Chapter 309
"A border emergency report?"

In the study, the Ninth Prince frowned after listening to his confidant's report.

"Do you know who the father has summoned?" The emperor asked Fulu to call several ministers into the palace, but he didn't summon the princes. He needed to find out before making further preparations.

The confidant spoke again and told him everything he knew.

"Understood, you go down." He waved his hand, and after his confidant retreated, the Ninth Prince leaned on the chair and tapped the armrest with his fingers.

It doesn't seem to be quite the same as he expected...

At this time, in Chengqian Palace, the emperor was discussing the border affairs with the ministers.

The frontier sent a quick report that Beiqu had repeatedly invaded, and there were also large troops stationed outside the border, eyeing it like a tiger.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Beiqu must not be tolerated." Almost every year, there would be disturbances in Beiqu, but it was not very common for the army to be stationed.

The emperor sat in the first place and did not speak.

Another minister stood up and opposed the previous opinion and advocated not to fight.

Everyone held their own opinions, but Jing Li remained silent.

"My son-in-law, what do you think?" During the selection last year, Jing Li won the first place in both civil and military selections. The emperor recognized his ability.

"Reporting to the emperor, Beiqu's actions are indeed too rampant. I feel that I can send someone to the border gate in the name of escorting food and grass, and play by ear."

When the emperor asked about him, he stepped forward and saluted the emperor.

He didn't say that he must not fight, nor did he say that he must fight, but he just sent people to deliver food and grass.

After all, it is an important border area, and food and grass must be escorted there from time to time, so you can bring more soldiers.

If the situation is really critical, then hit them up and let Beiqu see that they are not easy to mess with.

If...there is nothing wrong, then there is no need to fight, it will only consume, anyway, the consumption of Beiqu is greater than theirs.

After hearing Jing Li's words, the emperor nodded, but he didn't know who to use as the escort.

"My minister is willing to go." Seeing the emperor nodding, Jing Li knelt on the ground and saluted the emperor.

"You?" The emperor was a little surprised, but he did not expect that Jing Li would take the initiative to ask for his life.

He didn't really want Jing Li to leave, after all, the wedding was coming soon, in case something happened...

"Your Majesty, it may not be possible to fight. This humble minister is only here to check the situation at the border."

"Furthermore, apart from the minister, I am afraid there is no more suitable candidate."

After the fifteenth year, many young courtiers were sent out of the capital, and now most of the courtiers are veterans.

Although the old ministers are also in charge, compared with the young ministers, their physical strength is too different.

The journey to the border is long, and it is necessary to play by ear. It is inevitable that the old officials will be a little pedantic in their dealings. Only by letting the young officials go can it be called playing by ear.

No matter what, Jing Li has to go to the border.

The emperor's eyes turned around on the ministers, still hesitating.

"Reporting to the emperor, the old minister thinks that if it's just to escort the food and grass, it's okay to let the son-in-law go. Maybe you can send a prince to practice."

"The border issue may not be as critical as the Jiangnan incident last year. The emperor is blessed with great blessings and God's blessing. Maybe our food and grass will arrive, and Beiqu will also retreat."

The one who spoke was an old court official, Jing Li knew that he was on the side of the Ninth Prince.

Undoubtedly, he spoke for the sake of the Ninth Prince. After all, going to the border prison to deliver food and grass can gain some prestige.

Jing Li didn't care about this, he went to the border for more important things, and as for Beiqu, there was really nothing to fear right now.

 If nothing else, it will be on shelves around the end of the month.
