Chapter 875 ?
"What happened?"
Madam Wu clearly showed a look of surprise on her face.
There are only two reasons for causing trouble for no reason. One is a brain disease, and the other is someone instructed. Madam Wu is a mature man. After a moment of thinking, she guessed the reason and turned to instruct the maid beside her, "Go and have someone check it out. What are these people? The emperor dares to act so arrogantly and should hit it well!"
"yes."
A maid left.
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but observe a moment of silence for Nan Batian. This guy was so unlucky. The knocking from Madam Wu's mouth was probably not so simple. Now, his acre of three-point land would probably not be able to be saved.
Madam Wu ordered and said to Xu Jiaojiao: "You are so good to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little devil! These villains are not allowed to be afraid of them. If you do this in the future, you can go directly to the Cining Palace. Even if the empress dowager is inconvenient, the old man will not ignore it. Even Jingzhao Yin will still give her a little bit of a thin face."
As a celebrity around the Empress Dowager, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that it is a senior level, but ordinary officials and others dare not give face. Not only do they have to give it, but they also satisfy others.
The reason why Madam Wu helped Xu Jiaojiao like this was naturally because Xu Jiaojiao treated the Empress Dowager, and it was not over yet!
Now someone has put his ideas on Xu Jiaojiao. What if something happens, what should I do if the Queen Mother’s illness is?
So, this matter must be taken care of!
Xu Jiaojiao naturally understood the truth, but she couldn't accept it calmly, so she had to express it.
Then he smiled and said, "Then I thank Madam Wu for being kind. I don't have anything good to thank. The business of this winery is good. Why not, I will share the annual dividend with the Queen Mother and barely count it as a reward. What does Madam Wu think?"
When Madam Wu heard this, she understood what Xu Jiaojiao meant, but smiled and said, "Miss Xu, don't be so polite. You don't know the Queen Mother's character, she probably won't want it. You don't need it."
Xu Jiaojiao is not good to say anything. Please use this as a stepping stone. When Madam Wu returns, she will naturally report it to the Empress Dowager.
Another day later, she went to Cining Palace and talked about this with the Empress Dowager in person. The Empress Dowager really refused with a smile, and told her not to be too careful. The greatest reward was to cure her illness.
Xu Jiaojiao was relieved.
Palace, morning court.
A report of the border war was submitted to the court, and the government and the country were shocked and sad.
"What? Jingcheng Pass is lost? Jingcheng Pass is one of the most unbreakable borders in my Daxiang Kingdom. Why is it lost?"
"Isn't there a Fang family in charge of Jingcheng Pass? General Fang's general, a square-faced general, has been guarding Jingcheng Pass for 30 years. He has been as stable as Mount Tai and cannot be broken. How could it be like this?"
"Is someone lied about military information? Didn't the emperor just sent a batch of food and grass last time? The Fang family was dead, but what happened? He actually lost Jingcheng Pass! Emperor, Jingcheng Pass is an important pass of Daxiang. General Fang lost this pass. This crime is unforgivable!"
"Old Master Rong said, the barbarians outside Jingcheng Pass are good at fighting and cunning. If it weren't for the square-faced god generals guarding Jingcheng Pass, those barbarians would have long since entered our Daxiang Country! Now the life and death of the Fang family are uncertain, and I don't know what the situation is. According to what the old minister saw, we should send someone to investigate as soon as possible..."
...
It was a lot of noise.
Jingcheng Pass is the border between the Daxiang Kingdom and the Montenegro Empire. People in the Montenegro Empire are good at fighting. Over the years, the two countries have been in constant conflicts of all sizes and have been in conflict.
But since the Fang family guarding, nothing happened.
Not long ago, the Montenegro Empire had conflicts and frictions because it robbed the sheep from the people outside Jingcheng Pass. This was just an open fuse. The real reason was that the Montenegro Empire had a poor income last year, and the people had to rely on external plunder to appease the people. The fattest neighboring country was still Daxiang, so it robbed several outer grazing sites of Daxiang. The Fang family army was not easy to mess with. It caused a lot of conflicts after a while. The Montenegro Empire raised a large army and the troops were at Jingcheng Pass.
Not long ago, Jingcheng Pass asked the court for help, demanding more troops and grain. The emperor was so anxious that he lost his hair, sold several titles, filled the treasury, and gave the food and grass to the top. Unexpectedly, the situation worsened so quickly, Jingcheng Pass suddenly lost.
The Montenegro Empire has actually arrived at the city. Any small conflict before is just an excuse. The Montenegro Empire has already set its sights on Daxiang Kingdom.
Although the Daxiang Kingdom has not been able to say that the country is rich and the people are safe in recent years, it is much richer than the Montenegro Empire. The Montenegro Empire itself is not in good health and cannot live a life, so it wants to attack the Daxiang Kingdom. The Montenegro Empire is mainly nomadic and lives on horseback all year round. It is tall and very good at fighting, and only the square-faced god general can suppress it.
Now that the square-faced god general is old, the Black Mountain Empire has a new Khan, so the situation becomes subtle.
The emperor had a calm face. After listening to everyone's statements, he coughed, causing everyone to stop.
"The captain of the capital immediately sent someone to Jingcheng Pass to investigate the truth of the matter! How did Jingcheng Pass fall? Is there still a survivor of the Fang family? I want to know the details immediately!"
The Censor of the Chief Censor quickly stepped out of the line to receive the order.
After receiving the order, he immediately left the hall and went to work hard.
The atmosphere in the hall is stiff, tense, and complicated.
Several ministers were shouting, "Emperor, Jingcheng Pass is the key place of our Daxiang Kingdom. We must not be allowed to be occupied by the Heishan barbarians!"
"Only when Jingcheng is in our Daxiang Country can we have peace and must be taken back!"
All were full of anger.
"Then all my dear friends, have you ever volunteered to fight for my Daxiang Kingdom and take back Jingcheng Pass?"
The emperor's eyes were patrolling the ministers, and many people couldn't help but lower their heads.
I was so excited just now, but when I really wanted to take the initiative to face the danger, I was a little scared and didn't dare to say anything.
Even the famous square-faced god generals were defeated. You can imagine how powerful these Black Mountain barbarians were. It is no joke to fight. They were killed by their lives if they were not careful.
The emperor's expression became more and more gloomy, "No one? The country is in trouble, and no one in my country, I, Daxiang, volunteered to fight? Is there anyone?! I'll ask again!"
Minister Yu stood up righteously, "Emperor, I am willing to share the worries of the emperor and fight for the country. Our Yu family also had our own troops and experience in leading troops to fight..."
The emperor's face relaxed a little, and finally someone was willing to stand up.
