Chapter 161 Applying for War
Xie Yunzhao had already performed two sets of boxing, but Shen Shurong had not come out yet. He led the children to take a bath, then put on beautiful robes, and waited for Rongrong to come out and surprise her.
After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone, he left the child and went straight to the meeting room.
Looking around, there was no sign of the five gentlemen. Instead, I saw that annoying pretty boy.
He was angry, the kind that was hard to be happy with.
Mo Chen stood up and saluted him: "Mo Chen greets General Xie."
"Why are you here?"
"Mo Chen is here to report some business matters to the princess."
"There are several big shopkeepers in the treasury business. When will it be your turn to come to the capital to report?"
“Husband.” Shen Shurong walked out of the chair and came over to pull him to sit together: “It’s not the treasury’s business, it’s mine.”
"Most of it is managed by Mo Chen. I asked him to come to Beijing to report the revenue."
"Oh." Xie Yunzhao sat next to her, put his arm around her waist, and squeezed it: "You guys continue."
Chen Shurong felt itchy, and when she was busy, she forgot how jealous her husband was.
Now is the time when she needs money. During the time when Xie Yunzhao disappeared, she stopped using the treasury to take on new business and transferred it to her own side.
The treasury was operating normally, and the rest of the silver went into his own pocket, so Li Chen sent people to check the accounts, but they could only take out the silver after two years of checking the treasury.
Mo Chen felt that he had hidden his thoughts very well, he clearly just wanted to watch her from afar, and he did so, even when he did things for her, he had only been seen a few times.
He was very self-aware. Based on his status alone, there was no possibility of him finding a good match. He also didn't know why General Xie was so wary of him.
After sending Mo Chen away, Chen Shurong dismissed his personal servants and lay in Xie Yunzhao's arms, smelling the fresh fragrance of his body after bathing: "My husband, did you bathe with vinegar?"
Xie Yunzhao knew what she meant, so he lowered his head and pecked her lips: "Is it sour?"
Shen Shurong deliberately frowned: “It’s so sour.”
"Is he more handsome or am I more handsome? Is he more powerful or am I more powerful?"
Shen Shurong didn't know how he got used to it, and asked so directly.
"Of course my husband is the best. He is the best looking, better at doing business than the most experienced shopkeeper, the best at leading troops, and the best at coaxing children."
"What else?" He didn't hear enough.
“Hmm…” Shen Shurong thought carefully for a moment, then motioned for him to lower his ear and come over.
Xie Yunzhao grinned and lowered his head impatiently. Was Rongrong going to say...
whee……
“And…” Shen Shurong whispered shyly, “The best thing about you is that you love me the most.”
Xie Yunzhao turned his head quickly, gave her a kiss, then stared at her and asked, "What else?"
besides?
"I can't think of it for now." Shen Shurong didn't know where to start.
The man raised his eyes: "And on the bed..."
"Okay, let's get down to business." Shen Shurong interrupted him and sat up. What were they talking about in bed in broad daylight?
"Rongrong blushed? Does that mean she's awesome or not?" Xie Yunzhao asked with his teeth bared.
Shen Shurong bit her lip and said nothing.
"Don't want to tell?" The collar was lifted up and someone went in.
Now she is more charming, fuller, more attractive and intoxicating.
And his teasing is addictive.
At the Duke of Lu's Mansion, Jin Zhi, who had waited all night and all morning, lay in the dusty woodshed, calling out for her princess.
In the main hall of Chaohui Courtyard, Xie Yunzheng had also been waiting for the whole morning.
He thought that Shen Shurong would not come at night, but after a whole morning, Zishan still hadn’t delivered the letter?
She valued Jinzhi so much that she would faint when she saw her injured. She also often sent her supplements, jewelry, and cloth, and she was reluctant to let Jinzhi go without any supplies.
Now that you know that she has been locked up by you and not given any food, don’t you feel sorry for her?
Until the evening, Chen Shurong was nowhere to be seen. What was even more annoying was that Zishan did not come back either.
Jin Zhi was cold and hungry, but she always believed that the princess would come, perhaps she was delayed by something.
Xie Yunzheng thought so too and just waited.
The next morning, Xie Yunzhao accompanied his father to court again.
"Do you have something to report today?" Duke Lu couldn't help but wonder. He wasn't hanging around the princess anymore?
"Dad, everyone in the court today will listen to my son. No matter who asks for your opinion, just agree with my son."
"Get lost, you little brat, are you the father and am I the father?"
"It doesn't matter who the father is. If you don't listen to me, I will send you home."
"Threatening your father?" The Duke of Lu really wanted to beat his son at this moment.
Xie Yunzhao rode away on his horse: "Dad, let's see who is faster."
"Come back, isn't it embarrassing to run away?"
There was a cloud of gloom in the court. In just a few days, the Third Prince had gathered nearly ten thousand soldiers and was still recruiting them.
They did not leave their fiefdom, but the troops in Lincheng were no longer enough to resist.
At this rate, how can we underestimate it?
I’m afraid if we don’t send troops, we’ll be able to invade Beijing in a few days.
There were more and more voices shouting and killing the demon Taoist and fighting with Xie Yun.
There was a lot of quarreling going on below, with the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction spitting all over the hall. Li Chen could no longer laugh and could only hold his forehead with his hand, feeling a headache.
It was not until the eunuch's shrill voice was heard outside the hall that everyone heard that Xie Yunzhao had come to ask for a meeting again.
It's bound to be bad news when he comes. He caused such a big disaster last time, and Your Majesty let him go for the sake of Ascension Pavilion.
Li Chen didn't even raise his eyelids and just walked in.
Xie Yunzhao entered the hall and knelt down again, saying, "Xie Yunzhao, the second son of the Duke of Lu, pays respect to Your Majesty."
? ? ?
How did he claim to have changed?
Li Chen and the other ministers were at a loss for a moment. One official asked, "General Xie, what do you mean?"
"It's true that I am the commander of the navy, but I am also from the Duke of Lu's Mansion. Now the Third Prince dares to recruit soldiers to rebel in the name of clearing the court of evildoers. As the son of the commander of the Xie family army, how can I tolerate him?"
General Wei sneered: "How dare you say that? Today's situation was caused by Xie Yunzheng from your mansion."
"Yes, it was all caused by Xie Yun."
Xie Yunzhao stood up, his expression extremely serious: "Because of this, it is the duty of the Duke of Lu's Mansion to suppress the Third Prince's uprising."
He bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, I, Xie Yunzhao, the second son of the Duke of Lu, have applied to go to the battle. If this battle is a great victory, I hope Your Majesty will spare my brother's life!"
Duke Lu was stunned by his son. Before making such a big decision, couldn't he discuss it with his father?
This dude actually knew how to protect his brother. The officials were speechless for a while and were somewhat moved.
Li Chen stared at Xie Yunzhao. Would he fight for Xie Yun?
"You just ask me not to kill him?"
"Your Majesty, I will not only build the Ascension Pavilion well, but also quickly suppress the Third Prince. If you are happy, you will not only not kill him, but also restore our family to its former state."
Xie Yunzhao chuckled: "My father and mother have always lived in the Princess's Mansion."
Duke of Lu: "..."
He wanted to swear, when he was dead?
Li Chen knew that he couldn't fight for Xie Yun.
"How many troops do you want and when will you set out?"
