Chapter 973
Something happened to Jinghe, which caught the Chu Prince's Mansion off guard.
But naturally, Hongye couldn't believe anything, so he believed it. Yuwenhao immediately asked the spy team under the Fourth Master Lenglang Sect to investigate.
The news came back very quickly. Jiangbei did catch a woman from Northern Tang. She just waited for the New Year to burn to sacrifice to the witch.
Then, this person must be quiet and unquestionably.
The news was sent back. Yuwenhao immediately went to the prime minister to discuss it with Leng Jingyan first, and then went to the palace to report.
Yuan Qingling was waiting for news in the mansion. If he said it was just to save Jinghe, the court would definitely not want to fight. The layout of southern Xinjiang had long been decided. The infighting in the southern Xinjiang was a result of the profits.
But Hongye did make arrangements in place, confirming that the King of Southern Xinjiang was destroyed by the northern border, so the court had a reason to send troops. It only depends on whether Emperor Mingyuan was willing or not.
Emperor Yuan of Ming summoned the cabinet to discuss the matter, and Yuwenhao attended as the prince.
Because there was a plan to deal with southern Xinjiang, most people in the North Koreans were unwilling to send troops. After a war against the Xianbei and the Northern Desert, the treasury was now almost gone. It was really difficult to support the military expenditure of the troops.
Moreover, this also involves a civil war. Southern Xinjiang was the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and although it was not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it was more wasteful of methods and time with them. In other words, the disadvantages of sending troops outweighed the benefits.
The court had a yamen specifically responsible for uniting the front line of the southern Xinjiang. They believed that the southern Xinjiang was very poor now, and the people's livelihood could not keep up with the prefectures and counties that were just like the Northern Tang Dynasty. It would take a few years to make them live. If they really wanted to fight, they could only fight from the north and south of the Xinjiang region. The court could not send troops, because the imperial court would send troops to disappoint the hearts of some people in the southern Xinjiang region.
But the current situation is that the south of Xinjiang is not in a state of climate. After the death of the Southern Xinjiang King, it is now a mess of sand that cannot be condensed and is not enough to confront the north of Xinjiang.
If we say that at this time, letting the daughter of the King of Southern Xinjiang go back, it would not be possible, but we will definitely not be able to save Jinghe.
Moreover, many court officials believed that since there are some ways to avenge the king of Southern Xinjiang, the biggest purpose of sending troops this time was to make Princess Jinghe. If Princess Jinghe was still a royal family, then her fall into the hands of the people of Southern Xinjiang would indeed damage the royal face. But now she just falsely held the title of Princess, not a royal family, and it would be inappropriate to use troops for her and could not explain it to the people of the world.
Someone suggested that if you want to save Princess Jinghe, you can send someone to sneak into the northern border and secretly rescue the person.
However, this move was immediately opposed by the United Front Work Office of the Southern Xinjiang. They were familiar with the terrain of southern Xinjiang. In addition to the harsh mountains in southern Xinjiang, there was also natural miasma. Almost every person in southern Xinjiang understood the witchcraft. People in northern Xinjiang were particularly hostile to outsiders and sent people to rescue them privately. There were many difficulties and it was very likely that the rescued people would be put in it.
Yu Wenhao frowned, "It is not possible to send troops, but to rescue them, so what else can I do? I can't watch Princess Jinghe be burned by people from the north."
The United Front Office Master Wu Da said, "Your Highness, our deployment for southern Xinjiang is now gradually progressing, and we must act more carefully at this moment. If the situation is disrupted by the rescue of Princess Jinghe, then what we did in the early stage would be a waste."
Yu Wenhao suppressed his anger, "Then you come up with a plan. You can't watch people die in the northern border."
Wu Daren said: "I believe that Princess Jinghe was captured by people from the north of the border because of personal grudges. She once killed the witch girl from the north of the border. That sanity is the concubine of the King of Wei. Strictly speaking, it is a struggle between their women, and it is not appropriate for the court to intervene."
Yuwen Hao was furious, "You mean to do nothing?"
Master Wu’s position is firm, “I believe that if we cannot move, it will ruin our deployment.”
Yu Wenhao slapped the table and said, "Deployment? What are your deployments? You have not been able to tell me the reason for the situation in southern Xinjiang until now. All the favorable deployments were planned by me. It has been ten years since the accident between the Southern Xinjiang King and you have not even found the descendants of the Southern Xinjiang King, and you have never sent anyone to understand the situation. The so-called deployment is just based on the fire viewing from the other side of the river proposed by me."
Master Wu was denounced by Yu Wenhao and was a little embarrassed. He defended himself: "Your Highness's words are bad. The situation in southern Xinjiang is complicated. It is not that I am unwilling to take a plan. It is useless to implement the plan that is incisive. Besides, the plan you proposed by Your Highness will eventually be implemented by the United Front Office? Therefore, I believe that the rescue is difficult and will provoke conflicts, which will lead to all our efforts in the early stage. I oppose all rescue operations."
"Then you can't stand by and watch!" Yu Wenhao said angrily.
Seeing Yu Wenhao's face angry, Master Wu asked, "I wonder if the prince is caught by the people in the northern border, will you send troops to rescue him at all costs? I'm afraid you can't send people there. Since that's the case, why do you have to make a difference because of the princess' identity? If the prince really does this, he will be despising the overall situation, which is not something that wise people do."
Lord Wu dared to compete with the prince in front of Emperor Mingyuan because many people supported him. Everyone believed that no matter how big the fight was, it was impossible to make a big move for the sake of Jinghe.
Yu Wenhao was not angry about this. He did send troops for Jinghe, which would destroy the current layout, but Master Wu meant that there was no need to rescue him, so he was angry about this.
Therefore, after hearing Master Wu’s last words, he smiled coldly, "Yes, it may not be appropriate to send troops. I did not propose to send troops. I only said to send people to rescue him. I believe that even any people in the people will definitely try their best to rescue him. Princess Jinghe was my sister-in-law and my family. Because this matter was related to your united front and the court's layout in southern Xinjiang, he proposed to discuss with everyone how to rescue him. It is not necessary to object that way, Master Wu, you didn't let Master Wu go to southern Xinjiang in person."
After hearing this, Master Wu said, "If Your Highness wants to send someone to rescue him, it will also destroy the layout of the court. I must object to the plan for the sake of the country."
"How to destroy the overall situation by sending someone to infiltrate the rescue? You have made it clear." Yuwen Hao said.
Lord Wu bowed to Emperor Mingyuan and said, "Emperor, Princess Jinghe was once the royal daughter-in-law, but now he fell into the hands of the people of the northern border for killing the northern border witches. That is his own fault. But if she is rescued, the northern border witches will definitely think that the royal family sent someone to rescue them, so he will hate the royal family and the imperial court even more."
Emperor Mingyuan said lightly: "So, the Wuqing family believes that there is no need to send troops and rescue them?"
"If you say back to the emperor, I believe that if you move your whole body, you must not act rashly."
Emperor Mingyuan looked around the other ministers in the cabinet, "Do you have any objections?"
Some ministers said one after another: "I think what Master Wu said is reasonable. As for Your Highness's desire to save people, it is understandable, but it will indeed damage the overall situation."
Emperor Mingyuan's face was slightly dark, "Go back, I will discuss it later when I choose a date."
