After that, the chaos in Dayu’s court began to calm down again!
All civil and military officials were worried about the Southern Xinjiang Army’s sneak attack on Xiye. They argued endlessly in the morning for several days, and the emperor was still undecided.
In the morning of this day, Prince Gongjun Han Lingfu stood up resolutely and made two impassioned suggestions to the emperor:
First, Dayu once again sent a peace agreement to Xiye;
Second, in order to show Dayu’s sincerity in negotiating peace, please ask the emperor to order the seizure of the vassal, take back the military power of Zhennan Palace, and send troops to southern Xinjiang!
After Han Lingfu finished speaking, the whole court was silent. The officials lined up in two rows in the Jinluan Palace either looked at Han Lingfu or the emperor, waiting for the emperor’s decision.
Han Lingfu clasped his hands and stood tall, his eyes flashing. He was very sure of his proposal.
Southern Xinjiang has experienced wars for several years, and the treasury has been empty, and the soldiers and people are poor. However, Zhennan Prince and his son are militaristic and short-sighted, and they overestimate their capabilities and allocate most of the troops of the Southern Xinjiang Army to the expedition to Xiye. !
The Southern Xinjiang army has marched thousands of miles away and is exhausted. How can they fight against the tiger and wolf troops in the west night? !
Thinking about it, Han Lingfu’s lips curved into a mocking and disdainful smile.
In addition, deducting the 10,000 reinforcements sent by the Southern Xinjiang Army to Western Xinjiang, it is conceivable that there must be only a few defenders remaining in Southern Xinjiang. As long as his father agrees and gives him tens of thousands of troops to march south, he will surely be able to successfully capture southern Xinjiang.
The King of Zhennan is the only vassal king in Dayu. His father has long wanted to withdraw from the vassal. As long as he can successfully get rid of the Prince of Zhennan this time, he will have military exploits. Not only the eldest brother, but also the second emperor. The elder brother and the fifth emperor brother will never be able to stand up again, and they can even shock everyone in the court. Only after he ascends the throne in the future can he firmly sit on the supreme position and stabilize the great wealth!
Han Lingfu was in high spirits. The scene when he replaced his father and sat on the throne of the Golden Palace had already appeared in his mind. His blood was boiling and he could only barely suppress the excitement in his heart.
However, the emperor on the throne was hesitant. Now that the Feixia Mountain area is occupied by Xiye’s 100,000-strong army, no one knows when Xiye’s army will continue its eastern expedition.
Of course he wanted to have peace talks with Xiye, but he was also worried that once Dayu detached part of his troops to march south, Xiye would suddenly regret and refuse peace talks, and take advantage of the emptiness in Dayu’s rear to immediately send his troops straight into the Central Plains… then. Southern Xinjiang and Western Xinjiang are thousands of miles apart, and water from afar cannot quench the thirst of those nearby. Where can he deploy his troops to stop Xiye and protect the royal capital? !
The emperor was filled with worries and remained silent for a long time, which made the atmosphere in the Golden Palace even more solemn…
The rising sun is rising higher and higher outside, and the weather in the first month of the year is still bitterly cold. After the morning meeting, Prince Jingjun’s palace immediately welcomed a guest who was in a hurry.
“See you, Your Majesty.” Nangong Xin entered Han Lingfan’s study room under the guidance of the young chamberlain and saluted respectfully.
Han Lingfan motioned Nangong Xin to sit down, and then said with a complex expression: “Axin, this morning, my father has made a decision…”
The air in the study became cold.
“…” Nangong Xin also knew what Han Lingfan was going to say. The hand that was originally holding the tea cup subconsciously exerted a slight force before picking up the tea cup and putting it back.
“My father decided to seize the position of the vassal king of Zhennan Palace to show his goodwill to Xiye. Ah Xin, I can’t do anything now…” Afterwards, Han Lingfan’s voice became louder and louder. It’s hard, I don’t know if it’s disappointment or shame…
“You’d better send someone to report the news to Southern Xinjiang as soon as possible so that the Zhennan Palace can be prepared…” Han Lingfan clenched his fists and cast his deep gaze across Nangong Xin on the dead trees in the courtyard outside the window. Like ink.
