It's over! After eloping, I was caught by my cold husband and taken back to his room

Therefore, General Xue sent a letter to the capital, hoping that the emperor would send reinforcements and troops to support.

It is just about driving those people away, not killing them all.

If possible, it would be best to capture the king directly.

In this way, ordinary people can also be spared from war.

When the emperor received the letter from the border, his brows furrowed deeply.

If something like this happens and war breaks out, no emperor wants to see such a situation.

If there had been a constant fighting, it is unknown how the historians would have recorded it.

I'm not a real tyrant, and I can't bear to see innocent people being implicated.

When I received the letter, it was almost the Dragon Boat Festival.

The emperor called people in and discussed the matter overnight.

General Xue couldn't help but say, "These barbarians are really abominable. Can't they just surrender?"

If they surrender, the people on both sides of the river can share the river, and next year, with the relief grain from the imperial court, they can live a peaceful life.

What they lack the least now is food.

In addition, that was his most respected eldest son, so General Xue became a little angry for a while.

The eldest son has been away at the frontier for almost four years and has never returned to Beijing.

He doesn't even know whether he will be able to see his son again in his lifetime!

After hearing what General Xue said, the emperor frowned, but he didn't want to lose his temper on the spot.

"You know what the temperament of that barbarian leader is like."

The emperor glanced at General Xue, his voice and tone tinged with helplessness: "If they were willing to surrender, why would there be so much trouble?"

General Xue rubbed his hands anxiously, then suddenly remembered something. He threw his robe towards the emperor and knelt down: "Your humble servant asks to go to the battle!"

He clasped his fists and looked at the emperor expectantly.

The emperor looked at General Xue's gray hair and couldn't help but frown: "How can this be possible?"

General Xue was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Why is it not working?"

The emperor frowned and said, "How old are you? You're just a bunch of old bones. You're all broken when you get to the frontier!"

General Xue became even more anxious. "Your Majesty, although I am old, I have never neglected my training. I am in good health and will definitely not let those barbarians take advantage of me. Please rest assured! Please let me go!"

"Besides, I am familiar with the border wars and know the situation there best! It would be most appropriate for me to go, Your Majesty!"

Looking at General Xue’s impatient look, it can be seen that he really wants to go.

"That won't do! All the men in your Xue family are outside. If you go there too... and something happens, the late emperor will not let me go even in the underworld!" The emperor spoke righteously and with an extremely firm tone.

The emperor spoke beautifully, but everyone present could hear what he meant.

The women of the Xue family and Old Man Xue stayed in the capital as hostages.

It reassures the emperor and all the officials.

The Xue family is capable and has military power.

If they all go, win the battle, and declare themselves king, it will be impossible to control them!

No matter how great the risk is, generals with too much military power have been suppressed since ancient times.

Even though General Xue wanted to go, he knew that the current situation was such that he could not change it at all!

If I want to change, I'm afraid it will only disgust the emperor.

Therefore, he just held on to hope and thought about giving it a try. What if it worked?

The emperor was anxious to send someone there, and he was indeed a good candidate.

"Your Majesty, if you want to choose someone else, it will not be easy to choose that person." General Xue still wanted to fight for it. He looked up at the emperor and said another sentence.

The emperor was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer for a while.

Those guarding the border are all from the Xue family.

If someone came with an imperial edict to reinforce, would the Xue family soldiers be convinced?

Let’s not talk about others, just those sons and grandsons of General Xue, who can control them?

The people who went there were weak and could not intimidate.

Those who go there become stronger...

Who is stronger than those people from the Xue family?

It's not realistic at all!

Lu Huaiyang stepped forward and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Father, if that's the case... why not let me go!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Huaiyang with some surprise.

At the beginning of the year, he wanted Lu Huaiyang to make military achievements.

But now the drought has just begun and the war has just begun.

Letting Lu Huaiyang go is actually the most appropriate thing for the Xue family generals.

But what happens next?

If there is still war, Lu Huaiyang doesn’t know when he will be able to return to Beijing!

I'm afraid that they will just go to other countries to continue fighting at the border!

During this period, Lu Huaiyang had almost dealt with all the relationships in the capital.

He is prudent and cautious in his work, and there is no stronger opponent than him in the court now, so his popularity is actually very high.

What is more important for Lu Huaiyang now is to stay in the capital and give priority to his offspring.

Instead of going out on an adventure!

Unless... unless Ye Nanyue is pregnant!

In this way, if he is allowed to leave, the officials can be reassured.

The emperor will also feel more at ease.

The emperor said, "It is not appropriate for you to stay in the capital to help me handle government affairs."

Lu Huaiyang's expression became even more serious, and he bowed respectfully to the emperor: "Father, it is most appropriate for me to go."

Lu Huaiyang thought for a moment, and seemed to understand the emperor's concerns. He said, "I will be back after I finish dealing with this matter. It just so happens that General Xue and the others are relatives of my princess, and I have never met them."

The emperor frowned and said, "Seventh Brother, please don't get involved in this matter. Let me think about it."

Lu Huaiyang kowtowed: "I beg Your Majesty to give me a chance! I promise to resolve this matter and return to the capital within a month."

General Xue glanced at Lu Huaiyang and saw that although he was kneeling, his back was straight and his words were sonorous and powerful, without any hesitation.

In the past few months, the Xue Mansion has had a lot of interactions with the Xianwang Mansion. General Xue is actually quite confident in Lu Huaiyang's character and ability.

Seeing Lu Huaiyang's seriousness, he turned to look at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I also think... the virtuous king is the right person to go!"

"No matter his ability or status, he is very suitable."

The others followed suit and knelt down, begging the emperor for his consent.

The emperor's original intention was not to completely prevent him from going.

I’m just afraid that he’ll take risks and not come back.

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Since you all say so, I will allow him to go."

"But I have a condition."

When Lu Huaiyang heard the emperor say this, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but there seemed to be a hint of cunning in his tone.

There was seriousness and solemnity in his voice.

Lu Huaiyang felt strange for a moment, frowned, and looked up at the emperor.

There was also a cunning look in the emperor's eyes. He probably didn't expect Lu Huaiyang to dare to look up at this time. He didn't have time to restrain himself and was seen by him.
