"Come here, drag this frenzied and lowly servant girl down to Ling Chi... and throw her out of the palace after being killed with a stick!" The Empress Dowager Zhaohua ordered in a deep voice.

The Yulin army and servants from outside Yile Palace rushed in, two warriors dragged Duan Yuzi down, the palace maids and servants were busy cleaning up the mess on the ground, the lady who took care of Luan Jiayue was going to take Luan Jiayue away from Ming Youchen, but The little princess lay tightly in Xiangguo's arms, and they had no choice but to retreat temporarily under Ming Youchen's gesture.

The imperial doctor who had already been summoned stepped forward to bandage the eldest princess's wound, Luan Jiayue cried and shook her head and refused, and finally, under Ming Youchen's soft voice, reluctantly cooperated with the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment.Luan Tiance walked to her daughter, Luan Jiayue recognized her father, immediately grabbed the palm that the emperor extended to her with her little hand, held it tightly and leaned into Ming Youchen's arms, and then slowly calmed down.

Luan Lingxuan knew that the Empress Dowager did not execute Ling Chi, the criminal who killed the emperor's concubines and heirs, for her sake. After all, Duan Yuzi was her wet nurse's maid.Princess An Ning felt ashamed and grateful, and felt even more guilty. She looked at Luan Tiance in a daze, and suddenly broke free from the Empress Dowager's arm, ran to the emperor and knelt down on the ground.

"Third brother, I'm sorry for you."

"Duan Yuzi's evil has nothing to do with you." Luan Tiance handed the woman over to Ming Youchen's care, stretched out his hand to help Luan Lingxuan, and said with a forced smile: "You see, my eldest princess knows who is reliable at a young age. There are many people, but she only gets close to Youchen. Hehe, Fourth Sister, do you think she is smart?"

"Third brother, I know that you feel sorry and uncomfortable for the prince and concubine who died in vain before. You don't have to force me to smile. Duan Yuzi didn't do evil for me, but I can't shirk the blame. The matter has come to this point, I have nothing to say To defend myself, I just want to ask you one last question as a crime."

When Luan Lingxuan said this, her voice trembled and her face was completely pale, but she gritted her teeth and continued speaking firmly after the imperial doctor withdrew.

"If I have no blood relationship with Third Brother, will you keep your eyes on me?"

Princess Anning's words were so small that only Luan Tiance, Ming Youchen and Luan Jiayue who were beside her heard it.The little princess didn't understand the meaning of Luan Lingxuan's words, her soft little head was neatly pillowed in Ming Youchen's arms, unaware of her aunt's insistence on going all out and the despair in her voice.

"I already have someone in my heart who will be with me for the rest of my life. No matter how good others are, they can't fall into my eyes." Luan Tiance lowered his head and thought for a while, feeling Luan Lingxuan's hand trembling slightly in his palm, he felt pity in his heart, and then replied solemnly: " I will always treat Ling Xuan as the imperial sister, no matter what happens, I will not allow others to bully me, and I will protect you for the rest of my life."

Luan Lingxuan was helped up by Luan Tiance, but her body still couldn't stop shaking slightly. Seeing that there was no hatred or blame in the emperor's eyes, she felt a little relieved, but the despair and sadness in her eyes became stronger.

"I understand. No wonder the third brother hasn't kissed the concubines in the palace recently. It turns out that he has a crush on her for a long time. I don't know how to make you fall in love with such a perfect and wonderful woman? Well, thank you third brother for telling the truth, Lingxuan has no regrets in this life. "

Luan Lingxuan lowered her head and sighed softly, before Luan Tiance could react to her words, she pulled out the gold hairpin on her head suddenly,

Ming Youchen, who was holding Luan Jiayue, at the same time as Luan Lingxuan's words fell, quickly released a hand to hit Princess An Ning's elbow, knocking off the gold hairpin she had pulled out in time.

Luan Tiance heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Chang, and stepped forward to hand over the trembling and out-of-control imperial sister to the Queen Mother.

