After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

The two battle reports sent to the palace by the Ministry of War were both about Yunzhou, and they were not good news.

One is that a plague has appeared in the Yunzhou army, and thousands of people have been found to be infected.

The other said that Xirong troops were found outside Shibao City in the west of Yunzhou. About 3000 people were stationed ten miles outside the city, and there was no other action for the time being.

The Xirong is a nomadic tribe. Although they will cause chaos on the border from time to time, they have not formed large-scale wars in history, so the Dajing court has never taken them seriously.

But the situation today is different.

As soon as Dajing suffered a defeat at Beidi, Xirong went to the frontier. It is hard to believe that their move has nothing to do with Beidi.

Yunzhou had to allocate another part of its already stretched troops to deal with Xirong.

But this was not what worried Ye Qinghuai the most.She was most worried about the battle report about the plague.

It had been three or four months since Gu Haiwang set off for the expedition, and there was no news about the plague during these three or four months, so that everyone thought that the plague was over.

After the defeat, the plague appeared again, and Dajing's defense line was already on the verge of collapse, and it would collapse at the first touch.

Ye Qinghuai even felt that it was a drop in the bucket to support Yunzhou with He Qingchang's 1-strong army.

Ye Qinghuai is obviously not the only one who has such thoughts.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Yuansi and Gu Shihai unanimously proposed to send additional reinforcements to the front line of Yunzhou.

Chen Yuansi proposed to transfer 1 people from the Yingzhou Army, and Gu Shihai proposed to transfer 1 people from the Zhongzhou Army.

In this way, there will be [-] reinforcements in this dispatch.

In addition, Ye Qinghuai is still actively proposing that the imperial hospital will lead [-] imperial physicians and physicians from the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Center to join the army and go to the front with the army to prevent the plague.

The capital set off the next day, followed by Yingzhou Army and Zhongzhou Army.

In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs also pointed out that Gu Hai's expenditure on food and wages during the Northern Expedition far exceeded expectations, and he lost the battle after spending so much money, which shows that his ability is weak.

The Hubu stone stirred up waves.Immediately, some officials quoted scriptures saying that Gu Haiwang's crime was wronging the country, and any dynasty in history would have been doomed, so one person and one money should not be wasted on rescuing him as a prisoner.

Ye Qinghuai suppressed the matter, expressing that she would not make a conclusion.

At the end of the morning, Ye Qinghuai drank a bowl of medicinal soup in a hurry, and went to the Taiqing Pavilion to deal with various personnel and food matters without eating two bites.

She was busy until dark before returning to Jingshou Palace.

Back in the palace, Ye Qinghuai immediately wrote a letter to Tao Yuan.

She has two things for him to do.

Two things that no one else could do but him.

After the potion on the letter paper disappeared, Ye Qinghuai rolled up the letter and sealed it with wax, then called Li Baoquan in.

"Li Baoquan, you go out of the palace now and send this to Tao Yuan." She handed the sealed letter to Li Baoquan.

Li Baoquan responded, stuffed the letter into his sleeve, turned around and walked out the door without saying much.

When he walked to the door, Ye Qinghuai suddenly stopped him again.

"After you're done, go to Chongyifang again. There's a Lu residence next to Qinglong Temple." Ye Qinghuai's voice paused, and Li Baoquan looked back at her, only to see the emperor's expression hidden in the shadow of his forehead in the dark.

After a while, Ye Qinghuai continued: "Go pass on Lu Yanchen and let him enter the palace immediately."

Li Baoquan was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions, he responded and left the palace gate.

In the brightly lit main hall of Jingshou Palace, Ye Qinghuai sat alone at the desk, slowly clenched his fists tightly, and made a difficult decision.
-
"I agree with what you played earlier, sir."

Lu Yanchen, who was standing in front of the desk with his head down, suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai in surprise.

Ye Qinghuai also looked at him, there was no smile in her eyes, but she was very firm.

She picked up a prepared imperial decree from the case, stood up, walked to Lu Yanchen, and handed the imperial decree to him.

"Sir, take this and report to He Qingchang tomorrow." Ye Qinghuai's voice was a little tired.

