Yu Wenhao once again entered the palace and had a private talk with Emperor Ming Yuan. Although he said that he would not accept the emperor's orders, if Lao San used too many soldiers and horses, he would still be blamed later, and Lao San might not be willing to increase the burden on the court, so this
If Xing goes to northern Xinjiang, he won't take too many people with him.
In fact, Emperor Ming Yuan did not agree with sending troops, but he also disagreed with Master Wu's statement that he should not care at all. To send troops, he needed to explain to the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty. There was too much noise, and it was not a good time. If he brought thousands of people to attack the wizard, he could rescue them.
Jinghe also gave Xianbei a warning, and Emperor Mingyuan was very happy.
He said: "The third son now has more than 30,000 people under his command. None of these people have participated in the war with Xianbei and Beimo. If they have not participated in the war for a long time, the military will be lazy. I have given my order to let him take 5,000 people south to train and reorganize the army."
military discipline."
Yu Wenhao was overjoyed, "Father, this is a great idea."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him meaningfully, "It's just that the military expenditure has been insufficient for many years, and the imperial court is in urgent need of bailout. The troops will not be accompanied by food and grass, and the imperial court will not provide any military supplies. If something happens that damages the troops and generals, the imperial court will not provide generous support."
I won't take it out, so that I can explain it to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."
In other words, they have to bear the food and military needs of these five thousand soldiers and horses, which is really a big expense.
Of course, this is not the most difficult thing. The most difficult thing is not finding anyone to go.
Man'er went to Prince Shun's mansion that day, she wanted to find Aunt Qing.
She wanted to share the worries of the Crown Princess. In the past two days, the people in the Chu Prince's Mansion could not eat or sleep because of Jing He. In the past, she could not help, but now this time, she felt that she could help.
Aunt Qing didn't expect that Man'er would come to her, and she was surprised and ecstatic. But when she heard what Man'er said, her face suddenly changed, "What? Are you going to the north of Xinjiang?"
Man'er said sincerely: "Yes, I want to help Princess Jinghe. Auntie, you are also from southern Xinjiang. How much do you know about northern Xinjiang? Can you tell me everything?"
Aunt Qing grabbed her hand and said sternly: "You can't go, listen to me, it's very dangerous."
Man'er looked at her suddenly excited face and was a little stunned. He struggled to take back his hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Your Highness, King Wei, will lead the troops and I can protect myself. Just tell me what you know."
Aunt Qing's face was gloomy and her voice was full of hostility. "Did the Crown Princess ask you to go? Did she force it on you?"
Man'er looked at her and suddenly felt that she was extremely strange. She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "I won't disturb you anymore. Take my leave!"
Aunt Qing stopped her, with worry in her eyes, "Don't go, listen to me, you can't go to this northern part of Xinjiang no matter what, you know? It's very dangerous."
"Okay." Man'er was eager to leave, so he didn't talk to her too much and agreed perfunctorily.
Aunt Qing also noticed it. She held her shoulders with an almost ferocious look on her face, "I know you may not believe what I say, but as long as you set foot in that place and are discovered by people from the north, you will never come back again."
I won’t come back. There are demons there that eat people but don’t spit out their bones. Believe me, it’s a very vicious place. You can’t go there.”
Man'er's shoulders hurt from being squeezed by her, and she became a little angry, "Please let me go first. Whether I go or not, and whether or not something happens is my own business. It has nothing to do with you. You don't have to be so excited and angry."
"
"How come it has nothing to do with me?" Aunt Qing's eyes flashed scarlet, and pain almost like bleeding hit her. She said in a rough voice: "You... in any case, listen to me, you can't go, don't go."
You can’t go, you know?”
"What's going on?" Yu Wentian passed by the corridor and saw Aunt Qing speaking rudely and harshly to the girl who had fallen into the water. He couldn't help but come in and ask.
Aunt Qing regained her sense and slowly let go of Man'er, "Your Majesty!"
Yu Wentian looked at Man'er, "Did Brother Five ask you to come?"
Man'er Fushen said, "Your Majesty, no, I'm here to see Aunt Qing."
Yu Wentian said to Aunt Qing: "We are all guests in the house, how can we be so rude and rude? Just say it nicely."
