There was a dead silence in the main hall for a moment. Everyone was dumbfounded and did not react to this sudden news.
This good news couldn't have come at a better time.
After a while, Su Mingcai, the Minister of Household Affairs, suddenly shouted: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on the great victory of Xingchang County!"
This shout finally called everyone back. Everyone whispered to each other at first, and soon became noisy.
The emperor shouted "Okay" excitedly, and stood up excitedly, "Xuan!"
Ouyang Si frowned slightly, how can you stand up? Not to mention whether this is not calm enough, just by standing up, you have lost your duty as an emperor!
The emperor left suddenly without even naming the ministers and other ministers, which made the court even more chaotic.
The envoy came in, dusty but full of excitement. He excitedly paid homage to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Xingchang County launched a surprise attack on the army of Jinyang Kingdom yesterday evening and defeated the enemy's army of 500,000 troops in one fell swoop.
They killed more than 30,000 enemy troops in formation and captured as many as 50,000 on the battlefield. The enemy troops fled. Later, they searched and pursued from various places and captured more than 20,000 prisoners. A total of 100,000 enemy troops were killed and captured.
In addition, almost all the enemy's baggage and equipment were lost, and most of them were captured by Xingchang County.
Last night, the county guards, generals, etc. were sure that the enemy would attack in the middle of the night. They set up an ambush again and killed several Nascent Soul masters. Most of the remaining hundreds of Nascent Soul masters were injured.
When the subordinates came down, the county guard also said that he wanted to attack from the north and south with General Wu Fanghai and completely annihilate the Jinyang army."
After the words fell, the court room froze for an instant. Everyone stopped talking and looked strange - Wu Fanghai and his army, whom your county governor wanted to cooperate with, were defeated at dawn and are now licking their wounds. And the situation of reinforcements is not very optimistic either.
.
The messenger looked around in confusion: What's wrong? Shouldn't everyone be excited?
…………
In the princess's mansion, Hu Yinglan walked up to the princess with a solemn expression and placed the jade slip in her hand on the table in front of the princess.
And on the table, there is "Women's Training".
The princess took the jade slip and took a breath of air after a moment. The complexity of the information in it was completely beyond imagination. Of course, the princess did not have any intelligence network, but as a princess, as long as she deliberately manages and collects some
The information on the surface, etc., is still fine.
This information includes the first show of artillery, the great victory in Xingchang County, the defeat of Wu Fanghai, and the general situation of the reinforcements. The information is not complete, but it is enough for Princess Liu Xinyu to make some clearer judgments.
For example: This prince brother may not be able to stand up to this country. However, Liu Xinyu is also helpless, she... is a princess!
Here in the Fertile Continent, there have been cases of "listening to politics behind the curtain" in the past, but the results were mostly not very good. And just like this, coupled with the environment of the entire society, the big men are very repulsive to the "henjisi"
morning'.
The reason why the late emperor asked Ouyang Qingque to be the princess's young master was because he found out that his daughter was ambitious and wanted to suppress it; and the reason why Ouyang Qingque was so surly was because it was 'for the good of the princess' - don't get involved in politics.
You just wait to get married honestly, and don't get in touch with messy men like Zhang Hao. You are a princess, you have to be reserved, understand?
However, Ouyang Qingque did not know that ambition would grow wildly unless it was not born. The more severe the suppression, the more serious the later outbreak.
At this time, the previous generation of emperors died, but no one could suppress Princess Liu Xinyu.
Liu Xinyu stood up and looked quietly at the whirling garden in front of her. Her face was calm, but her eyes were extremely deep. Her extraordinarily long eyebrows revealed a hint of determination.
Suddenly, Liu Xinyu turned around and said, "Ouyang Qingque!"
"Princess." Ouyang Qingque came over with a straight face.
"I am going to Ninghe County. You will stay in the Princess Mansion for the time being and be responsible for taking care of all the affairs in the Princess Mansion." Liu Xinyu's words were extremely forceful and completely commanding.
Ouyang Qingque frowned: "Your Highness, Princess, I have been ordered by the late emperor to be by your side at all times and correct every move you make.
Moreover, the situation is changing now, and it is not safe to go out. I do not recommend that the princess goes out."
Liu Xinyu raised her eyebrows and said in a stern tone: "Ouyang Qingque, you are just a minister. What I have to deal with now is related to the security of the country.
His father had previously planned to build Ninghe County into a black iron base and left 10,000 elites there, and Liu Jingming was responsible for training some elites.
There is no one to send to the court, I need to go and see!
The country is facing a crisis, why can't I care about the country?"
"I want to follow the princess."
"The princess's mansion needs someone to take care of it. And the only one who is temporarily capable and whom I believe in is you. Do you want to refuse?"
Ouyang Qingque looked at the princess, and the two looked into each other's eyes; but in the end Ouyang Qingque had to lower his head: "Yes, I am waiting for the princess to come back."
Liu Xinyu turned around and left, walked to the main courtyard, and immediately ordered her left and right to prepare. There was no need for a carriage or anything else, she just rode on horseback.
Within a moment, the princess was dressed in military uniform and took the lead in riding horses, rushing out of the imperial capital and heading west. The mounts of the princess and her party were not dragon horses, but they were also excellent demon horses. There was a black wind rolling under the feet of these demon horses, almost floating on the ground.
One foot above the ground, walking on the wind, as fast as a shooting star.
However, at noon, the princess arrived at Ninghe County and saw Liu Jingming with a tangled look on his face.
Seeing the princess coming, Liu Jingming was overjoyed: "Princess, tell me how to mobilize the 10,000 elites here and the 100,000 troops in the county.
The late emperor said, let me protect Ninghe County with all my strength. Protecting Ninghe County will protect the foundation of the Qixia Kingdom.
The new emperor ordered the deployment of troops.
I wrote to General Wu Fanghai, but so far there has been no response.
I’m so anxious!”
Liu Xinyu sat down and nodded slowly: "I understand the City Lord's worries. The City Lord does not need to go to the front line, and we even have to prepare for the worst."
"worst plans?"
Liu Xinyu hesitated for a moment, and finally said slowly: "Just...in case the imperial capital falls!"
"Ah!" Liu Jingming jumped up in fright. It was Liu Xinyu's hypothesis that was so... shocking!
Liu Xinyu shook her head slightly: "City Lord, I just said that this is the worst plan."
Liu Jingming gradually calmed down, and he finally gradually realized that this so-called worst plan is very likely to happen! Based on Liu Jingming's contact with the princess, the princess is not old, but she has a good way of doing things. At least she talks.
In terms of performance, it is quite rigorous.
Since the princess said that the imperial capital might fall, this possibility is very high. Could it be said that the war on the front line has been corrupted? Wasn't there news of good news from Zhang Hao?
Could it be that something happened that I didn't know about?