Lu Yanchen unfolded the imperial decree, and saw that it was a line of handwriting written by Ye Qinghuai himself, and at the end was stamped with a lacquered seal——

Lu Yanchen, a scholar of the Taiqing Pavilion, is brave and resourceful, and he is a leader in the tigers and tigers. He ordered the Northern Expedition.

Lu Yanchen read it twice, but was still a little dazed.

From the moment he went to express Ding You's return home, he found that Ye Qinghuai was very unwilling to let him return to Yunzhou.

Therefore, when he went to the emperor's mausoleum to face the saint this time, and invited him to join the army, he was already prepared to invite him several times.

Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed to him so quickly.

"The position of Taiqingge University Bachelor does not conflict with the rank in the military. You don't have to resign, you just have to serve concurrently." Ye Qinghuai added.

Lu Yanchen looked up at Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai was looking at him with a complicated expression.

Lu Yanchen pondered for a while and asked, "If I leave the capital, can your majesty make arrangements for the safety of the capital?"

"There are Zhao Yinshi and Tao Yuan in Beijing, so it's not a big problem." She thought for a while, and then said, "I promise sir, I will never go out of the palace alone in the future."

She took two steps with her hands behind her back, and said: "I will carefully decide the candidate for the commander of Jingji Wei. Right now, Yunzhou is the key."

She stopped in her tracks and said, "Beidi and Chu Boliang came to Shengjing this time. I was negligent before, and I wanted to eradicate the influence of the Gu family in Beijing. I shouldn't have sent Gu Haiwang to lead this battle." Soldiers went to war."

Ye Qinghuai couldn't hide her self-blame in her words.

Seeing her blaming herself, Lu Yanchen said: "It's because I didn't tell His Majesty about Chu Boliang before that I made a big mistake."

Ye Qinghuai shook her head: "Mr. just knew that he had joined the army in Beidi. Who would have thought that he would have such a great influence on the war. Well, in the final analysis, my Dajing army is too weak."

Having said that, the two fell silent.

After a long while, Ye Qinghuai said: "Sir, today the emperor said that the imperial physician was sent to the army to prevent the plague. In fact, the plague has already broken out in the army, and thousands of people have already been infected."

Lu Yanchen's expression darkened.

Ye Qinghuai continued: "I met He Qingchang alone in the early morning. He said that this battle must be a hard one, and it is likely to seriously damage the vitality of my army and the whole country. It will not be relieved in the next few years."

She paused, and then said: "But this is a battle that has to be fought, and it is also a battle that can only be won but not lost. Sir, I ask you to defend Yunzhou, are you sure?"

Hearing this, Lu Yanchen folded the imperial decree in half and raised it above his head, bowed his head and said: "I will do my best to keep Yunzhou safe."

He spoke sonorously, like an oath.

Ye Qinghuai looked at his kneeling figure, and didn't let him flatten immediately.

"Mister once told me that you are here to assist Mingjun. If someone else is not sitting on the throne, Mr. will not enter Wenxuan Palace." After a long time, Ye Qinghuai asked, "Mr. is still like this now. Want to?"

Lu Yanchen paused for a short moment, and replied decisively: "Yes. If your Majesty does not sit on the throne, I will not be an official in the court."

He repeated it again.

Ye Qinghuai had already expected his answer, but hearing him say it in person would still give her some peace of mind.

She looked at Lu Yanchen, and suddenly realized that he always seemed to be like this in front of her, as humble as dust.Even in his previous life, when he led the rebels to the palace to force her to abdicate, he could also put on such a humble gesture.

Ye Qinghuai's eyes accidentally touched the black jade belt around his waist.

An inexplicable question suddenly popped up in her heart.

I don't know if there is still that secret bag sewn inside this jade belt?And is there still that note inscribed by her in that secret pocket?

The note that read "The mountains have trees, and the trees have branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king, but the king doesn't know it".

Ye Qinghuai raised the hem of her clothes, and half knelt down opposite Lu Yanchen.She put her hands on his shoulders and made him look up at her.

There is only an arm between the two.

"Sir, that was the request of the emperor of Dajing to you just now. As Ye Qinghuai, I only have two requests from you."

"No matter what happens, promise me," the emperor's eyes were full of expectation, but Lu Yanchen saw deep worry and fear in that expectation.

Then, he heard Ye Qinghuai slowly spit out four words: "Alive, come back."
