[Chapter 328]

, the fastest update to 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 said with a smile: “My daughter-in-law is going to Jiaofang Palace to greet her mother. Why did the mother come in person?”

Queen Qiao smiled and said, “The palace affairs are handled properly, and this palace is free and has nothing to do, so come out for a walk. Just in time to transfer to the East Palace. Here. You go to settle down first, and Ben Gong will take care of the children.”

I can’t wait to see the children for a moment!

Lu Mingyu smiled knowingly, without telling the truth, nodded and said, “I’m bothering my mother.”

Queen Qiao didn’t feel bothered at all.

Lu Mingyu went to settle down, and Queen Qiao carried her grandchildren over, weighed the weight in her hands, looked at Brother Jue’s face that was getting whiter and fatter, and said against her will, “Bengong is watching, Brother Jue. Why did Sister Xuan lose some weight?”

Cai Lan was also blind and opened her mouth to agree: “My servant also feels a little thinner. Living in the Lu Mansion is better than raising it in the palace.”

Queen Qiao agreed.

: “Isn’t it? The child is still young, and when you change places, you will always feel 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 whispering: “Lu’s house is relaxed and comfortable, and my brother and sister have gained a lot of weight. What’s wrong with me?”

Lu Mingyu didn’t take it to heart, and said casually: “My mother doesn’t want to belittle Lu Lu. The manor, I can’t bear to bear my grandchildren. Don’t take such gossip to heart.” There is

no need to rise to the height of opposition.

It is purely a little selfishness of being a mother-in-law, and she doesn’t want her children to be too close to a foreign family, and it is better to be the closest to herself.

Everyone has selfishness, who can make an exception?

As long as you truly love your child, Quan Dang doesn’t know it.

Qiyun’s heart was a little calmer, and after thinking about it, she laughed: “The Queen 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 smiled and hummed, and took a leisurely rest for an hour.

When Queen Qiao hugged the child until her arms were sour that she couldn’t hold it at all, she slowly showed up: “The mother is tired, I’ll hold them.”

Queen Qiao reluctantly gave the child to Lu Mingyu.

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

Queen Qiao was stunned and coughed awkwardly: “How could this palace be like this? Just be careful

. In the future, if you want to go back to the Lu Mansion, just talk to this palace.” Afraid that

Lu Mingyu would climb up the pole, he quickly added: “It’s fine 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 always leaves the palace to return to her parents’ home, which is indeed a matter of right and wrong.

Lu Mingyu smiled and nodded: “The mother said yes.” After a pause , she

asked in a low voice, “Is there nothing in the harem these days?”

Empress Qiao’s eyes flashed, and she said lightly, “Meng Fei and Su Fei have all been grounded. , Concubine Qin went to Shouning Palace to serve Empress Dowager Zhao every day. Wang Jieyu had a baby in the bedroom. Everything was peaceful in the harem.”

Emperor Yongjia was not there, and the young concubines also calmed down.

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

Empress Qiao sighed softly and said in a low voice, “The fourth prince comes to Jiaofang Palace every day, and 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 State in seven or eight days. The Xingyang Army and the Puyang Army are marching. The speed is even faster, and it is already approaching the border of Yan State. Maybe, there is a war right now, but the news is slow, and it has not reached the central government for a while.”

“In the territory of Wei, there are bandits again. We have to send troops before. to pacify the chaos.”

“It’s just that the army was taken away by the emperor and the prince. Now 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 to pacify the capital, the capital will be It’s

really inappropriate to have empty troops.” 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 also led to 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, the 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 chaos in the courtroom.

Old Qiao Ge advocated 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, and I don’t know the reason. Since Cangzhou is in a civil unrest, the local garrison must have already fought with the bandits, and they can’t resist the defeat. I will report to the court urgently. At this time, we must send brave and powerful military generals to pacify the civil unrest.”

“If the turmoil continues, it will suffer from the chaos. The Great Wei will go to Yan and Chu, and the country must not be in chaos. The Ministry of Household also supports it. Fight from 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 to fight in person.

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’s words are reasonable. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com The food and grass accumulated by 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

rioting

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 fourth prince could not suppress the courtiers, so he had to report the matter to Queen Qiao one by one, and Queen Qiao decided.

Queen Qiao didn’t have any confidence in her heart.

She doesn’t understand military affairs, and she can’t make up her mind for a while.

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, and then whispered: “Queen Mother, the civil unrest must be quelled as soon as possible. Let the internal peace be settled first, and then the outside world. The father emperor leads the army to fight abroad, and there must be no more troubles in the Great Wei territory.”

Queen Qiao frowned: “That’s the truth. , Ben Gong 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 if the capital is empty?”

Lu Mingyu’s eyes flashed, and he said solemnly, “There is no perfect choice. Comparing the two evils, choose the lesser.”
