Chapter 29 South Korea Attacks Zhao
The wedding night of Zhao Huaining and Jiang Huanian passed away in resentment and anger. The two had a sleepless night. Early the next morning, Jiang Huanian got up to wash up. Zhao Huaining pretended to be asleep and enjoyed the moment of peace. He paused for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Zhao Huaining who was sleeping, couldn't bear to be disturbed, got up and went to open the door.

Qian'er walked in and said softly, "Yating invites His Majesty to come over to discuss matters!"

Jiang Huanian frowned, his white and tender face showed a hint of confusion, "Didn't you rest for three days?"

"Qian'er doesn't know, Lord Yating is very anxious."

Jiang Huanian was about to say something, but he heard Zhao Huaining get up, and heard him say: "You went back to Yating, I will go there later."

Qian'er responded and went out, the door was closed with a creak, Zhao Huaining came over lazily, with a smile in his eyes, he touched Jiang Huanian's soft waist that he couldn't bear to hold, and pulled her into his arms, warm Breathing on her face, she felt itchy and numb for a moment, Jiang Huanian was too shy to look at him, and lowered his head, Zhao Huaining's hand touched her chin from the black hair on top of her head, and lifted her face up , Looked and looked carefully, and said: "The eyebrows are like willow leaves, the eyes are like stars, and the skin is like fat. My Hua Niansheng has a good appearance and is extremely beautiful."

In fact, Jiang Huanian is only a middle-class talent, not the most beautiful, nor is she the most outstanding literary talent. Everyone looks up to her because she is the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Wei, and respects her as Miss Jiang. If it is not the most beautiful, then fight for the title of a dignified lady. Zhao Huaining praised her endlessly today, and suddenly felt that she had received great affirmation in her heart. She smiled shyly and looked up at the man in front of her. In such a cool morning, I found that I could see another side of him again.

Jiang Huanian then said, "My eyebrows are like distant mountains, and my eyes are like the deep sea. My husband is also a handsome man." The more she looked at her, the more she fell in love with Zhao Huaining. Yes, but there is a more mature atmosphere, not the usual sons and gentlemen, high-spirited and frivolous.

"Your Majesty, hurry up, I think there is something important to do." Jiang Huanian withdrew from his warm embrace, turned around to get the coat he took off last night, helped him to dress, and buckled the white jade belt for him , Zhao Huaining pressed her hand so that she hugged him from behind, unable to move, Zhao Huaining turned his face and said: "I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday."

Jiang Huanian smiled and said, "Last night I was also very sad. I felt that the most important wedding in my life was ruined, but now I suddenly don't feel that way."

"why?"

Jiang Huanian leaned forward, hugged him even tighter, and said lovingly: "Your Majesty treats me with so much tenderness, I have a lifetime to enjoy it slowly, why worry about that day."

"Hua Nian is open-minded, but I have to give you some compensation after all, otherwise I really feel ashamed of you."

Jiang Huanian smiled without saying a word, just enjoying his body temperature and the warmth of his hands being wrapped in peace.

Taking advantage of her tenderness, Zhao Huaining said, "The two side concubines of the palace have moved into the palace today, and they will come to see you later, just arrange a place for each of you, and my daughter Yuqi, enter the palace with them today." Zhao Huaining turned around and embraced her again, "Yuqi just lost her mother, if there is anything ignorant, you should take care of her."

Jiang Huanian raised his head from his arms, looked at him and said, "I will definitely treat her as my own, and I will never treat her in vain, but how should the two side concubines of your Majesty give their positions? I don't know which Majesty Which one do you like more?"

Zhao Huaining sneered and scratched her nose, "Little naughty, I'm jealous now. The two of them were appointed by my father to be my side concubine. There is no relationship. You can do whatever you want. Alright, I'm going to court."

When Jiang Huanian got this answer, he smiled contentedly, and personally sent him out the door. Watching him leave step by step, his figure disappearing around the corner, he went back to the bedroom and called Qian'er to come in to freshen up.

