Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

The host and guest enjoyed a meal, and Kong Qingping found that the emperor smiled more and his posture was more relaxed in front of Adela.As for Concubine Ning, who was rumored to be extremely charming by people in the palace, she was very polite and distant in her speech and demeanor, without the slightest bit of coquettishness.

He looked at Guo Heng's courteous but restrained appearance to Adele, and he couldn't help guessing in his heart, could it be that Brother Huang hasn't...

He was taken aback by his own thoughts, how could it be possible?A noble concubine who has been in the palace for several months does not let the emperor get close?How could I have such an idea?

Kong Qingping shuddered, and was about to get up to say goodbye when he heard Shui Yun hurried in to report.

"Your Majesty! The Ministry of War has an urgent military situation!"

''ah! ,,

Guo Heng and Kong Qingping stood up together, Guo Heng asked in a deep voice, "Where is the residence newspaper?"

"Back to the emperor, Mr. Tang, Mr. Yan, and Mr. Kong from the Ministry of War are already in the imperial study."

"Qingping, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Guo Heng and Kong Qingping walk out, Xu Chengze's heart also rose.

Military emergency?What is going on?Is it going to war?

Originally, he would take a nap after lunch, but today, he couldn't fall asleep anyway, so he sat alone at the desk for a while

noon.

Alian brought him food and drink a few times, Xu Chengze just let her put it down lightly, but after a while she went over and put the things on the table intact.

Alian asked Yi Na softly, "Yi Na, what's wrong with the princess?"

Yi Na said coldly: "It's not about worrying about the emperor!"

Alian shook her head helplessly, what exactly is the princess planning?

Tonight is not the day to meet Guo Heng, but Xu Chengze can't sleep no matter what.He simply got up, put on his coat and was about to go out.

Yi Na stopped him with a sullen face, "Princess, don't you miss the emperor today?"

Xu Chengze nodded, "I can't sleep, let's go for a walk."

"But why do you need to dress like this when you go out for a walk?"

Xu Chengze wore Guo Heng's clothes for the night party, and also put on makeup, but he didn't wear a beard.

Seeing that Yi Na has dressed him up a lot, Xu Chengze can also put on makeup himself.

Xu Chengze's face froze, "I, I just went to have a look, maybe the emperor won't be able to sleep."

A-Lian was in a hurry, and tugged on his skirt, "Princess, it's windy outside, it looks like it's going to rain, you better not go out. If you catch a cold, it's you who will suffer!"

"I'm just going to have a look. If the emperor is not here, I'll be right back."

Yi Na knew that Xu Chengze couldn't be persuaded, so she could only say: "My servant will go with you."

"No!" Xu Chengze refused very simply, "If you go, the emperor will think about it."

Yi Na sneered in her heart, I just won't go, do you think the emperor won't think too much about it?However, she felt that even if the emperor doubted Yu Qi's identity, he would not think of a noble concubine in the palace, so she could only nod.

"Then you should wear more."

"woman.,,

"Have you stopped sticking your beard?"

"no need."

After speaking, Xu Chengze opened the door and walked out.

After going out, a gust of cold wind hit, Xu Chengze shivered suddenly, only then did he realize that what Yi Na and A Lian said was true, the wind outside was really strong, and it was raining lightly.

However, walking in the wind and rain, his mind calmed down instead.Now, one third of the military power of Daliang Kingdom is in the hands of Marshal Lin Ziming, Marquis of Anguo, one third is commanded by Mu Yuanzhong who is stationed on the border of Jinyue, and one third is stationed in the important area of ​​Kyoto, managed by the strict government. Younger brother Yan Xu takes control.

At this time, there is a military report, it must be Jinyue, not Nanjiang.Mu Yuanzhong should have a garrison of 20 troops. Could it be that he can't resist Beiyue's invasion?

If Mu Yuanzhong loses, he will have to mobilize troops from Daliang. Although Lin Ziming is not old, he has not been in good health since he entered Beijing. It seems to be difficult for him to lead the troops.Looking at the military generals in the court, they all inherited their father's position,

He has no actual combat experience, and if he really wants to send troops, who will lead the troops is also a problem.

Xu Chengze walked forward while thinking, and unknowingly reached Bibo Pavilion.

It was windy and rainy today, and the surroundings were dark, but in the wind and rain, there was a lantern hanging, emitting a faint light.

Xu Chengze couldn't believe it, could it be that Guo Heng is here?

He subconsciously slowed down and walked up the steps.

Sure enough, there was a person sitting in the Bibo Pavilion, dressed in black, looking at the Taiye Pool.On the stone table beside him was a porcelain vase and two cups.

Hearing the sound, the man turned around, and it was Guo Heng.

When Guo Heng saw Xu Chengze, he was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised at all, and smiled lightly, "Guard Yu, you shaved, I almost didn't recognize you."

Xu Chengze rubbed his chin, he would leave sooner or later, he wanted Guo Heng to remember his appearance clearly.

He just wanted to salute, but he heard Guo Heng say again: "Yu Qi, I knew you would come, so I don't even need to pay any formalities, come and have a drink with me.

"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to pick up the porcelain bottle, and filled both glasses with wine.

In the dim light of summer, Xu Chengze saw his pale face, slightly frowning, and his heart suddenly twitched.How long has he been here?Did you not sleep all night?

He glared at Shui Yun who was guarding beside him, why didn't he persuade the emperor a bit?

Shuiyun was stared at, and naturally understood why, only showing a wry smile.How can a slave persuade the emperor?

