Chapter 109 Prince Bai Yueguang will never die early
The prince's wedding should have been a cause of national celebration.
Feng Leyao is preparing for her wedding beautifully in the princess's mansion.
After today, she will become her Crown Princess again.
But this time Jiang Rou was not standing between them.
The prince's wedding procession rode through the long street, with the sound of firecrackers popping in the background.
Because of the prince's wedding, all the people in the city came out to join in the fun, but the crowd was dispersed by an urgent letter that traveled eight hundred miles.
"Get out of the way. We are rushing for 800 miles. Anyone who dares to block the way will be charged with treason."
The messenger was covered in dust and was riding a thousand-mile horse. When he jumped off in front of the palace gate, the horse fell down with a thud, foaming at the mouth and dying of exhaustion.
"Report! The Hu people on the border launched a surprise attack. The He family father and son fell into a trap and their lives are unknown. The He family army lost more than half of its troops and the city was lost."
In one sentence, the joyous atmosphere was completely destroyed.
He Congling nearly fell down the stairs.
The prince, whose wedding was supposed to be completed with complicated rituals, was summoned into the palace after a hasty ceremony, leaving Feng Leyao alone in her empty room.
Jiang Rou was extremely anxious at home.
Xiaosong didn't watch the gate today. He just sat there guarding the yard in silence.
Just when Jiang Rou was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, Xiao Lingxuan suddenly knocked on the door of the Jiang Mansion.
At this time Jiang Cheng had been summoned to the palace.
Xiao Lingxuan came in without any hindrance, and it was Ganlu who opened the door for her.
As soon as she came in, she went straight to Jiang Rou.
Jiang Rou was stunned when she saw Xiao Lingxuan: "Princess, are you here to see me?"
Xiao Lingxuan nodded: "Something happened to the He family, I'm afraid you'll be worried..."
Everyone in the capital city knows that Jiang Rou and He Congling are not real sisters but are better than real sisters.
Jiang Rou said worriedly, "I'm worried about Cong Ling. She has never been a stable person. I'm afraid she will act on impulse. Princess, can you take me to the palace to find her?"
Xiao Lingxuan had already thought of this when she came here. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the palace to find her."
On the other side, all civil and military officials above the third rank were summoned to the imperial study.
But now the civil official, Prime Minister Yao, is not here, and the military official...
Feng Dehai walked in trotting with his waist bent, facing everyone's gaze:
"Your Majesty, the general accidentally broke his leg while riding his horse this morning. He is now lying in bed and said... he can't come."
The whole place was in an uproar when these words came out.
"Without even the general here, I'm afraid it's not going to be good."
"What benefit is there? The general broke his leg. Who can go to the front line?"
All civil and military officials of the first rank were absent.
The second and third ranks were running around like headless flies.
The emperor was filled with anger and had no place to vent it.
But he still patiently looked at the group of people below and asked:
"My dear ministers, the situation is serious now. Do you have any solution?"
"This...why don't we send someone to negotiate?"
"How can we talk? Now our border cities are occupied by the Hu people."
"Let's have a marriage! We can send a princess, they will definitely accept it."
Suddenly someone proposed a marriage.
It was like opening up everyone’s Ren and Du meridians.
Everyone began to agree with this plan.
The Crown Prince and the Second Prince said nothing.
The prince was still wearing the auspicious dress he was wearing for his wedding today.
Standing there at this moment, I felt out of place with everyone.
Amidst the voices that are about to reach a consensus.
Jiang Cheng shouted, "No! Your Majesty, this marriage is absolutely not allowed."
As soon as he said this, the emperor was criticized by everyone before he could even say anything.
"Master Jiang is still young and doesn't know the seriousness of the situation. Now is not the time for you to fight and make trouble."
"Sending a princess over there as a marriage partner is the best solution. Does Lord Jiang have any other tricks?"
Jiang Cheng glanced coldly at the two people who were talking, who were two military generals.
"I am sent to protect the country, but I don't know where to find the general."
The two men were immediately embarrassed and their faces turned red.
Another civil official said:
"But now that the general has broken his leg, who can fight the enemy and repel the Hu people?"
"Lord Jiang, patriotism alone is not enough."
“We have no one available.”
Among the military commanders in the capital, no one except the general can take on this important task.
But unfortunately, he broke his leg as soon as he went out.
It's also very ironic.
The other generals were given false titles because of their ancestors' influence. If they were really asked to go into battle and kill the enemy, they would probably be scared to death at the first sight.
The two military officers didn't dare to say a word.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from the door.
"Who said there are no people! Am I not a human being?"
If the person coming is not He Congling, then who else could it be?
The old emperor was having a headache. Seeing that He Congling had no time to deal with her, he waved his hand and asked her to go back.
Feng Dehai was so frightened that he hurried to stop her: "Princess Fu'an, please go back!"
Who knows how He Congling got in.
He Congling stubbornly waved Feng Dehai away and knelt in the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, my He family is full of loyal and brave people. Although I am a woman, my martial arts skills are not inferior to my brother's. I have been influenced by him since I was a child."
Yes, the old emperor just remembered it at this time.
He Congling used to be a willful person. When he came to Beijing at the age of seven or eight, he beat up all the playboys in the capital.
If she weren't a woman, she might have the potential to become a great general.
However, in order to check and balance the He family, and fearing that the He family would become too powerful and forget who they are one day, he kept He Cong Lingju in the palace.
But, is it really possible?
He Congling saw that the old emperor was wavering, so she crouched even lower:
"Your Majesty, now is the time of life and death. Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. Although Cong Ling is a woman, she has been influenced by the He family army since she was a child. Cong Ling is the most suitable. Please approve it, Your Majesty."
He Congling is of course the most suitable one. She is capable and a member of the He family. She can take over the remaining He family troops in the shortest time and integrate the remaining people in a shorter time than others.
This is undoubtedly the most advantageous for the current battlefield.
What's more, he really doesn't have anyone to use.
It was only at this time that the emperor realized that he had actually raised a group of good-for-nothings, and by the time he realized this, it was already too late to save the situation.
He had no one available.
The old emperor seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
"Well, I know you are worried about the front line and the safety of your father and brother. In this case, I will appoint you as the Left General and send you to the front line immediately to fight."
He Congling, who had gotten what he wished for, closed his eyes and kowtowed solemnly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
No one in the court opposed it.
When He Congling walked out, the sun outside had already moved to the west. The sunlight was warm but not dazzling.
She saw Jiang Rou walking towards her slowly.
All the suppressed emotions seemed to have found an outlet the moment he saw Jiang Rou.
She ran over and hugged Jiang Rou tightly.
"Arou."
"I'm here." She patted He Congling's back gently.
When Jiang Rou saw her coming out of the imperial study, she knew that what she had guessed had come true.
If something happens to the He family, He Congling will not sit idly by and wait for death.
