Chapter 173 Expedited Letter
The Qin Tian Jian quickly submitted the suitable days for getting married to the imperial case. Yan Donghuang opened it and looked at it. The Qin Tian Jian chose the eighth day of November, the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sixth and third day of the second lunar month. The ninth day of the lunar month.
And the November that Feng Yaoguang mentioned is the closest of all the days, and he can't wait to do so.
That’s all.
November is November.
After the date was set, the next step was to prepare for the wedding ceremony, and all the ministries in the palace were busy.
Autumn festivals are being held in various places.
The Qingluan Army needs to make adjustments. Gu Chiran and Qin Yang go to court every now and then to discuss matters, and the army spends more time training every day.
After taxes were collected from various places, the pressure on the national treasury was slightly relieved. However, Yan Donghuang was an emperor who came off the battlefield and knew how to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Once a war started, the national treasury would be depleted very quickly.
Beiliang has its own internal strife for the time being and cannot care about external war. However, after they calm down, the two countries will still break the calm situation, and war will only happen sooner or later.
For the current Yong Kingdom, the sooner the war comes, the better.
Yan Donghuang sat alone in the Nuan Pavilion and thought for a long time, then ordered someone to invite Xie Yunjian: "Yunjian, I have a task for you."
Xie Yunjian said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
"Take Ziying and go to Beiliang. Try your best to disguise yourself so that no one will find you." Yan Donghuang's eyebrows were deep, "Beiliang General Gong Liancheng is waiting in the imperial city for the results of the change of country. Do you want to The method is to prolong their civil war. If there is a chance to kill Gong Liancheng, there will be another turmoil within the Beiliang Black Army, which will be enough to drag down the general combat effectiveness of the Beiliang Army. "
Yuan Ziying, who was standing aside, looked at her in surprise when she heard this.
His Majesty wants her to go to Beiliang to complete such an important task?
Beiliang, is it in the north of Yong Kingdom?
Xie Yunjian nodded: "When we arrive in Beiliang, what should I do about the identities of Qiao Zhuang and Ziying?"
Yan Donghuang handed him a sealed letter: "There have always been merchants between Yong and Beiliang. If you follow this caravan, they will send a batch of warm clothes to Beiliang next month. If you find them, they will Help you get a new identity."
Xie Yunjian took the order and left.
"Your Majesty." Yuan Ziying looked at her with some reluctance, "How long will this trip take?"
Yan Donghuang pondered slightly: "Looking at your efficiency, if the matter can be completed early, come back early and I will seal you."
Yuan Ziying's eyes lit up: "What's the seal?"
Yan Donghuang smiled and said, "If you have great merit, will you be crowned a female marquis?"
Yuan Ziying was overjoyed: "I will not disappoint His Majesty."
Yan Donghuang looked into her sparkling eyes and couldn't help but have a smile on his face. Such a careless girl must be simple and kind at heart, so how could she have ulterior motives?
Yan Donghuang warned carefully: "After going to Beiliang, you must first put your own safety first. No matter what happens, you must remember to save your life. Secondly, every country has its own customs and elites. Don't Easily get involved in other people’s interest disputes, and try not to meddle in other people’s affairs.”
Yuan Ziying nodded: "Yes."
"I will let Xie Yunjian arrange all important matters." Yan Donghuang said seriously, "The biggest purpose of this trip is to start a civil war in Beiliang, so that they can be distracted, so that we can get enough time to recuperate and strengthen our military training. ”
Yuan Ziying nodded: "I know. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and there are many more important things waiting for your Majesty to do. The war wastes people and money, and the people are the ones who suffer. But General Feng has to take care of Nanling, and the Qingluan Army needs to rebuild Make adjustments. If there is a war in a short time, Yongguo will be very passive."
Yan Donghuang raised his eyebrows slightly: "What a smart girl."
Yuan Ziying was so happy with the praise that she quickly resigned and left.
Yan Donghuang couldn't help but smile.
She is indeed a smart girl. I really hope that both myself and Yaoguang's guesses are overly pretentious.
…
As the day of the wedding ceremony approached, Feng Yaoguang's expression became visibly brighter. She was in high spirits all day long, and she looked like she was in a very good mood.
When entering and exiting the military camp, Qin Yang, Xiao Nanfeng and Xiao Qingwu saw how excited he was and often jokingly called him "The Queen" and even asked him if they would have to give permission in advance before entering the palace to see the Queen.
Does the Queen have to abide by the rules of the harem not to interfere in politics?
The Empress is virtuous and generous. Will she take the initiative to take concubines for Her Majesty?
Feng Yaoguang let them tease her without getting annoyed.
Perhaps people are like this when they are happy. They can laugh at everything, and even teasing and joking sound like blessings.
However, in mid-October, an urgent letter from Nanling was rushed to the Imperial City of Yong Kingdom, breaking Feng Yaoguang's good mood that he had maintained for more than a month.
There were first small-scale riots at the Nanling border, and then the Qi State repeatedly provoked them, seeming to want to take advantage of Nanling's emptiness to get a piece of the pie.
After Feng Yaoguang became emperor, he only appointed auxiliary ministers, thinking that there would be no problems at the border.
After all, Qi State and Nanling have always had a non-intrusive relationship, and there has not been a war for many years - just like Northern Qi and Yong State, they do not invade each other.
In recent years, due to divisions within the Qi State, there have been many civil wars. No one expected that Southern Qi would suddenly attack Nanling.
When Feng Yaoguang received the news and looked at the contents of the urgent letter, his good mood disappeared and his face was covered with frost.
"The situation in various countries has always been like this. Something unexpected can happen at any time." Yan Donghuang looked at Feng Yaoguang's ugly face and gently comforted him, "As the emperor, you have to bear more than ordinary people. There is no need to be angry or excited about this. Think calmly about how to deal with it first."
Feng Yaoguang was silent for a long time: "This time it is my fault. I shouldn't have left the imperial city without authorization shortly after Nanling was destroyed. As a result, there is no one in the imperial city who can make decisions now."
After experiencing some changes, most officials in the imperial city are cautious. Except for a few appointed regents, the military generals are responsible for daily training and maintaining order in the imperial city.
The sudden attack of Nanqi was a situation they had never encountered before, and no one dared to make a decision easily.
Because once they failed, no one could afford the consequences.
This time Feng Yaoguang did not stay, did not hesitate, and even did not say a few words of reluctance. He went to reorganize the army in the afternoon of the same day. The next day, he bid farewell to Yan Donghuang, left Yongguo, and set off for Nanling.
At the same time, Yan Donghuang also sent spies to Nanqi to get information. She realized that Nanqi's sudden decision was very abnormal, and she needed to know the reason.
She even suspected that Nanqi's real target was not Nanling at all.
But all the suspicions had no evidence, just speculation.
Because of Nanling's sudden situation, the wedding in November was cancelled.
Yuan Ziying and Xie Yunjian went to Beiliang secretly, and Feng Yaoguang returned to Nanling.
The two people who often chatted with Yan Donghuang left, and her ears seemed to be quiet in an instant.
The next day was to follow the routine every day, attending court to listen to politics, and leaving court to discuss matters.