"Princess, it's unwise for you to take other people's sins onto yourself and even want to kill yourself!" Ming Youchen persuaded seriously: "If you commit suicide, how will we deal with the aftermath of my marriage with Hu Yi?"

Luan Lingxuan was stunned, and the Queen Mother took the opportunity to hug her into her arms.

"Silly boy, how can you be so confused! If you go, won't it make the emperor even more sad? We won't blame you!"

"Duan Yuzi didn't kill the third brother's heir for me, but I can't absolve myself of the blame."

"Princess An Ning, I understand how you feel shameless facing the emperor. You think you are sorry for those little princes who died young." Ming Youchen patted Luan Jiayue's back lightly, and said in a deep voice: "If the princess loses the Sheng Zhi, if you insist on taking this crime, it's better to use the status you believe to be the crime to solve the real problem for the emperor."

"You Chen, don't provoke Ling Xuan any more at this time." Luan Tiance whispered in Ming Youchen's ear.

"Hu Yi has disturbed our border for many years and killed countless people. If the princess married Hu Yi, it would be a great achievement to persuade the big lords and other countries to live in harmony with our dynasty. The people you protect by yourself are thousands of the emperor's subjects , enough to make up for the princes lost by the emperor." Ming Youchen advised earnestly.

The Empress Dowager shook Luan Lingxuan's hand and nodded slightly, strongly agreeing with these words from the bottom of her heart.

Luan Tiance heard that Ming Youchen's words made sense and stopped speaking. Seeing Luan Lingxuan's dazed eyes and pale face, he still habitually felt pity for the royal girl in his heart, and was about to step forward to say a few more words of comfort, but suddenly Luan Lingxuan Breaking free from the Queen Mother's hand, he knelt down to him again, and spoke with a dignified expression.

"Sister Chen is willing to go to make a marriage proposal and resolve the worries of being disturbed at the border for my brother. I only hope that I will use all my strength to make Tiandu and Hu Yi a brotherhood forever."

Hearing Luan Lingxuan who always referred to him as "you" and "I" suddenly speak like this, the intimacy in her words and deeds diminished, showing the alienation and respect between the monarch and his subjects. When the words fell, two lines of tears fell silently in her eyes, Luan Tiance very uncomfortable.But after Duan Yuzi's incident, he felt that Luan Lingxuan became calm and became conscious of being a royal family, and he also felt comforted in his heart.

Helping Luan Lingxuan up, Luan Tiance said some comforting words, and asked the Queen Mother and Princess Anning to go back and rest.The Empress Dowager Zhaohua wanted to take Luan Jiayue to Xiangshou Palace to take care of her personally, but the little princess lying in Ming Youchen's arms saw that her grandmother was about to take her away, so she stretched out her arms and hugged Ming Youchen's neck tightly. The Queen Mother could only sigh helplessly , and Luan Lingxuan left first.

Luan Tiance ordered the maid to clean up quickly, and advised Ming Youchen to sleep for a while, so as not to be exhausted.

"It's about to go to the morning court at this time, the emperor and the humble minister might as well rest on the couch for a while."

Ming Youchen shook his head, turned around and looked at the Commander-in-Chief who was standing behind him without daring to make a sound, and said calmly: "Since Duan Yuzi knew that the parents and children she sent out of the palace died, it can be seen that the remnants of the previous dynasty are still connected with the palace. The court usually By raising you, is it to let you let those thieves have a free run?"

Although Ming Youchen said this lightly, the commanders were so frightened that their faces turned pale, they knelt down to plead guilty, and then retreated to thoroughly investigate the Forbidden Palace.

"Duan Yuzi has hidden her identity for many years. It may be very difficult for the guards in the palace to find out the private contact with her. However, the Ruan royal family should be extinct, and the rest of the lurking in the palace will definitely find opportunities to escape from the palace. We should be more vigilant in the future. Something." Ming Youchen turned to Luan Tiance and said.

