In the blink of an eye, in May, envoys from the state of Chu arrived in the capital with documents. All civil and military officials in the court paid close attention to this matter.

News came from the border that the Chu State was defeated by the Southern State. Now it was defeated one after another and suffered heavy losses. Four cities were captured in succession. This envoy must be asking for help from the Jin Dynasty.

The next day at the court meeting, the Minister of Honglu Temple mentioned the envoy from Chu State, and many old ministers hurriedly opposed it.

"Your Majesty, the Southern Kingdom has strong military strength. If our country sends troops at this time, it will be against the Southern Kingdom and may lead to fire!"

"Yes, although our dynasty has enough troops and horses, its financial resources are not as good as those of the Chu State. It is really not appropriate to provoke the Southern State."

Chu Guang had just ascended the throne and was in full swing. It was unwise to make enemies of the Southern Kingdom at this time.

Most civil servants opposed sending troops to aid Chu, believing that it was time to protect themselves wisely at this time.

Many military officers in the court believed that Chu Guang was very ambitious. If he conquered the Chu State, obtained financial resources, and expanded his troops massively, the consequences would be easy to imagine, and they needed to be taken precautions as soon as possible.

At this time, it would be the best idea to send troops to aid Chu.

The two sides were at loggerheads, and each had their own opinions, but they were able to get away with it.

The old emperor wanted to send troops to aid Chu, but at this time he lacked a strong statement. Otherwise, how could he send troops if the people were not inspired?

He looked at Su Juan in the crowd and almost winked at her.

Su Juan was watching on the sidelines at this time, wanting to see if there were any troublemakers in the court at this time.

She remembered that when Song Qianfan was in power, the Chu State asked for help, and some courtiers even suggested sending troops to attack Chu, taking the opportunity to get a share of the pie, or negotiating terms with Chu. They could send troops and ask Chu to cede three cities and mines. .

At that time, all those individuals were thinking of taking advantage of the situation. They were short-sighted and only saw the immediate benefits. They never thought about what the Jin Dynasty, which was adjacent to Chu State, would face after the Chu State was defeated.

And now these ministers, whether they are sending troops or not, they are all thinking for the good of the Jin Dynasty. Su Juan feels somewhat relieved and has a sense of accomplishment.

Without the troublemaker, the situation in Dajin was really peaceful.

Seeing that the Su family had been silent for a long time, the ministers on both sides were arguing so much that they almost started fighting. The old emperor couldn't sit still anymore. What's going on with this girl? Isn't she usually so good at talking? Why didn't she say anything at this time? Two sentences?

The old emperor coughed lightly and said, "Jinyang, what do you think about this matter?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the hall immediately looked at Su Juan.

Everyone's heart is raised. From a selfish point of view, they definitely don't want to go to war, which will waste people and money.

But based on my understanding of Su Juan, this battle must be fought.

Sujuan: My grandson thinks that these troops are going to be sent out. "

The old emperor squinted his eyes, feeling satisfied.

The courtiers who supported sending troops breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the princess was still sober.

The courtiers who did not support sending troops immediately became anxious, "Your Highness, this battle cannot be fought!"

The Su family looked at it sternly and said loudly, "This battle must be fought. The Jin Dynasty is adjacent to the Chu State. Once the Chu State is conquered, the Southern Kingdom will inevitably go south to attack the Jin Dynasty."

"How do you know that today's Chu State is not tomorrow's Great Jin? In the future, when our Great Jin is besieged on all sides, where should we turn for help?"

Duke Ping's heart boiled with excitement when he heard it. He even wanted to jump up and applaud his niece and granddaughter. What he said was so good!

The censor said, "The relationship between our dynasty and the Southern Kingdom is relatively harmonious now. Two years ago, the monarch of the Southern Kingdom sent envoys to our dynasty, intending to make peace. If we send troops at this time, we may destroy the friendship between the two countries." The censor advised earnestly, Trying to explain more so these people understand the seriousness of the matter.

Is fighting such a simple matter?

Liu Miaoqing and Liu Xuan were immediately worried for Su Juan.

Su Juan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty the Censor only knows that Chu Guang once sent us as an envoy to our court and intended to make peace with him, but he didn't know that the spies from the Southern Kingdom had reached out to our Jin Dynasty back then, intending to steal our court's secrets and border military defense plans." As soon as this statement came out, the courtiers were shocked!

