Chapter 503 The princess comes forward
Xiao Yuan went to the war without sacrificing his power. Of course, he had left a hand in order to prevent sudden changes.
Gu Xue's bedroom.
At this time, she seemed to be taking out a hidden brocade box.
Inside the box is a letter of Wang Zhao written in advance, written by Xiao Yuan and left when he left.
There is also a black gold tiger talisman.
The tiger talisman is a token of the king and the military appointment. Both are prepared and the troops can be mobilized.
The next day, the royal palace was held.
All the ministers gathered together, and Gu Xue walked in slowly in a white dress.
When people saw her, they were very surprised, but they still bent down and saluted:
"See the Princess—"
"Everyone is exempted from gifts," Gu Xue said, then walked forward and stood still, turning around.
Of course she didn't dare to reach the royal chair. Gu Xue was considered a virtuous supporter. Xiao Yuan had an explanation for her wife.
After a week of sight, she said straight to the point:
"Before the king went to war, he made a special statement that if there was any change in the country, he would order all officials to be ordered by the king."
As she said that, she also looked at Liu Yuzhi: "I'm sorry, the Prime Minister declared an edict."
"Yes." Liu Yuzhi bowed and responded, then stepped forward, respectfully accepted the edict, and faced the ministers. After unfolding, he glanced a little, and then read it loudly:
"The King's Decree."
"I, after the Eastern Expedition, if there is a change in the country, Su Yi will be granted military command, mobilized troops and quelled all wars..."
This royal edict is simple and clear.
After hearing this, the ministers also shouted: "I will obey the king's orders--"
"General Su Yi."
"I'm here!" The latter quickly left the list.
Gu Xue took out the tiger talisman, handed over the latter, and said seriously: "Please give me everything, I hope the general will live up to the king's trust."
"Please rest assured to you, Empress! I will be a powerful enemy!" Su Yi said in a trembling voice, and at the same time he knelt on the ground, raised his hands high, and respectfully took over the military talisman.
Unexpectedly, before the king left, he left the tiger talisman with the princess. This time, all the ministers felt a little relieved.
This is also the reason why Xiao Yuan did not take Su Yi on the expedition.
After he stood up, Gu Xue said again: "Although I don't know about soldiers, I also asked, in the face of the current situation, the Wu and Chu army invaded, and I don't know what the general plans."
Su Yi seemed to have been prepared for this, and without even thinking about it, he immediately said: "After returning to the emperor, after I dispatched troops, I will focus on the Ningyang side. As for Shanyuguan and Yiyang area, there are also our troops. In addition, the Xuan army attacked Chu, the King of Chu would not dare to fight to the death, so there is no worries here."
"Yes." Gu Xue nodded slightly.
However, at this time, Liu Changqing stood up: "There are not many soldiers in China that can be mobilized now. I dare to ask the general, since he has to face the Wu army with 200,000, how likely is he to win?"
He actually asked this to make the ministers in the court feel at ease and avoid Wang Ting's chaos.
Su Yi said: "Mr. Liu doesn't need to worry too much. In fact, Guan Kui's 50,000 defenders can block the Wu army. The reason why I have to mobilize troops to Ningyang is to prepare for the next increase in the Wu army."
"General, is it that the Wu army is far more than 200,000?" Someone couldn't help asking.
"Generals should plan for a crisis. Regardless of whether the Wu army increases its troops, we still have to make preparations." Su Yi said.
"In this way, I understand." Liu Changqing no longer asked.
Gu Xue looked at everyone and said, "My ministers should discuss politics. I am not inconvenient to this palace, so I will leave first."
Hearing this, Jiang Yi was the first to react and quickly flattered: "Ah? I respectfully send the Empress to the Queen—"
As Xiao Yuan’s woman, sometimes Gu Xue needs to come out to take charge of the overall situation. Just like Su Yi, no one has the right to appoint a military commander, but if she takes the tiger talisman, the effect will be different.
The appointment is only a military aspect, and next, she has to do another thing.
That afternoon, Gu Xue summoned Liu Yuzhi, Liang Yuan, and Ye Cheng in the palace.
The three of them arrived and greeted each other in the living room.
The princess was so beautiful that the three of them didn't dare to look directly at him, but they all stood there with their heads slightly lowered and respectfully.
Gu Xue glanced at the three of them and said, "This incident is not only as simple as Wu and Chu's attack on Qin. I am afraid that some things lurking under the water in the capital will also take the opportunity to attack, trying to make my rear unstable."
"The Empress means..."
Gu Xue did not say too much nonsense and said directly: "The Prime Minister is responsible for all domestic government affairs, commands all officials, stabilizes the overall situation, and lets go of other trivial matters for the time being."
"Yes." Liu Yuzhi accepted the order.
Gu Xue continued: "At present, the situation in Qin is indeed not good, so there will inevitably be some people who are greedy for life and fear of death. If these people hold important positions and are used by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Therefore, the entire Duwei and Battalion must be dispatched to investigate and conduct in detail, and erect a wall that is not airtight in the dark."
"Wuwei Mansion, while maintaining the capital's public order, crack down on speculative businessmen and prohibit rumors."
After hearing this, the two did not respond immediately, but subconsciously looked at each other.
Seeing this, Gu Xue's voice turned cold and said, "This is my order! It's not a request for you."
Strictly speaking, she has no right to mobilize the Wuwei Mansion and Duwei Camp.
However, when he heard this, Ye Cheng and Liang Yuan were still shocked, quickly clasped their fists, and said in unison: "Yes, I'm taking the order."
"The front line requires military force to retreat to the enemy, and the domestic market requires absolute stability. In this way, the morale of the soldiers on the front line will not be shaken. All three adults should go and prepare quickly. I represent the king, please." Gu Xue said seriously again.
"Please rest assured to you, Empress."
After Ye Cheng and Liang Yuan received the order, they did not delay for a moment and left without any delay. Liu Yuzhi moved the corners of his mouth and said a little worriedly:
"Empress, at this time, the king must focus on attacking Liang. In the opinion of his ministers, can the empress... be able to persuade the king with letters from his family?"
"It's useless, he won't come back." Gu Xue said directly.
Yes, she knows her man.
After this deployment, Su Yi led his troops away. The overall situation of the country was the prime minister responsible for stability, and the Wuwei Mansion and Duwei Camp were fully responsible for detailed and spreading rumors to prevent anyone from deliberately creating panic.
Don’t underestimate these details. If the front line is still fighting, but the domestic political situation is unstable, the capital is turbulent, the people are panic, and businessmen take the opportunity to raise prices, these things are very likely to be fatal.
As a result, this happened.
After the war broke out in Ningyang, the King of Wu adopted the suggestion of a counselor, and the military was constantly on the front battlefield, and secretly ordered frequent activities.
There is no doubt that its intention is to turmoil in Qinzhou and then affect the situation of the war.
