"Really, this is great." Shen Chumu jumped up happily.
Grandma even pulled Shen Ruzhou into her arms, grinning from ear to ear, "It's great. My granddaughter has finally come to the end of her hardships. This is a double blessing for our Shen family."
In the East Palace, Xiao Chenyan sat in front of the desk, his face was horribly cold. After a long time, he said to Jun Wu: "Did the northern border send a battle report yesterday? Let me take a look at it."
Jun Wu didn't expect that Xiao Chenyan would still be interested in reading the battle report at this moment. After being stunned for a while, he realized what he was doing and went to the treasure rack behind the desk to get it and put it in front of him.
Xiao Chenyan unfolded it, made a few comments with the ink pen, and handed it to Jun Wu. Jun Wu took it and looked at it, and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, it says that it is a small group of enemies harassing you. It doesn't matter. You are so aggressive that you let them send people." If we go to investigate again, we will have to go 800 miles to report it urgently. I am afraid that people outside who don’t know about it will think that there is going to be a big war. "
"I just want to make people feel that a war is imminent." A sinister smile appeared on Xiao Chenyan's lips, turning the finger in his hand, and said unhurriedly, "Don't you want to get married at Bei Xiuyan? I won't let him get what he wants. , ask him to go to the north for a tour, and it will take a month to go back and forth anytime soon."
Xiao Chenyan did not hide his inner thoughts at all, and continued: "One month is enough for me to do a lot of things."
He continued to tell Jun Wu, "Go and call all the trustworthy people outside. I have something to arrange."
"Yes." Jun Wu accepted the order with his hands raised.
On the day of the great court meeting, Emperor Yong'an was still ill and unable to go to court. He simply pointed to Xiao Chenyan as the host.
Xiao Chenyan took out the 800-mile urgent military report from the north and said loudly: "Beidi has assembled an army of 200,000 to invade our border. The military situation is urgent. I intend to send the regent to lead the troops to quell the rebellion. I don't know what you think. ?”
When the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty heard about the 200,000-strong army, their faces paled. In the face of the war, they knew very well that only the regent with outstanding military exploits in this dynasty could resist the enemy and protect the country.
Everyone nodded in agreement, only Lu Huaining stood up and objected, "No, Master has just been granted a marriage by the Emperor Father. If he leads the troops on an expedition for a long time before coming back, wouldn't it delay the wedding date."
Xiao Chenyan raised his eyebrows and sneered, thinking that Lu Huaining was still too young, so he gave this reason, "Prince Ning, the border war is urgent, and the regent is leading the military power. At this critical moment, the overall situation should be the most important thing, how can we Declined due to personal matters.”
Lu Huaining refused to accept it. Xiao Chenyan clearly didn't want his master to get married to his beautiful sister, so he deliberately stumbled. Now it seems that he doesn't care about the overall situation.
He took a step forward, straightened his back, and said loudly: "Aren't we going to fight against Beidi? I'll go! I have been taught by my master since I was a child, and I am familiar with the art of war. I can handle Beidi."
Xiao Chenyan glanced at him, and the sarcasm in his words became more intense, "Prince Ning, anyone can talk on paper. You are still young and don't know the dangers of the battlefield. If something goes wrong, the emperor will not be able to explain it."
After he finished speaking, he winked at several officials, and soon someone stood up and begged the regent to lead the army.
The others all agreed, and Beixiu Yan had no choice but to agree.
Xiao Chenyan said with a bit of pride: "Thanks to the regent, I am waiting for the good news of your victory in the capital."
After saying that, he turned to look at Lu Huaining and continued: "Prince Ning is the apprentice of the Prince Regent. He just invited himself to go on an expedition. It is not easy for me to refute your face. Why don't you go out with the Prince Regent and gain some experience?" .”
In one incident, both Bei Xiuyan and Lu Huaining were sent to the north at the same time. This plan was not unwise.
In the Regent's Palace, Lu Huaining sat in the main seat of the council chamber for the first time. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and it was uncomfortable no matter how he sat.
Before, he always stood behind the master and listened, but now because of his status as Prince Ning, the master insisted on letting him take the seat, so he sat at the bottom.
At this time, Vice General Qin's complaining voice sounded in the hall.
"If something big happens in the north, it's probably a bluff by those barbarian tribes. It must be that the local garrison is timid and afraid of fighting, so they lied to the court and requested to send troops to suppress it."
Lieutenant Qin knew the situation on the border very well. When he heard the reports of the enemy in the north in the court hall, he suppressed the anger in his heart and did not step forward to curse them with nonsense.
Vice General Zhou pondered for a moment and then continued: "There have been military reports of unrest in the northern border in the past few days. Every station has been keeping an eye on it. I didn't expect it to be as serious as what was said in the court. I'm afraid it's just It’s just a cover, but there’s no deep meaning behind it.”
Hearing this, Lu Huaining stood up suddenly with anger on his face.
"It must be Xiao Chenyan who is causing trouble. He didn't want to see Master getting married to his beautiful sister, so he found a reason to let Master leave Kyoto."
"Everyone, please speak carefully. When the border is stable, you should not be careless. Whether the information is accurate or not, we will send someone to investigate carefully." Bei Xiuyan's voice was cold and dignified.
Vice General Qin stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to lead a team of scouts to gallop through the northern border under the stars to find out the situation of the battle."
"Be sure to hide your whereabouts along the way, and fly pigeons to report news every day." Beixiu Yan issued a military order, and then ordered the other generals to prepare on their own.
Lu Huaining was the only one left in the hall, and Bei Xiuyan looked at him with a little more concern.
"From today on, let Hong Xi and Jian Yu follow you every step of the way. I am worried that the prince will harm you."
"Master, you don't have to be so careful. No matter how audacious Xiao Chenyan is, he would not dare to kill me directly." Lu Huaining didn't take it seriously, only feeling that the master was acting more cautiously now.
"Huaining, Xiao Chenyan's knives are hidden in invisible places, so don't be careless." Beixiu Yan picked up the tea cup, took a few sips, and continued: "Why do you think he wants you to follow me to the battlefield? Really? Want you to practice more?"
