Traveling through ancient times, I married an ugly brother

He Jingyi came out from Concubine Li, but she did not expect to meet the eldest princess, Chen Linlin on the way out of the palace.

When He Jingyi greeted Chen Linlin, she picked up her eyes and saw her belly.

The eldest concubine also saw the child in her arms, she reached out and touched the child's little face, and said: "This is Yin'er! She is a lucky one, brother and sister are going back?"

"Yes, sister-in-law is going to greet the queen mother?" He Jingyi asked.

Chen Linlin touched her belly with happiness, and said, "Yes, the queen mother wants to see her grandson."

He Jingyi snorted in her heart, she didn't know if she was a man or a woman, but she said in her mouth: "Then don't bother sister-in-law, brother and sister will leave first."

The two passed by.

Today, in the court hall, a great event happened.

The emperor received two distress letters, one from the Hu barbarians and one from the Huns.

The reason was that the snowstorm caused heavy losses to the Humans and Huns. They thought they could get through this difficult time by raising food everywhere, but unexpectedly, the East Turkic tribes took advantage of this situation and attacked them when they were defenseless. took them.

It's really "killing you while you're sick."

Now, the Eastern Turks have captured many of their small tribes and occupied a lot of their land. They have no food and no horses. I am afraid they will not last long. The ambition of the Turks is bound to be an enemy of the Great Jin Dynasty, and it is only a matter of time before the war begins.

At that time, there were different opinions in the court.

Some said to send troops to rescue, while others said not to send troops for the time being. The snipe and clam competed for the fisherman's profit, and waited until they were exhausted before sending troops.

In short, today's court was more lively than ever before.

The emperor didn't express any opinion, and waited until they had almost quarreled, then said "Let's discuss tomorrow" and retreated.

After the court, the emperor returned to the imperial study, sat on a chair, closed his eyes and meditated.

When he opened his eyes again, he wrote an imperial edict ordering all the princes above the age of one to go to court to discuss state affairs tomorrow.

As soon as the news came out, the ministers were not calm. The emperor asked these princes to participate in the government affairs. Could it be that he wanted to choose the prince among these few people?

There are seven princes who have reached their full age, the eldest prince Zhu Xuanshuo, the second prince Zhu Xuanli, the third prince Zhu Xuandong, the fourth prince Zhu Xuanye, the fifth prince Zhu Xuanying, the sixth prince Zhu Xuanqing, and the seventh prince Zhu Xuanyao.

When the seven princes received the edict, they had different expressions, not to mention what they were thinking in their hearts, but when the queen heard about it, she lost her temper.

The queen smashed several cups in her bedroom, and she said angrily to Momo beside her: "It's unreasonable, the seven princes are going to court, what the emperor wants to do, if you say Zhu Xuanye, that's all. Zhu Xuanyao, who is ignorant and incompetent, does not do business all day long, what qualifications do he have to go to court, and there are several other princes who are all born of lowly maidservants. How can they be qualified to go to court to discuss politics? Too many people."

"Oh, ma'am, you can keep your voice down, keep your voice down." Sun Memo hurriedly stopped her in fright.

"Why should I keep my voice low? What I said was wrong. My Shuo'er has suffered so many grievances, woo woo woo..." The queen was so angry that she burst into tears.

But she has nothing to do except to vent. Her natal family has been completely weakened by the emperor in the past few years. Who can she ask, Chen Jiye, yes, she wants to write to Chen Jiye, hoping that his mentor Yang Wenguang can support her His prince stood by their side.

On the second day, in the court hall, Yang Wenguang and Prime Minister Yang were on the left, and Li Yuan and Li Taiwei were on the right.

After the princes came to the court, they automatically divided into two factions.

Standing on the left are Zhu Xuanshuo, Zhu Xuanli, and Zhu Xuandong.

Standing on the right are Zhu Xuanye, Zhu Xuanying, Zhu Xuanqing, and Zhu Xuanyao.

The emperor walked up to the main hall, saw such a position, and didn't say anything.

What is being discussed today is something that has not been concluded yesterday. Whether the Hu barbarians and the Xiongnu asked for help, whether to send troops or not to send troops, there must be a result today.

It was the first day for the seven princes to go to court, but they encountered such a problem. They all lowered their heads, kept silent, and obediently listened to the old officials arguing in the court, but they couldn't find a single one. in conclusion.

On the left is Yang Wenguang's faction, which believes that they will not send troops for the time being, and they will watch the fire from the other side and take advantage of the fire to loot.

On the right is Li Yuan's faction, who believes that troops should be sent immediately. They have friendly relations with the Hu Man and Xiongnu. In the past 100 years, the two tribes have never neglected to pay tribute every year. Now that they are in trouble, how can they stand by and hide behind.

At that time, the two factions were quarreling fiercely. The public said that the public was right and the woman said that the woman was right, and the emperor had a big fight.

"Quiet~~" the palace man shouted after seeing the emperor frowning.

The people in the court finally fell silent.

The emperor said, "Xuan Shuo, what do you think?"

Zhu Xuanshuo actually didn't have any ideas, but now that he was suddenly named, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "My son thinks that we won't send troops for now."

"Why?"

"My son thinks that we can watch the fire from the other side first, and catch them all when they are both hurt. Then we can dominate the country and become the overlord of one side."

The emperor did not express any opinion on his point of view, but asked Zhu Xuanye again, "Xuan Ye, what do you think?"

Zhu Xuanye stepped forward and said: "My minister thinks that troops should be sent immediately."

"Tell me."

