Chapter 211 Gathering in Yizhou
At the same time, several ministers were summoned to the palace again. This time there were also King Wei and He Songning.
"I intend to let the King of Wei lead an army to fight on my behalf. What do you think?" Emperor Liang De said casually.
It shocked everyone.
Including the King of Wei himself.
He had wanted to take away the military power from King Xuan a long time ago. His mother and concubine even scolded him for being stupid when he said he wanted to go on an expedition.
Isn't this the opportunity that his father specially left for him to make achievements?
It would also be nice to let everyone know that he is not just good at poetry!
He can also be that tiger!
Before the ministers could react, the King of Wei paid his respects: "My son, I will definitely live up to my command!"
The ministers were surprised and uncertain, unable to guess the emperor's thoughts for a while.
First they got rid of the Xu family, but now they can’t even tolerate their own son? That shouldn’t be the case!
They hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, King Wei has never been on the battlefield, I'm afraid..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, what's more, the concubine in the palace of His Highness King Wei is also pregnant..."
Emperor Liang De interrupted coldly: "It's precisely because Concubine Qiao is also pregnant..."
When talking about this matter, Emperor Liang De was still a little speechless.
King Wei's maternal grandfather and his family were taken care of by him, and King Wei was still interested in getting his concubine pregnant.
"Now that Concubine Qiao's father, Qiao Teng, the Jiedushi of Yizhou, has disappeared, he may have encountered an accident. As a son-in-law, shouldn't King Wei be the one to rescue his father-in-law? It should be a good story if word spreads." Liang
Emperor De continued.
"What? All the Jiedushi envoys are missing?" King Wei was even more shocked.
Only then did he feel that this matter seemed... a bit tricky.
He had heard of Qiao Teng's bravery.
When other ministers heard this, they also felt that the situation was terrifying.
But since this is the case, King Xuan should be allowed to go...
Emperor Liang De seemed to be unaware of their doubts, and immediately threw out an order that confused them: "Xue Ning compiled "Six Tao" and "He Guanzi" had merit, and ordered him to follow the army.
Move, temporarily take charge of the post of Marching Sima."
Then there was the arrangement of who would be responsible for the food, grass and baggage, who would be responsible for the weapons, chariots and horses, etc...
Fortunately, the Xu family's remaining power after its fall was still there, so no one stood up to express dissent.
"Let's all go back." Emperor Liang De stood up, his face showing a hint of fatigue.
King Wei bowed and retreated. Not far from the palace, he stopped He Songning on the road.
"I was unsure at first, but when I thought you were going with me, I breathed a sigh of relief."
He Songning: "..." "Does the King of Wei know the official position of Marching Sima?"
"Of course I know that he is the general's assistant. Although he has no rank, he can participate in planning and coordinate military affairs, so he has great power."
"The Marching Sima is the secretariat...this means that your majesty knows that I was once an aide to the King of Wei."
"So what? Didn't my father treat me very well? I specifically asked you to continue to serve as my staff. It can be seen that the turmoil in my grandfather's family has passed. After cutting ties with the Xu family, my father began to use me again.
He intends to let me compete for King Xuan’s military power."
He Songning suppressed a trace of anger between his brows and said nothing.
He was wondering if Emperor Liang De was already doubting his intentions...
This move was to test whether the two of them had any intentions...
He Songning said goodbye to King Wei immediately.
The king of Wei was surprised and said: "You are leaving now? You and I will not discuss the matter of Yizhou again?"
"Let's discuss it on the way." He Songning concealed the murderous intent in his eyes.
King Wei nodded, thinking about how many things he would have to pack before setting off today...
And here, after Emperor Liang De issued the order, it quickly spread throughout the palace and inside.
Concubine Wan, no, she is concubine Wan now.
When Concubine Wan heard about it from the palace servants, she broke the cup in her hand on the spot.
"How could your Majesty... how could you do this?" she hissed.
Isn't this sending her son to die?
Where did King Wei fight?
She has also heard a thing or two about the Mon people, saying that they are more ferocious than Beidi! They know how to peel off human skins and dig up human bones! It is not a peaceful death!
The palace servant stood aside, but did not pick up the fragments on the ground for her. Instead, he said: "What did Wan Bin say? Your Majesty is also doing good for the King of Wei. Wan Bin's dissatisfaction does not mean that she has misunderstood His Majesty's good intentions.
