The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

"Your Majesty, Dai Viet, Lang Wa, and Da Qian are in different directions from our country. If the urgent report is correct, I'm afraid they have planned this all along. They have evil ambitions, and Chong Yue is just an excuse for them to start a war."

Liang Zhan's fingers were long and thin, with calluses on their tips. They tapped the table from time to time, making a slight sound. He had already seen through what Duke Dingguo had said.

"Daqian has always been at odds with Daxia. Ten years ago, after the defeat, they ceded six cities and sent us many treasures. Your Majesty, out of kindness, could not bear to see the two countries at war, with the civilians and soldiers dying in vain, so he agreed to their peace letter. I never thought these despicable villains would not change their ways and even harbor such delusions against Daxia..."

When I think of the urgent report from the border, the old emperor of Daqian actually wanted Chongyue to marry his prince who was nearly 40 years old. It was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, and an ugly man wanting beauty.

Xiang Huayan was filled with rage. If this wasn't in front of the emperor, he would have opened his mouth and cursed.

When Qi Deyuan heard this, and seeing that the imperial physician was about to collapse, he felt kind-hearted and took the imperial physician away first. He wanted to get away from this Shura field as soon as possible and listen to less things that he shouldn't hear, so that he could live longer in this palace.

After Qi Deyuan left with the imperial physician, only the three of them were left, looking at the garrison map spread out in front of them, silent in this brightly lit night.

Xiang Huayan sat with his father opposite His Majesty and saw for the first time that his father's straight back bent.

Even he was furious when he saw the urgent message, let alone his father.

My father has always loved my little sister the most. After Chongyue was born, he talked about her and missed her every day.

If Your Majesty really agrees to send Chongyue to Daqian for marriage, my father will definitely do his best to destroy Daqian and stop this.

Xiang Huayan has already prepared for the worst. The Xiang family is determined to protect Daxia until their death, but there is no need to let the Xiang family's daughter die here. I know that my younger sister will definitely not be able to bear it.

Xiang Huayan reviewed in his mind all the military tactics he had learned in his life, and had already figured out how to fight the battle with Daqian, which route to attack from, and which team to send to retreat and attack.

Every step was calculated more carefully and seriously than any previous war, and not a single mistake could be made.

Xiang Jinsong stared at the garrison map in front of him without saying a word. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly stood up, stood aside, and with a bang, he knocked his knees on the floor and knelt down to His Majesty.

When Xiang Huayan saw his father kneeling, he immediately understood the meaning of his father's kneeling. He put down the chess pieces in his hand, stood up quickly, and knelt beside his father.

When Liang Zhan heard the two knees knocking against the ground, he only raised his head slightly and spoke in a calm tone:

"Duke Dingguo, what are you doing? I haven't decided to let Chongyue go to Daqian to marry, why are you so anxious..."

"His Majesty."

Xiang Jinsong interrupted His Majesty loudly. Under normal circumstances, Liang Zhan would have been angry, but seeing Duke Dingguo's anxious look and thinking of the majority of Daxia's military power in his hands, he forced himself to hold back.

"Your Majesty's heart is the direction that all civil and military officials will point their swords at. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, even if it costs me my old bones, I will definitely put an end to the arrogance of Daqian and take the head of the Daqian Emperor and present it to Your Majesty and Daxia."

Liang Zhan just smiled faintly when listening to Duke Dingguo's touching and heartfelt words. Duke Dingguo has always loved Yue'er and loved her as much as anyone in her family, so he expected him to say this.

If he was willing to delay a little longer, Duke Dingguo would probably be willing to hand over his military power in exchange for Chongyue staying in the capital.

He would never let Chongyue go to a dangerous place like Daqian, but if he could take back the military power from Duke Dingguo, it would relieve his worries.

Liang Zhan followed the meaning of Duke Dingguo's words and had already planned what was to happen next. He was going to inconvenience Chongyue for a while. He believed that she was smart enough to understand that my painstaking efforts were all for Daxia.

Liang Zhan personally stood up and helped Duke Dingguo up.

"Daqian's strength is not comparable to those small border states. The border is not peaceful right now. Duke Dingguo is old after all, and not as invincible as he was in his youth. If this war begins, I wonder how many soldiers Daxia will lose. I will consider this further."

Xiang Huayan didn't expect that His Majesty would hesitate on the matter of Chongyue. Just as he was about to open his mouth to express his determination, his father moved his foot slightly and stepped on his foot.

Although the force was not strong, it was enough to serve as a reminder.

Xiang Jinsong was in no hurry to respond to the emperor's words. Chongyue's marriage was still under planning. Daqian was ambitious, and the emperor would definitely not give him an accurate reply today.

Xiang Jinsong changed his firm attitude, as if he suddenly understood something. With tears in his eyes, he looked at the emperor with burning gaze.

"I was negligent. Your Majesty is absolutely right."

Duke Dingguo's sudden change of attitude made Liang Zhan a little confused.

"Your Majesty is well-versed in many matters and has a long-term vision. I, your humble servant, am unable to reach you. In this case, I am overly sentimental. Your Majesty is concerned that Chongyue is, after all, a princess of Daxia. It is her responsibility as a princess to be supported by the people and to dedicate her life to Daxia. If Your Majesty wishes to arrange for Chongyue's marriage, please grant your permission and allow me to personally escort Her Royal Highness to the marriage."

After saying that, Xiang Jinsong seemed to be unable to hold on, and his body trembled and was about to fall down.

Fortunately, Xiang Huayan supported him in time, otherwise he would have been unable to move for half a month.

The old fox who fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield is indeed not a vegetarian.

Liang Zhan snorted inwardly, released Duke Dingguo's hand, and returned to the dragon throne. With a sullen expression, he spoke slowly:

"Duke Dingguo is in such poor health. If that day really comes, we should find someone else to escort the princess to a distant marriage. After all, the journey is long, and we don't want to tire the old general, Duke Dingguo."

Liang Zhan decided to give the Xiang family some time to himself. They acted affectionate in front of Chongyue every day. I just said I was considering it, but the old man took advantage of the situation. If Chongyue knew what happened today, she would be sad again because she is sensitive.

"I will send the imperial physician to Duke Dingguo's mansion tomorrow to give him a thorough examination. He is old and should not act impulsively. He should take good care of himself. From tomorrow on, he will not have to attend court again. It will not be too late to attend court again when he has recovered."

Liang Zhan's words were almost like telling Duke Dingguo not to attend court anymore and just stay at home to enjoy his retirement.

The final outcome for the three people in the Yangxin Palace was that Duke Dingguo was so angry at His Majesty's words that he fainted, and the imperial physician who had just walked a short distance away was urgently summoned back.

When taking the pulse, he knew that the Duke of Dingguo's breathing was only slightly disordered and he was not yet at the point of being furious, but the Duke of Dingguo held a high position of power in the court.

Daxia was about to go to war again. When the Xiang family's war gods returned to the battlefield, Daxia's legend of invincibility would spread throughout the world. He could not afford to offend anyone, so he had to bite the bullet and, under the death gaze of His Majesty, confirmed that Duke Dingguo was anxious and had a heart attack. After pretending to be calm, he revealed the prescription to Dingguo and did not forget to instruct the General of the Cavalry to take good care of Duke Dingguo.

When he came out of the Yangxin Palace, he didn't even realize that his entire back was soaked with cold sweat. When the evening breeze blew, he felt a little cold.
