In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

"..."

General Li was also stunned, and seemed not to realize what the prince meant.

He just said to the Crown Prince anxiously: "We came to the East Palace to look for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in the East Palace at that time."

"The servants said that you went to the Queen's palace. We turned around and went to look for the Queen."

"In the end, you weren't in the Queen's Palace. The servants in the Queen's Palace said that Your Highness had just returned to the East Palace."

"You are in the East Palace at this time, so we hurried back. Fortunately, Your Highness the Crown Prince is here at this time."

"......I see." The prince nodded, feeling somewhat puzzled, and looked at General Li carefully.

Thinking of what Bai Lu had said to him before, he smiled at General Li and said calmly, "Well, let's go to our father's palace and talk about this Turkic matter."

Before Bai Yansong realized what was going on, he rushed over and said, "Hey... it's better not to fight."

"There was fighting in Liangzhou for several years. Fortunately, the people had the food aid from Bailu, so they didn't suffer much. But it wasn't good after all."

"Then Liangzhou has reduced taxes for three consecutive years, and the people can barely make ends meet from now on."

"If we go to war with the Turks again, Liangzhou will not be affected by disasters, but if Qingzhou, Pingzhou, and Zhaozhou are affected, how will the people survive?"

"There are no wealthy merchants willing to give their grain to the people."

The prince rolled his eyes at Bai Yansong and said, "You still think your daughter is powerful! How can a wealthy businessman be willing to give his spare money and food to the people?"

"Now that you know, treat your daughter well from now on."

"Okay, you can go back to the Bai family first. Leave the matters here to our secret guards in the East Palace. I will continue to interrogate Haitang when I come out of the imperial study."

The prince took a look inside the room. There were 10 secret guards in the room at this moment, so he had nothing to worry about.

Ten secret guards were enough to guard Haitang, but after thinking about it, the prince said to the secret guards in the room, "Guard the room well, and you can ask questions first."

"Whenever she opens her mouth, just write down what she says on a piece of paper and stay here."

"If she doesn't speak, you will stay here."

In short, no matter Haitang speaks or not, they have to stay here.

The secret guard inside quickly said, "Understood, Your Highness."

The prince nodded with satisfaction, then put his arm around General Li's and walked away in a very intimate manner.

Seeing the Crown Prince holding his arm so tightly today, General Li spoke cheerfully and said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, it has been a long time since you have been this close to me."

The prince nodded with a smile, "Yes, do I have the strength in my arms?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's arms are truly strong and powerful." General Li hurriedly flattered him.

"..."

The two of them soon arrived at the imperial study.

When they arrived at the imperial study, the crown prince and General Li heard the emperor inside say angrily: "How dare the Turks make such a move? They are just barbarians who rely on their own grasslands and eat raw meat and drink blood!!!"

"Why, is it the same as the previous Cheng Wang?!"

Liang Guogong was comforting the emperor: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Turks are just making a move now. They haven't really resorted to weapons yet."

"If they really want to resort to violence, they should think twice. After all, our Dawu is developing very well now, and we also have trade relations with the Turks."

"If we fight them, we will certainly cut off their food supply."

"What's the use of having horses over there? They don't have as much food as we do here. They only have a lot of cattle, sheep and horses over there."

"Cows, sheep and horses eat a lot of grass, but the Turks can't really eat grass. So your majesty... don't worry so much."

Duke Anguo also nodded and said calmly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if the Turks really come, I can just put on armor, mount my horse, and kill them all with my sword."

General Shi smiled and said to the emperor and several dukes, "Your Excellencies, there is no need to do this. I will go first!"

"Duke Anguo, you are already in your forties or fifties. If you go to war now, your health will definitely not be as good as before. It is better for us young people to go first."

"You make it sound as if you, General, are very young." Duke Anguo immediately became displeased when he heard this.

The emperor heard their relaxed tone, so he smiled and said to them: "You... Alas, if the Turks really attack quickly and hastily, our Dawu will be overwhelmed."

Hearing this, the Crown Prince and General Li pushed open the door and saluted to the emperor inside.

The prince said loudly to the emperor: "Father, why do you have to destroy your own ambition to enhance the prestige of others? Even if the Turks come to fight us, we are the strong side and the Turks are the weak side."

"They don't have as much money as we do, they don't have as much food as we do, they don't have as much military force as we do, so it's going to be very difficult for them to succeed."

"It's just that they are barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood. They don't understand these twists and turns."

"Father, you are so hesitant even though you know you have the advantage. It's nothing more than you are worried about the war and taxation, which will make the people's life difficult."

"But why worry so much about the people...We in Dawu have money."

"You know, my mother's family is the richest merchant family in the world. At most, our Bai family can just spend a few hundred thousand taels of silver to subsidize the people in these states."

"..."

After listening to his words, the emperor's expression became noticeably better.

Yes, what he is worried about now is just the lives of the people.

But his queen and his prince had plenty of money in their families, and they really wanted to do good for the people of the world, so they were willing to pay.

The emperor nodded, his expression softened, and his tone towards the prince became much gentler: "...The prince is here, please take a seat."

As he said this, he immediately asked the eunuchs below to find a seat for the prince.

Steward Zhang hurried forward to find a seat for the prince and also got a seat for General Li.

The prince breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the emperor was obviously much nicer to him than before.

That's good. Before, the emperor's attitude towards me had obviously become much colder because of the Bai family's affairs, and his attitude towards the queen was also much worse.

Now that he treats me so well... Well, it must be because he is rich. It is true that money makes the world go round.

The prince sighed in his heart, but dared not show it on his face. He smiled at the emperor and said, "Father, moreover, the Turks are just ready to make a move..."

"I wonder how many troops are gathering over there?"

The emperor's face gradually darkened, and he said to the prince, "There are probably 10 soldiers and horses."

"!!!"

When the prince heard this, his expression gradually became serious.

With 10 soldiers and horses...to say they are ready to take action is an understatement.

If 10 soldiers are ready to move, it means they are preparing for war, it is just a matter of sooner or later.

The prince took a deep breath and said, "It's April now, so I guess... by August or September, the Turkic side will have little food and the weather will start to get cold."

"They will take advantage of this opportunity to attack Dawu."

Because they wanted to plunder the autumn grain in the city to survive the cold winter of the Turks.

That is to say, in just four or five months at most, they would have to fight a battle with the Turks.
