Chapter 396 [Continued] Master and
Princess Yong thought for a while and replied, "It was in a very remote place in Zhaoming Temple. He was injured by a sword and stabbed above his heart. Yingying said, if you turn a little bit more, you can turn the center."
Xu Jiajing stroked his beard and sighed: "Master Huo's life should not be lost, but he actually encountered the princess to rescue him."
Princess Yong smiled faintly: "It's just a coincidence."
The two were talking, and King Yong had already opened the paper roll and checked it. His expression gradually turned solemn. When Xu Jiajing saw it, he said, "Prince, what's wrong?"
King Yong said in a deep voice: "It was me who handed me over to Huo Jiye to investigate the news about the Prince's Mansion."
Perhaps because the news was not good, his face was a little gloomy, and he slowly said, "The prince has joined forces with many ministers and is preparing to submit the book to the emperor after the Yuan Dynasty."
"Gui Fan?" Xu Jiajing was shocked and quickly calmed down again, saying, "Gui Fan mentioned it two years ago. The emperor did not agree at that time. I think this will happen this time. The prince doesn't have to worry for the time being."
King Yong's eyebrows were still frowning, and he twisted the paper, saying, "This time it's not certain. The enemy of Rong came to attack and broke two cities in a row. The war was tight. My father was worried about this for many days. I
Recently, he seems to be in poor health. After hearing the news from the Imperial Hospital, his father seems to be in a state of health recently and is taking medicine."
Before he finished his words, Xu Jiajing immediately understood that the prince and King Yong had a swaying force, and the two sides checked and balanced, and the court could still be stabilized, but now there are strong enemies outside, and the emperor is not at peace. At this critical moment, the hearts of the court
If there is a little more trouble, something may happen.
If the emperor wants to stabilize the situation, it is the best way to let King Yong return to the vassal state.
King Yong pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "How is the matter of arranging Cui Yunhao into the Ministry of War?"
Xu Jiajing was not careful that he mentioned this matter, and was stunned for a moment before answering: "The emperor agreed, but there was one thing that the prince also recommended someone to join the Ministry of War. The emperor... also agreed."
King Yong's expression suddenly subsided. Emperor Yongtai liked to play power. King Yong even had some doubts. If they hadn't been to the Ministry of War and the Crown Prince at the same time, Cui Yunhao would have not been able to enter the Ministry of War. He suddenly sighed.
"Return to the vassal?"
Chu Yingying put down the medical case in her hand and said in confusion: "Is it the news given by King Yong?"
Cui Yunhao nodded, Chu Yingying thought for a while, and said, "I remember that this happened, but the prince's plan did not succeed, but was blamed by the emperor."
She said this and suddenly laughed and said to Cui Yunhao: "You can guess what if King Yong didn't want to return to the vassal state?"
Cui Yunhao did ponder for a while and tentatively said, "Is King Yong seriously ill?"
Chu Yingying smiled and nodded, saying, "King Yong is seriously ill, and many court officials have requested the emperor to let him return to the vassal state. The emperor immediately blamed the prince, but this plan has not been achieved."
She said, paused, and said, "But this is not the most important thing at the moment. In a few months, the enemy of Rong will break two more cities. Lou Customs lost, General Pingyuan died in battle, and the soldiers retreated to Yu.
Links.”
Cui Yunhao was shocked and looked at her in horror: "Yulian Pass is the most important pass in the Central Plains. If it is lost, it will be equivalent to opening the gate of our Great Zhou to the Rong enemy."
Chu Yingying nodded and said, "When the enemy soldiers arrived at Yulian Pass, they would submit letters to our court for tribute. At that time, the court officials would be divided into two factions, one is the main war and the other is the main harmony."
She said this, put down the medical case, looked at Cui Yunhao, and said, "But the Ministry of War has made a strong decision, and the Rong enemy threatened the lives of the people in the four cities on the frontier, and the emperor agreed."
