After all, the mother has repeatedly explained that marrying a daughter-in-law is like nothing else. There can be no carelessness and it must be as meticulous as possible.
Generally speaking, this is not what he is very good at, but in this world, there are not many things that people are naturally good at, it just depends on whether they are willing to put their heart into it.
"It's simple." Xu Mingyi said immediately: "Your Majesty, there is no need to take action. I will send people to send a letter quickly and ask the clan members of Yuan's business to bring it to the capital. This will be easier to hide from others and will never be called.
No one notices it at all."
The people of the Yuan clan have always been self-reliant. Although they do not often visit the Zhen Guogong Mansion, their basic contacts have never been interrupted.
Moreover, the Yuan family also has several shops in Beijing, and often travels between the two places.
Therefore, writing a letter and asking the Yuan clan to bring the person over was more thorough than His Majesty the Prince of Yan's method of kidnapping the person. If the person was missing for several days, the Yuan clan would have to report it to the official.
"..." After King Yan was stunned, he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
When he mentioned this, his original intention was to say hello to the child, but the little girl took over the matter directly.
For those who don’t know, I would say that he tactfully hinted that the child helped...
The little girl seemed to have read through his thoughts and said seriously: "It's all so that things can be handled more appropriately. Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite to me."
Seeing the magnanimous look in the little girl's eyes, King Yan also abandoned those rigid and detailed thoughts, and said with a smile, "Then Miss Xu can arrange it."
"I just wonder if the prince can leave in a day or two in the evening? When Lin Yuan arrives in the capital, it will take at least three days for the merchants to rush."
This does not include the time it took Uncle Zhu to rush to deliver the letter.
"Being a day or two late won't be a big hindrance." King Yan said: "To avoid suspicion, I originally planned to leave the capital with my third brother one after the other and let him go first."
Xu Mingyi nodded.
This makes it easy to arrange.
"Without further delay, this junior will go back and arrange this matter now." Xu Mingyi stood up and saluted.
Wu Chao then stood up: "I'll give you one as a gift."
What can I give you in these two steps?
Xu Mingyi felt that it was not necessary, but seeing that he had already left the chair, she could not refuse, so the two of them left the private room together.
When she reached the corridor, she asked people to stop.
And he really just wanted to see her off, not that he had anything to say to her alone.
Xu Mingyi whispered: "There are many people in front of you, so it's hard for people to recognize you."
Wu Chao said "hmm", nodded, and watched her leave with soft eyes.
After returning to the private room, he met a pair of eyes with a meaningful smile: "You boy, you have good luck and good vision... Miss Xu, this child is very different from ordinary girls."
The young man did not dodge this at all: "Yes, I think so too."
From the first moment he came into contact with Zhao Zhao, he felt particularly admirable.
And while admiring it at that time, I also felt quite regretful - if this girl's family were a man, it would definitely be a big deal.
Now that I think about it, when he had such an idea, he was probably too young to realize how valuable his wife is...
The father and son talked a lot more.
The sun is getting stronger outside the window, and the green banana leaves are slightly curled.
"After the incident with King Xiang, the emperor especially couldn't hear the word Dongwu... Yesterday, I went to the palace with the ministers to discuss matters, and I vaguely heard that the emperor had the intention of attacking Dongwu." King Yan said.
Attack Dongwu?
Wu Chao frowned quickly.
The collusion between King Xiang and the enemy was revealed. The top priority is to send people to Dianzhou to reorganize the troops stationed in King Xiang's fief, rectify the affairs of the fief, and eliminate the hidden dangers that King Xiang may have left——
As for Dongwu, without King Xiang's internal and external cooperation, they would not dare to attack aggressively at this time. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they should know that it was not a good time now, and this gap was enough for the court to establish a relatively solid foundation in Dianzhou.
Line of defense.
In comparison, sending troops to attack Dongwu at this time will only make the situation more chaotic. The mess in Dianzhou has not been cleaned up. It is even possible to send troops rashly and suffer defeat.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor's move was motivated.
He was obviously out of his mind due to anger.
Wu Chao said: "This move will do far more harm than good. I think the ministers will definitely persuade and stop it."
King Yan nodded.
Blockage is inevitable.
But it’s hard to say whether it can be stopped or not.
Sure enough, in the morning court two days later, Emperor Qingming mentioned the attack on Dongwu.
Many officials have stood up and stated the drawbacks and possible consequences of this move.
Emperor Qingming had a cold look in his eyes: "Dongwu colluded with our vassal king to disrupt the foundation of our Daqing. If I just let it go, where would my Daqing's face be? How would I have the face to explain to my mother who was almost harmed by her?
"
The ministers had different expressions upon hearing this.
Why did you drag the Queen Mother out?
What kind of face, face...hasn’t the emperor been able to see the reality clearly?
And if we lose the battle, wouldn't it be even more shameful?
When the ministers tried their best to persuade, Xia Tingzhen, who had not expressed his position, stood up.
"I think what your Majesty said is reasonable. If the cave crow is not eradicated in time, it will definitely be a big disaster in the future."
Not only deterrence, but also eradication?
The military attachés at the back stared blankly when they heard this - to put it lightly, it was like shoveling big dung! Just say it was removed with a shovel and it was all gone?
Seeing Xia Tingzhen speak, several people stood up one after another to second their opinions.
Officials from both sides were at loggerheads.
However, this was no match for Emperor Qingming's determination.
In the end, it was decided to send troops to conquer Dongwu, and Liu Sheng was appointed as the commander-in-chief.
Seeing Liu Sheng standing up to receive the order, the faces of several civil servants who were opposed to Xia Tingzhen suddenly became even more ugly.
No wonder I unconscionably agreed to the emperor’s proposal to send troops...
This is probably a plan to let Liu Sheng take the opportunity to recruit the troops of King Xiang!
Anyone with eyes doesn't know that Liu Sheng is Xia Tingzhen's man?
Seeing this, several ministers were angry, sad, and even disappointed.
Although the emperor has never been said to have great wisdom and lacks some real patterns, and everyone is aware of this, but fortunately in the past, the emperor listened to their advice and knew how to take into account their thoughts. Now it is better, as if he is leaving.
Like a donkey on a rope—it can’t hold it anymore!
After leaving the Jinluan Hall, many officials sighed and walked away.
"Master Jiang, please stay..."
Ji Dong, who came to the palace specifically to report something today, quickly caught up with the old man in front of him who had white beard and hair and a rather majestic look on his face.
This is Jiang Pei, the oldest tutor in the dynasty.
As for how senior this person is - he was the last number one scholar in the previous dynasty. After the founding of Daqing, he was appreciated by the late emperor and initially entered the Ministry of Rites.
"What's wrong with Mr. Ji?" Jiang Pei asked as he looked at Ji Dong walking over.
"I am a lowly official, but I have something to ask you, sir..." Ji Dong gave a long salute.
Jiang Pei stroked his silver beard with a smile in his eyes. He always likes young people who know etiquette, and this Yin of Jifu is an upright official. He has always heard about it, so his tone was quite gentle: "Please tell me——"