The emperor nodded, he helped Ming Youchen carefully put Luan Jiayue on the couch, and the monarch and his subjects lay on the inside and outside of the couch, letting the little princess sleep between them.This kind of environmental protection made Luan Jiayue feel relieved, and finally tired, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Gently stroking Luan Jiayue's soft hair, Ming Youchen saw that the child was still pinching the corner of his clothes in a deep sleep, and his eyes became softer.Looking up, he saw Luan Tiance staring at him deeply, the two looked at each other without warning, as if they didn't know how to open their mouths to confide in each other, they couldn't help being startled.

"I remember coaxing Ling Xuan to sleep like this when I was a child." After a long time, Luan Tiance looked away and broke the silence, his voice was full of nostalgia and bitterness.

"The emperor also enjoyed it at that time." Ming Youchen said softly.

"Don't look at that girl who is very impulsive now. When she was a child, she was very shy and only pestered me to play with her. The fifth brother likes to hide her things very much, and then watches her anxiously; the second brother is weak and unable to contribute. Every time she came to me crying for help, and I finally helped her find the lost property. But after Lingxuan was eight years old, I never saw her cry again. Instead, I often put on the posture of the emperor's sister to teach the mischievous Jun Hong."

Luan Tiance was in a better mood when he said this, but just as he had a smile on his face, his eyes dimmed again, "But Ling Xuan, who was so strong just now, cried. She knew that after the marriage, she would have a relationship with me, her mother, and life. Farewell to the day she raised her."

"The princess's tears represent that she has grown up. Although the flesh and blood are separated, the princess is here for the people of the two countries. I believe that since the great lord of Hu Yi wants to reconcile with us, he will treat the princess well. Saying that he will never accept a side concubine in this life is enough to show his sincerity." Ming Youchen persuaded softly.

"It's totally wrong for that girl to have other thoughts about me, but how can she think that I will look down on or hate her because of this?"

Luan Tiance shook his head and murmured, he couldn't help holding Ming Youchen's hand.

"Now I understand what it's like to think about one person all day long, and hope to be with him forever and forever. How can I blame that silly girl Lingxuan for her sincerity?"

Ming Youchen didn't speak, he felt the heat from Luan Tiance's palm enveloping his hand, and it seemed to spread into his heart, scalding his chest.The gloomy eyes staring at the emperor silently lowered slowly, avoiding the other party's blatant confession.

"Junhong is gone, the second brother is gone, and now Lingxuan is about to go to another country... When she marries, I will personally see her off and escort her out of the capital before returning. The people close to me are gradually leaving , there are only a few left, could it be that I can't escape the fate of being a "lonely man" as an emperor since ancient times?"

When Luan Tiance lowered his head and sighed deeply, he suddenly raised his head and looked vigorously at Ming Youchen, his face full of enthusiasm and anticipation.

"Youchen, promise me. No matter what happens in the future, you have to stay by my side like this, listen to what I say, and spend the long night with me."

Ming Youchen still didn't speak, his calm expression and still indifferent eyes finally aroused Luan Tiance's impatience and anxiety.

The emperor squeezed the hand in his palm, and shook it vigorously as if urging him. Finally, Ming Youchen was indifferent, and when he was about to speak again, he heard the same soft whisper as Night Breeze.

"I try my best."

Almost suspecting that there was something wrong with his ears, Luan Tiance instantly forgot what he was going to say, stared blankly at Ming Youchen who was also looking straight at him, and chewed the three words that the other party just said in his mouth Thinking that this is a rare alienation that Ming Youchen did not show, it seems that there has never been any conspiracy, hatred and suspicion between them.

The emperor was almost obsessed, there was faint light flowing in Ming Youchen's quiet eyes, the two of them stared quietly, thousands of words stopped in their mouths at the same time.

"Report to Your Majesty, the ministers are waiting in the court room."

Du Chengjing's high-pitched voice rang out outside the palace door, Luan Tiance regained consciousness first, he withdrew his hand, then carefully opened Luan Jiayue's little hand, and pulled Ming Youchen off the bed.

The monarch and his ministers did a little freshening up, and they didn't bother to have breakfast, so they hurried to the court.

