The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 777 The Worst Answer
Even though Dongying Kingdom and Dayan Kingdom are not good friends from generation to generation, they have always kept the river in check. The east side is the place where the emperor is most at ease. Yan.

Dongying Kingdom only has three capital cities, and compared with Dayan, it is like a rooster and a caterpillar. Logically speaking, even if Dongying Kingdom had a hundred courage, they would not dare to attack Dayan. Unless... someone backs them up!
Just like what Yan Beiqin said, someone must be instigating it, and Dongying Kingdom has the courage to yell at Dayan. As for who is instigating, it needs to be investigated carefully.

On the palace wall and tower, the emperor and Yan Beiqin, together with the ministers of the court, looked at the densely packed soldiers outside the palace gate from the tower.

"Generals!"

"exist!"

"Dongying is coming to commit an attack, and he is about to compete with Dayan to win or lose, what should we do!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Okay, I'm right here, waiting for the soldiers to return in triumph. I'll prepare good wine and food for you. Soldiers, go!"

Fifty thousand people knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

As the soldiers walked away, the emperor and all the military ministers also gathered in the imperial study. Liu Weixiang's original position as Minister of the Ministry of War is now held by Gu Concubine's father Gu Yuanchong. Including the crown prince and De'an, there are eight or nine people in the imperial study. , all complexions were extremely dignified.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "You dear friends, can you imagine that Dongying country dares to invade Dayan?"

Everyone shook their heads, even the prime minister was not calm: "Your Majesty, this matter has to be guarded against. On the surface, it seems that it is just a contest between Dongying and Dayan, but in fact it is a dangerous signal for all borders of Dayan. Where did Dong Ying have the guts to challenge Dayan? For so many years, not to mention Dayan, even in the previous dynasty, they did not dare to take a step into my Dayan. There must be something strange about it. It's just a stone."

The emperor hummed: "What the prime minister said is very true, and I am also very worried. In recent years, there have been frequent accidents at the border, which is really not a good sign."

The prime minister nodded: "Beiyuan bandits have been fighting Dayan for many years, and now it has subsided. Hu Li's daughter, Hu Xuening, is the new leader of Beiyuan. They all acted very friendly, and most of the troops on the frontier have retreated, which shows their sincerity."

"The prime minister means that this incident has nothing to do with Bei Yuan?"

"The old minister dare not say anything, but Hu Xuening, the emperor and all his colleagues have seen it before. Although the woman is not polite and arrogant, her friendship is still there. She is a smart person and knows that the current situation is the best. Yes, the old minister is just guessing, Bei Yuan is unlikely."

The emperor nodded: "Hu Xuening is a straight-forward person. If it was really related to her, I'm afraid she would have given away her feet. Although the marriage was not happy with Dayan, I also showed my sincerity afterwards. The two generals Luo and Yun Shaosi have both been transferred back, and Bei Yuan must have understood this, so he withdrew most of his troops."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor looked at Yan Beiqin: "Prince, what do you think?"

Yan Beiqin frowned: "My father, as far as my son knows, Dong Ying has always been in harmony with Dayan Well, and has never had the heart to covet it. Sixty thousand troops is really beyond Dong Ying's strength." acceptable range."

The emperor and his ministers came to their senses, and the emperor said in shock: "What the prince said is that someone in Dongying is helping you?"

"Father, it is very likely so."

The emperor nodded: "It seems that this matter still needs to be investigated in depth."

Zheng Yunsheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "Your Majesty, the most urgent thing is to send people to the east to investigate, and to find out who Dongying has been in close contact with recently, so that we can find out."

Yun Changqing shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid this matter will not be that easy."

Yan Beiqin echoed: "Ping Qinghou is right, if it is true that you can find out who Dongying Kingdom is close to by just sending people to investigate, then how can the people sent by General Lu Yiming not find anything? Father, my son thinks about it, if Dongying really has noble people to help, he must be hiding something, and sending people there rashly will only scare the snake away."

The emperor frowned and asked, "Then what should be done according to the prince's wishes?"

"Father, my son thinks that this matter still needs to be discussed in a long-term way. If the [-] troops sent out this time can arrive in time, Dongying is naturally no match for Dayan. At that time, Dongying must be in a hurry. If he is in a mess, he will easily show his feet , the person behind Dong Ying will naturally be unable to sit still, and at that time, we don't need to send someone to investigate, and we can know who the other party is."

The prime minister smiled and nodded: "After all, it's the brains of young people. Their thinking is different. Your Majesty, I admire you."

The emperor laughed loudly and said: "The crown prince's reasoning is very good, then follow what the crown prince said, and wait for the opponent to mess up, and everything will become clear."

Yan Beiqin frowned tightly, not smiling at all.

The emperor asked: "Why does the prince have such a face, do you have any other doubts?"

Yan Beiqin shook his head slightly: "If you go back to Emperor Father, I'm just worried that you will get the worst answer in the future."

"What's the worst answer?"

"Father, it has been a year since Elder Sister Huang married to Nanmeng. There is no news of this year, and now I don't know if she is safe or not. Nanmeng has always been eyeing Dayan, and my son is worried that this matter will be inseparable from Nanmeng. So, isn’t Elder Sister Huang’s situation dangerous?”

The emperor frowned after hearing this: "Nanmeng hasn't done anything this year. I think this matter has nothing to do with them. The eldest princess of Dayan has married them. What else are they dissatisfied with? Crown Prince Just stop thinking about it."

Yan Beiqin still wanted to say something, but Yun Changqing said at the right time: "Your Majesty, no matter who it is related to, I think I should be on guard. Dare I ask the Emperor, how many soldiers are still on standby at Dayan?"

The emperor nodded in agreement, and shouted: "Gu Yuanchong, tell me, how many soldiers are still on standby?"

Gu Yuanchong took a step forward and replied, "Your Majesty, the divisions in each state are evenly divided, with a total of 60 troops, and the several garrison battalions in the capital have a total of 30 troops."

"In other words, there are still 90 troops that can be dispatched?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor said to himself: "With an army of 90 plus the soldiers guarding outside, Dayan has less than 200 million troops. I remember that when the first emperor was alive, there were nearly 300 million troops in his heyday, right?"

The officials looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to stand up and speak. Yun Changqing nodded slightly: "Go back to the emperor, yes."

The emperor admired Yun Changqing quite a lot, and he was the only one who dared to speak out at this moment: "Does Marquis Ping Qing have a way to deal with it?"
