Five hundred and sixtieth chapters God of eight women
Two months later, Geling City.
In Zhenyuan Palace, when the emperor and Concubine Wan Gui were walking side by side in the garden, news arrived from Northern Xinjiang.
"saint."
Gu Xiujin caught up with him in small steps, leaned over and said, "The urgent military affairs document was sent by General Lin Ye, the Protector General."
The emperor stopped and said, "Bring it up."
Gu Xiujin quickly handed over the memorial with both hands. The emperor took it and read it as he walked.
"This Ning Haitang!"
The emperor muttered after reading it.
The tone sounded scary, but what Wan Guifei heard was different. It was the emperor's helplessness towards his favorite people. This helplessness was also an illusion. It was more of appreciation, but His Majesty didn't want to say it clearly.
"Carrying grain from Guzhu to Dongbo."
The emperor said as he walked: "We destroyed a small country without asking for an order. We killed it first and reported it later. That's all."
"Now Lin Ye has written a memorial saying that she will not leave in Dongbo, and Lin Ye can't do anything to her."
Concubine Wan Gui said with a smile: "Why am I listening to your majesty say this? It seems that General Lin is discussing with your majesty. If General Ning doesn't leave, he won't leave. It's okay to stay in Dongbo for the time being."
The emperor also smiled: "You have seen through Lin Ye's little thoughts at a glance. Those two guys want to have a fight with Lou Fan in Dongbo..."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Oh... I won't talk nonsense about state affairs."
The emperor glanced at her: "Master, did I let you talk nonsense?"
Concubine Wan Gui said with a smile: "I have to let Your Majesty make a start first, so that I can speak truthfully."
The emperor glanced at her again: "It's your fault."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "I have never paid much attention to matters in the court. Even so, I can guess that there are people in the court who hope that the Loufan people will enter the winter camp, and even hope that the Loufan people will fight to the north of Yunzhou."
"Lin Ye wants Ning Haitang to stay. He probably feels that his strength is weak and needs Ning Haitang's help."
"Those two young generals solved the problem of the Loufan people in Dongbo Northern Territory, which also stopped the thoughts of some people in the court."
The emperor nodded: "I remember saying that you have the talent of a prime minister."
Concubine Wan Gui curled her lips: "Your Majesty also said that Xiao Guzi has the talent of a prime minister."
Gu Xiujin quickly leaned over and said: "I'd better avoid it first..."
After saying that, take a few steps back.
The emperor smiled and said: "You are even jealous of Xiao Guzi. Are you a little jealous recently?"
Concubine Wan Gui said with a smile: "I'm not jealous, but I think it would be a good idea for Your Majesty to accept the girl from the Dongbo tribe."
The emperor said: "Let's talk about business."
Concubine Wan Gui laughed again.
The emperor said: "Lin Ye also said in the memorial that he captured Yelvling, who was known as the Loufan God of War, and sent one of them to prison. He also brought back Yelvling's son Yelvminglou, who was also the general of Loufan.
, holding an army of 100,000 men."
He looked at Concubine Wan Gui: "This guy didn't mention the details in detail, but I guess he must have done something random again."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "His Majesty's lips were smiling so much that he was smiling down to his ears. When did Lin Ye do anything wrong, and Your Majesty didn't do this? And he pretended to be angry... It's so fake, so fake, so fake. It's so fake."
Emperor: "I just met the girl from Dongbo yesterday, and it was also because she had a relationship with Lin Ye, so I asked you, you are so jealous, do you still want me to give you something?"
Apologize?"
Concubine Wan Gui: "Speaking of that girl, I look beautiful and strong. She is really..."
Emperor: "You really have something up your sleeve."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Still..."
The emperor shook his head: "No need to talk about this, I don't like it."
Concubine Wan Gui immediately stopped talking. She knew that even if she tried to persuade her again, the emperor would not be angry with her, but she had to know how to control it.
The Emperor said: "The war in Northern Xinjiang in Dongbo is indeed difficult to fight, but if this battle is fought successfully, Lou Fan can take another step back."
"Ning Haitang deliberately destroyed a Loufan vassal state. Some people in the court criticized her recently and said that she was reckless... She is not reckless, she has more intentions than anyone else."
"This will test Zong Zheng Shiquan's thoughts, and also test how many troops Lou Fan still has at his disposal."
The Emperor said as he walked: "In the previous battle at Dongbo, Lou Fan lost his troops and generals, and Zong Zhengshi was all discouraged from going south."
"If Ning Haitang goes to destroy a Loufan vassal country at this time, no matter how small the country is, it is still provoking Lou Fan."
"Lou Fan ignored you, not because he didn't care. Think about the past, with Zong Zheng Shiquan's arrogance, even if you stepped on his grass, he would still take revenge."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "But Ning Haitang destroyed a small country and Lou Fan did nothing, which shows that Lou Fan is now powerless."
The emperor hummed: "That's why Xiao Zizi will test it again in Dongbo Northern Territory. In fact, it's a good thing for Dayu that the Loufan people don't want to fight."
Concubine Wan Gui asked: "If it turns out that the Loufan people don't want to fight, then Lin Ye and Ning Haitang will probably be more wanton."
The emperor smiled and said: "Excessive, that's what they are talking about."
Having said this, the emperor stopped.
He turned back to look at Gu Xiujin: "Come here."
Gu Xiujin hurriedly stepped forward: "Please give me the saint's instructions."
