Li Chuchen was not in Kyoto.
After Xiao Jingyao hurried back to Kyoto, he went to Yangzhou City with an order.
In times of war and chaos, the prince's presence in charge can better stabilize the morale of the army.
Li Chuchen also followed.
The people in the street praised the princess as a virtuous person, and she never left her even when she went to the battlefield with the prince.
What the people didn't know was that the prince had been married for several months.
After several months, Xiao Jingyao and Li Chuchen still had not consummated their marriage.
Li Chuchen was inevitably anxious, so he had to follow Xiao Jingyao closely.
At this time, Li Xiuyuan was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, looking angry.
Li Chuchen went to Yangzhou Mansion and never told Li Xiuyuan.
By the time Li Xiuyuan found out, Li Chuchen had left Kyoto for two or three days.
The butler on the side comforted him: "As the young lady follows His Royal Highness, there must be strong people around her to protect her. Prime Minister, you don't have to worry so much."
Li Xiuyuan sighed.
It is known to all the people in Kyoto that Prime Minister Li dotes on his granddaughter.
But this granddaughter is only Li Chuchen.
"This girl knows that there is war and chaos outside, but she insists on following the prince. What if this happens...how will I survive?"
Li Xiuyuan was only worried about Li Chuchen, but he never thought that his other granddaughter had lost news for several months, and Li Xiuyuan was never worried.
At this time, the servant walked into the lobby and reported: "Master Xiang, the old lady Qiu outside the mansion handed over the greeting card."
"Qiu Jinfeng?" Li Xiuyuan was a little surprised, thought for a moment, and then said: "I personally went out of the house to greet you."
Qiu Jinfeng's status is not as good as Li Xiuyuan's.
Although Li Xiuyuan was the current prime minister, Qiu Jinfeng became famous far before him, and Qiu Jinfeng's disciples were also spread throughout the government and the public.
This is a force that cannot be underestimated.
Just when Li Xiuyuan walked out of the house, he saw Yu Zhi and Li Wantong behind Qiu Jinfeng.
The gloom on Li Xiuyuan's face flashed away, and the smile on his face revived.
The two of them exchanged a few words and headed towards the door of the mansion.
After Qiu Jinfeng explained his intention, Li Xiuyuan looked at Yu Zhi and Li Wantong.
He knew a lot of inside information, including the truth about the death of his son Li Shi'an, but he still didn't know how to deal with his relationship with Li Wantong.
For the sake of the reputation of the prime minister's house, Li Wantong has not been in the prime minister's house since he was a child, and there is also less intimacy between him and Li Xiuyuan.
And Li Xiuyuan never regarded Li Wantong as his own granddaughter, and even wanted to kill Li Wantong at one point.
Last time, Yu Zhi warned Li Xiuyuan and took out the pamphlets of the black-clad killers.
Now, Li Xiuyuan can no longer threaten Li Wantong's safety
"Since Wantong is willing to marry Yu Zhi and the two of them are in love, I agree to the marriage." Li Xiuyuan said.
Li Xiuyuan understood that the current Yu Zhi was not the Yu Zhi who was beaten out of the prime minister's house last year.
"I want grandpa to book another auspicious day for me and Yu Zhi." Li Wantong said happily.
Li Xiuyuan nodded. "Of course it's good. Grandpa is also very happy that Wan Tong can marry the person he loves."
Qiu Jinfeng didn't say too many words, even if there were only a few words of concern.
When Yu Zhi saw this, he said: "Since the marriage has been arranged, please let the prime minister inform his colleagues in the court."
Li Xiuyuan was puzzled: "This is unnecessary. Wan Tong has not been in the prime minister's house since he was a child, and the people in the court know very little about it..."
Yu Zhi looked at Li Xiuyuan and said: "The Prime Minister is wrong. After all, Tong'er is the granddaughter of your Prime Minister, and I am still the left deputy governor of the court. My marriage must be reported to His Majesty, sooner or later. People know..."
Qiu Jinfeng smiled and said nothing, how could he not know what Yu Zhi meant.
This is to ask Li Xiuyuan to give Li Wantong a status and tell the world that Li Wantong is the daughter of the prime minister's house!
Yu Zhi knew that Li Wantong had always wanted to return to the prime minister's mansion.
Since Li Xiuyuan didn't want to admit it, he had no choice but to force Li Xiuyuan to admit it.
Seeing Li Xiuyuan's troubled look, how could the thoughtful Li Wantong not understand that Li Xiuyuan still refused to admit her identity.
Yu Zhi smiled distressedly, held Li Wantong's hand, and said, "Master Prime Minister, I want Tong'er to marry me in a glorious way. When the day comes, I must get married in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"I know that the Prime Minister has always been honest. Fortunately, my Yu family is not short of money. I will arrange everything, so the Prime Minister does not have to worry."
This guy is really rich... Qiu Jinfeng glanced at Yu Zhi and said, "Prime Minister Li, the Vice Minister Zuo is getting married, and your majesty will definitely ask about it. Why don't you tell your majesty about this earlier?" thing."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and responded: "I was negligent."
...
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Wantong was not in a good mood.
Li Xiuyuan's meaning was not obvious.
Li Xiuyuan still didn't want to admit Li Wantong's identity, even though Li Wantong's legs had recovered.
Perhaps it was difficult for Li Xiuyuan to explain to the outside world a granddaughter who suddenly appeared.
If someone investigates deeply, they will inevitably find out what happened back then.
Li Xiuyuan was cautious in every step he took. If someone caught him, he would end up in a precarious situation.
But Yu Zhi forced Li Xiuyuan to avoid it.
"Tong'er, what are you thinking about?" Yu Zhi asked.
