Chapter 419 Sickness
Coupled with jealousy and hatred, he simply said he couldn't get out of illness.

The eleventh prince became the crown prince, the status of empress Shuhuang and noble concubine soared, and even the palace of Yannan County became very popular.

On the contrary, the Shu Palace has become empty.

As the saying goes, one will ebb and flow.

Zhang Gaoqiu hadn't seen his daughter Zhang Qiaoqiao for more than half a month, after encountering setbacks twice in Prince Xuan's mansion, he turned around and went to see the emperor.

The emperor seemed to know his purpose, so he said that the dragon was unwell and avoided seeing it.

Zhang Gaoqiu was so angry that he was going to die.

Thinking about how he fought for decades and made great contributions to Da Xuan, when did he suffer from such uselessness?

In a fit of anger, he also claimed to be sick.

Ying Ning was the first group of people in the palace to get the news.

Her first feeling was that something was wrong.

Sure enough, every two days, news came from the southeast coast that Japanese pirates invaded again, killing many fishermen and businessmen along the coast, burning, killing, and looting, even pregnant women who were pregnant with Liujia.

It aroused great anger among the local people, and local officials asked the imperial court to send troops to suppress the Japanese.

The emperor immediately summoned Zhang Gaoqiu.

However, Zhang Gaoqiu claimed to be sick again.

The emperor sent an imperial physician to treat him, but he refused again.Even the imperial physician was kicked out.

Being so domineering and arrogant made the emperor very angry, and also caused dissatisfaction among many ministers in the court.

No matter how great his contribution is, he is only a courtier after all. When the people along the coast are suffering from the Japanese pirates, he even threatened him with this, which is simply murderous!

The emperor has been dissatisfied with Zhang Gaoqiu for a long time, but now he is just holding back.

Zhang Gaoqiu's meaning is very clear, if he wants to go to war, he must release his daughter.

It's just a woman, the emperor doesn't take Zhang Qiaoqiao seriously, it doesn't matter if she doesn't let her go.

But the question is, if Zhang Qiaoqiao is let go like this, where will the emperor lose face?

Did he succumb to Zhang Gaoqiu's threat?

For three days in a row, the emperor tossed and turned and was disturbed by the war in the southeast coast.

Except for Concubine Ming, no other concubine dared to take the initiative to approach the emperor, so as not to suffer disaster.

Concubine Ming is ignorant of world affairs, but she can often say unexpected words.

When she was having dinner with the emperor, she said: "Could it be that Zhang Gaoqiu is the only one in our court who knows how to fight? My concubine remembers that the king of Yannan County is also very capable of fighting."

The emperor said: "In terms of strategy and military strength, Li Yanxing is no worse than Zhang Gaoqiu. But the problem is that Li Yanxing is not good at naval warfare, not to mention that he needs to guard the west, so he can no longer be distracted by looking at the southeast."

"Then send someone else." Concubine Ming said, "Zhang Gaoqiu seems to be getting old too, the imperial court has to train some new people to replace him."

"Why don't I know? It's just that I couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while."

"The concubine thinks that there is someone who is very suitable."

"Aifei, how many generals can you recognize?" The emperor sneered and shook his head, lowering his head and chewing on the tasteless food.

Concubine Ming said: "That day at His Majesty's birthday banquet, I heard someone mention General Xiao Tang and praise him as the bravest No.1 among the young generation of Daxuan. Could it be that even he can't do it?"

The emperor glanced at Concubine Ming, thoughtful, then relieved.

With Concubine Ming's mind and brains, no one would be foolish enough to ask her to be a lobbyist.

"It seems that Concubine Ai is very optimistic about Tang Qing?" the emperor asked.

"It's hard to say whether you like it or not." Concubine Ming gave the emperor a dish with chopsticks, "The concubine just doesn't want His Majesty to be angry with Zhang Gaoqiu again."
