Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 590 Caution

Taozhou.

Military generals from various states gathered at Prince Yu's Mansion in the city.

King Yu hasn't spoken yet, and the generals are sitting there quietly waiting.

Xiao Yu was still reading the news sent by the scouts.

Among the crowd of military generals, Xue Ding couldn't help it anymore and wanted to speak several times. He had a short temper. Before King Yu's identity was revealed, he rushed to the rescue. He was unwilling to talk to Zhu Youqing and lied that he had it. Wrong talk, then without saying a word, he killed Zhu Youqing with an excuse. To be honest, at that time, he actually thought that if King Yu was not dead, he would overthrow the court and put King Yu on the throne.

Later, he followed Princess Changle and King Yu to fight against the Tubo people and made great achievements. Now King Yu has a vassal territory. He and General Zhou are guarding Gongzhou and Xizhou respectively. A few days ago, he received a letter saying that the Prime Minister I took my whole family to guard the imperial mausoleum.

At that time, Xue Ding knew that something big was going to happen, but he was not afraid, but rather excited.

Xiao Yu raised his head and glanced at Xue Ding, who couldn't sit still, indicating that he could speak.

"What do you mean by guarding the imperial mausoleum?"

"Even if it is because of the prince's impeachment, he will try his best to keep his son in the capital and inherit his prime minister's palace."

It is not normal for the Prime Minister to move his family.

Xiao Yu said: "It's true that the people from the Prime Minister's Palace went to the imperial mausoleum, but the Prime Minister came directly to the west of Beijing with his second son."

Huaiguang continued: "We also mobilized soldiers and horses from various places along the way."

Xue Ding almost jumped up: "That old guy, King Xiang, really has no good intentions. Fortunately, the prince was prepared in advance. He released the scouts long ago and stocked up food and grass for the vassal."

"From the day the Prime Minister left the capital, the imperial court should have known what he was here for," General Zhou said calmly, "The Grand Master did not stop him. It seems he secretly agreed."

Speaking of this, General Zhou showed a disappointed look: "The Prime Minister's affairs have been exposed. The Grand Master is using the Prime Minister to deal with the prince."

The imperial court has been like this in recent years. When something goes wrong, it never tries to find a way to solve it. Instead, it secretly resorts to some shady conspiracies.

General Zhou felt more and more that it was right for him to serve King Yu.

"The prince wrote a memorial to question the old man, the grand master," Xue Ding said, "Let's see what the court says? What is the purpose of the prime minister's move?"

Xiao Yu said: "The documents from the imperial court have been sent."

As he spoke, Xiao Yu threw the memorial to Xue Ding: "The Grand Master said that the Prime Minister left Taizu's order and left the capital. The imperial court thought that he was trying to escape guilt. Unexpectedly, he would gather troops and horses to come to the west of Beijing. The imperial court had already sent If someone goes to stop the Prime Minister, he will be brought back to the capital for interrogation."

It sounded like that, but Xue Ding took a breath.

Xue Ding looked at the crowd and said, "Do you believe it? To stop the Prime Minister from returning is clearly a delaying strategy to give the Prime Minister time to lead his men to surround the vassal territory."

No one spoke a word, but the expressions on their faces told everything that they thought so.

Xue Ding stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, at last I would like to be a pioneer and take the Prime Minister's head and present it to Your Majesty."

Nie Ping frowned. He was plotted by Xue Ding without paying attention. This guy acted hard to win the championship and was full of righteous indignation, but in fact it was just for them to see.

Xue Ding's purpose is not to vent at all, but to be a vanguard.

Nie Ping stood up without caring about anything else: "I would like to lead a thousand people to the west of Beijing to attack the Prime Minister first."

As the generals of the Wuwei Army asked for orders one after another, only the mature and prudent General Zhou did not fight. He stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and said slowly: "Although the first battle is important, we cannot act rashly. Since the Prime Minister is a bait, we must pay attention. The Grand Master who holds the bait." The Prime Minister would never dare to send troops based on the King himself.

General Zhou said: "They want to use the Prime Minister to besiege the vassal territory. They think that our vassal territory is short of rice, food and ordnance. If they continue to consume it like this, even if they can't empty it all at once, they will be tied up."

General Zhou has confidence in Prince Yu. The vassal territory under Prince Yu is obviously different from before. Not to mention a large pasture has been opened in the northwest of Taozhou, and one-third of Tubo's land is currently under investigation. Under Shuo's control, the things the vassal region needs can be continuously sent from Tubo.

Merchants came and went from the domain, buying a lot of furs and sending a lot of money, most of which were exchanged for grain and stored in Aocang.

Prince Yu and Princess Yu had obviously started making preparations early. General Zhou still couldn't see through Prince Yu's plans, but he felt that Prince Yu would definitely not be led away by the Grand Master.

Xiao Yu looked at Nie Ping: "You lead a thousand people as vanguards and go to Lizhou to deploy troops."

When Xue Ding heard this, his face changed, as if someone had taken away his beloved thing, and he said eagerly: "Your Majesty, the last general...and the last general..."

Xiao Yu glanced at Xue Ding: "Do you also want to be a vanguard?"

Xue Ding nodded. If the prince didn't agree, he would have to go back and ask his wife to find the princess. He would have to do this job anyway because he was shameless.

"It's not impossible... Fengxiang Mansion still needs to deploy manpower."

Xue Ding's eyes lit up and his expression softened.

"However, there is one request," Xiao Yu's eyes darkened, "No troops are allowed to be sent without my military order. Is it possible for you to do it?"

Xue Ding just wanted to agree. Needless to say, who dares to disobey the prince's military orders?

Xiao Yu said: "Even if the imperial troops arrive in front of you, as long as I don't nod, you have to endure it. Is it possible for you to do it?"

Xue Ding's temperament is there. If he really encounters such a situation, he will find it particularly difficult.

Xue Ding hesitated and did not speak. Xiao Yu turned away and looked at Old General Zhou, like a big dog about to be kicked out. Also obey the prince's orders, if you dare to disobey, you will be subject to the prince's military law."

Suffocating to death was better than fighting without a chance. Xue Ding was cruel and decided that even if he blew himself up, he would still have to take over the job.

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, but still warned: "Since I have given you an errand, don't let your wife go looking for the princess."

Xue Ding's face turned red, but he still smiled shamelessly: "No, no."

The generals laughed.

When he walked out of the house, Xue Ding still couldn't believe it. The prince was just waiting for the Prime Minister? Isn't it better to strike first?

Xue Ding took advantage of others not paying attention, grabbed Huaiguang, dragged him to the corner and whispered: "Tell me, what did the prince tell you to do?"

In his opinion, Huaiguang will definitely be assigned more important things.

Huaiguang thought for a while and then whispered: "Follow the princess."

"What?"

Huaiguang said: "We follow the princess's orders."

After speaking, without waiting for Xue Ding to ask any more questions, Huaiguang said, "I'm going to find the princess right now, so I won't accompany you."

Xue Ding looked at Huaiguang's back, so what happened with the princess was more important?

In fact, what Xue Ding didn't know was that even Huaiguang didn't quite understand what the prince was thinking this time. The prince was obviously acting differently from the past. It should be said that he was more cautious. Huaiguang felt that he was a little too cautious.
