"Bang!"

The sound of heavy slamming echoed in the imperial study room, and the air was filled with a choking smell of gunpowder, which was about to explode.

"Damn it!" the emperor said angrily in a deep voice, "The Prince of Zhennan is so ungrateful and audacious!"

The emperor lost his temper. Thanks to the persuasion of his ministers, he wanted to give Zhennan Palace a chance, but he didn't expect them to be so arrogant. Sure enough, if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. His worries for many years have come true. Well, the Prince of Zhennan has indeed been disobedient for a long time, and his tolerance over the years has only caused trouble!

On the other side of the imperial case, a middle-aged man wearing a brown gold-woven brocade robe was kneeling. His face was solemn and he bowed his head in silence. He was the Marquis of Pingyang who had just returned from southern Xinjiang.

Although he has left Southern Xinjiang and seems to be out of Xiao Yi's control, only he knows that he has boarded Xiao Yi's pirate ship, the arrow has been drawn, and he can never look back.

Pingyang Hou’s eyes flickered, he gritted his teeth, and could only say to himself in his heart, if a man is not punished for his own sake, he just wants to protect his own family, so that the Pingyang Hou Mansion can escape unscathed from this storm of inheritance. That’s all.

He has no choice but to do so!

"Your Majesty," Pingyang Hou seemed to be kneeling on the ground respectfully, confessing his guilt, "It's all the humble ministers who have failed in their affairs. Please punish me..."

The emperor took a deep breath. Although he was angry, he also knew that the Marquis of Pingyang only brought hundreds of troops to southern Xinjiang. If the Zhennan Palace was really rebellious, the Marquis of Pingyang could get another two hundred thousand. What to do with the southern Xinjiang army? !

The emperor casually comforted Pingyang Marquis and dismissed him. Then he ordered Eunuch Liu to urgently summon several cabinet ministers to the palace.

At this time, it was already evening, the sun was setting, and the palace gate had already been locked. However, the emperor had an order, and no one dared to disobey it. There was another commotion at the palace gate. It only lasted more than half an hour, led by Cheng Dongyang. Several cabinet ministers have already entered the palace in a hurry.

They all knew that the reason why the emperor summoned them to the palace this time must be to plot rebellion in Zhennan Palace.

Sure enough——

After all the ministers saluted, the furious emperor said: "The Prince of Zhennan has been disobedient for a long time. This battle must be fought. I am determined!"

Several cabinet ministers exchanged glances quickly below. Everyone knew that no one would be able to persuade the emperor this time. Both the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Punishment were secretly happy.

The words and deeds of the Zhennan Palace have slapped the emperor **** the face. If the emperor does not fight, it will be equivalent to agreeing with the seemingly "bloody and tearful" complaints of the Zhennan Palace. This Fighting is inevitable.

Several cabinet ministers all knelt down and said in unison: "The Holy One is wise!"

At this point, the Southern Expedition is almost certain.

Looking down at the elders below, the emperor's frown relaxed slightly.

After the adults stood up again, the first assistant Cheng Dongyang lowered his head a little and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is midsummer in July, which is the hottest time in Southern Xinjiang. The Southern Xinjiang army is used to it. The heat in southern Xinjiang is scorching, but the royal capital is in the north. It is not as scorching as the heat in southern Xinjiang. I am afraid that my officers and men of Dayu will not be able to withstand the scorching heat..."

The emperor's face turned gloomy, as if he was displeased.

Gu Mo, the Minister of Punishment, immediately raised an objection: "Sir Cheng, I think that what we should consider now is how to mobilize troops, food and grass from various places, rather than growing other people's ambitions!"

The Minister of Household Affairs said: "Your Majesty, the south of the Yangtze River has had great harvests in recent years. There must be food in reserve. We can mobilize grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River."

Li Henglian, the Minister of Civil Affairs, claimed that he proposed to mobilize troops from western and northern Xinjiang to march southward, and then some cabinet ministers suggested that troops could be recruited from the people.

