Almost at the same time that the Gu family returned home, the Emperor received Yan Mo's letter.
The emperor was wondering which concubine to visit tonight when an urgent report arrived. His eyes lit up, and he said to Eunuch Fu, "I'll stay here tonight."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Fu understood what he meant and went to make the arrangements.
The emperor, who was initially delighted that the urgent report had resolved his inner conflict, lost all joy upon reading the contents of the letter.
"Southern Frontier! They are simply treacherous! Summon the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War to see me immediately!" After reading this, the Emperor ordered the messenger to go and fetch them.
After the person left, he turned to the last page of the letter.
At this moment, Grandpa Fu also came in.
"Ah Fu, you said that Nian Nian, Xin Xin, and Si Si are all together, but why isn't Hui Hui here? Are those three sisters isolating their eldest sister?" the Emperor asked.
Grandpa Fu: "?"
This old servant has no idea what happened!
"That kid Lu Zheng has some skill, actually giving Yan Mo such a suggestion. It's a pity, a pity he had to procure grain for me, otherwise I would definitely send him to fight in the southern border!" the emperor said again.
Grandpa Fu: "?"
The emperor started talking to himself again.
"Afu, go and have someone inform Consort Lin that I'm going to her place tonight! Tell her to wait!" The emperor suddenly wanted to see his beloved consort and talk about how she was helping her elder sister from her maternal family get rid of Lu Zheng.
"Yes!" Fu Gonggong, who had no idea what had happened, went down to give instructions again.
The emperor looked at the names of the three daughters of the Gu family on the letter, and then glanced at the name Zhou Yuan.
He stroked his chin, frowning, and said, "Could it be that Lu Zheng has taken a fancy to the Gu family's daughter? Huihui is too cold, and she's two years older than him. Niannian is about his age, but I'm the one I'm planning to match with Xue Xiao'er! Xinxin and Sisi are five and six years younger than him, respectively. If he's taken a fancy to someone his age, then this brat is really something else!"
"That doesn't make sense! This kid has a blood feud to carry. If he wants to get married, he'll have to cause trouble until his enemies are all gone. That would take at least four or five years, by which time Xin Xin and Si Si will be all grown up!"
"Hey! What a scoundrel! He's making people remember him at such a young age! Hmm, I'll write him a letter to scare him a bit and see if he really has his eye on the Gu family's daughter!"
With that thought in mind, the emperor took out paper and pen again and began to write a letter to Lu Zheng.
When the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War arrived, the Emperor had just finished writing his letter, and he reverted to his former aloof and majestic self.
"I want to attack the southern border! The Ministry of Revenue, prepare sufficient grain and provisions; the Ministry of War, prepare sufficient troops!" The emperor said directly, looking at the two old men below.
The Minister of Revenue and the Minister of War were both dumbfounded. They were woken up in the middle of the night and summoned to the palace just for this matter.
Can't I say it during tomorrow's morning court session?
Even if we adjust it for you now, you won't be able to use it!
"Your Majesty, why the sudden decision to attack the Southern Frontier?" the Minister of War asked.
The emperor simply threw Yan Mo's memorial away.
The two old men huddled together to read it, growing increasingly alarmed. If General Yan's statement was true, then the Great Zhou Dynasty...
"Your Majesty, could it be that General Yan is exaggerating?" the Minister of Revenue asked boldly.
"Nonsense! Is Yan Mo that kind of person? If you don't believe me, go back and pack your things, and come with me to see for yourself!" The emperor stared at the Minister of Revenue, not knowing why he had said those words.
Am I planning to go on an incognito visit again?
