Chapter 339: Sadomasochism (Part 44)
Endure? I don't want to endure it anymore!
Well, don’t endure it anymore!
When Emperor Qing thought of the Ninth Prince fighting bravely on the border and the good news in the memorial, he became extremely excited.
"Add more troops! I want to send more men to Dong Lang!"
If 30,000 troops were not enough, then 50,000 or 100,000 would do! As long as he could contain the main force of the Yu Dynasty, Emperor Qing could take the opportunity to conquer the Feng Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Over the past year or so, Emperor Qing has carefully explored and captured several cities.
The territory of Feng Dynasty was gradually eroded by Qing Dynasty.
Now all Emperor Qing needs is an opportunity to attack the capital of Feng Dynasty.
And his eldest son, the Ninth Prince, personally brought the "opportunity" up.
How could Emperor Qing, who had been working hard for more than a decade, miss this opportunity? "In Xirong, there is the Huo family. The Huo family has plenty of troops, and Jiulang is the Huo family's son-in-law. They should support us."
After the joy, Emperor Qing calmed down.
He started to use the tactics of restraint and checks and balances again.
The Huo family's 200,000 border troops have always been a thorn in his heart.
This time, it is an excellent opportunity.
Let the Huo family support Jiulang, not only can they have sufficient troops to contain the main force of the Yu Dynasty cavalry, but also can consume both sides! When the war is over, both the Huo family and Jiulang will suffer losses.
By then——
There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Emperor Qing's eyes.
…
After planning everything, Emperor Qing began to act.
"The emperor leads the army in person?"
Emperor Qing dropped a huge bomb in the court.
"I will personally lead the army to march south."
Emperor Qing’s attitude was very firm.
He was not seeking opinions from the court officials, but rather stating his own decision!
In the court, not only would the court officials not agree easily, even the eldest prince and the second prince looked disapproving.
"Your Majesty, you are of noble status, how can you take risks so easily?"
"Yes, yes, but it's just Feng Chao. I am willing to go to war on behalf of my father and king!"
"...Your son invites you to fight!"
They knelt on the ground in a rush, perhaps for the sake of the justice of the court or for their own interests, and they all tried their best to persuade him.
The eldest prince and the second prince even volunteered to fight.
Everyone knows that a decisive battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Feng Dynasty is inevitable.
The turbulent political situation in the Feng Dynasty was the best time to launch an expedition to the south.
If we can capture the capital of Feng Dynasty and capture the royal family of Feng Dynasty, it will be a great military achievement.
For a general, it means being able to be immediately granted a title of nobility and have his name recorded in history; for a prince, it is a military achievement that is enough to make him the heir!
Emperor Qing: ...Haha, you can all think of it, why can't I think of it? What are you thinking about? Don't I want to be a wise ruler in a prosperous era?
"Don't say anything, I have made up my mind!"
He was going to lead the army in person! Of course, the actions of the eldest prince, the second prince and other adult princes still made Emperor Qing alert.
Emperor Qing himself is a master at playing power games and has long been accustomed to judging others by his own standards.
Therefore, Emperor Qing wanted to go to war, but he also had to be on guard against the eldest prince and others taking the opportunity to cause chaos.
Emperor Qing found a random excuse and lashed out at several people in one breath.
The eldest prince was under house arrest and locked up in the palace.
The second prince was sent to inspect river affairs and was trapped on the riverbank.
The Third Prince...
Anyway, Emperor Qing clipped the wings of several princes, leaving them no chance to stage a coup.
Emperor Qing didn't keep anyone around him either.
What a joke! What if that rebellious son secretly takes action to kill his father and the king? Wouldn’t all the troops I brought with me fall into his hands?
Emperor Qing thought of all the possibilities.
Even for the Ninth Prince who was far away in Xizhou, Emperor Qing had a backup plan to prevent him from gathering his own troops and coming back from the northwest while the capital was short of troops!
"My beloved, I am really worried about Yuan Shi and the others. Sigh, it is better not to talk about them!"
Emperor Qing once again put on an affectionate look, and reluctantly said to Concubine Dong: "Fortunately, although you look weak, you have been fine."
Emperor Qing's words were not entirely against his will.
Emperor Qing must be wondering himself, it has been almost two years and Concubine Dong has been bedridden.
The blood-stained handkerchiefs would probably pile up into a mountain, and the medicine he took was more than the food he ate.
But people just live strong.
She gets sick several times a year, and every time I think she won't make it, but in the blink of an eye, she can eat while coughing again.
As for people, as long as they can eat, they can live!
As time went on and this happened many times, Emperor Qing would have a ridiculous feeling: With Concubine Dong's health, she would probably still be able to hold on even if I died.
Even so, don't lie in the house all the time.
A favored concubine should act like a favored concubine.
Therefore, Emperor Qing not only led the army in person despite everyone's opposition, but he also "blinded by lust" and brought Concubine Dong along as well.
Concubine Dong: ...There is a word MMP, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
Although she cursed someone secretly, Concubine Dong was still secretly happy.
Who said I can only be a hostage? Haha, if you underestimate a woman, the consequences will be very tragic!
Concubine Dong concealed her true emotions and said with a touched face: "Your Majesty, you are indeed the best person in the world to me."
