Chapter 116 War
The shouts of the palace people outside the door stunned Emperor Dong Ling and Xiao Yu who were talking inside.
"Come in." Emperor Dong Ling's face was serious, and as soon as the majestic voice came out, the palace servants immediately brought a group of soldiers in messy clothes into the house.
The soldier was responsible for delivering news between the capital and the border, and he had no time to wipe off the ashes. He knelt on the ground immediately after entering the door, and replied to Emperor Dongling in a hoarse voice.
"Your Majesty, Xi Cang invaded with troops, and now they have taken back the three cities that General Han captured before. Now they have sent 30 soldiers to the border between Xi Cang and Dong Ling."
The young general replied in a hoarse voice, with the eagerness in his words, it sounded like Xi Cang had already attacked the capital city gate.
Emperor Dongling frowned slightly, waved his hand to make the young general retreat first, and quickly issued an edict, "Everyone on the border stands still, but if the people from Xicang really violate my Dongling border, guard the border Soldiers must not compromise, but they must not counterattack excessively, everything is waiting for my next order."
When Xiao Yu just heard the order from Emperor Dongling, he finally recovered and was stunned.
"Father, Xicang has already taken away three cities, why do we still..."
"Those are the lands of Xi Cang." Emperor Dong Ling interrupted Xiao Yu impatiently. Of course he knew that the three cities had been taken away, but the battle came so suddenly that Dong Ling was not prepared at all. , so we can only sacrifice these three cities first.Otherwise, if they fight in a hurry, it is estimated that these three cities will not be the only ones lost.
Xiao Yu glanced at Emperor Dong Ling in surprise.
The emperor of Xi Cang Kingdom is about to die, and now Prime Minister Yin and Mo Zhuyue are in charge of the government, so this war must have been started by them.Compared with the chaotic government of Xicang's officials covering the sky with only one hand, shouldn't Dong Ling take this opportunity to give them a hard blow, and then realize their ambitious career? !
Xiao Yu's eyes darkened suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the advice Xia Zhi gave him before, and immediately suggested to Emperor Dongling in a deep voice, "Now we can't sit still. I don't know if my father will choose someone to send to the border to suppress, my son thinks It is the best policy to let Han Poli go back."
Emperor Dong Ling's brows were tightly frowned, and the previous exhaustion was swept away.
Xi Cang must have received the news that he has also recalled Su Zijin to the capital, and there is no general to command at the border.But the decree has been made, and it seems that as long as Su Zijin arrives in Beijing, Han Poli's military power can be distributed, and now it is not within the scope of his consideration to ask Emperor Dongling to let him go back.
Let Han Poli rush to the border now, and Emperor Dong Ling will have no excuse to take away the military power from him.
Emperor Dong Ling is now caught in a dilemma. He is considering the feasibility of Xiao Yu's words, but no matter who he sends there first, Emperor Dong Ling wants them to wait for his next order first, and it will definitely not be a fight. .
"However, it will take some time for General Han to rush from here. I feel that Su Zijin, who is still at the border, should be allowed to calm down the situation at this time. It is best to drive out all the people in Xi Cang." Xiao Yu Seeing that Emperor Dongling was lost in thought and did not speak, a flash of urgency suddenly flashed in his heart.
Now that this sudden war distracts Emperor Dongling from his plan to replace the prime minister, Xiao Yu of course has to do his best to fuel the fire.
As for the cities on the border, he believed that Han Poli could take them back.
Xiao Yu has let go of the initial daze and the dispute with Emperor Dong Ling about which country the three cities belong to.
Neither father nor son thought about the safety of the border people.
Xiao Yu's sentence after sentence gave Emperor Dongling a headache.Annoyedly throwing the cup at hand to the ground, Emperor Dong Ling said sharply, "I know, shut up. If Han Poli hadn't insisted on attacking Xi Cang at that time, there wouldn't be such a sudden battle now."
Emperor Dongling was a forgetful person. He had already forgotten that when Han Poli was capturing the city, he was thinking of increasing his troops so that Han Poli would also capture the entire Xi Cang.
"Father, my son still thinks that this time should be a battle of choice..."
"I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me?!" Emperor Dongling looked at Xiao Yu with displeasure. He was very disappointed that Xiao Yu, as the prince of a country, was so restless when he heard about the war.
Emperor Dongling searched on the table, and when he finally found a bright yellow memorial, he threw it directly at Xiao Yu's feet, "Look, the household department only posted the memorial today, because For the annual banquet, the silver in the treasury is running out. Now that there is a war, do you think the silver in the treasury should be used for the annual banquet or transported to the border."
Xiao Yu picked up the folder on the ground, and after reading all the contents on it, his face changed drastically.He seemed to understand why Emperor Dong Ling made them not rush to resist.If it is said that the treasury of a big country is only enough for the annual banquet, who would believe it.
