It wasn't until yesterday that the urgent report came that he dared to start preparations openly.

"Is there any movement over Rong Zhuo?" Yu Jingdu asked Li Feng.

"Young Master Rong has never been out of the Rong Mansion." Li Feng said, "But Duan Zheng found a middleman early in the morning and bought 30 of the people we arranged to work in the caravan."

"Don't move the rest of us, keep them all." Yu Jingdu said: "Rong Zhuo is careful, he bought thirty for the first time, and he will definitely buy it again in the future."

"Yes." Li Feng said: "Just now, Jiang Shaoqing asked someone to pass on a message, saying that there was some change in the restaurant."

Yu Jingdu was stunned, he couldn't help frowning, and asked him, "What's the change?"

Speaking of the problem of the teahouse, let's start from a long time ago that Rong Zhuo took Yu Jingdu to the teahouse to find someone to help him build momentum. From then on, Yu Jingdu realized the importance of public opinion, so he buried nails in all the teahouses and restaurants in the capital to prevent someone from using Rong Zhuo's method to create public opinion that was unfavorable to him.

"Someone asked Mr. Huaben and asked them to make up a jingle, to the effect that the former prince's life should not end. If you go to the border this time, you may be cheaper for the former prince." Li Feng said: "It seems that the former prince is still talking about the former prince. The prince is destined to return."

Yu Jingdu couldn't help laughing, "Have you found out who spread it?"

"I can't find it." Li Feng said: "Said that the other party found a beggar on the street, gave him money, and asked the beggar to find it, Mr. Ben."

"It's okay, let Jiang Jiyan stare at the point, don't panic." Yu Jingdu said.

"Has Your Highness guessed who is behind the scenes?"

"Doing a ghost?" Yu Jingdu said: "This king thinks that his ghost is just right."

When Li Feng heard the words and thought about it, he also understood what was coming. At first glance, this rumor was to praise the former crown prince, but when it spread to the emperor's ears, was afraid it would change.

Given the emperor's prejudice and disgust towards the former prince, if he heard this rumor, not only would he not feel any sympathy for the former prince, but he would be even more disgusted. And this kind of negative emotion towards the former prince, projected on Yu Jingdu, would turn into an emotion similar to guilt.

If the emperor was a little more emotional, he might be able to directly set up the reserve in a fit of rage.

Anyway, Yu Jingdu was the one he had chosen. If it wasn't for the sudden death of the queen, the imperial edict would have been issued long ago.

"The whole capital likes to make a fuss about Mr. Huaben. I haven't seen the second one." Yu Jingdu laughed.

Li Feng was startled, as if he had guessed the clue, but Yu Jingdu waved his hand and didn't intend to explain more to him.

After all, they have too many things to work on right now, and there is simply not enough time.

The war is going to change rapidly, and one more day of delay brings more risks.

At the same time, the emperor was devastated.

Whether intellectually or emotionally, he did not want Yu Jingdu to fight.

First, Yu Jingdu was the next prince he had chosen, and secondly, the other party was his favorite son. Once Yu Jingdu leaves the capital, he will be out of his control. If the other party encounters danger at the border, or even hurts his life like last time, what will he do?

You can't really take the former prince out of the imperial tomb, as the rumors say, right?

As for his other sons, even if they are not useless, they are really far worse than Yu Jingdu.

His country can only be handed over to his proudest son!

But right now he has no choice.

In the urgent report from the border, although General Chang did not mention letting Yu Jingdu go back, the emperor knew that what Yu Jingdu said was right.

In this battle, Jingdu may not go, but the frontier army will definitely pay a great price. And none of them dared to imagine how big this price would be, and would it be beyond what they could bear?

On this day, the emperor recruited several groups of courtiers to discuss the matter in the imperial study.

Although most of the courtiers did not support Yu Jingdu going to the border in person, no one could come up with an effective solution.

Later, the emperor even brought Ji Xiunian here.

Ji Xiunian was also at a loss. He didn't understand how a teacher who taught him could be declared to the palace at this juncture.

It was not until he met the Emperor that he knew that His Majesty was in a state of emergency.

"Mr. Ji hasn't entered the court, and I think the way that Baiguan sees things will be different." The emperor said: "I want to ask you, what do you think about the invitation of the King of Yan?"

Ji Xiunian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty did not refuse His Royal Highness the King of Yan at the time. I think you are ready to agree?"

The emperor was taken aback, apparently before this, even he himself did not realize this problem.

If he had made up his mind not to let Yu Jingdu go, he would have refused outright when Jingdu asked Ying, but he didn't. That meant that in his subconscious mind, the peace of the border was extremely important, even more important than his concern for Jingdu's safety.

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly felt some guilt towards Jing Du.

"The third child has been suffering at the border for so many years, and now I want to send him..." The emperor sighed, looking very depressed.

Ji Xiunian said, "If Your Majesty loves King Yan, you might as well compensate him so that King Yan can leave the capital with peace of mind."

"What does Mr. Ji mean?"

"The biggest reason for the courtiers' opposition to King Yan's battle is that the prince is hanging in the air, and people are unstable. There are even rumors in the capital that the prince of Yan did not have the blessing of being the prince, and that the former prince was destined to return. This is really nonsense. "Ji Xiunian said, "Why don't your majesty first establish a crown prince, and then let King Yan fight? This can not only compensate His Royal Highness, but also quell rumors in the capital, and boost morale at the border, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

"But..." The emperor opened his mouth, but didn't say what he was thinking.

It wasn't that he never thought about establishing the reserve first. The delay was because of the empress' funeral. Now that the war is imminent, he doesn't have to worry so much about establishing the reserve. But he was a little worried, if Yu Jingdu had an emergency at the border...

Ji Xiunian seemed to see his concerns and said, "Your Majesty, regardless of whether His Royal Highness Yan Wang wins or loses, the position of the Crown Prince will not have any impact on the country of our dynasty. Your Majesty is in his prime, even if the Yan King There is an emergency, in the future..."
