In the evening, someone reported to the emperor that the crown prince and several princes were discussing the war in Yuqing Palace. The emperor curled up his mouth and read the memorial in a good mood, but saw the report that made him furious .

The general meaning of the report is: after the envoys he sent to the frontier arrived at Bayuli and issued the imperial edict and rewards, Bayuli hosted a banquet and invited them to sit down.During the banquet, I asked them what they wanted to do this time.Did you send troops?The envoy replied: "This time I came to survey the border, and the soldiers and horses I brought were only two thousand."It’s just that we happened to encounter the Alhun Qincha Rebellion halfway. After the emperor knew about it, he was afraid that they would think we were reinforcements, so he asked us to station here first.

Afterwards, Bai Wuli summoned these envoys again, turned back and said to them: They are grateful to the Holy Majesty Hong Ren, and are willing to obey the will of the Holy Majesty, but Alhun raised troops without any reason, which violated the will of the Holy Majesty.The envoy replied: Your Majesty rules the world and is the Lord of all things. These people ignore His Majesty's benevolence and repeatedly violate His Majesty's will. His Majesty knows about it, but I still hope that you can stop the war and make peace.

After that, Bai Wuli told the envoys many times about this matter, but the envoys did not dare to make decisions on their own, and tried to send them back.As for the meaning of the Holy One, the envoys never told him.After Bai Wuli went west to nomad, the envoys set off and returned.

The emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, picked up the Zhu Zhu, and wrote: Alhun and Qincha are both countries of tribute. Now that the two countries are fighting against each other, I can't bear to see it. I already know the meaning of Wuli.

The emperor sneered, even the princes knew that the time had not come yet, how could he not know.Bai Wuli, actually trying to...

The following time has been busy, the princes began to participate in government affairs one by one, being dragged by various things, while the emperor in the palace watched the memorials from the frontier.

"Snapped!"

In the south study room, the emperor looked at the memorial that he threw on the ground, but the anger in his heart did not calm down at all.Alhun, Qincha, and Baiwuli really think that he, the emperor, can't be displayed!

Hearing the movement, Li Jinghuan quickly put down the pen in his hand, walked over to pick up the memorial, picked it up, glanced at it, and sighed silently.

"What do you think?" The emperor watched Li Jinghuan put the memorial back on the table. He hadn't recovered from the anger just now, and his voice was still a little harsh.

Li Jinghuan looked at the emperor, thought for a while, and replied firmly: "Borrowing a word from elder brother, our Great Xia is not afraid of a war!"

"Hahaha, this really looks like the character of the boss," imagining what Li Jingrong said, the emperor's face softened a little, looking at the calm Li Jinghuan in front of him, he asked again: "What about you?"

Li Jinghuan pursed his lips and said, "I think so deeply."

The emperor listened to Li Jinghuan's words, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, and asked again: "Oh? Now?"

Li Jinghuan looked at the emperor, thought about it, and said, "I'm afraid it won't be so fast. We still need to mobilize troops, horses, food and grass, and this battle is the key. We must be more cautious. If there is no accident, this battle may be fought next year."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction. The child was exactly what he thought, and he did not live up to his expectations.

Li Jinghuan paid attention to the emperor's expression, heaved a sigh of relief, and asked tentatively: "Father, you must have planned it earlier, so you threw all the younger brothers into the court for training, right?"

"What do you think?" The emperor wondered.

"I don't dare to guess the holy will." Li Jinghuan bowed his head and said respectfully.

"You! Who did you learn all this from?" The emperor asked a little amusedly, "How are your younger brothers doing?"

Li Jinghuan saw that he was in a good mood, and his tone became a lot more relaxed. Didn't the emperor ask knowingly, "How are the younger brothers, will the emperor not know?"

"Li Jinghuan!" The emperor looked at his joking son in front of him, and shouted angrily, but seeing his reluctance, he said helplessly: "You! It turns out that you are not so choking when you talk, why is it so lately? Suffering from the disease of the fourth child? Don't you know that thinking about him now gives me a headache!"

"I know my mistake!" Li Jinghuan was not hypocritical, he admitted his mistake decisively, but he was determined not to correct it.

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, this child is really...

"By the way, that girl Zhanqing is pretty good."

"Ah?" Li Jinghuan was still immersed in the feeling of defeating the emperor verbally. When he heard the emperor say such a sentence, he was shocked. He looked up at his father's expression and found that he didn't seem to be joking. She looked like that, and then echoed: "She is really cute, but what the father means is..."

"What I mean is," the emperor looked at Li Jinghuan and said, "In a few days, I plan to go to the outside of the Great Wall. You are the prince. After I go to the outside of the Great Wall, the capital will be handed over to you; as for the harem, I will leave it to you." Give it to girl Zhanqing. I heard that she also contributed a lot to the marriage of Brother Huang Hong, so it should be easy to take care of these things. Concubine Zheng's health is getting worse and worse, so let Zhanqing spend more time with her when she has nothing to do. .”

"My son understands." Thinking of Zhan Qing's busy appearance at Brother Locust's wedding, Li Jinghuan nodded in response, and then remembered the memorial, and asked, "Then the soldiers and horses were mobilized?"

