Travel through Shen Meizhuang to open the system and walk sideways in the harem

Zhang Tingyu heard the emperor say this and said:

"It is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to find a good general. Your Majesty, I have to say something disrespectful. If the Fourteenth Master is available, why not..."

Before he could finish his words, the emperor raised his hand to interrupt him, "No, absolutely not!"

Seeing the emperor's strong reaction, everyone dared not say anything.

The Emperor continued:

"It's easier to let a tiger go than to catch it. If Old Fourteen is released, he will be a big trouble if he still has rebellious tendencies. By then, the internal and external troubles will be very difficult to deal with.

But Lord Zhang did remind me that now that Moge’s 400,000 troops are invading Yanming Pass, I will arrange for a prince to replace me and guard the pass.”

Li Wei immediately asked:

"Which prince does the emperor want to arrange to go there?"

The emperor thought for a moment and said:

"After much thought, I think Prince Guo is a good candidate. He likes poetry and books, so I can just give him an empty title. As for the vanguard general, I can also promote a general from the younger generation."

Zhang Tingyu exclaimed:

"Your Majesty's move is very good. Prince Guo's mother was born in a low-class family and has little prestige. He has always been content. Your Majesty has thought it through carefully. I admire you."

Everyone knelt down and shouted in unison:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Moge's 400,000 troops will arrive at Yanming Pass soon. The situation is critical. The emperor has been enduring for several days, almost burying himself in memorials, summoning ministers to meet with him all day to discuss national policies.

Shen Meimei knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so she brought some ginseng soup and other tonics to visit him in the Yangxin Palace. She wanted to find out when Moge would meet him so that she could make further arrangements.

Outside the Yangxin Palace, Su Peisheng was extremely nervous. The emperor got angry and blamed him from time to time, and the eunuchs and palace maids serving him had to be on high alert.

Xiao Xiazi had been severely scolded by the emperor these days, and he didn't dare to serve in front of the emperor anymore. He grumbled and asked:

"Master, what's wrong with the emperor? We offend him all the time. I really don't know how to serve him."

Su Peisheng picked up the whisk and symbolically tapped Xiao Xiazi, saying:

"You little bastard, you still dare to complain? How can I serve you? You have to hold your own head in your hand and serve you. You have to think before you speak next time, remember?"

Xiao Xiazi nodded repeatedly, saying: "Yes, yes..."

Shen Meimei heard the conversation between the two and knew that if she went in at this time, she might run into trouble, but it was not convenient for her to go back directly with the things in her hands, so she had to bite the bullet and go forward.

Su Peisheng and Xiao Xiazi bowed and said:

"Greetings to Concubine Hui, may the queen be blessed with good health and good fortune!"

Shen Meimei smiled and said:

"You're all up now, don't be so polite. I know that the emperor has been busy with state affairs these days, so I brought ginseng soup here specially."

Su Peisheng smiled and said:

"Empress Hui, the emperor is reviewing memorials right now, so he has some free time. The other day, Empress Xi also sent people to greet him several times, but the emperor didn't respond. Empress, please come this way!"

Shen Meimei went in carrying a food box. She hadn't seen the emperor for several days. She suddenly found that the emperor seemed to have aged a lot, looked haggard, and had more wrinkles on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor!" Shen Meimei bowed and saluted.

"You're here? Come and sit down! I've been busy these days and haven't seen you. How are Princess Jinghe these days?" The emperor chatted with Shen Meimei as usual.

Shen Meimei stood up, took out the cooked ginseng soup, placed it on the emperor's desk, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, no matter how busy you are with state affairs, you must take care of your health. This is the ginseng soup that I specially cooked for you. It is good for your health and energy. Your Majesty, please drink it first and then review it. After all, there is always work to be done!"

The emperor laughed and said:

"Mei'er is right. I'll drink first and then work!"
