Time flies unhurriedly, and when there are still seven days before the new empress's enthronement ceremony, there is chaos in the palace, and the palace people are sick and falling, and the disease is like an infection, and the fallen people are wave after wave, and the imperial doctors are very busy.

And in the early morning of this day, there was an urgent report on the border, facing the borders of Chu State, Qin State, and Dragon Girl Country on three sides, and enemy troops appeared, and the gathered troops were still hundreds of thousands, obviously there was a plan.

If the Three Kingdoms besieged it, the Ya Nu Kingdom would definitely not be able to withstand it, and the empress could only send General Shui to meet the enemy troops on the border of Chu State, and send two more generals to deal with the armies on the other two borders.

The empress fell ill in the case of external and internal troubles, and the second princess, as the heir, naturally had to take the lead, and this was the time for her to perform.

The next day, the Emperor of Xia sent an envoy to come, saying that he was going to take Princess Chiyang to Xia for a reunion, the envoy's attitude was very stiff, if he didn't let people go, he wouldn't give face to Emperor Xia, and if he didn't give face to Emperor Xia, the natural consequences would be immeasurable, and the enemy of the Three Kingdoms might become a siege of the Four Kingdoms.

The second princess was so knotted by this that her brows were knotted, it was naturally not a good thing for Emperor Xia to make a move at this time, and it was not a day or two for Emperor Xia to maintain Princess Chiyang, this time he actually sent their general of the Xia Kingdom, Wei Chi Qingyan, to pick up Princess Chiyang, which was naturally unusual.

"Imperial sister, what do you think?"

Chenxi smiled faintly, "I am naturally willing to go and get together with Emperor Xia, after all, several of my children are also playing in the Palace of Xia Kingdom, and I am very worried about not seeing them for a long time." ”

The second princess was stunned, "When did the imperial sister send the child to Emperor Xia?" ”

"A few months ago, you also know that my princess's mansion is not very peaceful, from time to time someone wants to assassinate me, and also wants to take advantage of the situation, I don't dare to leave the children behind when I am not at home, and the most reliable in this world is naturally Emperor Xia, I can rest assured of his place."

"Imperial sister. Now the national crisis is now-"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm pregnant now, and I don't have enough energy to spare, besides, this is the time to test your ability, Sister Huang, solve these troubles, and no one dares to question your accession to the throne. So, you better try your best, and I hope you can solve all the problems. ”

The second princess was blocked by her. The heart is very astringent, this is schadenfreude!

"Princess Chiyang is right, this is the time to test whether the second princess has the ability to become the king of a country, and our emperor also said that this kind of test of the king of a country Princess Chiyang should not be touched, so as not to be misunderstood."

You just misunderstood, taking away Princess Chiyang is equivalent to missing the help of the 100,000 elite soldiers, all of the 100,000 elite soldiers are one top ten, that is a million troops!

Although she is still embarrassed to open her mouth and let Chenxi send troops. However, in a few days, if the border pass is urgent, she can justifiably ask Princess Chiyang to borrow troops.

The second princess glanced at the ministers who received the envoy on the side, and after looking at it, she found that more than half of them lowered their heads and kept silent. Apparently did not want to interfere in this matter.

These days, some people in the court are panicking, and there is no other reason, that is, those families who were originally very enthusiastic about supporting the second princess to ascend to the throne. These days, they have all fallen ill one after another, either the head of the house or the children of the head of the house or something, anyway, some capable people have fallen ill.

The royal doctor examined that he was sick. All kinds of diseases, but who wouldn't think about it, if they are good, they will fall ill one by one, or they are still attached to the second princess's family, what does this mean?

It shows that some people don't like the second princess to succeed to the throne, and the second princess is obviously vulnerable, and she doesn't know what's going on when she is put down.

This ability is not available to everyone, they all want to protect themselves, they will not die if they are neutral anyway, they will hear about whoever is the empress, and they will decisively not stand in line, and they can't stand next to the second princess if they want to stand.

"Prime Minister, what do you say?" The second princess set her eyes on Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng.

Prime Minister Zhuge glanced at the envoy lightly, and then at Chenxi, "Back to His Royal Highness, this matter is the kindness of Emperor Xia, it is reasonable, Princess Chiyang should decide by herself, and Weichen does not dare to have any opinions." ”

Hmph, old fritters!

The second princess glanced at Prime Minister Zhuge dissatisfied, and Chen Xi smiled slightly, "Sister Huang, don't embarrass them, Emperor Xia's temper is not very good, and he doesn't like others not to give face, so Sister Huang should give me a face." ”

"But you are physically inconvenient, you don't want to come to Tiandu when the mother emperor asked you to come to Tiandu, this will go to Xia Kingdom......"

"It's okay, anyway, didn't the Queen Mother give some masters to accompany me, just let them continue to serve me. Their light work is not ordinary, and when they carry the sedan chair, it is very smooth and will not hurt my body. ”

Poof, let the master carry her sedan chair, isn't this too big and overkill.

