Xia Tianhai hesitated for a long time and then said: "Your Highness, this time, I heard that it was the head of the family who fought against Emperor Xu Qing in the Qinling Mountains. The news spread all over the world. I just want to ask~"
"Oh, Grandpa Tian, what's wrong with this? We are basically all our own people here, so just say it. Indeed, it was my biological father who came to the scene this time. As for why, the reason is more complicated. However, Xu Qing
Di Ye can be regarded as my cheap master. He is not a bad person. He mainly wants to let the Xu family make a name for itself in this huge arena. After all, it has been silent for too long. My master Feng Ao is actually my father's second uncle.
It’s normal to help him.”
"What! It's like this. Where is the head of the family now? Do you want to take back Xizhou? Moreover, the court will know about the head of the family's appearance. Once a wanted order is issued, what should we do? We need to do it in advance
What?"
"Okay, Grandpa Tian, don't worry. If it was really an extremely dangerous thing, I wouldn't be bathing here now. My parents were picked up by people from Penglai Island. What exactly happened?
, I don’t know either, but Jue Ming and my father are close friends. You can ask him what happened during this period. As for anything else, just pretend that my father never showed up and everything will be as usual."
"W-why is this? Where is the current emperor~"
"They all know that if Grandpa Er hadn't also gone to Qinling this time, we would all have died there. But this time it opened my eyes. It turns out that there are huge unreachable forces outside the world. I discovered this
The world is getting more and more interesting. Let’s go take a shower first and you can chat more.”
After soaking in the tub, the hot water was quite useful in driving away worries. I closed my eyes and rested for a while. The door was opened, and Xiaolan walked in, carrying a large bucket of hot water.
"Who?" The habit formed cannot be broken, and Feng Yu will always be a little sensitive to the sound.
"Your Highness, it's me, Xiaolan. The weather has turned cold and the hot water is getting cold very quickly. I brought you another bucket of hot water so that you can soak more comfortably. Your Highness is tired and will definitely want to take a longer bath."
"Thank you for your hard work, go and have a rest. I don't need to wait here."
"It's okay. His Highness is very kind to us. His monthly salary is several times that of other people's maids. We are all willing to serve His Highness." Xiaolan was talking while adding water. Feng Yu felt a little embarrassed and went up.
The first time I was taken care of was the last time. It had been a long time. But it was quite nice to have someone take care of me.
"I have been away from home for so many days, has anything bad happened?"
"It's nothing. Your Majesty came here a few times, and then she didn't come again after learning that His Highness was fine. However, I heard from Grandpa Tian and others that there seems to be someone always watching our palace. I don't know what they want to do. Xiaolan can't figure it out either.
.His Highness has not offended anyone, and he is not in the house all the year round. How can he provoke others? It is probably because some people don't like His Highness and feel bad."
"Haha, you little girl has a lot to think about, but it can also be understood that you just pretend you don't know anything and just do whatever you have to do, even if I go to Qingzhou."
Xiaolan seemed to be frightened suddenly, not knowing what bad thing had happened to her, and Feng Yu was also a little confused.
"Ah, Your Highness, don't you want to take Xiaolan to Qingzhou? Your Highness can punish Xiaolan if she doesn't do well enough."
Feng Yu rolled his eyes and said, "What did I think was going on? That's it? I went to Qingzhou to prepare for war at any time. Why am I taking you here? It's not like settling down."
"However, wars will definitely take a long time. Your Highness is like living in Qingzhou temporarily. There should always be someone around to take care of you."
"They are all military roughnecks, so don't go there. They are looking after the palace. I'm not here and you don't have to do any work. That's great."
"But, but, will His Highness not want us anymore and think we are lazy?"
"Hey, how dare I dare to arrange for someone to be arranged by my mother-in-law. Moreover, I allowed it. What are you afraid of? Don't worry. According to my estimation, the king will be back in a year and a half at the latest. It won't take long. Don't
I'm crying. I'll go to court tomorrow. Help me prepare my official uniform, and then you can go to bed. Even if I have to leave, I'll have to wait for several days. The procedures at the Ministry of War and the court are not that easy."
"Yes, I will go and prepare His Highness's official uniform now."
After taking a bath, Feng Yu finally returned to the bed where he had been away for a long time and had a good sleep. He did not get up until the maid called him the next morning.
"This official uniform is ugly and difficult to wear. It's a pity that I don't go to court often."
"Your Highness, this is a python robe, second only to the dragon robe. Who in the world doesn't want to wear it to show off, so you can just ignore it."
"For me, comfort is the most important thing."
"Long live my emperor!"
"Everyone is safe."
The emperor was dressed in a golden dragon robe. He looked at the people standing below with serious eyes. He spoke clearly but people did not dare to look at him.
"There is only one thing under discussion this morning, and that is the issue of dispatching border guards. Ministers, what do you think? You can speak freely, and you can say what you think."
