Chapter 321 Another Victory
Of course, they naturally knew what Chu Shiwei was worried about.
But if they were to take action now, their conditions simply wouldn't allow it.
First of all, their weapons have not been manufactured yet.
Secondly, their troops were unable to resist the Guo and Xue families.
Considering the troops in Chu Murong's hands, their chances of winning are basically slim.
Of course, they also knew that once Yu Mengqing came back, it would be even more difficult for them to find an opportunity to take action.
It’s just that Zhen Jianting went on expeditions frequently when he was young, so he was very confident about this.
As long as they take action when Yu Mengqing returns, their hope will be greatly increased.
You know, they are now manufacturing weapons in Jiufengling.
Moreover, they have been secretly recruiting soldiers during this period of time.
A lot can change in a year.
Zhen Jianting is still very confident about this.
Apart from anything else, in the past year, Yu Mengqing has not been openly recruiting troops.
It would be much easier for him to pacify the Marquis's mansion and recruit soldiers.
But the most critical problem now is that they don’t know how many troops Chu Murong and his men have.
The imperial palace.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, we have another good news..." Eunuch Huang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Chu Murong laughed even more.
I didn't expect that Yu Mengqing, a woman, could do something that most men today can't do.
She is probably the only one from ancient times to the present who has captured two cities in a row, right?
But as if he had thought of something, Chu Murong's face became solemn again.
Seeing this, Eunuch Huang immediately asked: "Your Majesty, is it over there on the border..."
"Read it yourself!" Chu Murong interrupted Eunuch Huang and handed him the letter.
Eunuch Huang has served him for many years and can be said to be one of the few people he can trust.
Seeing this, Eunuch Huang did not hesitate to take the letter with both hands and began to read it.
"This...this Yu Mengqing is too bold, isn't she?" After reading the letter, Eunuch Huang asked in disbelief.
Yu Mengqing simply gave a brief summary of what happened on the battlefield in the letter.
It seemed that her winning the two cities was not particularly joyful, but it was the following words that really surprised the two of them.
Because Yu Mengqing said in the letter that she wanted Manjing Kingdom to become a vassal state of their Great Xia Kingdom.
How is this possible?
"Do you think so too?" Chu Murong asked.
Hearing the tone, Eunuch Huang was unsure for a moment. What exactly did the emperor mean?
Do you agree?
Still don't agree?
It is said that the emperor's heart is hard to guess. Even though he has been with the emperor for so many years, he still cannot guess what the emperor is thinking.
In fact, not only could Eunuch Huang not guess it, even Chu Murong himself didn't know whether he agreed or not.
When he agreed to let Yu Mengqing lead the army in the name of General Yu, he never thought that she would win.
But in fact, she won.
And won so beautifully.
Even Chu Murong himself did not expect this.
Now that all the cities have been recovered, he is very satisfied.
But in the letter just now, Yu Mengqing told him that what she wanted was not to take back the city, but to conquer the Manjing Kingdom and eliminate the future troubles forever.
When Chu Murong first saw the contents of the letter, he himself found it unbelievable.
But following this series of thoughts, he slowly seemed to feel that this was indeed what Yu Mengqing could say.
He didn't know why, but he even had a feeling that he could do it.
Thinking of this, Chu Murong immediately said, "Let's go to Chenggan Palace!"
Chenggan Hall is the palace of the third prince Chu Shixiang.
"Your Majesty, you..." After thinking for a while, Eunuch Huang hesitated and did not say anything.
In the eyes of outsiders, the third prince has never been favored, and the emperor rarely visits his Chenggan Hall.
It's just that I'm afraid of attracting the attention of outsiders.
You know, General Yu had already cured the third prince's eye disease before he went on the expedition.
The reason why it was not announced was simply to protect the third prince.
And the emperor suddenly went to Chenggan Hall with such fanfare. Isn't he afraid of arousing suspicion?
How could Chu Murong not know what Eunuch Huang was thinking?
"I haven't seen the Third Prince for a long time. Now that I've received good news from the border, I'm in a good mood, so I went to visit him."
Hearing this, Eunuch Huang immediately reacted and quickly agreed loudly: "Your Majesty is right."
Then he shouted loudly: "Go to Chenggan Palace!"
Compared to doing it secretly, this way of doing it openly will not arouse suspicion.
Chenggan Hall.
Chu Shixiang was looking at the book in his hand.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is still a blind man.
But in Chenggan Hall, he is just a normal person.
Over the past year, no one outside knew that he had actually become a normal person.
The vision is even much better than that of normal people.
"Xiang'er, you're disobedient again, aren't you?"
"Mother, I haven't watched it for less than two quarters of an hour." Chu Shixiang said helplessly.
"That won't work either. Didn't your cousin-in-law tell you a long time ago that you shouldn't overuse your eyes for the time being?" Concubine Yu couldn't help but say.
"Mother, my cousin said that when I had just recovered from my eye disease. It has been a year now." Chu Shixiang said helplessly.
After saying this, seeing that she wanted to say something else, Chu Shixiang quickly put down the book in his hand and continued:
"I'm not feeling well now. I'm going to do eye exercises right away, okay?"
After saying that, he actually put down the book in his hand, and imitated the movements that Yu Mengqing had taught him before, and gently pressed around his eyes.
This was also the eye exercise that Yu Mengqing had told him at that time.
In fact, he still didn't understand the point of doing this, but since his cousin's wife said so, he just had to do it.
At least he knew that his cousin's wife would not harm him.
And she also told herself at the time that doing so could effectively relieve eye fatigue.
"Good luck to the Emperor!"
Before Chu Shixiang could double-click, he heard his mother's voice and quickly stood up.
"Your son greets His Majesty."
"Get up!" Chu Murong said with a smile.
"Looking at the emperor's expression, did something happy happen?" Concubine Yu looked at Chu Murong and asked curiously.
But in fact, I probably guessed what it would be.
During this period, the only thing that made him happy was the war situation on the border.
But as a woman in the harem, she never interfered in internal affairs, so she had to pretend not to know.
"What do you think it is?" Chu Murong asked in a good mood.
Hearing this, Chu Shixiang shook his head helplessly.
Everyone says that his father is strict, but only Chu Shixiang understands that it is just on the surface.
In his eyes, his father sometimes behaves like a child.
