"When will Uncle Nine Emperors ask me to go to war?" King Qing had been leading troops all year round. Seeing the raging war outside, he couldn't sit still.
After staying in Jiangnan for several years, except for the early days when he had a battle of wits and courage with the tough wealthy people in Jiangnan, he had nothing to do later. He didn't even need to worry about government affairs. He was already being trained as a prince.
The current King of Gangnam handles it.
What the King of Qing wants to do most now is to go to the battlefield and have a good fight, lest he be ruined if he keeps raising him any longer.
"War? Do you want to go to the front line?" Feng Qingchen looked at King Qing with a strange look on his face.
How cute is the King of Qing that he would think that Uncle Nine Emperors would lead his troops to fight with him?
"The war is raging now. Is there anything wrong with me going to the front line? I am also a general who has led troops and guarded one side." The status that the King of Qing has today is all achieved by himself. He is the only one who has achieved great success through military exploits.
A prince with a royal foothold.
"Son... let's face reality." Feng Qingchen patted King Qing on the shoulder and sighed: "Uncle Nine Emperors will not let you go to the battlefield. You should give up this idea as soon as possible."
"Why? Uncle Nine Emperors don't trust me?" A look of sadness and loss flashed in King Qing's eyes. He thought that Uncle Nine Emperors should know that neither he nor the prince brother had any ambitions. Even if the prince brother had it before, he would have given up on it long ago.
.
How dare the light of a grain of rice compete with the sun and the moon? He and his brother the prince did not want to die.
"It has nothing to do with this. Even if Uncle Nine Emperors trusts you, he will not go to the battlefield with you. Uncle Nine Emperors will always keep the blood of the Dongling royal family." Feng Qingchen knew that although Uncle Nine Emperors were cold, arrogant and ruthless, he still treated his own people very well.
OK.
"Royal blood? Is it that serious?" King Qing obviously didn't believe it.
Feng Qingchen explained unhurriedly: "Try your best in everything, but you must also prepare for the worst. Now that the situation is so chaotic, Uncle Nine Emperors must be prepared with both hands. King Yong and King Zhou are treason, even if Nine Emperors
The emperor's uncle can finally give them a way to survive, but they themselves may not be able to survive. Even if they survive, it will be useless and they will not be able to claim the title of emperor at all."
"As for King Jiangnan, although his heart disease has healed, he is still weaker than ordinary people. I don't know if it will relapse in the future. Whether he can have heirs is a question. If... if something happens to Uncle Nine Emperors, Dong
You are the only one left in the Ling Imperial Family, and only you can stabilize the overall situation." There was no way the Nine Emperors Uncle could have cut off the royal bloodline.
"Isn't there still a little emperor..." King Qing opened his mouth to retort, but halfway through his words, he couldn't continue.
The little emperor is too young, and he has the title of emperor. If there is an accident, he will be the first to be killed. Even if he survives, such a young child cannot maintain the influence left by the Nine Emperors Uncle. If there is no loyal person to educate him,
, and I don’t know what it will look like.
After much calculation, he is indeed the most suitable, but there is one more thing...
"Don't you and Uncle Jiu plan to have children? When will you get married?" Now, no one can stop Uncle Jiuhuang from marrying Feng Qingchen. Although there will still be people who are dissatisfied, this discordant voice can be completely ignored.
.
"Of course, it's just that in this war-torn world, how do you expect us to raise children? As for getting married? There's no rush...we'll wait two years." The situation is so chaotic, who has time to prepare for a wedding.
Moreover, the regent's wedding cannot be hasty or simple. But if it is grand and luxurious, it will inevitably cost a huge amount of money and military expenses to hold the wedding. Neither Jiuhuangshu nor Feng Qingchen can do this kind of thing.
She didn't want to be a woman like Cixi, who misappropriated military funds to celebrate her birthday and ended up harming the entire Beiyang Navy. Because she had no money to purchase artillery and ammunition, she could only use her body to block the enemy's artillery fire, destroying Asia's No. 1 Navy.
