"That's it. Now tell me what's up? I'm sure you won't come to see me here for no reason. Tell me quickly. I still have a lot of work to do." Emperor Pei An Long was a little impatient.
"Ehem. Well then I won't waste any more time." Lu Jing Yu cleared her throat to begin speaking.
"It's about the security of the palace as long as His Majesty goes to the border. I mean, what if someone were to take advantage of this chaos and attack the capital? If the enemy managed to enter the capital, wouldn't this Shao Empire be crippled?" Lu Jing Yu explained the reason first. Emperor Pei An Long was not a fool who would not understand what he meant.
"So what do you think?"
"This son-in-law thinks if we need to improve security. But it's not enough just like that, we also have to prepare for the worst." Lu Jing Yu spoke seriously.
Emperor Pei An Long listened to Lu Jing Yu's words and furrowed his brows. What's the worst possibility?
"Worst possibility? What's the worst possible thing that could happen? At this time the war was taking place outside the borders. The big army has departed for the border. So there aren't many troops left in the palace."
"Well.... The worst possibility is that the challenge of war outside the borders is just bait. They did not actually target the border but instead directly attacked the capital. Still, this assistant received news from the envoy sent by His Majesty saying that the enemy troops at the border were only troops with low qualifications even though their numbers were indeed very large." Regarding the news, Lu Jing Yu lied that he had heard of her, the truth was that he knew about it in the novel he was reading. But he couldn't possibly say it to Emperor Pei An Long right? So he could only say that he knew this from Pei Zhang Xi's envoy.
"What's? Then why don't we quickly order people to call back the troops to the capital." Emperor Pei An Long was so shocked that he didn't realize many strange things if he could think of them properly. If indeed Pei Zhang Xi sent troops that he had known if the troops on the border were only weak enemy troops, he said, why can't Pei Zhang Xi who is an expert in strategy and war conclude that it was once just a decoy and come back? However because Emperor Pei An Long was so shocked by what Lu Jing Yu said, he really did not see the awkwardness.
"I'm afraid it's too late." Lu Jing Yu replied firmly. Hearing Lu Jing Yu's words, Emperor Pei An Long looked surprised once again. "Well, their goal was indeed to send out a large number of troops outside the capital seeing from the large number of troops they brought in to make the forces protecting the capital weak and easy to attack. Looking at the situation at hand, it was likely that the enemy forces had been hiding within the western forest waiting for the right time to attack. So according to the calculations of this son-in-law, the, it was likely that they would attack no later than tomorrow morning because by then the troops that were departing for the border were already very far away and although they soon returned after finding out if the capital had been attacked, the capital had been attacked, it's still gonna be late." Lu Jing Yu. Emperor Pei An Long listened to what Lu Jing Yu said carefully.
"Then what should we do?" Emperor Pei An Long asked worriedly.
"That's why this son-in-law came to see the emperor's father. This daughter-in-law had actually had plans to deal with the enemies. Although it might not be able to defeat the enemies, but it could at least hold them off until reinforcements came." Lu Jing Yu then explained her plan to Emperor Pei An Long and was immediately approved. He immediately summoned Eunuch Song to do everything that Lu Jing Yu had said before, he also called General Hao who was in charge of maintaining security in the palace.
The news of the capital being attacked spread very quickly. It was indeed Lu Jing Yu's goal that ordered people to spread it. After all the army of the hiding Zhao Empire had come out of their hiding right after all the preparations had been made.
And as Lu Jing Yu had predicted earlier, the state of the capital was chaotic after the news spread quickly like wildfire. The ministers came one by one to meet Emperor Pei An Long for guidance. In response to this, Lu Jing Yu who heard the report from the guard Lin sipped her hot tea casually.
"Then what about the reaction of Father Emperor?" Lu Jing Yu asked by furrowing her brows.
"Hamba didn't expect that His Imperial Majesty was such a great player." Guards Lin praised in a strange tone.
"He-he-he-he. No-no. It would even be strange if someone like the Emperor could not do such a thing." Lu Jing Yu chuckled as she shook her head.
"...." - ".Guards Lin did not know what to say. After all he had no right to judge how it was.
Returning from the palace, the faces of all the ministers became gloomy. They all came to find a solution. Hoping that Emperor Pei An Long would provide a satisfactory solution to them. But who would have thought if even Emperor Pei An Long did not have the solution they needed and even made everyone have to work hard to deploy their residence guards to help hold the enemy forces in capital gate. If they send their house guards there, then what is the security in their own residence?
"Why think twice about it? The palace is the core of an Empire. Since our ancestors, we have been under the auspices of the Shao Empire, if at this time the Shao Empire is in need of our help, we run away without returning the favor like cowards?" An old minister said angrily. He looked at the surrounding ministers with disdain.
"Mr Bei, it's not that we don't know the return of the favor, but we just think logically before making a decision. Security is no small issue. If we make a wrong decision, the safety of the entire clan will be in danger." One of the ministers spoke flatly.
After the departure of Minister Bei, everyone looked at each other. After being in the same environment for so long, they subconsciously develop a self-understanding of each other. So that they will understand each other only with a nod or a light head....
Nevertheless, these ministers were not the only ones who felt uneasy. These concubines are in worse condition. They do not understand what the government is like. They also do not understand how a war can happen. These concubines came from aristocratic families who had only learned about women's skills since they were young. Their main skill is how to make way for themselves and their families with their looks and abilities. So the moment they landed if a group of troops were to come to the capital to attack, they couldn't help but feel panicked.
Previously, when the rebels led by Pei Zhong Min attacked the palace, they had sensed for themselves what it was like to be in danger of attack. If they had to experience it again this time, they were afraid they would not be able to endure it anymore.
This group of concubines was just a bunch of spoiled noblewomen and had never experienced any suffering. And they are easy targets for these enemies. So they were sure that after they had successfully conquered the capital, they would definitely attack the concubine's palace first. Thinking of this, one by one these concubines came up with the same thought.
