After rebirth, I kidnapped the future powerful official

Concubine Yong thought for a while and replied: "It was in a very remote place in Zhaoming Temple. He was wounded by a sword and stabbed above his heart. Yingying said that if he moved a little further, he would be able to center his heart."

Xu Jiajing stroked his beard and said with emotion: "Guard Huo deserved his life, but he was rescued by the princess."

Princess Yong smiled lightly: "It's just a coincidence."

The two were talking, King Yong had already opened the paper scroll and checked it, his expression gradually turned serious, when Xu Jiajing saw it, he said, "My lord, what's the matter?"

King Yong said in a deep voice: "I gave Huo Jiye to check the news about the Prince's Mansion."

Probably because the news was not good, his face was also a little gloomy, and he said slowly: "The crown prince has united with many ministers, and is going to submit the book to the emperor after the Shangyuan Festival, and let me return to the domain."

"Returning to Fan?!" Xu Jiajing was startled, but soon calmed down again, and said: "The matter of returning to Fan was mentioned the year before last, and the emperor did not agree to it at that time. I think it will be the same this time, so don't worry about it for the time being."

King Yong's brows were still frowning, he twisted the piece of paper, and said: "This time, it's not necessarily the case. Years ago, the enemy invaded and broke two cities in a row. The battle was tight. Father was worried about this for a long time. I Looking at his spirit recently, he seems to be in trouble, but according to the news from the imperial hospital, his father seems to be in poor health recently, and he is taking medicine."

What he hadn't finished, Xu Jiajing understood immediately. Originally, the crown prince and King Yong were at odds with each other, and the two sides checked and balanced. If there is a little more trouble, I'm afraid something will happen.

If the emperor wants to stabilize the situation, letting King Yong return to his vassal is the best way.

King Yong pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "How about the arrangement for Cui Yunhao to enter the military department?"

Xu Jiajing didn't prevent him from mentioning this matter, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "The emperor agreed, but there is one thing, the crown prince also recommended someone to join the military department, and the emperor... also agreed."

King Yong's expression froze immediately. Emperor Yongtai liked to exercise power, and King Yong even had some doubts. If they and the crown prince hadn't placed people in the military department at the same time, Cui Yunhao might not be able to enter the military department either. He suddenly sighed.

"Return to Fan?"

Chu Yingying put down the medical case in her hand, and asked in confusion, "Is it the news from King Yong?"

Cui Yunhao nodded, Chu Yingying thought about it, and said: "I remember that this happened, but the prince's plan never succeeded, and instead he was reprimanded by the emperor."

She suddenly smiled as she spoke, and said to Cui Yunhao: "You can guess, if King Yong doesn't want to return to the vassal, how will he respond?"

Sure enough, Cui Yunhao pondered for a while, and asked tentatively, "Is King Yong seriously ill?"

Chu Yingying nodded with a smile, and said: "King Yong is seriously ill, and many courtiers asked the emperor to let him return to the feudal domain. The emperor immediately reprimanded the crown prince. This plan failed."

She said, paused, and then said: "But this is not the most important thing right now. In a few months, the army will break through two more cities, Louhaiguan will fall, General Pingyuan will die in battle, and the soldiers will retreat to Yuzhou. Connected."

Cui Yunhao was startled, and looked at her in horror: "Yulian Pass is the most important pass in the Central Plains. If it is lost, it will be equivalent to opening the door of our Great Zhou to the enemy."

Chu Yingying nodded, and said: "When the enemy soldiers arrive at Yulian Pass, they will submit letters to our court to ask for tribute. At that time, the courtiers will be divided into two factions, one for war and one for peace."

When she said this, she put down the medical case, looked at Cui Yunhao, and said: "But the whole Ministry of War advocated peace, and the soldiers threatened the lives of the people in the four border cities, so the emperor agreed."

After hearing this, Cui Yunhao shook his head slightly, frowned and said, "This is not right, Rongdi is greedy, so he will definitely not retreat easily."