Several princes stood on opposite sides of the court, appearing symmetrical, but even though they knew about their father's arrangement, they did not speak at this time.
Lin, the minister of the Ministry of War, was the first to come out. He bowed down and said to Your Majesty, "Your Majesty, I think that the various countries are coming fiercely this time. The chaos in Southern Chu has begun to subside. The Western Jin Dynasty is already strong, so I am afraid that it will not be able to get out for a while."
What force is there? Jin and Xia have always joined forces to fight against our Tang state. The urgent letter from the western border shows that the attack is fierce. I thought that it was the old prince who personally led the troops in order to calm down the morale of the army and guard our borders."
The Minister of Civil Affairs had a different opinion and retorted directly to Shi Lin's words, "Fashion Book, are these words too exaggerated? The Jin and Xia countries have not moved their troops and horses, and there is no movement of people or movement of food and grass.
, why do you think you must attack our country Tang? Isn’t it too sensational?"
Shi Lin turned around and refused to give him face, but the emperor quietly watched them arguing with each other and did not say stop.
"Wen Shangshu, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a second-rank minister, are you so short-sighted? Can't you still see what their intentions are? Do you have to have thousands of enemy troops at the city gate to react?
No matter how much you do by then, it will be in vain and you will just give it away in vain!"
"Fashion Book, it is precisely because I am the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs that I have to consider many aspects. Although Qingzhou is a border, it is also a prosperous city in the west of our Tang Dynasty. The three cities it belongs to are of great economic significance. Once they are opposed in wartime, it will cause
Have you ever thought about how big the loss is? Without definite evidence, should we just abandon it?"
"If the skin is gone, the hair will be attached. If a fight really breaks out, what's the point of thinking about those trivial things."
"Two ministers, please wait a moment," King Qin Junyu of Wei interrupted the dispute between the two, "As the pillars of the court, each has his own opinion. This is a good thing. It is for the sake of our country, Tang Dynasty, but each has his own opinion.
You can’t just quarrel, you should listen to multiple opinions.”
The two of them calmed down, which was considered to have given King Wei some face.
No one spoke for a long time. At this time, a censor came out and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Western Region must be guarded against. The old prince has experienced hundreds of battles and can deter the enemy. He is the best choice."
One after another started talking, but most of them agreed to the old prince's personal conquest.
The emperor said nonchalantly, "Uncle Wang is injured and cannot guard the border."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone started to stir up trouble, "Your Majesty, I heard that the old prince's injury was caused in the Qinling Mountains a few days ago. The battle was between Emperor Xu Qing of the Xu family and the traitor Xia family of Xizhou.
The head of the family, Xia Xuanyuan, if the rumors are true, I'm afraid there are still hidden dangers within the Tang Kingdom."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the thief Xia Xuanyuan cannot be ignored, especially after the Xia family was exterminated. He must have a grudge. More than twenty years have passed. I am afraid there is a big conspiracy when he appears this time. Please make a decision, Your Majesty."
The King of Wei also followed the trend and echoed: "Father, before going abroad, we must first make peace at home. My son thinks that we should issue an imperial edict to hunt Xia Xuanyuan and the remnants of the Xia family nationwide."
Prince Qin Junyu took a step forward and said, "Father, things in the Jianghu are complicated. Now disaster is about to happen. At this moment, there is a lot of internal fanfare. I am afraid that it will shake the people's hearts and may not be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty."
Seeing the emperor thinking, the second prince Qin Junxue had his own opinion for the first time. He looked at everyone cautiously and said, "Father, my ministers don't understand usually, so it's not convenient for me to say anything for fear of disturbing state affairs, but my son
After all, I am also a martial arts practitioner, and I know the resilience of some warriors. The Xia family rebelled and sent Xizhou out, and Qingzhou almost lost its security. I wonder if there are remnants of the Xia family in Qingzhou. This strange phenomenon
Whether it is also related to them, we still need to send someone to Qingzhou to investigate."
The people below all nodded and agreed. Although the second prince was silent and temperless, he made sense today. Even if Qingzhou wasn't going to fight, it would be wise to send a capable person to investigate just in case.
The prince frowned and looked at him, then withdrew his gaze, but he could not think of any reasonable explanation as to why the second son had spoken without his instructions today, and had not even discussed it with himself.
Feng Yu stood behind the two of them, hearing everything clearly, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This Qin Junxue is simply a fox. If he hadn't known his identity as a spy, he would still be kept in the dark. What he said today sounds very normal.
, but Feng Yu, who knew his details, had another guess.
First, the matter of Xia Xuanyuan was confirmed. On the surface, the Xia family must be eliminated, and they even said that they had allies. On top of this, Qingzhou has other meanings to the Xia family. They are afraid of hidden evil intentions, no matter whether this war is fought or not.
If you want to fight, you have to send your henchmen to Qingzhou. This not only avoids the previous dispute, but also emphasizes the importance of sending people to the west. But he can't find any fault, which really makes people want to beat him. This chapter has been completed!
