After the prince enters the play

277 Chapter 277: If you are ruthless, I will be ruthless
On this day, Su Xinyi couldn't wait for the prince to return to Deyang Palace, and asked Zhang Jian to come back and send her a letter, telling her not to worry, and to rest earlier.

Su Xinyi knew that the prince must be very busy with the sudden siege of the city by the Tatars, so she naturally couldn't distract His Highness at this time.

Su Xinyi suppressed the irritability in her heart, went to the study to look through the handwriting left by her father for a while, and returned to the bedroom when her mood calmed down.

The more this is the case, the less you can be anxious, you have to calm down, have a good rest, and deal with emergencies at any time.

***
In the early morning of the next day, as the door of the Zichen Palace was opened, the civil and military ministers in court uniforms entered the main hall in two groups.

Civil and military stood on one side, looking at each other, a tense atmosphere continued to hover in the hall.

"kneel!"

All the ministers bowed down to meet the emperor and shouted long live my emperor.

"rise!"

All the ministers got up one after another, and everyone's eyes looked around calmly. Many people's eyes fell on the prince who was listening to the government, and then turned their eyes away, thinking about His Majesty's expression at this time.

After the announcement, there was a brief silence in the hall again. The civil servants seemed to be waiting for the general to speak first, but today is also strange, a group of generals are like clam shells.

"Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do."

The sound of the announcement sounded again, and Lu Mengliang, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out, his voice slightly lowered, "Your Majesty, I have received an urgent report from the border. Tatar soldiers are approaching Zhangping Mansion. They claim that there are 20 coalition troops. Zhangping Mansion is in danger. Please His Majesty sent troops to support."

As soon as Lu Mengliang's voice fell, Yao Gongda, the governor of the right, immediately sneered, and the generals of the right squad also glared.

Who was clamoring not long ago that Zhangping Mansion is very stable, and there is no need for the imperial court to send troops to waste money and food.

The atmosphere above the court was frozen for a while.

The prince lowered his eyes and remained silent.

His Majesty sitting on the dragon chair did not say a word, and the courtiers inevitably felt a little uneasy. What does Your Majesty mean by this?
Where is the prince?
Why didn't the prince speak?
Both His Majesty and the Crown Prince should attach great importance to such a major event.

The civil servants and military generals quarreled for a while, but they faintly realized that something was wrong, and gradually quieted down.

The civil servant opened his mouth, he was right, and he was wrong. With a touch of his mouth, he could easily grasp the law and order of the court, with countless famous quotes and allusions.

But today, this group of military generals is not quite right, and they are determined not to talk to civil servants, and never give them a chance to step on their faces and feel proud.

In short, whether they don't ask or understand the affairs of the Tatar Chen Bing Zhangping Mansion, it is all up to His Majesty's will.

As for the civil servant's deliberate provocation?

Oh, didn't see it.

If there is another wrong word, they may be charged with dishonesty, conspiracy, and deception. They are afraid that they will really roll up their sleeves and fight desperately with these villains!

On the dragon chair, His Majesty's eyes flickered, his eyes swept over the prince who was still drooping, and he tapped the dragon chair with his fingers, his face was dark and stormy.

"My dear friends, do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

The emperor finally spoke, but it was obviously a question as usual, but it made people feel creepy for no reason. Even Yu Shi, who had always been at the forefront of impeaching courtiers, shrank his neck at this time.

"No one speaks? Didn't they quarrel very fiercely before? I have always accepted the words of your love ministers, and today I am waiting for your love minister's plan to defeat the enemy. Why don't you talk about it at this time?"

Say?
say what?
Let me talk about how to stop sending troops to help Zhangping Mansion?But what if the Tatars really break through the city?
When the time comes, who will bear His Majesty's anger?

Once the Zhangping mansion is breached, the enemy will be able to drive straight in. This is not a good thing. The great rivers and mountains in the Central Plains will face the trampling of the enemy's cavalry.

Everyone's eyes fell on Prime Minister Wang. Last time the courtiers quarreled, but Prime Minister Wang kept silent. Now it has become a life-saving straw for civil servants.

Prime Minister Wang seemed to have noticed the twinkling gazes of his colleagues, he sighed inwardly, raised his head and stepped out, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Sure." The emperor glanced at Prime Minister Wang before he spoke.

"Your Majesty, the importance of the Zhangping Mansion cannot be ignored. Now that the Tatars are claiming 20 coalition troops outside the Chen Bing Pass, I think that reinforcements should be sent immediately..."

