The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Mingjin returned to the palace first.

Gu Mingheng took his men directly to the palace.

The news that the Tatar army was invading outside Jiayu Pass quickly spread throughout the capital.

Not only the court officials, but even the common people who were accustomed to peaceful days became somewhat panicked after hearing the news.

But after all, it was at the feet of the emperor, and Jiayuguan was quite a distance away from them. The people who were frightened at first soon became calm again... Ming Jin even heard many people talking about it on his way back.

"What are you afraid of?"

"It's not the first time those villains have invaded our Daqian, but we have the King of Chang'an, so why should we be afraid of them?"

"As long as His Majesty goes to Jiayuguan to take charge of the situation, those villains will be scared to death!"

"Hahaha, that's right. I think they are still not scared after being beaten. They have come back again. This time, let the prince teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful we are. Let's see if they dare to attack us again in the future!"

……

There are too many people saying these things.

This is not someone spreading it intentionally, but the existence of Gu Mingheng is like a stabilizing force for the people of Daqian.

It is hard not to be convinced by his past experience and his ability to win every battle.

They all believe it.

As long as Prince Chang'an is here, Daqian will be fine.

But when Ming Jin, who was sitting in the carriage, heard these words, he just clenched his fingers tightly, pursed his lips, and said nothing.

She naturally believed in Yixian's ability.

But when he thought about how the two of them had finally been reunited and now they were going to be separated again, how could he be happy?

What’s more, there are swords and sabers on the battlefield.

Even if she believed in Yixian, as his wife and relative, how could she not worry about him?

Ming Jin lowered his eyes.

His hand rested on her still-unpregnant belly.

Selfishly, Mingjin naturally didn't want Yixian to leave. She was very selfish, and there were not many things and people she could let go of. If possible, she hoped that they could stay away from the gossips of the capital, live in seclusion, and not care about anything, with only their family as their own.

But it can be family, country and the world.

Without a country, how can there be a home?

Ming Jin couldn't stop it, couldn't stop it, and was unwilling to stop it.

Her husband is a man of integrity and it is impossible for him to just ignore such a thing.

She also didn't want to make things difficult for him.

The carriage was traveling on the street, and her thick eyelashes, in the light and shadow coming in from outside the carriage, gently cast two fan-shaped shadows on her face.

Mingjin looked at the scenery outside the car window.

The scenery outside changed in an instant, and she covered her belly with her hands, just looking at it, silently.

……

Due to urgent report from the border.

The court immediately held an emergency meeting.

Emperor Zhenguang summoned the cabinet, six ministries, and officials above the third rank to discuss the matter in Wenyuan Hall. In addition, Prince Jing Gu Changxuan and the fifth prince Gu Changye were also called over by Emperor Zhenguang to listen on the side.

Let’s not talk about what Emperor Zhenguang meant by this move.

But no one cares about this now.

They were stunned by the news brought by the messenger.

In the secret letter brought from the border, in addition to the news of the Tatar attack, there was another piece of news.

Song He had contacted Tatar long before his death.

The maps and border defense maps of Daqian were sent to the Tatars as a token of surrender.

This made it possible for the Tatars to drive their troops all the way to Jiayuguan without any hindrance this time.

The governor of Jiayuguan, Shen Wuzong, immediately investigated the thief thoroughly.

It was a lieutenant general in Jiayu Pass.

——He is also one of his subordinates.

The letter also contained Shen Wuzong's confession, saying that he would go to the capital to plead guilty after the war was over.

Now there is a heated discussion in the hall about this matter.

Because Gu Mingheng was present, no one dared to discuss the officials in Jiayuguan, and could only launch a fierce criticism against Song He.

"What on earth was this dog slave surnamed Song thinking! Not only did he plot to murder Prince Wencheng, he even colluded with the Tatars, causing our Daqian to fall into this situation!"

"It's a heinous crime!"

"Strangulation is too easy for him. He should have been tortured to death that day!"

……

Those officials did not know the secret and only felt that Song He, a eunuch, dared to surrender to the enemy and commit treason, which was an unforgivable crime!

