Chapter 251: Discussion in Chang'an, war or peace(1/3)
"Emergency military situation! Escape quickly!"
"Emergency military situation! Escape quickly!"
"Emergency military situation! Escape quickly!"
September 27, the 30th year of Zhengde.
Around noon.
An urgent military situation at the expense of the lives of more than thirty or forty top horses.
It took eight days and spanned nearly three thousand miles, and finally arrived at Chang'an, the capital.
Several of Li Guangli's personal guards had layers of dead skin on their mouths and bloodshot eyes.
With a red eight-hundred-mile emergency flag on his waist, he drove several strong and fast horses with all his strength.
Speeding past on Zhuque Avenue, the main road in Chang'an City.
Wherever he passed, everything was covered in chaos and chaos.
However.
The person who is currently on the Suzaku Avenue.
Whether it's a rich man in gorgeous clothes or a dignitary wearing various official robes.
Or when traveling, you are always surrounded by hundreds of servants and relatives of the emperor.
No matter how respected his status is.
At this time, after the ride, none of them dared to show even the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.
On a three-column green-covered carriage.
Jin Wang Xu Zhen, who had just left the morning court, looked solemnly through the curtain of his car, looking in the direction of the eight hundred miles of rapid disappearance.
"Something big happened."
Xu Zhen slowly lowered the car curtain and murmured in a low voice with a solemn face.
"go......"
Xu Zhen opened the curtain again and wanted to give the driver some instructions.
But for some reason, when the words came to my lips, I could never blurt them out.
The coachman waited quietly for more than ten seconds. Seeing that Xu Zhen still had nothing to say, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, where are we going?"
Xu Zhen's face paused slightly when he heard this.
After pondering for a few breaths, he slowly lowered the car curtain and said, "Go home."
"Shocked..." The coachman was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then hurriedly said: "Yes."
After a while.
The three-column green-covered carriage, guarded by dozens of guards, slowly drove into the huge Jin Prince's Mansion.
Inside the Chengyun Hall of the Prince of Jin's Mansion.
Xu Zhen frowned and paced back and forth in the hall.
The scene of the red 800-mile express flag speeding past kept popping up in my mind.
As a prince who has led troops to conquer all directions.
How could he not understand the meaning of the red eight-hundred-mile emergency flag?
"Something big has happened! Something big must have happened!"
"Did something happen in Mobei or something happened in the Western Region?!"
Xu Zhen kept mumbling to himself as he paced.
Of course, there was no one in the empty Chengyun Hall who could answer his questions.
As for entering the Ministry of War, or entering the palace to inquire in person?
No matter how restless Xu Zhen was at this moment.
None of them would do so before receiving Emperor Zhengde's decree or summons.
Take the initiative to go to the Ministry of War or the Imperial Palace.
First, there must be no overly close relationship between the prince and the Ministry of War.
Secondly, the prince needs to be concerned about state affairs, but he cannot be too concerned.
This is the prince's bottom line and the prince's red line.
Anyone who attempts to cross this line, no matter how high or low the king's title is, will surely die.
After a while.
Jin Wang Xu Zhen was always restless.
He strode towards the circular hall.
After passing through the Wan Palace and entering the harem.
Xu Zhen's pace became faster and faster.
There is a vague tendency to trot.
pity.
The injured leg from the arrow still weighed him down after all.
Along the way, countless palace maids witnessed Xu Zhen's "walking as fast as flying", and the expressions of the eunuchs all changed.
While walking, Xu Zhen had no time to say even a single nonsense.
He just waved his hand to stop the maids and eunuchs from coming forward.
Then he went straight to the Buddhist Hall in the side hall of Changchun Hall without saying a word.
Inside the Buddhist hall of the Changchun Hall of the Jin Dynasty Palace.
Prince Jin, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, could not help but frown slightly when he heard the rapid footsteps outside the palace.
"Huan'er, go see who is outside the hall."
Princess Jin frowned for a moment, and then calmly gave instructions to the maid beside her.
"yes."
The maid Huan'er bowed and agreed, and then walked towards the door of the side hall without any haste.
Don't wait until he reaches the door of the side hall.
The door to the side hall was quickly pushed open by someone from outside.
"Youhua, have you had any correspondence with Jie'er or Ying'er recently?"
Before Xu Zhen stepped into the Buddhist hall of the side hall, his urgent voice had already reached the ears of Princess Jin.
The Jie'er and Ying'er he mentioned were his eldest son Xu Jie and his second son Xu Ying who were still staying in the Western Regions.
After Princess Jin heard the urgency in Xu Zhen's voice, her expression changed slightly.
He stood up hurriedly and said, "The Japanese side and Jie'er exchanged letters the other day."
The words are over.
Princess Jin asked in a low voice with a worried face: "Your Majesty, has something happened again in the Western Regions?"
"I don't know at the moment." Xu Zhen took a deep breath several times, and then asked again: "Where is Jie'er's letter."
When Princess Jin heard this, the worry on her face did not diminish at all.
Jogging all the way to the corner of the Buddhist hall.
He hurriedly took out a rosewood box from the bookshelf in the corner.
"Your Majesty, all the letters sent by Jie'er and Ying'er this year are here."
Princess Jin trotted to Xu Zhen's side with the red sandalwood box in her arms, and then hurriedly opened the red sandalwood box, revealing more than ten letters contained in it.
Just like most people.
As children grow older, communication with their father will become less frequent.
Even Xu Zhen, who returned to the throne as the only Qizhu prince in the Zhou Dynasty, could not escape this law.
Xu Zhen quickly picked up the letter at the top of the rosewood box.
He quickly took out the letter at a speed that was much faster than before.
This ordinary letter was filled with the parents' pet peeves and feelings of concern for their parents who were far away in the capital.
Xu Zhen never thought that his eldest son, who had always been taciturn, would be so talkative in his letters.
Presumably, Princess Jin had asked about the situation of the countries in the Western Regions in her previous letter.
