Chapter 351: Chaos at the Border
Liang Chongyue left his scumbag father and walked to the books. He gently brushed the book cover and found that the "Forty-two National Strategies" on it were still gold-plated.
Although it is not as exquisite and mature as the hot stamping craftsmanship she had seen in her previous life, it is definitely the best craftsmanship in this era.
Liang Zhan sat on the dragon chair and waited for Chongyue to finish appreciating it before speaking:
"Come and get the key to the treasury, then go see your mother. Later, the emperor will send a gift from the treasury to your house."
Liang Chongyue turned around and saw an exquisite and small Qilin key in her father's hand. She felt that the Qilin pattern looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Liang Chongyue didn't think about it anymore since she couldn't remember it, but happily took the key from her scumbag father.
"Your Majesty, I thank you very much. Don't worry, I will manage the national treasury well and protect the future of the people of Daxia."
Liang Zhan never doubted what Chong Yue said. He smiled and waved at her. He caught a glimpse of the pile of memorials in the corner and sighed helplessly.
"Let's go. Father still has memorials to review, so I won't keep you here."
Liang Chongyue followed his father's gaze and smiled slightly, expressing deep sympathy for the pile of memorials that were as high as a hill. Then he quickly packed up the "Forty-two National Strategies" with Yunling and left the Yangxin Palace.
"Forty-two State Strategies" consists of only four books in total, which is not very thick, but it was written by the founding emperor of Daxia himself, and its value is self-evident.
Liang Chongyue left the Yangxin Palace and got on a sedan chair, heading towards his mother's Yiku Palace. When passing by the Imperial Garden, he heard the sound of women talking and laughing.
Normally, unless there is a banquet, there is less laughter like this in the palace.
Liang Chongyue sat on the sedan chair and calculated the time. Is it time for the Autumn Banquet?
"Your Highness, would you like me to go and see if the Queen is here?"
Liang Chongyue looked at the bookcase in Yunling's hand and shook his head slightly:
"The princess doesn't like such lively banquets. Please bypass the Imperial Garden and return directly to the palace."
Yun Ling obeyed the order and took his men around a corner, leaving the Imperial Garden.
Listening to the distant laughter, Liang Chongyue leaned back on the sedan chair, staring blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.
It was not until they reached the Imperial Garden and the sedan chair stopped that she finally reacted.
Liang Chongyue got off the sedan chair and was greeted by the young eunuch outside the imperial garden.
"Your servant pays respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess. The Empress has gone to the Autumn Banquet and will not be back until after lunch."
"Get up. There's no need to rush to tell Mother Queen about my return."
Liang Chongyue took Yun Ling towards his bedroom.
Sitting at the desk, she was not in a hurry to read the volumes of "Forty-two National Strategies". Liang Chongjing and Liang Chong'an had already died, and she had been idle for more than ten days.
In the past ten days or so, apart from studying, she hardly cared about the affairs of the court. She always felt that there was something she had forgotten.
My scumbag dad ordered soldiers to patrol the entire capital. Those old guys in the Censorate will definitely make remonstrations in the court. I believe the court must be very lively during this period.
"Your Highness."
Liang Chongyue was still thinking deeply about the affairs of the court when he heard Ping'an hurried in with sweat on his forehead.
Fortunately, she looked calm, otherwise there were many people in the palace today, and if outsiders saw her like this, they would think something had happened to her, the Princess Zhenguo.
Yun Ling has always been by His Highness's side, and even though His Highness did not show any dissatisfaction, she still felt His Highness's unhappiness.
"What are you in such a hurry for? You don't know any rules at all."
Yun Ling's words sounded like an accusation, and Ping An immediately understood what was going on. He knelt down and kowtowed three times to His Highness, then knelt down and said:
"This happened suddenly, and I lost my composure. Your Highness, please forgive me."
Ping An was also an old man who had been with him for a long time. Liang Chongyue only wanted to know what had happened.
"Get up, and tell me what you want to say."
"Your Highness, when I returned, I ran into Eunuch Li who was with His Majesty. He was on his way to deliver an imperial decree to General Lin."
"The border is in chaos, King Langwa is missing, and Da Yue wants to seize the opportunity to ally with the Northern Border to swallow up Langwa. Eunuch Qi has gone to convey the order to the Duke."
Liang Chongyue said that she seemed to have forgotten something. Shentu Yu had been raised in her house for a long time, and Liang Fang could not teach him anything now.
It's time to let people out.
And judging from the actions of the scumbag father, it is obvious that he does not want the North to get involved in this matter. If Langwa cannot be independent this time, it will have to surrender to Daxia.
Even if her original plan succeeded, it would have become someone else's wedding dress.
"Which General Lin?"
"Handong General Lin Shoucheng."
Liang Chongyue pondered for a moment and came up with an idea.
"The Lin family is full of loyal and brave people. It's a pity that General Lin's son and daughter-in-law both died at the border, leaving behind only a pair of immature grandchildren, a boy and a girl. How old are they now?"
His Highness suddenly asked a question, and Yun Ling only thought for a moment before replying:
"It was my fifth birthday that just happened in the summer. An invitation was sent to the mansion, but His Highness was busy at the time. He sent the birthday gift but did not attend the ceremony."
Liang Chongyue remembered that the Lin family was the leader of the nine branches of the Xiang family, and they were considered the most loyal subordinates of the Xiang family.
Liang Chongyue asked Yunling to grind ink. She remembered that General Lin was very old and could not bear to leave his grandchildren who were raised in the capital.
There were too many changes happening at the border too quickly, and he was reluctant to bring them to the border.
The soldiers need to get ready for this trip to the border, and they can only set off tomorrow morning at the earliest.
Liang Chongyue thought for a moment and started writing. She wanted to go big.
There are only a few lines written on the paper, but they will be able to alleviate General Lin's concerns.
Liang Chongyue finished writing one document and then wrote the next.
The border is a place of hardship. The overall strength of Dai Viet is not as good as Langwa. But the northern border cannot intervene quickly in this battle. Winter is coming in a few months. It is getting cold.
My eldest uncle loves my grandfather and would not agree to let him go to the border. Then only my eldest uncle and second uncle would go.
Liang Chongyue wrote as he thought, and after he finished, he sent Ping'an to find someone to deliver it.
There were four letters in total, and they were delivered to the Duke's Mansion and General Lin's Mansion only a quarter of an hour after the imperial edict.
For the other two, she took a gamble. Although the risk was high, if she won, she would win everything. If she lost, she also had a backup plan and could directly eliminate the dissidents.
After sending out the four letters, Liang Chongyue glanced at the bookcase beside her. She was really tired from studying recently and now she didn't want to look at any books at all.
Liang Chongyue locked the bookcase and took Yunling to Zhaixing Tower.
Ever since seeing the Zhaixing Tower in the Old Summer Palace, Liang Chongyue has never been to the Zhaixing Tower in the palace again.
But she had too many things on her mind right now, so she just wanted to find a quiet place to stay, get some fresh air, and relax.
The Zhaixing Tower is worthy of its name. When I went up there again, the feeling was completely different from when I was a child.
Liang Chongyue sat at the highest point of the Zhaixing Tower, looking up at the sky, as if he could really touch it with his hand.