After the civil and military ministers shouted long live three times, Luan Tiance dealt with the trivial matters as usual, and handed over the general and political affairs to the meeting cabinet presided over by Xiangguo.But when the Ministry of Rites announced that Lord Hu Yi was going to meet Princess Anning in person, Luan Tiance made the decision to personally send the imperial sister out of Beijing for three hundred miles.

"Your Majesty Chen Qi, out of respect for the future princess, Lord Hu Yi sent a letter a few days ago saying that he would lead an army to welcome the princess. In order to avoid suspicion, he planned to bypass the border of our country and come to Suiyan to meet the princess there, taking a shortcut. Turn back to Hu Yi." The Minister of the Ministry of War was in the middle of speaking, but was suppressed by the emperor.

"The great lord is very considerate. It is indeed much closer to go straight from Suiyan Kingdom to Huyi than Princess Anning from me to Huyi. The climate of Suiyan Kingdom is mild and the roads are smooth, allowing the princess to gradually adapt to the changes in weather and human customs." Luan Tiance Nodding his head, he glared at the officials.

"Who made you always say that the emperor's official route can only be used by the emperor or people authorized by the emperor when a major military incident occurs in the country? Otherwise, how could it take so many days for the princess's send-off team to go through the official route? "

Before Minister of the Ministry of War answered, Luan Tiance smiled lightly and said, "But this is also good, I can keep the princess for a few more days."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites saw Ming Youchen remained silent, knowing that he didn't think so, he bowed to dissuade him.

"Your Majesty, what I said before is to hope that you will think twice. Then the great lord of Hu Yi just crossed the border of Suiyan and greeted him politely. If you decide to send the princess for three hundred miles in person, how can you not see the great lord? Return? In this way, the emperor must send the princess to the vicinity of Suiyan country, and meeting the great lord is not rude to the monarchs of other countries. The journey is far away, and the emperor is a king of a country who cannot be absent from the court for a long time."

"Among all my imperial sisters, I am closest to the fourth imperial sister. She went to a foreign country for my sake, and I can't see her off in person, so what's the point of being the elder brother and the emperor?"

Luan Tiance was furious when he heard the words, he patted the armrest of the dragon chair and stood up, sternly reprimanded:

"Sitting in the court, how many major events can I really handle personally? Why do you say that the monarch cannot stay away from court for a day? This matter is settled like this. It is not immoral for me to send the princess, but to commend her. She sacrificed her lifelong happiness for my court. If you have something to do with Xiangguo, he will help me solve my problems."

All the ministers, including famous generals and disciples, bowed their heads deeply because the emperor was furious, and did not speak at this time.Luan Tiance, who was still angry, saw Ming Youchen, who was looking up at the dragon chair, standing proudly alone, as if thinking, the emperor's heart jumped for no reason, his eyes became more serious, and he kept his angry face and walked away.

Ming Youchen could feel from the emperor's gaffe last night that Luan Tiance felt sorry for Luan Lingxuan. He understood the emperor's ambivalence that he could not respond to Princess Anning, but had to use her to calm the border disturbances. Wouldn't be happy to do that.

However, last night, instead, he took advantage of Luan Lingxuan's guilt and unspeakable love for Luan Tiance, and took the opportunity to urge that pitiful but respected woman on the surface to make up her mind to sacrifice her life for the harmonious coexistence of the people of the two dynasties. happiness.

Thinking of this, Ming Youchen felt a little pity in his heart, but he had to end his thoughts, because people from famous families came to visit and talked about the emperor's complaints and anger in the court before, deeply feeling that the king was dissatisfied and jealous, they felt so It is not good for Mingjia if it continues to develop, so I came here to ask Ming Youchen what to do.

In fact, the name Youchen knows that many of these worried people only care about their own interests, and there are many ambitious people.He responded to them one by one with a calm expression, comforted them with praise or derogation for a while, and sent the clansmen and disciples away.