Prime Minister Wang obviously came prepared, talked with eloquence, and quoted circumstantial evidence. He neither mentioned the matter of his colleagues who justly refused to send troops to Zhangping Mansion, nor did he ridicule the military officer for his dedication to meritorious service. At this moment, the military commander looked at him quite pleasingly.

Zheng Guogong's mouth twitched, old and cunning Wang Yanxiu!
He knew that he must be the one who ended up in the end.

Now that Prime Minister Wang has spoken out, Zheng Guogong must not continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, if reinforcements are made, who will lead the three armies? Although the old minister is willing to share your majesty's worries, it's just that the old illness has relapsed, and it may be difficult to go on an expedition. I don't regret my life, I'm afraid of delaying your majesty's plan."

As soon as Zheng Guogong said this, there was a lot of discussion in the court, especially the civil servants still thought that Zheng Guogong would be in charge this time. After all, it was him last time, and it was probably him this time.

But now Zheng Guogong politely refused, which suddenly disturbed everyone's minds. If Zheng Guogong can't lead the army, who can lead the three armies?

Yao Gongda?Chen Gong?

Xiong Bingyuan?Zhao Xin?

Or Xu Yanshou, Guo Meng?

The prestige of these people is not enough to be compared with Zheng Guogong. I am afraid that they will not be able to be subdued, and they may cause civil strife.

At this time, the civil servants were dumbfounded. They didn't want the generals to make meritorious service again and again, so they opposed the reinforcement of Zhangping Mansion. But now Zheng Guogong can't go out, and the commander of the three armies suddenly has no suitable candidates.

I was uneasy and a little panicked.

There was another dispute in the court over the issue of the commander. Not only did the civil servants have fellow-citizens, classmates, and the same family, but there were also differences among military attache factions.

The early court failed to reach a result, and the emperor withdrew in anger.

Yan Junchu didn't speak to anyone, and directly led them back to the East Palace.

’ Huang Zhongsheng, Xu Mengshu and others had already been waiting, seeing the prince returned to the East Palace, they immediately greeted him.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

Yan Junchu waved his hand and stopped everyone from speaking, "You all go back first and wait for Gu's call."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and after returning to the gods, His Highness had strode away.

Xu Mengshu frowned and looked at Huang Zhongsheng, "Master Huang, what's the matter, Your Highness? How can you wait for such a big event?"

Huang Zhongsheng shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid that today's court meeting will not go well, and His Highness is not worried."

The two looked at each other, worried.

Yan Junchu didn't go to the Mingguang Palace, but went directly to the Deyang Palace. He didn't let the palace servants report, and walked in under pressure. Through the window, he saw Su Xinyi writing at his desk. He didn't know what he was writing.

As soon as Yan Junchu stood there, he saw Su Xinyi turn his head, and the two looked at each other.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Junchu saw Su Xinyi striding over, standing in front of the window and smiling at him, "Your Highness."

Yan Junchu's anger in his heart dissipated a little, and he said to Su Xinyi: "Today, the civil servants will lead the battle."

Su Xinyi was taken aback for a moment, and then her face turned ugly. She somewhat understood where the prince's anger was.

Previously, the civil servants used various reasons to prevent sending troops to Zhangping Mansion, but at that time there were only rumors that the Tatars sent troops and the news was not confirmed, but now they changed their attitude once it was confirmed.

The character of the literati is simply a joke to them.

These people have studied for many years and are determined to serve the country, but it is a pity that few of them can remember their original ambitions after becoming officials.

"Your Highness may have expected it long ago. If this is the case, why bother to get angry? It's not worth it to hurt yourself." Su Xinyi took the initiative to hold Yan Junchu's hand this time, "Since the civil servants are in charge of the battle, is the commander of the three armies determined?"

Yan Junchu shook his head, "Duke Zheng's old illness has relapsed, and he is unable to go on an expedition."

Su Xinyi was stunned. This is really not good news. However, His Highness has always wanted to lead the army. Now that Zheng Guogong is unable to lead the army, and there are still some shortages of other military officers and commanders, the possibility of His Highness going out is much greater.

Her heart was pounding, and she couldn't help but tighten her Highness's hand.

Yan Junchu looked at her with a sudden change of expression, but suddenly smiled, "Worried about me?"

This time, Su Xinyi lost all her reserve and shyness. She held onto the prince's hand and refused to let go. She said bluntly, "Of course I'm worried. Your Highness is not only the crown prince of a country, but also my husband. How can you not be worried?"

Yan Junchu was taken aback. This was the first time Su Xinyi said such straightforward and bold words. She has always been a person who does not talk about emotions...

Yan Junchu really smiled this time, "Qingqing admires me, and I am very happy."