Li Wantong said: "I'm wondering why grandpa doesn't want me to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Yu Zhi held Li Wantong's hand tightly and said, "From now on, you are a member of our Yu family. Why go back to the cold prime minister's mansion when you have a family to return to."
Li Wantong said nothing. Returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion had been her long-cherished wish.
She envied Li Chuchen and hated herself for being born with a disability.
Fortunately, a young man appeared in his life.
"Tong'er, I will definitely take good care of you from now on." Yu Zhi said.
Li Wantong felt a warm current surge in his heart. He looked at the young man beside him and nodded heavily again.
During Yu Zhi's leisurely period of more than a month, everything in the world was not peaceful.
In the northern border, after the grassland tribes took over, they did not commit any evil acts of burning, killing, looting or looting. Instead, they exchanged the cattle and sheep on the grassland for the food and cold-warming clothing in the hands of the people.
The defenders in the north still want to take back Beiliang City.
Without an army like the Northern Border Army, recapturing Beiliang City would be simply a wishful thinking.
However, Da Chu's army appeared on the grassland. The cavalry of the six grassland tribes could not cope with it. Da Chu's army swept through like locusts and massacred the grassland tribes.
This naturally aroused the anger of the six grassland tribes, and the cavalry continued to move towards the south.
Without the guards of the Northern Border Army, the Prairie Iron Cavalry was invincible and captured all the cities in Beiliang Mansion, all the way to Tianshui City, in just one month.
In Yangzhou Prefecture in the south, Xiao Jingyao was in charge, training with the soldiers every day. The momentum of the northern border army and the Yangzhou Prefecture defenders was also increasing.
The Tiger Roaring Army was unable to take a step forward.
But as the woman in red shirt expected, this situation would not last long.
The Northern Territory was invaded by the Prairie Wolf Court, and all the hundreds of thousands of mountains returned to Cangshan... The turmoil in the north left Xu Qing and the Northern Territory Army unable to do anything.
Either the Northern Territory Army returns to defend the Northern Territory, or the Northern Territory Army launches an offensive and fights to the death with the Tiger Roaring Army.
This is a dilemma.
The Northern Territory Army is famous for its defense. In terms of attack, it is by no means a match for Xiang Ji's Tiger Roaring Army.
In the past few months, Xu Qing and the Northern Border Army had tried their best to defend only half of Yangzhou Prefecture.
What's more, Xiang Ji's 300,000 Tiger Roar Army far surpassed the Northern Border Army and Yangzhou defenders.
Retreat, cannot retreat.
Fight, can't fight.
Let's talk about the land of West Mozhou. Countless charges have been launched on Mount Anmo outside Mofeng City.
After gathering the Jianghu sects and city defenders in West Mozhou, Anmoshan launched offensives against Mofeng City again and again.
Although Xiao Hongqing, the king of Qingcheng, was superb in martial arts, he was not a commander-in-chief who dispatched troops and generals.
Without Li Qingru's plan, Mofeng City would have been breached countless times.
Despite this, the situation under Desert Wind City is still not optimistic.
Because, the shadow of Night Ghost appeared in Anmo Mountain's camp.
During this time, Beidou Camp still did not take action. Those old generals were still dissatisfied. They defended the world for the Chu royal family, but in exchange they were accused of treason.
Now everyone is determined not to work for Da Chu again.
...
The flames of war in various parts of Dachu gave rise to a gloomy atmosphere throughout the court.
Xiao Yuande was also very anxious.
Qiu Jinfeng has not entered the palace for many days.
Ever since Xiao Yuande mentioned Qiu Ruoruo's marriage to him, Qiu Jinfeng had no intention of entering the palace.
Today, the typhoid fever is just around the corner.
Xiao Yuande came to Qiu Mansion.
Emperor Chu paid a private visit incognito, without alerting anyone.
It wasn't until the gate of Qiu Mansion that Qiu Jinfeng knew Xiao Yuande was coming.
"The old minister has sent someone to inform Yu Zhi. He will come to meet His Majesty soon." Qiu Jinfeng said.
Xiao Yuande said in a deep voice: "Is Teacher's health ever better?"
"It's better. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Qiu Jinfeng knew that Xiao Yuande came here not just to care about him.
Not long after, Yu Zhi arrived at Qiu Mansion.
Seeing Xiao Yuande, Yu Zhi just bowed his hands and said bluntly: "What is the purpose of your Majesty's summons?"
Xiao Yuande didn't expect Yu Zhi to be so direct.
He looked at Yu Zhi and said: "You have done a good job regarding the northern border. The West Mo State is not at peace right now, and the Anmo Mountain First Class are just a mob. I hope you can assist King Qingcheng to regain the lost territory!"
Yu Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
Qiu Jinfeng heard the sound and coughed a few times.
This guy is so direct, I'm afraid he will choke His Majesty.
Xiao Yuande was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
Both of them knew what they were planning.
"I want... Beidou Camp's reputation!" Yu Zhi said word by word.
Twenty years ago, Xiao Yuande personally issued an order to designate Beidou Camp as a conspiracy.
If he wants to recover now, wouldn't this be a slap in Xiao Yuande's own face?
If the injustice was really redressed for Beidou Camp, where would the emperor's majesty be?
Xiao Yuande remained silent, holding back his anger and said: "Do you really think that I can't defend Da Chu's country without you?"
Yu Zhi shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Your Majesty will be able to hold on. It just takes some effort."
Yu Zhi had long had the idea of restoring the reputation of Beidou Camp.
While in Qiangcheng, all the conversations of the old Beidou Camp fell into Yu Zhi's ears.
These people are already disheartened and want to rekindle their passion... Letting the Beidou camp be vindicated is just the first step.
