In the imperial study room, there was silence, except for the crunching sound of Eunuch Liu accidentally stepping on the broken porcelain pieces lying on the ground.

Han Lingfu took the booklet handed over by Eunuch Liu and looked at it intently. He suddenly felt happy and suppressed the corners of his mouth that almost raised.

In this secret, Marquis Pingyang impassionedly stated the charges against the Zhennan Palace and reprimanded him for resisting and disobeying the decree. Not only was he unwilling to send his concubine and grandson to the capital, he also imprisoned the imperial envoy Chen Rentai for this reason. Since then, Chen Rentai’s life and death are still unknown. Afterwards, the Zhennan Palace used the excuse of years of fighting and loss of troops to passively fight against Baiyue.

After seeing what happened, Han Lingfu was more than just surprised. What Zhennan Palace did was completely beyond his expectation. No wonder there was no news from Chen Rentai... Zhennan Palace was simply looking for death this time!

However, for myself, this is the best thing!

Han Lingfu's dark eyes shone with excitement, and he closed the folds angrily with his hands.

"Mistress, what do you think?" The emperor behind the case asked slowly, his face as dark as water, and his sharp eyes stared at Han Lingfu closely.

Han Lingfu suppressed the joy in his heart, looked directly at the emperor, and then followed the emperor's thoughts and said indignantly: "Father, King Zhennan not only disobeyed the king's order, but also dared to passively use troops to threaten the father. This is basically supporting the emperor. A soldier must respect himself and be lawless. Such an unfaithful and unjust person will surely cause serious trouble!"

As he spoke, Han Lingfu bowed his head in a serious manner and said sonorously and forcefully: "For the sake of the great prosperity of the country and the country, and for the sake of the people of Li, I also ask my father to summon troops to southern Xinjiang and capture the king of Zhennan and his son, so as to determine our great destiny. Yujiangshan."

He bowed his head and remained still, waiting for the emperor's response.

The emperor's face was still covered with a cloud, his eyes flickered slightly, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and the corners of his mouth were firm.

In the royal study room, it was quiet and the atmosphere was a bit solemn. Even Eunuch Liu looked downcast...

Early the next morning, Marquis Pingyang's suggestion caused an uproar in the morning court. The courtiers made a fuss. No one could believe that Zhennan Palace had such courage. They couldn't help but look at each other and whisper to each other.

Gu Mo, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, and Li Heng, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, who were divided into two columns, exchanged quick glances, and then Gu Mo came up and said righteously: "Your Majesty, I think that the King of Zhennan is arrogant and domineering. Since there is no imperial court, we cannot encourage this trend. We should conquer southern Xinjiang to serve as a warning to others."

"Master Gu is right." Master Qian, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, hurriedly agreed, "Although the King of Zhennan has an army of 200,000, he has been fighting for years, and the military strength and people's livelihood are greatly insufficient. It is vulnerable to a single blow. Your Majesty, it is a serious danger for the vassal king to support his troops with self-respect!"

The impassioned speech made many ministers think deeply.

What Mr. Gu and Mr. Qian said is true. From the old King Zhennan to this generation of heirs, the Zhennan Palace has made great achievements in military affairs for decades, but it has always been suspected of being too powerful to overwhelm the emperor and to rely on troops to respect itself.

It turns out that the imperial court had no reason to march south, fearing that people in the world would say that the emperor had used all his birds to hide his bow. But now, the Zhennan Palace has formed a clique for personal gain, is arrogant and domineering, and dares to put the imperial envoys under house arrest. It is clear that he has the intention to rebel.

It is better to take advantage of this opportunity to remove the vassal king and return southern Xinjiang to the imperial court, so that Dayu's country can be stabilized!

Following this, several ministers from the main war faction also expressed their opinions. For a time, the waves of main war came one after another. The momentum became more and more powerful, and the crowd in the court was furious.

The emperor sat on the high dragon chair with a straight face and did not speak for a long time, but many veterans who knew the emperor's heart had vaguely guessed that the emperor was probably moved.

Several ministers also looked at each other secretly, worried, feeling that this situation might be very unfavorable to Zhennan Palace.

If this battle is really unavoidable, then Dayu may be facing another huge storm!

At this time, an old minister with gray hair and beard walked out of the queue. The whole court could not help but be silent, and their eyes were focused on him.

He is none other than Duke Enguo, the queen's father.

"Your Majesty," Duke Enguo said sternly with a loud voice, "The Zhennan Palace has always been a barrier for Dayu's southern border. It has been loyal to the court for decades and protected Dayu's peace without committing any crimes. The veteran thought that this must be one of them. If there is any misunderstanding, we should send imperial envoys to southern Xinjiang to appease them, and we should not talk about conquest lightly."