When Cui Yunhao heard this, he shook his head slightly and frowned, saying, "This matter is inappropriate. Rong Di is greedy and will definitely not withdraw his troops easily."
Chu Yingying said: "So, later the Ma market was added. In July, the Minister of War was imprisoned and abandoned the city. The left and right ministers of the Ministry of War were exiled to the border. In addition, there were many officials who were in charge of peace, all of whom were more or less.
It’s a good thing to be implicated and dismissed from office.”
Her tone was calm and her voice was not loud, but what she said was extremely shocking. Cui Yunhao watched the candlelight jumping in Chu Yingying's clear eyes, as if through those eyes, he could see the old one
A bloody storm.
He thought rapidly in his mind and said, "But with the emperor's temperament, it is impossible to easily agree to the peace talks."
However, why did he compromise in the end? Cui Yunhao was puzzled and suddenly, a light of inspiration appeared in his mind. It was not that he didn't want to fight, but that he couldn't fight.
He suddenly remembered the case of corruption among Cenzhou officials last year. If the treasury is deficient and the military pay cannot be allocated for the time being, and he will not be able to support this long-term battle?
At the beginning of this year, the imperial court held a major liquidation. It is said that because of the expenses last year, the emperor sent many officials to the death...
In this way, it makes sense that the Great Zhou treasury is deficient and cannot even support military pay and food. It can only agree to Rong's request for tribute. Since Emperor Taigaozu, Rong's enemies have repeatedly invaded the Great Surrounding Frontier for hundreds of years.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had no precedent for peace talks with the Rong and the enemy. The Yongtai Emperor's Reign came from the wise lord and holy lord. In his opinion, this matter was simply a stain.
Emperor Yongtai himself would not be wrong, but those who were wrong were those court officials who strongly advocated peace.
Cui Yunhao instantly figured out the key points and took a breath of cold air. Within a few thoughts, he could almost foresee how steep the situation in the court in the next year would be!
And he happened to be in the center of the vortex, the Ministry of War.
The burning candlelight suddenly burst out with a lamp flower, which was very abrupt in the quiet room. Cui Yunhao's eyebrows jumped, raised his eyes and faced Chu Yingying's slightly worried gaze.
He smiled and reached out to her, his tone with a bit of comfort: "Yingying."
Chu Yingying handed him his hand, Cui Yunhao pulled her into his arms with a little force, hugged her tightly, let out a satisfying sigh, gently rubbed her black hair, and said, "Yingying
, What are you worried about?"
Chu Yingying shook her head: "No, I'm not worried, I'm just thinking..."
Her voice suddenly stopped, and Cui Yunhao lowered his head in confusion: "Hmm? What do you think?"
Chu Yingying suddenly smiled and said, "I was wondering how Tanhua Xiao Cuilang, who was in his previous life, responded to this situation in the court."
As she said, Su Bai's fingers stroked Cui Yunhao's sword eyebrows, his eyes brightened, and said, "I wonder how graceful you were at that time? It's such a pity that it's a pity that I didn't have the chance to meet, it's really a pity."
After hearing this, Cui Yunhao's eyes surged with infinite tenderness. He leaned over Chu Yingying's lips and kissed her gently, with a smile in his eyes: "What's the regret for this? Am I not in front of you now? You want to see
You can see as long as you see Yingying until you get tired of it.”
Chu Yingying smiled, carefully depicted Cui Yunhao's eyebrows and eyes, and whispered: "How can you get tired? Your heart is like my heart, and it does not disappoint your lovesickness."
A few days later, Prince Yong’s Mansion.
A maid walked in a hurry and turned around and almost hit the group opposite her. She exclaimed, and her eyes were covered in purple. The woman scolded angrily: "You are blind, so anxious,
Hurry up to reincarnate!"
The maid immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Please forgive me for my crime. It was because I was blind and offended my wife."
The woman was Concubine Liu. Later, she was removed from the position of Concubine because she angered King Yong and demoted her to concubine. She has always been arrogant. The maid hit her again. How could she let her go easily? She scolded the maid
