Chapter 1497: The marriage.2
“Good, good!”
Emperor Yongxing was overjoyed. with the elite of the Gu tribe joining us, Qingzhou’s crisis can be temporarily alleviated. Xu yinluo has surprised me time and time again.
Elite Gu? Xu yinluo … Everyone in the hall looked at each other.
Qian Qingshu’s eyes flickered, and he said, ”
“Your Majesty, is there any good news?”
Emperor Yongxing did not answer. He looked at the seal eunuch Zhao xuanzhen under the throne and smiled, ”
“For everyone to see.”
Zhao xuanzhen took it respectfully. He was extremely curious, but he didn’t dare to pry into its contents. He respectfully handed it to the new first assistant, Qian Qingshu.
Qian Qingshu’s expression was calm, but the speed at which he took the memorial was extremely fast. He opened the memorial and read it with rapt attention. After a long while, he took a deep breath.
“Minister Liu, you can finally have a good night’s sleep.”
Minister Liu was the Minister of Revenue who had aged several years since the winter disaster, and his hairline had moved up a few centimeters.
Upon hearing this, Minister Liu looked over and said anxiously, ”
“What does it say? Quick, let me take a look.”
I’m not on your side … Qian Qingshu calmly handed the memorial to Minister sun from the Ministry of Justice behind him.
Minister sun read it silently. His expression was extremely complicated. There was joy and disappointment.
The frustration was because the boy who used to be regarded as a thorn in the side had now become an unattainable figure, a top master in nine regions.
The memorial was passed around in everyone’s hands, and their old faces were either relieved or overjoyed. The most excited one was Minister Liu.
good, good. In this way, the situation in Qingzhou will be alleviated. I can also relax and have a good sleep … Minister Liu almost cried tears of joy.
Xu yinluo actually managed to make the Gu clan and great Feng ally. This is incredible, incredible.
His tone didn’t hide his admiration and praise.
The Dukes began to discuss in low voices.
how did he make the Gu tribe send out their troops at such a small price? ”
“The Gu clan has a deep hatred for us, Da Feng. Why did they choose to ally with Da Feng instead of Yunzhou?”
“He’s always able to impress people. Although he’s not like Wei Yuan, who can lead the three armies and win every battle, he’s still a genius. But as a warrior, he’s considered quite a figure in the transcendent domain.”
“With him and the warden, there’s still some hope for great Feng …”
Emperor Yongxing laughed,
“I’ll leave the Alliance agreement to the cabinet. Do you have any objections?”
Zhu Gong said,
“Your Majesty is wise.”
………….
After the meeting ended, Emperor Yongxing’s heavy mood was slightly relieved. The Alliance between the Gu clan and Da Feng was undoubtedly exciting news.
However, there was still one thing in Emperor Yongxing’s heart.
“Your Majesty, the head counselor requests an audience.”
Zhao xuanzhen stepped into the palace.
Emperor Yongxing frowned and said,”invite him in.”
Since he did not mention it in the Imperial study, it meant that Qian Qingshu had something to report alone.
Qian Qingshu, who had a white goatee, returned to the Imperial study under the lead of the eunuch.
“What does Prime Minister Qian want to discuss with me alone?”
Emperor Yongxing asked without any expression.
Qian Qingshu said in a deep voice, ”
“Your Majesty, bandits are rampant in various places. If we don’t send troops to eliminate them, it will lead to a great disaster sooner or later. Now that the pressure on Qingzhou has been reduced, we can divide our forces to encircle and annihilate them.”
Emperor Yongxing was silent.
Qian Qingshu shouted, ”
“Your Majesty, this subject is highly regarded by Your Majesty. I will do anything for Your Majesty, even if it costs me ten thousand lives.”
Emperor Yongxing was slightly moved,
“Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
Such a straightforward reply stunned Qian Qingshu, and he cupped his hands in greeting.
“Your Majesty is wise.”
Emperor Yongxing nodded,
“Beloved official, please withdraw, you are tired.”
Looking at Qian Qingshu’s back, Emperor Yongxing sat expressionlessly and did not move for a long time.
The thing that was bothering him was what Xu Xinian had suggested before. He wanted to secretly send experts to organize the refugees and Rob the merchants and the gentry class to calm down the refugees who were running rampant.
If such a decision to betray the class was exposed, Emperor Yongxing would be deserted by everyone.
After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to give up.
However, he did not expect that someone in the Imperial court would secretly carry out this plan and reap great results. The scale of the plan grew day by day.
“My enemies are not only the Yunzhou rebel army.”
Emperor Yongxing muttered in a low voice.
He knew very well who the enemy was.
At the same time, he secretly made a decision that he could not delay any longer. Bestowing the marriage was an urgent matter.
Xu niannian had disloyal thoughts and had secretly sided with the fourth prince, who was now the flame Prince.
And his decision would definitely affect Xu Qi ‘an.
If Xu Qi ‘an also fell to Prince geyan’s side, his throne would definitely be unstable.
Xu Qi ‘an had been promoted by Wei Yuan, who was an old friend of the Empress and a staunch supporter of the fourth prince. Moreover, Xu Qi’ an had a good relationship with huaiqing.
Now that there was a New Year’s Eve, they had decided to seek refuge with the fourth prince …
The only way that Emperor Yongxing could think of to break the situation was to marry his sister Lin ‘an to Xu Qi’ an.
In this way, the throne would be stable.
…………
Dexin court.
Not long ago, huaiqing had made a certain degree of renovation to the study. He had moved a sandbox and a map of Qingzhou. The desk was filled with military books, including the ” Sun Zi’s military tactics ” written by Xu Qi ‘an.
Xu Qi ‘an claimed that the book was written by his grandson, but huaiqing knew that he had no grandson.
He was just fooling around.
As a Princess, it was not easy for her to be so concerned about the war in Qingzhou.
Huaiqing was actually not proficient in military tactics, and he was even more of a layman when it came to leading troops and fighting wars. However, these days, he had been reading military books behind closed doors and practicing on the sand, and his progress had been extremely fast.
Of course, this was only an improvement in the overall situation. Practical military arrangements required too much experience, and there was not much meaning in talking about it on paper.
