Quickly wear "I am the empress"

Chapter 539 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (28)

After hearing Zhiyu's words, Zhu Youjian was full of questions.

"Death to survive?"

"Who to kill? You?"

Zhiyu held his forehead with his hand helplessly, "I am the king of a country, is it worth it to take such a big risk?"

Zhu Youjian blinked in confusion. He really couldn't figure out who the emperor wanted to kill. It couldn't be him, right?

Before he could figure it out, Zhiyu's unhurried voice sounded again.

"When Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty was carrying out reforms, he tricked all the ministers in the capital into going to Luoyang."

"Now I also want to imitate Emperor Xiaowen and deceive the officials of my Ming Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youjian looked at Zhiyu in surprise: "Your Majesty, don't you want to go to the battlefield?"

Zhiyu nodded, "I am not a tyrant, how could I lead the whole court to fight in person at this time?"

Zhu Youjian pondered for a moment, and guessed in disbelief: "Your Majesty, you want to..."

Zhiyu raised her hand and looked at Zhu Youjian with a smile: "Fifth brother, just know it, there is no need to say it."

"While I am away on a campaign, the task of supervising the country will be handed over to you."

Zhu Youxiao pointed at himself and said, "I am the regent?"

"Your Majesty, this is not right."

Zhiyu shook her head: "There's nothing wrong with that."

"Fifth brother, I believe in your ability. You are the most suitable person to be the regent."

Zhu Youjian thought for a moment, sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "That's fine."

"I just hope I won't hold you back."

After the news that Zhiyu was going to lead the army in person spread, many of the people she had named to be taken to the battlefield pretended to be sick at home.

On the day she left with all the civil and military officials and the army, only half of the more than 400 officials who were named to be taken to the battlefield followed the team.

Zhiyu looked at the scene in front of him without any surprise.

After all, as long as those ministers who claimed to be sick submitted a memorial to her, she would be very kind and approve that they don't need to go with her.

What surprised her was that even though she was so easy to talk to, half of the people still chose to go to the battlefield with her.

It seems that there are many people in her court who have backbone and patriotism.

This discovery made Zhiyu feel much better. She looked at Zhu Youjian who came to see her off, raised her eyebrows and smiled:

"Brother, after I leave, the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you."

"You must protect the Ming Dynasty for me, otherwise we brothers and sisters will become sinners for all eternity."

Hearing Zhiyu's words, the ministers standing behind her couldn't help but twitch their lips. It turned out that Her Majesty also knew that if the Ming Dynasty perished, they, the brothers and sisters, would be criminals, so she still wanted to lead the army in person, which was unrealistic.

Not only did he lead the army in person, he also brought so many people with him...

Isn’t she afraid that so many people will be wiped out by the enemy on the battlefield, causing the Ming Dynasty to be doomed?

Thinking of this, the minister sighed and shook his head. Now he only hoped that because of Nurhaci's death, the Later Jin would relax its defenses against the Ming Dynasty so that they could win the battle and return triumphantly.

Zhu Youjian bowed to Zhiyu and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will protect the capital."

Hearing this, Zhiyu patted Zhu Youjian on the shoulder and said, "I feel relieved that my brother is here."

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other quickly, their eyes full of calculation.

After seeing Zhiyu off, Zhu Youjian returned home and saw an unexpected person appear in his residence.

"Greetings, my brother."

Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and said calmly, "Fifth brother, there is no need to be polite."

"Huiti is gone?"

Zhu Youjian nodded: "I just came back from seeing your majesty off."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youjian thoughtfully, until Zhu Youjian felt uncomfortable, he looked away and asked, "Did you two discuss Huiti's going to the battlefield together?"

Zhu Youjian shook his head calmly, "Brother, this is His Majesty's own decision."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's brows slightly frowned, "Then she is too hasty."

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhu Youjian shook his head in a somewhat amusing manner. The news that his eighth sister was going to lead the army in person had been circulating in the capital for so long. Why did his brother look like he was hearing about this for the first time?

Could it be that my royal brother has really become an emperor who is oblivious to what is happening outside these days?

Seeing Zhu Youjian's expression, Zhu Youxiao had no idea what he was thinking.

"I was concentrating on wood carving these days and basically didn't go out."

I only found out about this after your sister-in-law went to the mansion.

"Everything is fine now, I don't know why Eighth Sister wants to lead the army in person."

"It would be good if she was lucky enough to come back alive from the battlefield, but if she was like Yingzong..."