The elders expressed their opinions and stayed for a full hour before leaving...

Early the next morning, several cabinet ministers who had barely slept for two hours had to drag their exhausted bodies into the palace again before dawn.

The officials seemed to vaguely know that today's morning meeting was unusual, the atmosphere was particularly solemn, and many people almost did not dare to take a breath.

After the emperor ascended to the throne, he couldn't wait to express his determination to "take back the southern border and rectify the country."

The whole court was in an uproar, and the courtiers all looked at each other, but no one said a word for a while.

At this time, a tall and slender figure walked out of the queue on the right, attracting the attention of all officials.

Most of the officials in the Manchu Dynasty were middle-aged and elderly men in their thirties and forties, but this man was only in his early twenties. He was young, handsome, and gentle. At first glance, he stood out from the crowd. He was Han Lingfu, Prince Gongjun.

"Father," Han Lingfu bowed and impassioned in the face of everyone's different gazes, "I am willing to share my father's worries and set out to conquer southern Xinjiang."

The emperor looked at Han Lingfu in surprise. He couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, but he was relieved afterwards. He felt that the third son was worthy of being the blood of their Han family, and they were somewhat bloody.

"Your Majesty, Prince Gong wants to share your worries for the Emperor. His filial piety is very touching..." Immediately, a middle-aged military general came out and said loudly, "But I will not think it is appropriate. Although Prince Gong is talented, He is brave and mighty, but he has never led an army into a battle." As he said that, he looked at Han Lingfu and persuaded him nicely, "My lord, it is easy to talk about war on paper, but it is a **** battle with real swords and real spears, and you will fight with your life!"

Just as the general finished speaking, another minister stepped forward and said in agreement: "Your Majesty, General Sun is absolutely right. There is a saying: 'A son of a thousand gold coins cannot sit down in the hall, and a son of a hundred gold coins cannot ride on the throne.' , The sword has no eyesight on the battlefield, so it is better for Prince Gong not to take risks with his own life. Furthermore, the Zhennan Prince and his son have experienced hundreds of battles, so they cannot be ignored. They must choose a good general who is brave and good at fighting..."

The minister was talking eloquently, and the implication was that Han Lingfu, the delicate dragon son, should not get involved blindly and compete with the ministers for credit, and suggested that the emperor should choose a soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles to lead the army. .

What the two adults said makes sense, and the emperor has some thoughts.

A gloom flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes. He knew that these two people were members of Han Lingguan, the second emperor's brother. Their purpose was self-evident, and naturally they wanted to fight for military power.

I won’t let them succeed easily!

Han Lingfu quickly winked at Li Heng, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Li Heng nodded slightly and followed closely...

The two parties fought for each other, and the morning court finally turned into a quarrel with each other, each with his own opinion. There was a lot of anger between the several people. After the fight, the emperor also felt a little headache.

Anyway, there is still a lot of preparation work required for the Southern Expedition, and the expedition cannot be completed in two or three days.

The emperor simply ended the topic for the time being by saying, "I love you, no need to say more, I have my own opinions." He only ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War to prepare for the war.

In recent years, there have always been wars in Dayu, and neither food nor military strength is sufficient. However, the emperor has decided to fight, and who dares to disobey the emperor again? Several adults in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War are very worried, and for the leaders The choice of soldiers is the focus of attention from the whole court. It is obvious that both Han Lingguan, the king of Shunjun, and Han Lingfu, the king of Gongjun, are determined to win this position!

Next, we have to see where the emperor’s Sacred Heart is...

After the morning court that day, the worried Duke Enguo did not leave the palace, but rushed to the study to meet the fifth prince Han Lingfan.

The grandfather and grandson were locked in the upper study room. Duke Enguo told Han Lingfan what had happened in the morning, and then said solemnly: "Your Highness, the fifth prince, the matter is over. Since we are unable to stop the war, we might as well go with the flow and fight for military power."