"East Turks have always been very mysterious. They suddenly sent troops to attack the Hu barbarians and the Huns. They must have made complete preparations. I don't know how long this preparation took, but it was definitely not a temporary move. They may have been waiting for an opportunity long ago. , and this heavy snowfall is their opportunity. The Hu Man and the Huns are now asking for help, and they must have been unable to hold on anymore. The possibility of defeat is very high. If they are defeated, there will inevitably be many Hu Man and Hun warriors Captured, just imagine, who do they hate the most, the East Turks who occupied their land and killed their relatives, or us who accept their tribute every year but refuse to save them?"

As for the Eastern Turks, their power has not only increased, but they also have a group of fighters who are willing to die. If one day, the Eastern Turks go to war against the Jin Dynasty, then the first ones who rush to take our lives must be those Hu barbarians Prisoners of war with the Huns.

After Zhu Xuanye finished speaking, the hall was completely silent.

After a while, the emperor nodded and said: "The Hu barbarians and the Xiongnu signed a century-old friendship agreement with our Great Jin Dynasty, and they have been attached to us for a long time. The payment of tribute has never stopped every year. Now they are bullied by other tribes. Will not stand idly by."

The emperor has already made a decision, and the others are naturally silent.

"Leading the rescue is urgent, who wants to lead the army?" the emperor asked the civil and military officials in the court hall.

The Great Jin Dynasty hadn't fought a war for almost 100 years, and it was about to fight suddenly, and everyone shrank back. For a while, no one stood up.

Zhu Xuanye stood up at this time and said: "My minister is willing to lead the army."

The emperor fell silent when he saw him stand up, and did not immediately agree.

Zhu Xuanyao also stood up and said: "My son is also willing to lead the army.

The other princes looked at each other, but they didn't have the courage to stand up.

The eldest prince was not convinced, he was able to lead troops, and was about to step out to ask for orders, but was pulled by Yang Wenguang and stopped him.

After a while, the emperor said: "The fourth prince, Zhu Xuanye, was made the general of the hussars. He led [-] soldiers and went to the rescue. Lu Zhijian served as his deputy and went together. In addition, the generals stationed at the border of our dynasty must fully obey the command of the fourth prince."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Lu Zhijian, son of Minister of War

When the eldest prince heard that Zhu Xuanye had been named a general, his guts turned green with regret.

After the court, Yang Wenguang said to Zhu Xuanshuo: "Do you think it's a good thing to be named a general? Do you know what's going on in East Turkic? Don't say that you are a general, but you are a prince. If you die, what's the matter?" Use." After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Zhu Xuanshuo looked thoughtfully at Yang Wenguang's leaving back.

Zhu Xuanye asked Lu Zhijian to order [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, as well as food and grass.

The Hu barbarians and the Huns may have run out of ammunition and food.

When Concubine Li heard that her eldest son was going to fight, he lost his mind while drinking tea and broke the teacup in his hand.

When the Queen heard about this, she hooked her lips and smiled, "Hehe, okay, okay, I thought this fourth son was a man of success, but I didn't expect him to be a reckless man. He thought he could steal the limelight for anything. Is it?"

After Zhu Xuanyao got off the court, he caught up with Zhu Xuanye and said, "Fourth brother, let me go with you."

Zhu Xuanye stopped, patted his head and said: "Don't mess around, stay here to comfort mother and concubine, he must be frightened."

"But, I'm worried about you alone." Zhu Xuan said with concern.

'Why don't you worry, your martial arts are not as good as mine. "Zhu Xuanye gave Zhu Xuanyao a head.

"But," Zhu Xuanyao wanted to say more, but was stopped by Zhu Xuanye.

"I've given you a task to spend more time with my concubine mother. If so, take good care of him for me." Zhu Xuanye patted the other party's shoulder.

"Fourth brother." Zhu Xuanyao heard his unfinished words, and his eyes were red.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Xuanye couldn't help snorting, and said, "How old is he, and still crying, don't be ashamed."

"Fourth brother, you must come back safely." Zhu Xuanyao didn't mind the other party's ridicule, but asked the other party to promise that he would come back safely.

"Of course I will come back safely, don't worry." Zhu Xuanye said.

Zhu Xuanye returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to pack up his things. He Jingyi ran over after receiving the news and said, "Brother Xuanye, you, are you going to fight?"

Zhu Xuanye glanced at her, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Brother Xuan Ye, you're gone, what will Yin'er and I do, Yin'er is still so young, you,"

"The emperor's order is hard to break."

"I'll ask my concubine, let him ask the emperor, and someone else will go." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

"This matter has been decided, I am going to go by myself." Zhu Xuanye stopped her and said.

"Are you going by yourself? Why? You want to escape from me, from this family, what's wrong with me, why are you doing this, why can't you love me, why?" He Jingyi shouted hysterically.

"If you regret it, I can let you go." Zhu Xuanye said expressionlessly.

"Leave? Hehe, are you hard-hearted? I like you so much and gave birth to Yin'er for you. Are you indifferent and not touched at all?" He Jingyi's tears flowed down uncontrollably.

"Yin'er was born on your wishful thinking. If you don't want it, I can send him away." Zhu Xuanye still said without any expression.

"Hehe, leave, send away, is this what you think in your heart?" He Jingyi looked at him complicatedly.

"Yes." This was Zhu Xuanye's final answer.

He Jingyi stared at him for a long time, then stopped pestering him, turned around and left.

Zhu Xuanye looked at her back for a moment, summoned the hidden guards, and said: "Protect the little master, if there is anything wrong, send him to..."

Zhu Xuanye gave an address.

"Yes."
