Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1338: Be prepared for danger
Seeing that these people were ignorant of the current situation, the emperor's smile faded a bit:

"The affairs of the royal family are also the affairs of the state. The Crown Prince is deeply distressed by what the Second Brother did. He does not want to see another incident of fratricide, so he has come to ask me to grant him a marriage.

I also think this is a good idea, so I agreed without asking Han Qing. Now that the imperial decree has been issued, you keep shirking your responsibilities, as if you are unwilling to marry the Crown Prince. Do you have other ideas?"

Although the emperor asked gently, it still made Concubine Xian and the others break into cold sweats:
What other ideas could a military commander have if he was unwilling to follow the imperial decree and marry the crown prince, except that he wanted to establish another crown prince.

Thinking of this, even if Han Yaohui was unwilling, he could only thank the emperor happily.

The emperor was disappointed by the others, and his expression was not as bright as it was at the beginning:
"Since Han Qing is so optimistic about the prince, why don't you stay and watch the two of them get married? I heard that you love your daughter very much. If you are delayed on the battlefield in the future, it would be a pity for you to miss the ceremony."

Han Yaohui was confused by the emperor's sudden proposal and replied cautiously:

"The Crown Prince is a man of noble character, and has been cultivated by Your Majesty for many years. I am marrying up, and I thank Your Majesty for granting me the marriage. Although I love children, I am also Your Majesty's military commander, and I must first serve my country before I can have a family.

In the northern battlefield, although Tianchu and Mobei are only testing each other and have not yet engaged in a full-scale war, they are also on the verge of breaking out. Yeliang has been thieves for many years and may take advantage of the chaos to attack. If the Zhenxi Army does not have a commander in chief, they may take advantage of the opportunity. "

The emperor snorted coldly when he heard this, but did not respond.

This made the few people even more frightened, and they hurriedly expressed their loyalty and gratitude to the emperor for granting them the marriage.

Han Yaohui made the situation sound extremely tense, and the few people were so thirsty that the emperor reluctantly nodded, restrained his smile, and sighed sadly:

"I don't know when you will return victorious from the battlefield. If you haven't returned to the capital by the time of the wedding, your father and elder brother will not be by your side. Since there will be no one to take care of the wedding, wouldn't the Crown Princess also be without someone to send her off? Han Qing has been protecting the country for many years. I granted the marriage with good intentions, but now the Crown Princess has been wronged... It seems that I am old. I granted the marriage on a whim, and I only thought of these things now. You can't blame me for complaining and shirking my responsibilities."

Chu Chengye heard this and thought that the arranged marriage was being revoked. He was delighted and was about to step forward to persuade them, but Han Yaohui spoke first:
"Your Majesty, please don't think so. Your Majesty loves me so much that I have no intention of shirking my responsibility. I am just afraid that my daughter is too stubborn to be a good match for you. Although the situation on the battlefield is tense, it is not a matter of urgency.

How about I lead the troops to go out tomorrow, and Qi'er stays in Kyoto for a while to watch the wedding ceremony on my behalf, and then go to the border after the wedding."

The emperor frowned and thought carefully:

"This is a way to have the best of both worlds. Since Han Qing has said so, I naturally cannot stop him. I will entrust the border to Han Qing. Tomorrow, the Crown Prince will send Han Qing to the battle on my behalf."

Han Yaohui saluted loudly:
"I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust!"

Zheng Cheng sent a few people away to express his gratitude, and sighed in his heart:
The heart of an emperor is unfathomable.

After leaving the palace gate and walking to a deserted place, Han Yaohui raised his hand to stop his eldest son Han Qi from asking questions. He turned back to look at the wide-open palace door, which looked like a sinister tiger's mouth:

"Sister, if you stay in one place for too long, you will easily let down your guard. You should always be prepared for danger."

At this moment, Concubine Xian also sorted out her thoughts and looked back at the palace door, feeling a chill in her heart:
They were so concerned that they just came to my door. The prince was good at trying to figure out the emperor's intentions...
