It was quiet in the imperial study room.

After Xu Jian finished speaking, the Holy Father did not speak for a long time. He only lowered his eyes and looked solemn.

If you really want to analyze it carefully and comment on the gains and losses one by one, the Holy Master thought, he actually has a series of words to persuade Xu Jian.

Or, more directly, if you are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go.

Your orders cannot be violated.

But whether he was gentle or tough, when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them.

Because what Xu Jian said is "Dreams are all about Yumen Pass".

Such persistence made the Holy Master see his own shadow in a trance.

He searched for the truth about Dingguo Temple for more than ten years.

During this period, did no one tell him the pros and cons? Did no one tell him that there were too few clues and too many difficulties?

Too many people have said it.

Moreover, you don’t need to listen to what others say. The Holy Spirit doesn’t understand those truths in his heart.

But he just couldn't let go.

When he chose to seize the throne, his most fundamental purpose was Dingguo Temple. He didn't want to give up. Only when he became emperor could he turn his thoughts into actions.

Years and months passed, and as time went by, the answer became more and more difficult to find. The Holy Spirit was helpless and anxious, and occasionally thought that he would never find the truth in his life, but he never gave up.

Because when he closed his eyes, he dreamed of looking up in Baoping Town, seeing the dark mountains and the only light in the thick night.

The red firelight was completely imprinted on his eyes.

It was precisely because I had tasted it that when I heard Xu Jian say this, the Holy Spirit really "feeled the same".

When Xu Mang was alive, he praised the emperor many times, saying that he had raised a good grandson, and that A Jian was young and inexperienced, but given time, this child could be able to withstand Dashun's border peace.

Among ordinary monarchs and ministers, ministers rarely brag about their own children like this, but Xu Mang was used to being straightforward, and the Holy Master also knew his nature.

Furthermore, the Holy Father also watched Xu Jian grow up.

Early years ago, when the Holy Emperor was choosing a reading companion for Li Shao, he also favored Xu Jian, but Xu Mang rejected him.

In the words of the old man, A Jian is a good young man who can lead the army in war. Being a companion will delay his martial arts practice.

The Holy Spirit agreed.

In the eighth year of Yongjia, Xiliang moved eastward.

General Zhao and his family fought bloody battles to the last moment in Anxi General Mansion. Although the people of Xiliang knocked on the Yumen Pass, they were temporarily unable to advance eastward.

Xu Mang led his army to the expedition, fought hard for several months to regain Yumen, and retreated thousands of miles from the enemy.

The fledgling Xu Jian also used his military exploits to prove to the emperor that his grandfather's vision was not wrong and his education was not in vain.

The army returned to Beijing, but Xu Jian still stayed behind in Yumen.

It wasn't until Xu Mang died of illness in the tenth year of Yongjia that Xu Jian hurriedly settled his grandfather's affairs and decided to "go back to Yumen" again.

Because there is still constant friction between the two armies.

The Holy Spirit remembers clearly that he did not agree with it at the beginning.

It was Xu Jian again. In the Jinluan Palace, "Mo Liao joined the army, it has happened since ancient times."

Border.

With this temperament and persistence, even the emperor would not believe Xu Jian if he said that he did not care about Yumen.

yes.

Xu Jian studied martial arts since he was a child just to guard the border. This was his original intention. How can one let go of his original intention casually?

The leg injury broke Xu Jian's dream, and once chilled his heart. Now that the leg injury is getting better day by day, and the war in Yumen has resumed, it is reasonable for Xu Jian to ask for help.

No matter how many reasons, no matter how many pros and cons he tries to persuade, not to mention that the Holy Spirit himself, the "mirror of the past", is not so thick-skinned, he also knows that it is useless to say any tricks.

After a long time, the Holy Father asked: "Have you thought about it?"

Xu Jian's eyes burned brightly: "I've thought about it."

"Since you are so persistent," after a long time, the Holy Emperor sighed and said, "I will not stop you, but you can convince Ning An and the Empress Dowager yourself."

Xu Jian pursed her lower lip, with a hint of smile in her eyes: "The princess understands my thoughts very well."

When the Holy One saw this, his gloomy mind suddenly disappeared.

He remembered what the late emperor once said to him.

"Everyone has his own destiny."

