Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 362: steady

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

The battle reports of successive defeats came, and the cabinet ministers couldn't hold back.

Elder Qiao and six ministers gathered in Wenhua Hall. The Imperial Guard General Liang was also invited. The Fourth Prince had a certain say in such political occasions due to his achievements in pacifying the chaos before.

Several ministers were discussing whether to send more reinforcements. The fourth prince said in a deep voice, "In this battle, all the elites of the Great Wei have come out. The two armies add up to 200,000 people."

"If you send reinforcements again, you will have to mobilize troops from all over the Great Wei Dynasty. I think we can hold on right now, but it's not time to send more reinforcements."

Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of War nodded: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is right, and the minister also thinks that it is time to wait and see, and there is no need to be impatient."

Elder Qiao Ge frowned and said, "The Great Wei has been defeated one after another, and his morale is low. If we don't send reinforcements and the war is not going well, will it be a complete defeat?"

The fourth prince hurriedly replied: "The capital is so far away, and it takes more than a month for news to come and go. Even if we send troops to support, it will take nearly two months on the road. When we get there, I'm afraid The battle is over."

Qiao Ge Lao took over the words: "That's why the old minister thought that we should send reinforcements as soon as possible, and we can't wait any longer."

The rest of the ministers are all civil servants who are not familiar with the war. Some support reinforcements, while others think that they should be patient and continue to wait for news.

General Liang, who has not spoken for a long time, finally opened his mouth: "Wait a minute!"

Qiao Ge Lao looked over and said, "General Liang also thought it was such news?"

General Liang nodded slightly, and the words were few, concise and powerful: "The emperor Xingyang and the king are all on the front line, as well as the Meng family's army and the Zhao family's army. If they can't win, it's useless to send troops to reinforce. Just wait!"

……

As soon as the Xiaochao meeting was over, the fourth prince went to the Jiaofang Hall and asked to see Queen Qiao.

The fifth prince is not very useful when he is young, and the fourth prince is now in the court, so he can finally be used. Queen Qiao now relies more on the fourth prince, and when she saw the fourth prince, she asked about the affairs of the day.

The fourth prince said in a low voice: "...I thought that two defeats would not be considered a defeat, and the main force of the army is still there. There is no need to rush reinforcements. General Liang thinks so too. However, Qiao Ge is worried. The safety of the father and the second brother is more anxious. I was stopped by the son today, I am afraid that they will soon come to the mother to discuss."

Queen Qiao cheered up and replied, "Don't worry, this palace knows what to do, and can hold on to Qiao Ge Lao and a group of civil servants."

The Fourth Prince let out a sigh of relief.

Civil officials sit in the courtroom and don't know anything about war, so it's best not to point fingers.

Perhaps, the father emperor and the Xingyang king deliberately lost the battle, which led to the army of Yan and Chu.

It is better to be silent than to move. At this point, keep calm and wait patiently.

After the Fourth Prince left, Queen Qiao turned her head and sighed at Lu Mingyu: "You've guessed it all."

Early in the morning, the cabinet is in a hurry. Lu Mingyu said to Queen Qiao, "After successive defeats, Elder Qiao will definitely be unable to hold back. However, with General Yang Shangshu Liang and his fourth brother, they will definitely stop Elder Qiao."

As a result, Lu Mingyu said it all.

Lu Mingyu smiled lightly: "Elder Qiao Ge is also wholeheartedly for the sake of the country's society."

However, since Wenchen is not familiar with the war, it is better not to intervene.

Lu Mingyu thought about it for a while, and then said: "If Qiao Ge asks to see his mother and persuades him to send reinforcements, the mother can stabilize."

Queen Qiao nodded: "Don't worry! If Mr. Qiao Ge really comes, I have to persuade him."

Before she finished speaking, Cai Lan came in and reported: "Qi to the Empress, the old man Qiao Ge came to ask for an interview."

Queen Qiao quickly exchanged glances with Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu stood up: "The mother and Qiao Ge are talking to the old man, and the daughter-in-law should avoid it for the time being."

When the father and daughter talk, she won't be annoying.

Queen Qiao nodded slightly: "Alright, you will take Brother Zhuang and Sister Xuan back to the East Palace first, and come back in the afternoon."

Lu Mingyu responded with a smile, holding Brother Jue in one hand and Sister Xuan's hand in the other, the mother and son left the Jiaofang Hall together. Just happened to meet Qiao Ge who was waiting outside the hall.

Old Qiao Ge bowed his hands and saluted: "The old minister has seen the crown princess."

Lu Mingyu smiled and said, "Elder Qiao, please get up soon." Then he instructed Brother Jue and Sister Xuan: "See your great-grandfather soon."

Elder brother and sister Xuan can't say such long words, but they can bow their hands and salute. The two children, the same size as dumplings, bowed their hands solemnly, and were very childish and cute.

Elder Qiao Ge has always disliked Lu Mingyu, his grandson-in-law, but he is very fond of the pair of dragon and phoenix brothers and sisters, and said with a smile: "The two little princes salute the old minister, and they will ruin the old minister."

After a few simple greetings, Lu Mingyu left with the child.

……

Elder Qiao Ge entered the Jiaofang Hall and bowed his hands first.

Queen Qiao hurriedly stood up and helped Qiao Ge Lao: "There are no outsiders here, father don't be too polite, sit down and talk!" She brought tea to Qiao Ge Lao herself.

Elder Qiao drank the tea served by Queen Qiao, his brows and eyes slightly stretched, and he opened his mouth to tell what happened in the morning.

I originally wanted to win Queen Qiao's approval, but Queen Qiao in turn persuaded him: "My father is all for the sake of the great Wei Jiangshan, and my daughter understands it. However, my daughter doesn't know about war, and so does my father. Wenchen. There are the emperor and the king of Xingyang who are fighting on the front line, and there is no big mistake. There are Yang Shangshu and General Liang in the court, and my father may wish to listen to their advice."

Elder Joe: "..."

Elder Qiao Ge was dumbfounded for a moment, then sighed: "It's okay. The old minister has written down what the Queen said."

Empress Qiao looked sad when she saw her old father with white temples and a hard-working face, she felt quite uncomfortable, and she softened her voice and said, "It's not that I don't trust my father. It's just that the emperor had instructed before he left that the government affairs in the DPRK It's all in the hands of my father. If my father manages the government affairs well~IndoMTL.com~, it is the loyalty of the courtier."

"The emperor is not the one who waits to die to save face and suffer. If reinforcements are needed, he will make a decree. Now that there is no such decree, the court must be stabilized."

Elder Qiao Ge was silent for a moment, then nodded: "The empress's words are reasonable, but the old minister was too impatient and lost his composure."

Queen Qiao smiled and comforted Mr. Qiao Ge: "Everyone is flustered when they encounter such a thing. To tell the truth from my father, I have already messed up my hands and feet. Thanks to Lu's calmness, she often gives me advice."

"Even the affairs of the cabinet, she expected it."

So, it was Lu Mingyu who persuaded Queen Qiao to support Yang Shangshu and General Liang.

Elder Qiao Ge was a little dissatisfied, and couldn't help but say: "The harem must not be involved in politics. It is a good thing for the empress to trust her daughter-in-law, and don't let her go too far."

Queen Qiao glanced at Qiao Ge and said calmly: "She is right, so what's the harm in listening to her."

Elder Joe: "..."
