King Lingyu

It took Sima Lingyu and the others another two days to arrive at Fengyuan County, where they also met Ji Jingchang, the general stationed at the border as scheduled.

Sima Lingyu had never met Ji Jingchang, but Ji Jingchang was very excited to see her. "My lord, are you the son of Prince Dun?"

"Yes, General Ji." Sima Lingyu looked at Ji Jingchang in front of him. It seemed that he had passed his forties, but he was still majestic in the general's armor.

He took Sima Lingyu's hand and said with emotion, "That's great, that's great!"

Although Sima Lingyu didn't know what Ji Jingchang said was great, but she instinctively felt that General Ji must have something to do with Ama, otherwise he wouldn't ask her if she was Ama's son as soon as he saw her.He should be one of his own!

Fengyuan County is the closest county to the border that has not yet been breached by Hanguan. Sima Lingyu and the others settled down and began to discuss combat strategies.

"My lord, I have informed the five border provinces that in about two days, an army of 20 can be assembled. Let's send envoys to negotiate first. If the customs returns my lost land, I will retreat 1000 kilometers and pay [-] taels of gold to my court every year. We can live in peace, otherwise we will drive them far away."

"Okay," Sima Lingyu thought of the second head of the cottage, "Why don't we let that Yan Ting talk, I think he should be competent."

"Then this subordinate will go to him and ask him to prepare. When the army is assembled, he will be asked to go on an envoy."

"From my point of view, this negotiation will not have any effect," Sima Lingyu looked at Ji Jingchang, "They just captured a few of our frontier towns, and they feel good about themselves!"

Ji Jingchang smiled, and said confidently, "My lord is right, but this time I can't let him go."

"The two generals have rich combat experience. I would like to ask the two generals to discuss the specific combat plan and report the results of the discussion to the king. The king has returned to his room."

Ji Jingchang arranged for Sima Lingyu and the eldest princess to live in the most spacious mansion in Fengyuan County, next to the army headquarters camp.

Sima Lingyu didn't go back to the room directly, but went to the pavilion in the corner of the house. She needed to be alone for the meeting. These days were spent with the soldiers who went to war or with the eldest princess, and there was no time for solitude at all.This made her a little flustered. Since she was a child, she had the habit of thinking alone, and many things were often solved when she was thinking alone.

At this moment, Sima Lingyu misses her room in the Prince Consort's Mansion very much. In that room, she can think about many things without anyone daring to disturb her. She can also follow the secret passage to the back hall to see Sister Yun.Sister Yun!Sister Yun!Sima Lingyu misses her so much, thinks so much, what is Sister Yun doing now?Is she okay in Lu Mansion?

Sima Lingyu was sitting at the table in the pavilion, and she lay prone on the table, burying her face in her arms.She imagined that she was in the gentle hometown of sister Yun.

Sima Lingyu sniffed, she felt like crying again at this moment.I went out this time and left Sister Yun for so long, did she also think about it so much that she wanted to cry?Sima Lingyu knew that even if she told her that she was fine and asked her not to read it, would Sister Yun really feel relieved?Every day she was away, she cared about her one more day, just like she was worried about her.

Sima Lingyu was really anxious at the moment, he wanted to expel those barbaric Hanguan people as soon as possible, and then return to the capital to avenge Ama as soon as possible, and he would be relieved.

When Sima Lingyu was alone in the pavilion, there was a person watching her from a distance, and this person was Jingwen Gege.

After settling down, Jingwen Gege walked around the yard and saw a small pavilion in the corner of the yard. Just as she was about to go there, she saw Sima Lingyu lying on the small table in the center of the pavilion.She stopped all of a sudden and just stood looking at her from a distance.At first she thought that Sima Lingyu was unwell, but later found that she just wanted to be quiet, and she seemed to be in pain seeing Sima Lingyu, she couldn't see Sima Lingyu's face, but saw her trembling shoulders, Did Brother Ling Yu cry?Jingwen Gege was deeply shocked, what made this free and easy man cry?This scene made Jingwen very sad, she turned around full of doubts and left, she was very afraid that Sima Lingyu would feel embarrassed because she saw her fragile side.

Sima Lingyu really shed tears, thinking of Sister Yun and what happened after she entered Beijing, she couldn't hold back, but after only a short while, she quickly adjusted her state, wiped away her tears, and walked out of the pavilion.

Not long after Sima Lingyu returned to the room, someone came to report that the two generals Ji and Li were waiting outside to report on the battle plan.

It's really speed, Sima Lingyu thought, and came to the army to command the camp.Ji Jingchang and Li Ming were already waiting.

Seeing that Sima Lingyu had arrived, the two of them told Sima Lingyu the battle plan in detail.

Although Sima Lingyu didn't know much about the formation of troops, he could tell that the two men's battle plan was very thorough, taking almost every possible situation into consideration.

