My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

As expected, after she finished speaking, the hall fell into silence.

Murong Che glanced at the row of civil officials and said, "My dear ministers, if you believe that you are more capable than Princess Qinghe and can issue a military order to defeat the Japanese, I can appoint you as a general on the spot!"

The civil servants looked at each other and retreated back to their own teams.

They quickly gave in, and Murong Che was very satisfied. "Princess Qinghe is well versed in military tactics, skilled in horseback archery, and has a deep understanding of Japanese ninjutsu. The Japanese are causing trouble on the border this time, just to take advantage of the fact that no one in Jiuzhou knows ninjutsu. I am very pleased to see that you all support Princess Qinghe. Since Princess Qinghe is the popular choice, I believe she is worthy of being the commander-in-chief!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Murong Che's appointment of Chu Xinyue as commander was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

As early as a few days ago, he and Xue Youli had discussed who would be the more suitable head coach in the battle between Jiuzhou and Dongying.

There are indeed several young generals with outstanding abilities in the court.

However, they have little experience and no background, and it would be difficult to convince the public if they were promoted rashly.

Chu Xinyue can convince most people just by relying on the reputation left by her father Chu Jinghan.

Among the generals present, many had followed Chu Jinghan in his campaigns.

Many of them were even saved by Chu Jinghan.

Although Chu Jinghan is no longer with us, they still have a filter for Chu Xinyue and believe that a tiger father will have a dog daughter.

What's more, Chu Xinyue had performed well during the autumn hunt before, and all her skills were taught by the generals under Chu Jinghan.

Just now, Chu Xinyue's words and actions in the court were all like her father's in those days. Everyone was willing to follow her as the leader and obey her orders!

Chu Xinyue looked at the generals who supported her and felt more excited than ever before.

"Please rest assured, I didn't ask for the title of commander-in-chief on impulse. I sincerely hope that our soldiers from Jiuzhou can defeat Japan and fulfill my father's last wish of unifying the Jiuzhou continent!"

Although the country of Japan is small, their leader is very ambitious. He often uses ninjas to harass various places along the border and provoke trouble everywhere.

Unfortunately, ninjas are secretive and difficult to catch.

Therefore, many local officials in Northeast China were deeply troubled by them, but they had no way to deal with the ninjas and could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

As people from Jiuzhou, we all hate the Japanese deep down.

After listening to Chu Xinyue's words, the anti-Japanese factors integrated into the blood were activated.

They couldn't help but clench their fists and shouted in unison, "Defeat Japan! Unify Kyushu! Defeat Japan and unify Kyushu!"

Seeing that all the generals were so united, Murong Che drafted an imperial edict after leaving the court and asked Wang Defa to deliver it to Prince Kang's palace.

He went to Zhaohua Palace as soon as possible.

Xue Youli had actually learned the news of Chu Xinyue's appointment as commander from the Book of Heaven's Secrets.

As soon as Murong Che arrived, he told Xue Youli what happened in the court today.

Xue Youli was very happy to see Murong Che's unwavering support for Chu Xinyue. "Your Majesty has appointed A Yue as commander today. He must believe, just like me, that A Yue has the ability to win this battle!"

Murong Che raised his hand and pinched her cheek, a doting smile in his eyes, "I don't believe in Chu Xinyue, I believe in you."

The other generals were not afraid of the Japanese army, but were very troubled by Japanese ninjutsu.

Murong Che listened to Xue Youli's thoughts and knew that she and Chu Xinyue had a way to deal with Murong Ye and those ninjas, so after weighing the pros and cons, he thought that appointing Chu Xinyue as the commander was the best outcome.

Xue Youli raised her head and met the man's charming peach blossom eyes. "Your Majesty, do you think A Yue and Prince Kang can capture Murong Ye?"

Murong Che pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The war has just begun, and I cannot predict the final outcome. The only thing I can do is select the most suitable generals for this battle and do my best to minimize the casualties in Jiuzhou."

As a ruler, every decision must be carefully considered.

Because every decision he made concerned the lives of tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers.

Xue Youli looked at the young emperor in front of her, listening to him tell her about the impending war on the northeastern border. She lifted her skirt and knelt before the man, "Your Majesty, I beg to accompany Chu Xinyue to the northeastern border to jointly resist the foreign enemies!"

[Although the method to break the Japanese ninjutsu is simple, it still requires someone to take command. And with the tacit understanding that Chu Xinyue and I have had for so many years, I am undoubtedly the best candidate.]

When Murong Che chose Chu Xinyue as the commander, he guessed that Xue Youli would go north with them.

At this moment, seeing her kneeling solemnly on the ground, Murong Che frowned and pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement, "Okay, I promise you."

Xue Youli originally thought that she would have to spend some more time talking, but she didn't expect Murong Che to agree so easily.

A hint of surprise flashed in her almond-shaped eyes, and she bowed to the man, "Your Majesty, I bow to you and thank you!"

Murong Che walked up to her, reached out and helped her up from the ground, and took her hand. "Ali, it's very hard to go to the border with the army. You are willing to give up the comfortable life in the palace to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, but I can't bear to let you out of my sight."

Once she leaves the palace, the possibility of her encountering danger outside will increase.

Xue Youli held the man's hand and coaxed him softly, "Your Majesty, Princess Qinghe is a skilled warrior, and she will protect me. Besides, only by delivering a fatal blow to Murong Ye and keeping his life forever at the northeastern border can the people of Jiuzhou sooner enjoy a peaceful life!"

Murong Che naturally understood this, but he didn't want to be separated from her for so long. "What do you think, should I lead the army in person?"

