readx; A quarter of an hour later, Princess Yongning returned to the palace without getting any promise from Luo Chong. Regarding her full expectations, Luo Chong just responded with the words "Let's wait and see, I haven't thought about it yet."
Luo Chong didn't mean to be perfunctory, but he just couldn't bear to attack her. At least at this stage, there was no need to make her so desperate.
She can¡¯t save the Jin Dynasty, and she¡¯s not worth saving. As a woman, she should live only for herself.
That night, the unconscious Second Young Master Yuan was found lying on the grass in the back garden by a servant. Suddenly, the Yuan Mansion was shaken, and he had no sleep that night.
Second Young Master Yuan was woken up by his father himself with cold water. He opened his eyes and looked around in confusion, with an extremely shocked expression on his face. Then he hugged his father's legs and began to cry loudly.
"It's not a dream, is it?"
"Was it a dream before, or is it a dream now?"
"If this is a dream, don't let me wake up again!"
Second Young Master Yuan cried and said some words that others could not understand. In fact, he was still in a trance and could not tell whether he was dreaming during those days on the island or whether he was dreaming when he returned home. In a dream state.
Snapped!
When he was done crying, Mr. Yuan suppressed his heartache and gave him a slap on his ear, which was neither gentle nor severe, and immediately stunned him.
Looking at his son who had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, Mr. Yuan said in a low voice: "Son, you are back home. This is not a dream. Only when your father goes to the emperor to reject the marriage can you come back." ah!"
"Marriage?"
Second Young Master Yuan shook his head and finally confirmed: "It is really because of that marriage. I have been thinking about it over and over on the island these days. The most suspicious person is Princess Yongning How could she treat me like this? If she doesn't want to, then she won't. Well, how could you do this to me?"
Master Yuan turned around to stop the child¡¯s crying and questioning, and then asked his son: ¡°What have they done to you in the past few days?¡±
"There's nothing else, so I was left on an uninhabited island"
Second Master Yuan tried his best to stay rational and narrated in detail: "Somehow, when I opened my eyes, I saw an isolated island in the vast sea. Father, please don't scold me for being confused. At first, I couldn't believe it. The capital city is inland, and the nearest island is also It must be more than a thousand miles away, how could I be sent to an isolated island without knowing it"
Mr. Yuan was gloomy and silent, and then he understood what his son had just said about this dream and that dream. If it were him, he would have found it difficult to accept that he had gone to an island from his home in the capital as soon as he opened his eyes. Extremely unreal.
¡°What a great ability!¡±
After the second young master finished telling all about what happened in the past few days, Mr. Yuan sighed: "The emperor just canceled the marriage during the day, and was able to send you back from overseas at night. It's like flying into the sky and escaping from the earth. The master of martial arts." Can it be done?¡±
"Father is saying that from the time the wedding was canceled to the time I was sent back, it was onlya few hours?"
The second young master had no idea how long he had been unconscious, and had no idea of ??time. When his father said this, he said: "Impossible, this is impossible. My son is also a martial arts practitioner. Although he has no personal experience with the martial arts master's ability, I¡¯ve seen it before, and I¡¯ve heard it before. It takes a few hours to cross at least a thousand miles, and you have to row a boat to cross the vast sea. This this is simply impossible, no one can do it! "
"right!"
Master Yuan nodded solemnly: "This means that Luo Dong deliberately used this to scare us. He can do things that others can't do. This also includes easily taking away the head from my neck, Mr. Yuan." ¡±
He thought these words were very reasonable, but he didn't know that he had really wronged Luo Chong. Luo Chong didn't play with such thoughts at all, he was just too lazy to do anything, so he just threw Second Young Master Yuan out of the small universe.
But this kind of laziness has become a big trick that is difficult to figure out in the eyes of others.
??????????? Then I heard the Second Master Yuan begging his mother sadly: "Mom, please get me something to eat, I'm hungry, I'm going to starve to death"
"Hey, hey, okay, okay."
Mother Yuan shed tears and quickly ordered her servants to go to the kitchen to prepare food. Master Yuan was more thoughtful and ordered again: First, invite the doctor to take the child's pulse and see what he can and cannot eat.
"In short, Second Young Master Yuan has long since sworn in his heart that he would not marry any princess even to death. He would rather marry a fisherman's daughter, who at least knows how to fish
????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡?Things that were countless times more serious finally happened.
The Ministry of War received military intelligence from several directions: the Qingyuan cavalry really began to gather from all directions towards the capital, and the number was still about 20,000. The nearly a thousand people Luo Dong had killed before could not make them injured. It was obvious that the Qingyuan Cavalry also had a clear intention of revenge.
This is not the most serious matter. At the same time, military reports arrived from the northern Xinjiang, saying that the Qingyuan Army's infantry regiment of 50,000 people had also bypassed the border and invaded the territory of the Jin Dynasty. It is still difficult to determine whether they are responding to the 20,000 cavalry or the vanguard of Qingyuan Kingdom's large-scale invasion.
