"Report, urgent, eight hundred miles away, the Yu people have invaded the border and captured three cities in a row..."
The court was in an uproar.
Over the years, it has been common for the Yu people to harass the border, but Dajing has never suffered any loss and has always fought back fiercely.
The Yu people were driven away.
Now that Dajing has a strong army and powerful horses, how could the Yu people possibly capture three cities in a row?
"What's going on? What's the point of guarding the border? He actually let the Yu people capture three cities in a row."
Many generals in the court were angry.
The civil officials were also very angry at this time, and some even directly criticized the military generals.
"Quiet"
Emperor Yanxing was furious and said, "Send the letter up."
Soon the letter was presented to the emperor, who was immediately furious.
Deputy General Jiang Liangji rebelled and killed General Mu Rong.
All the civil and military officials changed color immediately after hearing this.
Jiang Liangji was Mu Rong's son-in-law, so why did he betray him?
Soon, more urgent intelligence from the border came in.
The main reason why Jiang Liangji and Mu Rong fell out was because of a woman.
Jiang Liangji was a capable man promoted by Mu Rong, and Mu Rong even married his daughter to Jiang Liangji.
Everything was fine originally, but Jiang Liangji saved a beauty and wanted to take her as a concubine, even going so far as to turn against his wife Mu.
The couple has been in love for many years, but they don't even have a concubine in the backyard.
Moreover, when Jiang Liangji married Mu, he said frankly that he would never take a concubine, but now he regrets it.
Mu was confident enough because she was the daughter of a great general and had given birth to four sons for Jiang Liangji, so she sent the man away decisively.
She also felt that Jiang Liangji would not do anything to her.
However, she didn't expect that the beauty would become the concubine of her father, General Mu Rong.
Naturally, Mu was not happy about this. The woman her husband had slept with became her father's concubine, causing trouble for her mother. Mu only regretted that she had not killed this beauty.
Jiang Liangji hated her even more, especially when he learned that the beauty was pregnant and had a miscarriage caused by Mu. He hated her so much.
He didn't lose his temper on the spot, so Mu thought the matter was over.
However, she did not expect that Jiang Liangji would disregard the love between husband and wife for so many years and his four sons, and actually killed her father and colluded with the Yu people to rebel.
The civil and military officials in the court looked at the intelligence information and almost vomited blood.
Just this one beauty trap caused the relationship between Mu Rong and Jiang Liangji, the father-in-law and son-in-law, to turn against each other.
"Is Jiang Liangji stupid? Has he never seen a woman?"
"I once said that Mu Rong, this old bastard, would die in a woman's belly sooner or later. I actually came true."
…
In this era, it is not a bad thing for a man to be lustful. That beauty of unknown origin is obviously a honey trap used by others.
But Mu Rong and Jiang Liangji both lost their souls.
However, Mu Rong did not know that this was his son-in-law's favorite concubine. He happily accepted the beauty given to him by his subordinates.
It is still unknown whether the beauty had a real miscarriage or a false one, and whose child she is pregnant with.
Jiang Liangji, however, felt that the child was his own and was miscarried by his wife, Mrs. Mu.
He hated his father-in-law Mu Rong and his wife.
Emperor Yanxing sent troops and selected generals, and asked the Ministry of Revenue to prepare grass and food. Only after everything was arranged did he come to Fuhua Palace.
He was still furious and couldn't swallow his anger.
"It's foolish, too foolish. Letting such people guard the border is a disaster for Dajing and the people living at the border."
Emperor Yanxing sat down and even after drinking three bowls of tea, his anger did not subside.
Mu Rong is an old general. He has been guarding the border since the time when the Empress Dowager was deposed and Prime Minister Jiang was regent.
Although Emperor Yanxing dealt with the deposed Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Jiang's party, Mu Rong had been guarding the border well, and Emperor Yanxing would not touch Mu Rong.
But I didn't expect something like this to happen.
Bei Lingyao asked, "Is Jiang Liangji related to the former Prime Minister Jiang?"
Emperor Yanxing paused, "Probably not. Jiang Liangji was a young man from a mountain village who joined the army. He later performed well and made great contributions. He was noticed by Mu Rong, who promoted him to deputy general and married his daughter to him."
At this point, Emperor Yanxing said, "Regardless of whether they are related or not, Jiang Liangji has already rebelled, and I will definitely execute his entire family."
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. Dajing has a strong army and will definitely defeat Jiang Liangji and the Yu people, put down the rebellion, and reclaim the three cities."
Emperor Yanxing sighed, "The news reports that the Yu people have captured three cities in a row, but now we don't know how many more cities they have captured. I just hope that the garrisons in various places will do their best."
Emperor Yanxing, with a lot on his mind, sat for a while and then returned to Taiji Palace.
However, he did not expect that the war would not go smoothly. The Yu people were not a big deal, but Jiang Liangji was indeed a fierce general. Mu Rong also trained this son-in-law as his heir.
Jiang Liangji joined forces with the Yu people and captured six cities in a short period of time.
"I have decided to lead the army in person to boost morale."
Emperor Yanxing considered for a long time and made a decision.
He ascended the throne at the age of three and has always been a puppet emperor. He has been in power in recent years, but it has not changed other people's inherent impression of him.
Perhaps in the eyes of many of his subjects, he was still a cowardly little emperor.
Without the Empress Dowager and Prime Minister Jiang, he might not be able to hold on to the throne.
"Your Majesty, please think twice"
Bei Lingyao advised, "If the emperor leaves, who will be the regent? What if the princes become interested?"
Emperor Yanxing was also worried about this. "For Jiang Liangji and the Yu people to be so successful, there must be many people behind the scenes pushing them. Maybe my brothers are also fanning the flames."
Speaking of this, Emperor Yanxing's expression became even uglier.
No matter how brothers fight, when facing external enemies, they should unite to face the enemy.
As long as these brothers behaved themselves, Emperor Yanxing never thought of taking action against them.
He had no hatred towards them.
National hatred and family feuds, if these are the issues, the brothers cannot distinguish the priorities.
That is not worthy of being a royal descendant.
Although Emperor Yanxing wanted to lead the army in person, he was still worried about the capital.
Bei Lingyao was of humble origin, had no support from her maternal family in the court, and the crown prince was young, so even if Emperor Yanxing wanted to lead the army in person, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
But the situation is not good.
Or maybe the vassal kings didn't take the Yu people seriously and just wanted to create chaos, giving them an opportunity to take advantage.
They even wanted to instigate Emperor Yanxing to lead the army in person, so that if anything unexpected happened, they would be able to come to the rescue.
He even led his troops north to capture the capital.
As for Bei Lingyao and several children in the palace, these princes did not take them seriously.
As long as Emperor Yanxing died, there would be nothing but orphans and widows left.
Therefore, some uprisings occurred in various places.
"I will lead the army in person."
Emperor Yanxing practiced riding and shooting martial arts diligently every day, and often read military books. It can be seen that he also yearned for the heroic dream of fighting on the battlefield.
If I hadn't been so concerned, I would have rushed to the battlefield long ago.
Now, I have to go.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. This concubine and the child will be fine."
Bei Lingyao originally thought that there was no room for her to display her talents in this world. She also thought that there was Emperor Yanxing in the previous dynasty, and she could just stay in the harem to raise children and practice.
Unexpectedly, she had another chance to perform.
