The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 565 Rules Are Dead, People Are Living
Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing: "I used to hear that I was a treacherous minister, cruel, and wolf-hearted, but this is the first time I've heard people praise me for being kind."

The queen mother shook her head and said meaningfully: "That's because they don't understand. You are a person of great kindness. You don't care about trivial matters and you have your own pursuits. If the law is changed in the future and women can marry at will, Your Royal Highness will be punished." All the women in the world pay homage."

"I'm just doing what I can. As the saying goes: Rules are dead, people are alive, and people are alive. If the rules are wrong, they must be changed."

Xiao Yu got up and said to everyone: "It's good for you to know what's going on today, what will happen in the future, I don't know yet."

"Naturally, I will supervise you all." Zhen Mu glanced at everyone, "To put it bluntly, this matter is in the best interest of us, and we have to thank the princess first."

"Thank you, there is no need. You also helped me and Your Majesty. Things are complicated when I come in, so I will stay soon. King Ning will come into the palace to see Mrs. Shu, Mrs. Shu, go back early to prepare, I Excuse me first."

"The empress dowager, go slowly." The empress dowager stood up and wanted to see her off, but Xiao Yu waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty, stay a little longer."

Ning Zhao didn't go with her, but stayed to talk to Zhen Mu and the others.

……

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. After receiving the news, Zhen Qingping rushed to the capital day and night, and entered the palace as soon as he arrived.

"I have seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"

"Little uncle, get up quickly, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony." Jun Rong stepped forward to help Zhen Qingping up, "Sit down."

Xiao Yu poured Zhen Qingping a cup of tea guiltily and said, "It's hard work, little uncle, who traveled all the way for this trip."

"Fortunately, it's not hard work. I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time. When I entered the city, I was stunned for a while. It felt very different from before, and the guards became more and more strict. But I see that the guards are not from the Jingdong camp. people?"

"The group of idiots in the Jingdong camp turned against each other again and again. His Majesty and I couldn't tolerate it anymore, so we broke up and sent them to other places. Now King Ning and the garrisons from all over the country have drawn them to serve as patrol officers. "

Xiao Yu briefly told him about the current situation in the court, which people are his own and can be trusted, those who are talented can be used, and those who are untrustworthy and unusable, but it will not be easy to move for a while.

Zhen Qingping also knew her mission this time, so she listened quietly, keeping everything in mind.

"King Ning is also available for the time being. If you encounter any difficult things, you might as well leave it to King Ning to do it."

"Okay, I'll think about it, then... how will the third prince deal with it?"

Zhen Qingping thought about it and said: "Although he had a feud with His Majesty before, at least this time he didn't do it voluntarily, and he didn't join forces with Ding Guogong and the others. Sent to the fief."

"Your Majesty and I also have the same intention. After going through all these twists and turns, he seems to have given up on the throne. In addition, he has no power behind him, so there is no basis for it. In this case, it is better to treat him kindly and replace him with someone who can clearly reward and punish him." good reputation."

Zhen Qingping nodded appreciatively: "It should be so."

"Then let's do this." Jun Rong thought for a while and picked up a pen to write on the imperial decree, "The third prince, Jun Yuan, was granted the title of King Yong, and he was granted the title of land and state."

"Although Xianzhou is far away, it is still rich and the folk customs are simple, so it is suitable for him to stay."

Jun Rong put down the pen, waited for the ink to dry before rolling it up, and put it aside.

"There's nothing left to say. I've already prepared food, horses, and the like. After you take over the government, we'll set off for the border."

"So fast?" Zhen Qingping looked at Jun Rong in surprise.

"It's not too late."

Jun Rong got up and handed the jade seal to Zhen Qingping, "Kyoto, I will leave it to you, little uncle."

Zhen Qingping's expression froze, and he knelt down holding the jade seal in both hands.

"To share the worries of the king, the minister will not hesitate to die. Your majesty and the princess will go to the border with peace of mind. The capital will be guarded by the minister."

"Thank you, little uncle." Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to support him, and exchanged a glance with Jun Rong, both clearly saw the expectation in each other's eyes.

They have waited too long for this battle.

……

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Yu and Jun Rong left the city in a carriage escorted by ten thousand elite soldiers.

In addition to the [-] elite soldiers they brought with them, King Ning also borrowed [-] of them to escort food and supplies.

When the city gate opened, the sky had just turned white, Xiao Yu lifted the curtain of the car and looked back at the still-awakened capital.

They will be back soon.

……

"Duke, the spies below have come to report that there seems to be some changes on the other side recently."

"Cough cough cough—what's the change?" Lord Zhen was sitting at the table in his outer clothes, his face was flushed, but his lips were dry and white.

Seeing this, Chen Ying, the deputy general under him, couldn't help persuading him: "Duke, please pay attention to your health. It's getting colder and colder these days. You got up and tossed about before the cold has healed. Be careful again."

"It's okay, you continue to talk, what's the matter on the other side?"

Chen Ying sighed: "I don't know, we can't get too close, we can only observe from a distance. The people over there have been very active in recent days, as if they are going to welcome someone, and they have set up a main tent again."

"Master account?" Lord Zhen raised his head and glanced at him.

"Yes, it's the main account. It's very big and tall, and you can see it at a glance."

Lord Zhen let out a deep breath, tapped his fingers on the table, thoughtfully: "Master, the person who will come must be a dignitary, and it is unlikely to change generals in the middle of the battle. Most likely, it is the princes who come to gain military merits."
