Chapter 506: Brothers
Jiuwei Pass
In the meeting hall, Mo Xiao walked in, "Your Majesty, the spy should have gone back."
He Yanli responded calmly, and Mo Xiao said, "Your Highness, why did you send the spy back? So many spies haven't returned yet. The prince is anxious and will definitely speed up the process and come here."
When he sees that the prince is already at Jiuwei Pass, won't he be so angry that he will lose his composure?
He Yanli pushed down a flag on the sand table. "When we arrived at the gate of Jiuwei Pass, we found out that this would really make him angry. But now he knows in advance that he will definitely retreat back to Lancheng. This night will make him extremely exhausted."
I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep that night.
With the same ending, wouldn't it be fun to make him angry for one more night?
Not to mention, the army's advance and retreat would greatly reduce the morale of the soldiers.
"Your Majesty, the counselors also know that the prince's army has retreated back to Lancheng, and they are waiting outside the hall for Your Majesty to summon them."
He Yanli said: "Let them in."
"yes."
"Is she asleep?"
Mo Xiao knew who he was talking about. The prince didn't want to take the princess with him. After all, the front line was still somewhat dangerous. For safety reasons, it would be safer to stay with Yue Ling.
But the princess insisted on coming along. The prince was always good at refusing, but when she acted coquettishly, he agreed without anyone noticing, as if his brain was borrowed.
Mo Xiao: "The light over there is off, the princess must be asleep."
He Yanli nodded slightly, "She probably won't be able to sleep well in another place, go light some calming incense."
Mo Xiao nodded and walked out.
Soon, the royal advisers and Bei Ming officials entered the meeting hall.
"The prince is leading a large army and is approaching, but I think this battle is optional. If we can send someone to assassinate them, it will be more effective."
"That makes sense. If it were that easy, we could avoid fighting. A civil war in Dayu would only do harm to Dayu, but assassination is easier said than done."
"The people around the prince are all assassins. It is impossible to find a chance to assassinate them. Moreover, the prince has just been tricked by the prince. His surroundings must be like an iron barrel with no gaps."
"In the end, we still have to fight. Our prince fought for the country and risked his life. People say that the God of War fights and wins every battle, but what do they know about the dangers? The prince lives a life of luxury in the capital, so why should he become the new emperor? I think we have to fight!"
"The spies reported that he led an army of 200,000. We have 100,000 Beiming troops stationed at Beiming and 200,000 at Jiuwei Pass. If we were to fight, we would never be evenly matched with them."
He Yanli listened to what these people said, "This king does not want to start a war directly."
Someone spoke up: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince will never give up the throne easily. You are also of royal blood, and it is really unfair to give up the throne like this! We are willing to sacrifice our lives for Your Highness!"
He Yanli stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the sand table. "As Zhang Shi said, this war is not necessary. Xiling and other countries are eyeing us covetously. If we go straight into a civil war, both sides will suffer heavy losses, and Dayu will even cut off its own arm. In the long run, the gains will not outweigh the losses."
Even if he wins, his military strength will be weakened when he ascends the throne, and other countries will take the opportunity to grow stronger.
For Dayu, it is best not to fight.
"My king, I want to meet Tsuru Chiyu before the battle begins."
At that time, in the meeting hall of the Lancheng prefect, He Zhiyu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moonlight outside, interrupting the chaotic voices in the meeting hall.
"I want to meet He Yanli before the war. It is not necessary to go to war directly. A civil war in Dayu will only bring tangible benefits to outsiders, but will not bring any benefits to Dayu."
"If the peace talks fail, I will kill the traitors even if it means risking civil war."
He will never give up the throne of the emperor!
At that time, He Yanli thought the same.
He is determined to gain the position of Queen Mother and the throne of Emperor!
The people from Jiuwei Pass and Lancheng each set out with secret letters. As luck would have it, they met halfway before dawn.
They took each other's secret letters and went back.
The time for the peace talks between the two armies was set for two days later.
When Qiao Wanyan woke up, she heard about this.
Zi Yuan scooped a bowl of sweet soup for her, "Princess, what do you think the peace talks will lead to? But the late emperor is dead, and no matter who ascends the throne, they will not send you to marry. This way, I will be happy!"
Lu Jinye leaned against the door, "Perhaps the peace talks fail, and one of the parties gets so angry that it sends your princess to marry, and no one will be completely destroyed?"
This is also good, no matter where she goes, I will follow her.
Both brothers of the He family are possessive, and Chen Che should be slightly inferior to them.
Qiao Wanyan threw the sweet soup in her hand directly at him, "Maybe I will kill you and destroy you completely? You stupid dog, can't you expect a little bit of good from me?!"
Lu Jinye dodged and replied slowly, "I'm already a stupid dog, how can you expect me to be smart?"
Qiao Wanyan was choked for a moment. Meeting someone who had no bottom line towards her, she felt uncomfortable even if she scolded him. Instead, it would make the other person happy.
"Are you angry?" Lu Jinye raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to hit me?"
Qiao Wanyan looked at his expectant expression with disgust and cursed, "Go away."
Delayed her breakfast.
Zi Yuan stepped forward and closed the door. "Princess, don't be angry. None of these people can give you the same peace of mind as I do!"
Qiao Wanyan said: "That's true, our Ziyuan is still the best. She likes the princess and Dazhuzi, and there is nothing else in her eyes."
Zi Yuan patted her chest and said, "Big Elbow's status is behind the Princess. The Princess is always number one!"
Qiao Wanyan was amused by her naive appearance, "When we return to Beijing in the future, I will have someone stew pork elbow for you every day!"
Ziyuan's eyes lit up instantly!
"Go and see if King Jing is free now. I have something to tell him."
Zi Yuan nodded, and half an incense stick of time later, He Yanli came over.
"What do you want to see me for?" He Yanli looked her up and down. "You are dressed so simply. Did you not bring any clothes or jewelry with you when you left Yue Ling?"
Qiao Wanyan stroked her temples and said, "We're about to go to war. If I dress up gorgeously beside the prince, won't I be called a beauty who brings disaster?"
He Yanli didn't care, "How can a beauty bring disaster? What does it have to do with a woman like you whether there will be a war? If anyone says you are a disaster, I will make him get into trouble."
Qiao Wanyan pulled the handkerchief and smiled, "The prince is so good to me."
He Yanli sneered, "Don't give me that. Just tell me what you want to say. The more you beat around the bush, the more uneasy I feel."
"I want to go with you in two days."
He Yanli's smile suddenly disappeared, "No."
Qiao Wanyan pulled his sleeve and swung, "Okay, that's fine. You guys won't fight that day, and my going won't get in the way, so why not?"
