Chapter 264
"It's mainly because of my wife's order that I can go to the Hall of Harmony to see the face of the court after I retire from court." Wang Lian said loudly.

"Princess Chaoyan, isn't it just..."

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Su has demoted and demoted, don't you understand?"

King Lian turned a deaf ear to the whispering, his expression remained normal.

At this time, the eunuch standing in front of the Weiyang Palace, chanting: "Xuan—entering the palace—"

All the courtiers in the main hall originally thought that the new emperor did not accept concubines, did not select girls, and returned home at night, although it was a little strange, but it was really a blessing for Daqi.

But today, Emperor Jing Yuan proposed that he wanted to conquer the Houliang by himself.

Most people were in an uproar.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible."

"Your Majesty, think twice. Daqi and Houliang have lived in peace for a hundred years. Even if you want to expand your territory, you are not in a hurry."

"It's better to wait..."

"What are you waiting for?" Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows and stared at the lord, "Wait for the back beam to call, and then fight in embarrassment?"

"General Xiao, we all admire you for being brave and good at fighting, defending your home and country, but we know that this battle is a waste of people and money..."

Huangfu Jun came out and said: "Show the emperor, the treasury is full now."

General Gu also came out and said: "Houliang has repeatedly tested our country's borders, and previously sent spies to the Yangcheng area to create an empty city and sneak in. The wolf's ambition is clearly revealed!"

Bringing up the old matter again, the controversy at the scene suddenly became much quieter.

"Prime Minister Lu, what do you think?" Huangfu Yue looked at Lu Ping who had been silent all this time.

Lu Xiang said unhurriedly, "The old minister believes that Da Qi is strong and has been recharging his energy for many years. Now the emperor is far-sighted and intends to deal a heavy blow to the back beam. It is really wise. The ministers are afraid and can only stay in the capital." Share your worries for the Holy One."

Lian Wang smiled and said nothing, Jiang Taiwei was expressionless, Lu Xiang gave his full support, and several generals with heavy troops in their hands were stern.

What else did the ministers not understand? Emperor Jing Yuan was not asking. I am afraid that this matter will be decided by default sooner.

When the news about the new emperor's imperial conquest reached Ci'an Palace, the Empress Dowager Hua was pulling Su Yingchun to talk about family affairs.

"Chaoyan will be seventeen next year, right?"

She was a little inexplicable: "Yes."

Empress Dowager Hua said with emotion: "I think back then, when Ai's family was seventeen, she was already pregnant, but it's a pity... I couldn't keep it."

Holding the handkerchief and wiping the corners of his eyes: "Hey, don't mention it, I mean, sixteen or seventeen is the best age for a girl."

She smiled faintly: "Twenty-eight Jasper, I'm afraid of fleeting life."

"Little girl, why do you say such things." The Empress Dowager Hua concealed the slight surprise in her eyes, and took a sip of tea, "The imperial palace is not more comfortable than ordinary people's homes, but it also depends on who is in the palace, and who is in the palace. What do you want, to raise children for mediocrity, or to be by the side of the most powerful man in the world."

"To tell the truth, the Ai family dislikes cowardly people the most, even if they are women, Chaoyan, have you seen Yangliu?"

She thought of the willow branches and pink flowers by the lake that day: "I've seen it before, it's soft and tough."

Empress Dowager Hua nodded: "A woman can not only be like a flower, but also like a willow."

There seemed to be a light in her mind, she was stunned for a moment, and said respectfully: "Thank you for your teaching, Queen Mother."

"Empress Dowager, I have something important to report." A court lady hurried over.

Empress Dowager Hua didn't intend to avoid Su Yingchun, she said calmly, "Speak."

"The news came from Weiyang Palace that the emperor... will personally conquer the imperial family and attack Houliang."

Snapped!The teacup fell to the ground and broke.

She didn't know how she got back to the Hall of Harmony, and the phrase "The emperor, the imperial conquest" was always echoing in her mind.
