Once magnificent, now brilliant

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather in central Beijing was no longer extremely cold, but it was still cold.

The relationship between Qi Xiang and Bai Junyu is still not as good as before, but the intimacy inside is still the same.The third prince may have been monitoring for a while and didn't find anything special, so he didn't care about him anymore.

The Eldest Prince's health is also much better, the Emperor treats him as before, but obviously reduces the discussions with him about court matters.No matter what the Eldest Prince thinks, at least in the eyes of others, the Eldest Prince's illness means that he has lost his position as the crown prince.

Bai Ruowei was still not taken back to the palace, as if everyone had forgotten about her.The people who had fawned on Bai Shangli before also disappeared, and the Bai Mansion has become a place where there are few people.

Everything in General Fengbei's mansion is as usual, no different from the mansions of other adults in the court.

This season is also about to catch up with the time when there is no demand. There are many places in various places that need relief from the court. In addition, they have to allocate needs to various military camps. It is much more busy than before, but everything is going on in an orderly manner, and there is no need to worry about it. .

In the early morning of this day, the border crossed [-] li in a hurry, and the booklet was sent to the palace. An hour later, the emperor summoned the ministers to discuss matters in the imperial study.

The emperor's face was frosty, and he said sternly: "The brutal wolf clan is here to attack, this is the brochure delivered in the morning, please take a look."

Eunuch Li handed over the excerpt to the following ministers.

Minister of the Ministry of War said: "Your Majesty, the brutal wolf tribe has always aimed to annex the surrounding small tribes, and has never invaded my Dachuan. This time, the sudden attack is for food or other things?"

The emperor said: "The newly appointed leader of the Violent Wolf Clan last year is ambitious and good at fighting. The surrounding tribes have almost been annexed by him, and the strength of the Violent Wolf Clan has also been greatly improved. It seems that it should be done in this season. food, but the movements and speed of the Brutal Wolf Clan are clearly aimed at the city."

The excerpts were passed on slowly, and the ministers were reading and discussing.

"Your Majesty, the brutal wolves are wolves with ambitions. Just look at the speed at which they annexed the small clan. Now that they have grown significantly, they have become a future problem. The imperial court should immediately send troops to suppress them. Otherwise, they will become more courageous as they fight. , Okawa is not easy to deal with."

"The minister seconded the proposal. Moreover, it will take a lot of time to send troops to go, and who to send to the expedition needs to be discussed again. It is better to let the nearest military camp reinforce first, so that the court can have a buffer time to prepare."

"Your Majesty, this is a very important matter, and it really needs to be carefully discussed. Conquest is a major event, and there must be no mistakes like before."

"This time, the wolves are coming fiercely, and Dachuan must deal with it carefully. It also depends on whether the Ministry of Households has sufficient food, grass and silver. The integration of generals and the army must also be properly arranged. This will also take time to discuss."

The emperor nodded, "Everything you say is reasonable. You go back and write a charter, and we will discuss it tomorrow morning. The left minister, the right minister, the minister of the Ministry of war, and the cadres of the household department will stay, and the others will step down."

"I'm waiting to retire."

The emperor kept these few people to continue discussing this issue.

It is inevitable to send troops, but let people go, how many troops to send, and the money needed, still need to be discussed again.Beijing and China have recently spent a lot of money to save places and supply military camps. Whether they can support the war really needs to be carefully calculated.

This time, Prime Minister Zuo, who always liked to express his opinions, was very silent, looking absent-minded.However, all the ministers spoke passionately, and no one paid special attention to him when he didn't express his opinion. Only the right minister looked at him twice and didn't say anything.

Qi Xiang soon found out about the Liwolf Clan. This is the benefit of having a general at home. News about wars always comes very quickly.

Bai Junyu was still very careful, she only arrived at the small courtyard at night.Of course, since you're here, you can't leave.

Qi Xiang sat by the bed and soaked his feet. Master made some herbs for him to soak his feet, which can warm up his body and help him recuperate in advance.It is not easy to get sick when the sky warms up, and when it is warm and then cold, it is not easy to get sick.

