At the beginning of May of the second year of Fengtian, Pei Zhi led 100,000 elite soldiers from Chang'an, with sufficient grain and grass, full of confidence to recapture Jinyang, at the end of May, Pei Zhi to Dingyang, Xu Yang rejected the city, the two sides fought in Suoyuandu (under the south mountain of Dingyang), the Wei army was defeated, Pei Zhi led the remnants of Lingshi County after twenty miles back, in June, Xu Yang captured Qinyuan, Pei Zhi was in chaos, in order to slow down the pace of Xu Yang's march, all the people around Lingshi County were driven into the city, and all the surrounding fertile fields were burned, This move aroused strong dissatisfaction from the surrounding people, and in July, Lü Mao gathered a crowd in Xia County to revolt, proclaimed himself King of Song, and responded to Emperor Liang.

Pei Zhi led his troops to crusade, not only failed to capture Xia County, but also lost a large number of troops, Xie Yun was furious when he got the military report, urgently recalled Pei Zhi, and ordered Wen Ning to temporarily replace Pei Zhi to resist Xu Yang and Lü Mao.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally said to Shang Xi: "Call King Qin." ”

"Father, do you want to let Rong Hua go?" Xie Yunzhi said hurriedly and knelt down: "Father, my son is willing to go and lead the troops." ”

"You are the crown prince, the foundation of the country, and you must not put yourself in danger." Xie Yun vetoed.

"But father, haven't you ever thought about whether you sent Rong Hua to let him win or lose, if he wins, how will his sons deal with themselves, and if he is defeated, why should his father send him forward." Xie Yunzhi said anxiously.

"Yunzhi, when did you become like this, you are the eldest son, the crown prince, this country will be yours in the future, it will never change, no matter how Rong Hua is, he is just a prince, why should you target him." Xie Yun frowned.

"But father, once a person's merit is too great, it is inevitable that Xiao will think about things that do not belong to him, the battle of Western Qin, as a prince, his merit is enough, if his father let him win the battle of Hedong again, then he may become the god of war in the army, and the people in the army will look forward to him, who can still see me, the prince, can see the father, at that time, even if he has no thoughts, what about his subordinates, what about the generals who follow him in the army, is there not?" Xie Yunzhi said in a deep voice.

Xie Yun frowned, his words were straightforward, but it was not unreasonable, he thought about it, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I have my own considerations, and I will never let him go beyond your position." “

Not long after Xie Yun's words were finished, someone from the palace came to report that Xie Ronghua was here, Xie Yun asked Xie Yunzhi to leave from the side door of the imperial study first, and then let the palace people let Xie Ronghua in, the son's face was still faint, he couldn't see his joy and anger, and he couldn't see through what he was thinking, Xie Ronghua saluted Xie Yun respectfully and said: "The son sees the father, I don't know what the father summoned the son." ”

Xie Yun lovingly asked him to get up and said to him, "Are you in better health now?" ”

Xie Ronghua smiled faintly and nodded: "Father Lao's memory is no longer a big deal. ”

"That's good." Xie Yun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Pei Zhi's matter, I guess you have also heard about it, I told you to come here, you must have guessed a little." ”

Xie Ronghua didn't answer him, so he had to continue: "I hope you can take Pei Zhi's place, command the three armies, stabilize the morale of the army, and recapture Jinyang." You said that we started from Jinyang, it is our root, and now this root has been pulled out by others, we must take it back, and the people have been convinced. “

Xie Ronghua looked up at Xie Yun and said with a light smile: "Father sent me over, aren't you afraid that your eldest brother will be unhappy?" “

Xie Yun listened to his words, his face was a little embarrassed, he sneered: "You are brothers, how can you divide each other so much, I have said it to your eldest brother, he will not object to this matter, if you have no objection, I will immediately draw up the decree, you will be ready to leave tomorrow." “

Xie Ronghua shook his head, looked at Xie Yun and said: "Father, the son can promise you to go to Hedong to clean up the mess, but the son also wants to ask the father to agree to the three requests of the son, if the father and the emperor grant the three requests of the son, then the minister will immediately take the holy decree." ”

Xie Yun's face was slightly displeased, he didn't expect him to bargain for himself, but thinking that he still had a lot of trust in him, he had to say patiently: "Tell me, which three requests do you want me to accept." ”

"First, please ask my father to Feng Lingzhen as the deputy general of the son, this expedition with the son, he has grown up, and the son hopes that he can take charge of himself as soon as possible and become the pillar of the country."

Xie Yun was reminded by him, and finally remembered this son of the concubine he hadn't managed for a long time, since he was named King Yan for him, he almost never saw him again, only remembered that he had been arranged to train in the army, listening to Xie Ronghua's words, he smiled: "It's hard for you to remember your younger brother, so that he can exercise more, naturally it's good, my father agreed." ”

Xie Ronghua nodded and continued: "Second, Erchen will personally select a thousand people in the army to form a new team as Erchen's personal guards, and this team will not obey anyone's orders except Erchen and his father. ”

"Don't obey anyone, including the Prince?" Xie Yun frowned, this is not a good sign.

"Including the crown prince." Xie Ronghua replied in a deep voice, "On this expedition, the sons don't want any accidents, and my father also knows that if there are more people who give orders, the people below won't know who to listen to, which is not good." ”

Xie Yun pondered for a long time, and did not immediately agree to him, but said, "What about your third request?" ”

"The third request." Xie Ronghua said slowly, his expression became gentle: "The son wants to ask his father to promise the son a marriage, and when the son returns from the expedition, I hope that my father can marry her for the son." ”

Xie Yun didn't expect his third request to be a private matter, he was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "I thought you really didn't want to get married, let's talk about it, which young lady disturbed King Qin's mind." ”

"Today, the retainer took her into the palace, and my father will know when he sees her." Xie Ronghua smiled slightly.

Hearing him say this, Xie Yun's smile stopped, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, if it was Miss Everyone, how could he follow him into the palace like this, he frowned, and said in a deep voice: "So, you let her in." ”

Xie Ronghua nodded, walked outside the hall in person, and led Yan Xining into the hall, this is not the first time Yan Xining has seen Xie Yun, but it is the most nervous time for her, although Xie Ronghua said that everything has him, but she is still uneasy in her heart, as soon as she walks into the hall, she feels Xie Yun's sharp gaze swept over her, like a thorn in her back, if it weren't for Xie Ronghua's hand holding her, she was afraid that she would turn around and run away.

It wasn't until she walked to the center of the study that Xie Ronghua let go of her hand and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Yan Xining saw his stable eyes, and her heart also settled down, and she knelt down respectfully to Xie Yun and said loudly: "The people's daughter Yan Xining knocks to see Your Majesty." ”
