One Curtain Wind Moon Nine Heavens

Chapter 153
With the resurgence of gunpowder, no one can stay out of the matter, including the Hou Mansion.

Despite strong protests from courtiers, claiming that there was something wrong with the assassination of the two princes, it was very likely that Dingyuan Hou sent someone to do it.However, Saburo of the Hou Mansion still went out according to the order, leading an army of [-] to the southwestern border to recover the lost land.

"Your Majesty, the two princes were assassinated first, and then all the countries besieged Wuchu. The timing is too coincidental, and there may be internal responses! Before the truth is clear, it is really inappropriate for Beiyue to command an army of [-]!" Taifu Zhao was heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" In the middle of the court, several courtiers came out and echoed Zhao Taifu with one voice.

"Your Majesty, the army has just set off for half a day, and they are still able to recover! Your Majesty, please issue an order!"

"Your Majesty, please order—"

Above the court, officials headed by Zhao Taifu came out and knelt down one after another.Although the military officer didn't think so, he didn't dare to come forward to protect Dingyuan Hou and his son.

After all, they are old people from the previous dynasty, so it is hard to guarantee that the father and son will not have the intention of regaining the country.

"Your concerns, I understand. But you don't understand Marquis Dingyuan..." In the middle of speaking, Emperor Feng Yuan coughed twice, and then continued after taking a breather, "He may have rebellious intentions, but he never dares to take the country The people of Sheji and Wuchu make a bet."

He and the other party have known each other since childhood, and they once fell in love with each other as brothers, and they understood each other very well.People's hearts are changeable, but the bottom line of being a human being will not change.

Every inch of land in the Wu and Chu Dynasty was the foundation laid down by successive emperors of Beicang.With the man of Marquis Dingyuan, how could he come up with such a stupid way of colluding with foreign countries, causing the country's internal and external troubles to face the disaster of subjugation again?
Such detrimental and self-defeating practices were done by that frenzied idiot An Lehou.

Thinking of An Lehou, a trace of coldness flashed across Emperor Feng Yuan's eyes.According to a letter from Fengge who was released to investigate the case, he seems to have found out that Anlehou had a wife living among the people, and Dingyuanhou's sixth son, Shuda, was assassinated by the other party.

In order to cause conflicts between the royal family and the Dingyuan Houfu.

It is not yet known whether the news is true, but rashly convicting Ding Yuanhou and his son at this time is tantamount to breaking his own arm, and the gain outweighs the loss.

"Come on, pass it on to Marquis Dingyuan."

"Your Majesty..." The emperor did not listen to the advice, and all the officials were extremely anxious.

Emperor Feng Yuan didn't want to listen to their nagging, so he waved his hands, "Prime Minister Meng, Zhang Han, Yan Gongjin, Wu Taiwei and the generals will stay, and the rest, leave."

The emperor insisted on his own opinion, and the ministers had no choice but to withdraw from the court.

Especially Mrs. Zhao, who was so angry all the way. He is over 60 years old and usually walks slowly, but today he walks like flying.He is the Grand Tutor, and His Majesty excluded him from discussing matters with his cronies, which made him very embarrassed.

Even the Crown Prince and Taifu were able to stay, but he was kicked out. Is His Majesty beating him?Dissatisfied with him repeatedly targeting Marquis Dingyuan?Although several generals have died so far, is there no one available in the court except for Dingyuan Hou and his son?

In the final analysis, His Majesty is too benevolent for a woman, indecisive, and a tiger for trouble...

It's really a narrow road to Yuanjia, Master Zhao came out of the palace gate, and on the way back to the mansion, he happened to meet Dingyuanhou's car driver.He snorted, and sat in the car with an arrogant expression, not even bothering to give the corner of his eye a glint, let alone giving in.

There is no way, he is an official, and Marquis Dingyuan signaled to follow him and make way.Wait for the other party to pass before leaving.

In stark contrast to Zhao Taifu's arrogance, Song Jijiu's carriage saw Dingyuanhou from a distance, and immediately avoided it.Because of his young and promising grandson Song Hao, this person was highly appreciated by His Majesty, and he was reinstated to his post two years ago.

When Marquis Dingyuan's carriage passed by, he bowed his hands in a respectful gesture.No matter what conflicts there have been between the two families, the due etiquette is still meticulous.

He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face, and Ding Yuanhou bowed back with his hand, with a calm expression on his face.

