He turned his back and looked at a room full of brocade boxes. He turned around again, his face was hot, and he was very surprised, "When you meet the empress, you are not allowed to say that the private money in this room has been touched, and you are not allowed to say a word.

"

The two of them understood each other and said, "I will never tell you this. I all know it."

Luo Jia said casually, "I wouldn't touch the private money in this house. It all belongs to Feng Zhaoyi."

The next day, Luojia went to court.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs saw that His Majesty was recovering. Although he was a little thin, he was in good spirits, so he handed over memorials one after another.

The prince reported in detail what had happened in the past few days. The situation on the front line was not optimistic because of the defeat. The Southern Dynasty army took advantage of the victory to pursue it, and its morale was greatly boosted. The decisive battle was imminent, but there was no certainty, and the situation was worrying.

Luo Jia listened quietly and looked around: "Dear ladies, what do you think?

Everyone was confused and couldn't think of anything to say.

"Prince, tell me!"

The prince took his time and took out a very detailed memorial: "Father, this is what I have researched based on military information these days. Please take a look."

Luojia looked at the memorial and read it out one by one.

Everyone did not expect that the prince had done so much homework and was more prepared than many of the courtiers.

The faces of the gangsters gradually showed joy, but Yi Hun and others felt unhappy in their hearts.

"Everyone has heard it. How is His Highness the Crown Prince's analysis?"

"Very good, Your Highness is wise."

The prince knelt down and said: "These are all under the guidance of my father. I dare not take credit."

Luo Jia smiled broadly and said, "Your Majesty, you did a great job."

"Thank you very much, Father, for the compliment."

"Is there anything else you need to report?"

Everyone shook their heads.

At this time, an order from the Ministry of Rites came out: "Your Majesty, I still have a memorial..."

"Send it up."

"Prince Gao of Qi State ascended the throne and took the initiative to send envoys to establish good relations with our northern country. Now, the envoys are waiting at the post house. How to deal with it? Please give orders from your Majesty."

Luo Jia glanced at the memorial and said calmly: "What does the envoy of Qi mean?"

Shangshu ordered: "His Majesty the State of Qi asked for the beauty's mercy and sent generous gifts, and promised to provide us with convenient border passages and food and grass during this war with the Southern Dynasties."

All the ministers looked at each other.

The Emperor of Qi dared to ask for His Majesty's most favored beauty?

It is possible for the bride and groom to come in person, but if His Majesty’s concubine is used for marriage, will His Majesty also agree?

Everyone thought that His Majesty would be furious, but His Majesty was expressionless and no one could guess what he was thinking.

Lu Tai, a general from Yihun's party, immediately knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Qi has insulted your Majesty's dignity. It is better to expel him immediately..."

The people who supported the imperial concubine also realized that they were trying to trick the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine was deeply favored by His Majesty, and Zhang Jieyu's tree had deep roots. If Xiao Lian was sent away, wouldn't it mean that they and others would suffer a great loss in power?

"Even if it's a marriage, you can just choose a princess..."

Shangshu Ling shook his head: "The Emperor of Qi has specified who he wants, but it won't do to send the princess there!"

"Absurd! Absolutely ridiculous! This is too deceptive!"

"What an emperor of Qi, a child with a yellow mouth, how dare he speak so rudely..."

"Your Majesty, our forces in the North do not need the help of Qi State at all..."

"Your Majesty, this is really ridiculous. Let's expel the Qi envoy..."

…

The old ministers such as the King of Rencheng and the King of Dongyang looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They all had the same idea. At first, His Majesty favored Feng Zhaoyi, but at least he did not harm the country; now he favors Xiao Lian, causing chaos in the government and the public, and the army is defeated. Beauty is a disaster, if

Of course it would be best to send him off at this time.

But, will His Majesty send him away?

The prince was also surprised that the ceremony officer actually raised this matter in the court. Didn't the ceremony officer know that this was detrimental to His Majesty's dignity? What did the emperor mean?

Did the etiquette officer bring it up rashly?

How dare he be so bold in private?

Luo Jia ignored everyone's comments and only asked the prince: "Your Majesty, what do you think?"

The prince secretly complained that his father once again threw a hot potato into his hands. However, he had no way out at this time and could only bite the bullet: "This is the private matter of the father. Logically speaking, I have no right to interfere. But.