The reason why Duke En Guo advocated appeasement was that on the one hand he considered that Dayu had been fighting for years and could no longer talk about war lightly. On the other hand, he also considered that the fifth prince, the princess of Zhennan, the Nangong family and the fifth prince The relationship is close, the fifth prince has lost the Nangong family, and can no longer live without the support of the Zhennan Palace...

After that, some ministers echoed the argument on the grounds that the war wasted people and money, and even stated that the civil war would destroy Dayu's military strength, and if not, it would tear the country apart. In the end, it would be the ordinary people who would suffer.

The ministers were talking to each other and it was very lively. The Manchu Dynasty was divided into two factions. One faction was headed by Duke Enguo, who advocated peace as the most important thing and asked the emperor to send people to southern Xinjiang to appease him. The other faction It advocates conquest.

And the latter has the potential to suppress the former.

After arguing for nearly an hour, but still to no avail, the emperor finally announced his resignation.

The emperor was still hesitating, weighing the benefits of the Southern Expedition... Moreover, if he missed this opportunity, how many years would he have to wait before he could remove the thorn in his side of the Zhen'an Palace!

Although the emperor did not issue an explicit decree, one stone stirred up a thousand waves. The emperor's intention to conquer the south still caused a huge uproar in the government and the public. The courtiers discussed endlessly in private, whether they advocated war or peace. While secretly watching the direction of the wind in the court hall, I felt quite a bit disturbed by the wind.

Gongjun Prince Han Lingfu was very satisfied. He was almost certain that his father would use troops in southern Xinjiang. However, the fifth prince Han Lingfan was worried. After the morning court, he hurried out of the palace and rushed to En. The Duke's Mansion discussed with Duke Enguo.

After having a secret conversation in the study with the grandson and the prince of Duke Enguo, they planned to contact several of the principal and the courtiers to enter the palace together and persuade the emperor.

After Prince Enguo took the order and left, only the grandfather and grandson were left in the study. The air was heavy, and it felt like a huge stone was pressing on their hearts.

Gong Enguo sighed deeply, seeming to be sighing, but also seeming to be talking to himself: "The emperor has become more and more confused in the past two years..."

Although the former emperor was not a wise and wise king, he worked hard and was diligent in political affairs. However, since his stroke a few years ago, the emperor's energy has been getting worse year by year. In the past two years, his brain has even seemed to be weak. A little confused...

Of course Han Lingfan also heard it, but as a son, he could not criticize his father. After being silent for a long time, Han Lingfan said solemnly: "It would be great if Aunt Yongyang was in the royal capital..."

The sigh disappeared in the air, and this trip to the Benguo Duke's Mansion made Han Lingfan's heart become heavier.

Next, turmoil arose in the court. On April 29th, Duke Enguo contacted a group of courtiers to write to the emperor, citing all the disadvantages of the war and asking the emperor not to engage in war. When the document was presented to the emperor's court, the emperor only read half of it and became furious. He felt that these courtiers and subordinates were persecuting him!

The emperor knew that Duke Enguo was behind the conspiracy, so he angered the queen and the fifth prince, and ordered the queen to shut herself up in Fengluan Palace to reflect on herself. He also reprimanded the fifth prince, telling him to study hard in the study and do nothing. Don't leave the palace.

Han Lingfu saw the opportunity and repeatedly advised the Southern Expedition. Every word was in line with the emperor's heart, which also made the emperor more eager to fight. He was ready to move, but he could not make the final determination...

The atmosphere in the court has also become more subtle, like a big bow being tightened little by little...

Everyone, including the emperor, knew in their hearts that it would be difficult to stop the overflowing water. Once the bow was drawn, there would be no chance to look back!

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, the emperor received a secret letter. This letter also came from southern Xinjiang. It was secretly sent to the emperor by the third princess without telling Pingyang Marquis.

In the letter, the third princess elaborated on all the experiences she had experienced after arriving in Luoyue City. She filed a severe complaint against Zhennan Palace, and determined that she was the king and was suspected of rebellion. She asked the emperor to They must be severely punished.

The emperor, who was still hesitant at first, finally made up his mind at this moment. As if a ball of flint was dropped into a pot of boiling hot oil, his anger instantly burned, completely engulfing the emperor's reason... …

In anger, the emperor immediately ordered the first assistant Cheng Dongyang and other cabinet ministers to be recruited into the palace. He said straight to the point: "The King of Zhennan disobeys the emperor's order and supports his troops with self-respect. If this continues, he will only The carbuncle has become a disease. I am determined to conquer the south. How do you think the troops, food, grass, armor and equipment should be allocated?"

There was silence in the imperial study room for a long time before the second person spoke up...

