Claiming to be sick

Coupled with jealousy, he simply claimed that he was ill and couldn't get out of it.

The eleventh prince became the crown prince, the status of Imperial Concubine Shu soared, and even the Prince of Yannan County became very popular.

On the contrary, the Prince of Shu's palace became deserted.

As the saying goes, one goes down and the other goes up.

Zhang Gaoqiu had not seen his daughter Zhang Qiaoqiao for more than half a month. After two encounters with Prince Xuan's palace, he turned around and went to see the emperor.

The emperor seemed to know his purpose, so he said that the dragon was not feeling well and avoided seeing him.

Zhang Gaoqiu was so angry that he died.

I think he has been fighting for decades and made great contributions to Daxuan. When did he ever feel so cowardly?

In anger, he also complained of illness.

Ying Ning was the first group of people in the palace to get the news.

Her first feeling was that the situation was not good.

Sure enough, every two days, news came from the southeastern coast that Japanese pirates had once again invaded in large numbers, killing many fishermen and businessmen along the coast, burning, killing, and looting, and even pregnant women who were pregnant with Liujia were not spared.

This caused great anger among the local people, and local officials requested the imperial court to send troops to suppress the Japanese.

The emperor immediately summoned Zhang Gaoqiu.

However, Zhang Gaoqiu claimed to be ill again.

The emperor sent an imperial physician to his home to treat him, but he refused again. Even the imperial physician was kicked out.

Such domineering and arrogant behavior made the emperor very angry and also aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers in the court.

No matter how high his merits are, he is still just a minister. When the people along the coast are suffering from Japanese pirates, he uses this to threaten him. It is simply killing!

The emperor had been dissatisfied with Zhang Gaoqiu for a long time, but now he was just suppressing it.

Zhang Gaoqiu's meaning was very clear. If he wanted to go to war, his daughter would have to be released.

It's just a woman. The emperor doesn't take Zhang Qiaoqiao seriously, so it doesn't matter whether he lets her go or not.

But the question is, if Zhang Qiaoqiao is just let go, where will the emperor's face go?

Did he just succumb to Zhang Gaoqiu's threats?

For three days in a row, the emperor couldn't sleep and was distracted by the war on the southeast coast.

Except for Concubine Ming, no other concubine dared to take the initiative to approach the emperor to avoid suffering the disaster of Chiyu.

Ming Fei is not familiar with worldly affairs, but she can often say unexpected things.

When she was having dinner with the emperor, she said: "Is Zhang Gaoqiu the only one in our court who knows how to fight? I remember that the prince of Yannan County is also very good at fighting."

The emperor said: "In terms of strategy and force, Li Yanxing is no worse than Zhang Gaoqiu. But the problem is that Li Yanxing is not good at naval battles. What's more, he still needs to guard the west. He can no longer be distracted by looking after the southeast."

"Then send someone else." Concubine Ming said, "Zhang Gaoqiu is getting old. The court must train a few new people to replace him."

"Why don't I know? It's just that I couldn't find a suitable candidate for the time being."

"I think there is someone who is very suitable for me."

"My beloved concubine, how many generals can you recognize?" The emperor sneered and shook his head, chewing the tasteless food.

Concubine Ming said: "That day at His Majesty's birthday banquet, I heard someone mention General Xiaotang, praising him as the bravest and bravest among the younger generation of Daxuan. Could it be that even he can't do it?"

The emperor glanced at Concubine Ming, thoughtfully, and then relieved.

With Concubine Ming's mind and brains, no one would be stupid enough to ask her to be a lobbyist.

"It seems that my beloved concubine is very optimistic about Tang Qing?" the emperor asked.

"It's hard for me to say whether I'm good or bad." Concubine Ming took a chopstick of food to the emperor, "I just don't want your majesty to be angry with Zhang Gaoqiu anymore."
