    Chapter 160

    After Xie Ling left, when he arrived at the duty room of the Ministry of War, all the members and chief officers lined up, greeted him in unison, and respectfully waited for the arrangements of his new boss.

    Xie Ling smiled and did not sit down. He just stood with them and said calmly: "No need to be polite. You and I were colleagues before and we will be in the future. I just hope that you will work together and get the job done."  , the previous rules remain the same.¡±

    Everyone responded in unison and went about their own business. Du Yongan came over, raised his hands to Xie Ling and said with a smile, "Congratulations, sir, on your promotion."

    Xie Ling smiled, and a small official came in from outside. He bowed respectfully to Xie Ling first, and then said, "Thank you, sir. Master Yu is back. I asked my subordinate to invite you over."

    Yu Bo is the left minister of the Ministry of War and Xie Ling's immediate superior. He nodded, thanked the young official, and then went to see him. Yu Zuo, the minister of war, was nearly forty years old. Unlike the minister of the Ministry of War, he had a slender face and a slender jaw.  With a long beard, he looked a bit like a scholar. He naturally encouraged Xie Ling and expressed his closeness in both words. His meaning was basically the same as what the Minister of War said, asking Xie Ling to do his job well.  , serving the imperial court and so on.

    Xie Ling answered everyone respectfully. When he walked out the door, he ran into an old acquaintance. They both stopped. The man's expression was calm, and he smiled, bowed his hands and said, "See you later, official."  Thank you, sir."

    Xie Ling also nodded and said with a smile: "Please take care of your business."

    Gu Meipo smiled so much that he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Thank you for your promotion, sir. It's really rude of me for not sending my congratulations in time."

    His tone was very sincere, as if he felt it from the bottom of his heart. Xie Ling did not make him look bad, but just smiled and said, "Master, you have a good intention, so don't worry about it. I still have some things to do, so I won't be with you for now."

    After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly, walked around Gu Meipo, and walked forward. When he reached the end of the corridor, Xie Ling still felt the gaze falling on his back. He remembered what Dou Mingxuan said a while ago,  The emperor asked him to join the Ministry of War, and at the same time he also let in the person recommended by the prince, who turned out to be Gu Meipo.

    He is indeed the prince's man.

    In mid-February, the Rong enemy invaded the border again. The Qian Dynasty was defeated and retreated to Luocheng. In early March, Luocheng was defeated and the prefect died in the city, with a loss of 48,000 soldiers. The army retreated to Louhaiguan, 800 miles away.  The urgent report was like a sharp arrow, galloping along with the messenger's horse hooves, piercing into the heart of the Qian Dynasty, the capital.

    Horse hooves trampled the official road, and the dust flew up, attracting pedestrians to avoid it. They walked smoothly all the way to the palace gate. They could see the eaves and corners of the palace wall flying up, the glazed tiles shining brightly in the early spring sunshine, and the hoarse voice of the messenger came from afar,  The prosperity of this faction in the capital was torn apart: "Report - the border crossing is eight hundred miles away and urgent!!!"

    The screams passed through the air and faintly entered the Jinluan Palace. The ongoing court discussion stopped suddenly. Everyone seemed to be aware of it and turned around to see. Emperor Xuanhe stood up from the dragon chair and stared blankly.  Outside the main hall, the bright sunshine was extremely dazzling. He said in a deep voice: "Come, go and bring him here."

    From this moment on, the entire court of the Qian Dynasty was shaken by this urgent border report

    Emperor Xuanhe immediately ordered the mobilization of troops from the state capital to go to Lou Customs for reinforcements, and immediately transported grain and grass to resist the enemy. However, emergency reports came like snow flakes from the front line, all of which were bad news.

    On March 8th, the enemy began to attack the city. In just ten days, Louhaiguan fell and the army retreated again. On March 25th, the army retreated to Yulian Pass. If Yulian Pass was broken, the entire Central Plains would fall.  The enemy was open, and Daqian Dynasty was like a soldier who took off his armor, allowing the enemy to slaughter him.

    On March 27, General Pingyuan died in battle. At the same time, documents demanding tribute from the enemy were sent to the capital, which aroused Emperor Xuanhe's anger.

    The weather was gloomy, just like the mood of all Daqian people, with dark clouds. In the afternoon, it began to rain mist. The capital was located in the north, so even a light rain was very rough, and it soon tended to become continuous.  .

    Shi Hua stood at the door of the house and saw the Pingyuan General's Mansion opposite. The former high-gate mansion was now hung with white cloth, fluttering in the wind, like a traveler without direction.

    The faint sound of crying made the sky become increasingly gloomy and the atmosphere sad. The curls of incense candle smoke rose in the drizzle and gradually disappeared.

    The rain gradually became heavier, and Zhu Zhu whispered: "Madam, the wind is getting strong, let's go back, be careful of catching a cold."

    As soon as she finished speaking, a carriage drove up from a distance. The wheels rolled across the bluestone road and stopped at the door of the house. Zhu Zhu's eyes lit up and she said, "It's the master who is back."

    Xie Ling got off the carriage and saw Shi Hua standing there.?, I fell into the pool again and suffered a little cold. I just prescribed a dose of cold-repelling soup, but otherwise there was no big problem.  "

    The Crown Princess did not move. Her face was unusually white under the candlelight. After hearing this, she just said casually: "After all, he will not die before me. It's okay. I'm sorry to bother the doctor."

    The imperial doctor panicked and said, "Your Majesty, it's your duty to be polite."

    After the prescription was written and handed over to the palace attendant, the imperial doctor said goodbye and left. The princess stood up. Her figure was thin and thin, as slender as a grass stem. It seemed that it would break with the slightest force.  People who have suffered from chronic illness are extremely weak.

    She walked to the couch and took a look, and was about to leave when she heard the prince suddenly call out a name. The princess just listened and repeated to herself: "Hua'er"

    After the princess finished reciting, she looked at the prince again, smiled sarcastically, softly called the palace servants, and ordered: "Go and invite your highness's Hua'er over. Let her serve your highness today. I am a little sleepy."  ¡±

    After she finished speaking, she left, leaving a room of palace people looking at each other in confusion. It took a long time before a voice cautiously broke the silence: "Is there any empress in our house named Hua'er?" (Remember this site)  Website: www.hlnovel.com
