Chapter 23
When Mingchen realized that he was in the arms of a man he didn't know, he immediately pushed Zhu Tianchen away.
"Why, are you still afraid that the second brother will eat you? Remember, my chest can always be relied on by you!"
Mingchen immediately raised her head when she heard this, and her eyes met. She read the brother-sister relationship from Zhu Tianchen's eyes, but he stared at Mingchen's eyes that were glistening with tears. Such soft beauty and delicate beauty, I am afraid that whoever sees her will take pity seriously.
"Thank you, second brother!" Ming Chen was very sincere.
"Second brother, what are you two whispering here? The queen mother wants everyone to go to her place to have dinner together. Today, the fourth sister is back!" The sixth highness Zhu Tianbian appeared out of nowhere, "Hey, tomorrow Chen, why are you crying, Second Brother never bullies girls..."
"It's okay, she just misses her parents!" Zhu Tianchen replied instead.
"Mingchen, you've really changed. You weren't so sentimental before, and you laugh less recently than before!"
"Really? Then do you like me in the past or the me now?" Ming Chen asked seriously, wiping away her tears.
"Well, the you in the past was too noisy, the you now is too quiet, I don't like it! Hee hee!" After finishing speaking, he ran away, afraid of being beaten!
The small family banquet was held in the side hall of the Queen's Weiyang Palace. Everyone in the room was talking and laughing, only Mingchen was silent.
"Hey, this fall has made Ming Chen a big hit. Now it looks like a girl's house. The queen mother should also pay attention to whether there is a suitable candidate for a son-in-law!" The fourth princess Zhu Tianyu glanced at it with a smile In the morning, after scanning the princes in the room again, he whispered to the queen.
Although the voice was low, everyone could still hear it clearly, Ming Chen's face turned red all of a sudden, and she hurriedly said: "Sister, Ming Chen is still young!" After speaking, she couldn't help but look at Zhu Tian side.
Zhu Tianyu understood, and immediately turned to his sixth brother and asked, "Tian side, would you like to kiss him more?"
"Where is that? Sister, don't mess with the mandarin ducks here, be careful when your brother-in-law comes home and calls you a 'Mrs. Matchmaker'! Me, how can I be worthy of Mingchen?"
My heart plummeted, and I was silent tomorrow morning.
"You, just don't worry, the emperor probably has already made arrangements!" The queen's words broke the small deadlock.So, everyone understood and didn't mention this matter any more.
Mingchen was stunned, had his future been decided long ago?
In the blink of an eye, it is the end of the year, and it has been eighteen years since the founding of the Great Yi Dynasty.In the past 18 years, the border wars have also occurred one after another, but they can be described as superficial, and they can't touch the foundation of Dayi at all.That is to say, because there are fewer and fewer wars, the morale of the army is getting weaker and weaker, and it is no longer possible to use troops at any time as before.
The old generals who worked hard with the emperor all died or returned to their hometowns. Only Zhenguo Gong Cui Meng still served in the front of the imperial court, commanding the [-] inner imperial forest army in the capital and the [-] outer imperial forest army outside the city.He had long warned the emperor to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but the emperor was probably tired of wars and accustomed to the peace of the world, and always blamed him for worrying about the sky, so he laughed it off, and Cui Meng resigned in a fit of anger.
Just at this time, eight hundred miles in northern Xinjiang urgently reported: Mengting Pass was lost!That is the door to cross the border and break the border!Immediately afterwards, the battle reports spread to the palace like snowflakes, and Feng Liuguan fell!Sheyan Pass is lost!The Gray Seal Pass is lost!As if the enemy had entered the land of no one, he had already reached the Jiayuguan Great Wall. If Jiayuguan is also broken, the capital will be in danger!
The emperor urgently recruited Cui Meng to enter the palace, but the messenger reported that Cui Meng had left to travel around the world after resigning from office, and now he has no idea where he is!In front of him, the generals under his command are too young, how can he take on such a big task?Overnight, Emperor Zhu Yi's hair turned gray.Helpless, he had no choice but to go to the court to fight.
Unexpectedly, the second prince was the first to invite Ying, and others also invited to fight, but at this time the emperor couldn't go to school, although he couldn't bear it, he had to do so. Although Zhu Tianchen was only 22 years old, he had traveled with veterans several times. Not unfamiliar, so the emperor issued a decree: the second prince Zhu Tianchen will be the main general, and Cui Hewu and Cui Hejian, the sons of Cui Meng, will be the deputy generals.