However, this also admits in disguise that she is willing to continue to be monitored by the mother queen's people? But what she wants is not to monitor, but to borrow her troops!

Princess Chiyang's elite soldiers, she really wanted to see it for herself.

"Imperial sister, the border is urgent, can your elite soldiers in Xicheng lend a helping hand in the current national crisis-"

Chenxi's face suddenly turned cold, and she said coldly: "Imperial sister, isn't there any other army in the country of Yanu?" The 100,000 elite soldiers were given to me by the emperor's grandmother, and in order to protect me, they have lost thousands of people over the years, and now they are not enough for 100,000. In order to avoid others saying that I recruit troops, I don't want to replenish my troops in a big way, there will be enemy attacks, you don't want your army to go to a big war, but you want to use private strength, is it impossible to use the army of the country of Yanu? ”

"No, I just want to say that Xicheng is closer to the border of Chu State......

"Unfortunately, Xicheng is closer to several other countries, and the imperial sister won't want me to block them all, right?"

This-

It would be good if she could block it, after all, the enthronement ceremony was ahead, and now it was internal and external troubles, and she was very busy.

"If I were a princess, then I would do everything I could to fight the enemy, but the current lady is not me, so don't be too reluctant in some things."

The second princess was stunned, in front of the minister, she said such things so bluntly, what did she mean, implying that she could make Xian?

"Princess Chiyang, at the moment of national disaster, everyone is responsible, although the princess's army was given by the emperor, but now that the country is in trouble, it is natural to contribute." An official who did not know Chen Xi stood up from among the ministers and said righteously.

Chenxi smiled slightly, "Everyone is responsible for the current national disaster, it's really good." Then, my lords, the march and war require a lot of money, so it is better to allocate it from the wealth of the ministers. ”

What the!

The ministers all changed their faces, and they were angry at the man who spoke, didn't this involve them?

"According to what the lord said just now, then, the property of the world's wealthy businessmen can be contributed at the time of the current national crisis, and if you don't take it out, you won't contribute. If everyone treats everyone equally, this princess will definitely not postpone and is willing to follow suit. ”

"Tsk, that's funny. The merchants pay taxes to the state every year, and the peasants also pay taxes, and the money from the state treasury is not used when the country is in trouble, but they have to use other people's private property. However, our Xia Kingdom will definitely not dare to bully the common people like this. ”

"I—"

The minister's face turned red, and he had no idea that his words would be refuted like this, which caused even more anger among the people.

The second princess waved her hand helplessly to stop everyone's whispering, "This matter is inappropriate, if you want to send troops, it is naturally the country's army that will be dispatched first, and I am anxious." ”

"Hehe, it's good that the imperial sister understands the difference between public and private. This princess is not stingy, but it is impossible to catch me as a fat sheep to slaughter. ”

The second princess was choked by these words, and she was really hated, she also wanted to inherit the throne!

However, this is the will of the mother, the queen did not fancy her, is she still giving up?

Ask yourself, she can't be so generous.

Taking a deep breath, the second princess's gaze at Chenxi became much more flat, "Since this is the case, then the imperial sister will go to the Xia Kingdom to meet the Xia Emperor, I hope that the Xia Emperor will not take advantage of the situation for the sake of the imperial sister." ”

"Haha, second princess, don't worry, our emperor doesn't want to move the country now, after all, Princess Chiyang is the princess of the country of women, no one can give face, but Princess Chiyang's face must be given." General Xia said heartily and proudly.

It can be said that his words gave Chen Xi enough face, and also made the ministers of the Yanu country think differently.

Yu Chi Qingyan glanced at Chenxi and smiled ambiguously, but this smile made Chenxi feel shocked, this guy won't have anything to hide from her, right?

Just thinking about it, I heard Yu Chi Qingyan say loudly: "In addition, before the emperor came, I repaired a book, and I originally wanted Her Majesty the Empress to see it in person, but Her Majesty the Empress of your country actually fell ill, so let the general explain it directly!" ”

"I don't know what General Wei Chi has to say?"

"My emperor wants to become the husband of Princess Chiyang, although I have not yet received the approval of Princess Chiyang, but the marriage is a major matter of my parents' order to match, so my emperor specially sent me to consult the attitude of Her Majesty the Empress of your country. If they agree, the two countries will naturally be forever in alliance and watch over each other. ”

There was a sudden sound of inhalation in the main hall, one after another, so lively.

Chenxi was also stunned, and then looked at Yu Chi Qingyan angrily, "Is the general mistaken, how could Emperor Xia bring up such a thing!" ”

"How can I be mistaken, this general has a letter written by my emperor here, and my emperor has confessed, this letter can be shown to Prime Minister Zhuge and Huangfu Shangshu of the Yannu Country, because the two of them are the princess's side husband and mother, and they deserve respect." said that he really handed the letter to Prime Minister Zhuge .

After reading it, Prime Minister Zhuge turned it on to Huangfu Shangshu, and the expressions of both of them were surprised first and then happy, obviously very satisfied with the content of the letter.