, since my father asked, I can only speak my mind boldly..."

"Just speak your mind boldly!"

"I secretly believe that the conditions for envoys from the State of Qi are very favorable. Since ancient times, marriage and marriage have been one of the most effective alliances between countries. If your Majesty can bear the pain and make sacrifices, it will be tantamount to benefiting the Northern Kingdom and joining Qi State.

Judging from the conditions brought by the envoys of the country, we can get the support of almost half of the country of Qi..."

Yihun couldn't hold back his anger: "Your Highness, you can't say that. Xiao Lian is a noble concubine, not a low-level palace maid. Wouldn't this undermine the dignity of our country? If word spreads, all countries will laugh out loud..."

King Rencheng retorted: "Who can laugh? The emperor of Qi is so stupid that he would rather trade half of his country for a beauty. For the Northern Kingdom, they can get such strong support without any effort, so why not? Besides, Xiao Lian enters the palace.

In the early days, there were ministers who were dependent on each other, and they were already acting like relatives intervening in politics. The luxury of Zhaoyang Palace was well known to everyone, and its extravagance had already caused dissatisfaction among the people. This time General Li was defeated, and the people were filled with resentment. Yi Laochen

In my opinion, if Your Majesty can decisively order Xiao Lian to be sent away, it will definitely restore people’s hearts and inspire the soldiers at the front!"

How could Yihun be willing to give up? He said loudly: "Where do you put His Majesty's majesty?"

"No, we cannot agree to the conditions of the Qi envoy..."

"You should agree! This is your Majesty's best way to save the people's hearts..."

…

Everyone was quarreling, but Luo Jia just listened without saying a word.

After a long time, he waved his hand and everyone stopped arguing.

"Officer, prepare to send Xiao Lian to Qi State!"

Some people are really happy and some are sad!

"Your Majesty, you should think twice!"

"Well done, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise!"

"His Majesty……"

He smiled faintly: "I have already thought about it carefully. At present, nothing is as important as the interests of the North. As long as I can safeguard the interests of the North, I will do anything!"

No one dared to refute it anymore.

Because any rebuttal would mean harming the interests of the North.

Who dares to bear such a charge?

The prince's expression relaxed, and a casual smile appeared on his face. Father, he is more courageous than he expected.

"This matter has been decided and there is no need to discuss it any further! Immediately notify the envoys of Qi State to be ready. In ten days, I will set off and the emperor will personally conquer!"

Everyone was in an uproar. No wonder His Majesty decided to send Xiao Lian away!

The prince was also very surprised and hurriedly knelt down: "Father, this is absolutely necessary. You have just recovered from your illness and cannot travel around to work. My son, I can go to war on your behalf!"

He has thought about it many times.

"No! Your Majesty, you have done a good job these days. You stay in the capital and supervise the country on my behalf. I will go on an expedition in person and boost the morale of the front line. In this battle in the spring, for our northern country, we can only win, not lose."

"Father, your health has just improved..."

All the ministers also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice..."

"Your Majesty, your dragon body is not in good condition..."

Luo Jia stood up: "Do you think my body is broken?"

Everyone looked at each other, didn't they?

King Rencheng hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, you should take a good rest these days. It is really not easy to fight..."

Luojia laughed loudly: "I have been recuperating for too long, and my body and bones are wasted! I think back then, I led you and General Li to conquer the north and south, and fought countless battles. How can I be so mother-in-law?

"

Almost all of you here have fought with Luojia. Hearing his long-awaited laughter, everyone has their own feelings in their hearts. According to legend, His Majesty spoiled the country by favoring beauty. Ever since Xiao Lian entered the Zhaoyang Palace, he has been the king.

If you didn't go to court early, why has his whole person changed now?

Luo Jia's laughter subsided and he said in a deep voice: "I have been decadent and ruined the country these days, which has led to the emergency of the military situation at the front. As for the disposition of Zhang Hao and others, everything depends on the prince's plan! This time, I personally go to the front line to boost morale!"

Everyone knelt down together, his laughter subsided, and his voice suddenly became serious: "King Rencheng and Yihun will go out with me! We will set off in ten days, no delay!"
