Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 379 is war and peace
The emperor frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean, General Liang Zuochao?"

"That's right, Yu De's grandfather is none other than General Liang Zuochao who was suspected of treason by the late emperor that day."

The emperor said regretfully: "He actually went to Beimo? In fact, the late emperor later confirmed that he was framed. It's just that his family abandoned their official position and left like this. It's a pity that the late emperor didn't even have a chance to be rehabilitated."

"Your Majesty, this Yu De is the key to Jingzhou, and getting Jingzhou back is the key to peace with Beimo. Your Majesty will consider how to do it." He Lianying said.

"Then what's the name of Yu De's daughter? Why did she disappear? Will she come back while I'm pretending? Besides, it's just a daughter, so Yu Dezhen will take it so seriously?" Qinghe asked.

He Lianying said: "Yu De's daughter is named Yu Xiaomei. Yu Xiaomei is Yu De's only daughter. She has been living outside and found her last year. However, within half a year after the reunion of father and daughter, Yu Xiaomei was raped by Yu De's goddaughter." Poisoned, she threw her body at the bottom of the pool, said she was missing, but she was actually dead, so she will not come back to testify that the princess is a fake."

"Murdered by Yu De's goddaughter? What's going on? Why did Yu De's goddaughter want to kill her?" Qinghe asked puzzled.

"It's a long story. When the emperor really wants to implement this plan, I will explain it to the princess." He Lianying said.

"It's not impossible!" The emperor thought for a while, "Just make sure everything is safe, don't let Yu De know the identity of the princess, otherwise the princess will be in danger."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I know all about Yu Xiaomei, and I can tell the princess one by one. With the princess' intelligence, she will never show her flaws in front of Yu De, because the time between their father and daughter is actually less than half a year. .”

"Yi'er," the emperor looked at Qinghe, "what do you think? Although Helianqing's family has repeatedly assured that there will be no danger, Father will not force you. After all, there is nothing infallible in this world."

The emperor showed a very loving look at this time, but it was not entirely for show, he really valued this daughter now.

However, there is an earnest look in his eyes, which is equivalent to telling Qinghe that you have to agree and handle this matter well.

In the heart of the emperor, this country, this country, this ninety-five respect, is more important than anything else.

Therefore, he seemed to be asking for Qinghe's opinion, but in fact, Qinghe had no room to refuse.

Of course, Qinghe would not refuse, because it was proposed by He Lianying.

She believed that He Lianying must have full confidence in letting her do this.

She raised her head, her eyes firmly said: "Father, my son is willing to go."

The emperor said approvingly: "Okay, okay, father knows that you are a sensible child, and you know how to share your father's worries."

"This is what a minister should do." Qinghe said modestly.

After talking about these things, He Lianying suddenly changed the topic, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Princess Xinglan's marriage cannot be delayed."

The emperor's eyes turned cold, "When is the nearest auspicious day for the Qing family? Choose one!"

"Yes!" He Lianying replied.

Sure enough, two days later, news came from the frontier that Beimo had violated the border.

The two armies of Beimo attacked the small town on the border of Daliang respectively, killing more than a hundred villagers and kidnapping more than ten girls.

How long has it been since the marriage?After the news came, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were furious.

However, when the emperor asked the civil and military officials if they wanted to fight, there was almost silence.

The younger generals do have a bit of blood, but the veterans don't speak, and they are not qualified to speak.

In particular, the old officials in the court were so pedantic that they did not dare to use force easily. After all, Daliang was now at war with Xianbei.

The considerations of the veterans were reasonable, but such silence broke the emperor's heart.

He remembered Yili's proposal to reopen the imperial examination, and it seemed that it was really necessary now.

Daliang has been at peace for too long, and the great country doesn't even have a single general.

Those who can be in command are already old, and the young ones like Yuan Su, although they have military exploits, are unable to lead the army that conquered Beimo.

The emperor looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and yelled angrily: "What? To fight or not to fight?"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak out.

"Prime Minister!" The emperor shouted loudly.

Qi Xiang came out and said in panic: "The minister is here!"

"You are among the three princes, say, to fight or not to fight!" the emperor asked with raised eyebrows.

Qi Xiang faltered for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, I think that our country is now at war with Xianbei, and most of the main force is on the battlefield. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to start a war now!"

"Okay, if we don't fight, how about it? The Beimo army is now burning our village, killing our people, and kidnapping our daughter. Does everyone think we have tolerated this?" the emperor asked angrily.

Qi Xiang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that you send an envoy to negotiate with Bei Mo and ask them to withdraw from our Daliang territory."

"Excuse me?" The emperor was so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood, and sneered a few times, "What an entreaty, coward, coward!"

His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at the prince, "Prince, what suggestion do you have?"

The prince knelt down, although he forbeared, but veins burst out on his forehead, he gritted his teeth and said: "Father, my son thinks that Bei Mo bullies others too much, it is wolf ambition, forbearance will only fuel their arrogance."

The emperor looked slightly relaxed, "In your opinion, if you can't bear it, what should you do?"

The prince said: "I think that this battle is imminent and we have to fight it. If we continue to endure it, we will be ridiculed by the barbarians in all directions."

Qi Fan retorted: "His Royal Highness, it's easy to say, how to fight? Our main force is led by General Qi and King Huainan, and they went deep into Xianbei. Moreover, General Yuan also led troops to attack Xianbei not long ago. We really want to fight Get up, we don’t have enough troops, not enough generals, is there any chance of winning? It will only sacrifice our soldiers in vain.”

"If you don't have enough troops, you can recruit troops. If you don't have enough weapons, you can buy them. It's better than the current situation where Bei Mo always leads you by the nose." The prince said angrily.

Qi Xiangdao: "That's right, if you don't have enough troops, you can recruit troops, and if you don't have enough weapons, you can also build them. But where does the general come from? Where is the general who can command the three armies to attack Beimo? You can't let your highness the crown prince go out in person, can you?"

The prince was furious: "Then what should we do according to what our relatives see? Are we going to endure it to the death?"

Qi Xiang cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the way to govern the country lies in peace. If peace talks can solve the problem, why not try peace talks? If this war really breaks out, it will only lead to the loss of lives and the displacement of the people. The benevolence of the emperor must not bear it." I saw the people suffering greatly."

The emperor's eyes were like lightning, and they fell on Qi Zhurong, "What's your opinion, Master Qi?"
