Although the ministers asked the emperor to send troops to pacify and suppress southern Xinjiang.

But everyone knows that the terrain in southern Xinjiang is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are many poisonous insects and snakes in the mountains and forests of southern Xinjiang. The army may not even have entered the territory of southern Xinjiang, but it may be wiped out in the mountains and forests.

Therefore, southern Xinjiang is not easy to conquer, and we can only adopt a conciliatory policy.

Precisely because that place is so secluded, the remnants of the previous dynasty colluded with Southern Xinjiang and hid there.

If we send troops to attack southern Xinjiang, if the soldiers are wiped out in the mountains and forests, it will also be a loss for the Great Yan Kingdom.

Moreover, the Northern Rong Kingdom is watching covetously.

There is a plague in Jiangzhou now. If the plague continues to spread, the consequences are unimaginable.

The hope of their Yan State, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is still in Jiangzhou.

Therefore, the people in the court were divided into two factions. One group advocated solving the plague problem first and preventing any chaos at the border.

Things in southern Xinjiang need to be considered carefully.

Some suggested starting the fight right away.

When several princes learned that there was a plague in Jiangzhou, where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was providing disaster relief, they appeared to be worried about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but they were actually very happy in their hearts.

They hoped that something would happen to the crown prince so that they would have the opportunity to become the crown prince themselves and thus sit on the throne of the emperor.

Once they became emperors, they could do whatever they wanted and kill anyone they wanted.

At this time, the Zhao family, including Lord Zhao, began to become active again and started to do various things for the eldest prince.

The fourth prince is also plotting.

Several other princes seemed to be keeping a low profile and not competing with each other, but they were also secretly trying to win over ministers and gain influence.

Although most of the spies in the capital were caught in one fell swoop, the capital was also in turmoil due to the fighting between the princes.

Jiang Zhinian learned that there was a plague in Jiangzhou, and he couldn't sleep at night because he was worried about Ye Jiyou.

I was afraid that Ye Jiyou might be in danger.

Although when Yan Jiyou went to Jiangzhou, she prepared a lot of medicine for Yan Jiyou, and also prepared many prescriptions for treating the plague.

But she was still worried.

When Jiang Zhinian asked Leng Yuebai about the news, he looked extremely nervous.

"How is His Royal Highness, is he doing now?"

Leng Yuebai looked at Jiang Zhinian's dark circles and knew that Jiang Zhinian had not slept well these days.

"I received a letter from my cousin. He said that the situation in Jiangzhou is not optimistic. Many people have been infected with the plague. Countless people have died or been injured in just a few days."

"The disaster was originally under control, and the victims were properly resettled. My cousin had been on guard against people deliberately causing trouble or creating chaos, and also against the plague. But this plague seemed to have broken out all of a sudden, and it was very tricky."

"The doctors my cousin brought with him were unable to find a complete cure for the plague."

"My cousin also suspected that the plague was deliberately arranged by the spies in the city, but they were too cunning. After my cousin went there, he had already caught many spies, but he didn't expect that it was still difficult to prevent."

"My cousin said that if this continues, he will join forces with the garrison to blockade the entire Jiangzhou City to prevent the plague from spreading outward."

Hearing these words, Jiang Zhinian's heart began to lift.

"Then what should he do?"

"What if the entire Jiangzhou City is sealed off!"

Leng Yuebai said solemnly: "My cousin will definitely stay in the city to appease the people."

"With him here, everyone will not be afraid or panic, and will feel that the court will not abandon them. If my cousin leaves, Jiangzhou Prefecture will definitely be in chaos."

Jiang Zhinian said anxiously: "I suspect this is a trap set by someone to deliberately trap him in Jiangzhou Prefecture and kill him."

"No, he can't be in danger."

Jiang Zhinian went crazy at the thought that something might happen to Yan Jiyou.

At this moment, she had no sense of justice in her heart at all. The only thing she thought about was Yan Jiyou's safety.

Leng Yuebai was very anxious and worried, and wished he could go to Jiangzhou immediately.

But he couldn't, because he had to help his cousin stabilize the situation in the capital.

Although he was anxious, he still tried to stay calm and comfort Jiang Zhinian, saying, "The emperor has organized a group of doctors from the Imperial Hospital to go to Jiangzhou to solve the plague."

"Imperial Physician Miao requested to lead the team."

"You know Imperial Doctor Miao's medical skills best. He should be fine."

Jiang Zhinian thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to Jiangzhou!"

Leng Yuebai was shocked. "How can that be possible? My cousin told us to take good care of you and not let you be in any danger. It's very dangerous for you to go to Jiangzhou at this time. I can't even explain to my cousin."

"Besides, the medical officers have already left early in the morning. It's too late for you to make it there now."

It's been a whole day and it's already evening.

The medical team must have gone a long way.

Jiang Zhinian looked determined. She would ask the secret guards to form a caravan to take her to Jiangzhou, just in time to bring a lot of medicinal herbs with her.

"Actually, we are here in Beijing. If my cousin has any problems or needs anything, we can help him."

"If we go there rashly, we may not be able to help."

Leng Yuebai was racking his brains to find a way to persuade Jiang Zhinian.

If anything happened to Jiang Zhinian, he wouldn't be able to explain to his cousin.

My cousin is not interested in women and is a cold and aloof person. Now that he finally has someone he cares about, you have to help keep her.

Jiang Zhinian looked at Leng Yuebai's expression and realized that he had scared him by telling him to go to Jiangzhou.

She had better make preparations in advance and then let the secret guards take her to Jiangzhou.

But just when Jiang Zhinian was preparing all this, he suddenly learned that the Beirong had launched a surprise attack at Suishan Pass.

Beirong used an army of 200,000 this time, while General Wu only led 100,000 Wu family soldiers to guard the border.

This is a war of great disparity in strength.

However, General Wu and General Wu managed to resist the attack.

If this continues, the border will still be in danger.

The court must send reinforcements.

In Leng Yuebai's words, "Fortunately, my cousin asked the border to change its defense structure in time, so that Beirong didn't succeed."

"Otherwise, according to what Shen Lian said, she would have sent the border defense map to southern Xinjiang."

Speaking of this, Leng Yuebai felt a little scared.

"The emperor ordered additional defenses to be deployed at all border locations and sent generals to provide support."

"That's why we need more food and fodder."

"It's a pity that there wasn't enough food and fodder for disaster relief."

Jiang Zhinian learned that the war required food and fodder, and that the eldest princess's son, Duke Anguo, had personally come out to provide support.

Jiang Zhinian knew that the Grand Princess treated her very well.

This time she must not let anything happen to An Yunlan.

So Jiang Zhinian asked her grandmother to come to the palace in person and said that she donated one million dan of grain to support the war at the border.

When the emperor heard the news, he was very pleased and praised Jiang Zhinian in the court.

The emperor even summoned Jiang Zhinian in person and wanted to confer the title of county lady on her.

At this time, someone came out to stop them, and they became even more suspicious of Jiang Zhinian's purpose.

Jiang Zhinian said in the court without any arrogance or servility: "Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country."

"When I learned about the war on the border and the shortage of food and fodder, I just wanted to do my part and not ask for a reward from the emperor."