Guessing that the other party's carriage had gone far away, Song Jijiu's eldest son, Song Qin, glanced back and said with a complicated expression:
"Master Hou is really lucky... My son thought that within ten years, there would be no more Beiyue clan in the world, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, His Majesty still relies on him so much.

"That's his ability." Song Jijiu didn't turn his head back, hid his hands in his sleeves, looked ahead and said, "But no matter how capable he is, he is also an old man from the previous dynasty..."

As an old man, there will always be a day when he will retire.

"Teacher Zhao also had a feud with the Hou Mansion?" Song Qin was curious, "My son sees that he wants to put the Hou Mansion to death."

Song Jijiu smiled slightly, "Except for military generals, who would like to think about it?" Even today, the time has not yet come, "Teacher is too hasty."

"Father, I heard that the Marquis of Dingyuan still has a concubine daughter who is waiting to be married. It just so happens that my nephew Mubai is not married either..."

Mubai, Song Hao, son of the third house of the Song family, Song Jijiu's favorite grandson!
"Don't even think about it!" Song Jijiu glared at him, quite dissatisfied, "Mubai has a bright future, as an uncle, it's fine if you don't plan for him, and you're holding him back? Don't forget, you are him. Dear Uncle! Eh? By the way, if you don’t go back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion at this time, what are you doing here?”

Get out of my way!A net of bad ideas!

"No, father, I haven't finished my sentence yet..."

"Get out!" Song Jijiu ignored him with a stern face, raised his beard, and kept urging the driver, "Go, leave him alone, go back to school!"

Who in the world doesn't know that Princess Anping, the daughter of the Dingyuanhou Mansion, is a Kefu?No matter what the eldest son's purpose is, letting the grandson marry her will do a lot of harm and no benefit!Don't mention this kind of idea, he doesn't even want to hear it.

"Hey, father..." Song Qin sighed helplessly as he watched his father's carriage go away.

What is Kefu?In his opinion, it was all man-made, and probably it was done by someone sent by the Marquis of Dingyuan.This kind of little trick, even the boudoir girls in the country are tired of playing it, but my father actually believes it!

Not only my father believed it, but even everyone in the capital believed it.Otherwise, Princess Anping wouldn't have never discussed marriage.

As for why he suggested that his nephew marry her, there was no dark secret.I just feel that His Majesty must have had a purpose in allowing the grandson of Prime Minister Meng to be engaged to Princess Anping.

Since the two families canceled their engagement for some reason, it is better to let their nephew marry her.If his father agrees, he intends to ask His Majesty for permission after Princess Anping completes the ceremony, and to marry the two juniors.

For the marriage bestowed by His Majesty, the Marquis of Dingyuan has nothing to do.

It's a pity, seeing my father's attitude just now, this marriage is probably hopeless, alas.

……

Besides, Marquis Dingyuan has been recuperating in the mansion since Liulang passed away, this is his first time entering the palace to face the saint.When he got up after the salute, he saw Emperor Fengyuan was thin and in poor spirits, he felt the same for a moment, and said sincerely:
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

One sentence touched the pain in Emperor Fengyuan's heart, and he couldn't help crying. He held Marquis Dingyuan's hand and said:

"Ayan, it was my recklessness that caused today's disaster..."

It was he who was overly saddened by the death of his son, and when he heard that Yanshu turned his back on his words and then joined forces with Daqi to attack Wuchu, he was angry and killed the prince's concubine, the eldest daughter of Yanshu.

"It's really reckless." Dingyuanhou nodded straightly.

If the daughter of Yanshu dies, let her die. Emperor Feng Yuan should never throw her body in front of the battle to humiliate Yanshu.

Originally, the King of Yanshu was a villain with a wicked heart but no guts.Every time the alliance with Daqi is the loudest, the withdrawal is also the fastest.As long as he sends his third son, Chang Jia, to show up in front of the battle, it is guaranteed that Yan Shu will not retreat.

But Emperor Fengyuan's move not only humiliated the king of Yanshu, but also humiliated all the soldiers of Yanshu. Only by fighting to the end can he regain some dignity.

Not only that, but the King of Yanshu felt that since his face was torn apart, there was no way out.So while assisting Da Qi to attack Wu Chu, he summoned small countries and tribes that were related to him by marriage to attack Wu Chu together.

In this way, Chang Jia alone may not be able to resist, and he will have to return to the battlefield as an old man.
