Chapter 248 Border Friction
In the imperial palace, after the morning court, a figure stood on the fishing fence in the backyard of the imperial garden, leaning against the wooden fence, spreading bait leisurely.

"Fourteenth brother." Emperor Murong Qingyu walked over and called him, "You haven't been sick for the past few days, what's wrong with your body?"

Murong Huayi put down the food plate, with a pool of clear water in his eyes, "I am in good health, but there have been a lot of miscellaneous things recently, and I want to be quiet."

Hearing this, Emperor Murong Qingyu felt relieved.

"Is there anything important about Chaoshang recently?"

"It's nothing important." Emperor Murong Qingyu looked at his sad eyebrows, but he was still concerned about state affairs, and he was full of emotion in his heart, "Fourteen, there is no news about the fourteenth sibling, but you are still concerned about it." business, brother..."

"This is what Fourteen should do as a subject."

The more he said this, the more guilty Emperor Murong Qingyu felt in his heart.

"Fourteen, Mo Xuantianxia owes you too much..."

"Brother Huang, Fourteen hasn't finished solving Mo Xuan's problem, so there is no claim of debt." Murong Huayi looked at him, "To this day, I have something to tell you."

Murong Qingyu Emperor was concerned, "What's the matter?"

"Gong Shuming from the household department, Brother Huang, pay more attention to him."

Although he didn't know what he meant, Emperor Murong Qingyu kept the words in his heart.

After talking for a while, some palace people were wandering outside the fish viewing pen, pacing up and down eagerly, but they didn't dare to come forward to disturb them rashly.

"It seems to be a close friend of the emperor's brother. Maybe it's an important matter. Fourteen will leave first."

After he retreated, Emperor Murong Qingyu walked out of the fish watching pen, and the restless steps really came from Eunuch Lian beside him.

"What is waiting here?"

Emperor Murong Qingyu had a slight dissatisfaction between his brows, no one was allowed to come here, even his father-in-law was the most trusted person around him, so he would treat him with such leniency, but recently Emperor Murong Qingyu became more and more cautious.

"Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, and the servant has no choice but to bother you..."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Vice-General Zhang and two guards beside General Qin are waiting outside the imperial study, and the emperor moves."

Upon hearing that it was related to General Qin at the border, Emperor Murong Qingyu's face changed, and he stopped talking and hurriedly followed in the footsteps of Eunuch Lian.

Inside the imperial study.

"Going back from a long distance, the journey has been tiring." Emperor Murong Qingyu was extremely polite to them.

Deputy General Zhang was dressed in casual clothes at the moment, his face was full of weather and fatigue, but his eyes were still shining brightly, and the two accompanying guards followed him, their faces were serious, and they were also tired from the long journey.

"Going back to the emperor, I have a secret letter in my hand, which was stolen from the border guards of Liangguo. I will hurry back and present this important thing to the emperor in person. I ask the emperor to make a decision." Handed it out, Eunuch Lian stepped forward to take it, turned back to Emperor Murong Qingyu, and presented it with both hands.

Emperor Murong Qingyu opened the letter, his pupils turned and his eyes gradually darkened.

"Liangguo actually conspired to invade our territory again!" Emperor Murong Qingyu clenched his hands tightly, bones were visible.

"The troops of the Liang State in the borderlands often harass our Moxuan people. If the Liang State intends to offend our Moxuan territory, this matter must not be tolerated." Vice General Zhang cupped his hands and said righteously, "General Qin asked his subordinates to personally send back the news , I also hope that the emperor will give instructions to the last general."

"How many border troops are there?"

"General Qin can mobilize 5000 troops now."

When talking about state affairs, Emperor Murong Qingyu's face became very serious, and the leisurely talk with Murong Huayi just now disappeared completely.General Qin had sent a letter back to the imperial city earlier about Liangguo's actions at the border, and now that Vice General Zhang has brought back conclusive evidence, there is no room for him to hesitate any longer.

"I, Moxuan, have always put peace first and made good friends with my neighbors, but Liang has always had ulterior motives, and has repeatedly clashed with us on the border, and peace is uncertain. The people in the border cities are miserable, and many people have moved to other places." Vice General Zhang's brows and eyes were distressed, "As a frontier soldier, but he can't protect his subjects, he really feels ashamed. I hope the emperor will give his ministers an order and give the border subjects an explanation."

Emperor Murong Qing Yu's expression was serious.

Whoever wants to start a war, the peace of the world is what he wants all his life, that's why he has repeatedly made concessions to Liang Guo's aggression on the border.

The next day, the court.

Emperor Yu of Murong Qing gave a solemn court uniform, and sat on it with his chest in full swing. Once the courtiers stood respectfully to the left and right, like a strong pine, but when the matter of the border was mentioned, the courtiers' discussions surged up like bees and ants out of their nests, drowning the tranquility.After a moment of chaotic discussions, Emperor Murong Qingyu coughed and silenced them.When some veterans asked questions, Vice General Zhang submitted the secret letter, leaving him speechless.

"I, Moxuan, have always been tolerant, but Liang has repeatedly invaded our borders, and this time it has even more ambitions to invade my territory." Emperor Murong Qingyu's eyes were cold, and he swept all the ministers one by one, "This time I will never Qingrao, I don’t know what advice you dear friends have.”

"Although Liangguo has always been at odds with Mo Xuan, there has never been a war of war. This secret letter..." Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said, "I think that what is planned in this secret letter needs to be further developed. It proves that if the Liang Kingdom does not have the intention to go to war, the emperor does not need to worry too much. The relationship between the two countries is the highest, and if there is a war, the people on the border will inevitably suffer."

It was such a voice again, Emperor Murong Qingyu listened to the words of Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and his eyebrows curled into a ball.Wars will only affect innocent people, and their lives will be devastated, but the peace of compromise has been maintained, how can the people live in peace?
"Border conflicts exist in every country. If Mo Xuan provokes a war against Liang, it will be difficult to maintain normal exchanges with Liang in the future. I think the emperor can send an ambassador to Liang to negotiate with Liang on the peaceful coexistence of the border..." Some ministers echoed his ideas.

Far away from the border, without any personal harm, they naturally want to be safe.

His Highness and ministers chattered and discussed, Emperor Murong Qingyu's expression never eased, and he did not say a word. Gradually, His Highness and the ministers seemed to be aware of Emperor Murong Qingyu's mood at the moment, and gradually fell silent. looked at each other.

"General Yan, you should be the one who knows the most about the border conflict between Mo Xuan and Liang, what do you think today?" Emperor Murong Qingyu named Yan Zhi.

Yan Zhi immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists in reply, "Returning to the emperor, the actions of the Liang Kingdom on the border with Moxuan are indeed unpredictable. In the past years, there were many wars with the Liang Kingdom, but in the end, the Liang Kingdom did not start a war. It is seeking peace, but it has not been stable for two years. There will definitely be conflicts on the border again. The minister thinks that the Liang Kingdom has no intention of coexisting with Mo Xuan in a friendly way, and what he is doing seems to be testing Mo Xuan's attitude and strength. If Moxuan has been adhering to the principle that peace is the most important thing and has repeatedly tolerated and compromised, I am afraid that Liang will make more progress and become more arrogant."
