Above the court hall, there were only a few people kneeling on the ground, and only Marquis Ningyuan was still standing.
The emperor looked at the people kneeling on the ground and became more and more disappointed: "You are all fathers and kings and ministers. How can you think that you only need to sacrifice one person to bring peace to the world? If you think that the world is peaceful If it is obtained in this despicable way, then you can go to the army and stay for a few days. If at that time you still feel that the troops should not be sent, then you can talk!"
Ning Yuanhou looked at the group of desperate civil servants and couldn't help but smile: "Welcome everyone!"
Although the expedition has not yet been decided, it is actually on the line. It is just a matter of time.
When the emperor revealed in his words that he wanted the Yan family to escort the food and grass when he went to court, Meng Hetong on the side couldn't help but frown slightly.
When he went to court, Xie Suyu came to Meng Hetong: "What did you think of when you went to court? I feel like your mood is a little bit wrong."
Meng Hetong glanced back and made sure there was no one around him before speaking: "Some time ago, Xu Qingmo came to me specifically and told me that no matter what, the Yan family could not be allowed to transport food and grass. I originally thought it was strange. The Yan family couldn’t get their turn no matter what, and I thought it was Xu Qingmo who was worried too much, but I didn’t expect that His Majesty was actually asking the Yan family to transport food and grass today!”
"What did Xu Qingmo say?" Xie Suyu was also a little surprised. "The Yan family is also a cousin of the Xu family. Logically speaking, there should be no problem. Why is Xu Qingmo so resistant to letting the Yan family send military rations?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but he told me repeatedly that the Yan family cannot be allowed to make this trip no matter what." Meng Hetong said with some embarrassment.
"But if you want to go to your father and say that you don't want the Yan family to send this military ration, you have to have a justifiable reason, and you have to have someone who can deliver the military rations. The development of military generals has not been good in recent years. Really? During the war, there are not many generals who can be used! If you don't let the Yan family send them off, then who are you going to ask? Are you going by yourself?" Xie Suyu shook his head, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Meng Hetong was silent for a long time, and then looked at Xie Suyu seriously: "Actually, it's not impossible!"
"Meng Hetong! This time we are really going to fight, not the previous bandit suppression..."
"Of course I know, this time there is really going to be a war. Have you forgotten, I am the Marquis of Yongchang now, and I have been living on empty wages as a Marquis. It is not appropriate!" Meng Hetong looked at Xie Suyu and said one word He said in one sentence, "I always have to go to the battlefield. I can't always hide behind and watch others fight on the battlefield!"
Xie Suyu looked at Meng Hetong for a long time, and then couldn't help but said: "You just got engaged, could it be possible that you..."
"Xu Qingmo will not break off the engagement with me because of this kind of thing!" Meng Hetong looked at Xie Suyu, smiled and said, "Ning Yuanhou is my future father-in-law, and no one is more suitable than me to do this! And it's just to escort military rations , it’s not like going into battle to kill the enemy, there’s nothing particularly dangerous. Besides, sooner or later I’m going to go to that battlefield, it’s impossible, let the Xu family guard all the borders in the world!”
Xie Suyu fell silent. Of course he knew that what Meng Hetong said was true. He also knew very well that what he had learned over the years was to be able to play his own role on the battlefield. However, in his impression, he was still the brat who only knew how to drink and have fun. , he was really worried, so he went to the battlefield.
But right now, he has no better way to persuade him, so he can only let him go.
None of the civil servants could stay in the army for seven days. Every one of them cried for mercy. When the matter was mentioned in court, no one said a word. The battle in northern Xinjiang was inevitable. .
The only thing that changed was the transportation of grain and grass. When Meng Hetong mentioned that he was going to transport grain and grass, the emperor rejected it without even thinking about it. Then he arranged for him to go on an expedition with the army and gave him the position of a charge general.
The sudden turn of events at this moment caught him off guard. Even Xie Suyu did not expect that when he was still worried about whether Meng Hetong could adapt to life on the battlefield, the emperor actually let him go to the battlefield directly, and he went directly to fight. There was no such thing as , give him a chance to stay behind.
The most unexpected thing for Xie Suyu was yet to come. Meng Hetong didn't want the Yan family to transport military rations, and the Yan family actually didn't like this job. In the end, the job fell to Xie Suyu.
Xie Suyu was stunned by this sudden disaster. The emperor did not give him a chance to appeal and directly settled the matter. Then, Xie Suyu and Meng Hetong were both captured in the military camp of Marquis Ningyuan.
You must know that Meng Hetong and Xie Suyu have also learned martial arts since childhood, and their basic skills are very solid. It is nothing to fight one against a hundred, but they never expected that they would fall into the hands of Ning Yuanhou.
This time, he is really known as the God of Killing. You must know that he was very cruel to his biological son back then, and he was completely merciless to both of them!
The seventh prince's concubine was really worried because she had not seen Xie Suyu for more than half a month, so she prepared some cakes and sent them over. Then she saw the seventh prince with green eyes in the military camp.
At that time, the seventh prince's concubine was really frightened to tears. He could not imagine that the always gentle and gentle seventh prince could be forced to this point.
And the emperor, a father with no conscience, laughed very loudly after learning about this incident, saying that the man's family should suffer like this, only then did he realize that the imperial power and wealth were hard-won, and then he was kicked out by the queen. .
The emperor talked for a long time outside the Queen's Palace, but the Queen still did not open the door and only said: "Your Majesty, please go back and have a meal!"
The emperor touched his nose. After all, he was driven out, his face was dull, but he refused to take back his life, so he had to walk silently back to his palace with his hands behind his back.
As for the always noisy Empress Shu, after learning that it was Xie Suyu who escorted the grain and grass to the border in the end, the conflict with the Empress also eased a lot. Although they still didn't talk much, they were no longer as tit-for-tat as before.
Although the queen felt sorry for Xie Su Yu, she also knew that this was a national matter. As a prince, he always had to pay something, so she would not deliberately stop him. She just tried every means to appease the seventh princess, and then sent some meals to Xie Su Yu and Meng Hetong from time to time. , nourish the body.