"do not want!"

Xue Youli shook her head, dismissing his idea. "Your Majesty, Xue Qingyao is still in contact with Murong Ye. If you leave the palace at this time, Xue Qingyao will definitely cause trouble. Send someone to keep an eye on her, and it would be best if you could find a reason to detain her servant Xiao Zhuzi!"

The love poison has tied Xue Qingyao's life to Xiao Zhuzi's. If Xue Qingyao makes any unusual moves and Xiao Zhuzi is dealt with, Xue Qingyao will also die.

Murong Che nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I've sent an order to Prince Kang's Mansion, and they'll leave for the border the day after tomorrow."

Xue Youli thought for a moment and said, "Then I will leave the palace for Prince Kang's residence tomorrow night and go with them the day after tomorrow."

As she spoke, she remembered something. "Oh, the New Year is drawing near, and I heard from my second brother that it hasn't rained in Jiangnan for nearly six months. The crops in the fields have all dried up! I previously snatched the silver notes from Cuiru, and together with my family, I pooled tens of thousands of taels to buy grain. We stored it in the unused courtyard across from the Xue Mansion. Your Majesty, I'll give you the key to the courtyard. If you ever need to dispatch grain, just send someone over."

Murong Che looked at the key in Xue Youli's hand, reached out and pulled her into his arms, "Ali, with a wife like you, what else could a husband ask for?"

From the moment he became emperor, he knew that if he took this path, he would be destined to be alone.

But God was kind to him and he met Xue Youli.

His misogyny was cured, the rift between him and his fifth brother disappeared, and from some point on, all the civil and military officials firmly supported him.

The two of them had been through many ups and downs together, and he believed that their relationship would be even stronger after they wiped out Jiang Yuanshan's rebel army and pacified the war in Japan.

Xue Youli looked at Murong Che and suddenly remembered the scene of their first meeting in the imperial garden.

At that time, they were still wary of each other.

From the initial mutual testing and calculations to the current mutual trust, they have taken every step very cautiously.

Later on, they shared weal and woe, formed a united front, developed a bond, and gradually fell in love.

As Xue Youli thought about it, the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

It turns out that they have so many beautiful memories between them!

"Your Majesty is a good emperor who loves his country and his people. I admire you and am pleased with you."

……

The next day, Xue Youli changed into men's clothes and left the palace for Prince Kang's Mansion. When she left, she left Banxia and Xiao Zhongzi to guard Zhaohua Palace, and took A Yan with her alone.

As soon as she left, Murong Che sent Chi Yan to secretly protect her safety.

On the way to Prince Kang's Mansion, A Yan was very excited. She would lift the curtain to look at the scene outside the carriage, and then pull Xue Youli to ask questions.

"Your Majesty, Sister Banxia has been with you the longest. Why don't you let her accompany you out of the palace?"

Xue Youli took a sip of tea and made up an excuse, "Banxia is too rule-abiding. I find her boring."

Ah Yan rolled her eyes and continued, "Everyone says that Eunuch Zhong is your confidant and he also knows martial arts. Why don't you bring him along?"

Xue Youli put down the teacup and shook his index finger. "With Xiao Zhongzi's mediocre skills, he's not as good as me! Bringing him around would only make him a burden!"

Ah Yan was stunned and spoke tentatively, "But I'm not as efficient as Sister Banxia, ​​and I'm not as good as Eunuch Zhong in fighting. What do you want from taking me out of the palace?"

Xue Youli replied, "Because you're talkative and quick-witted, you can entertain me."

After hearing Xue Youli's evaluation of her, A Yan felt a little proud. "That's right. When Your Majesty is away from home, you have a lot of people to serve you, and there is no shortage of guards to protect your safety. The only thing you need to entertain yourself is someone like me who loves to talk and chat."

Xue Youli smiled and nodded, "So didn't I choose you to accompany me?"

"But my lady, are we really going to the northeastern border?"

"Of course." Xue Youli looked at her curious expression and curled her lips. "In order to gain the power of the Iga Clan, Murong Ye married the youngest daughter of the Iga Clan's leader. He is now the son-in-law of the Japanese. After all, the Emperor and he are brothers, so he sent me to represent him to deliver a wedding gift to Murong Ye at the border."

As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on A Yan's face froze. "Your Majesty, you said the virtuous king... no, Murong Ye, did he really marry a Japanese woman?"

"How could the news the Emperor's spies sent back be false? Even though Murong Ye has been stripped of his title of prince, there are still many women who want to marry him just based on his looks!"

As Xue Youli was talking, she noticed that A Yan had stopped talking. "Huh? A Yan, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale? If you're not feeling well, don't go to the border with me. I'll have someone send you back to the palace."

Ah Yan quickly shook her head, "No, I'm fine! I want to accompany the Empress to the border!"

As he was speaking, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Prince Kang's mansion.

Xue Youli jumped off the carriage and said to her, "Go to Prince Kang's Mansion and have a good rest. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

Ah Yan responded, clenching her hands tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Murong Ye clearly promised her that as long as she could help him pass on the message, he would marry her in the future.

She had been working so hard in the harem to monitor Xue Youli's every move for him during this period, so why did he marry someone else, and a Japanese woman at that?

The more A Yan thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became. She made up her mind that when she reached the border, she would find an opportunity to ask Murong Ye in person why he had betrayed their oath.

Xue Youli deliberately revealed the news of Murong Ye's marriage to A Yan. Seeing that A Yan was emotional, she ignored her and went directly to find Chu Xinyue.

Ayan is the bait she brought with her. Maybe when they reach the border, Ayan can bring them a surprise!
