The border army won a great victory, and the prince personally went to the border to provide generous rewards, which was enough to appease the morale of the army.
All the civil servants expressed their approval one after another.
Yuan Hai frowned slightly and glanced at His Royal Highness, who had a normal expression. He wanted to say something, but held back.
Emperor Qing'an and the prince looked at each other for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Okay, you can go to the border on my behalf."
Zhu Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes showed excitement, and he handed over his hands to thank him.
After the ministers resigned and left, Emperor Qing'an glanced at him, and Wang Gonggong and others also retreated. Soon, only the father and son were left looking at each other in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the border gate?" Emperor Qing'an looked at the prince and asked with complicated emotions.
Zhu Yun replied calmly: "My son wants to go to the frontier army. Firstly, he wants to share the worries of his father, and secondly, he will reward the meritorious soldiers generously. As the prince of Qi, I should also get close to the soldiers in the frontier army." .”
Fortunately, Zhu Yun dared to think and speak.
When Zhu Yun goes to the border, the person he really wants to see is probably Shen You!
Emperor Qing'an was silent for a moment and then laughed: "It doesn't matter, you can go if you want to!"
There are some things that cannot be avoided. Since Zhu Yun wants to go, let him go!
…
"Why are you going to the border?"
In the Jiaofang Palace, Queen Yuan looked anxious and blurted out: "That place is far away and cold, and the war just happened. You were injured there back then, and you can't even forget it. Why go there again now?"
Zhu Yun smiled and comforted Queen Yuan: "Don't worry, mother, the border battle has been fought, there is no danger. This time I am going to reward the border troops on behalf of my father, especially General Meng, General Shen and General Yuan, who have made great contributions this time. The imperial court We have to send someone to award the reward, and to put it more bluntly, we have to win over the morale of the border troops."
Crown Princess Yuan Min also laughed in a low voice and said: "It is most appropriate for the Emperor to sit in the palace and His Highness to go on his behalf."
Isn't it?
As a prince, it is your duty to win over good ministers and generals. Furthermore, no matter how far or cold the border is, it is not that you have never been there before.
Queen Yuan came back to her senses and felt that she was making a fuss out of a molehill. She smiled sheepishly: "You are right. But I didn't think carefully."
Zhu Yun smiled and said: "The queen cares about her son, and caring about her will cause chaos. I will set off in a few days, and come back every two months, at most, to come back to celebrate the New Year."
Empress Yuan then relaxed her brows. She thought about it and sighed: "Yes, I feel sorry for my son. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the border army. Don't they have a biological mother? Forget it, just go there on your father's behalf. Remember to go there early." Go back early and take care of your health along the way." He gave a verbose instruction.
After comforting Empress Yuan, Zhu Yun and Yuan Min returned to the East Palace together. Yuan Min packed her husband's clothes and luggage in person without asking any questions. Zhu Yun felt a little guilty and said to Yuan Min in a low voice: "I'm sorry, this It was a last-minute decision, and I didn't have time to discuss it with you before."
Yuan Min glared at him: "This is a serious errand, how can I stop you? However, you have an old injury on your right arm, which is most likely to relapse in cold weather. This time when I go to the border, I have to bring an imperial doctor with me. In case of any discomfort, Call the Imperial Physician for consultation immediately, but don’t hold on."
Yuan Min is always so considerate and understanding.
Zhu Yun's heart felt hot and he hugged Yuan Min into his arms: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
Yuan Min pursed her lips and chuckled, nestling into Zhu Yun's chest: "Because you are so good to me, if you occasionally hide something from me, I won't pursue it."
Zhu Yun's heart beat a beat faster, but his face was calm and composed: "We are a husband and wife. I have nothing to hide from you."
Yuan Min smiled again and said nothing more.
The two grew up together since childhood. They fell in love with each other when they first fell in love, and they have been husband and wife for more than ten years. If there is anyone in the world who understands Zhu Yun best, that person must be her.
The Crown Prince of Zhao suddenly died in the imperial mausoleum. King Zhao led his family and fled to the feudal vassal in a hurry, just like escaping from the capital. When they arrived at the vassal land, King Zhao was delirious and crazy. Emperor Qing'an sent several imperial doctors there one after another. In the past two years,
After coming over, King Zhao not only didn't get better, but became even more crazy.
Emperor Qing'an was grateful for the brotherhood and put past the past, allowing King Zhao's eldest grandson, the legitimate son of the Crown Prince of Zhao, to inherit the throne.
Yuan Min saw all of this and was keenly aware of all the strangeness in it.
Zhu Yun hid a secret in his heart but kept silent about it. Yuan Min didn't even know what to do.
This time, Zhu Yun suddenly wanted to go to the border. The apparent reason was enough to deal with Empress Yuan, but it could not fool her. However, Zhu Yun refused to tell her, so she stopped asking.
…
Three days later, Zhu Yun, escorted by a thousand soldiers, left the capital and went to the border pass. Along with Zhu Yun, there were several courtiers and several East Palace officials who went to the border pass.
The rewards given to several generals in the army were enough to fill several carriages. Zhu Yun did not show off. Others rode horses, so he honestly sat in the carriage that could withstand the cold wind.
The group of people walked for nearly twenty days and finally arrived at the border.
General Meng, who had already received the news, led his generals out of the military camp thirty miles to meet him.
Yuan Jiang and Shen You were on the left and right, behind General Meng. Yuan Jiang was slightly injured in this battle and had been lying on the bed to recuperate. Hearing that the prince came to support the army in person, he just got off the bed.
In the ambush more than a month ago, Shen You was pursuing Telibige with all his strength. Shen You took the lead and fought at the front line. Although he was not injured, he was exhausted. These days, Shen You has been resting at home until he heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was going to attack.
After hearing the news about the border troops, I returned to the military camp.
Why did the prince come suddenly?
Could it be that the Yuan family had let the prince know about the mystery of his life experience? Did he come to the border this time to test him? Or did he want to attack him secretly?
No matter how many worries he had, now that the prince was here, he couldn't avoid it.
General Meng was the first to step forward and salute: "General, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Yun smiled gently, stretched out his hand to help General Meng up: "General Meng, please get up quickly!"
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Jiang, who was senior and the prince's uncle, stepped forward to salute. Zhu Yun was always known for his modest and gentle demeanor, and he became even more gentle and courteous to his uncle: "General Yuan has worked hard in this battle. Please hurry up.
rise!"
Yuan Jiang felt very proud and hurriedly smiled and said: "The last general is in the border army. It is his duty to defend the city and kill the enemy. I don't dare to take it as hard work. On the contrary, His Highness, the prince, traveled thousands of miles to come to the border to treat the soldiers of the border army.
With a sincere heart, we all the soldiers in the frontier army are deeply grateful."
You said this old man, who usually speaks in a sarcastic and mean manner, turns out to be a flatterer.
Shen Jia, who was following Shen You, snorted secretly.
Next, it was Shen You's turn to step forward and salute.
Shen You remained silent and spoke little. He walked up to His Highness the Crown Prince, raised his hands and saluted: "General Shen You, I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
