Flourishing age's Medical concubine

A trembling old minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial court is weak now... Old minister, old minister thinks that we should make peace with King Yan."

Peace again!

Xiao Qianye's face was distorted for a moment, and his eyes to the old minister were almost murderous. Among the emperors, Xiao Qianye's character is gentle. Especially for those old ministers, they always treat each other with courtesy. This time, he did not hide the murderous spirit and anger in his eyes, which made the people under him more frightened.

"Calm down, your majesty." seeing this, Han min and Zhou Xiang hurriedly stepped out and advised. At this time, if Xiao Qianye really killed people, I'm afraid it would only be more chaotic.

Xiao Qianye closed his eyes and endured the anger in his heart. Look at the two men: "what do you think?"

Han min and Zhou Xiang looked at each other and were secretly complaining. Lijiang is more than a day away from Jinling. Once King Yan crosses the river, they really have no way. In recent years, the imperial court's troops and horses have been worn out excessively, and the number of Jinling thirteen guards in charge of Gongwei Jinling is insufficient. Needless to say, their combat strength can not be compared with that of Youzhou guards who worked hard on the battlefield. The most important thing is that the Youzhou army is powerful and powerful, but there is no one in the court.

At the thought of this, Zhou Xiang was also sad. When your majesty ascended the throne a few years ago, several of their old ministers assisted your majesty and wanted to make the world peaceful and make your majesty a Ming monarch. But now, only a few years later, the Yan army has been in the city. Except for those who have been cut off, the local vassal kings either belong to the Yan king or watch the fire from the shore. It is a dream to want them to send troops to stop the Yan king.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to go to the battlefield with his old body. Even if he dies in the battlefield, he can repay the kindness of his majesty and the former crown prince." Zhou Xiang cried.

Xiao Qianye sighed with disappointment. He also knew that Zhou Xiang and Han min had no choice at this time. As for letting Zhou Xiang go to the battlefield... That's a joke. Zhou Xiang, a scholar, is too old to say that he is going to the battlefield. He is even in a hurry to walk. He is afraid he will be out of breath.

Sighed, Xiao Qianye waved weakly and said, "just step back. I want to be quiet."

"I'm leaving." all the ministers were relieved and left in unison.

After retiring the ministers, Xiao Qianye got up and walked aimlessly towards the rear palace. When he recovered, he found himself standing outside the Empress Dowager's palace. Thinking of those bad things in the hall, Xiao Qianye shook his head and turned to go. These messy things, or don't bother your mother.

"I have seen your majesty." but a maid came out of the Empress Dowager's palace, slightly blessed and saluted, "empress dowager, please come into the palace to meet your majesty."

Xiao Qianye sighed and said, "let's go."

After entering the palace, the Empress Dowager was sitting on the main hall, holding a four or five-year-old child and whispering something. The child looked a little emaciated and sat in the arms of the Empress Dowager with a shy smile on his face. He was the eldest prince of empress yuan.

"I have seen my mother." Xiao Qianye said.

The eldest prince was stunned when he saw Xiao Qianye. Soon he came down from the Empress Dowager's arms and saluted respectfully. "My son has seen my father." although he was only four or five years old, the eldest prince's etiquette was quite in place. Obviously, the queen took pains to teach. Looking at his son in front of him, Xiao Qianye looked a little slower, nodded and said, "flatten yourself."

The prince stood up and looked at Xiao Qianye. He didn't speak. Xiao Qianye said, "my father has something to say to your grandmother. Go back to your mother first."

The eldest prince's eyes were slightly gloomy when he heard the speech, but he still skillfully said: "yes, father, Emperor. Children and ministers leave. Emperor's grandmother, grandson leave."

The Empress Dowager smiled kindly, "good boy, go." someone ordered the palace maids around him to personally send the eldest prince to the Queen's palace. Just then he turned back and said to Xiao Qianye, "I heard that the emperor has been standing at the gate of the palace for a long time, but what's the matter?" Xiao Qianye smiled bitterly. "My son's minister was fascinated by things for a moment, disturbing the mother."

The Empress Dowager shook her head, looked at him calmly and said, "but what's the matter?"

Xiao Qianye was stunned and closed his eyes for a long time before he said, "my son and minister are incompetent. Please forgive me. King Yan's soldiers and horses... Are about to cross the Lijiang River. I'm afraid they will crush Jinling in a few days."

The Empress Dowager was silent for a long time, sighed and said, "well, life should be like this. It's a big deal that the Empress Dowager will accompany you at that time."

"My ministers are unworthy." Xiao Qianye said.

The Empress Dowager shook her head. "You are too young. At the beginning, the Empress Dowager and your father were careless in teaching you. How can you beat uncle Yan? The Empress Dowager is sorry for you."

Xiao Qianye shook his head and couldn't say it. The atmosphere in the hall was heavy and sad for a time.

The Empress Dowager looked at her son's depressed appearance and sighed in her heart. He personally got a cup of tea and put it in front of him. He said, "there must be a way to the front of the mountain. Why do you have to be such a little child?"

