When Emperor Ouyang Chen was preparing to write an edict and send troops to North Vietnam, he discovered a fatal problem: the imperial seal was missing.
This is something that the emperor uses to seal his identity, and it is also a symbol of the country. If such an important item is missing, if it falls into the hands of others, the consequences will be disastrous.
It can subvert the imperial court.
Ouyang Chen broke into a cold sweat when he thought of such consequences.
The jade seal was usually stored in the imperial study, and I didn't pay much attention to it when it disappeared. But such an important thing was heavily guarded outside the study, so how could it disappear?
The eunuchs on duty were mobilized to search together, and almost all the places in the study room where things could be placed were searched. When Luan Xiaoqing came, they analyzed the situation and unanimously concluded that the things had been stolen.[
It’s terrible! The imperial seal has been stolen. Even though the imperial edict has been drafted, it cannot be sent out. How can we manage the country?
Ouyang Chen was so angry that he almost jumped on his feet, his handsome face was livid, he shouted away everyone in the study, and whispered to Luan Xiaoqing: "What do you think about this?"
"I don't know who did it. This matter must be investigated slowly. The person who stole the jade seal cannot take it for nothing. It must have a purpose. We will wait and see what happens."
"I also have this intention, but North Vietnam is so arrogant. If we don't send troops to give them some color, I'm afraid it will make them even more arrogant." Ouyang Chen said worriedly.
"Your Majesty, this matter has been discussed with General Liu Xiang. Now is a good time to send troops. Even if there is no imperial edict, the Emperor can use his personal seal to write a secret edict and give it to General Liu, who will send the Thirteenth Prince to lead the troops.
, then everything will be safe.
Wouldn’t it be better if our troops secretly gathered at the border, lurked day and night, without being noticed, and could kill the North Vietnamese by surprise?"
As soon as Luan Xiaoqing's words came out, the gloom on Ouyang Chen's face was swept away. He happily walked over, patted his shoulder, and praised: "Luan Aiqing's analysis is still reasonable. Look at me now, confused and confused.
Already."
Luan Xiaoqing was a little embarrassed to be praised. She had a face that was as charming as a woman's. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly and her eyes were slightly lowered. She had a shy expression: "Your Majesty, thank you. It's because your Majesty has been worried about too many things recently. He suddenly forgot to ask for anything."
It’s really strange to do this.”
"Anyway, what Luan Aiqing said makes sense. I will start drafting the document and stamp it with my seal so that when General Liu sends troops, he can take it to the border and hand it over to the commander there."
After Ouyang Chen finished speaking, he walked back to his desk and began to draft the details of sending troops, including who would lead the troops and who would participate. Finally, he took out a seal engraved with his own name and stamped it solemnly.
, handed it over to Luan Xiaoqing.
The matter was revealed. It was rumored that the imperial seal had been stolen, and the news was strictly sealed in the palace and among the people. Anyone who spread the news would be killed.
Just as Luan Xiaoqing analyzed it, if the jade seal was stolen, the thief must have some purpose.
When the secret news came that the thief had appeared and offered exchange conditions before he was willing to return the jade seal, Ouyang Chen could hardly believe his eyes.
