely make great achievements if he becomes an official in the court.

By then, the Chu family will guard the border, and Xie Lin will have a firm foothold in the court. Then, the Chu family will join forces with the Xie family to build a solid barrier for the relatives of both sides. The Third Prince and his wife will never be able to force them to death using the methods they used in their previous life.

She had always been thinking about how to get Xie Lin to follow her path, and now Xie Lin was here, wasn't he?

"Okay, my fourth brother agreed!" Chu Heyi took the letter from him and put it directly in Chu Ren's hand.
