The country is not as pretty as the beauty

Lai Junchen didn't seem to understand Kunli's abnormality, but he knew that there must be something wrong with his master asking him to investigate it himself.

"Could it be that what my Majesty said is true, the death of the princess was planned by you, or are you hiding something?"

Kunli let go of Lai Junchen who had been grabbed by him, and laughed, and people outside the hall sensed the movement and ran in to escort him.

Kunli yelled at them, frightening the guards to retreat hurriedly. Kunli is a very peaceful monarch who treats everyone equally, so he is deeply loved by the people, but today I don't know why he is like this. The guards are also puzzled.

Kunli's expression was a little scary, and there was some resentment besides anger.

"Do you want to know?" After the guards retreated, Kunli turned his back to Lai Junchen and spoke contemptuously, deliberately unhurried.

"Of course, the Son of Heaven sent me here to inquire about this!"

"It's ridiculous, the majestic emperor of the Northern Kingdom of the mainland sent many spies to inquire about the death of a little princess on the border!" Kun Li's three smiles were all insane.

There were only the two of them in the hall after Kun Li angrily reprimanded them, and the guards outside the hall were also silent. It became Kunli's question to him.

Lai Junchen asked himself, as a cruel official himself, there are many ways to question others, but he can't learn this kind of kingly spirit, and in some ways Kunli is very similar to his master.

"I have my own plans towards the emperor, and I don't allow others to speculate, not to mention who are you to dare to do this!"

Lai Junchen wants Kunli to know that Nanzhao is just a small country under the fence of others, and Su Chao can razed Nanzhao to the ground as long as he thinks about it.

Kunli continued to look at him, and sneered: "No matter what dynasty, the emperors of the Central Plains would keep dogs, but this time, the dogs are really good!"

What Kunli said was a little too bold. It should not be in the mouth of a calm monarch. It is true that the words will compare Junchen to the emperor's dog, but it has a derogatory meaning. Whoever listens It won't be easy, not to mention that Lai Junchen is the emperor's trusted confidant, who in the world would dare to treat him like this?Thus, Kunli angered Lai Junchen.

Kunli's sneer was followed by a terrifying silence, so quiet that the slight sound of armor outside the hall could be heard.

Lai Junchen's skill was very fast, and the sound of drawing the sword was harsh. The silver sword rested on Kunli's neck, but Kunli was very indifferent, without changing his expression or beating his heart, even though he knew that Lai Junchen could kill him at any time.

With Junchen's skills, even if there are thousands of troops outside the palace, he can still kill the Nanzhao king and escape from this Nanzhao palace.

So he dared to do this!

"Are you not afraid that I will kill you for His Majesty?"

"Do you dare?" Kun Li stared at Lai Junchen with round eyes.

Lai Junchen frowned and gritted his teeth. He really didn't dare. Although Nanguo was a small country, Tian Wuhen said that he could become a big country and unify the six countries in the southwest, so Tian Wuhen wanted to keep Nanguo as a subsidiary. Smart, able to govern the country and watch the situation, Tian Wuhen also knows that Kunli is a big taboo, but he has to keep it, because people who are not smart are likely to bite themselves.

After a long time, Lai Junchen took back the silver sword bestowed by the emperor after he calmed down, and Kunli tidied up his clothes, along with his own emotions.

After all, he had to open his mouth to answer, the purpose of coming to Junchen, it is impossible to stop here, and Su Chao sent people several times to ask questions, it is very likely that the iron cavalry from the North Kingdom came.

"She's not dead!" Kun Li said meaningfully, and looked at the portrait on the wall.

"Sure enough, what's the news about?" Since Lai Junchen was tasked with asking, it wasn't just about Nan Wan's death.

"She has been married to me for three years, but she never agrees to me. I can give up everything for her, but she never looks at me. Every day, she looks melancholy, looking at the north and the direction of Dongdu. How can I tell this king not to be heartbroken, but so what, she is still my queen, and it would be good to see her every day." Kunli said intermittently, and walked to the portrait: "But a year ago, suddenly Tell me that she wants to leave, leave the palace, and leave Nanzhao. I asked her where she wanted to go, but she didn't say anything. If I didn't agree, she would die. She finally put forward the condition that she and I have a child and become the crown prince!"

"Then this child belongs to you and the queen?" In addition to the news of King Nanzhao's death, there is also the birth of the little prince.

Kunli couldn't speak, this incident was a pain in his heart.

"No, this is the child born between me and the daughter of my father's deceased brother. It was not me who inherited the throne, but her. Who would have thought that she would want to leave!"

"Leaving? Where did you go!" Lai Junchen continued to ask, Wuhen didn't let him ask these days, but Lai Junchen could guess what the emperor meant.

"Where are you going? Isn't it enough for the emperor of your northern kingdom to have three thousand beauties? Will this king want to snatch just this beloved woman?"

"You are presumptuous. How can I compare my court to His Majesty? Up to now, there is only the queen. If your queen agrees with her heart, it is just wishful thinking!" Lai Junchen guessed from Kunli's eyes that the Queen of Nanzhao He has admiration for his master, but Lai Junchen only sees use and conspiracy in his master's eyes.Although there is affection, it is not love.

Kunli couldn't believe it: "It's wishful thinking, so why did you send someone here to inquire about the death of his queen?"

