Luoyang,

Li Qingxue threw the note in her hand into the stove beside her, frowned and left the study, and came to the back garden to relax.

Xu Weinan appeared under an ancient cypress like her shadow and walked with her.

The two were silent all the way, and finally came to a carved corridor. Xu Weinan broke the silence and said:

"The appearance of Duke Qin has completely disrupted His Highness's wishful thinking. Now the emperor has no choice but to sign Brother Su as the captain of Xuanjie, which is equivalent to acquiesceing this marriage. Next, it depends on Duke Qin and Murong to fight."

Li Qingxue rarely changed back to women's clothing today, wearing a big red robe, a sable fur cloak, a jade face with rouge, red lips were bright red, and her eyebrows were like lotus in the distant mountains, adding a bit of sharpness than usual.

Li Qingxue lifted her cloak and sat down by the corridor. She hugged her knees with her hands, looked at the rockery flowing water in the distance, and said lightly:

"The more I can't get something, the more I want it, the more fascinating it is. Why am I a little unwilling to accept it? Things seem to have no room for maneuver. Qin Gong forced himself to intervene, so that Qin Qing would probably marry Su Yu as he wished. Qin Gong and Murong fought each other. Regardless of winning or losing, Chen Ning and the other two were in danger."

Xu Weinan said in confusion: "The northern border will face a war. At such a critical moment, Duke Qin should not touch these two people. After all, there is still a relationship between father and son for so many years."

"It seems to be true on the surface," Li Qingxue smiled and said, "But we have overlooked a key figure, that is Qin Hui, who is a talented man, decisive in killing and using strange troops. In recent years, he has been in the Ministry of War to control the northern border and has been low-key in his life, so people seem to have gradually forgotten who turned the tide eight years ago."

"This time the war between the two countries is different from the past. There must be no mistakes in the deployment of defense in various places. Chen Ning and the other two must be willing to obey the orders of Duke Qin, but they always disagree with Qin Hui's opinions."

"Duke Qin has retreated behind the scenes for so many years and no longer cares about the matters in the Northern Xinjiang. Even if he wins the battle with Murong, he will inevitably need to recover from his injuries. Then the military and political power of the Northern Xinjiang falls on Qin Hui. Qin Hui is not as kind as Duke Qin, and he will never be ruthless in killing people. Given that Chen Ning and the other two had precedents of not obeying orders in the past, the Northern Xinjiang is afraid that before the war, the people will be rolling in."

"When it comes to that time, my father was forced to marry me into the Chen Ning family in a desperate situation to protect their lives. Unfortunately... I will not accept the orders of the outside king, and Qin Hui may not be obedient, haha... I don't want to be a widow just after marrying."

Xu Weinan was dumbfounded when he heard this. Although he thought he knew Li Qingxue quite well, since he arrived in Luoyang, the obedient and innocent princess in the past seemed to be drifting away. Now, Li Qingxue is so cunning and decisive that he is as familiar with the situation in the court, which makes him feel very unfamiliar.

He sighed and said, "Chen Ning and the other two have a high prestige in northern Xinjiang. If Qin Hui really wants to take action, it will probably cause civil strife. The emperor will definitely not want to see it and will definitely try to deal with it."

Li Qingxue smiled and said, "There is one way, but I don't know if my father is willing to do this. It's hard for me to propose this method, and it's easy for people to criticize."

Xu Weinan said in surprise: "What method?"

Li Qingxue said: "That is to let His Highness go to the northern border to take over the power. Only he can suppress Qin Hui. Unfortunately, there has been no precedent for the prince's personal expedition since ancient times. If he was not in Chang'an, there would be trouble in Chang'an."

Xu Weinan suddenly realized, and he finally understood why Li Qingxue said that she was not easy to propose this method.

The emperor has many children, and there are as many as six adult princes. If the prince leaves Chang'an, will those princes have any bad ideas? It's hard to say...

At this time, a snow-white eagle flew into the garden and landed steadily on Li Qingxue's raised wrist.

She took off the paper roll tied to the legs of the hawk, raised her arms, and the hawk spread her wings and flew away.

