Chapter 269 Frequent In and Out
Capital city.
Emperor Chu Murong once again received good news from Yu Mengqing.
"Hahaha......."
"Your Majesty, what are you so happy about? Could you tell me so that I can be happy too?" Eunuch Huang on the side couldn't help but ask.
It means that the emperor is in a good mood now, otherwise, Eunuch Huang would never dare to ask about this even if he was beaten to death.
It has to be said that Eunuch Huang really understands Chu Murong.
At this time, Chu Murong was planning to find someone to share this happy news with when he heard what Eunuch Huang said.
He immediately raised his hand and handed the letter in his hand to Eunuch Huang.
"Great! God is really watching over us. I never thought that General Yu would meet the King of War on the battlefield." Eunuch Huang sighed after reading the letter.
"This is also the fate between the two of them. As long as their fate is not over, they will naturally meet again." Chu Murong sighed.
"However, General Yu said in the letter that this matter must be kept secret. I wonder if General Yu has any other plans?" Eunuch Lin asked again.
"She didn't explain the reason in the letter, but since she gave such instructions, she must have her reasons. Just do as she says."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Huang said respectfully.
If at the beginning, he was still skeptical about Yu Mengqing leading the army to war.
Now Eunuch Huang was completely impressed.
That’s right. Who would have thought that a woman like Yu Mengqing would have the ability to lead an army of 100,000?
Of course, the most important thing is not to go to war, but to win the battle.
You know, even a man cannot win a battle while leading an army of 100,000.
And the victory was so wonderful.
"Your Majesty, this is the second city we have won. I suspect this news will spread throughout the capital very quickly."
After a while, Eunuch Huang said with a smile again.
Hearing this, Chu Murong nodded without comment.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince requests an audience." He was about to say something when he heard the guards at the door report.
"pass!"
Chu Murong has not yet announced that the third prince's eyes have recovered.
The border is now under control, but the capital is still in turmoil.
Before Yu Mengqing and the others returned to the capital, he did not want to make this matter public for the time being.
"Your Majesty, your son greets you, Father..."
"No need to be so polite!" Chu Murong interrupted Chu Shixiang and said.
"Thank you, Father!"
"What's the matter?" Chu Murong asked directly.
Over the past year, in order to conceal the truth, Chu Shixiang rarely came to see him.
He came here suddenly, I wonder what happened.
"There's movement at the Pingding Marquis' Mansion." Chu Shixiang said bluntly.
Since his eye disease recovered, Chu Shiheng had left some manpower for him before going on the expedition.
Over the past year, he has also been secretly building up his own power.
Of course, all this was allowed by the emperor.
So many times, even if he is "blind", he can still get news from the outside world.
Hearing this, Chu Murong's brows, which had been relaxed, suddenly frowned again.
"What's going on?"
"Father, according to my spies' reports, Zhen Jianting has hidden weapons in Jiufeng Ridge. If nothing unexpected happens, after a while, they may..."
Chu Shixiang didn't say what might happen.
Besides, such words were not suitable for him to say out loud.
But even if he didn't say it, Chu Murong already understood what he meant.
"Where is the prince? Does he know about this?" Chu Murong finally asked this question.
Although he already knew the answer, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.
You know, Crown Prince Chu Shiwei is his first son.
He had also trained him with great care.
It can be said that among so many sons, Chu Shiwei is indeed his most beloved child.
Hearing this, Chu Shixiang did not hide anything and said bluntly: "The prince has been going in and out there frequently recently."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Yangxin Palace suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
That’s right. Just saying this would shatter Chu Murong’s last bit of hope.
He'd given him so many chances over the years.
But he didn't cherish it, instead it got worse.
The reason for this is nothing more than relying on the power of the queen.
Fortunately, Yu Mengqing left behind tens of thousands of soldiers and horses when she went to war, plus the two major families, the Guo Mansion and the Xue Hou Mansion.
It is not difficult to stop the Pingding Marquis Mansion.
Of course, this also happened before Yu Mengqing went on the expedition.
After Yu Mengqing went to war, the small moves to pacify the Marquis' Mansion never stopped.
Thinking of this, Chu Murong immediately looked at Eunuch Huang and said, "Pen and ink are at your service!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Huang responded readily.
Eunuch Huang knew without a doubt that this letter must have been written to Yu Mengqing.
Fortunately, God has mercy on Chu Shiheng and he came back.
In this way, it would be even more difficult for Pingding Hou Mansion to rebel.
I guess this is probably the reason why Yu Mengqing asked her to keep it secret.
Pingding Marquis Mansion.
"Prince, once we take action, there will be no turning back. You must think it over carefully," said Zhen Jianting.
He had fought on the battlefield for many years when he was young, so Zhen Jianting felt that he needed to be cautious about forcing the emperor to abdicate.
The most important thing is that he always felt that this matter was not that simple.
"Dad, you've been overthinking it. Now is the perfect time for us to force him to step down."
Before Crown Prince Chu Shixiang could speak, Queen Zhen Bie'e couldn't wait to speak.
Originally, he didn't want to act so quickly, but ever since Yu Mengqing gave birth to two sons, this idea has always been lingering in Zhen Bie'e's mind.
Chu Murong currently has no other candidate except his son Chu Shiwei.
But Zhen Bie'e knew that Chu Murong had originally intended to give this position to Chu Shiheng.
"Wait a little longer, Yu Mengqing is not a simple woman." Zhen Jianting said again.
"Grandfather, if we wait any longer, she will return to the capital. If we take action then, we will have no chance." Chu Shiwei said anxiously.
They have been waiting for this day for a year.
It turns out that their plan was to wait until they had enough strength.
But no one expected that Yu Mengqing would be so powerful and win two cities in a row.
This is a complete slap in their faces.
It was also at this time that they realized that Yu Mengqing's ability was no less than Chu Shiheng's.
Even much taller than Chu Shiheng.
I have to say, Chu Murong is really lucky.
Chu Shiheng left, and Yu Mengqing came.
The couple are basically their nemesis and their ghosts will never go away.
In the past, it was Chu Shiheng who blocked his plan, but now it has become Yu Mengqing.
