Chapter 649 Persuasion
On May [-], a military report came from the border town.

After Yelu Hongji subdued the king of the middle court in April, he directly led his army south to attack Fengcheng.

Fortunately, Fengcheng urgently repaired the city wall in winter, and with Miss An San's ingenious plan, the frontier army not only defended Fengcheng, but also waited for Zhao Hao's reinforcements, and defeated the Beirong army.

But the defense of Tongzhou colluded with Tong Guan, opened the gate of Tongzhou, and let Tong Guan come around from behind Fengcheng.

Zhao Hao led his army back to defend overnight, and fought against Tong Guan outside the city of Tongzhou. After Tong Guan was defeated, Tong Guan left the pass and fled to the west, Zhao Hao led his army to pursue.

At the end of the military report, Zhao Hao said that the captured Tongzhou guards said they had not received any news about Tong Guan's treason from the Ministry of War and the Privy Office, and thought that Tong Guan was still the commander of the imperial guards, so he opened the door.

At that time, the emperor threw the booklet in Rong Guogong's face and sternly reprimanded him.

After the morning court, Rong Guogong did not go to the Privy Council, but went to a restaurant to relieve boredom, accompanied by Marquis Weiyuan.

The next day, Master Fu's wife entered the palace and asked to see the Empress Dowager Liu.

On May [-]th, Fang Xiang Chen Lian and Fu Dashi Ji Dashi entered the palace one after another to speak to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would go to Songshan to worship the heaven and earth for the fortune of the country before going to escape the summer heat.

In the harem, Empress Dowager Liu also said to the emperor that after the emperor ascended the throne, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, and treacherous ministers emerged one after another.

The emperor agreed.

He announced in the court hall on May [-]th that he will arrive at the Summer Palace for work on June [-]rd. Before that, he will take a small number of people to Songshan to worship the heaven and earth, and the rest can go to the palace by themselves.

At the same time, he ordered Gao Xiang, Hong Shangshu, Ling Juefeng and others to stay in the capital and have the right to deal with urgent matters.

The emperor hadn't gone out to escape the summer heat since he ascended the throne, and all the female family members in the capital had long been looking forward to going to the summer palace. With this imperial decree, the capital city suddenly became lively again, and the families who were eligible to go began to make various preparations.

This summer palace is just like Chinese New Year, it is the best time to socialize and show off.

Those silk jewels sold extremely well, even if they were extremely expensive.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, when Su Yue was counting how much money she had earned again, and she was beaming with joy, Eunuch He brought an imperial decree to Prince Xian's mansion and asked Su Yue to make preparations to go with the emperor the next day, going to Chongshan first.

"Why would the emperor..." After receiving the imperial edict, Su Yue asked Eunuch He in some puzzlement.

This sacrifice to heaven is a major event for the imperial court. Even if the emperor wants to bring along, he will also bring his own queen, at most a few high-ranking ladies to accompany his husband.

But King Xian is not here, she follows like a princess...

"The meaning of the emperor is that offering sacrifices to heaven is to ask God to bless our Song Dynasty. Now that the virtuous king is in an emergency and can't come, so it's the same for the princess to replace the prince." After He Gonggong said, he said in a low voice: "Hey, princess, During this period of time, the emperor is suffering, and only the princess can comfort the emperor."

Su Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Well, how do you say that!"

Eunuch He shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The ministers who came here the day before yesterday spoke extremely unpleasant words, and the princess also knows the emperor's temper, so it was really uncomfortable to hear those words."

Fang Xiang, Chen Xiang, and Yun Shangshu, together with Bachelors Fu and Ji, went to the palace repeatedly to speak to the emperor, saying that since the emperor ascended the throne, the appointment of Cai Bingtong was either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, which made the world miserable today. Word.

Although it was said in the words that he might offend the gods and Buddhas, it might be a change of luck if he went to worship, but the meaning behind that, the emperor didn't feel bitter.

Su Yue frowned and said, "How can you blame the emperor for these things."

Eunuch He sighed softly and said: "Now, the only one who can comfort the emperor is the concubine. The emperor ordered the old slave to follow the queen mother to the summer palace. Concubine, the emperor will entrust you on this journey."

As he spoke, he wanted to kneel down.

Su Yue hurriedly helped him up and said: "Eunuch, this is serious. The emperor treats me like his own daughter, and I also regard him as my father. Don't worry, father-in-law, I will comfort the emperor."

Eunuch He bowed twice more before taking the people back.

As soon as the palace people left, Su Yue asked people to prepare things for the trip immediately.

She often runs outside, so she has a complete set of carriage and accompanying clothes and utensils. Although time is tight, she is not in a hurry.

Just on the entourage, to be rescheduled.

"Mint, you stay here." Su Yue hurriedly walked into the house, saying as she walked.

"Princess!" Mint called out.

"You are already pregnant, don't worry about it." Su Yue glanced at her abdomen and said, "Also, stay here without winter or autumn."

"How can this be done?" Mint asked anxiously.

Originally there were more than 600 guards in the palace, but Su Yue asked Xie Jue to take away more than 500 of them, and there were not many left. Besides, even those guards of the palace were no more loyal than NeverwinterWuqiu.

"This time when we go out, the guards will take half of them away, and the palace will be empty." Su Yue winked at the warehouse behind and said, "What if a thief comes? Prices in the capital are soaring now, It’s hard to say that there won’t be some people who don’t have eyes.”

Bo He was silent for a while, but couldn't refute.

That's right, the price of high-end silk and satin in the capital has increased by at least five times now, but thanks to that Ye Shaoqing, many people know that the silk shop that sells high-end silk and satin belongs to Su Yue.

Many people also know that the palace of the virtuous king is rich and rich, and there are many good things.

There are not many guards left in the mansion now, if there are any unsightly ones, the main storeroom of the palace will not dare to go, so they will come to Su Yue, the dowry storehouse...

Well, it is true that they are still reliable.

"Don't worry, I'm following the emperor, who dares to touch me?" Su Yue blinked at Mint, and then said to Bai Lu: "Bai Lu, you and Bi Shui choose a few more stable ones to go with."

That being said, Mint is right to be worried. It is not easy to take the little maids like Yuzan outside, and it is better to bring the big maids brought by Bailu Bishui and Mr. Gu.

Bai Lu responded, turned around and walked outside.

Watching Su Yue take Mint and the little girl to pack things, Tang Bing quietly exited Xinyue Hall and went outside to find Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu was already arranging the affairs outside. Seeing Tang Binglai, he said, "I will go with you. There are still 65 guards in the mansion, and I will take 30 away. The rest will stay, and those under my command will also go with me." .”

Tang Bing thought for a while, and said: "With the master, it doesn't take so many, just bring 20 people."

Su Yue was walking with the emperor, it would be bad if they brought too many guards, but Mr. Gu and the others were all eunuchs, they were much less conspicuous than the guards.

Besides, Mr. Gu's kung fu is superior to all of them, and he alone is more useful than ten guards.

And it would be better if there were more guards in the mansion. After all, Su Yue was not unreasonable to worry. Once the emperor left, the capital would be empty, and the mansion of Xian Wang was already in full view. If it was completely empty, someone would take the opportunity to make trouble.

You still have to say hello to Chang Ningbo.