Finally calmed down, he took a sip of the tea sent by Shen Ye, Ming Youchen suddenly felt a deep sense of tiredness from the bottom of his heart, and quickly rushed to his limbs, pressing his body heavy, as if he couldn't Feeling very tired even talking or blinking.

An outer garment was put on Ming Youchen's shoulders, he didn't look back, of course only Luan Tiance was the only one in the world who dared to get close to him unscrupulously without letting the servants and servants pass on.

"Your complexion doesn't look good. Youchen, don't you agree with me sending Lingxuan to Suiyan Kingdom?"

"I do not agree with the emperor leaving Beijing. But after thinking about it, Sui Yan is a close ally of our dynasty, and the younger sister of the monarch married the younger brother of the great lord of Hu Yi as the princess. Good. There should be no danger for the emperor to go to Sui Yan."

"From the land of Hu Yi to Sui Yan, the journey and time spent there are similar to the time I spent in Tiandu. I should be fine. Could it be that there is something happening on the other side that I and You Chen don't know yet?" Luan Tiance listened Ming Youchen's tone was light, as if he was loose, he couldn't help but sighed and said again, "Lingxuan and I will never see her again, and it's reasonable to see her off in person."

"Your Majesty, please be more careful. Wherever you go, you must carefully arm yourself to prevent accidents."

"I understand. Everything I am going here is arranged based on the view of the dust, and there is no danger. It's a pity that you have to stay in the court to handle government affairs on my behalf, and you can't go with Zhen."

"It's hard to have the best of both worlds. Since the emperor is determined to send the princess off personally, he will definitely pay an extra price. Fortunately, the emperor has made sufficient preparations for Princess An Ning's wedding. Now the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rituals only need to add more guards and additional etiquette for the emperor to travel. That's it." Ming Youchen said softly.

"This farewell is the last thing I will do for Lingxuan. I hope that she will marry in a glorious manner and be envied by all the women in the world." Luan Tiance put away his previous furious attitude in court, and he frowned sincerely. The name Youchen said, without ignoring the deep tiredness in the eyes of the person in front of him.

So the monarch and his ministers stopped discussing the court affairs, the emperor passed the ginseng soup to someone, and personally drank a bowl with Ming Youchen, and ordered everyone to remind the Xiangguo to eat on time, and then left Yehong Palace contentedly.

The next day, Ming Youchen ordered the Ministry of War to dispatch a large number of people to strengthen the defense of Princess An Ning's sending off team.

Everyone inside and outside the palace is busy with marriage affairs. Duan Yuzi's disturbance of the palace is gradually forgotten. Even the little maids who like to talk about the emperor's family affairs in private are attracted by Princess Anning's far-away marriage. The Hu Yi lord I met, and the future life of the princess in a foreign country.

With the arrival of Princess Anning's trip, the whole country knows that the emperor sent his most beloved royal sister away to marry him. This move will greatly improve the status quo that the border has been harassed by Hu barbarians for many years. Maybe after the signing of the peace agreement, there will be no Few soldiers can go home.The common people said that the grace of heaven was mighty, and they sincerely sent the princess away, and they were extremely grateful to the young emperor.

In this way, until the day of parting day after day, Luan Tiance and Luan Lingxuan got up early, bid farewell to the queen mothers of the two palaces, went to the ancestral temple to pay homage to the spiritual thrones of the Taizu and the late emperor, and finally slowly emerged with the huge escort guards in the crowd of people. left the capital.

Ming Youchen sent Luan Tiance away, returned to the palace, listened to the reports of the ministers, and approved some papers, and it was almost night.

"My lord, take a break. You haven't had any rice or tea for a day, how can you survive? Could it be that the emperor is not here, and you are busy with state affairs, so you don't remember to eat." Seeing Ming Youchen with a tired face, Gu Deng hurried up exhorted in a low voice.

Ming Youchen was slightly stunned, Luan Tiance would always come to Yehong Palace when it was time to eat, he was used to having meals with the emperor, now there is one less person who reminds him to eat on time, he just buried himself in handling the affairs of the court, no wonder The valet couldn't stand it anymore.

