Something happened to Jinghe, which caught the Chu palace off guard.
But naturally, he could not believe whatever Hong Ye said, so Yu Wenhao immediately asked Fourth Master Lenglangmen’s secret agent team to investigate.
The news came back very quickly, and it turned out that Xianbei had indeed captured a woman from the Northern Tang Dynasty, and she was going to be burned to death as a sacrifice to the witch's old friend on the New Year's Day.
Then, this person must be calm and peaceful.
When the news came back, Yu Wenhao immediately went to the chief assistant and Ling Yan to discuss it first, and then went to the palace to report.
Yuan Qingling was waiting for news in his mansion. If it was just to save Jinghe, the imperial court would definitely not be willing to fight. The layout of southern Xinjiang had long been decided, and the imperial court would benefit from internal fighting in southern Xinjiang.
But Hong Ye has indeed made arrangements, confirming that the king of Southern Xinjiang was exterminated by Northern Xinjiang, so the imperial court has a reason to send troops. It just depends on whether Emperor Ming Yuan is willing or not.
Emperor Ming Yuan summoned the cabinet to discuss the matter, and Yu Wenhao attended as the prince.
Because there had been a plan to deal with southern Xinjiang for a long time, most people in the DPRK were unwilling to send troops. After a war against Xianbei and Beimo, the national treasury was now running low, and it was really difficult to support the military expenses of sending troops.
Moreover, this also involves civil war. After all, Southern Xinjiang is the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty. Although it is not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court, there are many ways and time to waste with them. In other words, the disadvantages of sending troops outweigh the benefits.
The imperial court has a yamen specifically responsible for uniting southern Xinjiang. They believe that today's southern Xinjiang is very poor, and the people's livelihood has completely failed to keep up with the states and counties in the Northern Tang Dynasty. It only takes a few years to bring them back. If they really want to fight,
That can only be fought by northern and southern Xinjiang, and the imperial court cannot send troops, because sending troops by the imperial court will chill the hearts of some people in southern Xinjiang.
It's just that the current situation is that southern Xinjiang is out of control. After the death of the king of southern Xinjiang, it is now a mess, unable to unite and not strong enough to confront northern Xinjiang.
If the daughter of the King of Southern Xinjiang is allowed to go back at this time, it does not mean that it is impossible, but it will definitely be too late to save Jinghe.
Moreover, many courtiers believe that since there are ways to avenge the King of Southern Xinjiang, the biggest purpose of sending troops this time is to kill Princess Jinghe. If Princess Jinghe is still a member of the royal family, then she will fall into the hands of the people of Southern Xinjiang.
It is indeed a disgrace to the royal family, but now she has only assumed the title of princess in vain, and is not a member of the royal family. It is inappropriate to use the army for her sake, and she cannot explain it to the people of the world.
Someone suggested that if they wanted to save Princess Jinghe, they could send people to sneak into northern Xinjiang and rescue them secretly.
However, this move was immediately opposed by the United Front Office of 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 everyone in Southern Xinjiang knew the art of witchcraft, especially those in northern Xinjiang.
If you are hostile to outsiders and send people to rescue without permission, you will encounter many difficulties, and you may very well trap the people you rescue.
Yu Wenhao frowned, "If we can't send troops or rescue, what else can we do?
We cannot just watch Princess Jinghe being burned at the stake by people from the north of Xinjiang."
Lord Wu of the United Front Yamen said: "Your Highness, our deployment to southern Xinjiang is gradually underway, and we must proceed with caution at this moment. If the situation is disrupted by rescuing Princess Jinghe, then our early efforts will be in vain."
Yu Wenhao suppressed his anger and said, "Then you should come up with a plan. You can't just watch people die in northern Xinjiang."
Wu Daren said: "I believe that Princess Jinghe was captured by people from northern Xinjiang because of personal grudges. She had killed her old friend, a witch in northern Xinjiang. The old friend was also the concubine of King Wei. Strictly speaking, she was one of their women.
In the struggle for space, it is inappropriate for the imperial court to intervene."
Yu Wenhao was furious, "You mean to do nothing?"
Lord Wu stood firm, "I believe that if we cannot move, it will damage our deployment."
Yu Wenhao stood up and asked, "Deployment?"
What arrangements do you have?
Until now, you have not been able to explain the situation in Southern Xinjiang. All the favorable arrangements were planned by me. It has been ten years since the King of Southern Xinjiang’s incident.
None of them have been found, and no one has been sent in to understand the situation. The so-called deployment is only based on the idea of watching the fire from the other side proposed by the king."
Mr. Wu was scolded by Yu Wenhao and lost his dignity. He argued: "Your Highness's words are wrong. The situation in southern Xinjiang is complicated. It's not that I am unwilling to adopt a plan. It is useless to implement a plan without hitting the mark. Besides,
Your Highness, won’t the plan proposed by you still have to be implemented by the United Front Yamen in the end?
Therefore, I believe that rescuing is difficult and will provoke conflicts, causing all our early efforts to be in vain. I oppose all rescue operations."
"Then we can't just sit back and watch!"
Yu Wenhao said angrily.
Lord Wu saw Yu Wenhao's sullen expression and asked, "Your Highness, if the people from Xinjiangbei captured just an ordinary commoner in the Northern Tang Dynasty, would you send troops to rescue him at all costs?
I'm afraid it's impossible for you to send someone there. In that case, why should there be any difference because of your status as the princess?
If the prince really does this, he will be looking down upon the overall situation, and it is really not a wise thing to do."
Master Wu dared to confront the prince in front of Emperor Ming Yuan, naturally because there were many people supporting him, and everyone believed that he could not go to war again for Jinghe.
Yu Wenhao is not angry about this. It is true that sending troops for Jinghe will destroy the current layout. But Master Wu means that there is no need to rescue. He is angry about this.
Therefore, after listening to Mr. Wu's last words, he smiled coldly, "Yes, it may not be appropriate to send troops. I did not propose sending troops. I only said that I would send people to rescue. I believe it is any common people or their family members."
We will definitely try our best to rescue her. Princess Jinghe was once my king’s sister-in-law and a member of my family. Since this matter is related to your united front and the imperial court’s layout of southern Xinjiang, I proposed to discuss with everyone how to rescue her.
It is the most appropriate. I have not asked Mr. Wu to go to Southern Xinjiang in person, so there is really no need to object so much."
After hearing this, Mr. Wu said: "If Your Highness sends someone to rescue, it will also destroy the layout of the imperial court. I have to oppose it for the sake of Jiangshan."
"Sending people to sneak into [ www.boquge.xyz] for rescue, how to undermine the overall situation?
You made it clear."
Yu Wenhao said.
Mr. Wu raised his hands and said to Emperor Ming Yuan: "Your Majesty, Princess Jinghe was once the daughter-in-law of the royal family. Now she falls into the hands of the people in northern Xinjiang for killing the witch in northern Xinjiang. It is her own fault. But if she is rescued, northern Xinjiang
The wizard will definitely think that the royal family sent someone to rescue him, so he will be even more hostile to the royal family and the court."
Emperor Ming Yuan said calmly: "Therefore, the Wu Qing family believes that sending troops and rescuing is not necessary?"
"Returning to the emperor, I believe that if you move your whole body, you must not act rashly."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked around at the other ministers in the cabinet, "Do you have any opinions?"
Some ministers said one after another: "I think what Master Wu said is reasonable. As for His Highness's eagerness to save people, it is understandable, but it will indeed harm the overall situation."
Emperor Ming Yuan's face darkened slightly, "Retreat and discuss it another day."