The censor was even more stunned. When did this happen?

The old emperor's face suddenly turned cold, "Is this happening!?"

The courtiers immediately started talking about it. They really didn’t expect that Chu Guang had this intention a few years ago!

Su Juan continued, "When Chu Guang proposed a marriage and acted in such a high-profile manner in the capital, my grandson felt strange, so he secretly sent someone to investigate, only to discover that someone in the Central Military Department of our court was actually colluding with the Southern Kingdom."

As soon as these words came out, Minister of War's head went cold, and he thought to himself: This matter has nothing to do with me, right?

"In order not to alert the enemy, the grandson took advantage of the situation and subtracted the drawings, secretly letting people keep an eye on the spies, and frequently delivered false news over the past few years."

"At the beginning of the year, the spies placed in the capital by the Southern Kingdom tried to sneak out of the city and let Sun'er's people stay. They also carried many secrets about our dynasty with them. Now they are being held in the Ministry of Punishment."

The old emperor was surprised. He really didn't know anything about this matter. He really didn't expect that this girl did so many things quietly, but she had a lot of foresight.

At this time, the Minister of Punishment also came out to speak, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. I was about to report back to your Majesty today. At this time, the gang of thieves yesterday confessed and captured many people. These spies have been secretly circling our court for many years. It can be seen that The ambitions of the Southern Kingdom are by no means limited to Chu."

The old emperor was furious, "What a southern country!"

At this point, those who did not support sending troops remained silent. The ambition of the Southern Kingdom was clearly revealed. If the Chu Kingdom was conquered, the Jin Dynasty would be next.

Seeing the atmosphere rising to this point, Su Juan thought to herself that it was time for someone to come out and ask for help.

Just as she was thinking about it, the generals stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Southern Kingdom is so ambitious and must not encourage its arrogance!"

"I am willing to lead the troops to help the Chu Kingdom repel the Southern Army!

The people in the court suddenly became excited, and everyone stood up to second the decree.

The old emperor looked at the scene in front of him and was very pleased. "I already know what you are thinking, but there are still many details to discuss about aiding Chu. There is no rush today."

After the court meeting, the old emperor summoned several ministers and also invited the envoy from Chu to discuss sending troops to aid Chu.

After several discussions, the leader of the army still had no clue. This matter was important and required a veteran with many years of experience in fighting. However, the King of Han was now guarding the border, and several of Duke Ping's veterans who had fought on the battlefield in the early years were already old.

At this moment, Su Juan suggested, "Grandfather, my grandson thinks that General Shi from the Huaizhou Camp may be qualified."

Several ministers thought about it and found out that Shi Yuan fought with Duke Ping in his early years. Later, when the two of them failed to deal with each other and the war subsided, Shi Yuan was transferred to Huaizhou. This man was more than ten years younger than Duke Ping. He has a calm temperament. The last time the imperial guards mutinied in the capital, he led the troops to put down the rebellion. This person is indeed suitable.

The old emperor looked at Duke Ping, wanting to hear his opinion, "Xie Qing, what do you think?"

Duke Ping was slightly stunned. Thinking that Xie Xun was still in the Huaizhou camp, he still said truthfully, "I think that if you want to lead the troops, Shi Yuan is really suitable."

The old emperor immediately finalized the decision and ordered Huaizhou to dispatch Shi Yuan to lead troops and accompany envoys to aid Chu.

At this point, everyone should feel that the main plot is almost over.

I have a good New Year, and I want everyone to have a good New Year, hey hey hey.

As for the part about the emperor’s husband, I’ll leave it blank. Let’s take a look at it. Hahahaha. Secretly, I actually prefer the line between Liu Miaoqing and the heroine.

In fact, for the heroine, whether it is Liu Xuan, Yu Zhong, or Song Qianhang, these three people are all very good, and it is inevitable to be tempted, but she does not belong to this world after all, so sobriety is better than sinking.

Of course, if I were the heroine, I would definitely want them all (〃ω)

If you have any extras you want to watch, you can leave a message. I’ll look at the arrangements. If there aren’t any, I’ll just write down a few that I personally like.
