I remember the first time I heard that the emperor was going to fight in person, Gu Jinzhi was just pregnant at that time.

At that time, she grabbed Zhu Zhongjun's arm very fragilely, hoping that he would not leave him. Then, the emperor indeed kept Zhu Zhongjun in the court and assisted the prince in charge of the country.

Gu Jinzhi felt very lucky at that time.

Now, Zhu Zhongjun said that he would go to war, and the Northwest War must have failed.

The emperor had never fought a war and probably did not have outstanding leadership skills.

Leading troops to fight is a test of ability.

The army of more than 100,000 seems to be very prominent. It takes ability to form a human-like Great Wall like steel.

War is not a group fight. There is no such thing as a large number of people. It doesn’t mean you can win safely.

There are countless examples of how few wins more.

It is very difficult to command an army.

This time the emperor went on a war, he personally directed it.

Now that the war has failed, Gu Jinzhi thinks it is reasonable.

The one who is born to lead troops is the God of War, and it is difficult to get one in hundreds of years. Other excellent military strategists rely on experience. Without the experience of many battles, they want to lead a good army and even win

The enemy is a dream.

The emperor was born in the palace, and his personal expedition did boost morale. However, his personal expedition also brought constraints to those who were truly capable of commanding the army.

"The war in the west has some failures..." Zhu Zhongjun saw that Gu Jinzhi did not speak, and explained to her, "I reported to Beijing secretly and said that the emperor was seriously ill and could no longer get on the horse and needed to return to Beijing to rest. The temporary change of the head coach will have a greater impact on morale.

.There will not be a victory in this war. The Minister of War serves as the head coach. The Empress Dowager and the Prince asked me to go with me. The main purpose is to protect the emperor and bring him back safely."

He deliberately said it simpler, hoping that Gu Jinzhi would rest assured.

How could Gu Jinzhi feel relieved?

She had an idea in her mind, and she was always rushing.

"You said, is the emperor dead?" she asked Zhu Zhongjun.

Zhu Zhongjun's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his mood was extremely complicated.

"No." Zhu Zhongjun said, "The Empress Dowager has a close confidant in the army. She didn't trust the prince and told me privately that the emperor was sick. She asked me to bring a doctor with excellent ability. I thought about it, I wanted to bring him with me.

Qin Shensi passed."

Gu Jinzhi breathed slowly.

It would be great that the emperor was not dead.

Now, he cannot die.

"You have never been to the battlefield, be careful in everything." Gu Jin's way.

She knew that she couldn't escape.

So, she stopped saying bad things and just reminded Zhu Zhongjun.

Zhu Zhongjun kissed her sideburns.

At night, it suddenly became colder, and the Qionghua was like a layer of green frost covering the body.

Gu Jinzhi shrank into Zhu Zhongjun's arms.

Somehow, the child in his belly kicked her restlessly, as if she was trying to keep Zhu Zhongjun. Gu Jinzhi felt ashamed of his thoughts.

What does the child who is still in his stomach know?

"When will you leave?" she asked Zhu Zhongjun.

"You have to prepare for about a month." Zhu Zhongjun said. Things are urgent, so you can't wait too long to transfer the army.

The march requires preparation. It is not something you can leave just by saying that you can go. This time you say that you are going to pick up the emperor, but you can't tell the people of the world. You can only say that you can reinforce the Western Expedition, so you naturally need to mobilize troops.

In the future, when I take back the emperor, I only need to say that the war in the west is a great victory. The emperor is worried about the people of the world and state affairs, so he returns to Beijing early. The remaining soldiers are cleaning up the mess and will be triumphant soon.

Gu Jinzhi nodded and said, "I wish this child could be born before you go to the northwest."

Zhu Zhongjun laughed and said, "I'm going to pick up the emperor. He is seriously ill and will definitely return to Beijing quickly. It can take at least two months and at most six months."

Gu Jinzhi was silent.

The fireworks have been gone, and the world has become silent, only the sound of the flute, sobbing, like someone's sob. Gu Jinzhi's mood plummeted.

*******

The prince received a secret report from the northwest on the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, saying that the emperor was seriously ill and needed to return to Beijing immediately, and asked people to send reinforcements to the Western Expedition.

When he received this secret report, the prince couldn't help but wonder: Is his father seriously ill or dead?

If he died...

The prince felt ache and tight.

He wanted to sit on the throne earlier, but he never had the idea of ​​extermination of human nature. He respected and loved his father.

He didn't want his father to die outside, so it was so hard.

So he immediately summoned Zhu Zhongjun and the cabinet chief minister to discuss countermeasures with several cabinet masters.

Everyone said that things should be done sooner rather than later. We should immediately send troops to reinforce the Western Expedition, and we should also send people to pick up the emperor and let the emperor return to Beijing safely.

Who will pick up the emperor?

When talking about this question, Gu Yantao glanced at Zhu Zhongjun.

Several cabinet masters also looked at Zhu Zhongjun.

Undoubtedly, Zhu Zhongjun is the best candidate.

The prince was not very relieved to Zhu Zhongjun. He trusted his teacher Yuan Yuye more. But when he thought about it carefully, the northwest was too dangerous and he could not send Yuan Yuye to the danger.

In the future, he still needs Yuan Yuye's to govern the country.

Zhu Zhongjun is the most suitable.

The prince agreed and decided to Zhu Zhongjun.

After finishing the court affairs, Zhu Zhongjun went to Renshou Palace to see the queen mother, while the prince returned to the East Palace.

He needed to wash clothes, take his wives and concubines to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother and the Queen to celebrate the holiday. No matter what big things happened, the apparent peace still needs to be maintained.

Back to the Eastern Palace, he went to the Crown Princess's side.

The Crown Princess Li hurriedly met him, served him with loose clothes, changed into a homely casual dress, and combed his hair with his own hands.

Li's hair combing skills are better than any palace maid.

She flew her hands and quickly put her hair on for the prince.

After she finished combing, the prince grabbed her hand, held it in front of her eyes and looked at it again and again.

Li's ten fingers are slender and long, white and shiny. The nails on the fingertips are not as trimmed as the elixir. They are trimmed short and neat and clean, not as long as other concubines.

Because she often had to comb the prince's hair, it was inconvenient to keep her nails.

"Your hands are so beautiful." The prince praised, and then suddenly asked, "Do you want to keep your nails? Like Chen Liangdi..."

Chen Liangdi has very beautiful nails, long and bright. After being maintained for many years, she has become two inches long.

The prince also loves Chen Liangdi's nails very much.

The main reason is that Chen Liangdi doesn’t like to decorate her nails. She is just dry and refreshing, slender and transparent as jade. The prince likes it when he sees it.

He likes simple and beautiful things.

This probably has something to do with his personality.

He is still a person who yearns for simplicity.

The Crown Princess smiled and said, "My nails are crisp and easy to break when they grow. Besides, keeping such long nails requires excellent patience in everything. Chen Liangdi is the most patient, but she is impatient.

No."

She didn't say a word that she couldn't keep her nails to comb the prince's hair.

The prince was even more moved.

He knew the Crown Princess's intentions.

Because the Crown Princess is not an impatient person.

Compared to being calm, no one in the Eastern Palace can compare to the Crown Princess.

"Okay." The prince smiled, "Chen Liangdi's fingers are short, so it looks good if she has nails. Your fingers are slender and white, so you don't need nail decoration."

The Crown Princess said yes.

Her attitude did not fluctuate at all.

The prince thought to himself, did he say some irrelevant nonsense?

Thinking of this, he felt a little embarrassed and stopped talking.