In other words, the person is already dead, and I heard that the body has been eaten by wild dogs.

Otherwise, he would have been tortured to death!

But Gu Mingheng and Emperor Zhenguang knew the inside story.

It seems that Song He had already decided to surrender to the enemy and commit treason.

Also.

To him, Daqian was never a place he wanted to protect. I'm afraid he wanted to destroy Daqian from the bottom of his heart to avenge him and his biological mother.

only……

Gu Mingheng remained silent and did not reveal anything, but his eyes were looking at Gu Changxuan not far away.

River Song is dead.

He did not leave any instructions before his death.

Gu Mingheng has not yet found out whether he has any connection with Song He.

Speaking from my heart.

Gu Mingheng naturally hoped not.

But if so, what role did he play in it, and how much did he know about what Song He did?

Gu Mingheng pursed his lips and said nothing.

He knew that he would have to go to Jiayuguan soon.

He must not be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the capital, otherwise he would worry that internal troubles would begin before external threats were resolved.

Unlike Gu Mingheng's silence, Emperor Zhenguang's expression was very ugly at this time.

He has been in poor health recently.

The body was barely holding on, but was hit by too much news and had to take medicine every day.

When the news came today.

He had just finished taking the medicine and was about to take a nap, but he didn't expect to receive such bad news.

What I didn’t expect was that this was actually related to Song He.

...Songhe, Songhe, it’s this Songhe again!

Emperor Zhenguang felt his heart beating fast and his breathing became disordered and rapid.

As much as he trusted Song He in the past, he hated him now.

But how could he let others know about these things? He could only suppress his anger.

He was annoyed to see people just repeating what he said.

Finally, he couldn't hold back his anger and said, "I asked you to come here to think of a solution, not just to listen to your complaints and abuses!"

With a loud shout, he finally calmed the noise in the hall.

Several ministers looked at each other, and one of them walked out of the queue, bowed to Emperor Zhenguang and said: "The Tatars are coming with great force this time, but we in Daqian are not easy to deal with. In my opinion, it is better to subdue them directly this time, so that they will not come to harass our border every now and then!"

His words naturally attracted countless people to agree with him.

Emperor Zhenguang also had this idea.

During these years of rest and recuperation, the national treasury is also sufficient.

Fighting is not a problem.

If he could really conquer the Tatars, he would have no problem meeting his ancestors when he went there in the future.

But this attacker——

Emperor Zhenguang couldn't help but look at his younger brother.

Yixian is obviously the most suitable candidate.

He fought against the Tatars the most times and was stationed in Jiayuguan for many years, so he knew the situation there best.

But let’s not talk about the time-consuming and labor-intensive nature of war.

If you really go to the battlefield, how can you not get hurt?

Every time Yixian went out to fight a war, he would be terrified in the palace, fearing that something might happen to him.

What's more, given the current situation, he really didn't want Yixian to leave.

The two brothers looked at each other.

Emperor Zhenguang clasped his hands on his knees. Before he could come up with a plan, Gu Mingheng lowered his eyes, took a step forward, and bowed to his brother, saying, "Your Majesty, I invite you to fight!"

Emperor Zhenguang's pupils shrank slightly and his lips moved slightly.

He opened his mouth to stop it, but no words came out.

At this time, if he stopped his brother from going to war out of selfish motives, how could the other ministers work wholeheartedly for Daqian?

What will the people outside say?

As the Son of Heaven, even if he possesses supreme power, he cannot really do whatever he wants.

When the other ministers saw that Gu Mingheng had volunteered, they all bowed and flattered him. Emperor Zhenguang knew that this matter could not be changed.

He closed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart

Just as he was about to speak, Gu Changxuan, who had never spoken a word, suddenly stood up. He stood beside Gu Mingheng and humbly took half a step back from him.

"Father, I want to go to war with my uncle."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Emperor Zhenguang and the officials looked over, but even Gu Mingheng turned his head in surprise and looked behind him.