Su Xinyi: ...

She really wanted to cover her face, but she didn't do that, and she didn't flinch from looking at the prince, "His Royal Highness, are you prepared?"

Yan Junchu nodded, "You know I had this intention long ago, so I was naturally prepared."

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

She also wanted to go out with His Highness, but His Majesty was sad about that.

Things were hopeless, and she didn't want to say anything that would only increase His Highness's troubles.

Thinking of this, she suddenly turned around and took a booklet from the desk case, and felt that it was strange to hand it to the prince through the window, so she went straight out the door, stood in front of the prince, and passed the booklet with both hands, "Your Highness, this booklet There is a map of part of Tatar that I sorted out, as well as battles that I fought several times. In addition, I also made a new map of the place where the caravan passed by before. Your Highness, you can compare it with the map in the army. draw conclusions."

Yan Junchu was startled, he looked down at the brochure that Su Xinyi handed over, it was as thick as a finger, and the cover was very new, it looked like it was made recently.

He didn't accept the brochure, but embraced him with the brochure.

"A Yuan, you treat me hard, and I will never let you down."

Ever since Su Xinyi married Yan Junchu, he always loved to hold her hand, tease her, and hug her. She used to feel embarrassed and shy, and never hugged him seriously. This time, she stretched out her hands to wrap around Yan Junchu's waist. .

If she couldn't accompany her this time, then the parting would last for a long time. At this moment, she suddenly realized that in just a short period of time, the weight of His Highness in her heart was even heavier.

Yan Junchu felt Su Xinyi's response, and the smile between his brows and eyes became stronger, and he said with a smile: "Can't bear me?"

He just wanted to tease her.

"Reluctant."

In the past, she always avoided such answers, with a glowing face and shyness, but this time she answered so decisively, which surprised Yan Junchu.

Always remember, there will be reverberations.

As long as you persevere, there will always be rewards.

Yan Junchu was in a good mood and had lunch with Su Xinyi before returning to Chongming Hall. Huang Zhongsheng and others were already there, and when they saw His Highness, they immediately surrounded him.

The three armies cannot be without a commander. Regarding the question of the commander, there was a fierce quarrel among the civil servants and generals in the morning of the next day. Until the prince came out to intercede and the emperor led the army to go out, the whole hall fell silent instantly.

A few of the civil servants looked unhappy, and they were about to move and tried to stop them, but they hesitated and did not move.

The general also has a toothache. The prince leads the army... The prince has never led the army before. This war is no joke.

In the harem, the news of this time was soon known, and the expressions of all the concubines were different.

In Yuanhui Palace, the Queen's face was really ugly, she said to Zhao Mama, "I just said why I let my son go south, the feelings are here."

The prince commanding the three armies?

The prince will not fight. If His Majesty agrees, he will definitely be assigned a deputy commander. At that time, the prince will make an appearance. If he returns with a big victory, it will be extremely beneficial to his reputation.

Really good calculation.

If his son is still there, His Majesty may still be hesitant for a while, that's why the crown prince bewitched him to go south?
The more the queen thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, and she only hated that she had no evidence to reveal the true face of the prince.

But how could the queen only make herself feel bad about this kind of thing, and immediately sent someone to send a message to Concubine Li Gui, expressing her pity for King Xiang gracefully.

Concubine Li Gui's heart was beating with anger, she knew it was the empress' provocation, but she just couldn't suppress her anger.

Concubine Li Gui obviously wanted to go with the empress, and the prince would not know how to fight, so His Majesty would definitely send someone to assist the prince. If he returned with a big victory, the prince's prestige would definitely rise to a higher level. Naturally, this was not what Concubine Li Gui expected.

Thinking of what her son said before, Concubine Li Gui's heart trembled. She didn't agree with taking risks before, but this time she was obviously angry.

They are all His Majesty's sons, and His Majesty's partiality is too obvious.

She took a deep breath, looked at Jinzhan beside her and ordered: "Go and invite King Xiang."

She wants to discuss this matter with her son, and she must stop the prince from leading the army. If she can't stop it, then she won't stop her son's previous thoughts.

Your Majesty is ruthless, so we can't blame her for being ruthless.

Concubine Li Gui was sitting in the palace, her long nails pierced her palms, if there was some sharp pain, her mind slowly settled down.

Once I made up my mind and thought about it again, I felt clear in my mind.

It's just that the empress wanted to use their mother and child, so of course she would not do what the empress wished. Concubine Li Gui called Yinbei again and gave some instructions in a low voice.

Yinbei bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants will definitely take care of it."