"What do you think about this battle? Do you want to go to war?" Qi Xiang asked him.As a general, meritorious service and the like can be put aside. Defending the family and the country is always the first. If Bai Junyu wants to

Go, he will not stop, a man should always have a man's ambition.

Bai Junyu shook her head, "In the past, when encountering wars, regardless of the scruples about military power, I really wanted to go to battle and kill the enemy. But this time I don't have any special ideas. I want to be with you more than going to the front line. We wasted A lot of time, if it is not particularly necessary, I don't want to waste time on the expedition. And at the point where our family is, it is no longer possible to seal it up. I can't fight for it whether I go or not. The general who can go to the battlefield There are many other things besides me, it’s not up to me. So I want to guard you more than those.”

Qi Xiang chuckled, "General Bai, losing one's will for love is not what a general does."

"For you, I don't need anything. To put it bluntly, those ambitions are just related to status. As long as I can protect you and reach a certain position, that's enough. I don't need to be under one person, but above ten thousand people." Bai Junyu took Passing the cloth towel, squatting down to help Qi Xiang wipe his feet.

Qi Xiang didn't meet him either, and the smile on his lips never faded, "Then it's okay to be out of the limelight this time. I mentioned to the third prince before that he needs military achievements to consolidate his position. I guess he won't miss this opportunity." Opportunity. In addition, going to the battlefield can be a military achievement, and it can also be the most advantageous place to frame others. It is hard to guarantee that others will not take the opportunity to make trouble, so before the general is determined, it is better to deal with it. Last time, the third prince wanted to harm you. , although the Third Prince was not affected in the end, we all know what happened, and there is no guarantee that he will not make another move this time. The First Prince also needs to guard against it. The Third Prince does not want to miss this kind of opportunity, and the First Prince does not want to miss it."

Bai Junyu nodded, "I understand. It would be best if the emperor has no intention of letting me go to war. I'm afraid that if the emperor has intentions, I won't be able to refuse."

Generals who refuse to go out are no different from cowards, and the emperor must be unhappy.

Qi Xiang put her dry feet on the bed, "Well, you have your wish, the emperor has the emperor's idea, so adapt to the situation."

Bai Junyu took out the water basin, and said after returning: "Recently, Prime Minister Zuo didn't express much opinion when going to court, as if he had something on his mind, but this is unprecedented."

Qi Xiang pulled the quilt over to cover herself, "Maybe it's because when the cause of Cha Pengliang's death was found out, he found that the person who asked the question was gone, so he felt something was wrong."

Zuo Xiang's slow investigation has been complained countless times by them. At this point, all clues have been broken. It can be said that there is no way to investigate. Zuo Xiang will naturally weigh in his heart, whether it is the queen or the third prince. mouth.

"The main reason for this matter is that Prime Minister Zuo didn't dare to make a big fuss to investigate, so it was delayed."

"It doesn't matter, now that the third prince has separated from the left, the result is the same, the process is not important." Qi Xiang said.At least in this matter, the result is far more important than the process.

Bai Junyu said with a smile: "I have to thank the eldest prince for his silent help during this time."

"It's a pity that I can't edit a book to express my gratitude to him." Qi Xiang said seriously.

"There will always be opportunities in the future."

"That's right." It's not too late for them to thank the fourth prince once he ascends the throne.

The morning of the next day undoubtedly revolved around the battle.The ministers discussed it in full swing, some were in favor of sending troops, and naturally some were against it.Some people think that the brutal wolf clan should not be underestimated, and naturally some people think that they are making a fuss out of a molehill.

But at such a time when they are about to face a lack of success, it is undoubtedly a waste of food to send troops in large numbers, and the front and rear palaces have to shrink their stomachs to live.However, there are not enough troops, and if the city is captured, it will be very dangerous after Okawa.So looking at the comparison, it is better to send troops than not to send troops.