"Grandpa, what do you mean..." Han Lingfan looked at Duke En Guo solemnly.

Gong En Guo continued: "You should not avoid relatives in internal promotions. In my opinion, Your Highness might as well recommend Han Huaijun from the Qi Palace. Huaijun has the experience of fighting in Changdi, and he has won the emperor's heart... I have 90% chance of recommending him." Everything can come true if you are sure." Han Huaijun's surname is Han, and he is the uncle of the Duke of Enguo. If he can seize the military power, it will be of great benefit to the fifth prince without any harm.

Han Lingfan didn't speak for a while, his lips pressed into a straight line and his eyes were lowered, as if in deep thought.

After a long time, he said seriously: "Grandfather, based on my understanding of cousin Jun, he will not be willing to lead the army... and I do not want to fight for this military power."

Han Lingfan looked directly at Duke Enguo without blinking, and said righteously: "Grandpa, if Dayu's enemy today is Changdi, Xiye, or Baiyue, I will try my best to , are willing to fight for the country, and they will not hesitate to die on the battlefield! However, the Zhennan Palace is not a foreign enemy. The Zhennan Palace has protected the peace of Dayu for decades. I cannot go against my heart in order to fight for power and gain. A gentleman has something to do. And if you don’t do anything, I believe that Cousin Jun will definitely not do anything!”

His dark eyes were clear and firm, and he had obviously thought deeply and would not be easily shaken.

Duke En Guo looked at Han Lingfan, his lips moved, but in the end he said nothing, but he sighed quietly in his heart: His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has a pure nature and an upright mind. He is a gentleman. He has studied with several great Confucian scholars over the years. He was taught to be too upright. If there is peace and prosperity, His Highness will definitely be a wise king.

But now, the emperor is becoming more and more confused day by day, and the brothers of His Highness the Fifth Prince are all ruthless and ruthless, staring at the throne like jackals smelling blood. With His Highness's simple mind, if this continues, it will only make people miserable. He is getting further and further away from that supreme position...

With the methods of several county princes, even if they ascend to Dabao, will they easily let go of those who oppose them?

I am afraid there will be a **** storm in Dayu next...

Thinking about it, Duke Enguo’s hands clenched tightly into fists in his sleeves. Duke Enguo’s mansion has long been tied to the fifth prince, so where should we go...

Han Lingfan thought that Duke En Guo had been persuaded by him, and after pondering for a moment, he added: "Grandpa, at this point, the only thing I can do is ask you to contact Aunt Yongyang as soon as possible and let her return to the capital as soon as possible... …”

My father has made up his mind to march south. If there is anyone in the court who can change my father's mind, it is probably Aunt Yongyang. The fifth prince thought.

Gong Enguo felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He took a deep breath and finally said: "Yes, Your Highness."

In the study room, it became quiet. Both the fifth prince and Duke Enguo felt a heavy weight on their shoulders, worried about Dayu's future.

The fifth prince has made a decision, but the court has not yet come up with a solution. Each government is planning for their own interests.

For several days in a row, the morning court was shrouded in a storm. The officials were all excited about the Southern Expedition, boiling like a pot of hot water, and the situation became more and more intense.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs were busy describing their respective progress and difficulties, while the Shunjun Wangdang and Gongjun Wangdang were fighting over military power, and even began to attack each other's shortcomings, showing their ugly appearance.

Looking down at the officials below, the emperor rubbed his eyebrows. His face became increasingly ugly, and veins appeared on his forehead. Just when the word "shut up" came to the emperor's lips, there was a sudden commotion outside the Jinluan Palace...

A veteran soldier was running towards this side, panting and obviously shouting something.

The officials in the Jinluan Palace also saw the movement outside and looked at each other. When the soldier came closer, he could vaguely hear him shouting: "Military report! Three thousand miles urgent, emergency military Report!"