On this day, it was not until the fourth watch of the gongs and drums that several cabinet ministers came out of the imperial study. The surroundings were dark and dead, with only the stars and moon in the night sky looking down at them. All the ministers looked solemn. , the arrow has been drawn, the storm that has been brewing for more than half a month is finally coming...

Early the next morning, a secret edict from the emperor was rushed to southern Xinjiang.

When the secret decree arrived at Luoyue City, it was already early June.

For Marquis Pingyang, this secret edict was like a hot potato.

Since coming to southern Xinjiang years ago, Marquis Pingyang has never lived a peaceful life. Half a year later, he has lost a lot of weight. It seems that he is completely different from the Marquis Pingyang who was pampered in the royal capital. people.

Pingyang Hou stayed alone in the study for a long time, sighing a lot, but had to face the reality, and went to Bixiaotang with a secret order to see Xiao Yi.

However, the concierge dismissed Marquis Pingyang lightly with the words "The prince is still in the military camp and has not come back". Marquis Pingyang didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief, asked the concierge to convey the message to him, and left in despair.

The East Street door slammed shut again, and the news of Pingyang Hou's visit immediately spread to the backyard and reached Xiao Yi's ears.

Xiao Yi came back from the Luo Yuecheng camp more than an hour ago and is currently staying at home to laze around.

Southern Xinjiang in June is already as hot as midsummer in the royal capital, and the sun is extremely dazzling.

The four-and-a-half-month-old little guy has already learned how to lie down, is lively and active, and is full of energy and always wants to explore around. Nangong Yue feels quite uncontrollable, so she simply makes the maids sit under the shade of the trees behind the house. A soft Persian carpet is laid out, allowing the little one to play by himself.

The dense shade of trees blocks most of the sunlight, making the air cooler and more comfortable, making it perfect for enjoying the shade.

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue sat face to face on the carpet. The little meatball in blue clothes between them lay contentedly on the carpet, steady and firm, with their chin raised high.

"Giggle."

The little guy suddenly retracted his legs, arched his buttocks, and moved forward two or three inches like a soft, chubby little beast. A little fat pig rested on his father's body, and he seemed to As if he had accomplished some great feat, he grinned at his father, revealing his pink teeth and the only milky white front tooth. Transparent saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth habitually...

Xiao Yi quickly wiped away the saliva from the little fool's mouth with a handkerchief. As soon as the little guy saw something shaking, he subconsciously grabbed it. Unfortunately, his hands were not as fast as his father's, and his fat little claws missed it.

The little guy pursed his lips, his eyes widened, staring at the square handkerchief in Xiao Yi's hand, like a little fat cat aiming at its prey.

Xiao Yi smiled and extended his right hand to the "little fat cat" again. The "little fat cat" excitedly grabbed it with its claws, but the result was that the world was spinning...

Before the little guy could figure out what was going on, he had already changed from lying down to lying down, with his feet in the air, like a turtle that had been turned over.

The father smiled happily, thinking: How about asking the sewing room to make a dark green turtle for the brat?

Nangong Yue is already very used to such scenes.

Anyway, since Brother Yu was born, he has been "played" by his father a lot. I don’t know if other babies are like this too. Brother Yu doesn’t hold any grudge at all, he still smiles at his father and plays with him as usual.

Fortunately, this kid has a big heart! Nangong Yue sighed and thought to herself.

The little guy blinked stupidly, his **** and white eyes were wet. Just when Nangong Yue thought he was going to cry, he had already waved his limbs and turned over neatly, turning into a lying position again. Then he raised his round head...

"Dong dong...dong dong..."

The rhythmic sound of the rattle sounded at this moment. The little guy immediately heard the sound and ran away. His eyes were bright and he stared at the big red rattle swinging back and forth in Nangong Yue's hand. He suddenly forgot about the handkerchief. .

He knows this thing is his toy!

My mother also belongs to me!

The little guy screamed "baaaaaaaah", as if to say, this is mine! It's all mine!

He shook his little meat claws at Nangong Yue, barked and drooled, and washed the Persian carpet "tick tock"...

Giggles echoed in the air from time to time, and even the servants in the yard couldn't help laughing when they heard it.

When Han Qixia and Fu Yunhe came, they saw this scene, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Seeing Xiao Yi's family of three living happily, Fu Yunhe quickly thought of something else, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

After the two people stepped forward to greet Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue, they followed Fu Yunhe and asked, "Brother, can you take a step to speak?" There was a rare solemnity on the baby's face.

"The green plum wine brewed by your sister-in-law is just enough to drink. Let's go to the front and have a few drinks." Xiao Yi stood up from the carpet without wearing boots. He stepped on the ground with his white socks and walked away with Fu Yunhe. .

