Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

The Qi family had hated Xia Chixiao ever since Xia Yuxuan's incident happened.

If he hadn't come back, the title would have belonged to Yuxuan, and Yuxuan wouldn't have had to take the risk, let alone lose his life!

This incident did not implicate the Hou Mansion, and Xia Haicheng only received a few beatings, but they lost a son.

Now, Xia Chixiao is not close to them.

Also, her younger brother was also broken, and the old pious woman who sued her younger brother often visited her, and she was closer to her than her own grandmother.

Qi's eyes were full of hatred: "Master Hou, he harmed Yuxuan, this matter can't just go away like this!"

Xia Haicheng said calmly: "I can't get through it!" This son looked down upon his father more and more. He was a white-eyed wolf who didn't know how to raise him!

He went to see the eldest prince again.

Since the prince left the capital, their plan has been implemented.

They were paying attention to Xia Chixiao's every move, specifically, all the movements in the capital, and they would not let any trivial matter affect their big plans.

"Xia Chixiao led two thousand elite soldiers and headed north!"

"Northern Territory?"

"Yes, it's the Northern Territory. Not only Xia Chixiao, but also the new Anyuan General Pei Shi'an also led two thousand elite troops and also went to the Northern Territory!"

"Father, what do you mean by this?"

"Your Highness, according to what I have seen, Xia Chixiao was born in the Northern Territory, and Pei Shian's father has always been a guard in the Northern Territory. Their feelings towards the Northern Territory are different from others. Now Qianyuan is also ready to move, and there is a war in the Eastern Territory. , The Northern Territory cannot be uneasy. The emperor’s move is to send these two people to Anbei Territory!”

"This is very likely. Pei Shi'an has requested to guard the northern border several times. It is reasonable for the emperor to agree. But after all, he has never been to the northern border. Xia Chixiao knows the situation there best. The emperor also sent him The two of you should consider this!"

The eldest prince nodded thoughtfully: "Since they are heading north, it will not have any impact on our plans. There must be no chaos in the north, so don't pay attention to them!"

The eastern border has lost its city, and if the northern border continues to be in chaos, even if he sits in that position, he will not be able to hold it against a Shang Qi who has shrunk by more than half. He is still clear about this.

"My father has not tried the case of General Fuguo for a long time. In your opinion, does this mean that my father does not want to shake the prince's arm?"

"We have submitted the documents several times, but the emperor is in poor health and energy, so this matter has been left unaddressed. But don't worry, Your Highness, the evidence is absolutely unquestionable. As long as he is brought to trial, Wen Jingshan will not be able to escape his fate. This matter He is powerless. Even if the emperor doesn’t want to touch him, he must.”

"Your Majesty, it is true that the dragon's body is not in good condition. Perhaps it is because he knows that this is an ironclad case and early or late trial does not matter, so His Majesty temporarily ignored it."

"Your Highness, don't worry. The best thing to do is to draw the fire under the cauldron. Wen Jingshan is now a grasshopper after autumn and can't jump!"

The eldest prince nodded lightly. They had been planning for many years and were closely linked. There really wouldn't be much suspense about this matter. The next step was to get rid of the fuel under the cauldron.

Five days after the prince left the capital, new battle reports came back from the eastern border. Taifu Ye was defeated again! Fortunately, although they were defeated, they did not lose another city.

There was an uproar in the court.

After losing two battles in a row, is it really necessary to cede territory and seek peace?

In the gloomy atmosphere, there was another debate over whether to increase troops or sue for peace.

Qi Sheng Emperor went to court despite being ill and was in low spirits at the moment, but he announced his withdrawal from the court in just two quarters of an hour.

The ministers looked at each other, some had worried eyes, some had expressionless faces, some were frowning, some were thoughtful...

The depression of defeat lingered not only over the court, but also over the entire capital.

At this time, the prince should not have left Linzhou territory yet.

The eldest prince's eyes were dark. This situation of hurriedly retreating from the court in the middle of the morning court had never happened before. His father's health was really bad. So their plans have to be stepped up.

Battle reports from the front line were not that timely. But a month later, the prince, who was supposed to have arrived in the east, disappeared along with the food and grass.

That was the second batch of food and grass from the great country in the east, and it was life-saving food on the battlefield!

He is the crown prince of a country!
This news shocked the court even more than Taifu Ye's defeat.

Qi Sheng Emperor even vomited a mouthful of blood in the court hall.

His body looked like it was really failing.

"Looking for it, we need to dig three feet into the ground to find the prince!"

The ministers looked at the furious Qi Sheng Emperor. The emperor was actually quite dissatisfied with the prince because of the affairs of the auxiliary general. Unexpectedly, as soon as the prince disappeared, the emperor's fatherly heart returned.

However, there was an attack on the Prince's Road, and the corpses of two thousand soldiers were lying on the roadside. It was obvious that the situation was in danger.

How else to find it?
The imperial guards were dispatched, and the emperor's secret guards were also dispatched. All the officials who passed by received strict orders.

Another month passed and nothing was found.

The situation in the east is even worse.

The second batch of grain and grass did not arrive on time. The one million taels of military supplies ordered by the Holy Emperor to be prepared by the household department were originally only enough to support the army of 200,000 for more than three months. Now, it has been four months.

How could the morale of the army come from the defeat? Now we have no food and grass, and we are fighting on an empty stomach. Even before we fight, our defeat is already decided.

Emperor Qi Sheng gritted his teeth and ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate grain and grass to the east, no matter what, without any further delay.

At this time, no one dared to mention whether to seek peace or not.

When the emperor is in a rage, whoever dares to mention it will most likely come to see him!

The emperor's dragon body is in disobedience, the prince is missing, the war on the border is unfavorable, there are internal and external troubles, and the situation is not good.

That morning, the seventy-five-year-old Ning Guogong suddenly came out of the procession tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the crown prince is the foundation of the country. The prince has been missing for more than a month. I'm afraid... Your Majesty should make plans early!"

This means that the prince is in danger and is probably no longer alive, so he wants the emperor to appoint another heir apparent.

Qi Sheng Emperor controlled his physical discomfort and glanced across the court with a cold tone: "Do you think so too, do all the ministers?"

Immediately half of the courtiers stood up and asked the emperor to appoint another prince.

Some of these people really care about the stability of the court. After all, the Qi Sheng Emperor's body is getting worse and worse. If one day he really... then the prince is not determined, the court will be in chaos!

Of course, there are others who have other ideas.

Those who have taken sides naturally hope that the master in their hearts will get the position of prince. In this way, they have the merit of following the dragon, and their wealth will be unlimited in the future.

Qi Sheng Emperor glanced at the ministers coldly. Just as he was about to speak, his breath suddenly became stagnant and his face turned a little red.

By the time he recovered, his expression had changed, and his face showed the reluctance of the hero's late life.

He let out a faint breath, with frustration and helplessness on his face, but he let out a sigh of relief.

He began to look at the princes, and it was obvious that he was already thinking about establishing another prince.

The eldest prince met his gaze with burning eyes.

The prince is dead and there is no legitimate son. He is the eldest son of the emperor, and his father will definitely choose him! (End of chapter)
