The Princess of the Fairy Phoenix Road

Chapter 458 Changes in northern Xinjiang, the emperor vomits blood (4)
Lord Yanling looked up at him, but there was a lot of helplessness in his expression, and he said with a bitter smile: "Although people say that marriage is the order of the parents and the matchmaker's words, but - it must be the princess herself. It’s better if you don’t object. If the minister wishes to ask for His Majesty’s grace today, and the princess feels dissatisfied later, wouldn’t it be difficult for both parties?”

"You really have a heart!" Hearing this, the emperor laughed twice, because he laughed too much and got out of breath, so he blushed again and coughed thickly.

"Your Majesty, take a sip of ginseng tea and press it!" Le Shui hurriedly offered the teacup, and stroked his chest to calm his breath.

The emperor seems to be in a particularly good mood today, even if he started a family routine with Lord Yanling, after thinking about it, he said with emotion: "Xunyang girl is indeed good, her character and appearance are all top-notch, even if her father I love you so much, that temper—”

As he spoke, he sighed with some unknown meaning, "It's really wild!"

Lord Yanling smiled, "I think it's rare for the princess to be straightforward!"

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!" The emperor glared at him, and his tone was a bit more serious, but obviously he was not really angry, "I can't find anyone now, and you still want to talk to her? Don't say it." It's in the royal family, even in ordinary rich families, whose girl is not raised in a deep boudoir, and can't be seen by others, so how can she be left in a daze?"

Lord Yanling listened, but only smiled perfunctorily.

The emperor said a lot, but during this period, he kept his eyes on Lord Yanling's face, noticing every subtle change in his expression.

After probing for a while to no avail, he also felt a little out of spirit, waved his hands and said, "I'm tired, I'm going to rest first, you can come back early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!" Lord Yanling agreed.

The emperor had already stood up by himself.

Le Shui quickly put down the teacup in his hand to help him, but when he got up, he seemed dizzy and his body swayed.

"Your Majesty!" Le Shui exclaimed, and took a step forward.

"It doesn't matter!" The emperor just fainted for a moment, and when he raised his hand to stop him, he just knocked over the teacup that he couldn't put down in his hand.

The half-hot tea was spilled and spilled on the small table.

"Ah, Zhezi!" Le Shui's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly knelt down to grab it.

At that time, Lord Yanling was right next to him, so he didn't want to turn a blind eye. He raised his hand and snatched the most wet fold that was spread out on the table. The above content, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

Then he quickly covered up.

The emperor's eyes flashed brightly, and he twitched the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, but he directly took the booklet from him, and waved to Le Shui beside him.

Le Shui was so frightened that his face turned pale. Seeing that he had not committed the crime, he immediately walked away as if he had been pardoned.

The emperor evened out the booklet and scanned it ten times at a glance, and then said to Lord Yanling: "Since you have seen it all, let's talk about it!"

Lord Yanling showed a surprised expression, just looked at him.

"Heh——" the emperor smiled hoarsely, and staggered to a chair next to him to sit down, "Why are you so embarrassed and why don't you speak up?"

"I dare not make irresponsible remarks on major court affairs." Yanling Jun said, his tone was modest but neither humble nor overbearing.

The emperor especially valued his temper that is always sober and calm in front of everything, and if he has been tricked for so long, it must have been premeditated, so his face has always remained good.

"I told you to say it, and there is no one else here, so I'll just forget about it when you get out of the palace gate later." The emperor said, as if he was trying to push the ducks to the shelves.

Lord Yanling stared at him with embarrassment for a while, and then said cautiously: "This zhezi is His Royal Highness——"

The emperor nodded, "Yes! Since you bumped into me, I won't hide it from you. During this period of time, the crown prince claimed to be sick, but in fact he was secretly sent out of Beijing to handle an urgent military matter in northern Xinjiang. In three days, he has expedited delivery of documents back to Beijing within [-] miles!"

No one would know the whole story of Chu Yi'an's departure from Beijing better than Lord Yanling. If it wasn't for the accident in northern Xinjiang that the emperor had to send him to suppress the battle, he wouldn't have been rushed to command the battle in the south.

Lord Yanling did not answer.

When the matter of Northern Xinjiang was mentioned, the emperor obviously began to feel a little uneasy. He pinched the center of his eyebrows irritably, and then he almost suppressed his temper before he could calmly state: "Those wastes in Northern Xinjiang are simply hateful. They are looking at Emperor Shan Gao. Far away, I can't see their every move, and dare to lie about their military achievements. After the year after year, only [-]% of the successive success reports are true. In the beginning, it was indeed a coincidence that they won a few battles. I got carried away with pride, and then I was retaliated by the enemy's counterattack, and I lost in a mess!"

Speaking of this, he clenched the folder in his hand even more, and there was a cold and deep cold light in his eyes, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "One hundred thousand garrisons, half of them went there in just a dozen days, and the battle reports sent back It’s better to report the good news and not the bad news, and even to cover up peace, bribe those barbarians outside the pass with the food and grass allocated to the army, trying to cover my eyes. These bastards are really daring and lawless!”

Because of Su Yi's intervention, the battle situation in Northern Xinjiang was indeed reversed for a while, and several victories were won.

However, the commander of the imperial court stationed in northern Xinjiang is a narrow-minded and overjoyed person. The battle reports sent back and forth are all exaggerated, and it is even more afraid that Su Yi, the military adviser behind the scenes, will endanger his status if he gets a reward, so every battle report The above praises are all about how brave he is, leading his troops to retreat from the powerful enemy.And after getting Su Yi's idea to move the grain seeds of the other party's spring plowing, he ran Su Yi away.

At that time, Su Yi also knew that the war there would not be settled for a while, and those people from northern Xinjiang were already tough, and they would definitely fight back after suffering such a big secret loss, but they got out early according to the previous agreement with Chu Xunyang. Return.

Not long after he left over there, something went wrong.

But the reward from the imperial court had just come down, the commander did not dare to report the battle situation in order to be greedy for merit, but kept concealing it repeatedly. In the end, Chu Yi'an chose the right time to ask someone to draft an impeachment, and the emperor knew the truth of the matter.

There was already a mess in northern Xinjiang at that time, he himself was getting old, and because the south was at war again, in order to stabilize people's hearts, he immediately blocked the news, only dared to send Chu Yi'an in secret to rush to northern Xinjiang to deal with the matter .

Chu Yi'an went for a few days, and temporarily used the [-] imperial guards he brought as reinforcements to stabilize the war. After a thorough investigation, he asked the emperor to know the real situation of those wars.
