The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 770: report in the future
Chapter 770: Report Back Later
The prince clenched his fists and nodded, willingly admitting his fault, with an extremely respectful attitude: “Prime Minister Lu is right! So I… am trying to make amends.”
Quan Yu looked at the prince. He had followed the prince for so many years, but he had never seen the prince take care of anyone other than His Majesty and Mr. Fang.
I didn’t expect that I would have to bear such a heavy responsibility for taking responsibility for the Princess Zhenguo this time.
Quan Yu understood that the prince remembered Bai Qingyan’s loyalty in his heart, so he protected her in this way. He breathed a sigh of relief. He finally did not say the wrong thing in front of the prince and did not make the prince lose his trust in Princess Zhenguo.
Seeing the Crown Prince sincerely admitting his mistake, Prime Minister Lu did not hold on to him and said, “For now, we can no longer care whether the court officials are dissatisfied. Everyone in the court knows that the Princess Zhenguo is weak after blocking the arrow for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Isn’t it right to send soldiers to fight for the country? How can Li Mingrui be as strong as the Princess Zhenguo? Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to worry about the criticism of the court officials. He should consider the overall situation and put state affairs first. If anyone talks about this, I will be the first to disagree! Let him come and argue with me first!”
Prime Minister Lu admires the Bai family, but he also feels sorry for them.
No matter men or women, all the people in the Bai family are upright and strong.
“What Prime Minister Lu said is very true. Let’s report this to our father at the morning court today!” said the prince.
The Crown Prince, together with Lu Xiang, the Minister of War Shen Jingzhong, the Minister of Revenue Chu Zhongxing, and Fan Yuhuai, left the Crown Prince’s Mansion and went to the morning court.
The prince had a lot to say, but the emperor did not come to the morning court this morning.
The emperor seemed to be ready to ask the question in depth, but now that the crown prince was in power and the military situation was urgent, the crown prince immediately ordered the Anping army to be dispatched to meet up with Princess Zhenguo and to obey Princess Zhenguo’s orders.
Lu Xiang, Shen Jingzhong, Chu Zhongxing, and Fan Yuhuai took the lead in agreeing, and even Zhen Zeping seconded the proposal. The left prime minister Li Mao was stunned, but when he saw Chu Zhongxing’s eye signal, he also hurriedly followed suit.
On August 22, the 17th year of Xuanjia, Princess Bai Qingyan, who had been bedridden for nearly a year and on the verge of life and death several times, put on armor and took sword and led her troops to the battle. The Crown Prince of Jin dispatched the Anping camp to meet up with the 5,000 Shuoyang soldiers led by Princess Zhenguo. Food and medicine were prepared overnight and followed closely.
When the Liang court heard the news, everyone was shocked.
Seeing the old emperor sitting on the dragon throne, who was already old and in poor complexion, the officials of Daliang stepped forward and stood in the center of the hall with a shiny floor. After solemnly saluting the emperor, they said: “Although the Princess of Jin is famous, her body can no longer hold on. Our spies have reported several times this year, saying that the Princess will not survive. The Crown Prince of Jin forced the Princess to come out this time. It seems that… Now our Liang army is so arrogant that it has indeed defeated Jin and had to send a dying person to resist our Daliang generals! I think the so-called God of Death Princess… will not return from Daliang this time! Your Majesty, don’t worry!”
When Emperor Liang heard the courtier’s words, he let out a long breath, adjusted his sitting posture, leaned against his hidden bag, and felt that what he said made sense.
Zhao Sheng, who was once captured alive by the Jin army and was released after peace talks, gritted his teeth, took a step forward and said to Emperor Liang: “Your Majesty, this Zhenguo Princess is not only brave and invincible, but also has superb military skills on the battlefield. She should not be underestimated. Even if the Zhenguo Princess is weak and not suitable for fighting, she can still make plans for the Jin army. Your Majesty, don’t forget… It was this Zhenguo Princess and Liu Hong, the commander of the Jin State, who defeated our Liang army!”
“Heh… General Zhao has been captured alive by the Jin army. Let the Jin army cut off his gallbladder!” Someone in the Liang court mocked Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng looked back at the civil servant who looked unconvinced, knelt down and saluted Emperor Liang, and said, “Please allow your majesty to send Zhao Sheng and the Zhao army to rush to the rescue. Zhao Sheng has fought with the Princess Zhenguo and was defeated by her! Now the most important natural barrier of our Daliang, Qingxi Mountain Pass, is in the hands of the Jin army! The Princess Zhenguo of Jin has also led her troops to the Qingxi Mountain Pass. If the Princess Zhenguo arrives… and wants to take back the Qingxi Mountain Pass, the manpower and material resources required by our Daliang will be even greater! Zhao Sheng dares to guarantee this time that if he fails to take back the Qingxi Mountain Pass, he will be beheaded!”
Zhao Sheng kowtowed solemnly and swore an oath.
Ever since Zhao Sheng went to war with General Xun Tianzhang and was defeated and captured by the Jin army, he has never been employed by Emperor Liang again. This time is Zhao Sheng’s chance, and he must seize it even if he dies, otherwise he is afraid that he will never have the chance to lead troops to war again in his life!
If a military commander cannot lead his troops to war, but is idle in the capital all day, living a lazy life with a salary as a white-collar worker, how can he be worthy of his parents for giving birth to him?
As a military general, one should either fight in battles and achieve countless military exploits throughout his life like his grandfather, or die on the battlefield like General Xun Tianzhang.
Moreover, the Qingxi Mountain Pass is the last dangerous pass of Daliang. If it is really captured by the State of Jin, the Jin army will be able to break through the gates and go straight to Hancheng, the capital of Daliang.
Prime Minister Liang Ting looked at Zhao Sheng who was actually kowtowing to Emperor Liang, stepped forward and said to Emperor Liang: “Your Majesty, the Princess Zhenguo should not be underestimated. The only general in Liang Ting who has fought against the Princess Zhenguo is General Zhao Sheng. For the sake of safety… this old minister begs Your Majesty to allow General Zhao to lead the Zhao family army to rush to the rescue!”
“Your Majesty, there is an epidemic in Daliang now, and the doctors are at a loss. There is a war outside, and the national treasury can’t afford it!” The Minister of Revenue hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the emperor. “It’s easy to say that we will go to war, but we always need money and food! Now… the epidemic is not under control, and even our capital, Hancheng, has been infected! I risk my life to advise you… Your Majesty should put aside your hatred, negotiate peace with Jin, and get the prescription to control the epidemic first. This is the best policy! Otherwise, if you only care about war and ignore the lives of the people, and the people are infected with the epidemic and die, this country… can it still be called a country?”
Emperor Liang’s favorite son was originally going to go to the State of Jin to negotiate peace, but he died at the hands of the Jin army. How could Emperor Liang not hate him!
He was eager for revenge, so when the State of Jin sent envoys to negotiate peace with a prescription for curing the plague, Emperor Liang ignored the envoys and executed them to show his determination to fight to the death to avenge his son.
“Father!” The chubby Third Prince of Emperor Liang knelt in the hall, sweat on his forehead and his body trembling barely perceptibly. “I, your son, dare to ask you to bear the humiliation for now and bear the great hatred for my fourth brother. I will take revenge another day! Father, you are my fourth brother’s father, but you are also the father of the people of Daliang. You are the heaven of the people of Daliang and you have to care about the lives of the people of Daliang! You cannot forget the lives of the people of Daliang because of personal grudges. The people are innocent!”