"Don't worry, I will serve you well and will never cause you any trouble!"
Concubine Dong was like a little woman in love, and her husband was absolutely her god.
She looked as if saying: Don't just let me go to the battlefield with the army, I would be willing to die even if it means that I die.
Seeing the sincere and heartfelt Concubine Dong, Emperor Qing's few remaining consciences were trembling -
Alas, this silly woman! If I could, I would definitely protect you! Dong Lang, for your mother, for the sake of the relationship between me and your mother, please don't do anything reckless!
Of course, Gu Qingcheng would not act rashly. After receiving the letter secretly sent by Concubine Dong, she made a decision.
Perhaps for Emperor Qing, bringing Concubine Dong with him was to intimidate and threaten the Ninth Prince.
But for Concubine Dong and her son, following the emperor in the war was a great opportunity!
for example--
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Emperor Qing's army arrived at the river smoothly.
As long as we cross this river, we can attack the heartland of Feng Dynasty.
As long as the capital of Feng Dynasty is occupied, the huge Feng Dynasty will be incorporated into the territory of Qing Dynasty.
Emperor Qing stood on horseback by the river, looking at the rolling waves, full of confidence and satisfaction! He raised his whip, with the momentum of commanding the whole country.
Unfortunately, Emperor Qing’s “luck” was not very good. Just when the army was about to launch a general attack, he suddenly fell ill.
Emperor Qing was lying on the hospital bed, his eyes full of resentment——
One step! Just one step left!
He would be able to conquer Feng Dynasty and achieve unprecedented feats.
"Your Majesty! Don't worry! Your health is important."
"Illness comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. Let's take care of ourselves slowly and get our bodies back in good shape first!"
Concubine Dong is worthy of being Emperor Qing’s favorite. Although she herself is in poor health, she still forces herself to serve Emperor Qing without fear of being infected.
People are particularly vulnerable when they are sick.
The emperor is also a human being, so he is naturally not immune to worldly practices.
Emperor Qing, who was tortured by illness, had a splitting headache and felt uneasy and fearful about the unknown.
Concubine Dong's gentle words and thoughtful service appeased the emperor to the greatest extent.
“You!”
Emperor Qing was deeply moved as he looked at Concubine Dong's face, which was still stunningly beautiful despite her frailty.
A stunning glimpse in youth, love and calculations in youth... More than ten years have passed, and Emperor Qing is about to enter the age of knowing the destiny. He clearly feels that he is getting older.
And the woman in front of me seems to have always been beautiful.
She seemed to have always been so sincere to herself.
However, the emperor is the emperor.
Tenderness, fragility, etc., are only fleeting.
Emperor Qing's eyes flickered, and he sighed softly, "I'm sorry for having wronged you over the years!"
"My love and care for you is a favor, but it also brings you a lot of trouble."
"Fortunately, you are a kind person and never care about these things."
"And our Dong Lang is also a good boy!"
"...I'm afraid it won't work! While I'm still fine, I might as well call Dong Lang over."
Emperor Qing's words clearly implied that he wanted to "pass the throne to the Ninth Prince."
Even though Concubine Dong had been on guard, she couldn't help but feel her heart beating faster when she heard such an obvious hint.
She almost couldn't control herself and nodded in approval.
But Concubine Dong still held back.
She raised her head, her pupils filled with the reflection of Emperor Qing, "No! Your Majesty, please don't say such things."
"You'll be fine! You're the Son of Heaven! God is protecting you. You're just slightly unwell and you'll recover soon."
"...Donglang is a filial child. If you ask him to go to the northwest to redeem himself, he will stay in the northwest."
As Concubine Dong spoke, her eyes turned red.
Big tears fell like pearls.
She bit her lips hard, like a foolish little woman, "Your Majesty, you will be fine! If anything happens to you, I, I will not live alone!"
As she spoke, Concubine Dong spread out her palm, revealing a small bottle of medicine. "This is poison wine. I will accompany you!"
Emperor Qing was stunned. He really didn't expect that Concubine Dong loved him so deeply.
"You, you - where's Dong Lang? What about Dong Lang?"
Concubine Dong is a mother, and it is said that a mother is strong.
It was his mother, Empress Dowager Yuan, who really cared about her mother's family.
However, between her mother's family and her own son, Empress Dowager Yuan chose the latter.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many women other than the Yuan clan giving birth to sons in the Qing Dynasty’s harem.
But Concubine Dong only wanted to live and die with him, and she didn't even want her son!
"Dong Lang is already an adult, and he still has Huo Shi by his side. Even without me, he will be fine!"
"But I only have you!"
"Everyone outside called me a witch concubine, and some even came to sow discord, saying that His Majesty didn't love me and just wanted to use me!"
"They are not me, so how can they know my thoughts? Even if His Majesty uses me, so what? I love His Majesty!"
At this moment, Concubine Dong was definitely possessed by Chu Zhao.
It's no exaggeration to say that he has a king-level love brain. "There are so many beautiful women in the world, why does Your Majesty only use me?"
Concubine Dong smiled contentedly, "Your Majesty, I am still special to you! Is that right or not?"
Emperor Qing: ...Look at you, you have made me incompetent!
