Darkness of Rebirth

With a high-pitched "The emperor has arrived", the originally noisy Zichen Palace fell silent in an instant.The prince, who was walking over and thinking about talking to Dongfang Du, immediately turned around and walked back to his place when he heard the eunuch's shout.

Emperor Qianwen walked into the Zichen Palace slowly, and as soon as he sat down on the dragon chair, all civil and military officials knelt down and saluted together: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Everyone loves you, let's live in peace." Emperor Qian Wen glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on Dongfang Du who stood at the end of the queue of civil servants.Dongfang Du is the prince, even if she has no official position, she shouldn't be at the bottom, and depending on where she is standing, she is two meters away from civil servants.

When all the courtiers got up, Emperor Qianwen looked away and said to the courtiers: "Do you have something important to report today, all the loves?" Every morning, there is such a opening sentence.After Emperor Qianwen finished speaking, he looked at the civil servants and generals who bowed their heads in silence, and couldn't help shaking his head, "Why don't you like to play face-to-face!" '

There are two types of memorials: face-to-face memorials and folded memorials. If the matter is urgent and there is no time to write a memorial, you can make a face-to-face memorial. However, the face-to-face memorial means letting all the courtiers know who said the matter. If it touches the interests of some powerful officials, I'm afraid it will lead to private revenge.

"Cough cough..." Emperor Ganwen cleared his throat, and asked again: "Aren't there any important matters for the Aiqing?" After speaking, he looked at General Zhang Shaocheng, who was listed as a military commander.

Feeling the emperor's gaze, Zhang Shaocheng raised his head and found that Emperor Qianwen was really looking at him. Seeing him raise his head, he even gave him a wink, signaling him to follow the battle in Jizhou City.Once this battle is over, I am afraid that the court will be in chaos again. Those who fight are all generals, but those who like to discuss are those civil servants who are powerless.

"Report to the emperor, there will be something to report at the end." Zhang Shaocheng came out.Military generals seldom speak in the hall, once they come out to give a performance, there must be a war.When the civil and military officials saw the generals coming out, they were horrified, their right eyes jumped, and it seemed that they were about to fight again.The Ministers of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of Households, who had already known about the battle in Jizhou, were terrified when they saw General Zhang come out, and their heads bowed even more.

"Oh, what does Zhang Aiqing have to say?" Emperor Ganwen asked in a leisurely manner, obviously already knowing something, but still pretending that I don't know anything.

"Returning to the emperor, the Xixuan Kingdom invaded a few days ago, attacked our border city of Jizhou, and invaded our land of the Donggan Kingdom. Finally, the general is willing to call for a battle to conquer the Xixuan Kingdom." Zhang Shaocheng knelt on one knee in the center of the hall, waiting for Emperor Qianwen to speak.

The civil servants who didn't know about it immediately started discussing, "Why is there another war?", "Xixuan Kingdom attacked so suddenly!", "Where is it suddenly! Didn't they recruit soldiers again a few days ago, I should have expected it a long time ago !", "I don't know how many people are going to die again!", "I don't know when this war will stop!" Wen Chen whispered among themselves.

Although there was going to be a war, their civil servants only needed to help the emperor govern the country. It was not their turn to go to the battlefield to die, and they were not as nervous and flustered as those generals.

"Sure." Emperor Qianwen said coldly, he didn't show much anger towards Xixuan Kingdom's invasion, it seemed that as long as he sent an army out, it would be easy to solve it.

There is really no need to discuss this matter of expanding the frontiers and lands in the court hall, to signal Zhang Shaocheng to come out and play the battle in front of civil and military officials, it is just to have a reason for Dongfang Du to follow Zhang Shaocheng to go out in a fair manner.And if you want to go out in a fair manner, it is best to ask for your own life.

Sure enough, as soon as General Zhang finished speaking, Dongfang Du came out and said loudly, "I would like to report to my father, my son is willing to go to Jizhou with General Zhang to fight against the enemy together."

Emperor Qianwen nodded in satisfaction. The second prince was not as dumb as he imagined, and he knew to find an opportunity to come out and ask for orders.Although the expedition had already been decided in the imperial study yesterday, the civil and military officials didn't know about it.

"Okay, okay, my emperor's heart is about his family and country. It's my good fortune to have this emperor. Since Du'er asks for his order, let's be a deputy general and follow General Zhang." Emperor Qianwen said in a favorable manner.

When the prince heard this, he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly came out and said: "Father, my son is also willing to go to Jizhou with General Zhang." The two princes have asked for orders to go to the battlefield, how can he show weakness as a prince.

Prime Minister Song Wen saw that his relatives and grandsons wanted to join in the fun and go to the battlefield, so he rushed out to dissuade him, "My Majesty, the crown prince is the heir, so it is inconvenient to go to the battlefield." He looked at the Dongfang Xi, and couldn't help it. I can't help but want to scold: "Why are you impulsive at this time! If you die on the battlefield, the world will be so cheap Second Prince! The battlefield is ruthless, the sword has no eyes, his second prince and a brat want to die on the battlefield, you follow suit What!"

When Dongfang Xi heard this, he thought of his status as the crown prince, but the words had already been spoken, so he couldn't take them back, so he had to bite the bullet and wait to see how his father would answer.If the father agrees, he can only resign himself to his fate and follow him to the battlefield.

Emperor Qianwen glanced at Dongfang Xi, who was looking distressed, and said slowly: "Xi'er is the crown prince of the East Palace, so there is no need to go to Xixuan with General Zhang." After speaking, Dongfang Xi let out a sigh of relief.

"Father, although my son is a prince, when he thinks of other countries invading, he will be filled with righteous indignation and wish to launch a crusade..." Dongfang Xi thought that his father would not let him go to war anyway, so he took the opportunity to express himself more verbally.

Emperor Qianwen also let him behave, and only let him return to the ranks after he had finished speaking. After the decision on the expedition was made, the hall became quiet again.Seeing that the civil and military officials didn't intend to report anything, Emperor Ganwen turned his head and glanced at the eunuch beside him, signaling that he could retreat.The eunuch understood, took a step forward, and shouted loudly: "If there is nothing to do, you can retreat."

When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all knelt down and saluted: "Respectfully send off the emperor." The morning passed quickly like this.

As soon as the court was over, Dongfangdu went out. Dongfangxi saw that Dongfangdu was gone, and hurriedly chased after him.

"Second brother, why did you come to court today?" Dongfang Xi only realized something strange at this time, how could Dongfang Du, who should not have come to court, come to court today, and there is such a big event today to report , If it is a coincidence, it is too coincidental.Dongfang Xi smiled warmly, "Could it be that the second brother knew about the battle in Jizhou City long ago? Why didn't he know that the emperor would call? The emperor really wants to go to the battlefield with the second brother."

"Brother Huang, you are the crown prince. The matter of defending the country and going to the battlefield should be left to the second emperor." Dongfang Du said with a smile and cupped his hands, but secretly he couldn't help but slander: "It's really a grandiose statement." I can't help but think that you are a good brother...'

Seeing what Dongfang Xi wanted to say, Dongfang Du first said: "Brother Huang, I have important matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you. I will chat with Brother Huang later when I have free time." After saluting, hurry up step away.She still has a lot of things to do, so she has no time to chat here.

Dongfang Xi looked at Dongfang Du's back, smiled coldly, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid you won't have a chance to talk again in the future."
