Chapter 362 Concubine Cao is conquered by Zhao Ji, where is Emperor Xia’s face?
Li Qianshun sighed and said, "Absolutely not."
With tears streaming down his face, Li Renai asked puzzledly: "My son just wants to fulfill his filial duty and serve his mother. Why doesn't his father agree?"
"Huh!" Li Qianshun returned to the dragon throne and sat down, angrily scolded the prince Li Renai:
"You only fulfill your filial piety, but you don't know the great justice of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country! If I obey your request, the civil servants, generals, soldiers and people in the capital will all leave the city in advance when they see the prince and queen. Who will still have the confidence to hold on? Where is the city?!"
In fact, what Li Qianshun said was only one of the reasons he was worried about. He couldn't say the other reason.
Then, Li Qianshun felt that Prince Li Renai's biological mother, his queen Yelu Nanxian, was born smart and beautiful. Although she was over thirty years old, she still had charm. Coupled with her noble and special status, she was the daughter of the Liao Kingdom. The princess is also the queen of the current Daxia Kingdom.
Li Qianshun was worried about the prince's westward journey. If he brought his mother, his noble and still beautiful queen Yelu Nanxian, it would be fine if the Daxia Kingdom won the battle to defend the capital. If there is a war, then the local tribes in Daxia will definitely not take the prince of Daxia seriously anymore.
By that time, my queen Yelu Nanxian will most likely become the plaything of a bold tribal leader in the northwest.
If that time really comes, where is my face? Where is the dignity of the royal family of Daxia?
If the empress of the Great Summer of Mother Decree falls into this situation, she will be laughed at forever! This would be even more humiliating than if I dedicated my beloved concubine Cao to the Dog Emperor of the Song Dynasty!
Li Qianshun, who was thinking about this, severely reprimanded the prince...
Li Renai was so frightened that he trembled all over, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried while saying that he knew he was wrong.
Li Qianshun was angry that he wouldn't fight, but he couldn't help but cherish the only child Li Renai inherited from his true dragon bloodline so far.
"Alas!" Li Qianshun sighed, waved his robe sleeves, and said: "Prince Renai, please step aside and quickly enter the palace to take another look at your queen mother!"
"When I summon Bari Zuren and order a thousand of his bodyguards, the prince must leave the city before sunset with my imperial edict and the gold medal for troop deployment. After you have waited for a marching horse to leave the city, you must travel overnight, so you must hurry up. Stay away from the capital, a place of right and wrong."
Li Renai knelt down and cried, "My son, I obey."
After Prince Li Renai left the hall in tears, King Shu Li Renli wanted to give some words of comfort to Emperor Xia.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Li Qianshun:
"Don't try to dissuade me, good nephew. I ordered the prince to leave the capital and go to the northwest to mobilize reinforcements. This is just a precautionary measure!"
"Although I boasted to the prince that the capital city could be defended for a year under the siege of the Song army, I knew in my heart that the capital city should only be defended for about three months to half a year."
When Li Renli saw Emperor Xia being so confident, he was relieved a lot, and he hurriedly consoled him:
"Your Majesty, if the Xingqing Mansion in the capital city can be defended for three months, the soldiers and horses of King Qin from all over the Great Xia Kingdom will be able to arrive to relieve the siege of the capital! If by that time, the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom who personally conquered The Dog Emperor of the Song Dynasty and his troops will be attacked from both sides, and the Song army will be defeated!"
Li Qianshun sighed and said: "I hope so!"
At this moment, Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was very conflicted. He sometimes believed that the Xia army would win in the battle to defend the capital. However, because Xijing had fallen too quickly before, he sometimes felt that the Song army was too powerful. Xia's capital defense battle was extremely easy to fail quickly.
Emperor Xia was in conflict and naturally hated the initiator of this war - the dog emperor of the Song Dynasty, 'Zhao Ji'.
Naturally, he hated Concubine Cao very much. Why did he bear the humiliation and sacrifice his beloved concubine Cao to the Song Emperor? Why didn't Cao carry out his secret mission?
When can she use the hidden poison to poison the dog emperor of the Song Dynasty to death in the military camp?!
If that happens, the Song army, which is alone and goes deep into the northwest, will be leaderless and will definitely make a truce and retreat.
…
Thinking of this, Emperor Xia Li Qianshun felt his teeth itching with hatred, and he issued an oral edict:
"My beloved concubine Cao has been ill recently and misses her parents very much. I pity her and love her! I specially ordered the parents of Concubine Cao to live temporarily in the imperial city immediately after receiving the order, waiting for Concubine Cao's condition to improve. My parents went into the palace to pay homage to Princess Cao."
After receiving the order, the imperial guards quickly exited the hall, took the guards with them and rode fast horses, and went to the Cao Mansion in the capital to convey the order...
At this time, King Shu Li Renli in the main hall secretly gave a thumbs up. He admired the current Xia Emperor Li Qianshun for being really kind to his Concubine Cao. He was really a good emperor who valued love and justice!
However, Li Renli did not know that Xia Emperor Li Qianshun had secretly sent an envoy to send his beloved concubine Cao to the military camp of Zhao Guan's family for the sake of the great Xia Kingdom.
At this moment, on the roaring Yellow River, hundreds of large and small warships were heading north along the river;
In the cabin of a huge warship that was temporarily used by the emperor, Zhao Guanjia was sitting on the chair of the imperial master. Opposite him, very close to him, kneeled a delicate and charming beauty!
She is the Daxia Princess Cao who was secretly promised a heavy responsibility by the current Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, but was betrayed by Zhao Guan's family...
At this time, Li Qianshun naturally did not know that Cao had betrayed him.
He summoned Cao's parents to stay in the imperial city temporarily, just in case.
If Cao, his beloved concubine, dares to betray him, he will first have Cao's parents operated on, and then destroy the three other clans to satisfy his hatred.
Li Qianshun issued another imperial edict...
This time, he personally used the royal pen to write down the imperial edict. Not only did he write the imperial edict that could be read publicly, ordering the armies of various tribes to go to King Qin in Beijing;
He also wrote a special edict from the local tribes in the Grand Canyon and gave it to Bali Zuren:
Aiqing, please protect my crown prince Li Renai; you will go to the tribes in the northwest to announce the imperial edict to mobilize troops. It would be best if you can bring in reinforcements;
If reinforcements cannot be brought in, or if it is predicted in advance that a certain local tribe is rebellious, the prince should not go to that tribe in person. Everything must first protect the prince's safety...
After Li Qianshun finished writing several imperial edicts, he handed them over to another eunuch who delivered the edicts, and asked him to quickly ride on a fast horse to chase the censor Zhongcheng Bari Zuren who had retreated from the court.
After everything was done, Xia Emperor Li Qianshun finally took Shu Wang Li Renli out of the main hall and came to the square in front of the palace.
At this moment, Li Renli was surprised to see that the square in front of the palace was almost filled with guards officers and soldiers from the sixth shift of the imperial siege.
Li Qianshun announced loudly to the nearly 4,000 guards and soldiers from the Sixth Division of the Imperial Guard who had been summoned:
"From the day I announce it in public, King Shu Li Renli will take over the position of the capital commander of the sixth squadron of the imperial siege..."
The nearly 5,000 imperial guards on duty in the sixth shift all looked at each other, but they did not dare to question Xia Huangru's sudden and bizarre operation.
What they were even more curious about was why many of their superiors suddenly disappeared after hearing the announcement.
