When Qi Xiao said these words, Emperor Shengde thought that his good son-in-law had been staying with his unlucky daughter for a long time and had finally gone crazy.
Otherwise, how could he say that he allowed these mortal enemies to go to Mingzhou to quell the rebellion and put him and Feng Xi under house arrest?
Also mobilize the Shen family navy?
Yes, although there were Japanese pirate attacks in Hezhou and Yaozhou where the Shen family was stationed in these years, they were all small forces and there was no need to dispatch large armies.
In other words, even if some troops and horses are transferred to quell the chaos, it will never affect the front defense.
Of course, the navy is not only good at water warfare, they are particularly outstanding in this aspect. As infantry, they have no problem dealing with some chaos.
But who does the Shen family belong to?
Those are all Prince Feng Jing’s people!
Now that the Chu family is missing one of its three bedrooms, and Feng Yunxuan, the assistant, has become independent, the turmoil within the fourth prince's line cannot be said to be small.
At least in the short term, the fourth prince's lineage cannot compete with the prince's lineage.
At this time, if they give military honors to the prince's lineage and give them the opportunity to discredit Feng Xi, wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot...
crazy!
All crazy!
"Father, have you forgotten? The Shen family is not monolithic, just like General You Jiao and his son Shen Ge."
Seeing Qi Xiao's fox-like smile, Emperor Sheng De could only sigh:
"I know you want to give this mother and daughter a chance, but if they say this, can you be sure that their words and deeds are consistent? Even if their words and deeds are consistent, what about their ability? What if they can't defeat the Shen family?"
As the king of a country, he also understands the ministers under his command.
Mr. Shen and the current general Shen Wan are not fools. It is one thing for them to love women, but it is another thing to run the army. What if...
"As the saying goes, don't be suspicious of the people you use. They can't beat the Shen family. Don't they still have their sons and the little Phoenix?"
"You and Xi'er?"
Emperor Shengde sneered:
"What can you two do? You can still guide their mother and daughter in Beijing now. When they leave for Mingzhou, can you still follow them..."
etc……
Seeing the smile on Qi Xiao's face, Emperor Sheng De felt bad:
"So you two asked me to put you under house arrest, but you actually wanted to take the opportunity to go to Mingzhou to hinder the prince? But do you know how many pairs of eyes are watching you outside now? How do you get there? Put on your wings and fly over?"
Qi Xiao smiled and said nothing, but Feng Xi, who had not seen Qi Xiao back and finally came to look for him, said:
"The emperor must have the emperor's son. There are so many things in this world that are not enough for you to take care of? How can the madman get there? Of course the madman can crush the void and flash directly there!"
Emperor Sheng De: "..."
Crushing what?
What flash?
How to get there?
crazy!
It’s all crazy!
In the morning court the next day, Emperor Shengde, who was being comforted by a group of courtiers in turn and whose ears were pricking when he heard his daughter's bad words, looked uglier than ever before.
But the rebellion was so important that he had to make a decision even if he didn't want to.
In the end, in order to give an explanation to the officials and the people of the south, Emperor Shengde announced that the protector princess Feng Xi and the consort Qi Xiao would be banned from the palace and would not come out unless necessary.
At the same time, Prince Feng Jing was sent to the south to quell the chaos. The mighty General Shen Wan mobilized troops. Mu Qingze, the eldest son of Qi Bohou Mansion, and Jia Li, the Minister of Civil Affairs, assisted in handling the case.
As soon as this order came out, the ministers who had prepared a lot of things to say were stunned.
Because none of them expected that Emperor Sheng De would agree so happily, and so happily that they couldn't make any mistakes.
Nowadays, the prince's line and the fourth prince's line are obviously stronger than the prince's line.
At the same time, the mighty General Shen Wan is stationed in Hezhou and Yaozhou all year round, both in the south. It is obviously very reasonable to transfer troops to Mingzhou from here.
If the prince goes to the southern land to quell the chaos, even the fourth princes will have no choice but to admit defeat.
Then came the well-known neutral faction in the court - Mu Qingze, the prince of Qi Bohou Mansion, and Jia Li, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
As we all know, the old Qi Bohou, Taishi Mu Lingyang, was the emperor's master. Now Qi Bohou is weak, so most of the affairs in the mansion are handled by Mu Qingze, the eldest son.
Despite the fact that Mu Qingze was usually quiet and rarely showed up to the outside world, everyone speculated that he would be able to become the next Qi Bohou in a few years.
As for Jia Li, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he has been playing the role of checking and balancing Chu Yu, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, for Emperor Shengde. He can even be regarded as classmates with Emperor Shengde and Qi Shuai.
Because the emperor's teacher Mu Lingyang was the examiner the year he entered the official position and was his seat teacher.
Obviously, these two people were selected by Emperor Shengde to check and balance the prince and the mighty general.
They all have excellent reputations in the court, and Mu Qingze has a family background that requires the prince to be courteous. This is a truly wonderful move.
Feng Jing naturally didn't want anyone to restrict him, but he also knew that his father had already made a compromise. If he continued to force him, I'm afraid the job would fall on the fourth child.
So he quickly knelt down on one knee and said:
"My son, I accept the order and thank you!"
While Emperor Shengde was putting on a show, Qi Xiao and Feng Xi were arranging another matter.
"How many rebellions are separated from each other? Is it possible that there is a rebel army in one county, and they are fighting against themselves?"
Feng Xi looked at Hai Dongqing on Qi Xiao's shoulder, and then carefully looked at the note Hai Dongqing sent back, feeling that there was obviously a discrepancy between the news in Beijing and the news in Mingzhou.
Because the soldiers who came to Beijing to deliver the message stated that the mountain bandits in the five counties and Tongzhou were in rebellion and that the southern region was in danger, they heard that it was a large-scale rebellion and that they were about to send troops to attack the other five states in the southern region.
However, their secret guards who arrived in Mingzhou showed that the state was still divided into five counties, and the number of bandits who came to Mingzhou did not even exceed 500.
Right now, these people are still fighting for territory in five counties. The Southland is in danger!
"If they don't spread the word about the seriousness of the situation, how can they throw dirty water on you, the legitimate princess? Besides, it is still a small-scale rebellion. Will it become bigger when Feng Jing and others arrive?"
Qi Xiao raised his hand and touched Hai Dongqing on his shoulder, feeling that the little phoenix with fried hair was really cute.
Feng Xi nodded, yes, she said she was on her way in a hurry, but with Feng Jing as the prince, it would probably take a day to pack up, so the departure would be the day after tomorrow.
It would take at least half a month to get from Shengjing to Mingzhou. Feng Jing conservatively estimated that it would take 20 days.
When others arrive, they still have to form their troops and so on. Maybe those rebels have swallowed each other up and turned from shrimps into big snakes.
What's more, these people still want to trick her. Maybe they will just stop and go for a month, and then delay the action for half a month, hoping to get her a big one!
So Feng Xi clapped her hands and said:
"Quick, let your Haidongqing send the message now. Then we will use it as the coordinate space transmission and go directly to Mingzhou to give them a big one!"
Qi Xiao: "..."
Okay, of course, whatever you say will do~