Early in the morning, two military reports were placed in front of the emperor at the same time. All the ministers in the court were panicked. Who could care about the marriage of a certain princess.
¡°It¡¯s really coming, it¡¯s really coming, what should we do?¡±
The emperor was so high that he could not sit still on the dragon throne. He kept asking: "Do you have any good plans?"
I have been worrying about this day and night. It has really come, but it is scarier and more serious than I imagined.
"Fight back!"
Some ministers who were more courageous still stood up and said: "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Their combined infantry and cavalry are only 100,000. There are more than 200,000 troops gathered here in the capital. Just push the enemy back. Other than that There is no better way!¡±
Nonsense!
The other ministers were cursing secretly in their hearts: Who doesn¡¯t know that the best way is to fight the enemy back? The key is, can it be defeated?
??The example of the 350,000 Qingyuan Army frontally defeating the Jin Dynasty's 100,000-strong army has been common in the past ten years. The Qingyuan Army is getting stronger and stronger, and we are getting weaker and weaker. How to fight? Who dares to fight them?
Except for the Western Xinjiang God of War Mu Hanshan, who dares to fight them?
At this time, this group of ministers thought of Mu Hanshan, but they didn't know how many people were willing to stand up and speak for him when the emperor expressed dissatisfaction with Mu Hanshan in the court a few months ago.
"Isn't there another Luo Dong?"
There was silence in the court for a while, and the person who stood up and mentioned Luo Dong's name turned out to be Mr. Yuan, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Master Yuan¡¯s thoughts are not complicated. They are simply: Luo Dong, if you have the ability, go and eliminate the disaster for us. If you don¡¯t, then just die on the battlefield.
Even if he himself is too strong in martial arts to die, he can still be dismissed from all his official positions for any reason.
As for whether Luo Chong can make great achievements and get promoted further, Master Yuan has already thought about it: as the saying goes, it is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. If he can really surpass Mu Hanshan, a generation of strong men, in these troubled times, there will be no need to further offend him. He just wanted to find a way to make friends with him. Anyway, the second son was still alive, so it was not a deep hatred that could not be resolved.
Mr. Yuan has been in the officialdom for many years. He has long lost the bad habits of being impulsive. He has no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. He should treat everything as appropriate.
"Luo Dong?"
Regarding Master Yuan's proposal, some ministers stood up and questioned: "This man is only twenty years old and is currently only a fourth-grade general. No matter how great his potential is and how good his qualifications are, he is not enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility now. How important is it to defend the capital? Can you put all your hopes on him?"
¡°That¡¯s what I mentioned.¡±
Mr. Yuan spread his hands to his colleagues and bowed respectfully to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I don't understand military affairs. I just heard that General Luo is very capable of dealing with the Qingyuan Army. He has never suffered a loss from the Qingyuan Army." , instead regarded the heads of the Qingyuan Army as a ladder, and in less than a year he was promoted from a low-level soldier to a fourth-grade general"
I won¡¯t say any more unnecessary words, let¡¯s stop talking.
This move actually earned him a better reputation from the emperor. The emperor must have been thinking: Look, Yuan Aiqing is really a loyal minister. That guy Luo Dong kidnapped his son. Not only did he not bear any grudge, but he also made such a meritorious service. I will still recommend him if the opportunity arises. He keeps a clear distinction between public and private affairs, repays evil with kindness, and puts my safety and my country first in everything, but he does not let down the favor he shows him in daily life.
The person named Yuan has been able to hold the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for more than ten years, which is obviously because he has figured out the temper of the current emperor.
However, one code leads to another. In addition to admiring Yuan Aiqing, the emperor was also questioning: That boy Luo Dong is still young in terms of age, experience, qualifications, etc. No matter how he can fight and kill, he is still young. He's not good enough to take on important responsibilities. It would be fine to let him be a vanguard general who rushes to the front
It was really difficult to decide on the generals who would guard the capital for a while. The key was that the senior generals who usually yelled at each other were all wilted at this moment. No one dared to come forward because in their heartsLike a mirror, it's a thankless chore unless you achieve a dazzling victory.
With the strange character of the current emperor, it is easy to say anything in a critical moment, and he can even persuade you to do things with good words. But if, when the Qingyuan Army retreats, his safety is no longer a concern, then someone needs to stand up. Take the blame for him.
In order to maintain the dignity of the emperor, he would pass on the shame and humiliation of the enemy's siege of the capital to others: It was all you, your poor command, and your betrayal of the grace that made the Qingyuan Army so arrogant and humiliated the dignity of everyone in the court. Of course, it was also Including mine!
The reason is also very strong: if you are really capable, you should keep the Qingyuan Army thousands of miles away and not let them besiege the capital. You are not worthy of your current official position, and you are not worthy of the full expectations of me and thousands of people Get out! Incompetent person, don't let me see you again!
At that time, all the official positions were lightly affected by a while.
He has done such immoral and ridiculous things not once or twice