"By the way, don't you say that I almost forgot. Since they gave me such a big gift, of course I have to return the gift! Go tell your younger brothers not to miss their recent homework. As for the others I will arrange things for you. You have also tightened the strings for me these days!"

"My son understands!" Li Jinghuan solemnly cupped his hands.

After this conversation, the army ushered in another adjustment.All the officials in the court tensed their strings. They more or less knew that the imperial court was about to move towards the northern border again.The ministers of the Lifan Academy and the Ministry of War are in a hurry these days, and all the barracks are also active, even the officials are so busy that they don't touch the ground.

In August, the emperor toured beyond the Great Wall.This time, the crown prince stayed in Beijing with full authority to handle court affairs, while the older princes accompanied him on a tour outside the Great Wall. Even the youngest sixth prince Li Jingyi and seventh prince Li Jinghan were taken by the emperor. The purpose of this tour It seems to have already understood, and with the transfer of the reserve soldiers in the capital, people who don't understand the holy will can guess what it is.

The official road from the capital to the outside of the Great Wall was full of dust.In the blink of an eye, the two fast horses stopped at the emperor's Luanyi Huanjian. The man dismounted and knelt down to salute.The guards of Luan Yiwei breathed a sigh of relief and sheathed their weapons.

Li Jingyu looked at the situation in the distance, thought of the reports that had been sent from the capital and northern Xinjiang in the past few days, and looked at the relieved expressions of the brothers around him, and felt a little regretful.

If I had known this, it would be better to listen to the second brother of the prince and stay in the capital to help him.He himself is not that fragile, but every day he sees the people around him in a state of panic and panic, and he is not nervous at all.This is the conditioned reflex that the second brother usually talks about?Li Jingyu suddenly thought of this word.

"Fourth, why are you in a daze? Father asked us to go over and discuss things." Li Jingrong looked at Li Jingyu still riding on the horse in a daze, and walked over to remind him.

Only then did Li Jingyu notice that all the brothers had dismounted and looked at him suspiciously.He hurriedly dismounted, walked behind Li Jingrong, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head, followed the others in a low-key manner.Li Jingrong originally wanted to reprimand him, but when he thought that the little prince was hurting his younger brother like an eyeball every day, and the other younger brothers were all around, it was hard to give him face, so he stopped talking and slapped him. sip

Seeing his brother's expression, Li Jingyu guessed what he was thinking, sighed lightly, and followed.

When everyone walked into the imperial chariot of the emperor, they saw that the case in which the emperor was working was piled up with memorials. The emperor had a serious face, holding the memorial in one hand, and tapping the case lightly with the other.Seeing that his sons had come, he handed over the memorial and signaled them to pass it on.

Li Jingrong is the eldest son, and the memorial was naturally passed to him first. He took the memorial, glanced at it briefly, and couldn't suppress the fire in his heart, and said angrily: "Father, this worship of Wuli is too shameless." Come on!"

The emperor glared at Li Jingrong, just angry, a dignified prince, shouldn't speak so bluntly!

In fact, after reading the memorial, several other people also quite agreed with the elder brother's statement, but they only dared to nod secretly, facing the emperor's dark face, they just lowered their heads and did not speak.

"Where are you guys? Why don't you talk?" I thought that if you keep your head down and don't talk, I don't know what they think?the emperor asked a little annoyed.

"Father, my son begs Huang to worship Wuli!" Li Jingrong took the lead in petitioning.

"My son is willing to go with elder brother!" Li Jingye and Li Jingxuan also agreed.

"Fourth, what do you say?" The emperor knocked on the table and stared at Li Jingyu who hadn't spoken.

"My son is willing to be an envoy!" Li Jingyu lowered his head and said.

"Where are you going? Bai Wuli? Or Qincha and Alhun?" The emperor looked at Li Jingyu with sharp eyes, but his tone remained unchanged.Seeing that he still nodded, he couldn't help scolding: "Nonsense!"

Li Jingyu's expression didn't change, as if he didn't notice the emperor's anger, he continued to explain calmly: "I don't have the bravery of my elder brother, so I dare not ask Huang to worship Wuli; I don't have enough resourcefulness to ask myself, and I can't fight wits with Baiwuli, so my son I would like to go to Ali Muli and ask them to help us!"

The emperor cast a glance at Li Jingyu, recalled the map of northern Xinjiang in his mind, and recalled the recent movements of Bai Wuli, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, this fourth son is very careful, the prince is coaxed happily by him every day , Just think that no one knows what's on your mind?How dare you openly trick me!Really if I don't know where you want to go, that's the easiest place to meet Bai Wuli?But it's a good thing that this kid has such a heart, I'd better not expose him.

"That's right!" The emperor nodded, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then do you think I will agree to your request?"

"I don't dare to guess the holy will." The emperor heard Li Jingyu's words, and the corners of his mouth twitched. This child came again. Looking at the eldest prince kneeling beside him, he suddenly felt that this son was still cute. But I still treat my father respectfully and politely, unlike this fourth son who not only chokes others with his own words, but also leads the crown prince into ruin.