Chu Yingying said: "So, the horse market was added later. In July, the Minister of the Ministry of War was imprisoned and abandoned the market, and the servants of the Ministry of War were all exiled to the border. In addition, there were many officials who were in charge of peace, more or less If you are implicated, it is a good thing to lose the crown and dismissed."

Her tone was calm and her voice was not loud, but what she said was extremely shocking. Cui Yunhao watched the candlelight dancing in Chu Yingying's clear eyes, as if through those eyes, she could see the old It was bloody.

He pondered sharply in his mind, and said: "But with the emperor's temperament, it is impossible to easily agree to negotiate peace."

But why did you compromise in the end?Cui Yunhao couldn't figure it out, and suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, not because he didn't want to fight, but because he couldn't fight.

He suddenly remembered the case of Cenzhou officials corrupting ink last year. What if the national treasury was short of money and the military salary could not be allocated for the time being, unable to support this long-term war?

At the beginning of this year, the imperial court came to a big reckoning. It is said that because of last year's expenses, the emperor sent off many officials...

In this way, it makes perfect sense. The state treasury of the Great Zhou was short of money, and it could not even support the army’s food and grass. It could only agree to the army’s request for tribute. Since Emperor Tai Gaozu, the army’s enemies have repeatedly invaded the border of the Great Zhou. For hundreds of years, In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no precedent for negotiating peace with the army and the enemy. Emperor Yongtai had always come from the Holy Lord of the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, this incident was simply a stain.

Emperor Yongtai himself could not be wrong, the ones who were wrong were those courtiers who strongly advocated for peace.

Cui Yunhao figured out the key points in an instant, and slowly took a breath. In just a few thoughts, he could almost foresee how dangerous the court situation in the coming year would be!
And he happened to be in the center of the vortex at that time, the Ministry of War.

The burning candle suddenly cracked and burst into a lantern, which was very abrupt in the silent room. Cui Yunhao's eyebrows jumped, and he raised his eyes, facing Chu Yingying's slightly worried eyes.

He smiled, stretched out his hand towards her, and said in a soothing tone, "Yingying."

Chu Yingying handed her hand to him, and Cui Yunhao pulled her into his arms with a little force, hugged her tightly, let out a satisfied sigh, lightly rubbed her black hair, and said: "Yingying ,what are you worried about?"

Chu Yingying shook her head: "No, I'm not worried, I'm just thinking..."

Her voice stopped suddenly, and Cui Yunhao lowered her head in doubt: "Huh? What are you thinking?"

Chu Yingying smiled suddenly, and said, "I'm thinking about how the young Tanhua Cui Lang in his previous life dealt with the court situation this time."

As she spoke, Su Bai's fingers caressed Cui Yunhao's sword eyebrows, her eyes sparkled, and she said, "I don't know how handsome you were at that time? It's a pity. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see you."

After hearing this, Cui Yunhao's eyes filled with infinite tenderness. He moved to Chu Yingying's lips and kissed lightly, with a smile in his eyes: "What's so regretful about this? Am I not in front of you now? Do you want to see Just watch it for as long as you want, until you get tired of seeing Yingying."

Chu Yingying smiled, carefully traced Cui Yunhao's eyebrows and eyes, and said in a low voice: "Why do you get bored? A gentleman's heart is like a concubine's heart, and he lives up to his lovesickness."

After a few days, Prince Yong's Mansion.

A servant girl hurriedly walked, turned around, and almost bumped into a group of people on the opposite side. She exclaimed, and her eyes were covered in purple. Hurry to reincarnate!"

The servant girl immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Madam, please forgive me. It was the servant who was blind and offended Madam."

That woman was Concubine Liu, who was dismissed as a concubine and demoted to a concubine because she angered King Yong. She has always been arrogant, but this servant girl bumped into her again, so how could she let her go easily and scold that servant girl? A bloody head, the little maid was crying and begging for mercy, the skin on her forehead was scratched, blood oozing out, mixed with dust and sand, she looked horrible.