A naval fleet.
"So... I don't want to go to the battlefield anymore?" King Qing smiled bitterly, with disappointment in his eyes.
"You can't go to the battlefield, but you can guard the rear for Uncle Nine Emperors. You should understand the importance of Jiangnan, and how many people are thinking about Jiangnan's autumn harvest this year." Although no exact information has been received, from some clues
, Feng Qingchen vaguely guessed that not only Beiling, but Baigui Palace and Liancheng also wanted to plan the autumn harvest in the south of the Yangtze River.
If you can seize the grain and tax revenue that Jiangnan paid to the court, you can not only severely damage Dongling, but also strengthen your own strength. This is a two-for-one deal, even if you lose your head, there are still many people who are willing to take the risk.
"Did you also receive the news?" Prince Qing was startled and looked at Feng Qingchen with a solemn expression.
"What?" Feng Qingchen was confused now.
The King of Qing hurriedly explained: "Recently, many outsiders have sneaked into Jiangnan. My brother and I believe that these people's targets are official silver and official grain. Because we haven't figured out the other party's movements, the emperor made a mistake some time ago.
He said that the official food grains here in Jiangnan have not been collected yet, and asked the court to give him some more time, and then transport all the grains to Beijing."
"Is this really happening? I was just guessing at first, but hearing what you said, the matter is serious." Feng Qingchen looked solemn and frowned: "You must tell Uncle Nine Emperors about this matter, otherwise something will really happen.
Neither you nor King Jiangnan can afford this."
"I understand. It's just...what happened outside?" In order to reassure the Nine Emperors Uncle, King Qing and King Jiangnan did not dare to develop their power outside. They were not as well-informed about outside news as Feng Qingchen.
Feng Qingchen did not hide anything and told the King of Qing the news he had just received: "Some time ago, Beiling received a large amount of food support. After that, Beiling changed its attack method. Instead of the previous strong attack, Beiling is now
Fishing for Dongling has no intention of breaking through Dongling's defense line, but only drags Dongling's soldiers and horses back."
Feng Qingchen glanced at King Qing and continued: "Beiling's goal has always been clear. What they want is food and the rich city of Dongling. Beiling suddenly slowed down its offensive, not because it was afraid of Dongling, but because it had
Find another way."
"But it doesn't have to be the official silver and official grain from Jiangnan." Why did his small place catch the eyes of those people? Isn't this causing trouble for him?
Feng Qingchen spread his hands: "That's why I said it was just a guess. However, based on what you said, it is most likely true. The other party set their target in Jiangnan probably because they did not have enough troops.
We can concentrate all our efforts on attacking one place, and there is no better place than Jiangnan."
Uh... The King of Qing was speechless at this moment. If it were him, when his strength was insufficient to shake the big tree, he would naturally concentrate his efforts and focus on one area. Jiangnan is a piece of fat. If it were him, he would also choose Jiangnan.
"I'm going to see Brother Huang. This matter must be reported as soon as possible." When they arrived at the Jiangnan Palace, the Qing King had no time to entertain Feng Qingchen, so he jumped off the carriage and ran to the Yamen. In the Jiangnan Palace, Feng Qingchen was the boss, and no one dared
Ignore her.
Feng Qingchen didn't care. The master was away, so she treated herself as the master. She took Snow Wolf and Lizard Man into the palace and arranged for the two to rest while she went to visit Feng Jin.
Long time no see, I missed him very much. Unfortunately, when Feng Qingchen left, Feng Jin fell asleep. Feng Qingchen did not wake up Feng Jin, but squeezed the corner of his quilt for him, and then went out to wait for the Valley Master and the others.
When the Valley Master, Guo Baoji and Chi Lianshui came back from Jiangnan Medical College, they chatted about the current situation. Feng Qingchen brought up the business and told the three of them about the lizard man's illness. As a result, before he finished speaking, there was a commotion.