Nangong Xin’s expression became more complicated. She lowered her head and stared at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup. After a while, she raised her eyes and looked at Han Lingfan again.
Nangong Xin’s eyes flashed, but she asked: “My lord, do you really think Dayu can do anything to conquer Southern Xinjiang?”
What Axin meant was… Han Lingfan’s eyes widened slightly and he pursed his lips in silence.
The room was quiet for a moment, and a gust of cold wind blew through the window. The sound of swaying branches and leaves made the atmosphere in the study a little desolate.
“Your Majesty, based on my understanding of my sister-in-law Ayi, he is not a person who overestimates his capabilities,” Nangong Xin speculated and analyzed bit by bit, “Since the Southern Xinjiang Army can quell the rebellions of Baiyue and Nanliang, After that, there was still enough strength left to send troops to attack Xiye, so no matter how Xiye’s envoys boasted about Xiye in front of the emperor, just from the fact that King Xiye did not hesitate to send envoys to the capital to complain, we can know that now in Xiye On the battlefield, I am afraid that the Southern Xinjiang Army has the upper hand!” Nangong Xin analyzed rationally, and his soft side face revealed a hint of perseverance and vigor at this time.
Hearing this, Han Lingfan was inevitably surprised, but he could not be as optimistic about the situation in Southern Xinjiang as Nangong Xin was. He hurriedly reminded: “Axin, the Southern Xinjiang army only has 200,000 troops. After the battle between Baiyue and Nanliang, the strength of the troops was probably greatly reduced. Now, in addition to Xiye, Southern Xinjiang also sent 10,000 elite troops to Western Xinjiang…”
As Han Lingfan said, he suddenly thought of something and fell silent again.
He thought about the war situation in Western Xinjiang, and thought that over the years, Southern Xinjiang has defeated Baiyue and Nanliang successively. Although the strength of the troops must have been reduced, it has also turned the Southern Xinjiang army into a battle-hardened force. Division, an invincible elite division!
As the heir apparent and the commander-in-chief, Xiao Yi is experienced in many battles. If he was completely unsure, how could Xiao Yi personally lead his troops to attack Xiye rashly? !
Han Lingfan’s mind was racing, and gradually his expression became complicated and tangled.
After a while, Han Lingfan let out a deep sigh, his eyes became darker, and he said thoughtfully: “The Prince of Zhennan has been loyal to Dayu since the death of the old prince. Nan Although the Xinjiang Army was able to allocate its forces to the west to conquer Xiye, it never showed any intention of the Northern Expedition. It has been in peace for many years. Obviously, the Zhennan Palace has no intention of turning back!”
The more Han Lingfan spoke, the more cryptic his voice became, and his brows were furrowed. What he was worried about now was how the Zhennan Palace would react once his father cut off the vassal and marched southward.
Since Southern Xinjiang has the strength, if Dayu wants to cut down the vassal, Zhennan Palace will not be able to do it without mercy. Next…
Dayu is afraid that a civil war will shake Dayu’s country…
Once the war breaks out, only the people of Dawn will suffer!
Thinking about it, a deep sadness appeared in Han Lingfan’s eyes, almost overflowing.
After a moment, Han Lingfan took a deep breath and advised seriously: “Axin, I think you’d better leave the capital as soon as possible!” Han Lingfan calls himself “I” instead of “my king”, which means that he is I am suggesting Nangong Xin as a friend.
Hearing this, Nangong Xin was surprised, and a warm current surged through her heart. To Nangong Xin, Han Lingfan was not only the fifth prince or the king of the county, but also one of his best friends!
Although Han Lingfan had some words that he did not say just now, judging from the changes in his expression, Nangong Xin could also see that Han Lingfan already knew that Dayu would probably officially start a war with Southern Xinjiang next!
But even so, Han Lingfan’s first reaction was to leave the capital to avoid trouble.
Nangong Xin looked at the elegant and sincere young man in front of him without blinking, with various emotions tangled up in his heart. He admired Han Lingfan’s character, but also felt unwilling and indignant for him.