"Let's pass on the meal. Well, did the spies send any news? Where are the emperor and Lord Hu Yi at the moment?" Ming Youchen put down his pen, ignoring the sudden desolation and loneliness, and asked casually.

"Don't worry, the servant has ordered the spies to report back the movements of the emperor and the Hu Yi people at any time. I got the news before that not long after the emperor left, the great lord of the Hu Yi also led his army to leave."

"Can the other half of their army stay in the desert?"

"According to the investigation, the soldiers and horses of the great lord's younger brother are still stationed in place, and there is no suspicious movement."

Ming Youchen nodded, quite satisfied with the report from the servant who knew what he wanted.From this point of view, the wedding should be successfully concluded.

"The procession of seeing off relatives is moving slowly. It will take a month to go from the capital to Suiyan, but when the emperor comes back, he will be dressed lightly, and it may take less than half a month to appear outside the gate of the palace." Gu Deng took out the hot dishes and was happy Serving the master who finally had a rest, he said with a light smile.

Silently staring at the talkative Gu Deng, Ming Youchen saw Shen Ye on the other side also raised the corner of his mouth in silent joy, as if he felt that Gu Deng had spoken what was in his heart.Sighing lightly, Ming Youchen found helplessly that the two little eunuchs who followed him had become more and more wanton recently, the former Gu Deng and Shen Ye would never dare to treat him like this.

Could it be because they saw Luan Tiance's unrestrained, absurd and indulgent behaviors, so they became cunning?From this point of view, the influence of the emperor is very great.

Ming Youchen's thoughts turned here, he quietly looked up at the crescent moon hanging high in the night sky, and suddenly thought of the warmth and strength that would embrace him at this time in the past, he couldn't help sighing very lightly in one breath.

For several days in a row, Ming Youchen received reports about the emperor's itinerary that were all the same. They were full of reports about when the send-off team left in the morning, where they were stationed in the evening, and what the emperor ate; Everyone thinks that the return of the emperor is only a matter of time.

Unexpectedly, when a month was about to pass, when Ming Youchen was reviewing the imperial court scriptures from various places in the inner hall of Yehong Palace, Shen Ye, with an uncertain expression, walked in quickly leading a panic-stricken school general.Before Ming Youchen could raise his head, the principal who was covered in dust in his robe knelt down with a "plop".

"Master Xiangguo, the emperor is in danger, please send troops to rescue him immediately!"

"Crack." The brush in Ming Youchen's hand fell, and a small string of vermilion ink was drawn on the memorial.But he immediately picked up the pen that fell on the booklet, and said with a normal expression: "Get up and answer, what happened to the emperor?"

"Yes." The school general straightened his back, but still knelt on the ground, "The emperor led the princess's send-off team to the Sui Yan country. Our army recently received news from Mr. Xiangguo that Hu Yi's cavalry was not like ours. The army marched slowly with the princess's dowry, they had already reached the Sui-Yan border; but the emperor thought that as long as the princess was sent to meet the great lord on time, it should not be considered rude."

"Naturally. Then what happened when you said that the emperor was in danger?" Ming Youchen's voice was unusually calm, and his calm attitude finally calmed down the principal who reported the letter.

Gu Deng and Shen Ye on the side shook their heads secretly. They had never seen their master lose his composure while reviewing the memorial, let alone hold the pen steadily. It can be seen that Ming Youchen's heart was far from calm on the surface.

"Unexpectedly, the border of Sui and Yan was suddenly trampled by the Hu Yi people a few days ago, and countless soldiers guarding the border were killed and injured. A small number of escaped soldiers rushed to the official road where the emperor sent the princess off, and informed His Majesty of the urgent military situation. Hu Yi and Sui Yan had already There is a premeditated plan, and I want to plot my capital. Now the emperor will change to a striker after seeing off his relatives, throwing away the things that Princess An Ning brought with him, and intends to rush to the royal official road as soon as possible and return to Kyoto."

