   Chapter 303 Sacred Heart (2)

   The next day, Lu Mingyu brought a pair of children to Jiaofang Palace to greet him. Queen Qiao lost her usual smile and Yanyan, and her expression became a little gloomy: "Did Ah Jing tell you about leading troops to fight?"

  Lu Mingyu did not deny: "Yes."

   Queen Qiao really wanted to express her anger: "Why didn't you tell this palace earlier?"

  Lu Mingyu replied calmly: "Of course, it is appropriate for His Royal Highness to talk to his mother in person about such important matters."

   Queen Qiao's eyes were slightly red: "He is so self-willed, why don't you persuade him. Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Is fighting a fun thing? That's taking the head and earning credit!"

"What my mother said is." Lu Mingyu replied lightly: "My grandfather is a military general, my father is a military general, my eldest brother-in-law, and my second brother are all in the military camp. No one knows better than me what it is like to be born and die. ."

  Queen Joe: "..."

   Queen Qiao realized that she had made a slip of the tongue.

   Queen Qiao lowered her body and said in a low voice, "Bengong is in a hurry and the words are inappropriate. Don't take it to heart."

   "The queen mother is worried about the safety of Her Highness. I can understand this feeling." Lu Mingyu did not hold on to Queen Qiao's gaffe, and her voice softened:

   "It's just that Your Highness also has His Highness's consideration. This battle is too important. If Your Highness does not lead the troops in person, how can you suppress all the princes in the future, and how can you convince the civil servants and military generals?"

  Empress Qiao felt bad for her son again, and she was not unreasonable, she sighed: "I can't help my mother, and this palace can't do anything about him."

  Lu Mingyu smiled to appease Queen Qiao: "Great Wei is powerful, with more than 200,000 elite soldiers, and the generals are brave and not afraid of death. In this battle, Great Wei will win."

   Queen Qiao cheered up and nodded, and couldn't help but added in a low voice: "You met King Xingyang, and asked him to take care of Ajing in private."

  Lu Mingyu nodded in agreement.

  …

   Twenty-eight years ago, at the last great court meeting in the ninth year of Yongjia, Emperor Yongjia decreed that in February of the following year, the army would go on an expedition. The crown prince and the eldest prince and the third prince went on the expedition together, while the fourth prince and the fifth prince stayed in the palace.

  The officials of the East Palace faction already knew about this and were not surprised.

   Several princes were shocked.

  The eldest prince came out immediately, cupped his hands and said, "Father, the emperor personally leads the troops, and it is only natural for the sons and ministers to follow. The second brother is the prince of the Great Wei, and he should be left to supervise the country."

   The eldest prince has long made a wishful thinking, and will take advantage of this battle to make a difference. Who would have thought that the crown prince also wanted to come to grab military merit, how could the eldest prince not feel annoyed in his heart?

   However, he spoke in a high-sounding manner without revealing the slightest bit of selfishness.

  Li Hao also came out to play: "My son thinks that the elder brother is right. The prince should stay in the court, so that the father and emperor can lead the army to fight without any distractions."

  The fourth prince came out not to be outdone: "My son wants to go out with the father and the emperor."

  The eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother are all gone, so why leave him alone?

  Emperor Yongjia swept his eyes and passed the faces of his sons with different expressions: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more."

   A group of princes: "..."

  The princes had a grey nose and had to shut their mouths.

   After the dynasty was dispersed, Emperor Yongjia summoned his four sons into the Wenhua Hall: "The prince took the initiative to invite him for the expedition. After careful consideration, I accepted the invitation of the prince."

   "Fighting tiger brothers, father and son soldiers. You brothers must work together to defeat Yanchu together."

  The words are all about this, and it is useless for them to object.

   The eldest prince cheered up and was the first to answer: "My son, I will obey the father's order."

   Li Hao followed closely: "My father's teachings are all written down by my sons and ministers."

   As the crown prince, Li Jing also wanted to show the bearing and demeanor that belonged to the crown prince. He said sternly: "Father, don't worry, my son will not compete with the eldest brother and the third brother for credit. When the army returns in victory, my son will definitely ask for their credit."

  Emperor Yongjia's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he nodded slightly: "It's better if you can think so. Remember, you are all my sons and brothers. Brothers are united, and their profits will cut gold."

  The princes agreed.

   Only the fourth prince had a bitter face: "Father, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are all with the army, why only one of the children is left?"

   He also really wants to go, okay?

  Making achievements and making a career are the four words engraved in the hearts of all passionate young people.

  Emperor Yongjia glanced at the fourth prince: "You stay in the court, if you have anything to do, send me a letter in time."

   "Father..."

   "The Zhao family is not pregnant yet, you don't even have an heir, what battle are you fighting in." Emperor Yongjia glared at the past: "Leave me honestly."

  The Fourth Prince: "..."

   The fourth prince responded in a sullen mood.

  Emperor Yongjia waved his hand, signaling his sons to step back.

   After the princes left the Wenhua Palace, they looked at each other.

  The eldest prince praised Li Jing hypocritically: "Second brother is admirable for taking risks with himself."

   Li Jing responded calmly: "Everyone has only one life. Big brother is going to the battlefield, how can I hide behind others."

   The eldest prince was pushed back and snorted inexplicably. In contrast, Li Hao was much calmer and didn't say a word.

  The fourth prince let out a listless sigh: "You are all gone, it's too boring for me to stay in the palace."

   The eldest prince said: "You still have enough strength, let's talk about having a son!"

  The Fourth Prince: "..."

  …

   This imperial decree was soon introduced into the harem.

   Empress Dowager Zhao clapped her palm and couldn't hide her joy: "It's just right for the fourth prince to stay."

   How safe is it to stay in the capital!

   Concubine Qin was also full of joy, but when she saw Queen Qiao's not-so-beautiful face, she didn't dare to talk too much.

   Concubine Su frowned slightly and looked at Lu Mingyu subconsciously.

   Strange, why didn't Lu Mingyu persuade Li Jing to let him go to the battlefield? Isn't she worried that Li Jing died on the battlefield like in his previous life?

  Wait, Lu Mingyu didn't want to give birth to a son in the name of himself and wanted to be the queen mother directly!

   Concubine Su became more and more frightened as she thought about it, and couldn't help but look at Lu Mingyu again.

  Lu Mingyu ignored Su Fei's attention at all.

   After noon, Concubine Su sent a message. Li Hao got the message and hurriedly entered the Yihua Palace: "What is the reason for the concubine mother to see me?"

   Concubine Su frowned and said in a low voice, "Ahao, no matter what I think, it doesn't feel right. The prince can stay in the capital, so why go to the battlefield to fight to the death?"

  Desperate for life?

  Li Hao's heart moved slightly, and he said calmly: "The Great Wei has a large number of soldiers, and Yan Chu is no match. This time to conquer Yan Chu is an unparalleled achievement. Why do you want to fight to the death?"

   Concubine Su's brows furrowed even tighter: "How can it be so easy to fight. There are so many arrows on the battlefield, if you are shot, the deeds of the world will not be accomplished, and you will lose your life first, why bother."

  So, who was the person shot by the stray arrow?

   Li Hao's eyes fell on Concubine Su's face.
