As soon as Liu Qi finished speaking, the corner of Yang Wenyuan's face twitched unconsciously.
It was true that Ming Dynasty sent troops to Liang State, but it was not that serious at all.
According to their marching route, even if they passed the Qingguo border, they would have to travel at least nearly a hundred miles.
Li Shouting just made the distance shorter.
Supporting Younanguan is not the goal, taking back Liu Qi's 50,000 troops is the real goal.
However, Yang Wenyuan did not expect it.
Liu Qi is really talented.
Even if the 50,000 soldiers and horses were withdrawn, even if they heard the news that the Kingdom of Seal and the Xiongnu were going to unite, they would still send troops?
Since you want to die so much, why don't you help me?
"Your Majesty, since His Highness is so ambitious, why not just follow him."
"After all, the news from the Kingdom of Seal is not completely accurate. His Highness has been planning for a long time, and he already has a chance of winning."
"I have no objection!"
Listening to the words of the ministers, they looked at Liu Qi's longing eyes.
Emperor Qing sighed slightly.
"Okay, Liu Qi, I approve your petition."
Liu Qi was overjoyed immediately, and the big stone in his heart finally fell away.
However, he did not thank the emperor for this.
"Father, do you still have a request for me?"
After hearing what Liu Qi said, Yang Wenyuan suddenly became nervous.
"Father, I think of the day after tomorrow, so I will send out troops!"
I'm a little anxious, but I can't be anxious!
Nowadays, the situation abroad is changing in a complex way, and Yang Wenyuan's party in the court are constantly trying to hinder his plan to send troops.
If something unexpected happens again, I'm afraid that my expedition will really be aborted.
Although there are still a lot of preparations that have not been fully implemented, given the current situation, it is safest to leave Kyoto as early as possible.
But Emperor Qing was shocked.
Just now, he was planning to let Liu Qi spend more time preparing in Kyoto. Maybe the Ming Kingdom was just bluffing and would withdraw its troops soon.
At that time, the eldest prince's troops and horses can be allocated to him again.
Unexpectedly, this kid actually made such a petition.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Shouting quickly stood up and echoed.
"Your Majesty, the prince is so wise!"
"As the saying goes, troops are valuable but swift. The sooner Your Highness sends troops, the more likely he is to make other countries defenseless."
"In this way, by the time the dispute between the Ming Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom is over, His Highness will have returned in triumph."
He didn't say it so nicely. He just wanted the emperor to make up his mind to send troops as soon as possible.
Emperor Qing thought for a moment and intertwined his fingers in his sleeves.
"Okay, I'm done!"
...
As soon as the meeting ended, the man in black walked out of the back hall.
He walked up to Emperor Qing angrily without any fear at all.
"Aren't you asking him to die?"
Emperor Qing also looked angry.
"What can I do? Didn't you hear what he said just now?"
"But no matter what, you can reject him!"
The man in black obviously didn't approve of Emperor Qing's answer to him.
"Do you think I haven't thought about it? But if you keep him, it will only follow those people's wishes."
"But..."
Before the man in black finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Qing.
"How do you know he can't finish it?"
"If he can't even withstand this test, then I will definitely agree with your idea and let him be a rich man for the rest of his life..."
.......
After leaving, Liu Qi rushed back to the East Palace without stopping.
And asked Qin Wei to quickly summon Bai Qi and Lu Liang.
After a while, the four of them gathered in the study.
Liu Qi opened his mouth without any delay.
"The troops will be dispatched the day after tomorrow, Bai Qi, how are your preparations?"
Bai Qi was slightly stunned when he heard about the day after tomorrow.
Because the original plan was for the end of this month, there are still nearly ten days before today.
But Bai Qi's expression only flashed, and then he nodded heavily.
"The general is ready."
Liu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
He never makes excuses. Since he said he was ready, there must be no problem.
Immediately, he looked at Lu Liang.
"Sir, please hurry up and get ready. After I leave for the expedition, you will immediately rush to the female empire. No matter what the outcome of the meeting is, I will be waiting for you in Pingcheng."
"I obey!"
At this time, Liu Qi said again.
"There is one more thing. Sir, please help me think about it."
"According to the intelligence report, Yang Wenyuan will provide food, wages, weapons and equipment to the king on an unknown day after our army goes out for the expedition."
"I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I still haven't figured out what kind of medicine he is selling in this gourd."
Lu Liang stroked his beard and thought for a long time.
"Your Highness, according to Xiaomin's opinion, the reason why Yang Wenyuan did this is nothing more than one purpose."
"Oh? Say it quickly!"
"On the pretext of sending food, wages and weapons, I will place spies around His Highness!"
"Although there is already Yan Wenhu, this person is brave and foolhardy after all, and he is still in the open. If he installs an informant by transporting food, wages and weapons, he can achieve his goal of keeping silent."
Liu Qi thought it made sense.
You know, I know now that Yang Wenyuan will have this plan.
But if you don't know, this matter will definitely be conveyed through His Majesty's oral instructions.
At that time, he might still think that his father cared about him and specially distributed supplies to him.
At that time, Yang Wenyuan's informants will be able to lurk around him without anyone noticing.
But for some reason, Liu Qi thought about it and felt that the matter was not as simple as Lu Liang said.
"Okay, I understand."
"One more thing, wait until you arrive in the Empress this time. Don't rush to see the Empress. After you arrive at the guest house, find some Korean businessmen and meet them every day. Just talk about business and nothing else."
Qin Wei suddenly became confused.
"Your Highness, since the Empress is on a mission, why do you want to meet the Koreans? By doing this, aren't you afraid that the Empress will suspect what we are plotting with South Korea?"
Liu Qi smiled slightly, but this time, he did not answer Qin Wei's question.
"Haha, of course I understand, but this is the effect I want."
Lu Liang had already understood this, clasped his hands together and bowed to the prince.
"Your Highness is wise, I admire you."
This move made Qin Wei, who was already confused, even more confused.
"Qin Wei, I have one more thing to tell you."
"Your Highness orders."
"Tomorrow morning, you take this and send it to Prince Su's Mansion. You must hand it over to Prince Su personally. I gave it to him."
What was handed to Qin Wei was a box.
Liu Qi didn't shy away from it, he opened it in front of several people and let Qin Wei take a look.
"Jade?"
Qin Wei blurted out.
As for this jade, it doesn't look like anything special. It's just an accessory, less than half the size of a palm.
Although the workmanship is exquisite, it cannot be said to be anything amazing.
Qin Wei said nothing more.
What to give or not to give is naturally decided by the prince.
Close the box and hold it in your arms.
"I obey my orders!"
Before it was over, several people continued to talk in depth until it was almost evening.
Late at night, outside the gate of Poria Palace.
"Your Highness, you are here!"
