Chapter 139 Declaration
"Failed again?" Chu Mingxuan couldn't help but said: "We have already lost two games. Is this the third game?"
"A military town has been captured." Chu Zhiyao said slowly with a heavy face: "This has completely broken through the northern defense, and we are in big trouble!"
"Tenth Brother should have taken action long ago!" Chu Mingxuan snorted: "Those old guys in the court are worried about this and that every day, for fear that Tenth Brother will rebel, and they don't even think about how Tenth Brother could do this!"
"Uncle Eighteen, be careful!" Chu Zhiyuan said hurriedly.
Chu Mingxuan curled his lips and said: "They are just an excuse. In fact, they are fighting for power. They are afraid that the power in their hands will be taken away. Who doesn't know who it is, but they have to use the excuse of thinking about their father to make a high-sounding statement!"
"If the troops in the northwest are mobilized..." Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Uncle Eighteen, otherwise we should wait a little longer."
Chu Mingxuan was puzzled, but then his face changed slightly, and he understood what Chu Zhiyuan meant.
He originally went to the northwest, but now he has gone to the north.
The northern border is now the most dangerous.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "If it really doesn't work, you should find a way to change it and join the Supervision Department."
It would be inappropriate for a prince to join the Zhenwu Division, but it would be fine if he joined the Supervision Division. Some of them are arranged by the local government.
"You can't change it." Chu Mingxuan said helplessly: "Once you decide, you can't change it."
"It all depends on people." Chu Zhiyuan said: "Otherwise, how about joining the Ministry of Etiquette and becoming a colleague with me?"
"Rules are rules, they can't be changed." Chu Mingxuan sighed.
It's not that he never changed his mind, but when he mentioned it to the emperor, he was directly rejected by the emperor, saying that as a man of the Chu family, he had to walk the path he chose, gritting his teeth and kneeling down.
This eliminates the possibility of change.
"Otherwise, let Uncle Ten talk about it."
"This..."
"If Uncle Ten really wants to send troops, the emperor's grandfather must give him this face, right?"
"...Okay, I'll give it a try." Chu Mingxuan chuckled and said, "If you really want the Ministry of Etiquette, I will be your assistant minister and your boss."
"That couldn't be better." Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
——
Chu Zhiyuan left Mingwu Hall.
Meditate as you walk.
In his mind, he was recalling the situation of fighting Chu Qingfeng, recalling the changes in Chu Qingfeng's super-sensory insight, and the mysteries of the great master.
The Qi of the Grand Master is spiritual energy, which contains spiritual power based on Gang Qi.
Therefore, as soon as Gang Qi comes into contact with Spiritual Qi, you will immediately become trance-like and affected by it.
The Qingying Sword can calm the mind and calm the mind, and it can work wonders at this time to avoid being affected by spiritual energy to the greatest extent.
No matter how powerful the arrow is, it will be of no use if it does not hit the target.
No matter how powerful, pure or powerful the Grandmaster's Gang Qi is, when faced with the spiritual energy, it is like a blind man swinging a sword, with no power at all.
Without the Qingying Sword, he would probably have controlled the Gang Qi to hit the void instead of Chu Qingfeng.
When a Grandmaster fights against a Grandmaster, the victory or defeat is often only in an instant. How can one win by hitting the void?
If the spiritual power of Chu Qingfeng's Gang Qi were eliminated, the difference in power would not be as big as imagined, just like the difference between rain and waterfall.
There is a difference in power, but there is no qualitative difference.
Then he sighed again.
This is only possible because he has the super sense, the thought of the divine dragon, and the Qingying Sword. Otherwise, he would have no power to fight back.
After all, the Grand Master still has the power to crush the Grand Master.
His footsteps were slow, and he arrived outside Duke Anguo's mansion unknowingly.
As soon as the concierge of Anguo Gong's Mansion saw him, he immediately rushed in to report.
After a while, Xiao Ruoyu hurried over.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" He asked in confusion.
Wearing a blue outfit, there was sweat on his forehead, and his face was rosy. He was obviously practicing vigorously.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Come here to see my father-in-law, are you back?"
