Empress Chu

No mourning, no pilgrimage, no sound, a prince like this shows that he has a different heart.

"Now that Chu Ling is dead, the King of Xiliang is even more threatening in Border County. He finally has the opportunity to show his feelings to the world."

The court official was silent, in fact, he had already guessed it before, but the country is so unstable, there can be no more turmoil, I just hope that King Zhongshan will remain silent like this.

When the country is stable, when the little prince grows up——

But how could King Zhongshan wait.

The King of Zhongshan will only wait until Chu Yu dies, Bian Jun has no time to care for himself, he has no scruples to come to the capital in an unstoppable manner——

"This is treason!" An official stood up and sternly said, "Your Majesty, please issue a statement immediately."

The court officials also talked about "crusade against the king of Zhongshan." "The king of Zhongshan has [-] soldiers in the government, and my capital also has [-] soldiers and horses, plus other Taoist government." Bianjun is to guard the territory, to prevent such rebellious officials and thieves as King Zhongshan from appearing."

"The soldiers of the king of Zhongshan spread rumors along the way that Chu Yu was dead, and that the army of the king of Xiliang had entered the country. The people were panicked and attracted tens of thousands of people to follow." Deng Yi said, looking at the officials, "these people are at the forefront of their ranks. .”

Following his words, the uproar in the court stopped.

Everyone knows what that means.

If you want to repel the soldiers and horses of King Zhongshan, you must kill these civilians first. How can the court slaughter civilians.

"The king of Zhongshan -- so despicable and shameless!" The court officials gritted their teeth.

What should I do?Could it be that King Zhongshan's soldiers and horses approached the capital step by step, approaching the imperial city?

"Teacher, I issued an edict." The voice of the little emperor sounded, "Ordering the troops of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion to divide into garrisons, and guard the capital together with the Beijing soldiers. How good is that?"

The officials hurriedly looked at the little emperor, yes, this was a tactic to delay the attack, and everyone looked at Xie Yanfang again, this must be Master Xie's idea.

Deng Yi didn't care whose idea it was, and nodded: "Since the king of Zhongshan is in the name of protecting the capital, His Majesty will let them protect the capital. To protect the capital, they must obey the orders of the imperial court. If they don't listen—"

That is a chaotic official and a traitor, everyone can get it and punish him.

At that time, if there is a fight, the people will be killed or injured, which is the crime of King Zhongshan.

"The king of Zhongshan has an unruly heart. We have been prepared for this day. The soldiers and horses from all walks of life did not help the border counties, just to prepare for this day." Xiao Yu continued: "The country is in turmoil, and many people are bound to make waves. The king of Xiliang is like this. The same is true for the king of Zhongshan, I have experienced life and death, experienced changes, I am still sitting here today, I believe that Da Xia will be able to survive the crisis again."

The child on the dragon chair said such words with a childish voice and a plain face, and the courtiers were in a state of turmoil. A child is not afraid, so why should they be afraid!They all leaned over and shouted: "The ministers and others must bow down and die, and be with His Majesty and Great Xia."

……

……

All the ministers retreated to get busy, only Deng Yi, Xie Yanfang and the little emperor were left in the court hall.

Some news can be said, some news only they know.

Although I had been prepared for this day for a long time, it was still unexpected when this day came.

"The King of Zhongshan's private soldiers are not 20." Xie Yanfang looked at Deng Yi and said, "[-]."

Deng Yi's expression was calm: "The king of Zhongshan is an unjust war, and the court soldiers and horses count as ten."

Xie Yanfang said: "Twenty soldiers and horses, it took eight hundred miles to find it, which means they have cut off the checkpoints along the road at the post station and post station. I'm afraid that Empress Chu doesn't know the news yet, so they can't provide support."

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Yu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, shook both hands.

Deng Yi said: "The imperial court does not divide reinforcements in border counties' wars, so naturally there is no need for border counties to divide troops for wars on the court's side, and the queen does not need to know."

Xie Yanfang nodded, and said: "It's good for the Taifu to make a decision, I believe the court will definitely win this battle."

Deng Yi nodded and didn't say much. He saluted the emperor, turned around and walked away quickly.

