Chapter 172: Only Waiting (Continued in Five Updates, First Update)

  It involves the imperial court's catkins, and among the officials of the five ranks above in the imperial court, there isn't a single good one.

  So when Yu Jing thought about it in this way, there was no need for Zhao Xi to worry anymore.

  One sentence: squeeze as much as you can.

  They are now very comfortable and enjoyable, but in Bianliang it's a different story.

  After the decisive battle at Gui Ren Pu, the imperial court had already given up on Guang Nan. The bandits were driven out and all prefectures were recovered. Next, it was only necessary to arrange for capable officials to take office, then rebuild homes and resume production.

  Who would have thought that after attacking Guangyuan Prefecture, the report from Guangnan was: The Crown Prince, accompanied by Di Qing, led troops deep into Annan territory!

  How is this possible?

  How long ago Annan was founded is clear in the imperial court. It was like when our dynasty attacked North Han, at that time our dynasty could still contend with Great Liao.

  That is to say, the Annan army was all battle-hardened veterans. Now, even if the Western Army was good at fighting, the Imperial Guards were the best of the best, but after all, they had penetrated deep into a foreign land.

  Twenty or thirty thousand soldiers went to resist a country... No need to think, everyone knows what the result will be. This is not Mount Wuyin!

  "My lords, what is to be done?"

  It was originally fine, why did this happen again? Xier, what are you doing now?

  Zhao Zhen has been very happy these days. Xi Er's southern expedition was uneventful, but it is said that he made many contributions in the battles, and more importantly, he skillfully handled those who abandoned their cities and fled without leaving any traces.

  That's enough for the prince, sufficient.

  I thought it would be a matter of course to wait for Xi'er's return and discuss her official duties in the imperial court.

  Unexpectedly... unexpectedly, another unexpected event occurred!

  Annam was just a disturbance, wasn't it just a disturbance? There was no public invasion of Guangnan... In the past, Annam's harassment continued, didn't it pass like this?

  Those were places of smoke and mist, also the border areas where barbarians lived... Zhao Zhen really couldn't understand why Xi Er wanted to do this, and was at a loss as to what to do in such a situation.

  "Your Majesty, Guangnan is far away, let alone Annan? The report of arrival in Bianliang has been delayed for a month or half a month. For the time being, there is no choice but to wait! Wait for new reports on the war situation in Guangnan."

  Fu Bi said so, and no one else said anything else... it seems that no one has a good solution.

  Maybe there's really no way. Zhao Zhen was very helpless, full of worries with nowhere to vent, and could only wave his hand, which was considered a dismissal.

  Even the necessary procedures are too lazy to do, and there is no intention of keeping anyone in tune. At this time, except for his son, he can't accommodate others in his heart.

  Zhao Zhen stood up and left. Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo exchanged a glance, didn't make any excuses, and followed Zhao Zhen directly.

  Zhao Zhen did not go directly to Ciming Palace, Xi'er was not there, and after Zhang's death, he posthumously honored Zhang as Empress... I guess Cao had a lot of complaints.

  At this time, even if I went to Ci Ming Palace, I would still be met with a cold face.

  Zhao Zhen listlessly headed towards Yanfu Palace. Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo followed him like that, without Zhao Zhen noticing.

  Chen Lin found that he was not qualified and did not have the guts to scold his master. The group of people walked silently towards Yanfu Palace like this.

  Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo did not come up with any ideas for Zhao Zhen at this time.

  The frontline situation is that they only see reports. This time is different from the past, with His Highness the Crown Prince personally leading the expedition, and having considerable emergency decision-making power.

  In the imperial court, it's just a matter of pointing fingers and drawing feet, but when it comes to the Crown Prince's residence, it can be ignored.

  They followed him, with the intention of comforting the official as much as possible, so that he wouldn't think about it too much.

  The official is what kind of temperament, all clear. Not only are his ears soft, but his mind is also unsettled, and he has the problem of speaking out of turn.