When Zhao Huaining arrived at the Chaoyang Palace, all the ministers were anxious and waited for a long time.

Before Zhao Huaining could sit still, General Xiao of the Military Aircraft Battalion hurriedly said, "Jicheng came to report today, and South Korea is attacking Jicheng with an army of [-]."

Zhao Huaining's eyebrows were slightly raised without any trace. It turned out that the South Korean army had arrived, and he pretended to be surprised, "What? South Korea has always been stable. This is because they took some wrong medicine and came to attack us!"

General Xiao said: "I think there is a change in the border security situation, and the rumor of treason spread to South Korea. South Korea wants to make a move, but now General Yuan is in the imperial city, and he still has a suspicious case on his body. It is not appropriate to return to Jicheng. It is important now. The most important thing is to send someone to Jicheng to lead the whole army to counterattack!"

Zhao Huaining looked thoughtful, and couldn't sit still on the dragon chair. He stood up and paced non-stop, "Yuan Wei'an has the talisman that can mobilize the Jicheng army. If he refuses to hand over power, whoever goes will be fine." useless."

Marquis Wei stood up and said, "In recent years, the Jicheng army has been like the private soldiers of his Yuan family. Now that South Korea is attacking our dynasty, if Yuan Wei'an harbors resentment towards His Majesty, what is Yuan Wei'an's intentions? It has to be reconsidered.”

What Wei Guohou said, Zhao Huaining was noncommittal, the ministers in the court looked at each other, and there were a few who were angry and wanted to say something fair, but in the end it was Cao Xiu who came forward first, Cao Xiu walked up to everyone with his head held high, and said: The first rank general, the ancestor of the Yuan family is the founding hero, the three generations of generals have never done anything wrong, and the general Yuan is only caught in a suspicious case, and there is no conclusion yet. At this time, it is too early to conclude that General Yuan has bad intentions, right? Moreover, the military talisman was bestowed by the former emperor, and the Jicheng army was also ordered to guard the frontier, so how could it become a private soldier? The Western Defense Battalion also has a [-] troops stationed, ranging from centurion commanders to forward generals and deputy generals. Most of them are surnamed Jiang, can they also be said to be Wei Guohou's private soldiers!"

During the conversation, Cao Xiu cast his eyes on Wei Guohou several times. Of course Wei Guohou knew that he was targeting him, but he was not angry at all, and said: "This Marquis has never said that General Yuan has bad intentions. General Yuan is so confident, then I would like to ask Master Cao to go to the prison to ask him for a military talisman. Before the national war, General Yuan is so loyal, he should not refuse to hand over power."

Only then did Cao Xiu realize that he had been duped, and before he could figure out how to respond, Zhang Yan from the Ministry of Rites stood up and said, "I should not have been involved in this matter by the Ministry of Rites, but Master Cao, as the official history of the admonishment platform, has also repeatedly served as the general of the Yuan Dynasty. Wang and the others made excuses, it doesn't matter if you want to say a few more words, the minister and Marquis Wei have the same thoughts, since General Yuan and Master Cao are so friendly, and General Yuan is willing to entrust you if you want to come, you just ask for the soldier talisman, and we will choose again Leading a good general, it won’t be too late to return it to General Yuan after defeating South Korea.”

Cao Xiu was in a hurry: "Zhang Yan! If you say that I, Cao Xiu, and General Yuan formed a party for personal gain, then you have to show evidence! Cursing around the corner here."

Zhang Yan spread his hands, and said with a rascal face, "I didn't say that you and General Yuan formed a party. Don't spit out blood. Besides, you just say that there are people from the Marquis of Wei in the Xiying army. Is there any proof that the battalion army is Lord Hou's private soldiers?"

Cao Xiu secretly scolded Zhang Yan as an old fox, dragged him into the water without any trace, and blamed Cao Xiu and Yuan Wei'an for forming a party, Cao Xiu only realized at this moment that he was being plotted by others, and several ministers surrounded Cao Xiu Even if Cao Xiu could speak eloquently, he would still be at a loss for words at this time.