Xiao Qianye was slightly shocked and reached out to hold the tea cup. The faint warmth seemed to be thrown into the whole body from the fingertips, and the original chaotic mind gradually settled down. After drinking a cup of tea, Xiao Qianye nodded and said, "what my mother said is that my son's minister is wrong. As long as the king of Yan doesn't finish the palace one day, my son's minister will be the emperor of this summer. Even if... Even if he really takes this country, he will always be a disorderly minister and thief!"

The Empress Dowager didn't speak. She didn't know much about the affairs in the court, and she never intervened in the government in recent years. Now this situation, no one can turn the tide. The only thing she can do is to be with her son.

"Tell the empress dowager, the bodyguard of the imperial study came to report that the Duke of Hubei has returned." outside the door, the internal supervisor hurriedly reported.

"What?!" both mother and son were surprised. Xiao Qianye suddenly stood up. "Duke of E is back? Isn't he in Chenzhou?" Duke of E was besieged in Qingyun Mountain of Chenzhou, but Xiao Qianye thought he could hold on for at least a period of time. Even if we can't kill the enemy, can we at least contain some Youzhou guards and Taining guards? But... How did the Duke of e come back?

The warden outside the door didn't dare to speak. He didn't know what was inside. He just came to send a message.

Xiao Qianye brushed his sleeve impatiently and said, "where is the Duke of E?"

The internal supervisor said, "the Duke of Hubei said in the imperial study that he would personally apologize to his majesty."

Hearing the speech, Xiao Qianye's heart sank again, "how did the Duke of Hubei come back?"

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Hubei came back alone. I don't know anything else."

Without further delay, Xiao Qianye arched his hand at the Empress Dowager and said, "empress mother, my son's ministers are leaving."

The Empress Dowager didn't care much, so she quickly got up and said, "Ai's family will go with you." the Empress Dowager also knew that when the Duke of Hubei came back at this time, I'm afraid the result would be bad.

Xiao Qianye nodded carelessly and walked out first.

In the imperial study, Yuanchun looked more haggard and decadent than in Chenzhou a few days ago. Kneeling on the ground, he bowed his head and said nothing. Xiao Qianye came in. Obviously, he was stunned and hurriedly said, "what is the Duke of e doing? Don't get up quickly."

Yuan Chun looked up and said in a deep voice, "the old minister was defeated and captured, and hundreds of thousands of troops were lost. Please bring down your majesty."

Even with psychological preparation, Xiao Qianye couldn't help but change his face. But... "Defeated and captured? Then you..." justice of the state of e said: "yes, Prince Wei released the old minister. The old minister should have died to thank your majesty. But he still wants to come back in person to apologize to your majesty and ask your majesty to kill the old minister."

Xiao Qian was speechless in the middle of the night. The defeat of the Duke of Hubei made it worse for the Imperial Army that had already been lost. Hundreds of thousands of troops... "What's going on?" Xiao Qianye said with some difficulty.

The Duke of the state of e said the events on the battlefield again, and Xiao Qianye couldn't help gnashing his teeth. "It's Wei Junmo again?! isn't Wei Junmo in Pengcheng? Why did he suddenly run back to Chenzhou? Why..."

The Duke of Hubei sighed and looked gloomy. "Nangong Huai got away from Yundu and captured Wei Junmo's daughter in Chenzhou. Mr. Wei was eager to find his beloved daughter and went to the battlefield regardless of loss..."

"Nangonghuai again!" Xiao Qianye hated. "I knew he couldn't believe it! If he hadn't run away without authorization, how could Yundu be so easily broken! Wait... You said that Wei Junmo's daughter was captured by nangonghuai?"

The Duke of Hubei nodded, "the old minister heard the news is indeed so."

Xiao Qianye drooped his eyes and thought. Naturally, he didn't instruct Nangong Huai to do such a thing. Nangong Huai didn't need to kidnap Wei Junmo's daughter. So... It's Gong Yuchen! Xiao Qianye secretly hated himself and was put forward by Gong Yuchen. In order to catch a little girl, Gong Yuchen dared to instigate Nangong Huai to give up Yundu! However, if Nangong Huai really succeeds... No, Xiao Qianye secretly shakes his head in his heart. Even if Nangong Huai succeeds, can he expect to rely on a little girl to push back hundreds of thousands of rebels?

Seeing Xiao Qianye's silence, the Duke of Hubei stopped talking. Just calmly waiting for their results. Once Chenzhou was defeated, Yuan Chun, who belongs to a generation of famous generals, had died. All that survives now is a bad old man who won't live long. As for how Xiao Qianye should punish himself, Yuanchun was also open to it.

Xiao Qianye looked at the Duke of E and said in a deep voice, "Duke of E, go back to his house to have a rest. We'll talk about the rest later."

The Duke of the state of Hubei was stunned and bowed down, "the old minister retired."

No punishment doesn't mean things are over, but Xiao Qianye didn't think of what to do for a moment. The Duke of Hubei didn't care either. He stood up and walked out with some staggering.
