In less than two cups of tea, Li Baiyu walked out of Jing'an Hall in despair.
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly came forward and looked at the prince earnestly: "Your Highness, what did the father say? Is he planning to come out and take charge of the overall situation?"
After asking this question, Liu Mingzhi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He had already noticed that something was not right about the prince's expression.
As expected, Li Baiyu shook his head sadly: "Father didn't see me. He asked Manager Zhou to send a message that the matter should be handled by Gu Quan, and let Gu Duo absorb the opinions of the courtiers, especially if something happened. I must discuss this with you more!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Jing'an Palace in confusion for a long time before coming back to his senses and looking at Li Baiyu suspiciously.
Did the emperor really mean this sentence or was it just made up by the prince?
Is the emperor really okay? The prince's court experience was simply not enough to deal with urgent border issues, and the emperor could not be unaware of this.
In my own impression, it is impossible for the emperor to be such an indifferent figure.
For a moment, Liu Mingzhi's mind was racing and he couldn't calm down. Could it be that the emperor had really...
No, the emperor's decision was too hasty. Liu Mingzhi really didn't want to believe that the emperor would issue such an order.
"Your Highness, I would like to meet with Your Majesty once. Please send a message to Your Majesty!"
Li Baiyu nodded hesitantly: "Okay, I'll do my best. If my father really doesn't want to meet you, I can't do anything!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, I'm done!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Baiyu's figure walking towards Jing'an Palace, but he could only vaguely see the red-painted palace door and knew nothing about the rest.
Young Master Liu was in a mess now. The emperor's avoidance made Liu Mingzhi feel very uncomfortable.
If he really avoided seeing Liu Mingzhi, there would be nothing to worry about, but Liu Mingzhi was worried that the rumors among the ministers would become true.
Once the rumors come true, Liu Mingzhi dare not think about what kind of shock Dalong will have.
At present, several princes and princes have evil intentions. Once the facts come true, a big earthquake will really happen!
Liu Mingzhi, who was deep in thought, didn't notice the passage of time at all, and he didn't even know when the prince came back.
"Brother-in-law, I have tried my best, but my father's words remain unchanged. The matter of raising troops in the Western Regions to invade my territory is left to Gu. I must follow your advice! I'm sorry, Gu really can't be my father's master. Let's go back. !”
Liu Mingzhi's eyes were focused and he gritted his teeth as he walked resolutely towards Jing'an Palace. The prince hesitated and followed him: "Brother-in-law, you must be kind to your words. Don't be confused. You can't break into the monarch's residence without summons." Same as regicide!"
Liu Mingzhi paused in his steps and glanced sideways at Li Baiyu: "Your Highness, you should go back first. If you are implicated for this, Dalong will really be in chaos. You first convene a meeting of hundreds of officials to discuss the matter of resisting the invasion of the Western Regions. , I’m going to try my best to see His Majesty!”
The prince looked at Young Master Liu hesitantly: "Brother-in-law, you and I are traveling together. We cannot let you bear the pressure of your father alone. If you are guilty, we will bear it together!"
Regardless of whether Li Baiyu was sincere or fake, these words alone were enough to make Liu Mingzhi feel warm in his heart.
"Your Highness, as the prince who supervises the country, your more important responsibility is to deal with the border invasions in the Western Regions. If you cannot solve the border invasions in the Western Regions in time, if the Turks of the Jin Kingdom rashly raise their troops to take advantage of the situation, Dalong will fall into the flames of war that will never be restored. , the displacement of the people is minor. It is possible that the entire territory north of our Dalong border will collapse. Shanhaiguan has already demarcated the border with the Jin Kingdom. Once the six main cities in northern Xinjiang fall, there will be no resistance in the hinterland of Dalong. The Turkic cavalry The iron cavalry generals from the Western Regions are like entering uninhabited land and invading our territory. The country is in danger, how can an ordinary man survive!"
Li Baiyu gritted his teeth and patted Liu Mingzhi on the shoulder: "Don't be impulsive, think twice before you act!"
"Brother Chen understands!"
"I will go ahead and summon all the civil and military officials. The Qinzheng Hall is waiting for your return!"
After Li Baiyu left, Liu Mingzhi thought for a moment and trotted towards the harem.
The matter of entering the harem without being summoned has long been forgotten by Young Master Liu. The country is about to have a big problem, and rules and so on can no longer be taken care of for the time being.
"Prince-in-law, why are you here?"
The manager Qian next to the queen saw Young Master Liu rushing over and greeted him cheerfully, without any worry at all.
Also, about the invasion of troops in the Western Regions, even the prince only found out that the letter was missing, let alone the eunuchs under the empress who could not interfere in court affairs.
"Manager Qian, I am polite. Is your mother here?"
"Prince-in-law, your Majesty is taking a bath. Please wait a moment. I will bring you to see you after your Majesty takes a bath and changes clothes!"
Liu Mingzhi clenched his fists and sighed. Why was he taking a bath and changing clothes at this critical moment? Liu Mingzhi had no choice but to wander back and forth in the corridor outside the palace.
It is already a serious crime to enter the harem without permission. If you force your way in after knowing that the queen is bathing and changing clothes, you will probably be torn apart by a carriage and die.
For about an hour, Young Master Liu felt anxious and waited anxiously in the corridor with a trickle of sweat on his forehead. The queen had not yet finished bathing and dressing.
He glanced at his father-in-law Liu Mingzhi, who had fallen asleep leaning on the guardrail, sighing sadly and shaking off his robe.
As the queen's mother-in-law, after taking a bath for two hours, aren't you afraid of getting yourself soaked?
After looking at the sky, Liu Mingzhi's heart skipped a beat: "My son, Liu Mingzhi, is paying homage to my mother. I dare to ask my mother if it is convenient for me to see my mother now. I have urgent matters to pay my respects to my mother!"
"Old slave, see that your empress is a thousand years old!"
Qian Lu, who was sleeping against the guardrail, suddenly fell to his knees in excitement and secretly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth.
However, Qian Lu didn't hear a response for a while and secretly raised his head to observe. There was no one in the corridor except Mr. Liu.
"Prince-in-law, you scared us to death. Did we think the empress had already come out?"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Qian Lu coldly and then focused on the door of the queen's palace.
Qian Lu's eyes showed a hint of astonishment, and he looked at Young Master Liu confused as to why. We have never offended this master, so why does the consort look at us with such cold eyes?
The door of Zhan Cha Gongfu Palace slowly opened, and a palace maid with water stains on her clothes came out: "Prince Consort, Your Majesty invites you!"
Young Master Liu waved his sleeves and walked straight towards the palace.
Queen Nangong Meng's black hair was draped wetly on Xiang's shoulders. She sat on the chair and let the palace maid dress her up.
"My son, Liu Mingzhi, will be a thousand years old when he meets his mother!"
"No courtesy, sit down!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Liu Mingzhi sat on the chair and frowned, looking at the foggy appearance in the palace. He glanced at Nangong Meng, who was dressing up, and lowered his eyebrows.
After drinking tea, Nangong Meng, who was dressed in a dark yellow palace, turned around and looked at Liu Mingzhi in surprise. After taking a bath just now, Nangong Meng's face had a hint of red, and she did not look like a woman who already had several children.
On the contrary, she is as bright and charming as a girl in her early twenties, living up to her status as a mother, and she is really well-maintained.
"Consort, I have not summoned you. Why are you rushing to the palace to see me?"
"Mother, now..."