"Your Majesty." Xie Yanfang said to Xiao Yu, "You can go back and rest now."

He said and reached out.

"You did everything you were supposed to do."

Xiao Yu said: "Thank you for your hard work." But he didn't hand him his hand, but walked down by himself.

Xie Yanfang didn't say anything, she lowered her hand, and followed Xiao Yu and Eunuch Qi out of the hall.

Xie Yanfang stood still and saluted: "I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."

Xiao Yu never called him into the harem.

But this time Xiao Yu stopped and turned around: "Master Xie, the situation is urgent at this time, you can come to see me at any time, you don't need to go over the wall."

Xie Yanfang raised her head and watched Eunuch Qi come over with a command talisman in both hands.

"Thank you sir." He said, "This is the order of the imperial guards in the harem. After the empress left, I handed it over to Mr. Yanlai. After Mr. Yanlai left, this old slave has been holding it."

Xie Yanfang took it with her hand, and smiled at Xiao Yu: "Okay, I won't climb over the wall in the future."

……

……

There were people coming and going in Taifu Hall, and the officials were noisy and busy.

Deng Yi sat behind the case, and a small official next to him read the content of the document softly to him. While listening, he stretched out his hands to warm himself by the fire, looking a little leisurely.

"Teacher." A servant approached and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty has handed over the harem guards to Xie Yanfang."

The little official stopped reading, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's pretty fast."

Although the Taifu holds the jade seal and the tiger talisman in his hand and is in charge of Daxia, there is one army that is not under the Taifu's control, and that is the Longwei Army.

After the turmoil, the imperial city was cleaned up, and the emperor's guards were all in charge of the Longwei army.

As for the Longwei Army, Empress Chu held it tightly.

After Empress Chu left, she handed it over to Xie Yanlai—ordinarily, it should be given to Xie Yanfang.

Xie Yan came to lead the troops, it was more suitable for him, and it was justified.

Xie Yanlai left, and directly gave it to the little emperor——

Still didn't give it to Xie Yanfang.

Everyone in the palace had sharp eyes, and they immediately speculated about the meaning, who wouldn't believe Xie Yanfang?Empress Chu or little emperor?

There was a lot of private discussion for a while.

Of course Deng Yi knew who it was, and so did the people around him, they didn't need to discuss this, what they were discussing was when Xie Yanfang would get it.

"The king of Zhongshan is helping him," said the little official.

Deng Yi said: "Sooner or later, without King Zhongshan, Mr. Xie will soon get his wish."

Your Majesty has no one to rely on, so how can he really have a relationship with his own uncle, the face of a child, the heart of a child, the world is the most changeable.

He had blocked it back then, but if the girl insisted on going to Bianjun, then don't worry about others taking away the emperor.

Of course, whoever the emperor gets close to has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care. He has nothing to do with the little emperor when he is a tutor, and the little emperor shouldn't try to do anything to him.

"The imperial edict is ready, let's send it out immediately." Deng Yi said, "Choose an edict official and make a big splash."

The officials responded yes.

……

……

How busy the officials were, Xiao Yu no longer cared. He knew that he had done what he could do, and when he returned to the harem, he obediently went to rest.

He didn't sleep last night, Xie Yanfang told him about the movements of King Zhongshan's soldiers and horses, and taught him how to say it and how to draw up the imperial edict.

Although it was daytime, he had to light a lamp if he wanted to sleep.

Ever since Empress Chu left, Xiao Yu had to light the lamp when he was sleeping alone.

Eunuch Qi washed Xiao Yu, covered him with a quilt, and said softly: "Your Majesty, rest at ease, everything will be fine. There is a lady in the border county, and Xiliang can't fight. The Taifu and Master Xie are in the capital, and the King of Zhongshan is also here." Can't make it."

Xiao Yu nodded: "I know, I'm not afraid, they were going to kill me before, not once, not twice."

Thinking of that night, Eunuch Qi nodded as if in a dream, "Your Majesty is blessed by the heavens, and evil is hard to invade."

Xiao Yu smiled, but the smile was very short, and he put it away in an instant.