Xiao Ruoyu looked up at the bright sunshine: "Come back soon."
After going to court, An Guogong would go back to his residence for a meal, and then walk to the Ministry of Rites to eat. At noon, he would either come back or go to a restaurant with his colleagues.
Same thing at night. This breakfast is most definitely what I will eat in the house.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Then let's have breakfast together."
"Dad must be happy," Xiao Ruoyu said, "Eldest sister is in the back garden. Come into the house quickly."
Father prefers to get along with the prince than his biological son.
——
Xiao Ruoyu brought Chu Zhiyuan to the back garden and found Xiao Ruoling sitting in a small pavilion on the Qijue rockery.
On the stone table of the small pavilion, there is a small red clay stove with white steam emitting from it.
She sat motionless at the stone table, dressed in lavender palace clothes, with her hands in a mudra, and she looked like a fairy from the world.
Xiao Ruoyu raised her voice and said: "Sister, the Crown Prince is here."
Xiao Ruoling opened her bright eyes, looked over with her deep and blurred eyes, smiled sweetly, and her face was dazzling.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and hugged his fists.
Xiao Ruoling smiled sweetly and said: "Come in."
Two little maids were leaning against the red pillars of the small pavilion, staring at Chu Zhiyuan with smiles.
Seeing Chu Zhiyuan looking over, they saluted abruptly: "I've met my uncle."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, floated to the small pavilion, and sat opposite Xiao Ruoling.
Xiao Ruoyu said: "Sister, please talk. I'm going to practice first. I'm still a little short. If I delay further, I won't have time to eat."
Xiao Ruoling waved her jade hands.
Just as the two were about to talk, a little maid came running from a distance and said that the Duke of Guo was back from the court.
So a group of people rushed to the front.
……
While Chu Zhiyuan was eating, he talked to Xiao Youping about the affairs in the court.
"This time it's a big defeat." Xiao Youping looked heavy and sighed: "We lost a whole town and completely opened up the defense line. The impact is too bad!"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Do you want to be punished?"
"Zhenyuan Commander-in-Chief Li Haoyuan takes the lock back to Beijing!" Xiao Youping said solemnly: "Prince Ying takes command of the northern border!"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Finally let Uncle Ten go to the north."
"If the court hadn't delayed like this, this third defeat might not have come." Xiao Youping snorted: "These people in the dynasty are all sinners!"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "The emperor's grandfather didn't punish them?"
"I scolded you a lot." Xiao Youping snorted: "I lost my temper, I was really pissed off."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Li Haoyuan is good at defense, so he shouldn't have this big defeat, right?"
In fact, this was the emperor's fault, and it was thrown onto the ministers.
"It is said that the chaos was caused by spies." Xiao Youping sighed: "There is something wrong with Li Haoyuan's pillow, and there is collusion between inside and outside... This time, his sin is unavoidable!"
His face was gloomy and he said coldly: "The neglect of guarding against the inner house caused Dajing to lose at least a thousand cavalry!"
Chu Zhiyuan looked solemn: "More than a thousand people?"
"At least one thousand." Xiao Youping said: "The number of casualties plus those taken away is definitely no less than one thousand. These generals outside are good at understatement and reported a hundred, but as far as the emperor knows, it is at least one thousand!"< br>
Chu Zhiyuan's face was heavy.
More than a thousand cavalry may not sound like much at first, but you must know that these cavalry are not ordinary cavalry. They are all veterans who have been trained hard and tempered on the battlefield.
It hurts to lose one person, but to lose a thousand at once.
There are only two thousand elite cavalry in a town. If they lose one thousand, they almost lose their combat effectiveness and can only withdraw from the battlefield.
So the town was taken.
"This time the Zhenwu Department will be dispatched, as well as the Ministry of Rites," Xiao Youping looked at Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan was startled and couldn't help but said: "Is there nothing wrong with me?"
Xiao Youping said slowly: "You will represent the Ministry of Rites and go to the north to announce the decree."
Chu Zhiyuan was stunned.
