Chapter 280
Chapter 280
On the day when the army set out, it was freezing cold inside Cuiwei Palace.
The sixth prince had a high fever, and the imperial concubine sent someone to the Wenhua Palace to invite Emperor Wei to come over, but in the end he couldn’t invite anyone.
Of course the imperial concubine could not invite anyone, because the Emperor Wei at this time was not in the Wenhua Palace at all!
After rounds of deliberations, Emperor Wei finally made a decision: raid the capital of Qi, Yingdu!
Therefore, when the army set out, they secretly swore divisions in the outskirts of Weijing. Above the court, the important ministers below a certain level didn’t even know that the army of the Southern Expedition had started on this day.
However, the three armies did not move, and the food and grass went first. All kinds of logistics materials have already been allocated to the front line more than half a month ago.
It’s hard to keep it secret.
After all, there are too many departments to pass through the transportation of materials, and a large number of civilians are needed to cooperate with the transportation. Who can hide such a big movement?
It’s just that ordinary people would never have expected that Emperor Wei would quietly and directly send the army out while posing in a state of indecision and discussing the details of the Southern Expedition over and over again.
Yes, Murong Hong and Feng Kan, the two generals on the surface, are still in the capital and did not set off with the army. Only Prince Xiao Man is the real leader of the expedition!
Murong Hong and Feng Kan turned out to be tools to cover the army at this time.
This can probably be said to be another meaning of Mingxiu plank road, darkly.
Soldiers are expensive, and what Emperor Wei requested this time is that the army go straight to the capital of Qi, occupy the commanding heights of the two countries’ war in one go, and then gradually annex Qi.
As for whether Xiao Man can do this, Emperor Wei has about 50% confidence in this aspect.
This 50% confidence is mainly due to Wei Huang dispatching a large number of elite generals to Xiaoman, like Murong Hong and Feng Kan’s subordinates, who are not so conspicuous and do not need to go to court every day, Wei Huang basically sends them out.
In addition, there are Wei Huang’s secret guards, eunuchs, imperial envoys, and three major supervisors accompanying the prince to protect the prince tightly.
As long as the crown prince is not an idiot, does not command outsiders to order experts, and does not rush indiscriminately, basically this trip is safe. Even if you can’t establish any great achievements, you should at least be able to keep the basic market.
So, what will the prince do?
On Chongming Mountain, Emperor Wei watched the army go far away, and whispered in his mouth: “Aman, I hope you don’t disappoint my father.”
Chang Hong was at the side, and when he heard Wei Huang’s words, he just ignored them.
Following the emperor, when should answer the call, when should be a deaf and dumb, Chang Hong has a steelyard in his heart.
Of course, although he only thinks that he is deaf and dumb, and doesn’t talk too much, but Chang Hong’s mind is spinning rapidly, and he is not idle at all.
He couldn’t help pondering: Does His Majesty hope that His Majesty the Crown Prince will achieve great success, or that His Majesty the Crown Prince will be a little mediocre? Or, because of the Hantan murder in the past, His Majesty is still afraid of the crown prince?
Alas, I don’t understand, or how can I say that the king’s heart is unpredictable!
The prince occupies the status and righteousness, if it is not for the problem of killing people without knowing when, or if he is mediocre, so what? It is simply impossible for His Majesty to change the crown prince at will!
But the prince has a hidden disease, which is really a big problem. I hope the crown prince will not get sick again, and he will live like this smoothly. After a period of time, maybe Wei Huang will no longer care about his previous illness.
From Chang Hong’s point of view, although he is not a princeling, he actually doesn’t want too much turmoil in the crown prince’s position.
It’s not that Chang Hong wants to lean towards Xiaoman, it’s mainly because he, as the current emperor’s valet, has no way to advance or move. That being the case, of course he hopes that everything will be safe and the best. But don’t change the whole palace at the end of the day, don’t move anything, and don’t violently seize the heir, this is Chang Hong’s greatest wish.
Chang Hong’s thoughts are not revealed, and Wei Huang’s thoughts are even more unpredictable. But in Cuiwei Palace, Wei Huang’s noble concubine was not invited, but he was almost mad with anger.
“Ah!” she screamed angrily.
Bang bang bang bang, another pile of porcelain was smashed to the ground.
“Minghua! Minghua!” the imperial concubine shouted with red eyes.
Misty, a shadow suddenly popped up from the corner, and it was the low and magnetic male voice: “Ma’am, I’m here.”
The noble concubine rushed over, and unexpectedly embraced the shadow with outstretched arms. It was obviously a vague shadow, but when the imperial concubine hugged him, he seemed to really exist.
It turns out that this shadow is not a real phantom, but his shape is special, which looks amazing!
“Minghua…” the noble concubine said sadly, “I hate it, I hate it so much! Back then he broke us up and forced me into the palace, but now he treats my child poorly and doesn’t take our mother and daughter seriously! It’s for that evil, for that evil!”
Shadow was held in the arms of the noble concubine, and he remained motionless, as if restrained.
After the imperial concubine finished speaking angrily, he whispered again: “Your Majesty, don’t be angry, he…will die soon.”
The imperial concubine said bitterly: “No, it’s not enough! I want to be faster, faster, I can’t wait any longer, I can’t bear it! Minghua, I have endured it for eighteen years, woo woo…”
The last sentence, she finally choked up.
The voice was sobbing, like weeping and complaining, where was the usual half domineering?
It is especially heart-shattering when a vicious person cries. Shadow was silent for a moment, and finally said: “In that case, I will go there myself.”
This answer made the imperial concubine stop crying. After a while, a smile appeared on her face, and her voice softened: “Okay, Minghua, I know, you are the best to me in this world.”
At this time, the imperial concubine didn’t know that Xiao Man had already led the army to go to war.
After all, this is a military secret. Emperor Wei has a strong control over the civil and military factions inside and outside the court. Although the noble concubine has developed a lot of power in the harem, she is still a woman in the deep palace. Be aware of it for a while.
When the imperial concubine got the news, the Southern Expedition Army had already left Beijing for two days.
The team of the Southern Expedition marched secretly, day and night, and the marching team was still very secretive. The shadow in the imperial concubine’s palace chased him out, but it was difficult to find Xiaoman for a while.
As for the Beijing Normal University, it is still peaceful through singing and dancing. The imperial court’s southern expedition will not affect the prosperity of the capital in a short time.
In other words, if even the capital city can be affected, there is a high probability that Wei State will also be in danger.
Of course not now, the world seems to be divided, some people rush for thousands of miles in the war-torn world, and some people are intoxicated day and night in the warm wind of singing and dancing.
Cheng Ling was on duty as usual, but after being off duty that day, Emperor Wei suddenly summoned him.
