Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 953

With the sound of the door-opening drum on Chengtian Gate, all the officials got up and prepared to go to the court to discuss matters.

Because of Beiyan's request for soldiers to help, there were endless quarrels in the court hall. In the early court, Emperor Chu's expression was serious: "What is the best plan for all the gentlemen?"

In the midst of the silence, King Ning came out, cupped his hands and said: "Father, we have always been friends with Beiyan. If we don't help this time, the world will laugh at me. I am willing to lead troops to help Beiyan." .”

However, Ruan Jing said: "Eastern Zhou's wolf is ambitious and has been eyeing us all the time. If he rashly sends troops to help, isn't it in the middle east Zhou's hands?"

"If we wait for Xiling to capture Beiyan, and then attack us from both sides with Dongzhou, we will only be beaten. The speed of the army is precious, and I ask the father to make a decision."

"The generals in the court are full of talents, even if they really help Beiyan, why should His Royal Highness King Ning take risks?"

King Ning was trying to fight for military power. The courtiers had different ideas, but they were not in a hurry to express their views.

Emperor Chu looked at Lord Yun: "What do Qing Yun think?"

Lord Yun said: "His Royal Highness Ning's words are not unreasonable. After all, there will be a battle. Sending troops at this time not only fulfills the morals, but also gives Nan Chu a chance to breathe. It cuts off the chance of Xi Ling and Dong Zhou joining hands. Allegiance to the royal family, in this battle, Prince Yun's Mansion is willing to lead the way."

Yuan Chong also came out and said, "I also invite you to fight."

Xie Shen also echoed, "I invite you to fight, too."

"The minister waits for the battle!"

In the main hall, the voice of the battle came like a mountain, and it lasted for a long time.

King Ning gritted his teeth resentfully. With Prince Yun's residence and the General's residence here, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of leading the army to gather military power, but he was afraid it would fail.

"Okay," Emperor Chu said solemnly, "Xiao Jiu once said that those who offend us in Southern Chu will be punished even if they are far away. Southern Chu is never afraid of fighting!"

The matter has been decided, but who to send to the battle and how many soldiers and horses are another problem.

When Rong Jiu entered the palace, before the court was over, he met Concubine Xian outside Zichen Hall.

"Concubine Xian,"

"Princess,"

Rong Jiu approached with a smile, and asked, "Your Majesty is begging Father to send troops for Beiyan?"

Concubine Xian's elegant face was full of sorrow: "I know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but as the princess of Beiyan, I can't just watch Beiyan suffer and do nothing. Yan, even if I offend His Majesty, I have no regrets."

"A matter of great importance to the family and the country, how can the empress be able to put her beak on it? For the sake of Beiyan, the empress can sacrifice her life. As the monarch of Southern Chu, His Majesty cannot put Southern Chu in a place where there will never be redemption."

When Concubine Xian heard this, her face turned pale.

Rong Jiu gently persuaded: "Since the empress knows that the harem is not allowed to engage in politics, why bother to displease the emperor again, it is better to go back to Xianyun Palace first, if there is a way to get the best of both worlds, the emperor will not ignore Beiyan."

A light flashed in Concubine Xian's eyes: "Princess, did you come up with a plan to get the best of both worlds?"

"I entered the palace for this purpose. If your empress can trust me, you might as well listen to my advice and go back to Xianyun Palace first to wait for news."

"I thank the princess on Beiyan's behalf."

After persuading Concubine Xian to leave, Rong Jiu sat down at the stone table in the middle of the courtyard, and the palace servants offered hot tea and pastries, and then withdrew.

While eating tea, Rong Jiu waited for Emperor Chu. After drinking two cups of tea, Emperor Chu came back.

"Father," Rong Jiuqi stepped forward, his eyes glanced at Lord Yun and Yuan Chong behind him, "about Beiyan, father is planning to send troops?"

Emperor Chu nodded.

In the early dynasty, it had been agreed that Lord Yun would lead one hundred thousand troops to go to Beiyan immediately, while Yuan Chong would lead troops to guard the border to prevent the Eastern Zhou from disturbing the border and provoking war.