Among the adult princes, Han Lingfan is obviously kind-hearted, broad-minded, diligent and studious… but he cannot be recognized by the emperor!
Nangong Xin calmed down and said with a wry smile: “Your Majesty, the Emperor will not let me go. Originally, the Emperor’s keeping me in the capital was a kind of restraint…” Otherwise, he would have been evacuated as early as After becoming the prince’s companion and having no fame, it was time to leave the royal capital and go to Jiangnan to reunite with his parents and family.
Han Lingfan was speechless. As he was thinking, his expression became darker and his heart was heavy. However, he heard Nangong Xin say meaningfully: “Your Majesty, I actually think that the Emperor’s withdrawal from the vassal and the Southern Expedition are not good for you. Say, maybe it’s not a bad thing.”
Facing Han Lingfan’s confused eyes, Nangong Xin continued unhurriedly: “My lord, have you ever thought about showing your kindness to the Zhennan Palace? As the lord just said, send someone to notify the Zhennan Palace as soon as possible. Regarding the emperor’s intention to seize the vassal domain…”
Nangong Xin stopped and looked at Han Lingfan deeply.
He still has half of what he said. He can be sure that Zhennan Palace will not lose this battle. By then, with A Yi’s temper and clear grudges, he should be able to accept Han Lingfan’s affection. If he could get support from the Zhennan Palace, he believed that Han Lingfan would be able to overcome this current difficulty!
Show favor to Zhennan Palace? ! Han Lingfan’s pupils shrank and he looked at Nangong Xin thoughtfully, unable to hide his surprise.
He is a smart man who knows everything at once.
The implication of Nangong Xin’s words is clearly that the Southern Xinjiang Army will win this battle? ! Based on his understanding of Nangong Xin, Ah Xin is definitely not someone who talks nonsense!
If the Southern Xinjiang Army really wins, will the Zhennan Palace continue to move north because of this?
Han Lingfan’s lips moved. The more he thought about it, the more frightened and confused he became.
He told himself that he must not let the situation reach that point!
But he also knew in his heart that he was too weak now. If he wanted to make a difference, he had to “fight”.
Although he himself does not care about the position of the crown prince, after these days, he has clearly seen many things about the world that he had never thought about before. The battle for the crown prince is not just about him personally. Now that he has lost power, the empress, the Duke of Enguo, his companions, and the princes are all having a difficult time. If he cannot reverse the situation, then there may be more. Oops…
Thinking about it, Han Lingfan’s face was as dark as water and his whole body was a little stiff.
He doesn’t want the people around him to live like this all their lives. In fact, once the Third Emperor Brother succeeds to the throne in the future, he may not be able to tolerate him.
This is the cruel reality!
After being suppressed by the emperor, Han Lingfan began to seriously consider seizing the throne for the first time.
After a while, Han Lingfan finally opened his lips and said, “Axin, thank you. I’ll think about it again…”
Han Lingfan’s words made Nangong Xin breathe a sigh of relief. If Han Lingfan himself had planned to give up his position as the crown prince, then no matter how much others did, it would be useless. Only Han Lingfan was determined to change the status quo, then They have something to do.
After the two young men talked secretly in the study for nearly an hour, Nangong Xin just left.
As soon as he left, Han Lingfan got another news. The eldest princess Yongyang hurried to the palace after the morning court today and wanted to see the emperor, but was refused by the emperor outside the imperial study. After that, Yongyang Then he left the palace and returned to the princess’s mansion. He closed the palace on his own and thanked guests behind closed doors.
Han Lingfan stayed alone in the study for a long time. After that, he quietly went to the Enguo Palace and did not come out until the curfew…
The stars and moon in the sky quietly look down at the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of the world, disappearing in the blink of an eye overnight.
At the morning meeting the next day, the emperor formally issued the decree to reduce the vassal state, and ordered the dispatch of Hussar General Li Duzhong with 10,000 troops to southern Xinjiang to issue the decree. The deterrent effect is self-evident.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves. After the early court, this matter quickly spread throughout the palaces in the royal capital. All civil and military officials and clan nobles were secretly talking about the emperor’s plan to reduce the vassal. As for Han Lingfu’s actions The proponents of reducing vassal vassals were even more popular.