"It is impossible for a father to make all his sons obedient, and it is even less possible for an emperor to make all his ministers speak with one voice."

"It's not enough to act like a tyrant. If the ministers don't speak in front of the tyrant, there will definitely be another voice behind them."

"Being a king, a minister, and a human being is all the same."

"Think about it yourself and accept the results yourself."

After taking the throne for many years, His Majesty has become more and more understanding of the truth in the late emperor's words.

It's the same now, since Xu Jian and Ning An can figure it out, there is no need to stop him as the emperor.

Instead, he should be happy about the understanding and harmony between the two juniors.

The Holy Master said: "The coach is Dingbeihou, you..."

In terms of age and qualifications, Xu Jian is suitable to be the vanguard. A leg injury is always an insurmountable difficulty. If Xu Jian leads the troops first and rushes to the aid of Yumen at full speed, the emperor will not be worried.

He thought for a while and said: "You can decide how to use the troops after arriving at Yumen, and you can decide how the Beihou will deploy the formation."

Turning around, he called Marquis Dingbei to give him a few words of advice.

Letting Xu Jian lead the army to defend the formation can not only display his ambition and ability, but it is not as dangerous as charging into the formation.

Marquis Dingbei is not ignorant of importance, he knows how to arrange his troops in the most suitable way.

Xu Jian said: "I will obey the command of the commander-in-chief and will not act on impulse."

The Holy Emperor nodded, and finally said, "I thought you would be more interested in tracking down Li Du."

Li Du's tail was pulled out by Xu Jian.

It is not Xu Jian's temperament to give up halfway.

"I want to pursue it," Xu Jian replied, "I have discussed with you before. Based on the friendship between Li Du and Su Yi, it is possible that the plank road in Yumen was built openly. They secretly visited Chencang and pointed directly at the capital.

It's not that I'm trying to put money on my face. I've ruined Li Du's affairs several times. He hates me so much that if I stay in the capital and continue to trace his whereabouts, he may prepare more deceivers for me.

But when I go to Yumen, he might stretch out his hands and feet and be caught by you.

Therefore, I think that the battle situation in Yumen is very important, and the defense of the capital cannot be neglected. In addition to guarding the Yamen, the Chinese army should also strengthen its vigilance."

This morning in the Jinluan Hall, the Holy See saw that the old man had no intention of going into battle.

However, Dingbeihou asked Ying to be the commander-in-chief, and An Yibo insisted on being the deputy general. They were related by marriage and had military power and responsibilities, so it was not suitable.

Therefore, in the end, An Yibo just gave several younger members of his family a chance to gain experience and did not participate in the battle himself.

Since the old uncle is determined to stay in the capital, and the security of the capital is entrusted to him, the Holy One is particularly relieved.

Xu Jian discussed with the Holy Master for a few more words and then left the imperial study room.

While saying goodbye to Eunuch Cao, Xu Jian looked up and saw the chamberlain from Cining Palace approaching.

"My lord," the chamberlain stepped forward and saluted, "the empress dowager please come over."

When Eunuch Cao heard this, he smiled and said, "Is your queen so well-informed?"

"The princess has come into the palace," the chamberlain replied. "The princess said that she knows exactly what the Duke is thinking."

Eunuch Cao was even happier.

Cining Palace.

Lin Yunyan arrived a quarter of an hour ago.

The smoke was rising, Yumen was at war, and in the early morning, everyone in the capital was talking about the war.

Some people are worried, fearing that the war will affect their lives; some people have nothing to do with themselves. After all, Yumen is thousands of miles away from here under the emperor's feet.

Lin Yunyan hurriedly entered the palace and told the Queen Mother that Xu Jian was about to go on an expedition.

The Empress Dowager's face did not look good.

"Seeing your eagerness, the Ai family thought you wanted the Ai family to persuade him and ask the Holy One to stop him." The Queen Mother glared at Lin Yunyan, "I didn't expect that you came to persuade the Ai family to let him go!"

Lin Yunyan smiled obediently.

"That's a war!" the Empress Dowager said angrily, "If nothing else, just look at Concubine De. Her entire family, from her grandfather, father, and brothers, all died in the Yumen Pass.

Can you rest assured? The Aijia are not at ease anyway!