"How is it possible? My son only checked the accounts of the account department a few months ago, and the silver taels there are obviously enough for Dong Ling to spend for another year." Xiao Yu looked at Emperor Dong Ling in surprise, and his heart became a little anxious.
Did Xi Cang receive any news, otherwise he would not have chosen to break the stability at this time.
From the initial displeasure, Emperor Dongling felt angry when he saw Xiao Yu turning pale.
"Check? Check what? The treasury was stolen at the beginning of the year, don't you know? How dare you say that the account was checked a few months ago, and today the second child reported to me that not only the money from the household department was stolen Even the food and grass of the Ministry of War are running low. How are you going to explain this to me?"
Not only the household department, but also the military department!
Xiao Yu's face turned pale in an instant. He felt that besides the suddenness of the battle tonight, even the second of the six parts had suffered poisonous hands. These things were suddenly told by Emperor Dong Ling. Xiao Yu only felt that everything happened Some sudden.
Not only suddenly, but abruptly.
Without any warning, it just punched him in the heart.
Finally, Xiao Yu explained with trembling lips, "But father, the Ministry of War is in charge of the second brother..."
For so many years, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War have become Xiao Yu and Xiao Jue's pocketbooks, and everything they are squandering now is sent by these two departments.Now that things are gone, Xiao Yu can't accept it.
"It's already at this time, and you are still arguing with me about this kind of thing. If there is no second child, I don't know that you have already acquired the household department. I guess the audit you mentioned is also a matter of last year." Dong Emperor Ling slapped down the table angrily, and directly reprimanded Xiao Yu.
Since making Xiao Yu the crown prince, he has never missed an errand.Who knew that this mistake would plunge the entire country into a catastrophe.
"Originally, I wanted to tell you about this after the New Year's banquet. Who would have thought that there would be another war on the border. After reading this note, are you still yelling at me to seize the city?"
Emperor Dong Ling looked at Xiao Yu with disappointment, "And the military department you mentioned, at least the second child can find out the mistakes that happened when he was in charge, and he won't be ignorant like you. I have already punished the old man. It's over, but you, your punishment will be detained here, and we will discuss it after the matter of changing the prime minister tomorrow is resolved."
"Isn't Father going to talk about the battle report in the court tomorrow?" Xiao Yu looked at Emperor Dong Ling in shock, as if seeing him for the first time.
"What do you say, you won't fight at all? It's no use talking about it! The money from the household department can only be paid for the next taxation." Emperor Dongling snorted when he saw Xiao Yu was confused again. "I will think about who to send to the border. You should go back immediately and reflect on it for me."
"Also," Emperor Dong Ling stopped Xiao Yu when he got up to leave.Emperor Dong Ling pointed to the piles of memorials on the table, "I'll finish reading these tonight."
Xiao Yu's face was a little pale, he clenched his fists tightly, and only when the servants picked up all the memorials did he salute and leave.
As soon as he stepped out of the door of the imperial study, Emperor Dong Ling recruited someone casually, and ordered, "Go and call Zhao Han to me immediately, and bring Jimo Xia Zhi who was hidden in the city guards! "
From the moment when Jimo Xia Zhi and Xiao Tan clashed, Emperor Dong Ling knew her whereabouts, but he didn't arrest her again and put her in prison because Emperor Dong Ling just wanted to let Xia know for a while. orange.
However, after what happened today, Emperor Dongling suddenly had a feeling that Xia Zhi must have known about the theft of the Ministry of Household and Military Department, but why did she propose something that could help him unify the world?
Or call someone first.
"Remember, don't disturb Han Poli." Emperor Dong Ling rubbed his eyebrows, he was a little worried that Han Poli would do something crazy for Xia Zhi again.
As soon as he walked out of the imperial study room, Xiao Yu immediately clenched his fists again thinking of the reaction he had manifested in it just now.However, the way Emperor Dong Ling handled it made him feel relieved. Judging from what Emperor Dong Ling meant, it should be that he didn't blame himself too much.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Xiao Yu can only take one step at a time.But there was some uneasiness in his heart, he was afraid that Emperor Dongling would make a bigger move in the future if he didn't punish him today.
After pondering for a while, before Xiao Yu returned to the East Palace, Xiao Yu beckoned for the attendants who were by his side to come over, "Go and bring Feng Qiu to the East Palace immediately. And send a letter to Jimo Xia Zhi, just tell her, she I agreed to the proposal that day.”
After receiving Xiao Yu's order, the entourage quickly disappeared into the night.
Xiao Yu's eyes darkened. Although Emperor Dong Ling had withheld the matter of the war, he believed that Han Poli must have received the news.So get everything organized early on.
……
"Send someone to Princess Yongle's mansion again." A black figure was hidden in the corner, and after all the messengers had gone out, the black figure suddenly gave an order to the air.