She held the paper roll in her hand and looked at Xu Weinan, and smiled and said, "The letter I had previously told my father that once Su Yu arrived in the northern border smoothly, Qingxue asked her father to agree, and I would lead the battalions gathered from the six southern roads to the northern border, form a single army, deploy defenses in Peking Prefecture, and echo each other in Datong Prefecture. Now the reply is coming, do you guess your father will agree?"

Xu Weinan couldn't help but smile and said, "There is no precedent for the prince's personal expedition, and there is no precedent for the princess to lead the army. Moreover, your highness is not in military affairs and has never had any experience in commanding troops. How could the emperor let you, a woman, take on such an important task?"

Li Qingxue smiled and said, "Qingxue has been in contact with military tactics since she was six years old. She just kept it from Mr. Xu, but her father knew it."

Xu Weinan was stunned

Then, Li Qingxue unfolded the paper roll in her hand, and her eyes, which were originally as calm as water, instantly shone brightly.

"Awesome! The father has put King Huai under house arrest, the King of Jin's imperial guards' tiger talisman was also taken away, the King of Han was demoted to Jiannan Road, and the King of Wu was vassalized in Jiangnan, and all his worries were eliminated. His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince was indeed going to fight in person. I just said, what I can think of, how could the Father not have thought of?"

Xu Weinan was stunned by the sound of a silly hearing this... This father and daughter are really... too many plans.

Li Qingxue smiled sweetly and tore the paper roll in her hand, "My fate is up to me, but I can't do it. Qin Qing will marry whoever he wants. There is no reason why I can't. Mr. Xu quickly prepare, we are going to northern Xinjiang."

Xu Weinan's cheeks twitched: "Your Majesty... has you agreed?"

Li Qingxue smiled like a flower: "The father said something in his letter, which is what I heard from him in my life, and the only thing that seems to be what a father should say to his daughter."

Xu Weinan's face was stiff, "What do you mean?"

Li Qingxue stood up and smiled and said, "The most like my daughter, there is no reason to lose to someone else's daughter."

Xu Weinan shook his head and sighed, "The madman, they are all madmen......

.........

The Daqian Dynasty had an emergency sign from the camps in various places, with a total of 150,000 troops. In addition, the 80,000 imperial guards taken away by Prince Li Yuanqian from Chang'an, the northern border would be deployed in the defense of nearly 600,000 troops.

The Crown Prince Li Yuanqian personally fought on behalf of the emperor and was in charge of the northern border to supervise the war. General Qin Guang was the commander. Qin Hui and Chen Ting, Xiongzhen Prefecture, Li Qingxue, Beiping Prefecture, and Linlu Guanning Mu were named the commander-in-chief of the four towns.

When Li Qingxue led her army to the north, news of her enthronement had already spread in northern Xinjiang.

Many people find it incredible why the Emperor, Shengming, placed a delicate princess in such a critical position before such a big battle.

Even the commanders of the battalions who had already been stationed in Peking Prefecture were confused and confused at this time. Could it be that these people would obey a woman's command in the future? How could they play like this in military and national affairs?

.........

Emperor Chongming, who was far away in Chang'an, was taking the pill from Li Fang and putting it into his mouth with warm water.

Li Fang bowed his head and stood respectfully and whispered: "I failed to stop Su Yu this time, and it was my master who was disgusted by Qin Guang, an old man. It was my master's fault. I beg my master to punish him."

Emperor Chongming smiled slightly, held his elbow on the pillow, closed his eyes and said:

"It has been decades since each other's disgust, and that's not the first time? But this young man surnamed Su made me feel pity for talent. At the age of nineteen, a cultivator in the eighth realm, I am afraid of the younger generation. The more I do this, the less I can't let it go. Since that girl Qingxue is interested in this son, I should do my best to make this happen."

Li Fang said in confusion: "But...what if Qin Guang announces Miss Qin's marriage in advance, wouldn't the master be at a disadvantage?"

"That's also after the war," Emperor Chongming twisted his neck lazily, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Among my many children, Qingxue is the most like me. She also needs to rely on her own ability to get married. If she doesn't have the ability, she can only marry Chen Ting and Ning Mu's cowardly sons. She knows what to do. When the child is older, I don't need me to teach you anymore."

"Master Shengming, Your Highness Ninth will definitely not disappoint you," Li Fang saw that Emperor Chongming's breathing gradually stabilized, and he retreated with the opportunity.
