Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 328: The wind blows

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the hairpin!

As soon as Lu Mingyu returned to the palace, before even entering the gate of the East Palace, Queen Qiao came in person.

Lu Mingyu hurriedly smiled and said, "My daughter-in-law is going to Jiaofang Palace to greet her mother. Why did the mother come in person?"

Queen Qiao said with a smile: "The palace affairs have been handled properly. I have nothing to do with this palace. Come out for a walk. Just in time to transfer to the East Palace. You go to settle down first, and this palace will take care of the children."

I can't wait to see the kids for a moment!

Lu Mingyu smiled knowingly, without telling the truth, nodded and said, "I'm bothering my mother."

Queen Joe was not bothered at all.

Lu Mingyu went to settle down herself, Queen Qiao carried her grandchildren over, weighed the weight in her hands, looked at the increasingly pale face of brother and sister Xuan, and said against her heart: "Bengong is watching, How come brother and sister Xuan have lost some weight?"

Cailan is also blind, opened her mouth and said: "The slaves also feel thinner. Living in the Lu Mansion is worse than raising them in the palace."

Queen Qiao agrees: "Isn't it true? The child is still young, and when he changes places, he always feels uncomfortable."

These words fell into the ears of the palace servants who were waiting on the side, and quickly spread to Lu Mingyu.

Qiyun couldn't help but whispered: "Lu's house is relaxed and comfortable, brother and sister have gained a lot of weight, what's wrong with it?"

Lu Mingyu didn't take it to heart, and said casually: "My mother doesn't want to belittle the Lu family, but she is reluctant to bear her grandchildren. You don't have to take such gossip to heart."

There is no need to rise to opposite heights. It is purely a bit of selfishness of being a mother-in-law, not wanting the child to be too close to a foreign family, and to be the closest to himself.

Everyone has selfishness, who can make an exception? As long as you truly love your child, Quan Dang doesn't know it.

Qiyun calmed down a bit, and after thinking about it, she laughed: "The Empress does love her child, and her mind is very heavy." It can also be seen that Queen Qiao didn't think much, just said it casually. Otherwise, such words should not be said in the East Palace.

Lu Mingyu hummed with a smile and took a rest for an hour.

When Queen Qiao hugged the child until her arms were too pantothenic to hold, she slowly showed up: "The mother is tired, I will hold them."

Queen Qiao reluctantly gave her child to Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu was amused by Queen Qiao's expression: "The queen mother is so reluctant to let them go. In the future, I will go back to my parents' house by myself, so I won't take them back."

Queen Qiao was stunned and coughed awkwardly: "How could Ben Gong be so careful. If you want to go back to Lu Mansion in the future, just talk to Ben Gong."

Afraid that Lu Mingyu would climb up the pole, she quickly added: "It's okay to stay for a few days, and don't leave the palace all the time, so as not to fall into the limelight."

She, the queen of the middle palace, has hardly ever left the palace gate, and the crown princess often leaves the palace to return to her mother's house.

Lu Mingyu smiled and nodded: "The mother said yes."

After a pause, he asked in a low voice, "Is there nothing in the harem these days?"

Queen Qiao's eyes flashed, and she said lightly: "Meng Fei and Su Concubine are all grounded, and Qin Concubine goes to Shouning Palace to serve the Queen Mother Zhao every day. Wang Jieyu has a baby in the bedroom. Everything is peaceful in the harem."

Emperor Yongjia was absent, and the young concubines were also very calm.

On the contrary, it is not so worry-free.

Queen Qiao sighed softly and said in a low voice: "The fourth prince comes to Jiaofang Palace every day. He told this palace that there has been some disputes between the DPRK and China recently. The emperor's army will be able to reach the border of Chu in seven or eight days. Xingyang Army The Puyang army is marching faster, and it has already reached the border of the Yan Kingdom. Maybe, there is a war going on right now, but the news is transmitted slowly, and it has not reached the DPRK for a while."

"In the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, there has been a riot of bandits again. We must send troops to quell the chaos."

"It's just that the entire army was taken away by the emperor and the prince. There are only 30,000 imperial guards in the capital, and 25,000 city soldiers and horses. These 50,000 people are responsible for protecting the safety of the capital. If troops are dispatched, they will go to peace Chaos, the capital is empty of troops, which is really inappropriate."

……

Lu Mingyu also frowned.

The military system of the previous dynasty was chaotic and scattered. Emperor Yongjia learned a lesson, and after the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty, most of the troops and military power were concentrated in the hands of the emperor.

This has also resulted in a shortage of local troops. Each county has no more than 10,000 troops, and some remote counties have only one or two thousand garrisoned troops. As soon as there is a disturbance of the bandits, it is not enough, and it is necessary for the capital to send troops to quell the chaos.

In the past, generals were happy to see such a situation. Leading troops out of Beijing to quell the chaos is the best opportunity to make achievements in battle.

But now, most of the generals in the capital have gone to the land of Yanchu, and the generals who stay in the capital are either too old and lost their spirit, or they are seriously injured and unfit for battle.

General Liang is brave, but he is responsible for guarding the capital and cannot leave the capital without permission.

There is no dispute over the pacification of the chaos in the courtroom.

Elder Qiao Ge advocates sending troops to support the garrison. This also means that the garrison is still the mainstay. Both the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Rites agreed with Qiao Gelao's opinion.

This proposal was rejected by the Minister of War: "Qiao Ge is not good at military affairs, I don't know the reason. Since Cangzhou is in a civil unrest, the local garrison must have already fought with the bandits and can't resist it. Only when we lose the battle will we urgently report to the court. At this time, we must dispatch brave and powerful generals to quell the civil unrest in one fell swoop.”

"When the break is continuous, it will be chaotic. The Great Wei whole country goes to Yan and Chu, and there must be no chaos in the country. The Ministry of Household can't afford to fight on three sides."

Yao Shangshu of the Ministry of War was born in a military commander. He fought with Emperor Yongjia and was injured on the battlefield, so he could no longer lead the troops in battle. Emperor Yongjia made him the Minister of War.

Yao Shangshu's remarks are well-founded.

The noble book of the household department also agreed: "Yao Shangshu is right~IndoMTL.com~ The food and grass stored in the household department is enough for the army for two years. This means that the weather in Great Wei is good, and there is no disaster relief or other use. If the people are in chaos for a long time, the war will consume food and grass, and after the war, it will cost a lot of money to care for the people, and the household department will really struggle."

The cabinet was divided into two factions, and there was no conclusion after several days of arguing.

The fourth prince couldn't hold back the courtiers, so he had to report the matter to Queen Qiao one by one, and Queen Qiao decided.

Queen Qiao didn't feel confident.

She doesn't understand military affairs, and she can't make up her mind at the moment. From time to time, Lu Mingyu was urged to return to the palace, firstly because he was thinking about his grandchildren, and secondly, he wanted to discuss this matter with Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Mother, the civil unrest must be quelled as soon as possible. Let the internal peace first, and then fight against the outside world. The imperial father leads the army to fight outside, and there must be no more trouble in the territory of Great Wei."

Queen Qiao frowned: "This truth, this palace also knows. However, what Qiao Ge said also makes sense. If the elites are sent out to pacify the chaos, wouldn't it be dangerous for the capital to be empty?"

Lu Mingyu's eyes flashed and he said solemnly: "There is no perfect choice. Comparing the two evils, choose the lesser."
