Chapter 539 Are You Willing to Go?
The Tang newspaper was sent from the border, and the Tang newspaper said that Xiao Xiao rushed to the battlefield, Murong Jie was injured, and everything in the army was temporarily handed over to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao went to the battlefield, which reassured the emperor, but at the same time he was very worried.
Xiao Xiao is a famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has rich experience in battle, is calm, thoughtful, strategizing, and possesses all the characteristics of a famous general.
The worry is that this time, Lord Xiao Hou led the troops, Xiao Xiao led the troops, and the Xiao family once again stole the limelight.
He didn't believe that the Xiao family would rebel, but the Xiao family had the ability to rebel, and Xiao Xiao was emotional, so it was inevitable that he would not be used by others.
This is the emperor's concern.
The emperor planned everything ambitiously, but he didn't know how ridiculous what he had done would look like in the future.
Because, all of this is impossible to come true, but the only one who benefits from his tossing is King Nanhuai.
The emperor always thought that he was an emperor with insight. He knew that King Nanhuai had different intentions, but he thought that as an emperor, he could control King Nanhuai.
King Nanhuai rose rapidly by his side. Before that, the series of designed blows had already made King Nanhuai lose the ability to plot rebellion, so he could only linger on.
Today, however, he has regained his former glory.
The emperor's promotion of him did not mean trust. He placed a large number of people around King Nanhuai to monitor and control King Nanhuai.
However, how could these people know about King Nanhuai's real actions? Therefore, what these people report in the past is all fake news.
What is the purpose of promoting King Nanhuai? Of course it was prepared for Murong Jie.
It's not that he doesn't believe in Murong Jie, but in this battle, if Murong Jie wins the battle and returns to the court, he will be a hero of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his meritorious service can be the master of the town. The brothers who made military exploits suppressed it, and this matter had to be done by King Nanhuai.
In the past, he believed in Murong Jie deeply, but now he believes that Murong Jie has tasted the taste of the emperor, he has mastered the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, the so-called asking the gods is easy to send the gods away, if the regent joins forces with the Xiao family, he, the emperor, will die up.
The only thing the emperor worries about now is the war.
He felt that this battle was inevitable, so he never thought that if he did not fight, there would always be foreign enemies harassing him. This would damage the dignity of Da Zhou and kill or injure his people in Da Zhou.
From this point of view, the emperor still took care of the overall situation, and in the eyes of the common people, he was still a wise king.
Therefore, he was overjoyed when he received the letter of credence sent by Prince Qi himself.
Because, if this battle cannot be won, Murong Jie will not become a hero of the Great Zhou.
The emperor is not a violent person, he will not think about gaining anything through war, because he knows that war is cruel and will lead to the loss of life.
He immediately summoned the courtiers to discuss.
The voices of the courtiers were opposed and those who agreed, each expressing their views, the whole court was very lively.
It doesn't matter what the courtiers say, the emperor doesn't care at all, because he has already made a decision, he convened the courtiers to discuss, just hoped that everyone would support his decision.
And there is no doubt that after he uttered his holy will, there is no other opinion but to follow his will.
He ordered Lu Gonggong to pass his son An into the palace.
This time, Murong Jie followed Zi'an into the palace as a fool.
Because of his excellent disguise, he did not attract the emperor's attention.
The emperor received Zi'an in the imperial study.
"Zian sees the emperor!" She went in, and Murong Jie stood outside the imperial study.
The emperor looked at her with a smile, "Let's get flat and sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zi'an was also very clear about the emperor's intention to summon her into the palace today, but he remained calm.
"Your mother has entered the palace. I thought she was in the palace. As a daughter, you would often visit her in the palace, but I didn't see you coming in." The emperor began to exchange greetings.
Zi'an smiled and said: "Mother came to the palace to teach the princesses and princes how to paint, why does Zi'an always come in to disturb? If the teaching is not good, the emperor will not blame Zi'an?"
"Hahaha!" The emperor laughed, "You have such a sharp tongue, sometimes people love to hate you at the same time."
"The emperor is absurd." Zi'an also smiled, but felt that such a small talk was too embarrassing, so let's go directly to the topic.
The emperor obviously didn't intend to get into the topic so quickly, and asked her, "By the way, does Lao Qi have a letter for you?"
"No." Zi'an shook his head.
"This kid never sent you a letter in the Tang newspaper. I thought he would send you a letter in private."
"My lord is probably busy with arranging troops, so you don't have time to write to me, right?" Because Murong Jie is now in Beijing, Zi'an inevitably has more thoughts.
"Well, is that so?" The emperor looked at her with sharp eyes, and the expression he had just chatted with was completely different.
Zi'an was stared at by him a little hairy, "Your Majesty, I don't know why the Emperor summoned Zi'an into the palace today?"
The emperor restrained his expression, and said: "It's like this, Prince Qi of Beimo sent a letter of credence. The natural disaster in Beimo caused a plague to spread, and tens of thousands of people died. Beimo asked Da Zhou for help. I hope you can bring people there. Heal the plague, what do you mean?"
Zi An asked cautiously: "Then what does the emperor mean?"
"I sent you into the palace to ask you, are you willing to go?"
Zi'an felt a bit embarrassed, "But Beimo and I, Da Zhou, are at war now. Is it appropriate for me to go to Beimo? How can I ensure my personal safety?"
"The advantage of this matter is that the war will be temporarily stopped. If you can cure the plague in Beimo, Beimo is willing to promise that you will never send troops to invade."
"Promise?" Zian smiled lightly, "But didn't Bei Mo and Da Zhou have a peace agreement? Obviously, they didn't abide by it. The emperor thinks that they can be trusted just by their promise?"
The emperor stared at her, his eyes were as sharp as before.
Zi An suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing. The matter between Bei Mo and Da Zhou was a political matter, and she could not interfere or even express her own opinion.
"Zian just feels that this time Bei Mo provokes, and the tired prince is going to go to war, so Zi'an is naturally unhappy." Zi'an said pretending to be angry, making the emperor feel that she just talked about Bei Mo and Da Zhou because she was dissatisfied with her husband. expedition.
Although dissatisfied with her husband, the emperor will not be happy, but it is better than discussing government affairs in front of the emperor.
"Well," the emperor responded lightly, his expression already a little displeased, "How Bei Mo fulfills his promise is not something you care about. I only ask you, are you going or not?"
Zi'an could only say: "If the emperor wants Zi'an to go, then Zi'an will go naturally."
The emperor seemed very satisfied with the answer, so he was willing to say with a pleasant face: "Don't worry, I will send someone to protect you, and you will not be harmed in Beimo."
Zi'an acted as if he obeyed the arrangement, "Yes, Zi'an is following the emperor's will."
The emperor said: "I will tell Lao Qi about this matter, so you can go there with peace of mind. If you do this well, the war will stop, and Lao Qi will be able to come back."
Zi'an knew that the follow-up matter would be handled by Lao Qi herself, so it was inconvenient for her to say more, and said, "Yes, that Zi'an will resign!"
