Chapter 284 Battle
On the outskirts of Beijing.
"Bai Xiang, the war hasn't started over there yet?"
The emperor asked, his face showing no displeasure.
After Lady Yinzhuang changed her attitude, the emperor's mood improved a lot in the past few days.
Bai Xiang stepped forward quickly and said, "We will start tomorrow. The emperor has a good plan. By alienating the two princes, the capital will be safer."
Although it was clearly the flattery of the ministers, the emperor found it very pleasing to hear. "After this, they will not be as covetous of the capital as before."
Bai Lian agreed, "Your idea is still good. The capital city finally has a chance to breathe and rebuild."
"How is Wen'er?" The emperor suddenly changed the subject, "Teach him well, and ask Fuqing for help if you need anything."
He didn't like concubines in the harem, but he was quite good to his own children.
If several princes had not been killed this time, he would not have revealed Bai Xuwen's identity.
If he hadn't been in poor health and couldn't have children, he wouldn't have been in a hurry to train Bai Xuwen.
He loved this son, but due to pressure from the secular world and the royal family, he kept this son hidden and never exposed him to the outside world.
The capital city suffered such a severe disaster this time that his only descendant was the Eighth Prince, whose leg was injured in the aftershock a few days ago.
The imperial physician has reported that the eighth prince will suffer from a leg disease in the future.
How can the ruler of a country be a cripple!
Some members of the royal family have repeatedly suggested that the emperor select some royal children from the families of various princes to enter the palace for examination. The most outstanding one should be adopted by the emperor and made the crown prince.
The emperor did not give in, and mistakes had already begun to appear on the part of the eighth prince.
At this time, he had to hide Bai Xuwen well, as this son could not be lost.
"Wen'er's identity must be kept secret. Teach him well. When he recognizes his ancestors, that will be the day you become the prince's tutor."
The emperor's words made Bai Xiang very excited, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my best."
"Okay, you can leave now!" The emperor asked him to leave.
There were no outsiders in the tent, so he asked Fuqing:
"When will the battle start over there? Hurry them up so they don't have time to take care of the affairs in the capital.
It would be great if the Prince of Yan could be involved as well. These three men are eyeing them covetously and are always thinking of sending their sons to the capital.
Send more people to Wen'er's place to watch over him secretly.
By the way, Bai Xiang’s granddaughter hasn’t come back yet?”
The emperor had an impression of Bai Yuchan. The second prince's mother had wanted to make her her daughter-in-law.
Unfortunately, as soon as the news got out, the girl returned to South Town to recuperate.
“Miss Bai faked her own death and escaped without showing up.
The Bai family has been searching for Miss Bai in Nanzhen with great fanfare. No one knows where she has gone, and the servants she brought to Nanzhen also know nothing about it.
There was a flood at sea a few days ago, and some people said that Miss Bai was buried at the bottom of the sea.
Some pirates in Nanzhen also disappeared after the flood. The soldiers in Jucheng also went to the pirates' den to search, but found nothing. "
That place is not close to the capital, and the news was only received recently.
News from Yanzhou, Mingzhou and Lianzhou spread the fastest.
These three state capitals are where the princes live, and most of the spies are concentrated in these three places.
The emperor nodded and gave another instruction, "If there is a war over there, report it in time. Also urge the reconstruction of the capital and the imperial palace to be completed as soon as possible. It would be best if we can move back by the end of the year."
As the emperor's most trusted confidant, Fuqing was the one who handled many matters.
Fortunately, he was loyal and was not won over by others.
"Madam...why don't you go and take a look?" Only Fuqing dared to say this.
"How is she?" The emperor did not move, but just asked.
"I'm no longer looking for death, and I can still eat a lot every day. Now when I have free time, I'm making underwear for you. But other masters always want to come over and see the real face of the lady."
Ever since the disaster in the capital, the emperor has not been anywhere except to Madam Yinzhuang's place.
For some concubines who lost their sons, the emperor only gave them some things to comfort them.
"What has happened to Concubine Lian again?"
"It was indeed the Imperial Concubine who instigated this. I have already prevented a lot of trouble for Madam, but it still requires your word to stop."
Fuqing has always been clear-headed, otherwise he would not have stayed by the emperor's side for so many years.
Madam Yinzhuang is the one the emperor cares about the most. What's more, the healthiest little prince now was also born to Madam Yinzhuang. This kind of affection is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Those concubines in the harem who want to use shady tricks are definitely making a wrong calculation.
"Fuqing, keep an eye on that side. I won't go there. Go and call the generals in to discuss matters."
......
Prince Li's army has reached Prince Ming's territory.
This news alarmed King Ming.
Now the army of King Ming has come to fight.
"Still no news about Jinhua?" King Ming was sitting in the study, extremely anxious.
His guard Huaisha also had a tense face. "Your Highness, there was only news from half a month ago. After that, Commander Jinhua seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. I don't know what happened. There has been no news since then."
"Do you know where those people came from? Are they the emperor's men or Prince Li's men?"
The Ming King sat at the top with a frown on his face.
Originally, the famine in Mingzhou was not severe and the people were living fairly well.
Nowadays, when a war breaks out, everyone has to serve in the military. The population here is already small, and I don’t know how many people will be reduced.
"It has been confirmed that those people are Prince Li's men, but I don't know why they are like this."
Huaisha didn't dare to express his doubts and just pretended not to know.
"Why? Prince Li just can't stand seeing me do well! When we were both princes, he wanted to suppress me. Now that we each have our own territories, he still wants me to respect him. We are all royal children, why should I respect him!"
King Ming's tone was somewhat cold and he did not mention anything about what happened in Lingzhou.
"Where's Jin Yue? Has he arrived there?"
He did play some tricks on Prince Li, and he knew he had been exposed.
Ever since Mr. Chen, who was sent by Prince Li, escaped for no reason, he knew that the secret would be leaked one day.
Fortunately, we were prepared and not in a hurry.
They also have many soldiers and generals in Mingzhou and are not afraid of them.
"We in Mingzhou are all elite soldiers and generals. There are no external enemies in Lianzhou. How could they possibly defeat our troops?"
Huaisha didn't know what King Ming was worried about and could only comfort him with words.
"Commander Jin Yue has arrived, and there will be news tomorrow. Commander Jin Yue is a veteran of many battles, so it won't take long. We can even fight a protracted war."
Prince Ming nodded, "Indeed, I was worrying too much. This time, I will let Prince Li have a taste of my power. I am not that easy to bully. There is no need to pay too much attention to the capital. The emperor can't take care of us and will go to Lianzhou to investigate the situation."
No matter how chaotic the outside world is, it has no impact on Wujiyuan at all.
Today is the day when Zhou Yue'e recognizes her relatives. She becomes a member of the Bai family's eldest branch, is included in the Bai family's genealogy, and is officially renamed Bai Yue'e.
The Zhou and Bai families had a simple meal and that was the end of the ceremony.
"Take action at night?" Bai Yue'e asked quietly.