Lai Junchen had nothing to say, but he knew that the emperor asked him to inquire not because he liked it, but because of some kind of kindness and use.

"The queen must go to the Central Plains. If that's the case, then you are not as good as others, and you can't blame my lord!"

Kun Li sat down in a daze: "Yes, no matter what, it's still unbeatable!"

Lying on the dark chair like a dead person, his face was expressionless, and his eyes kept staring at the painting.

Lai Junchen came out of the palace, and everyone stared at him, with no good intentions but hostility. Lai Junchen returned to the North Kingdom to return to his command, and then the palace issued a decree.

Originally, the old king wanted Kunli to make the child's biological mother the queen, and announced to the world that the child who was originally his own would become his own child, but Kunli refused, and Li side concubine also refused.

In this life, Kunli will only stand for one queen, and he, Kunli, will only have one wife in this life. He will always wait for Nanwan to come back, even if he will never be able to.

The northern Turks wantonly invaded the border of the Su Dynasty and disrupted people's livelihood. This has always been a hidden danger since the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, the iron cavalry of the famous nomads in the north is very powerful.

The war will be at the right time and place, the people will be in harmony with the time and place, the expedition to the north, the foreign country, the soil and water are not submissive, and the Turkic people are good at riding horses, living in the water and grass to practice the ability to survive in the wild. .

Tian Wuhen discussed with the ministers, because they sent people to exterminate them several times without any results, so Tian Wuhen and the ministers still hesitated.

"Your Majesty's militarism will only waste people and money. Moreover, the Turks have a vast territory, and expeditions require long distances. The north is cold and water-draining, and the supply of food and grass is also a problem. I am afraid that our soldiers will return without success. Moreover, barbarians like Turks can be dismissed with a small favor. , why mobilize the crowd!"

"Scholar's remarks, Your Majesty!"

"What's Gongjin's opinion?" Daizhou Governor Zhang Gongjin is also a veteran minister. He served as a general, and won Tian Wuhen's trust last time when he accompanied the emperor himself.

"The Turks have always been the troubles of our court. Although he never wanted to go to war with the North, it was because the Turkic Khan was stupid. Besides, small favors and favors would inflate his desires, so he didn't want more. Just ask me, a big country. How can you tolerate the demands of a small country!"

Tian Wuhen nodded, feeling that there was some truth: "What Gongjin said is absolutely true!"

"Your Majesty still has six reasons for conquering the Turks. I hope your Majesty and all the ministers can make up their minds about the Northern Expedition after hearing this!" The generals are brave enough to fight, but now the days of peace are long, and all the generals who have made great achievements have been forgotten. Zhang Gongjin is not as honest as Li Jing calm.

"speak!"

"The Khan of Jieli is extravagant and brutal, punishes the good and the good, and is close to the traitors, this is the first; Xue Yantuo and other tribes have rebelled, this is the second; Tuli, Tuoshe, and Yugushe all offend Jieli, and they have no place to be ashamed, this is the third; The northern part of the Saibei area experienced frost and drought, and food was scarce. This is the fourth. Jieli alienated his people and entrusted him with heavy responsibilities. There were a lot of people at that time, and recently I heard that they gathered armed forces, occupied dangerous places, and the army went out, so naturally the internal response, this is the sixth!"

The six reasons are all the benefits of the expedition, and the ministers talked a lot.

Tian Wuhen laughed loudly: "The old general is indeed very experienced in dealing with the border, and he has a clear understanding of the Turks. Good job!"

Tian Wuhen admired it, proving that the expedition is set, so there are only candidates for the command, and the people of the Bai family do nothing, because they know that Tian Wuhen is the candidate, so naturally the civil servants are silent, only the generals They picked one after another, Tian Wuhen coughed, and became quiet in the middle of the court.

"The candidate for the coach has already been carefully considered and finalized as the old general Li Jing, Zhang Gongjin as the deputy commander!"

Li Jing's prestige is very high, the title of the Duke of the State, coupled with the high position of the Minister of the Ministry of War, neither Gou Junji nor Zhengzhou has anything to say.

"Xue Wanche, Li Xun, and Chai Shao are the heads of all the Taoists, leading an expedition of [-] troops to the Turks!"

"Leader!"

Chai Shao is the husband of the late emperor's younger sister, the founding general, and the shepherd of Huazhou, who is not in Dongdu, while Xue Wanche is capable of martial arts but very stupid.

Li Jing said to Tian Wuhen when he was selecting generals before: "If you are Wanche, you will be brave and foolhardy, and it is difficult to be alone!"

Naturally, Tian Wuhen knew, but with Li Jing and Zhang Gongjin, his intelligence was not needed as long as the strength of a general.

After the date of the expedition was finalized, the palace became busy. After a major incident, Tian Wuhen changed the year name from Yuping to Yuguan.

A few days later, Junchen returned to Dongdu, and immediately rushed to the palace.

The palace was busy preparing for the expedition, Lai Junchen entered the palace and hurried to the middle palace, because it was already lunch time, Tian Wuhen must be there.

"Your Majesty, Lai Junchen is back!"

Tian Wuhen, who was still eating, went out without eating. Ju Yuan secretly whispered in Tian Wuhen's ear, so Bai Muxue didn't know.

Bai Muxue thought it was about the expedition, so she didn't follow.
