Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 46 I will not compromise

"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived."

Feng De held a letter in both hands and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor opened the envelope and took a look, then squeezed the envelope tightly, his face filled with anger.

Feng De knew that something must have gone wrong with these princes on the way, and asked: "But something happened to the princes?"

He thought that with Li Junyi accompanying him, no one would be killed.

The emperor took a deep breath, casually showed the letter to Feng De, and said with a worried look on his face: "These remnants have challenged my bottom line two and three times. If I don't make some counterattack, how will the officials view it!"

Feng De read the letter and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the current situation of the princes may not be suitable for the competition immediately. Do you want to inform the general to postpone the competition for a few days?"

The emperor nodded without saying a word.

Feng De winked at the little eunuch beside him, and the little eunuch retreated.

"Your Majesty, nothing can be rushed. Now the prince has not been recognized by the officials, and several other princes have begun to show their talents. The officials have different opinions. All the emperor can do is to wait and see what happens."

"What troubles me now is how to completely eliminate the remnants of Xianle Kingdom!" The emperor patted the desk angrily.

Speaking of this, Feng De was also in trouble. After thinking again and again, he said: "The current strength of the princes cannot compete with the people of Xianle Kingdom. Why don't we return the military power to the prince first and let him lead the troops to eliminate the remnants of Xianle Kingdom? Then take back the military power."

But this is difficult for the emperor. The reason for withdrawing military power was far-fetched before. He even sent it to the border for so many years. Now in order to repel the small Xianle Kingdom, he has given up military power again. If he really has second thoughts. , but it’s too late to regret it.

Even if he has good intentions, how can he take back the military power he gave him?
After much thought, he still did not adopt Feng De's suggestion: "I don't believe it anymore. No one in the entire Kyoto can repel the remnants of Xianle Kingdom except him!"

Feng De knew in his heart that the emperor was still reluctant to give up military power, but he couldn't think of anyone who could take on the important task.

"Send an order to Jiang Zhou and give him one month to make the Xianle people completely disappear in Kyoto!" He finally handed over this important task to Jiang Zhou.

But when Feng De heard that Jiang Zhou was about to send a message, his face was startled and he replied: "Your Majesty, the general's old illness relapsed a month ago and he has been bedridden. Your Majesty, you should choose someone else!"

The emperor was so angry that he threw the book he just picked up on the table again and said angrily: "Why did something happen at this juncture!"

Then he thought of Duke An Guo and said, "Then send a message to Duke An Guo to come see me."

Feng De was frightened again and said: "Dong Anguo and Mrs. Anguo accompanied the Queen Mother to the temple yesterday to pray. The Queen Mother will not return to the palace until she prays for a month."

The emperor knew that he, the queen, was setting a trap for him and wanted Li Junyi to take back his military power. What a dream!

"If you want to force me to compromise, the Queen Mother really played a good game! Hahaha!" He laughed dryly a few times, looking a little sarcastic.

"Your Majesty, please go to Yongning Palace. Maybe you will get a satisfactory answer." Feng De suggested that the Emperor go to the Empress.

In order to prove to the Queen Mother that there were many capable people in Kyoto besides Li Junyi, he got up and went to Yongning Palace.

"Prince, this letter from the princess will arrive in Kyoto in five days." Aledo came to report.

Jing Ge was practicing throwing darts at this time. When he saw someone disturbing him, he turned around and threw a dart towards Aledo.

This scared Aledo quite a bit, but fortunately the dart just flew past him and landed on the door frame.

"If you come in again without knocking, the dart will fall on the door frame."

Jing Ge hates when someone disturbs his exercise time, especially if he doesn't say hello.

"My subordinates are wrong."

Aledo felt aggrieved. He was either scolded or beaten every day. When would this kind of life end?
Even the roar is silent.

"I heard that people from the Xianle Kingdom committed a murder in Kyoto last night and killed many people. Is this true?"

Jing Ge was sitting on the roof last night admiring the moon. From a distance, he saw a group of men in black suddenly running out on a street and killing everyone they saw.

In just a few moments, the streets were strewn with corpses, which was shocking.Aledo nodded: "My subordinates heard that Emperor Tianzhao was very angry because of Long Yan this morning and scolded all the officials."

"Incompetent. The heavily guarded Kyoto can actually allow these people to come and go freely. They are a bunch of trash." Jing Ge mocked the officers, soldiers and guards in Kyoto who only ate military rations and did nothing.

"Sure enough, Tianzhao is vulnerable without the giant Buddha Li Junyi. It seems that the marriage needs to be considered."

He didn't want Tianzhao to change dynasties not long after his sister married.

After hearing this, Aledo seemed to understand Jing Ge's thoughts and said: "Since it is a marriage, why doesn't the prince let the princess get close to the regent? He is more useful than the prince."

Jing Ge turned around and rolled his eyes at him, blaming him for talking too much.

Aledo was so frightened that he shut his mouth.

When it came to Li Junyi, he was curious whether these people had already started competing.

"Can the hunting begin?"

Aledo shook his head: "Not yet. I heard that there was a sneak attack on the way, and the princes were injured. The emperor also sent a message saying that the game will be postponed for a few days."

"How many days will it be postponed?" Jing Ge thought to himself. Sure enough, a pampered prince who had never been on the battlefield would make such a fuss over a minor injury.

"Inform the princess and go directly to the hunting ground!" Jing Ge wanted his sister to go and get to know these people generally.

"This..." Aledo hesitated. After all, the emperor said that the princess should live directly in the palace, and there was no need to live with them in the royal inn outside the palace.

With another eye-roll warning, Aledo was forced to compromise: "I'll do it now, my subordinate!"

"Ye Tong." Jing Ge turned around and called Ye Tong.

Ye Tong appeared in front of him with a whoosh: "My subordinate is here."

"When you go to the royal hunting ground, you must ensure the safety of the princess."

"My subordinate understands."

Just as Ye Tong was about to turn around and leave, Jing Ge added: "Pay attention to Li Junyi's actions."

"Yeah." Ye Tong responded and disappeared.

When Bai woke up, she saw that the room was empty. She called several times but no one answered.

When he was about to get up to check, a letter on the tea table caught his attention.

When she took it and took a look, her body was shaking with anger: "Su Junxi! Why do you make decisions for me privately?"

She just suffered a minor injury and abandoned her at the inn. How could this woman be so cruel?

There was a sudden knock on the door.

With anger in her voice, she asked, "Who is it?"

"Girl, I am here to take care of you on the order of Mrs. Su." The voice outside the door was as small as a mosquito.

"Come in!" Bai wanted to send him away, but her stomach began to growl.

Seeing that this girl was pretty good at things, she even came in with food.

"Mrs. Su has given instructions. The girl's health will not recover for a while, so you should rest and recuperate at the inn. I will take you back when I get back."

The maid told Bai Shi everything Su Junxi told her.

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai was no longer angry, and obediently drank all the porridge served by the slave.