More and more courtiers began to lean towards Han Lingfu. For example, Li Duzhong quietly came to Prince Gongjun’s mansion after the morning court.
Han Lingfu energetically told Li Duzhong that he must complete his errands well during his trip to southern Xinjiang, and hinted in his words that he would definitely use him again in the future when the other party returned in triumph.
After Li Duzhong expressed his loyalty to Han Lingfu with understanding, he wisely withdrew.
Han Lingfu was the only one left in the outer study room.
Han Lingfu curled her lips and smiled, her heart racing, her dark eyes shining with ambition.
He seemed to have seen before his eyes the scene when the people in the Zhennan Palace were reduced to prisoners and brought to the capital to be judged and punished, while he was receiving the award from his father in the court and being established as the crown prince…
This new year is really a good start!
Han Lingfu proudly held up the tea cup and used the tea lid to remove the tea leaves floating on the tea soup… At this moment, Xiao Lizi walked in in a hurry, with a look of panic on his fair and delicate face. Panting.
“My lord, it’s not good!” Xiao Lizi said with sweating profusely after saluting, “I just received the news from southern Xinjiang that the concubine in the dress…she is dead!” Li Zi was Han Lingfu’s confidant, so he naturally knew why Bai Yi left the royal capital to go to southern Xinjiang in person, and he felt anxious and uneasy.
Hearing this, Han Lingfu was shocked, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and his whole body became cold.
It has been several months since Zhui Yi left the capital, but there has been no news… Han Lingfu became more and more worried, so he had to send people to southern Xinjiang to inquire about the situation. Unexpectedly, such news came back.
How could I die? !
For Han Lingfu, it doesn’t matter whether Bai Yi is dead or alive. The question is, what should he do with his Wuhe anointing? !
The Wuhe anointing in his hand is running out!
Thinking about the feeling of life being worse than death when the addiction to Wuhe Cream attacks, Han Lingfu’s handsome face was ashen, as if he were mourning for a heir, and his hands even trembled slightly.
Han Lingfu took a deep breath and calmed down a lot. He asked a series of questions like a barrage of questions: “What happened? How did Zhang Yi die? Was it the Zhennan Palace that did it?!” , Han Lingfu’s eyes were cold and sharp, shooting out like two cold arrows.
Xiao Lizi tensed up when Han Lingfu looked at her. She bowed her head slightly and replied respectfully: “Your Majesty, the news that came only said that after the concubine Zhang Yi was killed, her body was stabbed with three daggers. In an alley in Luoyue City…”
With just such a few words, Xiao Lizi felt that Zhang Yi’s death was a bit strange and bloody.
Han Lingfu’s face turned cold, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he said intuitively: “Zhennan Palace, it must be the fault of Zhennan Palace!”
Zhennan Palace has always been at odds with Baiyue. Baiyue is a saint of Baiyue. Zhennan Palace has always been quick to get rid of her. It must have been that Zhang Yi accidentally exposed her whereabouts, so Zhennan Palace’s So people secretly killed her.
Zhennan Palace is so brave! He knew clearly that Zhang Yi was his concubine, and yet he dared to kill him. It was clear that he did not take him seriously, Prince Gong!
He will never let them go!
Thinking about it, a sinister light flashed in Han Lingfu’s pupils, and he gritted his teeth and swore secretly.
His father has made a decree, and Li Duzhong is about to leave for southern Xinjiang. This time, the Zhennan Palace is destined to be doomed. For him, the most troublesome problem now is Wuhe anointing!
Wuhe paste…
The taste of Wuhe ointment not only made Han Lingfu intoxicated and attached to it, but also made him fearful.
He must get enough Wuhe ointment to feel at ease!
Han Lingfan said to himself in his heart while standing up irritably. He pushed Xiao Lizi away impatiently and strode out of the outer study room.
Xiao Lizi took a staggering step and hurriedly followed him. He looked at Han Lingfu with a complicated look in his eyes and sighed secretly in his heart.