"Also, Lord Xie is guarding in the side hall." Eunuch Qi said in a low voice, "The king of Zhongshan has been planning for a long time, and not everyone in the palace is reliable. Lord Xie will always be by His Majesty's side."

Xiao Yu groaned, but didn't speak.

Eunuch Qi said again: "It is a very good decision for Your Majesty to give the talisman to Mr. Xie."

He knew that Xiao Yu was cold towards Xie Yanfang because he blamed Xie Yanfang for not being able to save his parents and himself.

He didn't think it was wrong, the emperor, of course he could show his temper to anyone, so what about the emperor's relatives, they were all courtiers.

But the emperor also had to judge the situation and judge people's hearts.

Fortunately, the little emperor took the initiative to do it without his persuasion.

Xiao Yu said: "He is my uncle, he cannot leave me, and he will protect me wholeheartedly."

Duke Qi said: "Your Majesty is wise."

After he finished speaking, he put down the tent, and just as he was about to retreat, Xiao Yu in the tent said, "Turn out all the lights."

Eunuch Qi was surprised and happy, and in response, he called the eunuchs to turn off the lights and led them out.

Although it was daytime, Xiao Yu opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent when the tent was lowered and his vision was dim.

It doesn't matter if the command talisman is given or not, the Long Wei army can't stop it, so it's better to be a good person.

He reached out and took out the bamboo tube from under the pillow, holding it tightly in his arms.

……

……

Eunuch Qi came to the side hall and saw Xie Yanfang sitting and writing.

"My lord, take a break too." He said softly.

Xie Yanfang smiled at him: "Father-in-law go rest on his own, I'll just finish writing this letter."

Eunuch Qi pointed to the emperor's bedroom and said, "When you come, the lights are all turned off."

Xie Yanfang looked over there and sighed softly, "Ah Yu is suffering."

Eunuch Qi also sighed: "As long as Your Majesty can grow up safely, this hardship will not be in vain."

"Your Majesty will grow up safely." Xie Yanfang said.

Eunuch Qi didn't say any more, as a servant, he didn't get close to anyone other than the emperor, and he resigned after telling him not to be too tired.

Xie Yanfang didn't stay with him, and didn't take a break. She didn't stop writing until she finished several letters. Du Qi came in from the outside and said, "How long can this delay?"

Xie Yanfang smiled: "It can't be delayed for a day, and Prince Xiao is here, so there is no need for face."

He asked His Majesty to do this not for delay, but to get close to His Majesty, to add fuel to the fire, and to make the upcoming battle known to the world.

The sound of gongs and drums and the fluttering of flags broke the tranquility of the capital, and the people were panic-stricken.

"What happened?"

"There's no need to panic." The officials of the government and the guards patrolling the city were all explaining to the people, "In order to protect the safety of the people in the capital, Your Majesty ordered the King of Zhongshan to come and add [-] troops. If you go in, you can support the border counties, and if you go back, you can defend the capital."

So that's the case, the people are relieved, it's okay, even though Chu Ling is gone, the court still has a way to deal with it, just increase the number of troops, and strengthen the defense of the capital.

In order to let more people know the good news, the officials traveled fifteen days from the original ten-day journey before meeting the soldiers and horses of the prince of Zhongshan.

In addition to the people who had gathered near King Zhongshan's soldiers and horses, more people followed after hearing the news, witnessing the acceptance of the imperial edict by the son of King Zhongshan in the wilderness.

Countless bonfires were lit in the wilderness that night, and the officials brought wine and meat from the emperor to reward the soldiers. The atmosphere was very lively.

The tent of Prince Zhongshan was very quiet.

Xiao Xun looked at the imperial decree in front of him, raised his hand and threw it into the brazier.

"I hate imperial edicts the most," he said.

Chapter 79 Unimpeded

The holy decree was burned in the brazier, and black smoke rose up, making the faces in the room like the bottom of a pot.

Xiao Xun was not the only one in the quiet tent, there were three court officials standing opposite him.

They knew that Xiao Xun came with bad intentions, but they still didn't expect that Xiao Xun would burn the imperial decree in person.

It didn't save any face, it was torn directly.
