Ling Xiang pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you know how many troops are there that will come to defend Kyoto?"

Cai Lan thought about it carefully: "It's hard to say, and my brother can't know it, I only know that my nine major capitals of Da Yin are all lords of the prince, except for Beimo, Outside the Xiting Metropolitan Protectorate, there are still Hebei Province Dongping Metropolitan Protectorate, which was originally led by Wei Wang Yao, Guannei Province Yanran Metropolitan Protectorate was led by Xiang Wang Yao, Lingnan Province Dingnan Metropolitan Protectorate was led by Zeng Wang Yao, Jiannan Province Baoning Metropolitan Protectorate was led by Zhao Wangyao, Tubo Xuanwei Division Pingliang and Luo Some Metropolitan Protectorate were led by King Zheng and King Zhong, Hanhai Metropolitan Protectorate was led by King Lu Yao, and most of the Protector was originally a hussar general Lu Nengkui, the boundary was far away, and the elder brother said that although his son was the deputy protector after his death, the generals were all cronies and were not very controlled by the imperial court...... The small and medium-sized protectorates of the rest of the provinces are under the rule of these metropolitan protectorates, and they must listen to the metropolitan protectorates. ”

Ling Xiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's hard for you to remember clearly our Nine Great Yin Dynasty Protectors and Lords, in the end, it's the royal daughter." ”

Cai Zhi saw that her cousin-in-law looked relaxed, and her tears were all gone, and she complained with a red nose: "My sister-in-law still has the heart to ridicule us! Who doesn't know that Uncle Zhuang Wang is the current meritorious hero of His Majesty's support, but Sai Weng lost his horse, and the fortune and misfortune are unpredictable, how long can he keep a prince rich and noble? According to his brother's analysis, among the nine major capital protectors, King Zhao and King Jin control Beibao, Xiting, Baoning, The four Hanhai, that is, Yan Ran in the Guannei is also sent by the pro-Zhao king, and the two major protectorates of Tubo will not be involved in disputes, so calculated, the only troops that His Majesty can mobilize today are the Imperial Forest Army and the Dongping and Dingnan Protectorates, that is, the guards and coastal defense forces of the coastal provinces are counted, and it seems that it is not enough to compete. ”

Ling Jiao knew that what she said was the truth, the Central Plains had been stable for a long time, and the strength of each protectorate was compared with the nominal two major protectors of the Western Expeditionary Army, which was simply incomparable, not to mention that even the protectorate in his hands was not as good as others!

Emperor Chunxi originally relied on the 200,000 forbidden army and the protection of Dongping, and of course it was not a problem to control the capital, but against the army of the Western Expedition, it was hanging. However, she has always been optimistic and open-minded, and brought tea and Cai Zhi: "Don't cry, didn't the rebels just enter Tongguan? ”

Cai Zhi was about to ask what the best plan was, but Cai Lan sighed faintly: "If Your Majesty is defeated, we will go back to Tongling, and we will just die together as a family......

"Sister......" Cai Zhi's face changed instantly when she heard this, she was young, and she always thought that she would be fine in the end when she went home to hide from the two factions, Cai Lan said it so bluntly that she couldn't even cry.

Ling Xuan glanced at Cai Lan and said angrily, "Look at you! ”

Cai Lan smiled bitterly, patting Cai Zhi's hand and not knowing how to comfort her.

Ling Xiang frowned: "Actually, it may not be like what my sister said, isn't the things that your Uncle Lu has experienced as good as King Zhuang? He can't get out of the capital, and he still puts on a posture of protecting himself, and he must also have a connection with King Zhao in private." Zhuge Liang and Zhuge Jin in the Three Kingdoms are loyal to different masters, and the two brothers are both reused, when Zhuge Jin takes back Jingzhou, doesn't he still let Guan Yu go in the face of Zhuge Liang?

Sister Cai Lan couldn't help but perk up when she heard this, Cai Zhi grabbed Ling Xiang's hand like a life-saving straw, shook her and asked, "Little sister-in-law, can we leave the capital and go back to persuade my father to secretly vote for King Jin, so it's okay?"

Ling Makeup couldn't answer her at all, in fact, in the end, it all depended on the mood of the winner, maybe Yun Danfeng pardoned the limited sect lightly, maybe he started a big killing, who could tell?

However, the risk of the family scattering bets and betting is indeed smaller, so they only said: "It's not that the eyebrows are burning now, doesn't it mean that the King of Jin only brought 100,000 troops into Tongguan? We have 200,000 forbidden troops, and the Dongping Protectorate is close to the provinces in the Guannei, so it is easy to transfer troops, but it is not so easy to enter the customs with a million troops from the west? ”

Glancing at the purse tied on the skirt, which contained a jade Xiaoding, he suddenly thought of Rong Yuqi.

King Lu has been in the court for a lifetime, it is impossible to be an idiot, pretending to be sick at this juncture, offending Emperor Chunxi is not a trivial matter, what kind of idea he plays, Rong Yuqi, as the son of the world, must be clear.

The conversation between the two in the palace that night was like a dream, he had promised to help him, Cai Lan Cai Zhi was his cousin, begging him to try not to refuse.

Ling Xiang told the two sisters his thoughts.

They didn't have a better idea, so they sent a letter to their brother.

At this time, there was a sound outside the door, it was someone from Concubine Sun's house who invited them to come over for dinner, and the sister-in-law temporarily accepted the discussion and went to Chunxuan Hall.

Concubine Sun didn't know, the court kept it from her, and the grandmothers and maids had no sources, and recently they were happy that their son had been crowned the prince, although the national funeral could not be celebrated, but the room called a few granddaughters every day to be lively.

Ling Makeup and the others naturally didn't show a worried look, so they could only fold up their spirits to accompany the old man to have fun.

Early the next morning, Cai Lan went to Guangxiangxia in person, saying that Rong Yuqi would enter the mansion with his brother in the afternoon, and made an appointment to listen to Yuxuan in the guest residence of Prince Tongling.

This time is different from the past, Ling Makeup is not pretentious, leaving the maids in the courtyard of the sisters, and going straight to Tingyuxuan.

Rong Yubang, the second prince of Tongling, is twenty-seven years old, gentle and polite, Ling Xiang has taken a photo when he was newly married, and he feels very strange, and both parties are polite.

Rong Yuqi has deliberately modified today, the narrow crown of white jade branches and leaves intertwined will tie the black hair in a messy manner, the plain white stand-up collar and the dragon pattern silk arrow sleeve silk robe are delicate and gorgeous, and the white leather boots with delicate and dusty feet are smiling and smiling, and they are clearly looking familiar.

It seems that Ling Makeup made him so coquettish during the national funeral, although he was in plain clothes, he was beaten very much. But thinking about it, she is the prince's son, and the etiquette cannot be abolished, and her face is still respectful.

Cai Zhi pouted and said, "Little sister-in-law, don't be polite, they are all close relatives, sit with me." As he spoke, he pulled Ling makeup into the side hall and sat down on the couch.

The two sons of the king of Lujiang County have already returned to the fiefdom, and the position of the prince of the Tongling Wangfu has not been decided.

A few sisters and brothers entered Beijing, saying that they drank their cousins' happy wine, but they actually brought a letter from the king of Tongling, and the king of Tuolu and the king of Yuyang contributed to the name of his son-in-law Rong Yubang, and they didn't want to stay in the capital because of the death of the old emperor, not to mention the position of the prince, that is, how the entire Tongling palace would be unknown to him, and he couldn't help but be troubled, and Rong Yubang's face was extremely unsightly.