Careful?"
Wan Bin was so angry that she pointed at her and yelled: "You bitch..."
But she was hugged by grandma: "My dear, don't be angry."
Wan Bin pointed at the mess on the ground and said bitterly: "Pick it up."
The palace man bowed his head and said: "This slave has knelt on broken porcelain pieces too many times, and now my hands and feet are not convenient..."
Wanbi looked around in anger.
But she saw that everyone around her had their heads lowered, and no one met her eyes.
She suddenly said: "I heard that the fourth princess has been favored recently..."
"Yes." The palace man responded lightly, "I think he got busy because he was favored, but we haven't seen him since we moved here."
Wan Bin bit her lip tightly, her teeth were so hard that she almost bled.
White-eyed wolves! Everyone is a white-eyed wolf!
Wan Bin cursed crazily in her heart.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in sync at the moment.
After Liu Yuerong heard that King Wei was going to Yizhou, she almost fainted on the spot.
"Your Majesty, how could your Majesty do this?"
She had thought before that although Xue Qingyin was favored, she would have to go to a place like Yizhou with her fragile body, and sooner or later half of her life would be sacrificed. Being so far away from the capital, in the future King Xuan would like to return to the capital to compete for the throne.
No chance...
But now... King Wei is actually being sent! Still being sent to fight!
Liu Yuerong's belly was already showing pregnancy.
She held her belly with one hand, because her face gradually gained a bit of softness and radiance after becoming pregnant, but now she was completely pale.
It can also be called pitiful.
But King Wei didn't look at her and scolded her in a deep voice: "What do you know?"
"I'm just worried about His Highness's safety..."
"Why should a man be afraid of the dangers of life and death?" King Wei's voice became even louder. But he knew very well that if Yizhou was about to fall, King Xuan would definitely be the most panicked.
In his opinion, his father's move was clearly to send him to share the military merits and pick up ready-made ones, instead of allowing King Xuan's family to dominate.
Naturally, he couldn't say these words to Liu Yuerong.
Liu Yuerong said in a trembling voice: "But if His Highness is outside..." What should we, orphans and widowed mothers, do?
She didn't finish her words.
King Wei didn't like hearing this. Wouldn't this curse him? He immediately turned around and left.
Liu Yuerong was so angry that her stomach felt tight and painful, and she immediately fell back to her seat. The dowry maid beside her quickly supported her: "Why does the princess always say such things to disappoint His Highness? Concubine Qiao never said such things.
, His Highness also treated her favorably, and now he actually made her pregnant with a child..."
Mammy interrupted: "How are the princess and the side concubine the same? She only wants to please, but does not know the righteousness, so she is the side concubine. But the princess has to take on important responsibilities and dare to speak out unfaithful words."
Liu Yuerong had no choice but to hold back her emotions.
At this time, the maid said again: "I heard that Concubine Qiao's father disappeared in Yizhou."
"Oh?" Liu Yuerong's eyes lit up immediately.
"In fact, even if he is not missing, Your Majesty will definitely punish him. This is a crime of ineffective defense! If there is a loss of life in Yizhou, then his death will be even more difficult to redeem."
Liu Yuerong lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
"It's actually a good thing for Your Highness to leave the palace. Men work hard outside, while women discipline themselves at home..." The maid's meaning was already very obvious.
Liu Yuerong's eyes flickered: "Well, Concubine Qiao is also a little pitiful. I will comfort her tomorrow."
Without her father, who was a military governor, Qiao Xinyu naturally allowed her to be rounded and flattened, and she could have a miscarriage if she found any excuse.
Separated by a door.
However, Qiao Xinyu stopped King Wei at the corridor.
"Do you also want to persuade me not to go to Yizhou?" King Wei said coldly.
Qiao Xinyu suddenly knelt down and whispered: "Please, Your Highness, take me to Yizhou."
King Wei was dumbfounded: "Are you crazy? What kind of decency is this? Is there any reason for me to bring you a wife from the back house?"
Qiao Xinyu raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, but her face was full of determination: "My father disappeared in Yizhou, please take me to Yizhou. I am the only daughter of my father. If he dies in Yizhou, I will go to Yizhou."
