   Chapter 329 Edge (1)

   Comparing the two evils, choose the lesser.

   Queen Qiao pondered silently for a moment, and finally made up her mind: "You are right! This palace will call upon the elders of Qiao Ge and the others to discuss this matter."

   paused and said: "You also go to Wenhua Hall with this palace!"

   I always feel that my daughter-in-law is more confident around me.

  Lu Mingyu responded without thinking.

   Queen Qiao was not an indecisive person either. After she made up her mind, she no longer hesitated, and immediately passed the word of mouth. Xuan summoned Qiao Ge Lao and the six ministers to enter the Wenhua Palace to discuss matters, and the fourth prince also received the oral order and hurried to the Wenhua Palace.

   Coincidentally, I met Queen Qiao and Lu Mingyu outside the hall.

   Abruptly met each other, the fourth prince looked shocked and blurted out: "Second sister-in-law, why are you here!"

  Lu Mingyu glanced at the fourth prince: "Why, can't I come?"

The fourth prince is so clever, he immediately restrained his stupid chin, and laughed again and again: "I said something wrong, second sister-in-law, don't take it to heart. Now the father and the second brother are leading troops outside, and the palace The second sister-in-law is the second sister-in-law besides the mother and the queen who can be in charge. The second sister-in-law and the mother and queen should come together. "

  When the emperor is not present, the queen can represent the emperor. The same can be proved by the same reason, if the prince is not there, the princess should also come forward!

   Queen Qiao was the first time to formally intervene in political affairs, and she was very anxious. She was amused by the dog-legged expression of the fourth prince, and her expression became a little calmer: "Okay, don't be snarky, let's talk about it in the hall."

   On weekdays, Queen Qiao didn’t like seeing the Fourth Prince very much. At this time, I feel like a family after all. When it matters, there is still one heart.

  The fourth prince was very obedient, and he deliberately let Lu Mingyu go first.

  Lu Mingyu was not polite, and helped Queen Qiao into the Wenhua Hall.

  …

   There are seven members of the cabinet, and two take turns to be on duty in the palace every day, in case there is any urgent matter to be dealt with. The people who stayed in the palace today happened to be Qiao Ge Lao and Luo Shangshu.

  After Queen Qiao gave her oral order, Qiao Ge Lao and Luo Shangshu came soon.

   Qiao Ge is old, and his pace is not slow at all. Luo Shangshu whispered to Qiao Ge Lao while walking: "The matter of dispatching troops to pacify the chaos must not be delayed any longer. Now even the empress has been disturbed, and a constitution must be made today!"

   Old Qiao Ge said solemnly: "No matter what, let the capital be the most important."

   Luo Shangshu nodded slightly.

   He and Qiao Ge had a close personal relationship and shared political views. In this matter, he is also out of consideration for the overall situation and has no selfishness.

   The two entered the Wenhua Hall, and as soon as they looked up, they saw the Crown Princess Lu Mingyu standing safely beside Queen Qiao, and twitched the corners of her mouth at the same time.

  The harem shall not interfere in politics.

  The matter is urgent to follow the power, it is really a dispute among the cabinet ministers, and I have to alarm Queen Qiao. What is Lu Mingyu coming to join in the fun?

Qiao Ge is not only the first assistant, but also the father of Queen Qiao, his waist is straight and full of confidence, and he is not very polite, so he directly said: "Today we are discussing military affairs, and it is not right to disturb the empress, please avoid the concubine. "

   Queen Qiao was not good at beating her own father, so she quickly glanced at Lu Mingyu.

I saw that Lu Mingyu's brows did not move, and her expression was light: "My mother came from a scholarly family, and I have never practiced martial arts or read military books, so I don't know anything about military use. I came here today to be my mother's ear. I also don't want anyone to fool my mother. "

   "Qiao Ge asked me to avoid it when he opened his mouth, which made me have to wonder. Could it be that Qiao Ge is always afraid that I will hear something wrong?"

