The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses
Chapter 94: The Proud Little Princess and the Iron-blooded General (29)
The eldest prince frowned and fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly spoke,
"Dong Linpei has always been an honest and simple person. Besides, his grandparents are still in the capital. He should not have any rebellious thoughts."
The confidant reminded him, "But don't forget the Sixth Princess!"
Hearing the words "Sixth Princess", the eldest prince showed a trace of disdain on his face and sneered,
"Hmph, with the Sixth Princess's crazy look, what can she achieve? I heard that the snow in the northern border was particularly heavy this year, and the snow was almost knee-deep. I think the journey must be very difficult.
Maybe we should wait a little longer and see what happens next.”
Yan Lie was also looking at the report in his hand at this moment, and said with regret, "It snowed so heavily in the northern border this year, and Xiaoliu has been gone for a year. I wonder when he will be able to come back?"
Desheng shook his head when he heard this. It was snowing so heavily, but His Majesty was only concerned about when the Sixth Princess would return, or when her dowry would return? He never thought about what would happen to the people in the northern border.
No wonder, no wonder...
However, the news of the change of the Northern Di ruler still reached the capital, but the version was that General Murong rebelled because his beloved wife was killed. Yan Lie was very happy to hear this.
The more chaotic other places are, the better. This way, he can sit firmly on the throne. I originally wanted to arrange someone to ask,
However, when Queen Li brought up the matter of selecting concubines, the emperor's attention was immediately diverted to other matters, and he no longer cared about the affairs of the Northern Di.
But the eldest prince felt something was wrong and asked, "Didn't they say that Dong Linpei had captured Murong Hui? What's going on?"
The staff said, "According to the spy's report, General Dong said that for the sake of stability in the northern border, the King of Beidi will not pursue the matter of Chidan City, but he asked for General Murong and the captives to be released."
"when did it happen?"
The staff frowned and said, "It was said to be two months ago."
Upon hearing this, the eldest prince slammed the table and asked, "Why did you send the message back only now?"
"There was too much snow in northern Xinjiang this year, so it was delayed."
The eldest prince nodded, but he still felt uneasy. "Send more people to the northern border to find out what's going on."
"Yes."
Three months later, the much-anticipated talent show finally came to an end.
As for those who wanted to enter the palace, Queen Li would let them do as they wished. As for the rest of the girls from good families, Queen Li naturally did not want the Emperor to abuse them, so she let them go.
She looked at the six beautiful girls who had just come in and smiled knowingly.
Three of them are the eldest prince’s men, one is the second prince’s, and two are the third prince’s men. The most surprising thing is that there is also a person who is the eldest princess.
I guess she is thinking of seeking some benefits for her husband!
Fight, the fiercer the better, she laughed, and her expression became more and more amiable. The six girls felt relieved when they saw the queen's expression.
Before they entered the palace, they were taught by their families that the person they must not offend the most in the harem was the Queen. Even though the Queen was not favored, it was said that she was very capable and had the final say in the entire harem.
One year later
"Report - Your Majesty! Urgently report to the East Frontier, 800 miles away!"
With this shout, the ministers who were discussing state affairs in the court suddenly became quiet, and all turned their eyes to the dusty messenger soldier at the door.
Yan Lie's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and shouted loudly: "Present it quickly!"
The ministers below looked at each other, wondering in their hearts: What exactly happened in Dongjiang? You know, Dongjiang had been peaceful before!
Yan Lie quickly took the military report, unfolded it, and his face suddenly turned pale. He slammed the dragon table hard, almost causing the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table to fall to the ground.
He stared at the words on the report with wide eyes and gnashed teeth, questioning angrily,
"We have lost three cities in a row within one month. Why are you reporting this only now?"
Minister Hu of the Ministry of War was shocked when he saw this. He stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, please calm down and take care of yourself! How is General Yang now?"
Yan Lie closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "General Yang... has died on the battlefield."
For a moment, the entire court fell into deathly silence.
Lord Hu took a step back, "What?"
There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone in the court was shocked when these words were spoken.
The ministers whispered to each other. Everyone knew that General Yang had been guarding Dongjiang for more than ten years and nothing had happened. How could this happen?
Yan Lie handed the military report to Desheng next to him. Desheng took it immediately and gave it to the Minister of War, Lord Hu.
After reading it, Lord Hu passed it to other people.
Not long after, the originally quiet hall became noisy, with people talking about it.
"Supreme Governor Wu actually betrayed the court at the critical moment and opened the city gates to let the enemy in!
This directly led to General Yang falling into a desperate situation, being isolated and helpless, and eventually dying in battle!"
Yan Lie was so angry that his face turned red, his chest kept rising and falling, and he shouted angrily,
"How abominable! The traitor Wu Zhong must be severely punished! Not only that, his family members cannot escape responsibility either, all of them will be killed!
If anyone is able to resist the Dongyi now, I will appoint him as General Zhenguo. "
In the court, all the ministers looked at each other, with a hint of worry in their eyes.
In just one month, three border defenses had been breached!
The Dongyi people's attack this time was obviously well prepared, and their momentum was so fierce that people couldn't help but feel afraid.
At this time, the eldest prince stood up and broke the silence.
He said to the emperor with a firm face: "Father, I think the best solution is to start peace talks with the Dongyi. I am willing to lead Lord Feng and General Pan to the talks."
Lord Feng is an important official in the court and is extremely wise; General Pan is a veteran general with a great reputation. With these two people accompanying us, I believe the chances of a successful peace talk will be increased.
The emperor frowned slightly and sighed deeply: "Well, let's do as the eldest prince said."