There was a sudden silence in the Jinluan Palace, and an ominous premonition arose in the hearts of all the ministers.

Soon, the soldier hurried to the palace, knelt down on one knee on the marble floor with a "plop" sound, took a deep breath, cupped his fists and reported: "Your Majesty, urgent military report, the army invaded the west night , has broken through Hengshan Pass, entered Bingzhou, and defeated three cities in a row. Our army has retreated to Shangdang County. The military situation is in crisis, and General Li has sent his last general to ask for help!"

Every word made everyone in the court turn pale with shock, looking at each other and whispering to each other.

Western Xinjiang has only been at peace for a few years, and war has started again!

Moreover, the war in southern Xinjiang has not yet chosen a general to lead the army. This military report suddenly puts Dayu in a situation of external and internal troubles. Dayu can support two battles at the same time that are enough to shake Dayu's country. ?

The faces of the courtiers varied, and many of them had already felt that this military report from Western Xinjiang might bring unexpected changes to the court, and the direction of the court was about to change again.

Among the ministers, only Marquis Pingyang showed no signs of surprise. He stood quietly aside with a half-downcast face, half-darkness on his square face, and hidden turmoil in his deep eyes.

It’s finally here!

This is the moment Xiao Yi has been waiting for!

Looking at the bewildered expressions of the civil and military officials in the court, Marquis Pingyang had a feeling that "everyone is drunk and I am sober", with a sigh of almost pity in his heart.

Except for him, no one among the officials in the court knew that everything was controlled by someone thousands of miles away...

The sky in the west began to accumulate layers of clouds, but the sky in the south was still bright and sunny.

Countless birds flap their wings and chase the sun, flying farther and farther, higher and higher...

As a gray pigeon flew into Bixiaotang, the rebellion of Xirong also spread to southern Xinjiang.

Compared with the approaching storm in the royal capital, Luoyue City is still leisurely and comfortable, and the whole city is enjoying the lazy summer time.

At this time, the sky was dim, and the cool summer breeze at dusk gently blew the surface of the lake in the small garden and the dense lotus leaves on the lake.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the pavilion by the lake and roughly pried off a green lotus pod from the lotus leaves.

A few white lotus seeds were peeled out from the lotus pod, and two more were thrown out. One fell into someone's mouth, and the other was caught by another person. He said with a smile: "Little Fourth, you are really unsentimental. We are here to appreciate lotus flowers, not to pick lotus pods."

As Xiao Yi said this, he threw the lotus seeds he received into his mouth rudely.

"Click, click..."

The fresh lotus seeds are sweet and refreshing between the lips and teeth, refreshing and refreshing, making you feel relaxed and happy.

"Xiao Bai, these lotus seeds are crisp, fresh and sweet. They are very good. Xiao Si, give your young master a try as well!" Xiao Yi said as he broke off a lotus pod.

Xiao Si glared at Xiao Yi with disdain, was too lazy to pay attention to him, and concentrated on digging lotus seeds for his young master.

Xiao Yi stared at the lotus pods and suddenly changed the topic: "Xiao Bai, Xiye has solved my urgent need this time. Do you think I should send a basket of lotus seeds to the new king of Xiye to express my feelings?"

Xiao Yi smiled as brightly as the midsummer sun, but there was no concealed sarcasm in his tone.

Although Guan Yubai had long predicted that Xiye would invade the country again within a few years, it was impossible to predict the date accurately until Marquis Pingyang told them that Xiye was ready to attack at the end of February. Taiyu should be attacked within half a year, so they were able to follow the trend...to get to where they are today!

Guan Yubai looked at the green lotus leaves and fragrant lotus flowers in front of him with a smile, and said lightly: "Next, there will be a battle in the Western Night, and our emperor will definitely want to appease Southern Xinjiang..."

Xiao Yi never had any intention of the Northern Expedition, nor did he want to be an enemy of Dayu.

