Inside the Tai Chi Hall.
"Your Majesty, the prince has been placed in the princess's residence, under the care of the eldest princess." Di Yunhao said.
After Jiang Qiulu nodded, he stood up.
"Long Chen's safety is entrusted to the eldest princess."
"There are still uncertainties in the royal family, so we must be careful." Jiang Qiulu said.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, all the guards in Zhenfu Division are protecting His Highness the Crown Prince." Di Yunhao said.
"Commander Di, please help me take care of this matter."
"Especially King Yong's party, they must not be allowed to approach the princess's mansion easily." Jiang Qiulu said.
"promise!"
On that day, Di Yunhao wanted to send some royal guards to the princess mansion to protect her.
"It's all fine, just let His Majesty rest assured." Jiang Xiyao said.
Di Yunhao knew that Jiang Xiyao had martial arts skills.
But to be on the safe side, Di Yunhao ordered people to step up patrols around the princess mansion.
Jiang Xiawei would also come over from time to time.
By the way, Jiang Xiawei was very active after taking office in the Zhenfu Division.
For such a restless player, the position of Zhenfu Division is really suitable.
Although the position is not high, just a general banner, this also makes Jiang Xiawei very satisfied.
In Tai Chi Hall, Jiang Qiu Lu was handling government affairs.
"Brother Royal!"
A voice suddenly came from outside the imperial study room, and Jiang Qiulu looked up.
Jiang Xiawei was found here wearing a flying fish suit.
"Hey, what are your instructions when General Jiang Qi comes here?" Jiang Qiulu teased.
Jiang Xiawei chuckled.
"Commander Di asked me to patrol the area around the princess's residence to protect the prince," Jiang Xiawei said.
Jiang Donglin stepped forward and circled around Jiang Xiawei.
"Not to mention, Xia Wei looks really good in this Feiyu suit." Jiang Donglin said.
"Does it look good?"
Jiang Xiawei turned around, showing off her slim figure.
"Okay, okay, stop being so pretty."
"Hurry up and do the work, or I will tell your commander and let him punish you." Jiang Donglin said with a smile.
Jiang Xiawei's cheeks bulged, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Don't look at me, Yunhao has the final say on Zhenfusi matters." Jiang Qiulu said with a smile.
Jiang Xiawei snorted and left the imperial study.
"Brother Imperial, do you think Xia Wei can reach a higher position?" Jiang Donglin asked.
"Maybe."
"Xia Wei is a lively girl, and her martial arts skills are not inferior to those of men."
"It may be the right choice to let her join the Town and Fu Department," Jiang Qiulu said.
At this moment, an Ouchi guard hurried in.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty."
"What's the matter?"
"Secret information from the Western Front."
The guard took out a secret letter and handed it over.
Jiang Donglin took the secret letter and handed it to Jiang Qiulu.
After Jiang Qiulu checked it, a cold look flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Donglin waved his hand and signaled the guards to retreat.
"The Western Regions raided the Golden Dragon Pass."
Jiang Qiulu put down the letter and spoke.
"What?"
"The movement is so fast?" Jiang Donglin was also a little surprised.
"This is indeed a little earlier than expected."
"Fortunately, Jinlong Pass is well-defended, and the Western Region Dynasty sent only a small force."
"The casualties at Jinlong Pass are not big, so just defeat them." Jiang Qiulu said.
Jiang Donglin took the secret letter and looked at its contents.
It contains a detailed description of the process, as well as the casualties at Jinlong Pass.
"Brother Emperor, the Western Region Dynasty only sent less than a thousand troops to attack Jinlong Pass."
"How could a border defense general in the Western Regions make such a low-level mistake?" Jiang Donglin said.
Jiang Qiulu thought for a moment and figured out the reason.
"This just tells us that the war between the Daxia Dynasty and the Western Region Dynasty has officially begun."
"Besides, these thousand people are just the vanguard."
"The main force is still in the rear." Jiang Qiulu said.
"In any case, it was the Western Region Dynasty that took action first."
"Then our Daxia Dynasty has to accept the move."
"As the saying goes, it's rude to come and not reciprocate."
"Send the order! Tell the Western Front that all soldiers have entered the first level of combat readiness."
"For invading enemies, take no prisoners and kill them without mercy!"
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused a civil and military sensation in the entire court.
Now less than two years after the war ended, the Great Xia Dynasty has launched a new war.
Although the various powers of the Daxia Dynasty have now been significantly improved.
But the losses of the war were quite huge.
Some ministers felt that Jiang Qiulu's approach was unconsidered.
In the morning of the next day, the ministers had a heated debate over this situation.
"Your Majesty, the Western Region Dynasty has not launched a large-scale attack yet."
"I feel that as long as we defend Jinlong Pass with all our strength, the army of the Western Regions will not be able to cross the border of Daxia and launch large-scale operations."
"Your Majesty, please think twice," a minister said.
"joke!"
At this moment, a minister dressed as a military commander stood up.
"Your Majesty, I will fully support your Majesty's decision."
"The Western Region Dynasty took the lead in breaking the deadlock. There is no need for us to give in to them."
"If possible, the general can also lead the troops to support the western front line." said the Minister of Military Affairs.
"General Song, war is not a child's play."
"What's more, in this Western Region raid, our casualties were only forty or so, but we were able to severely damage the enemy's army of a thousand men."
"This is already a great victory, why should we attack rashly?" Another minister stood up and asked.
"Master Wang, according to what you said, is the number of casualties just a number to you?"
"Those are more than forty human lives, not pigs and dogs!"
"They took the lead in launching the attack. Should we let the frontline soldiers continue to defend?" Another minister stood up and said loudly.
For a time, the court continued to argue, and both sides had their own reasons.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please stop talking." Jiang Qiulu's voice sounded, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
"Everything you said makes sense."
"However, the battlefield is changing rapidly and fighter opportunities are fleeting."
"We can't solve the situation on the front line even if we argue here."
"It all depends on the situation on the front line."
"I believe that my brother, Jiang Chunxiao, the general of Zhenguan, will have his own judgment." Jiang Qiulu did not offend anyone and began to make peace with him.
And Jiang Qiulu threw the problem directly to the western front.
Jiang Qiulu felt that this kind of useful debate was still necessary.
This situation is much better than the kind of person who makes malicious remarks and suppresses others, so Jiang Qiulu does not feel annoyed.
Moreover, this also allowed Jiang Qiulu to see that most of the officials in the court still wanted the Great Xia Dynasty.
After this incident passed, Jiang Qiulu also realized that the ministers had two opinions on this war.
One advocates defense and the other advocates offense. Both are reasonable.
