As expected by Shen Qianshan, although Su Jingxian seemed a bit careless on weekdays, after sitting on the throne, he really became diligent and thrifty and loved the people. He had to admit that he was indeed a good emperor, so this matter this time may still be a problem. Only by catching Su Jingxian's power can he do it for himself.
Su Jingxian had received a lot of care from him when he was in Bei'an in the early years, so even if he was in Nanqi at that time and he had helped him so much, if something happened to him, Su Jingxian would still support him without hesitation. I, the same goes for today's matter. Without his help, I might not be able to do it at all.
Su Jingxian had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable. Most of the ministers looked at him as a problem. If this war could lead to a draw or some kind of agreement between the two sides, it might not be a good thing for Su Jingxian. A bad thing can even help him gain authority in the government.
Shen Qianshan had already thought about this matter, so he explained it to Su Jingxian in detail in the letter. He and Su Jingxian had known each other for so many years, and it was impossible for him to harm him.
Shen Qianshan wrote a letter. In order to ensure safety, he chose to let An Ye take it to Su Jingxian. A few days after the letter was sent, there was indeed movement on the other side of the border.
Shen Qianshan knew that Su Jingxian generally had no doubts about what he said, but he didn't expect that he would move so fast. The time he estimated might be longer, but such a matter could be resolved early. The benefits of early resolution.
The battle report from the border pass came back a little later than An Ye, so Shen Qianshan actually knew about it the night before, but Huang Hao only found out about it early the next morning when the urgent report from the border pass came over. knew.
"What should we do? If our opponent this time is still the Xiliang Kingdom, maybe our chances of winning are better, but this time it is Southern Qi..." Huang Hao is indeed a little worried about this matter. He has been on the battlefield for so many years. , I have never seen a war between two equally powerful countries on the border. Nan Qi didn't know what was going on. Why did it suddenly appear on the border of Bei'an
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Although Shen Qianshan knew what was going on, Huang Hao was too naive after all. He didn't even dare to tell him about his identity, so how could he dare to tell him about it
Now he could only pretend to be ignorant. From the perspective of an ignorant person, he must have asked Huang Hao to tell Shen Zhongbai about such a major event.
He couldn't let others see that he had known about this matter for a long time, so he had to behave very naturally, "Since things have developed to this point, it is not a big deal to always be like this. Why not report it directly to the emperor?" , let the emperor send people to go on an expedition?"
Shen Qianshan knew that there would be almost no casualties on the battlefield this time, but if it could be avoided as much as possible, he didn't want to be like this. Su Jingxian probably knew that if Shen Zhongbai sent himself to fight in the border this time, Then the matter would be easier to solve.
If they can handle this matter this time, they won't have to worry so much about how to settle Qian'er's identity as soon as possible, and Qian'er won't put so much pressure on herself.
In fact, Huang Hao was not very thoughtful, and he completely believed in Feng Yao, so he never doubted what he said. After Shen Qianshan proposed the corresponding solution, he quickly agreed. After all, such a major matter was not something that the two generals could have the final say on. It had to be approved by the emperor.
"However, if a war really breaks out, the odds of winning are actually not great. Although Nan Qi has just changed its emperor, this does not mean that the people of Southern Qi are soft persimmons. If a war really breaks out, even if We have deployed all our national troops, so the two countries are probably evenly matched, and no one has any advantage, so I simply don’t understand why they would take the initiative to provoke."
Huang Hao still felt strange about this matter, but it was written in black and white on the battle report that it was indeed the other party who provoked him first. Is it possible that the new emperor of Southern Qi is so brainless? It is really irrational to deliberately break this superficial peace.
"This is not something we can guess. After all, we don't know what the situation is over there. As ministers and generals, all we can do is to truthfully report the situation at the border to the emperor. As for what should be done, We still have to ask the Emperor to decide how to do it, and the next thing to be done is not something that a few of us can have the final say on."
Shen Qianshan was already worried that this matter could not make a bigger fuss. The momentum must be built up enough before Shen Zhongbai would give up on forcing Qian'er to marry him. At this stage, he had not yet thought of using anything to threaten Qian'er. Son, if he waits until he is really free and thinks of a worse idea, it will be too late.
