meet again

In Prince Fu's mansion, Prince Fu's father looked dignified. Princess Ninghui wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, crying: "Father, the border gate is too dangerous. Even General He was killed in battle. Or write a letter, Call Yang'er and Lang'er back! We don't want any credit."

If a person makes a mistake, what's the use of military merit!

Zhu Yang is the eldest grandson of Prince Fu's mansion, her nephew, and Ding Lang is her only son.None of them will be fine.

Prince Fu's son let out a long sigh: "Sister, you speak lightly. The father went to find the prince himself, and put the two brothers into the accompanying list at the risk of face. Now he is coming back for no reason. How could the father make such a fuss?" mouth."

Prince Fu still has to lose face!

Princess Ning Hui said with red eyes: "Father is inconvenient to write this letter, I will write it. I will write the letter when I get back tonight, and send someone to the border gate overnight, so that they will set off immediately after receiving the letter."

Prince Fu frowned, and said in a deep voice: "No! Is it child's play to fight a war? There is no reason to go back to Beijing without authorization. His Royal Highness is also at the border. Isn't the emperor worried about the safety of the prince? Don't you have to hold on? gone."

Emperor Qing'an also had only the crown prince.In terms of luxury, who in the world can match His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
The head of Ninghui County was speechless for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "The prince is the crown prince of Daqi, so naturally he can't run away. Otherwise, what face will he have to face all the ministers in the future. We don't have to compare with the prince."

Prince Fu frowned even tighter: "You bastard! If such words are spread, what face do you have to enter the palace? You listen to this matter as your father, so you don't need to write the letter. Let the two of them stay at the border with peace of mind. .”

"Father..."

Prince Fu looked sharply at Princess Ninghui.

Princess Ninghui knew Prince Fu's temper very well, and knew that begging was useless.When Prince Fu arranged for her to marry into the Ding family, he had such an involuntary expression.

Prince Fu loves her daughter, but he is not obedient.When she became dictatorial, she couldn't do anything about it.

She could only be trembling, silently praying to the Bodhisattva every day to bless her son and natal nephew.

Princess Ninghui picked up the handkerchief and covered her face, sobbing softly.

Prince Fu's son was upset when he heard that, and couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Father, General He died in battle. Thousands of soldiers died in battle, and another [-] were captured. The frontier soldiers are afraid that they will lose all morale. I don't know what's going on now."

It will take five days to send the battle report from the border to the capital, and change horses all the way day and night.In other words, this is the battle report from five days ago.The Tartars are not only not stupid, but also fierce and cunning, and they will never miss such a good opportunity.I don't know how fierce the fighting has been these days.

Prince Fu also thought of this level, and his heart was quite heavy: "Wait for the battle report to be sent to the capital!"

After a pause, she once again sternly told Princess Huining: "Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, there is no such thing as lying there and falling into the sky. Both of their brothers are in their twenties, and they both have children. Even If there are three ups and two downs, the incense will not be cut off. If you want to earn military merits that day, you have to bear the dangers that come from it."

Princess Ninghui was so remorseful that her intestines were turning green.

Knowing this, killing her would not let her son leave Beijing with the prince.It's too late to say anything now.I just hope that Ding Lang will be smarter, hide behind, and don't get carried away by himself.

Prince Fu and Shi Zifei were also weeping in the room.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, Prince Fu and Shi Zifei hurriedly wiped away tears, stood up and greeted her: "How is it? Did the father let go?"

Prince Fu's son shook his head: "My sister begged for a long time, but my father didn't let go, and even scolded my sister with a livid face."

Prince Fu's concubine felt bitter in her heart, and tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes: "Then what should I do? Let's just forget it?"

Prince Fu's son sighed: "Father is right. No one is more noble than His Royal Highness the crown prince. The crown prince is waiting at the border, how can others come back."

For the first time in her life, Prince Fu Shizi concubine had the same idea as Princess Ninghui, and she regretted it.

……

On the same night, a similar situation took place in King Zhao's mansion.

It is inconvenient for Wang Zhao’s concubine to come to beg her father-in-law. Concubine Zhao was worried about her son’s safety, so she cried and begged Zhao Wang: “Let’s find a way to bring my son back! It's dangerous."

Wang Zhao cast a cold glance at Princess Zhao with his plump face: "You have long hair but little knowledge. What's the point of going back to Beijing at this time? Once you lose the reputation of running away, what face will you have in the future?"

"You are not allowed to mention this matter. If you are really worried about his safety, you can pick two hundred soldiers from the mansion and set off with the army to the border, and let the soldiers guard you every step of the way."

That's a good idea.

The distraught Princess Zhao wiped away her tears, and began to quickly think about which reliable people to send.

……

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Emperor Qing'an had been reviewing memorials and dealing with political affairs, and he was busy until midnight.Eunuch Yang stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Does the emperor want to sleep in peace?"

Emperor Qing'an said, "I'm going to Jiaofang Hall."

As expected, Empress Yuan, who usually went to bed early and slept soundly, did not sleep tonight, and there were still wet tears in her eyes.

Emperor Qing'an looked distressed, reached out to wipe away the tears for Empress Yuan, and comforted softly: "Jiao Niang, don't worry. General He attacked the enemy camp at night and was ambushed and killed. Most of the enemy camp's food and grass were also burned, and there were many casualties. .The enemy army will not last long without food and grass. Maybe they will retreat soon."

Empress Yuan, who was easy to fool on weekdays, suddenly had an idea: "Those Tartars are running out of food and grass, so maybe the siege will be even crazier. The border war will be even more dangerous."

Emperor Qing'an's heart tightened, and he wanted to say something to comfort him, but Empress Yuan quickly wiped away tears: "You don't need to say anything. The more dangerous you are, the more difficult it is for the crown prince to retreat. Otherwise, the frontier army will lose morale and confidence even more."

"I'm worried about my son's safety. But he is the crown prince of Daqi, and he must never run away."

"He has to be like you, and take on the heavy responsibilities he has to deal with. Only in this way can he be qualified to be the prince, and he can take on the responsibility of the country and society in the future."

Emperor Qing'an suddenly hugged Empress Yuan tightly, and it took a long time before he whispered in a hoarse voice: "Jiaoniang, it's good if you can figure it out. Aren't I worried about my son? But now he is the only one who can calm the hearts of the people and the army. He must not return to Beijing. "

He is the father, and even the son of heaven.No matter how worried about the prince's safety, you have to hold back.

Empress Yuan whispered, "How about that General Meng?"

Emperor Qing'an breathed out: "General Meng is younger than General He, and equally brave and good at fighting. Moreover, General Meng and the Yuan family have always been on good terms. Don't worry!"

Empress Yuan hummed, then suddenly raised her head: "I heard that Shen You volunteered to go to the border?"
