Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 189
After talking about what happened in the East Factory, Yan Shiyi poured a cup of tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.

Yan Shiyi smiled sadly: "After staying in Dongchang for almost 20 years, I suddenly became homeless." After Wang Man died, no one even knew his life experience. Yan Shiyi felt that he was so lonely in this world. So thorough.

Sun Yanxi saw his emotions and couldn't comfort him, so he had to make jokes to distract Yan Shiyi: "Now Zhai Kun won't even let him have a surname of 'Yan', so just change his name and start over!"

"Then the surname is Cheng. Cheng is a good surname. It has fewer strokes than 'Yan' and is easier to write. Besides, I am the only son of my father. You come to my house and be my big brother!" Cheng Hanbai said seriously.

"Eleven, if you follow me and make great achievements in the future, I will give you a national surname." Xie Ruitang also smiled and said: What the hell is my uncle who has few strokes and is easy to write?

After a few of them interrupted, Yan Shiyi was no longer angry. He smiled and said: "What's so great about the country's surname? I like whatever surname I like, and I like the surname Yan. Why does Zhai Kun care about me? You You'd better be optimistic about your Xie family's future. Cao Baoli will announce in court tomorrow that the emperor will lead the Northern Expedition, how will you respond?"

"What?!" Several people present shouted.

"You must have been provoked by the ministers this morning. Yan Xi, hurry up and inform your father and others. We will meet here tonight to discuss countermeasures!" the prince said after calming down.

Sun Yanxi nodded and hurried out.Looking at his back, the prince turned to Yan Shiyi and said, "It seems that your opportunity to make meritorious deeds will come soon."

"Then let's see, am I, an idle guy, worthy of going with you?" Prince Chu walked in expressionlessly with one hand behind his back.When he entered the palace, he stopped Sun Yanxi and asked a few questions. When he walked to the door, he heard the prince's words and guessed that the prince himself wanted to lead troops to go on an expedition.

"Both you and Han Bai are getting married next month. Han Bai has no choice but to go to the battlefield, so don't make excuses to run away." The prince raised his eyebrows, indicating that he could see through Sima Zhao's heart at a glance.

The prince said sternly: "Oara and Tatar are of the same race. Tatar and the Celestial Empire are at odds with each other. Oara doesn't know what attitude to take. I don't want to marry an enemy princess without thinking."

"Tell me something more substantial." The prince said with a smile.

"Three hundred war horses." The prince was unambiguous.

"Deal!" The prince laughed.

He rushed back to the East Palace before the palace gate opened.Surprisingly, Haitang was not asleep and was waiting for him. "Why didn't you sleep?" Xie Ruitang asked while taking off his coat.Haitang didn't say anything. She untied his gauze hat, gently let down his hair, and took an ebony comb to slowly comb it down.

"What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?" Xie Ruitan grabbed her hand, pulled her from behind and sat on his lap, twisting her braid around his fingers.

"Are you ready to lead troops to the front line?" Haitang asked.

Xie Ruitang pretended to be shocked and said, "Is my face already so obvious?"

Seeing his exaggerated expression, Haitang chuckled: "I saw Chang Le sorting out your armor. If it's not for fighting, what are you looking for?"

Xie Ruitang hugged Haitang tightly, and Haitang also hugged his neck and put her face on the top of his head. The two of them hugged each other quietly for a long time without saying anything.

The autumn wind blows and the candlelight flickers. "The chamberlains are planning to encourage my father to go to the Northern Expedition. There is only one way to stop this, and that is..." Xie Ruitang decided to explain. Before he could finish, Haitang lowered her head and kissed his lips.Her lips were a little cold, and Xie Ruitang felt distressed.

In the morning of the next day, the genius was bright, and the ministers were waiting outside the palace gate to open the door and go to court.Today all the ministers are here, including Mr. Chen Ge.Who doesn't want to show his face in front of the emperor?They were all afraid that the emperor would forget about him.

"The Emperor has arrived!" All the courtiers in the hall knelt down.

"Everyone loves you!" The emperor has not seen everyone for a long time, and he feels very friendly. He smiled and said: "How come today? Mr. Chen Ge, are you feeling better?"