Xiangguo Pei Yi opened her closed eyes, cleared her throat, and focused all the eyes around her. Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, Pei Yi has been silent in court, and she has nothing to do with herself, and she hangs her head high. So much so that the people present gradually forgot about this Xiangguo who is under one person and above ten thousand people. His faint voice was like thunder in Chaoyang Hall. Everyone quieted down. Pei Yi straightened her collar and said: " What are private soldiers? Private soldiers are those who are not in the government and are not on the register. They only obey orders from one person. The [-] Jicheng army and the [-] Xiying army are all registered elite soldiers. They have guarded the country for many years. I don’t believe it. Under Huang Shengming, there are disloyal people who only listen to the orders of one person. South Korea took the initiative to attack Jicheng. Could it be that without the order of soldiers, no one would fight back and kneel down and wait for South Korea to kill? As for you quarreling endlessly here? What do you want? Do you still want the soldier talisman that can mobilize the army in peacetime?"

Pei Yi really didn't make a sound, she became a blockbuster, and a series of rhetorical questions even slapped His Majesty in the face, because Zhao Huaining was the first to bring up the issue of the military talisman: "Civil servants like Cao Xiu and Zhang Yan don't understand, Wei Guo Hou has been fighting for the country for many years, don't you understand?"

Wei Guohou was left speechless by the question, Zhao Huaining smoothed things over, "According to Xiangguo's opinion, what should we do about this matter."

Pei Yi's back was straight, her eyes were sharp and confident, and she said: "I am willing to go to South Korea as an envoy to persuade the troops to retreat. As for the people who command the whole army, let's see the battle first. The deputy general of the Jicheng Army is not He took the position of lieutenant general for nothing.”

Zhang Yan was not ashamed at this time, and unexpectedly came to the front again, saying: "I believe that the empress dowager is the eldest princess of South Korea, and the emperor of South Korea is the empress dowager's younger brother, so the empress dowager can persuade her to make peace."

Zhao Huaining winked at Zhang Yan crazily, but Zhang Yan realized it too late, and Pei Yi immediately retorted, "The death of the superintendent is still pending, and the Empress Dowager is also involved in an unsolved case, I'm afraid it's not good for her to come forward." Bar."

Cao Xiu felt very unhappy at this time, and went forward to report, "The Taibu Order used the astrology to say that it is necessary to marry the daughter of the Marquis of Wei as the queen, so as to avoid the national calamity. Now there is King Anjing on the border. Also led troops to attack our country, it can be seen that what Taibu Ling said is not true, I want to impeach Taibu Ling based on this."

Zhao Huaining was so angry that he jumped, but he had no choice but to blame Zhang Yan for being stupid, rushing into the conversation, and no one could pull it out. As soon as Cao Xiu said this, some ministers in the court who didn't know the truth quietly put a steelyard in their hearts.

The first emperor died of a serious illness, and the empress dowager personally read out the edict Zhao Huaining succeeded to the throne, announcing that the chief supervisor died of a serious illness, the concubine Yuan was too ill to see anyone, Zhao Huaining's original concubine stumbled and fell off a cliff, Zhao Huaining, who lost his wife and father, took the name of astrology, Married the daughter of the Marquis of Wei, there were rumors on the frontier that Zhao Huaining forced the palace to rebel, and falsely passed on an edict to seize the throne. Immediately afterwards, Yuan Wei'an was imprisoned, and King Andu made a fuss about the Empress Dowager Ceremony, and the death of the prisoner was suspected. , South Korea raised troops to attack.

A series of things came out, and the truth gradually surfaced.

Zhao Huaining was a little afraid to look at Pei Yi's fiery gaze, and subconsciously avoided it. Pei Yi understood it, and only said goodbye, and left first.

In the haste of retreating, I even forgot that today I came to fetch the military talisman and decide on the commander-in-chief.