After hearing this, Sima Lingyu smiled, "The two generals have been on the battlefield for a long time and have rich experience. This king completely trusts you. Under the leadership of the two generals, our army will surely win a big victory. Then there is no need to delay. Follow the plan!"

"My lord, the subordinates will go down to find Yan Ting!" Li Ming said and left first.

Only Ji Jingchang and Sima Lingyu were left in the tent.As soon as Li Ming left, Ji Jingchang immediately came over and knelt down for Sima Lingyu, which surprised Sima Lingyu. "General Ji?"

"My lord, this subordinate has been waiting for this day for a long time." Ji Jingchang has already called himself "subordinate".

"Why did General Ji say that?" Sima Lingyu felt that Ji Jingchang would definitely tell her something she didn't know.

Sure enough, Ji Jingchang was originally a confidant of Murong Zhuo, a subordinate of Prince Dun, and of course no outsider knew about it.At that time, Prince Dun was forced to leave Beijing, and the officials who had good friends with him were demoted one by one. Murong Zhuo was no exception. He was demoted to Qingwu Township as a magistrate, but Ji Jingchang was not implicated. The imperial court seeks a job, but keeps getting promoted, Prince Dun instructed Murong Zhuo to ask Ji Jingchang to restrain his edge and not to stay in Beijing, so Ji Jingchang took the initiative to invite Ying to garrison the frontier.

This time, Ji Jingchang was defeated one after another, also because he received news from Murong Zhuo that Prince Dun wanted Sima Lingyu to come out of Beijing to discuss major issues, and because he had no other way, he had to take a gamble. Understood, he bet that she still had a grudge against him and would be wary of him. If the frontier was in an emergency, she would probably send Yu'er to the expedition. Such a strategy of killing two birds with one stone was exactly what the empress dowager used.

Sima Lingyu was shocked when she heard the words, it turned out that Ama was controlling all of this. Although Ama was only in the palace, she managed to set up such a big game!Sima Lingyu couldn't help sighing, if Ama had become the Ninth Five-Year Lord back then, with Ama's ability, I am afraid that he would expand the territory and expand the territory, then the pass would have ceased to exist long ago!It seems that Ama has been planning since the day he went to Beijing, otherwise he would not have made a special trip to Qingwu to bring the secret letter to Murong Zhuo.

Ama got herself out of Beijing, so what else is she going to discuss?

"General Ji," Sima Lingyu expressed his doubts, "Then I have already left the capital, what will my Ama plan?"

"This, let the prince tell you in person!" Ji Jingchang said to Sima Lingyu with a smile.

What?Hearing this, Sima Lingyu couldn't believe his ears, did Ama come?

At this time, behind a large mural behind Ji Jingchang, there was a loud noise, and Prince Dun slowly walked out from behind the mural.

Sima Lingyu's eyes widened, seeing that it was indeed her Ama who came, she hurried forward to salute, "Ama, it's really you!"

Ji Jing saw the reunion of father and son, so he tactfully withdrew.

"Yu'er, good boy!" Prince Dun helped Sima Lingyu up.

"Ama, why did you come to the border? What if the Empress Dowager finds out?"

Prince Dun smiled, "How could she know, she only knows that Ama is still in Prince Dun's mansion!"

"Did Ama find a substitute?" Sima Lingyu asked.

Prince Dun nodded, "Ama would not have taken the risk to come here if this opportunity hadn't been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Ama wants to take advantage of this opportunity—?" Sima Lingyu thought, could it be the opposite this time?

"Although the Hanguan tribe has strong soldiers and horses, General Ji is more than enough to deal with them. This defeat is intentional."

Sure enough, as Sima Lingyu expected, this was Ama's idea.

"Even if we drive away the soldiers in Hanguan, are we going to take the soldiers back to Beijing?"

Prince Dun shook his head, "It's such a long journey, it's too tiring, you must have experienced it this time."

"That……?"

"We have a quick battle with Hanguan, let it submit to me, and then first seize the control of all the northern provinces of the Nantige Desert, and at the same time contact various forces in Beijing, go straight to Huanglong, capture the palace, and replace all key towns with Our people are on guard. When the situation in central Beijing stabilizes, we will return to the court and replace him!"

Sima Lingyu thought, Ama's plan is good, but if this is the case, he will bear the eternal infamy of usurping/seizing power, "Ama, but we rebelled, and we must be famous as teachers, otherwise the people will not submit. our."

"So, we still have one more important thing to do—creating speech and spreading rumors!"

"Ama, although the empress dowager killed many people in order to seize power, people can only think of her as a woman who wants her husband to become a dragon!"

"That's because the people don't know the truth, they say they are spreading rumors, but in fact they should be spreading the truth, it's time for the truth to be revealed to the world!" Prince Dun looked far away, "It's right to want your husband to become a dragon, but what if you murder your own husband? When people know that the woman who rules them now is the chief culprit who killed the late emperor and murdered the prince, how will they react?"

"What? Murder your own husband?" Sima Lingyu was startled, the first emperor was killed by the empress dowager?
