Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 140
The day after Wan Dong handed over the fabric and requirements for making clothes to Shang Gongju, Jiang Man learned from Emperor Yong'an that Jiang Fu had returned.

Jiang Man had just been happy for two days. Before Jiang Fu and the group returned to Beijing, the atmosphere in the previous court became tense. Nanban launched a small-scale attack on Dajing. Although there were basically no casualties on both sides of the attack, the This attack was like a signal that Nanban officially declared war on Dajing.

In the court, everyone was arguing endlessly. Some people suggested that peace talks should be carried out first. After all, Dajing’s current situation is really not suitable for a war with the Nanman.Some people think that Dajing has never been afraid of war. Since the Nanman country dared to provoke, Dajing should beat Nanman back fiercely, and let the people of Nanman know that Dajing is not easy to provoke.

Emperor Yong'an waited until the quarrel between the main peace faction and the main war faction was almost over, and then said leisurely: "Dajing doesn't have a princess to marry, what you have to consider now is how to fight this battle, not whether to fight this battle. "

As soon as Emperor Yong'an said this, the ministers of the Zhuhe faction immediately frowned and said: "Your Majesty, think twice, although our state treasury is not as empty as before, but the current money can't support a few wars, not to mention that once we and When the Southern Man fights, Beicang, Xiling, and even Dongli may take the opportunity to attack us, and then we will be attacked by the enemy, and it will be difficult to retreat completely."

Emperor Yong'an glanced at the speaking minister lightly, and said: "Don't you think that if we negotiate peace with Nanman, there will be no enemy? That will only fuel the arrogance of Nanman and other countries. Jackals can't be fed enough. The way to subdue it is to beat it hard, it hurts, and if it is scared, he will naturally know who to provoke and who not to provoke."

"Can……"

Also, if the ministers of the peace faction said something, Emperor Yong'an looked over sharply and said: "You should believe in the ability of the Duke of England, but it is just a small southern barbarian country. How can he be the opponent of the Duke of England? The ground can prevent the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians from stepping into our Dajing territory, right? British Duke?"

When he said the last sentence, Emperor Yong'an's eyes had already turned to the British Palace.

The British Duke stepped forward silently, and said: "I am sure that I am worthy of the trust of the emperor and the minister. I will definitely expel the Nanman people, and I will never let them get involved in our Dajing city."

"With the words of the British Duke, I am relieved."

In a few words, Emperor Yong'an not only made a decision to fight the Nanman Kingdom, but also made a decision on who would lead the troops to fight.

There is no dispute about the person who leads the troops. After all, Jing Chao has no better candidate for leading troops to fight except the British Gong Jiangsu.

After the people who lead the troops are settled, it's about food and grass.

Before the soldiers and horses move the food and grass, the food and grass are very important in the process of the war between the two countries. Emperor Yong'an handed over the food and grass to the father of Concubine Gao Xian, Zuodu Yushi Gao Zong, and ordered a new one to enter the court. The young official served as Gao Zong's deputy.

When Jiang Man received the news in the harem, Concubine Jiang Gui had already been unconfined.

Jiang Man didn't pay much attention to Concubine Jiang's lifting the ban, but murmured worriedly: "Are we going to fight again?"

Wars are the most costly and costly. Jiang Man doesn't want to fight, but she also knows that it's not something she can't do if she doesn't want it.

Even if Jiang Man doesn't know much about government affairs, she knows that only if she wins this battle well, will she have a stable life in the future.

Wan Dong and Lian Qiu comforted Jiang Man and said, "Master, don't worry, we have a strong army, and we will definitely defeat Nanman."

"Yes, master, worrying about your body, you are a double body now, and we can't help you with these matters in the previous court. Master, you only need to take care of your body, and don't let the emperor be busy with the political affairs of the previous court. It's justified to worry about you."

Jiang Man smiled, and comforted Wan Dong and Lian Qiu, "I know, you don't have to worry about me."

There are not many people in the harem who really pay attention to the war, and more people focus on the matter of Concubine Jiang's lifting of the ban.

In the Lama Temple, Lianqiao sighed and said: "The concubine Jiang was lifted at this juncture because the emperor still wants to use the Duke of England. In this case, if the Duke of England returns from victory, it is not uncommon for the emperor to make Concubine Jiang the queen in order to reward the Duke of England. possible."

Lianxiang and Lianqiao had completely different views on Concubine Jiang's release of her confinement, she shook her head and said, "Impossible, if the emperor really wants to make Concubine Jiang a queen, he can do so right now. Concubine Jiang is the empress, this can still appease the Duke of England, since the emperor has not done so now, it means that he has no intention of making Concubine Jiang the empress."

Lianqiao said: "You can't say that. The emperor must have a valid reason to confer Concubine Jiang as empress. Now, what reason will the emperor use to confer Concubine Jiang as empress? But when the British Duke returns from victory It's different."

Lianxiang asked back, "What's the difference? After all, it's because of the Duke of England. If the emperor really wants to confer, it's not the same if he confers early or late."

"Of course it's different." Lianqiao said, "You're talking about the situation where the emperor himself wants to confer Concubine Jiang as Empress. In this case, of course, it's the same whether it's late or early, but there's another situation that you haven't considered. That is, the emperor had no choice but to confer the concubine Jiang as empress. If the Duke of England can come back victorious this time, his reputation will definitely be the same for a while. Naturally, many people will mention the matter of empress. It’s to appease the Duke of England and the heroes and generals behind him, so I’m afraid they have to agree to make Concubine Jiang the empress.”

"Shouldn't this happen?" Although Lianxiang said so, she also had such worries in her heart.

After she finished speaking uncertainly, she looked at Concubine Gao Xian again, and said, "Madam, does Concubine Jiang really have a chance to sit on the Empress's seat?"

If Concubine Jiang really became a queen, why not bother with them in Lama Temple all day long?
Just now when Lianxiang and Lianqiao were talking, Concubine Gao Xian didn't intervene, she just listened on the sidelines. Now when Lianxiang asked, Concubine Gao Xian put down the teacup in her hand, shook her head and said, "Jiang Guifei can't be Queen's."

Concubine Gao Xian was too sure, both Lianxiang and Lianqiao were surprised, "Why are you so sure?"

Concubine Gao Xian chuckled, because Emperor Yong'an was not an emperor who could be easily manipulated. She didn't have a clear understanding of this before, but after experiencing the incident with the sixth princess, she understood that Yong'an Emperor is far more unfathomable than all of them thought.