I don’t know if it is his misunderstanding, but since last year, the prince’s temper has become more and more irritable, and it is easier and easier to lose control… Just like that day in Xinghui Courtyard…
Han Lingfu, who was walking in front, couldn’t see Xiao Lizi’s worried eyes and strode towards Xinghui Courtyard.
He is going to see Bai Muxiao.
On that day, he had just taken Wuhe ointment, and he was in a state of loftiness. When he was excited, his emotions were a little out of control, and he almost killed Bai Muxiao. Fortunately, he was killed at that time. The urgent military report from Western Xinjiang interrupted, making him calm down.
Bai Muxiao cannot die yet!
Although Zhui Yi agreed to provide him with Wuhe anointing, she was from a foreign race, not from my race, so her thoughts must be different… He had to use that evil species to contain Zhui Yi to ensure their cooperation.
As long as that scoundrel is still valuable, he must keep Bai Muxiao to “watch” the scoundrel for him, so that Bai Muxiao and Bai Muxiao can restrain each other. In this way, Bai Muxiao must be cautious in his actions.
However, Han Lingfu didn’t expect that once Zhang Yi left, he would never come back!
Han Lingfu’s expression became even more complicated. In his thoughts, he had already arrived at Xinghui Courtyard.
Han Lingfu had already ordered his confidant Mammy to guard the Xinghui Courtyard. No one could enter except for him, not even the step-princess Chen.
Han Lingfu ignored the mothers and wives who saluted him and strode into the house.
Now the only maids serving in Bai Muchiao’s house are Bihen and Biluo. When the two maids saw Han Lingfu, they were as silent as a cicada.
As for Bai Muxiao, she was sitting on an armchair by the window reading a book. Her hair was disheveled and she was wearing a lake-colored face jacket. She had lost a lot of weight, which made her chin pointy and her little face even more attractive. .
She seemed to be immersed in the book, motionless, and naturally did not get up to salute Han Lingfu.
Han Lingfu didn’t care about these etiquettes and said straight to the point: “I just got the news that Zhang Yi died.”
Bai Muxiao finally reacted. He put down the book and looked at Han Lingfu in surprise. Then he gave a mocking and contemptuous smile and said: “This is probably ‘fate’. Your Majesty, please forgive me.” .”
She also knew about Chen Yi going south, and she also knew what Han Lingfu was worried about…
Is this really retribution? !
Han Lingfu naturally heard Bai Muxiao’s sarcasm, and secretly resented it in his heart. However, he did not want to show off his quick words, so he suppressed his anger and said: “Bai Muxiao, I am not here to have a verbal dispute with you. I ask you, where is the Wuhe paste?!” Han Lingfu asked through gritted teeth.
Bai Muxiao seemed to have heard some joke and laughed crazily, even tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
She wiped away her tears with her fingertips and said slowly: “My lord, please beg me! As long as I am satisfied, I will naturally give you Wuhe ointment!”
Han Lingfu’s pupils shrank sharply, and he was confused and confused. Bai Muxiao really still has Wuhe ointment in his hand? ! Or maybe the dressing left some message for her…
Thinking about it, Han Lingfu almost felt a little scared.
Fortunately, he did not lose control and killed Bai Muxiao that day, otherwise…
“Bai Muxiao, what do you want?!”
Han Lingfu’s voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth. Their eyes met in mid-air, sparks flying.
The room became quiet, as if an invisible force was gathering momentum…
At the same time, the emperor’s decree for the southern expedition was also spread in the royal capital. Within a day, even the ordinary people heard about it and they were talking enthusiastically.
Two days later, Li Duzhong left the royal capital with an imperial edict and an army of 10,000, heading for southern Xinjiang.
In the afternoon of that day, Han Lingfan and Nangong Xin went to Princess Yongyang’s mansion to ask for an audience with Yongyang.
————————Digression——————
A girl asked the emperor if he knew about Xiye being beaten down by A Yi. According to the timeline, he didn’t know. With ancient communication conditions, the emperor had just learned that Xiye had captured Feixia Mountain. Xiao Yi and Xiao Bai fought so fast that the emperor had no time to get the military report.