It’s just that no matter who sits on the supreme position, the existence of Zhennan Palace will become a thorn in his side. Therefore, Xiao Yi can only integrate the Southern Territory and secretly develop his power. When the Southern Territory is truly stabilized, Zhennan Only then can the Royal Palace and the Southern Xinjiang Army be in an invincible position where "advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended", and they no longer have to work step by step under the emperor's nose, with their tail between their legs.

This plan suddenly changed at the end of February...

Xiao Yi received a letter from the royal capital and learned that the emperor actually wanted Nangong Yue and Xiao Yu to go to the royal capital as hostages. This completely angered Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi has never been a person willing to be forbearing. After discussing with Guan Yubai, the two decided to take advantage of the "opportunity" given by the emperor based on the information revealed by Pingyang Marquis about Xiye's upcoming attack. At the double full moon banquet, he directly provoked the emperor with the anti-edict, prompting the emperor to take action against Southern Xinjiang. Only in this way can all the governments in Southern Xinjiang witness this scene with their own eyes, and let everyone in Southern Xinjiang know that this matter was caused by the emperor's unkindness. Only in this way can he provoke the emperor. The dissatisfaction and anger of the people of Southern Xinjiang against the emperor made thousands of soldiers and people of Southern Xinjiang unite.

Since the emperor was unkind in the first place, no matter what the Zhennan Palace does next, it will only be heart-warming and a "last resort". From now on, Southern Xinjiang will no longer have to be controlled by the emperor...

Sure enough, every step went as Guan Yubai expected.

Now that Xirong invades the border, the emperor will be unable to conquer Southern Xinjiang. In this case, he must appease Southern Xinjiang!

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms across his chest, and sighed: "But, everyone knows that I, Xiao Yi, am unruly and unruly, and I have a true temper! Even if others want to appease me, they still have to see if I agree or not. , Do you accept it or not?"

When Xiao Si heard this, he almost slipped his hand and dropped the lotus pod in his hand into the lake. He cursed: What a "true temperament", bragging! Still so shameless!

Of course Xiao Yi could see what Xiao Si was thinking, and said with a smile: "We must let the world know that I, Xiao Yi, am not someone I can offend casually!"

Whoever dares to set his sights on his wife and children, he will make it impossible for him to live in peace!

Xiao Yi's eyes flashed with a beast-like sharpness, and no one would take his words as a joke!

Guan Yubai smiled faintly, and the smile on his lips became even stronger. What he admired most was A Yi’s wantonness...

Guan Yu's white eyes flashed, and he added: "Our emperor is probably worried about who to blame..." He took the lotus seeds handed over by Xiaosi and played with them in his palm. Although the lotus seeds are sweet, they are not so sweet. The lotus heart is bitter and unbearable...

Since the emperor has issued an explicit edict to denounce the Zhennan Palace for several major crimes, now he wants to appease Southern Xinjiang and cannot beat himself up, so he must find someone to blame... After all, how can the emperor "make" mistakes!

What the hell! Xiao Yi shrugged indifferently and said: "This time, we will fight for at least one or two years for Southern Xinjiang. This deal is worth it!"

The emperor is very particular about "one word and nine tripods". Once he makes a "golden statement" and announces it to the world, the Zhennan Palace will have no fault. Although that is not a final conclusion, it cannot be overturned casually every few days. Then for at least the next one or two years, southern Xinjiang will be as safe as a rock.

As for one or two years later... General Dayu will no longer be able to do anything to Zhennan Palace!

The summer wind blows in the evening, making the lotus leaves sway and rustle, and the fragrance of lotus comes to your nose.

Xiao Yi looked at the sky and said, "Xiao Bai, the night breeze is cool, let's go back." After a pause, he thought of something again and reminded, "Xiao Bai, don't forget that we are going to Dan Lake tomorrow. Go boating and enjoy the lotuses, you can go to bed early at night."

He blinked his right eye, which clearly meant that if Guan Yubai dared not to show up, he would come to invite people in person.
