Chapter 228 Find the right direction
Far away in the imperial city, the people who came to deliver the edict had not rushed back yet, but the emperor estimated the date and knew that they would definitely arrive. After learning that Xiao Yu had returned to his fiefdom, there were people flying pigeons on the way to deliver the message.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest."

It was rare for the emperor to stay at the queen's place. He stayed up late at night, so the queen took care of him carefully.

"I don't know if King Wu Quan has reached the border. Another low report came from the border today, saying that Xihe has increased its troops. It seems that they are planning to attack Dahao. I can't sleep."

At this time, the only person who could make him feel at ease was Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu was at the border, so he was not afraid of Xihe attacking Dahao, because he knew that no matter what, Xiao Yu would never be able to join forces with Xihe to judge Dahao. If he had expelled Da Hao and allowed Xihe to give up the time of attacking Da Hao, his prestige in the army would be even greater than before, and it would be even harder for him to attack him openly.

We can only do it secretly. At this time, Xiao Yu cannot obey his orders and come back. There is no place to restrain him now. The old princess also went to the fiefdom together. The sky is high and the emperor is far away.

"Your Majesty, Xihe Langzi's ambition has been planned for a long time. He wants to catch us off guard, but our Dahao is not that easy to bully. The soldiers on the front line will definitely resist with all their might. Didn't the Emperor also mobilize troops and horses to guard? Supplies of food and grass We are already prepared and on the way, even if Xihe really starts a war, we will not be afraid."

The empress knew that although the emperor hoped that King Wu Quan would arrive at the border quickly, he was also afraid that Xiao Yu would stay in the fiefdom instead of returning to the imperial city after he gathered his troops and respected himself.

"That's it, but once this battle starts, you don't know when it will end. After all, Xihe has been preparing for so many years. I'm afraid this time it won't be a slapstick fight. The army... Hey, I really thought about it, but Among the generals sent to rush for reinforcements, I didn’t know who to choose for a while.”

"The ministers and concubines in the court don't know so much. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Our Dahao is full of talents. With so many generals in the army, we can always find one or two suitable ones. It's inconvenient for me to say more about the ministers and concubines in the court. But here, King Wu Quan, I would like to say a few more words, please don’t blame the emperor.”

The Queen probed slowly and carefully looked at it.

"It doesn't matter, tell me. There is no one else here. You are the queen, and you are different from the other concubines in the harem. You just want to say a few words and treat it as chatting with me."

"Your Majesty, my concubine said that, your Majesty, I feel that this time King Wu Quan went directly to the fiefdom without saying hello, and even took the old princess and the princess with him. This matter is a bit too much. Although he is He took leave of absence from the city, but he didn't say that he was going to a fiefdom. It was a big deal for the king to go to the fiefdom, and the court must know about it. Is his behavior unconforming to the ancestral system? Besides, the fiefdom was remote and the old princess was old. He He is young and immature, so we have to think for him. After all, he is also a member of the royal family. He is about to go to war with Xihe. We don’t know how long the war will last. Should we take the old princess and the others back to take care of him? In this way, Wu It’s good that Quan Wang has no worries outside, right?”

The queen's meaning was very clear. Why didn't the emperor support Xiao Yu to go to the gap at the border and 'pick up' the old princess and the others? Could it be that the emperor had ordered someone to pick them up, but they dared not to come back? As long as the princess is here, you don't have to worry about Xiao Yu not coming back, right?

The emperor glanced at the queen and became more and more unable to sleep. He sighed, "The queen doesn't know something. Our ancestors said when they gave the fiefdom that Prince Wu Quan's Mansion can go to the fiefdom at any time. And the queen may not know that the fiefdom mausoleum Sichuan has a vast territory and rich resources, and it is also close to the border. It is only three to five days' journey. If you ride a horse, it will only take three days. It is much closer than the imperial city. Xiao Yu is at the border, only close to the old princess and the others. I will let you go now. Can Xiao Yu agree to pick them up? I'm afraid the old princess won't follow them back easily, not to mention that Lingchuan is guarded by 20,000 Qilin troops."

What?
The queen was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. Our ancestors have regulations that there must be no private soldiers in the fiefdom, and the establishment must not exceed a thousand people. What is King Wu Quan doing with twenty thousand troops in the fiefdom?"

The emperor was completely speechless. The queen must have been so surprised because she didn't know the details.

"Queen, do you know where that mausoleum is?" The queen looked confused. Isn't it the fiefdom of Prince Wuquan? She didn't know what her ancestors thought, but she actually gave such a fiefdom, and it was such a good place. At first, she thought that Lingchuan was remote and just like the neighboring fiefdoms of the princes, it was a place of poverty, wasn't it?

She really hadn't asked about this carefully before.

"Lingchuan is the birthplace of the Kirin Army... The Kirin Army has nothing to do with the royal family. It was an army formed by the ancestor of Prince Wuquan in Lingchuan. Later it grew stronger and became the Kirin Army. Later, the ancestor emperor Give him Lingchuan as a fiefdom, because the court has no control over that place. "

"In this case, we couldn't have let it go." If this had been solved at that time, the emperor would not be so embarrassed now. Why should he manipulate the Wuquan Palace like this? It is the birthplace of the Qilin Army, and it cannot be left behind. He was granted a fiefdom...what do you think?

It's strange that the emperor has been silent for so long, so that's what happened.

The emperor smiled bitterly and lay down with his hands on the pillow. He was really riding a tiger now. Xiao Yu would definitely not trust him again, but he should not rebel easily. But if he made up his mind, how should he deal with it? What we have to look at now is not only the border issue, but also the troublesome Xiao Yu.

"I want my concubine to say that Luo Yunyan was responsible for everything. If it hadn't been for her..."

As the queen said this, she suddenly said something unintentionally. She just thought of it and said it.

After hearing these words, the emperor suddenly sat up in shock. He remembered Tian Buji's words. Tian Buji said that the woman's fate was different, and he would contribute to Xiao Yu's emperor's fate. Their fates were complementary to each other. , which is the so-called match made in heaven, how great Xiao Yu's fortune will be in the future is closely related to that Luo Yunyan.

He couldn't issue an imperial order to recall them, but... he could keep Xiao Yu out of the fiefdom and let people secretly attack the woman. As long as the woman died, Xiao Yu's destiny would also change, and then he would It can be resolved without killing Xiao Yu...

Yes, he had always focused on Xiao Yu before, but he didn't expect this.

He had sent people to the fiefdom a long time ago, with the purpose of provoking a disagreement between the Wuquan Palace and those in charge of the fiefdom. They were in civil strife, could not manage the fiefdom well, and would cause some trouble for Xiao Yu, making it difficult for him to achieve big things in the fiefdom. It seems that these The people sent there were put to good use and asked them to find a way to get rid of the woman.

Thinking that the emperor had already gotten up.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, where are you going?"

"I suddenly remembered that there are still a few memorials to be processed. Queen, please go to bed first. I won't be here for a while. It's too late, so I don't want to disturb you."

The emperor said, ignoring the confused queen behind him and left directly, and he quickly sent someone to deliver the message.