The emperor said: "Send someone to call all the people in charge of the Ministry of War to come over. No one is left except the red robe and above. I want to discuss things with them. In addition...let the people from the Ministry of Hunan come over too."
Gu Xiujin quickly turned around and arranged for someone to deliver the message to the adults.
"In addition, send someone to Dongbo to convey the order to Hong Wu and let him listen to Lin Ye's orders."
After the emperor thought for a moment, he then ordered: "Send someone to Yunzhou to convey the order, and let Xumi Pianruo finish investigating the case in Yunzhou. There is no need to rush back to Geling and go to Dongbo to assist Lin Ye. When he goes, he
Personally escort the food and supplies."
"yes!"
Gu Xiujin wrote them down one by one.
The emperor stepped forward again: "I guess Lin Ye has sent people back to Yunzhou to mobilize the timid army to go north..."
He pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Send a message to Ning Shehai and ask him to lead his troops to Dongbo. If Lin Ye's troops are not enough, Ning Shehai can help if he is closer."
Concubine Wan Gui looked at the emperor and spoke with unconcealed admiration in her eyes.
A man is not just because he can fight, he is handsome, he is the kind of person who is confident enough to shine.
Your Majesty cannot fight, and His Majesty's appearance cannot be said to be very handsome, but when His Majesty is focused on doing things, his self-confidence is so dazzling.
"After this battle is won, not only will the Loufan people not dare to provoke him again, but it will also make Dayu's reputation in the north surpass that of Loufan. It will make countless small countries in the vast northern plains think carefully about Dayu in the future.
I’d better continue to look at Lou Fan’s face.”
The emperor said: "So in this battle, Lin Ye and Ning Haitang not only cannot lose, but they must win beautifully."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Then, why not send more troops and horses over there."
The emperor shook his head: "No need, I have to let the people of Dayu see that I just dispatched troops from northern Xinjiang and suppressed Lou Fan without using the foundation of the country."
"In this way, the people will have more confidence. When I plan to use troops against Lou Fan again in the future, they will not feel that it is unnecessary or unsure."
After hearing this, Concubine Wan Gui realized that it was not Lin Ye and Ning Haitang who wanted to cause big trouble.
Those two clever little guys could do whatever they want in the northern border of Dongbo, but they might have guessed His Majesty's thoughts.
Although those two guys are both young, there are not many who are more thoughtful than them.
The reason why Your Majesty values those two so much is because they are very thoughtful and really capable.
"Let them make trouble."
The emperor said: "I am waiting for news in Geling. If the trouble becomes big this time, although we may not be able to break into Loufan, we can sweep through the vassal states in Loufan's southern border."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "If General Lin's contribution were greater, His Majesty would not be able to reward him at all."
The Emperor said: "Only the most incompetent emperor would be afraid that his ministers' contributions would be too great and that they would not be rewarded..."
Concubine Wan Gui said: "Could it be that your Majesty has already thought about it. General Lin will seal..."
Before she finished speaking, the emperor suddenly laughed inexplicably.
"Rewards are not just promotions and titles, nor are they bounties and silver coins."
The emperor smiled and said: "I keep one hand, and I can use this hand many times."
This sentence aroused Concubine Wan Gui's curiosity. If she didn't figure out what the emperor said about keeping a hand today, she might not be able to sleep at night.
She didn't speak, she just looked at the emperor with her beautiful talking eyes.
The emperor also looked at her: "Don't come here, I won't tell you in advance."
Concubine Wan Gui still didn't speak, and still looked at the emperor with her big eyes. In these eyes, there was coquettishness, begging, and everything that made the emperor's heart unable to harden.
"That's all..."
In the end, the emperor was defeated.
He took Concubine Wan Gui's hand and said as he walked: "I am thinking that if Lin Ye has another meritorious service, I will give him a marriage. Do you think the marriage is a reward?"
Concubine Wan Gui's eyes lit up: "Who does Your Majesty want to marry Lin Ye? Is it Miss Zina? That's a perfect match."
Emperor: "Yes, but not entirely."
Only then did Concubine Wan Gui realize that the one thing your Majesty said about saving a hand can be used many times.
She immediately asked: "Your Majesty, are you still thinking about...the eldest princess?"
The emperor coughed a few times: "I didn't say anything, and I don't think anyone is really suitable. Does it have to be them?"
Concubine Wan Gui gave the emperor a look that said, "I understand." The corners of her mouth were raised, with that evil smile on her face.
The emperor loves this evil smile to death.
Seeing the emperor walking forward, Concubine Wan Guifei walked a few steps forward and took the emperor's arm.
"If this is really possible, can I talk to Yun Xi first?"
"cannot."
"Well... Then, His Majesty said just now that there are other candidates, who are they?"
"No one. I just said it casually. It doesn't matter who it is. What's important is that I said this is a kind of reward. This is..."
Before he could finish speaking, Concubine Wan Guifei gave him another look that said I understand.
"ah!"
She suddenly remembered something, and when she looked at the emperor, her eyes were wide open, and the fire of gossip in her eyes seemed to be burning out.
"Ning Haitang is by Lin Ye's side. Your Majesty suddenly remembered this, could it be...could it be?"
She looked at the emperor, waiting for him to give her a definite answer.
The emperor let out a heavy breath: "I...how could I like such a poor woman like you!"
Concubine Wan Gui: "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't be the eighth mother-in-law. Then tell me quickly, is that what you think?"
