Chapter 297

When Si Haochen and the old Duke arrived at the imperial study room, the Minister of War, General of Cavalry, Duke Dingguo, and Marquis of Pingnan were already waiting outside the imperial study room. The few of them were all generals who had been through the battlefield. They looked at each other for a few times and understood that there must be foreign enemies attacking them.

Emperor Danxu asked several people to meet with him, but only Zhang Jinliang knew about how many people he announced were. The eunuch on duty was unknown and did not dare to spread the situation at will. As for the only insider, Eunuch Zhang, who is still in the carriage, he is still "shaking Lantern Festival".

When Zhang Jinliang got out of the palace car, he was already dizzy, his legs were not like his own, and he was not walking in a straight line. He hurriedly called two little eunuchs and asked them to carry him to the imperial study room. Seeing that several big shots were already in place, Zhang Jinliang sweated more.

Zhang Jinliang first entered the imperial study room and reported to Emperor Danxu. He also mentioned the lunch that Prince Yun had used in the Jingguo Duke's Mansion today. Emperor Danxu didn't care about losing his temper now, and only said that Xuan and a few people would meet.

Zhang Jinliang left the imperial study room and said to the people: "Please, please, generals."

The Minister of War spoke sarcastically: "I thought this was the prince, the prince, the prince, the marquis, and the marquis were waiting for. I didn't expect it to be waiting for you, Eunuch Zhang."

Zhang Jinliang was so frustrated that he had to smile and said, "Mr. Xiao was joking, but the carriage was running slowly, so you have to wait for a long time. I deserve to die of guilt."

"No, no, no, you are the most useful person around the emperor. We dare not punish you." The Minister of War looked panicked.

"Hmph." Si Haochen took the lead in entering the imperial study room.

Afterwards, several people entered according to their grades. When each passed by Zhang Jinliang, he stared at him coldly. Even if Zhang Jinliang was powerful, he was still a slave. He actually asked them to wait. It was really unreasonable.

These people all hold heavy troops and even the emperor doesn't want to offend Zhang Jinliang's scalp tightly because he was staring. As expected, as long as he has something to do with Prince Yun, there is no easy task.

Several people entered the imperial study room, and after saluting, they kept silent, waiting for Emperor Danxu to speak.

"Ahem." Emperor Danxu cleared his throat, "I just received an urgent report from 800 miles. Beichi Kingdom gathered 100,000 troops to face the border. The reason was that Xue Nu was infected with chronic poison when she was in the capital of Donghuan. She died on the way back... Several dear ministers, please tell me what they thought."

"I think this is the nonsense of the Beichi Tartars, gathering 100,000 people to the border, which will take at least half a month and twenty days. Twenty days ago, the envoy of Beichi had not left the capital, and the snow girl was living well." The General of the Cavalry hit the nail on the head.

If Emperor Danxu hadn't been due to the dignity of the emperor, he would have rolled his eyes at the General of the Cavalry - I don't know if this is Beichi making excuses to provoke a war, so you should say it!

Seeing that the emperor was unhappy, the Marquis of Pingnan immediately spoke: "It's already here, and it's meaningless to say that this is not a matter of discussion and response."

The General of the Cavalry glanced at the Marquis of Pingnan and said, "Then Marquis please speak." You don't think what I said is meaningless, you can say it if you have meaning.

"..." The Marquis of Pingnan opened his mouth and almost choked to death. Who doesn't know that every time Beichi attacks, he is shot back by Prince Yun's troops. Now, the emperor has not directly assigned Prince Yun to go to war, what does he say!

In the imperial study, he fell into a strange silence.

Emperor Danxu glared at the Marquis of Pingnan - something useless, I have to take action in person: "The snow girl in Beichi was imprisoned in the heavenly prison because of falsely accusing Princess Yun..."

Si Haochen answered Danxu's words lightly: "Your Majesty is the ruler of the snow girl, and I don't know any specific matters."

Si Haochen's meaning is very clear. You locked up the snow girl, and the compensation given by Beichi has been filled in your private warehouse. Now if something happens, I will come to catch up with my princess. This is too ugly.

Emperor Danxu's face turned blue and white, but he couldn't say a rebuttal. Logically speaking, the compensation given by Beichi should indeed be sent to Prince Yun's Mansion. After all, the Snow Girl framed Princess Yun. But when he saw those holy medicines and gems, who would not want to take it for himself. If he had known that Beichi would have been rushing south, he would have sent some things to Prince Yun's Mansion, and now he would not be so passive.

There was another silence, and Emperor Danxu only felt a headache.

The Dingguo, which always maintained neutrality, made his public statement: "At the moment when the army is approaching, we will finally wait for the emperor's order."

Duke Ding took this initiative, and several others agreed.

After all, this ball was kicked back to Emperor Danxu. In fact, there is only one solution. If Si Haochen does not go to war, there will be no better choice—

The Minister of War was originally a member of Si Haochen. Duke Jingguo and General Cavalry were only loyal to the Supreme Emperor, and were basically half of Si Haochen. Marquis Pingnan was his confidant, and it was okay to ask him to lead 30,000 to 50,000 people to make small fuss. He could not afford to command an army of more than 100,000. In fact, Duke Dingguo is the best candidate. Unfortunately, he is almost eighty years old. He was probably disbanded all the way to the northwest.

Emperor Danxu summoned several people to discuss matters, but he was unwilling to let the tiger go back to the mountain. He wanted Si Haochen to ask for his order to go to war, so he could still be a high-profile person. Well, he was not expecting that Si Haochen would not be at all, and he was really angry to death!

But thinking about the war that was about to begin on the border, Emperor Danxu didn't care about his attitude and said directly: "Brother Nine Emperors, I ordered you to lead 150,000 elite troops to resist foreign enemies and set out in three days. The Ministry of War will assist in dispatching food and grass to provide the cost of the large army."

"My brother follows the order."

"There are my husbands who follow the order."

Si Haochen and the Minister of War received the order, and Emperor Danxu waved his hand and said, "Let's retreat."

Several people left the imperial study room, and Emperor Danxu captured the Baoyan on the imperial desk. This place was his favorite. After thinking about it, he put it down. He rubbed his forehead and felt that one head was two big.

Si Haochen first went to the Duke's Mansion to pick up Mingruo, and got on the carriage and slowly returned home.

"Danxu asked me to lead my troops to the battle and set out in three days." Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's cheek.

"How can we go?" Theoretically, the general was riding a horse when he went on the war.

"Of course, it's a boat."

"Ah? There are still waterways to the northwest?" Ming Ruo was surprised. Shouldn't the northwest be drier?

Si Haochen took Ming Ruo into his arms: "Let's go to Jiangnan first and transport some food and grass to the northwest."

"No problem." Ming Ruo understood Si Haochen's purpose of taking her to Jiangnan in seconds. Using space to transport food and grass is indeed a time-saving and labor-saving and worry-free. "But, when you go to war for the emperor, don't he give food and grass?"

"I don't want his old sesame seeds and grains. When I go to war, I only need real money and silver for food, grass and military supplies." Si Haochen looked arrogant.

Mingruo also figured it out. With Emperor Danxu's scrupulousness, he would definitely not be able to bring good things to Si Haochen to raise soldiers. It would be better to take the money and buy it yourself.
