Shen Yi sent back the news of Ye Zhen's search all the way to the capital, even though he couldn't find the empress, he still wanted to let the emperor know the secret code left by the empress.
Murong Zhan has already ordered the army to be reorganized, and he wants to march in person.
Almost no one in the court was in favor of Mo Rongzhan's expedition, even Xu Lao expressed his opposition.
The war between Jin Kingdom and Northwest China this time is no small matter. The most important thing is that the emperor does not have a prince yet, so there must be no risk. It is no problem to send troops to support the wilderness, but the emperor cannot personally conquer.
"Your Majesty, please take back your order." Huo Shan knelt down, "I would like to lead the troops to support General Ye. Your Majesty must stay in the capital and cannot conscript himself."
"The alliance between the two countries in the Northwest is no small matter. The emperor must sit in the capital and must not take risks."
Everyone knelt down, Lu Shiming glanced around, and knelt down, he knew that the reason why the emperor wanted to conscript himself was to save Yaoyao himself, but Yaoyao should be taken to Xiliang at this time, the emperor If you want to save her, you must try to defeat the two armies in the Northwest. This cannot be done in a day or two.
With such serious external troubles, the most fearful thing is that there will be more internal troubles.
Once the emperor leaves Kyoto...
Lu Shiming didn't dare to imagine what might happen.
Murong Zhan looked at all the courtiers with a stern face, and said in a deep voice, "My queen was taken away from the capital by the Xiliang Witch King, and I must go to bring her back in person. The Northwest coalition army is not terrible, and I have my own way Handle."
"Your Majesty!" Huo Shan shouted.
"I've made up my mind!" Mo Rongzhan said flatly, "What about the Northwest coalition forces? Do I want to hide in the palace because of them?"
Seeing that Mo Rongzhan would not change his mind, Mr. Xu said, "Your Majesty, since the Northwest is an alliance, Dongqing is our ally country. If they can help, we can be more confident. Why don't we send them immediately?" The envoys went to Dongqing to ask their emperor to send troops to support them."
Murong Zhan said, "Emperor Dongqing will send General Cui to the wasteland to join forces with our army against Beiming and Xiliang."
With Dong Qingguo's help, Jinguo is more confident.
Lu Shiming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he knew that there was nothing to worry about with Ye Yiqing in Dongqing.
After retiring from the court, Mo Rongzhan sent people to take the queen mother back to the palace, and called the cabinet ministers to the imperial study. He would go to the wasteland for at least a few months, and he had to hand over all the affairs of the capital to the cabinet.
However, it is not enough to hand over all state affairs to the cabinet. When encountering more important matters, they still have to go through the Queen Mother's Phoenix Seal to be effective.
The queen mother was taken back to the palace before the sun went down. On the way, she had learned that Ye Zhen was taken away by the Xiliang Witch King. She thought it was God helping her. She also heard that the emperor wanted to personally conquest, so she returned to the palace immediately. So I went to Qianqing Palace to find Mo Rongzhan.
"The Ai family does not allow you to conquest yourself. What is the wasteland? You are the king of a country, how can you go there?" The queen mother asked angrily, because of Lu Yaoyao, does he even want the throne
Murong Zhan just ordered Huo Shan to prepare food and grass. He glanced at the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I will leave tomorrow, so there is no need to talk about this matter. I have to leave the affairs of the palace to you."
The queen mother said angrily, "Isn't it just a woman, is it worth your desperation?"
"My personal enlistment is not only for Yaoyao, but also for the Kingdom of Jin. What's more, even if I go to save Yaoyao, it's only natural, she has my child!" Murong Zhan said in a deep voice.
Even if Lu Yaoyao was pregnant, so what, if she was arrested and taken to Xiliang, whether she could come back alive was one thing, would the child in her womb be born safely? Maybe it will be gone before we reach Xiliang.
The queen mother knew that she could not say such things in front of Murong Zhan, she looked at him angrily, "Do you know how dangerous this is? I heard that the wasteland is a place where no grass can grow, and you can't even drink water. You are pampered Your Majesty is no longer the former King of Qin."
Mo Rongzhan raised his eyes and looked at her, "Mother, even though I am the emperor, my world was fought from the wasteland and from the battlefield. When I was fighting outside, let alone water, I could even drink blood. You Do you think I have any hardships that I haven't suffered?"
The queen mother was stunned for a moment, she didn't know what kind of life this son had lived on the battlefield before, thinking that he was a prince after all, and others would not treat him badly.
"Send the Empress Dowager back to the Palace of Compassion." Murong Zhan didn't want the Empress Dowager to know how he lived on the battlefield before. She and Murong Yi didn't live as well as anyone else in the palace, but compared to him on the battlefield, they had already Is in heaven.
"Are you really determined to go out?" the Queen Mother asked in a low voice.
Mo Rongzhan nodded firmly, "No one can change my decision."
The queen mother took a deep breath, "Alright, the Ai family wants you to agree to one thing."
"What's the matter?" Mo Rongzhan asked.
"Let Ah Yi come back immediately, you are not in the capital, he must stay with Ai's family, and... just in case." The queen mother said, but she did not dare to look directly at Murong Zhan's stern face.
Mo Rongzhan slowly raised his head to look at her. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the queen mother in front of him was a little strange. How could his mother not understand, not to mention so many things happened in this year, he knew very well what the queen mother said. What means.
Does he still have to leave a will for her
"Mother, you go back." Murongzhan felt something loose in his heart, as if he felt relieved all of a sudden, and finally there was no more burden, "I will send someone to send Ah Yi back to accompany you."
The queen mother moved her lips a few times, seeing Murong Zhan's indifferent and distant appearance, she finally said nothing, "Okay."
Eunuch Fu, who had been standing by the side all the time, glanced quietly at Murong Zhan, feeling really worthless for the emperor in his heart. At this time, the Queen Mother was still thinking about the little prince.
Isn't the emperor her son? He recalled what happened when the emperor was a child, it seemed that whenever the empress dowager made trouble, it was the emperor who came out to suffer for her.
The Empress Dowager left Qianqing Palace, Mo Rongzhan pondered for a moment, and finally stood up from behind the table, "Where is Xiaoqi?"
Xiao Qi? That white wolf? Eunuch Fu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty raised Xiao Qi in the hunting ground in the palace, Your Majesty, will the servant send someone to bring Xiao Qi here?"
"That's the wolf king, not everyone can bring it here." Murong Zhan said softly, walking outside, he wanted to take Xiao Qi to the wilderness.
It is so spiritual, knowing that Yaoyao is its previous owner, then it can also find Ye Zhen for him this time.
Eunuch Fu asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Empress has two court ladies with good skills, and they begged to find the Empress together."
Both Hongying and Jianjia know martial arts, and they both want to go to Xiliang.
"Well, let them follow that wolf." Murong Zhan nodded.
