Chapter 276: Legend of Zhen Huan - Yun Li 22
Yunli knew the emperor's concerns and did not make things difficult for him. At the morning court on the second day, he took the initiative to bring up the issue of the northwest and volunteered to go to the battle.
Prince Guo's request caused an uproar in the court.
They didn't expect that Prince Guo, who had been idle all the time, would take the initiative to go to such a dangerous place as the northwest.
Some ministers looked at Prince Guo with calculating eyes.
When Yunli became Prince Guo, he was originally the object of currying favor with many noble families in the capital. However, Prince Guo later married a commoner woman and even announced that he would only have one wife in his life.
Few people believed this, and some even went to the Queen Mother and the Emperor, asking them to give them women to live in Prince Guo's backyard.
As a result, neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor would give Yunli any women in his backyard, which made some ministers resent Yunli.
This time Yunli was going to the northwest, and those ministers thought about it and felt that this was the best time to take revenge on Prince Guo. They agreed with Prince Guo's words with evil intentions and asked the emperor to agree to Prince Guo's request.
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at those ministers. He took a hard note of them in his heart and would settle the score with them someday.
Some of the wiser ministers refrained from expressing their opinions and just stood by and watched their colleagues commit suicide.
Prince Guo is now the emperor's most beloved brother. Everything goes according to Prince Guo's wishes. He can be said to be doted on to the utmost.
If Prince Guo had not volunteered to go to the Northwest this time, the Emperor probably would not have wanted Prince Guo to go to the bitter and cold place of the Northwest.
It's a pity that some people are so blinded by greed that they can't see the truth and are committing suicide.
Those wise ministers mourned in their hearts for their colleagues who were jumping up and down, hoping that they would not be punished too severely by the emperor in the future.
At this morning court session, the emperor still did not agree to allow Prince Guo to go to the northwest. He only said that Prince Guo was emotionally out of control due to the death of his mother, so he gave him a few days off and asked him to have a good rest at home. He would resume his morning court session when his emotions were stable.
Yunli had no choice but to stay at home.
But Yunli was not discouraged.
The men he had placed in the northwest would soon weaken the strength of those disobedient forces.
By the time the chaos in the northwest comes to an end, he will go to the emperor for help, and the emperor may agree to let him go to the northwest.
There were two main reasons why Yunli went to the northwest. One was before his "fake death plan" was successfully implemented, and the other was that he hoped to share some of the burden with the emperor before he left, so as to reduce the guilt of leaving.
He is the only brother the emperor can talk to. After he leaves, the emperor may be truly alone.
Second, as a prince of the Qing Dynasty, he must make some contribution to the Qing Dynasty before his death.
Although Yunli felt guilty towards the emperor, he knew how much the emperor would be wary of his brothers in his later years. Especially when his health was gradually failing, he would become more suspicious of the people around him.
He didn't want to end up with him and his royal brother being suspicious of each other, which would end up hurting both sides.
The purpose of his trip to the Northwest was to completely incorporate all Northwestern forces into the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
After resting at home for a few days, Prince Guo submitted a petition requesting the resumption of the morning court sessions.
The emperor looked at the memorial about the northwest on the desk, thought about it, and agreed.
He was thinking: Now that the melee between the forces in the northwest has come to an end, it shouldn't be too dangerous for Yunli to go there at this time. If he proposes to go to the northwest again, he will definitely agree.
Yunli is already married, so it's time for him to make plans for the future of his wife and children. Let Yunli go to the northwest to make military achievements. Then his wife and children will have a better life, and he will definitely reward Yunli's wife and children well.
That's right. After deep thought over the past few days, the emperor felt that Yunli's trip to the northwest to quell the war was to plan for the future of his wife and children.
If Yunli were still an idle prince now, there would not be much security for his wife's future.
The emperor felt that he had figured out Yunli's purpose of going to the northwest.
The next morning at the court, Yunli again proposed to garrison the northwest, and the emperor agreed without hesitation.
He was also sent to the northwest with some capable subordinates so that he could have help in handling matters.
Yunli did not refuse and agreed.
On the day Yunli set out for the northwest, Su Qingqing stood at the city gate and watched Yunli leave.
When she could no longer see the troops, Su Qingqing withdrew her gaze and turned to go to the palace.
When the Queen Mother saw Su Qingqing, she was shocked when she knew the purpose of Su Qingqing's visit to her. "Are you sure you want to go to Anqi Temple?"
"Yes." Su Qingqing, who was kneeling in front of the Queen Mother, said in a resounding voice: "Your Highness is going to the Northwest. Your daughter-in-law cannot stop him, nor can she follow him. She can only go to the Buddha and pray for your safe return."
The Queen Mother advised again, "Anqi Temple is a very deserted place. The food, clothing, shelter and transportation there cannot be compared to your current life, or even to your previous life. Are you sure you want to go?"
Su Qingqing remained calm and said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law has made up her mind."
Seeing Su Qingqing's serious expression, the Queen Mother looked at her carefully and thought to herself, "Yunli has found a good wife."
"Okay! I agree, but you are the prince's wife, so you can't follow all the rules in Anqi Temple. I will send a few maids to take care of your daily life."
Seeing that Su Qingqing was about to refuse, the Queen Mother said, "You are the wife chosen by Yunli himself. Yunli is fighting outside. I can't let his wife live a miserable life in Anqi Temple."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingqing remained silent. She did not refute and followed the Queen Mother's arrangements.
When the emperor knew about this, he had the same idea as the empress dowager.
I think Mrs. Yunli is a good wife.
The emperor even ordered the renovation of Anqi Temple and then let Su Qingqing live there.
Su Qingqing didn't object either.
It was just that Su Qingqing mentioned this in the letter to Yunli.
Yunli asked her to wait and see and wait for his news.
The news that Prince Guo's wife was going to Anqi Temple to pray for Prince Guo soon spread.
Everyone was silent for a moment.
They didn't expect that the commoner woman who became Prince Guo's wife would give up enjoying wealth and glory and choose to go to such a deserted nunnery to pray for Prince Guo.
For a moment, the rumors that Su Qingqing was not worthy of Prince Guo disappeared.
Instead, it was rumored that Prince Guo and his wife were extremely loving and that they were a perfect match.
And those rich girls who hated Su Qingqing because they could not become Prince Guo's women, all pretended to be dumb.
If they were the wives of Prince Guo, even if Prince Guo was not in the capital, their lives would definitely be much better. After all, in the Forbidden City, the two most important figures were the patrons of Prince Guo's mansion, and their lives would have been very comfortable. They had wealth and splendor to enjoy, so why would they stay in a desolate place like Anqi Temple?
I heard that Fu Jin still plans to wait in Anqi Temple until Prince Guo returns.
When Meng Jingxian knew about this, she also sighed: Prince Guo’s wife really loves Prince Guo.