Guo Heng glanced at him again, and gestured for a drink.

Xu Chengze sat down in front of Guo Heng, raised his hand to pick up the glass of wine, and drank it down.

After drinking the cool white wine, it immediately burned up like a fire.It is actually known as a fierce burning knife.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, this wine..."

Guo Heng smiled faintly, "I didn't expect Guard Yu to know how to drink. Shuiyun, pour tea for Guard Yu."

"say,,

疋.

Shuiyun handed over a bowl of tea, which was still hot.Xu Chengze drank a full cup before he stopped coughing.

"Your Majesty, what happened? Was Jin Yueguo invading our Daliang?"

Guo Heng's heart moved, and he raised his eyelids to look at Yu Qi, only to see him looking at him nervously.He sneered in his heart, you are exposing more and more.

With a calm expression on his face, he picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, put down the wine glass, and said: "Not really."

1,,

Xu Chengze's heart was half relieved, and then he became confused again.

"Then why is the emperor troubled? What did the emergency military report say in the afternoon?"

Guo Heng looked at Xu Chengze with a half-smile, "The news from the guards is so fast! I received the military report this afternoon, so you know it now?

"

Xu Chengze touched his chin subconsciously, and said cautiously: "Humble job, I've only heard about humble job."

"I heard? In the palace, who dares to talk so much?"

Guo Heng wanted to say the name Yi Na, but felt that it was too late.

He poured another glass of wine and drank it, then said: "It's not that the Jinyue Kingdom invaded our country, but the Jinyue Kingdom attacked the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty came here

help. "

Xu Chengze heaved a sigh of relief, luckily he didn't violate Daliang.

"Your Majesty, since it's not an invasion of Daliang, it's easy to handle. Do they want us to send troops for reinforcements?"

"present,,

Seeing that Guo Heng's brows were not loosened, Xu Chengze thought about it: "The emperor doesn't want to borrow troops?"

Guo Heng sighed, "It's not that I don't want to borrow troops, but that I don't dare to borrow troops easily."

"What does the emperor mean by this?"

Having been with Yu Qi for nearly two months, Guo Heng knew that he was very strategic and strict, so he was not afraid that he would leak the news.

"Guard Yu should know that I don't have a shortage of big Liang soldiers now, but there are very few generals who can actually command. Apart from Lin Yunzhen and Mu Yuanzhong who are stationed outside, I don't know who else I can send troops. I am struggling, should I send Mu Yuanzhong directly?" In the distance, we should choose soldiers from the court to send troops."

Xu Chengze got up and stomped a few steps in the Bibo Pavilion.Turning back, he said, "Your Majesty, General Mu is the pillar of my beam and the main force guarding the frontier. If you send him troops, it would be too much for the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If Jin Yue takes the opportunity to invade my beam, that's a shame

The gain outweighs the loss.The humble job feels impossible. "

"Well. This is where I hesitate."

"Your Majesty, what is the proposition of the ministers?"

"Master Kong advocates sending troops. His reasons are the same as mine. The relationship between Bei Zhou and Daliang has always been harmonious. The previous dynasty and the Great Qian Dynasty all had in-laws with our Daliang. Since Bei Zhou came to ask for help, we can't bear our Daliang's reputation. And Yan Zheng said that the relationship between Beizhou and Jinyue has never been harmonious, and there are constant frictions on the border, why they have never asked for help before, but now they come to ask for help, I am afraid there is a trap. So they advocate wait and see."

"Well, what the grand master said makes sense. Your majesty, what do you mean?"

"I think Master Kong's words are more reasonable. If we send troops to Hu, if Bei Zhou turns around and forms an alliance with Jin Yue, our Daliang will become passive. But I am also afraid that if Bei Zhou has a conspiracy, our son of Daliang will Death in vain."

Xu Chengze nodded, "The emperor is right."

Guo Heng chuckled softly, squinted at Xu Chengze and said, "Guard Yu, what you said by the grand master is justified, and what I think is right, neither side should offend! Will I send this soldier or not?"

Xu Chengze also laughed.

Guo Heng looked at his smile and lost his mind, Yu Qi's smile is so pretty.There is also a dimple!Why does his appearance look familiar?

He didn't have time to think about it, because Xu Chengze quickly restrained his smile and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I think that since Bei Zhou came to ask for help, of course we must send troops. We can not only show the loyalty of our alliance, but also pass the victory." Come to frighten Jin Yue and Bei Zhou so that they don't dare to invade our Daliang."

"The guard Yu thinks more deeply than I do."

Xu Chengze was a little embarrassed, lowered his eyes, and continued: "General Mu has been stationed in the frontier for many years, and he knows Jinyue and Bei Zhou very well. Naturally, let him send troops nearby. As for who to send, the emperor doesn't have to worry about it. Just let General Mu decide. You can send troops from the imperial capital to reinforce General Mu. The current garrison is Yan Xu, and if you ask him to take [-] troops to Nanping, you can take the opportunity to take the military power of [-] troops as your own."

Guo Heng frowned, "What if he doesn't want to go? What if he doesn't want to hand over the military power?"

"It's entirely possible. The reason why the Grand Master is so powerful is because his younger brother has the military power. If he is really unwilling, you can use the second method."

"any solution?"

It was a bit cold at night, Xu Chengze couldn't help shivering.

"This method... is a bit unrealistic."

"Come here, come into my arms."

Guo Heng interrupted Xu Chengze, untied his cloak, stretched out his arms, and opened his arms.