Mr. Chen Ge came out and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. When the country is in danger, every man has the responsibility. As long as I still have breath, I will crawl to see the Emperor."

Cao Baoli did not let the emperor continue chatting, and said: "Recently, the Tatar army has gathered towards the northern border of our empire, and the fighting in the important towns on the nine sides has been tense. Today the emperor is here to mobilize troops and generals to solve the crisis of the Tatar invasion in one fell swoop. Please give me other memorials Just don’t play.”

"I report to Your Majesty, we have many soldiers in the Celestial Dynasty, how can we be afraid of the Tatar barbarians? The Celestial Dynasty will not let any grass or tree!" Kangding Hou Zhao Yingnan came out and said firmly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to lead the troops to the northern border , support the border troops!"

The emperor smiled and said: "Zhao Aiqing, my heart is the same as yours. I think back when I was still the prince, you followed me to fight against the Tatars. This time I plan to personally lead the expedition and lead the troops in the Northern Expedition!" As soon as the emperor said this. , there was an uproar in the hall.

King Kang took a step forward and said: "Father, your dragon body is precious. Now that the situation is unstable, you should stay in the capital to avoid disturbing the morale of the army. My son, I am willing to lead the troops to the north."

"His Royal Highness Prince Kang," Cao Baoli interrupted him: "As a prince who has never been on the battlefield, are you smarter than His Majesty? Or do you think you can replace His Majesty?" Cao Baoli's words were poisonous, and Prince Kang was He was slapped in the face and retreated, not daring to speak.

"Your Majesty! You can't go on a military expedition yourself!" The ministers knelt down.

"Eh? Cao Baoli, didn't you say that my personal expedition was expected by everyone? Why are they all crying?" The emperor looked at the kneeling ministers below and asked strangely.

Cao Baoli hurriedly laughed and said, "Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, you have to cry..."

The Crown Prince Xie Ruitang stood up and said solemnly: "Father, there is a saying in Taoism: Soldiers are a weapon of inauspiciousness, so those who follow the Tao are nowhere to be found. My father is a Taoist, and when you go to war in person, you will definitely use your soldiers to draw blood. This is the way to practice Tao." This is a big taboo! My father has cultivated his son for many years and ordered his son to personally conquer the northern land many times. As the crown prince, my son is willing to take his father’s place in the northern expedition to boost the prestige of our country. He vows to drive the Tatars back to the grassland and restore the stability of our kingdom. Peaceful!"

Pei Shangshu below glanced sideways at King Kang: Let’s see what the prince said?how do you say?
After hearing the righteous words of the crown prince, the emperor couldn't help but burst into tears: others stopped me because I was the emperor, but the prince stopped me because he cared about my cultivation!The prince I chose is really considerate.
Immediately called out: "Tian Jun, prepare a decree. Crown Prince Xie Ruitang is appointed as the general of the country. He is given a military talisman. The crown prince personally orders 30 troops to carry out the Northern Expedition, bravely drive away the Tatars, consolidate our territory, and promote our country. God is mighty! I admire this."

All the ministers in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. The crown prince was familiar with leading the troops in the war, and it was a hundred times more powerful than the emperor's own expedition. What's more, the emperor is difficult to replace, the prince is easy to replace, and the dynasty is not prone to chaos.All the ministers hurriedly shouted long live the mountain.

The crown prince accepted the military talisman, and Cao Baoli murmured to Wu Dezhong next to him. Wu Dezhong cleared his throat and was about to volunteer to be the supervisor of the army, when Guo Dehong came out and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to supervise the army for the Northern Expedition." , accompanied the prince to conquer the Tartars." Guo Dehong is Guo Kuan's adopted son. He served the emperor with Guo Kuan for several years, so of course the emperor recognized him.

The emperor smiled and said: "It's very much what I want!"

The prince and Guo Dehong thanked the emperor and returned to the ranks of courtiers.Finally, in the last morning court meeting, the emperor and his ministers were happy as they wished.

Cao Baoli wanted to kick Wu Dezhong in the butt:
idiot!Speak well, why are you clearing your throat?