  Elder Qiao Ge was so choked by his grandson's daughter-in-law that he almost couldn't get up, and his face sank: "The old minister is loyal, and everything he thinks is for the sake of Wei!"

"If that's the case, why should Elder Qiao care about me accompanying my mother?" Lu Mingyu's tone was indifferent but sharp: "Furthermore, it was the rule of the previous dynasty that the harem was not allowed to do politics. The previous dynasty was dead, and the laws of the Great Wei were not remembered. Follow this one."

   Old Qiao Ge: "..."

   Luo Shangshu was speechless in his heart.

   I have long heard that the Crown Princess is so powerful. Seeing it with my own eyes today is even more famous. Even the Queen's own father came back like this.

   Queen Qiao saw Old Qiao Ge look ugly, coughed lightly, and glanced at Lu Mingyu: "Ms. Lu, don't be rude to Old Ge."

   That is not only the first assistant in the court, but also the father of the queen, and the grandfather of the prince.

  Lu Mingyu smiled at Queen Qiao: "The mother is too worried. Qiao Ge is always the first assistant of the court and has a broad mind. How can he care about a woman."

   says this. Is it narrow-minded to be angry with him?

Qiao Ge was so uncomfortable that he was blocked, but he didn't mean to shut up. He opened his mouth and said: "The princess insisted on staying, and the old minister is inconvenient to talk. However, this matter is very important. Although the princess was born in the general family, she studied martial arts and read the military book. , but never led a soldier. I only know a little about military affairs. I will discuss matters later, and ask the princess to listen more and say less."

   It's almost like saying "don't make trouble if you don't understand if you don't understand".

  Lu Mingyu's eyes became brighter and sharper, and he looked at Qiao Ge: "Yao Shangshu and the others haven't come yet, I have nothing to do, first ask Qiao Ge a few words."

  Old Qiao Ge endured and did not hum: "Prince Concubine, but if you have any questions, the old minister must know everything."

   "What I want to ask, I'm afraid that Qiao Ge's knowledge is limited."

  Lu Mingyu unceremoniously slammed Qiao Ge again: "The fourth prince has already told me about the civil unrest. It is imminent to pacify the unrest. What is the reason for the court not to send elites to quickly pacify the chaos?"

   Old Qiao frowned and quickly glanced at the fourth prince.

  The fourth prince looked at his nose and his heart and pretended to be a stake.

Old Qiao Ge snorted again in his heart, and replied patiently: "When the army is launched, there are only 20,000 defenders and 30,000 Guards left in the capital. If the elites are sent, the Guards must be sent. As a result, the capital is empty. ."

   "Once there is a change, the capital will be in danger! The lessons of the previous dynasties are vivid in my eyes, so we must guard against it!"

   What Qiao Ge said is not unreasonable. It's just too harsh.

  Luo Shangshu cleared his throat and took over the words in a warm voice: "What Qiao Ge said is quite reasonable. There must be no mistakes in the capital! You can send 5,000 soldiers out of Beijing for reinforcements, and then return to Beijing after quelling the civil unrest."

  Lu Mingyu restrained his smile, and his voice became a little colder: "The garrison has been retreating steadily, and its morale is completely lost. Sending 5,000 soldiers to the garrison is not reinforcement, but to send heads."

  Luo Shangshu: "..."

Luo Shangshu resisted the urge to touch his nose and continued to rebut in a warm voice: "The Crown Princess said that, it is a bit alarmist. According to the battle report, the number of civilians and bandits is about 10,000. There are still 5,000 troops in the garrison. Go, it's enough to handle..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Mingyu: "The battle report is a few days ago. The DPRK and the Central Committee are still arguing over this matter, and if they send troops to go, it will take a few days on the road. If you count it, it's nearly half a month. time. Who can guarantee that there will be only 10,000 bandits with 5,000 people in the army by then?”
