After saying that, she said worriedly: "Jingchen, now that my father is missing and Huangfu Yuncheng is under control again, this palace is truly leaderless.
"I'm worried that the queen will take advantage of this to seize power and control the palace army. If the royal army is put in charge of her, Country L will be able to completely conquer Country Y without any effort! "
Mu Jingchen pondered for a few seconds about her worries.
"It's not that easy. Although the queen is in a high position, she has little involvement in state affairs. Although there is no king in the palace to handle political affairs, there are still two high-ranking dukes. They will not easily let a woman get involved in state affairs."
Huangfu Liyue frowned and said: "I forgot to tell you, Duke William was sent by Huangfu Yuncheng to support the border last night, so now the only person in the palace who can talk is Duke Devin."
There was worry in her words.
Because the Duke who stayed in the palace was a civilian official and did not have an army in charge.
Not to mention the officials under him, they are not qualified to make decisions on such important matters.
In this way, only the queen has the highest status in the palace.
Mu Jingchen said: "As long as you have someone who can talk to you, as long as he stands up when the queen wants to seize military power, the queen will not be able to succeed."
"Jingchen, but the Duke of Devon is a civilian official. He can only give out ideas when the two countries are at war. He does not have the real power of the army. Can his words be useful?"
"Of course, no matter what kind of official he is, he is still a noble duke. In this country, apart from the prince, king, and queen, his status is the highest!"
After finishing speaking, he added: "The current situation of country y is that the border has been lost and more troops must be sent to support it. Liyue, you find a way to convince the Duke of Devin to let him lead the troops."
""
Huangfu Liyue was stunned for a long time.
Let a civilian official lead troops to fight?
Isn¡¯t this a joke?
"Jingchen, this Duke of Devon has never been exposed to military affairs. If he is allowed to lead troops to fight, won't he be harming the soldiers of Country Y?"
But Mu Jingchen insisted: "What is important is that he has never been exposed to the military. Otherwise, how can the queen feel relieved? Liyue, you are only responsible for convincing him, and leave the rest to Ye Ting."
"Ye Ting?"
Huangfu Liyue then remembered that Ye Ting was also in country E.
It seems that they are together.
She didn¡¯t ask any more questions and immediately responded: ¡°Okay!¡±
¡
night.
The Duke's Palace of Devon.
Huangfu Liyue dressed low-key and came to interview Duke Devon.
The Duke of Devon is the head of the civil servants in the palace. His usual duties are to evaluate elected officials or visit various countries.
Huangfu Liyue's arrival late at night surprised him.
"Meet the princess."
After he saluted, Huangfu Liyue smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be polite."
"Princess, please sit down."
Huangfu Liyue sat down and explained the reason directly.
"Your Majesty, I came to you today for an important matter. I heard that the situation over the border is very bad.
After country l captured the border, it tried to attack other areas of country y. It seemed that it had to take the entire country y into its pocket. "
Duke Devon sighed.
"This is an act of a villain in country l. The former king of country l made an agreement with our late king many years ago that the two countries will live in harmony and will no longer provoke war.
But just a few decades later, country L changed its mind and even launched a sneak attack on our border to occupy it tyrannically.
Now that our king is missing and a war has broken out on the border, Duke William has brought two armies to support him, but I heard that the situation is still not ideal.
According to this situation, our country must send several more troops to support us. I don¡¯t know who among the ministers in the DPRK is willing to go. "
Huangfu Liyue looked at him squarely, with a serious look on his face.
"My Lord Duke, this is why I came to you today. I hope that your Lordship can lead the army to support you."
These words really frightened Duke Devon.
"Me? Princess, are you kidding me?"
He is a civil servant and leads an army to fight. Isn¡¯t this just giving away his life for thousands of miles?
Looking at his surprised expression, Huangfu Liyue nodded firmly.
"That's right, it's you, Duke Devon. All you need to do is hold the army in your hands and go to the border with peace of mind!"
? ?Duke Wen heard something in her words and asked doubtfully: "Princess, why did you let me hold the army in my hands? What exactly did you want to say?"
Huangfu Liyue told everything in his heart.
"My lord, the disappearance of my father is very strange. At this moment, Country L suddenly attacked our country.
This makes me have to connect these two things together. I suspect that someone in the palace is colluding with Country L and betraying Country Y!
At this time, the huge army my father has cultivated must not fall into her hands!
"You are my father's most trusted civil servant. Although you don't understand military affairs, your status is higher than others and you have the right to speak in the palace.
Now, I feel most at ease only when the army is in your hands!
As for the rest, don¡¯t worry, I will arrange for Ye Ting to meet you at the border. Ye Ting has been familiar with military theory since he was a child, and there are Duke William and others at the border to assist you! "
Her words made Duke Devin think deeply.
Huangfu Liyue knew that he was still worried.
She took out a jade plaque from her body and presented it to him.
"This is what Ye Tinglin gave to me before he left for Country E. Your Excellency, should you believe me?"
Duke Devin recognized this jade plaque at a glance.
This is the jade sign used by Huangfu Yeting to mobilize his troops.
Huangfu Yeting was able to give her such an important thing, which also showed that Huangfu Yeting had 100% trust in her.
Duke Devin is usually very optimistic about Huangfu Yeting, but now that he saw his token, he did not refuse.
"Okay, princess, I'm willing to give it a try."
"Thank you, Lord Duke!"
¡
The second day.
As Huangfu Liyue and Mu Jingchen suspected, the queen tried to seize power and take the Y country's army into her own hands.
Early in the morning, all the ministers came to the main hall to discuss state affairs.
But what¡¯s different today is that the queen is here too.
The king is missing, Huangfu Yuncheng is ill, and wars are going on at the border. The ministers in the DPRK are like headless flies, unable to make up their minds.
So, the queen pretended to be in charge of the overall situation as the king's wife.
¡°My dear ministers, now that the king is away and Yuncheng cannot afford to fall ill again, the people on the border are in dire straits and we cannot sit idly by and wait for death.
The troops that can be deployed in the palace followed Duke William to the border yesterday, but Duke William just received news that the situation at the border is not very optimistic, and people need to be brought to support.
But the other troops in our palace can only be mobilized by Your Majesty. Now that Your Majesty is away, the war cannot be delayed.
So I¡¯m thinking of selecting one of you to take on this important task and lead His Majesty¡¯s army to support the border! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