Looking at Fu Yunhe's stiff back, Han Qixia, who knew what he was worried about, sighed in her heart, but she didn't want to ruin Nangong Yue's mood. She said with a smile: "Yue'er, Brother Yu is so smart, he has climbed so well. ."

She also sat down on the carpet and looked at the little guy, and the little guy was also looking at her, with eyes that seemed to ask, who are you?

Of course Xiao Yu has met Han Qixia before, but children are forgetful, and they have completely forgotten about Han Qixia after not seeing her for a few days.

Nangong Yue looked at Han Qixia and said with a smile: "Brother Yu is the eldest brother, of course he has to work harder, so that he can take care of his cousins ​​and take them to play together." She said meaningfully.

Han Qixia understood immediately, her pretty face was stained with flying clouds, and said: "Yue'er, you already know?"

She and Fu Yunhe's wedding date has been set, it will be at the end of this year.

Occasionally, Han Qixia still has an unreal feeling, and is afraid that it is all a dream.

When she gave up her identity as the legitimate daughter of King Qi, she never thought that she would still be here today!

Thinking about the current situation of the third princess, Han Qixia couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.

God has treated her well. Although he did not give her a good parents, he gave her a good brother and sister-in-law, cousin He, Yue'er, and everything she has now!

She will be fine, she will have her own home and her own baby just like Yue'er!

Thinking about it, Han Qixia's cheeks turned even redder, as delicate as the blooming red peonies.

She took out a colorful ball woven from various colored satins from her arms, about the size of a fist, and shook it at the little guy, "Brother Yu, this is a gift from your cousin, do you like it?" ?"

Little Xiao Yu couldn't understand what Han Qixia was saying at all, but his attention was suddenly attracted by the colorful ball, and he threw himself into Han Qixia's arms with a "beep" sound.

Nangong Yue looked at it with a smile and thought to herself: This child is so easy to coax, no wonder his father said he would be kidnapped sooner or later!

The two teased the little guy for a while. He finally got tired and opened his mouth and yawned. Lily hurried over to the side, hugged him and patted his back a few times, and the fat little guy fell into sleep.

At this time, Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe came back together. Fu Yunhe looked at the sleeping Xiao Yu and complained with a smile: "Brother Yu, why did you fall asleep? Why did you fall asleep before uncle played with you? What?"

He was worried just now, but now he is suddenly enlightened and feels light all over, as if he has lost a big burden.

Nangong Yue and Han Qixia both saw it, exchanged glances quickly, and also smiled.

The crisp laughter echoed in the yard, a breeze blew by, and the swaying sounds of the branches and leaves seemed to be playing for them.

Half an hour later, Fu Yunhe and Han Qixia said goodbye.

The little guy was also carried to bed by Lily.

Only Nangong Yue and Xiao Yi were left in the courtyard, and the other servants had been sent away.

Nangong Yue sat on the Persian carpet, leaning against the big tree, while Xiao Yi rested his head on Nangong Yue's thigh, feeling more comfortable than anything else. Finally there was no one else waiting, it was just the two of them!

Looking at the shade of the tree above, Xiao Yi complained with a smile: "Ah Yue, that guy Ah He is stupid and has a lot of alcohol. He drank the whole green plum wine you rarely made for me. Altar!"

He exuded a strong smell of green plum wine, and he had obviously drank a lot just now.

Nangong Yue glanced at him with a smile and said, "The lotus is about to bloom. How about I make you lotus wine?"

Xiao Yi happily agreed, grabbed Nangong Yue's bare hand and kissed her soft palm. He knew that in A Yue's heart, he was still ranked first, and the brat would be second at most!

Xiao Yi was satisfied and casually told Nangong Yue about Fu Yunhe's purpose today.

Ever since Chen Rentai came to proclaim the imperial edict and was captured by the Xuanjia Army on March 26, Fu Yunhe has been worried for more than two months.

Fu Yunhe sincerely likes Southern Xinjiang and is loyal to Xiao Yi, but on the other hand, his identity and bloodline cannot be changed. He is the cousin of the current Emperor Dayu, and the Han family's blood also flows in his body. Bloodline... If Xiao Yi really has to face the emperor in the future, then his identity will become a bit subtle.

During this period, he often heard that Yu Xiufan and the others were indignantly attacking the emperor. They kept saying that they would follow Xiao Yi, through fire and water, without hesitation, but this only made Fu Yunhe more entangled.

However, the eldest brother Xiao Yi did not guard against him at all. After converting the Divine Arm Camp into an army, he directly promoted his military rank and let him lead an army alone. He suddenly had 10,000 soldiers under his command.

Obviously, the eldest brother had complete trust in him without any doubts, but it only made him feel more ashamed for what the emperor's cousin had done...

After struggling for more than two months, Fu Yunhe finally decided to make this trip...
