Chapter 286 Preparing for the Battle of Yuhun
"It's really troublesome to get a child married, there are three books and six ceremonies, as well as the betrothal gifts and the betrothal gifts."
"Qian'er is increasingly not at home now. Whenever he has free time, he goes to Wanyuan."
"Luckily, I have someone to keep me company. If I were really an old lady who stayed by my son's side, I would have been pissed off to death by this unfilial son I raised for my daughter-in-law."
No matter what Bei Jingchu guessed in his heart, he did not show any unnecessary expression on his face.
So, is there anything hidden beneath Aunt Xianning's warm and loving appearance?
She smiled and said, "Cousin, go find some wine, you'll be more comfortable."
"Don't think that my aunt complains. If he really sticks to you, you will still find it annoying."
After saying that, he went into Yu's study and sat down.
Aye's habit has always been to discuss with his close ministers first, and then bring it up at the court meeting if there is no problem.
Unless he has already made up his mind and is determined to do what he wants, there is no point in opposing him.
"A few years ago, the young emperor ascended the throne, and the empress dowager came to court."
"I received news these days that their regents and the young emperor are at odds, and Yuhun is in chaos."
"After the last war, I have rested for four years. Taking this opportunity, I intend to send troops to Yuhun. Do you have any objections?"
Xu Lanqi replied: "Dai Viet's treasury is now full, talented people have emerged, weapons and soldiers are all excellent, everything is ready, and we have no reason to dissuade Your Majesty."
"Besides, the opportunity cannot be missed."
No one else said anything, apparently they had nothing to add, and Bei Jingchu also felt there was nothing to say.
Kill him while he's ill.
Princess Xianning disagreed: "Now that Dai Viet is strong, marching is a waste of manpower and money."
"The people have only been prosperous for a few years. We attacked Tunning because they invaded our territory first."
"Yuhun only plundered a few places on the border, and became more restrained after Tuning was destroyed."
"Your Majesty, how about waiting for Dai Viet to accumulate some strength?"
The emperor glanced sideways.
"Xian Ning, time is running out, and you are not the type to think ahead or behind."
"How long do we have to wait? Tomorrow after tomorrow, next year after next year?"
Bei Lunwan lowered his head, "Your Majesty is wise."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Bei Heng began to make arrangements again: "The Crown Prince performed well last time, so you should still come this time. Inform all officials at the court tomorrow morning."
This time no one objected.
When leaving the palace, Princess Xianning did not chat with anyone else. She walked straight to the palace gate and got on the carriage.
Just as she urged the coachman to go back, Bei Jingchu's voice was heard outside: "Don't worry, sister. I want to visit you again. Are you welcome?"
After saying this, there was no answer from the carriage.
After a few moments, a smiling face appeared from the open car window.
"I am naturally honored that the prince is coming to my humble home."
"But His Majesty has given you an important task. Why are you running around instead of staying in the East Palace to prepare for it? Aren't you afraid of failure?"
Bei Jingchu gave the reason: "Dai Yue has sent troops several times in the past, and my cousin has served as the military advisor every time."
"I'll go back with you and have a chat with my cousin."
The window was closed, and after a few breaths, a muffled voice came from inside the carriage: "My carriage is small, and I am sorry to have you ride with the prince."
"You can come by car. I will ask Qin'er to treat you well."
The large and luxurious carriage was driven away by the coachman.
Bei Jingchu was too lazy to take the carriage, so he asked someone to prepare a horse and rode to Princess Xianning's mansion.
Bei Qin welcomed her into the study, but as soon as the door was closed, he lost his respect for his subordinate and complained directly, "You've been here too often these past two days. There's really nothing going on here."