"What you want to say is that the leaders of Hu Yi and Sui Yanguo are chasing after each other. Even if the emperor can arrive in time to use the official route, good or bad will be uncertain without reinforcements, right?" Ming Youchen frowned deeply: "A few days ago, the spies told Didn't the news come that Hu Yi and Sui Yan had no suspicious activity?"

"Our border guards also think so, so when the king of Sui Yan and the great lord of Hu Yi used the excuse of rewarding the army and welcoming the princess, they ordered the sergeants to pretend to be ceremonial musicians and porters, and broke through our border with hidden weapons. Guard."

While speaking, Gu Deng received a letter from Fei Ge, proving that Luan Tiance was indeed leading Luan Lingxuan to the royal official road, and Hu Yi and Sui Yan's army followed suit.

"Hu Yi and Sui Yan Kingdom both have spies under my court. If there is any movement, I will know, but this time there is no news at all? It can be seen that this change cannot have been premeditated. Could it be that the two countries improvised Or is there any article behind this?"

Ming Youchen murmured, then raised his head to look at the school general who was eagerly waiting for his rescue.

"Now the most important thing is to save the emperor from danger! Pass down the order to mobilize the defenders of the capital and my famous troops, and set off from the official road used by the emperor to rescue him. In a hurry, we should be able to mobilize 30 troops. Well, Hu Yi With Sui Yan's soldiers strong and horses strong and good at riding and shooting, we need more troops, and we will transfer another 15 from the Ministry of War."

"My lord, without the emperor's permission, even if you are the prime minister and the prince conferred by the previous emperor, you cannot walk on the official road dedicated to the emperor."

"Yes, my lord. Since the First World War in the South, the Ministry of War has followed the decision of your lord and the emperor. If you want to mobilize troops from other places when a major event occurs, you must show the military talisman of the emperor and you at the same time. If you violate two major taboos in a row , there is no guarantee that it will not..."

"Saving the emperor and the princess is the most important thing right now. Am I still afraid of other people's gossip? Even if I don't have the emperor's military talisman, the minister of the Ministry of War would dare not not allocate the troops I want!" Ming Youchen The voice was not loud, but it was solemn, and Gu Deng and Shen Ye, who still wanted to persuade, dared not speak any more.

Following Ming Youchen for many years, the two of them knew his master's temperament well. Ming Youchen, who seldom had such an expression, made up his mind at this moment, what other people said... he would not take it to heart.

Gu Deng and Shen Ye had no choice but to go to the Ministry of War under the order of the well-known worrying soldier talisman.

"Wait a while." Just as Gu Deng and Shen Ye were about to step out of the inner hall, Ming Youchen suddenly stopped them again: "What's going on in the south?"

"A few days ago, there was news that General Luo was seriously ill and bedridden; the remnants of the Nanyi took advantage of this to attack the border counties. The two generals sent by your lord are currently leading an army to encircle and suppress them. Since the number of enemy troops is small, the battle should have calmed down by now."

"Is that so?" Ming Youchen had a very strange expression on his face, he couldn't tell whether it was shock or anger, disappointment or worry, and there was a faint tiredness that was hard to describe in words in his dark eyes. There was an inexplicable sadness on his face.

This was a look never seen on Ming Youchen's face, Gu Deng and Shen Ye felt pain in their hearts when they saw it, they couldn't help lowering their heads at the same time, not knowing where the sudden pain in their hearts came from.

"Go, pass the order as I said before. You don't need to travel with me this time, stay in Yehong Palace for now." Ming Youchen waved his hand lightly after finishing his order.

This decision surprised people who knew that no matter where Ming Youchen went, Gu Deng and Shen Ye were used to following him.

But the people around did not dare to delay, and each took orders to quickly mobilize the troops.

At four o'clock, the three armies gathered outside the imperial city under the orders of Youchen.The army led by Mingjia is the strongest in Tiandu. Mingyouchen didn't pay attention to these abilities of the generals. He got on his horse and stopped looking back at the imperial city. Official way to the emperor.
