Everyone retreated temporarily.

But I didn't dare to go home for the time being, but went back to my respective places where I stayed, intending to take a break.

On the way.

A group of old men who stayed up all night had a blue-black look in their eyes, and they still had the intention to tease Li Dongyang.

Xie Qian said, "I just heard that Dingxi Hou was with His Highness. I thought he was going to persuade His Highness to return to the palace like last time."

"But I didn't expect that with His Highness, I won the more with less and won a victory."

"Mr. Li's disciples are indeed extraordinary."

Li Dongyang laughed dryly, and his mouth, who has always been eloquent, didn't know what to say.

Liu Daxia sighed with some concern.

"It's still a bit too nonsense."

"Even if you can defeat the more with less one or two times, the opponent has too many troops. If you really act ruthlessly and the entire army will be dispatched, they will probably not be able to perform it at that time if they have too many ways."

Two fists cannot beat four hands.

In the face of powerful forces, no matter how many strategies you have, it will not work.

Although it is basically impossible to use all the troops against such a few of them.

But who can say this unexpected thing?

Li Dongyang coughed lightly and said, "Not necessarily."

"Previously, they could have defeated the enemy's first attack with such a small force."

"Now with reinforcements, we should be more confident to do this."

Li Dongyang doesn't know much about the war.

But he still knew his disciples.

Although Zhao Ce is a scholar, he is even more outstanding and praised by the public.

But from the beginning, he was awarded the title for his military merits.

Moreover, Zhao Ce is a steady person and cannot accompany Zhu Houzhao to make trouble without any certainty.

Zeng Jian also nodded and echoed: "There are many new weapons developed by the Firearms Bureau recently, all of which were completed under the guidance of Dingxi Hou, and the results are quite good."

"He can make weapons on-site and use them to resist the enemy must have their advantages."

Just now, Emperor Hongzhi just said that the Duke Bao was ignorant and did not persuade Zhu Houzhao to come back.

He did not blame Zhao Ce who arrived at the scene earlier than Duke Baoguo.

Now Liu Daxia just said casually that they thought they were messing around, but it attracted the rebuttal of the two.

Just forget it if Li Dongyang is a teacher, it is appropriate to protect his son.

Zeng Jian also directly helped Zhao Ce speak.

If Liu Daxia continued to say that, it would probably be that others would join in to help Zhao Ce speak.

Liu Daxia said with some amusement: "What you said is reasonable."

The atmosphere has been much more relaxed than yesterday.

Everyone talked and waited until they were almost gone before they separated.

...

After the news of Baoguo Duke came, it was not until the evening that new news came.

However, due to the distance, there was a time difference in the news.

The news this time is still just a report of safety.

Emperor Hongzhi rested for a while during the day and became much more energetic.

After listening to the news of safety, I read the memorials beside the bed.

Just as she watched, Queen Zhang walked in with her people.

"The Emperor."

Emperor Hongzhi put down his memorial: "Is it my queen?"

Queen Zhang walked over and sat next to him.

"The emperor is so busy with political affairs these two days? He doesn't even go to the harem."

Listening to her slightly complaining words, Emperor Hongzhi held her hand and smiled.

"I've been busy these days, but I probably won't be busy for too long."

Queen Zhang said: "Huzhao said that he had caused trouble these days. The emperor asked him to think about his mistakes behind closed doors and would not let me see him."

"The son can't see it, and the emperor won't come."

Queen Zhang sighed and said melancholy: "There is such a huge harem, I am the only one day and night."

Emperor Hongzhi said softly: "If I don't go, isn't it the same for the queen to come?"

Queen Zhang muttered, "I can only find someone to find out that the emperor is in the bedroom so that I can get over."

When she has political affairs, Empress Zhang is also tactful and never disturbs her.

Recently, Emperor Hongzhi asked someone to beat Zhu Houzhao, but he didn't tell me about this.

Even to his queen, he just said that Zhu Houzhao would think about his mistakes in the East Palace these days and would not let him come out.

Queen Zhang believed it.

After all, she still knows her son's temperament of being able to cause trouble.

My son hasn't greeted me for a few days, and the emperor hasn't been to sleep and have dinner with her these two days.

My two brothers seem to have evaporated recently.

I used to like to enter the palace if I had something to do, but now I heard that they haven't gone out for a few days.

For a moment, she was the only middle-aged woman left in the harem.

She couldn't help it tonight.

Hearing that Emperor Hongzhi would not deal with political affairs tonight and was preparing to rest in the bedroom, she came by herself.

Emperor Hongzhi avoided talking about his son's affairs and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, the queen will rest here with me tonight."

"I'm empty tomorrow, can I go and have lunch with you?"

Queen Zhang was a little happy.

However, when talking about her son, she asked again: "I haven't seen Houzhao for several days. How long does the emperor want him to be confined to the East Palace?"

"He is not allowed to come out, so can I go over and see my son?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought to himself, but he couldn't let you see it for the time being.

Otherwise, let you know that your son is not in the Eastern Palace, but in the frontier. He has just fought a dangerous battle and is preparing to fight a more dangerous one. I am afraid you will be scared to death.

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head slightly.

"Let's talk about it later."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Queen Zhang had to give up for the time being.

The queen is here, and Emperor Hongzhi is no longer ready to deal with political affairs.

The couple slept in bed, brewing sleepiness.

...

Yesterday, because of the prince's affairs, Emperor Hongzhi rarely stopped court.

It is not easy to stop working today.

Otherwise, the people below will definitely have various speculations.

But when I went to court, I didn’t concentrate on the past. I always felt that the news about the prince would be sent back at any time.

Whatever the people below said was basically vague.

It's getting late, so logically, new news should be sent back.

He had already explained before going to court.

As long as there is news about the prince, no matter whether he or she goes to court or not, he must report it to him immediately.

Now it's almost time to go to court, and there is no news yet.

Seeing the emperor looking absent-minded and looking at the outside of the hall frequently, the people below were a little confused.

Your Majesty would not be so distracted when he went to court in the past. What happened today?

I had a rare break yesterday.