After Huang Hao listened to Shen Qianshan's words, he also understood what he meant, so the two of them tidied up a little and went to the palace together. When generals have urgent reports at the border, they don't need to pass them in advance. They entered the palace to meet the emperor, so the two of them entered the palace very smoothly, and there was no need to worry about anything else.
This is what Shen Qianshan wants. If he goes alone, it will inevitably arouse Shen Qianshan's suspicion. Rather than doing this, it is better for the two of them to go together. Compared to himself, Shen Zhongbai has always been more Trust Huang Hao. After all, Huang Hao has a simple mind. What Shen Zhongbai's world needs most is this kind of person who can be exploited.
After Shen Zhongbai heard the news, he frowned. After all, he had never had any dispute with Nan Qi. Why did Nan Qi suddenly do such a thing
He has had quite a lot of things on his hands recently, so after hearing the news, he inevitably started to frown. There have been so many things recently, and it is difficult for him to continue to bear it. All of a sudden I was also a little irritated, especially after seeing Feng Yao, who seemed to have a good relationship with Gu Qiang on weekdays.
"Why is such a big thing not reported until now?"
"Back to the Emperor, we only got the news about this matter this morning, so we came here to inform the Emperor now and ask for His forgiveness."
Shen Qianshan didn't want Huang Hao to be blamed for his own affairs, so he explained the matter, but he didn't expect that this explanation would arouse Shen Zhongbai's suspicion.
Shen Zhongbai really wanted to know who Feng Yao, whose origin was unknown, was Sheng Fang. Not to mention that he had such a powerful talent, but he was still willing to settle for such a meager and low-level position as a military commander. Even if he is today That kind of behavior had to make Shen Zhongbai suspicious.
Gu Qiang and Gu Huaian had always been in close contact with Feng Yao, and with the addition of Gusu Liang, the relationship between them made me very suspicious. From the beginning to the end, I felt that I had never completely trusted Feng Yao, but at this moment, I knew Gu Qiang's true identity.
If Feng Yao also knew Gu Qiang's true identity from the beginning, then this Feng Yao's identity is really questionable.
But this Feng Yao is so good in every aspect. If her identity is really her imperial uncle, how could she still be willing to surrender and help her do so many things after knowing that she sent people out to hunt him down? What about the matter
Shen Zhongbai couldn't make up his mind for a moment. This person's identity was too dangerous for him, and he didn't need to be a suspect. But for Feng Yao, no matter how many people he sent out to investigate his background, there was no result. Feng Yao Yao said that he left home when he was young, which makes sense, but Feng Yao was so perfect that he inexplicably felt oppressed, just like when he faced his imperial uncle.
When Shen Zhongbai thought of this, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure in his heart. After taking the medicine Gu Huaian prescribed for him last time, his physical condition did seem to improve. However, not long after he stopped taking the medicine, the previous A state of exhaustion and weakness seems to have begun to appear again.
After all, now that there is an urgent battle report at the border, Shen Zhongbai cannot sit idly by and ignore Feng Yao. Since Feng Yao makes him so uneasy, he might as well take this opportunity to test him. After all, such opportunities do not come often. If he can take advantage of this After a war, it would be a good thing for me to see if he had second thoughts, or if he could find out his identity.
"Five thousand? Are you really sure that's what the emperor said at that time?" Huang Hao couldn't believe his ears. He knew best what kind of military strength Nan Qi had. But if he really did this, then the two would not be evenly matched. In disputes with other countries, the other party unilaterally crushes them.
The person who came to deliver the message had never seen anyone as fierce as Huang Hao. On weekdays, when he came to deliver the message, even if it was a battle report, the other party had to be polite to him. If it was good news, he had to give him some. Rewards, when have you ever seen such a situation
"General Huang, what I am wearing is the emperor's imperial edict. How could there be any mistake? The emperor has already said that General Feng will lead five thousand elite troops to the battlefield to repel the enemy. There must be no mistake in setting off today."