As for the candidates, as soon as the emperor asked who was interested in going to the war, the third prince stood up and offered to go to the war.It is said that the morale of the brutal wolf clan is booming now, if there is no prince to go out to increase the morale of the soldiers, I am afraid they will not be able to overwhelm the brutal wolf clan.The Eldest Prince's health has just improved, so it's inconvenient to go on an expedition. The Fourth Prince sits in the household department, and he needs to contribute to military supplies.After thinking about it, only myself is the most suitable, and I am willing to serve the country.

The emperor was silent for a while, and said: "It's good that you have a heart, but you don't have combat experience, it's dangerous to go here, in case something goes wrong..."

"Father, I have made up my mind. I know that I am inexperienced, and my martial arts are not outstanding. I am willing to obey the arrangement of the general.

, just to increase our morale. "Rong Lie looked sincere.

Rong Lie didn't fight for power, so the emperor couldn't refuse, he just asked: "Then do you have a good candidate for general?"

Rong Li said: "I don't know much about military affairs, I only know that General Peng is experienced in using troops, and Little General Bai is brave and good at fighting. If I go out with my minister, I think there will be no danger."

Bai Junyu frowned. He didn't expect that the emperor didn't name him, but the third prince dragged him into trouble.He had no objection to Peng Ji, Peng Ji was better than Peng Liang, and Bai Junyu was not worried about going out with Peng Ji.It's just that the third prince wants to go out with Peng Ji, and it's normal for uncle and nephew to want to take care of them, but adding him would be wrong, right?

The emperor asked Peng Ji first.

Peng Ji is upright, and it is a major issue for his family and country, so he is naturally willing.

The emperor then asked Bai Junyu again, and Bai Junyu couldn't just say no, but said that if there was no one who was more suitable for the expedition, he would be obliged to do so.

The fourth prince was in the household department, and Bai Junyu was not worried about the supply of food and grass at all.But the emperor asked him about his wishes, but did not expressly express his reluctance to let him go to war, and he could not say clearly if he refused.But thinking about it, if the third prince wants to let him go, he must be sure that with him, the fourth prince will not tamper with food and grass.

Afterwards, several generals came out to express their willingness to go to war, but most of them were people with too high meritorious service, and the emperor didn't want to use them either.In the end, there was really no suitable candidate, so he agreed to the third prince's request.There is already a general at the border, so there is no need to make other arrangements. Bai Junyu and Peng Ji are the deputy generals, and the third prince is the supervisor. They will set off for the border in seven days.

Qi Xiang was not surprised to hear the news, as he said again, he was wary of the third prince in his heart, thinking that the third prince might play tricks.It was also because of this that he did not dare to be sloppy when Bai Junyu went out this time.

Bai Junyu put his arms around him and coaxed: "Don't be unhappy, the emperor didn't say anything to death, and I can't back down."

Ever since he told Qi Xiang about this, there was no smile on Qi Xiang's face, and he was very annoyed that he didn't mean what he said, but there was indeed no more suitable one in the court.

Qi Xiang smiled, "How could I be angry with you, are you saying I'm narrow-minded?"

Qi Xiang was still able to joke, and Bai Junyu was also relieved, "Why? I'm just a little annoyed."

Qi Xiang patted his hand, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just thinking about how we should take precautions to be safe. If their uncle and nephew really deal with you, you will be the one who suffers."

"General Tiehe, the chief general at the border, is an old friend of my father, and it's not so easy for them to plot against me when they arrive at the border," Bai Junyu said.

"That's better. The queen killed Peng Liang, and the left minister is investigating again. Peng Ji doesn't know if he knows about it. If he knows, the third prince will dig a hole for himself, which is too risky. You can change to someone who is safer and Why did he go with Peng Ji? And uncle and nephew went to the battlefield together, it's good that the emperor didn't think too much, but if he thought too much, plus the influence of the leftist minister, he would definitely be more afraid, it's not appropriate. "Qi Xiang analyzed.

"That's right. Unless the third prince has other plans."

Qi Xiang thought for a while, and said, "Xi Ze, I have an idea, and I need your cooperation."

Naturally, Bai Junyu had no reason not to agree, "Say it, I'll listen."