  Lacking perseverance and easily changing one's mind.

  As for the Crown Prince, they have Mount Wan Yin as their foundation and are not worried. Moreover, Di Qing and Yu Jing are not reckless people.

  They were worried that the officials would give wrong orders, resulting in discrepancies between the imperial court and the Guangnan Anfu Mansion.

  That would make the generals at a loss and ruin the situation that the Southern Expeditionary Army had fought hard to establish.

  "Government..."

  Zhao Zhen is a bit distracted. No wonder, with only one son, who is also exceptionally talented and has the potential to become an emperor for all eternity. Now that he's in a precarious situation, anyone would be worried.

  "Uh...two gentlemen, what's going on here?"

  Zhao Zhen didn't even ask why these two people came, and still wanted to know what to do.

  "The official reported that Annan had more than 30,000 troops on the border, while our army had 20,000 western soldiers and over 10,000 recruited soldiers. This is a situation where both sides are evenly matched."

  "The report says that the Crown Prince's guard battalion, during the war, made gunpowder balls and also had firearms, tiger squatting cannons and other things. Therefore, there is no worry."

  These names, Fu Yi and Wen Yanbo were also seen in the memorial.

  Even Zeng Mingzhong, who wrote "Wujing Zongyao", heard about it as if in a cloud of fog.

  With official permission, after taking the leftover gunpowder from the Imperial Guard camp, Zeng Mingzhong's astonishment had already made it clear that the gunpowder pellets reported were not ordinary.

  Considering all factors, there's probably nothing to worry about.

  "Your Highness, since you were a child learning, have you ever been reckless?"

  Zhao Zhen had to admit that Xi'er was steady in her actions and never did anything reckless.

  Although sometimes I think he is reckless, but in the end he is always right.

  "Are you listening?"

  "Government..."

  Chen Lin opened her mouth, but hesitated as soon as she started speaking.

  There's no way, husbands discussing official business with government officials, he doesn't have the qualifications to get involved.

  This isn't, hasn't said anything yet, the two masters are staring... Can't you wait a bit? I'm not just anyone, I also want to comfort the official's family. You're not discussing state affairs or imperial matters, this old slave has the right to speak.

  "Your Excellency, before Your Highness departed, you said that even if one were alone, they could still return safely to the court."

  Among these people, who has the most confidence in Zhao Xi is definitely Chen Lin.

  Neither the officials nor the masters knew how capable the crown prince was, but Chen Lin was clear about it. He also knew the capabilities of the entire guard camp.

  It's not that I'm hiding from the authorities, it's just that some things, even if reported to the authorities, can't be truly understood without being seen with one's own eyes.

  Firearm training, including tiger crouching cannon experiment, curfew after going out of the city, all are undertaken by Huang Cheng Si. Chen Lin is one of the lucky ones who have witnessed it.

  He thought that even if the imperial court's Forbidden Army were equipped with the best military equipment, not to mention a small border country like Annan, even a powerful country like Xia or Liao would not dare... and only dared to say they did not dare.

  Luckily, this sentence did not go against the gentlemen's wishes, their faces looked unpleasant, but they didn't directly confront.

  Zhao Zhen seems to have remembered this sentence too...... Really no need to worry?

  Take another look at the two gentlemen... it seems they're really not worried.

  Alright then, I believe in Xi'er!

  Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo also understood that he didn't have the heart to talk about other court matters, so they saw that the official family had eased up a bit and took their leave.

  "Go to Chongmyeong Palace!"

  It's just a cold face, Zhao Zhen also has to go through it.

  No choice, his own grandson is in Ciming Palace.

  Since Xi'er went on a distant expedition, the Gao family directly moved into Ciming Palace... They're relatives! Zhao Zhen couldn't do anything about it.

  It's fortunate that the Gao family moved to Ciming Palace, otherwise, it would be difficult for him to visit his grandson.
