Beijing, Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, Princess Chunning asks to see you."

Emperor Yanguang frowned when he heard this, and looked at Liu An, the eunuch who came to report, with some displeasure in his eyes.

He thought for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”

He was writing an edict by himself, but he didn't need anyone to grind the ink, and after writing a few sentences, he took the ink stone and grinded it himself, and his expression seemed to be a little tangled.

After a while, Chunning entered the temple and performed a blessing.

"The son visits his father."

Emperor Yanguang turned his head to take a look, the father and daughter were not familiar with each other, and there was no gossip for a while.

After a while, Chun Ning spoke first: "Father is haggard. ”

"Hmm." Emperor Yanguang replied casually, "I heard that you usually practice calligraphy and read, and I have also read your calligraphy, Yan Zhenqing's manuscript of the nephew, okay, go back and change it, it is very convenient for the priest and the father." ”

The face of the eunuch accompanying the hall changed slightly, and he said in his heart, Your Majesty is like this again.

Chunning's expression froze, and he made a blessing, and said: "My father is a human king, and in this situation, please don't make such a pessimistic statement." ”

"When this situation? You're here for this. I also thought you had come to visit your father. Emperor Yanguang's face suddenly turned angry, and he said, "Do you know what you're mixing?" ”

Chunning didn't want to go around the bend anymore, knelt on the ground, and said: "The battle in Jizhen is unfavorable, please ask my father to transfer the soldiers and horses to help......"

With a "snap", the brush in Emperor Yanguang's hand was thrown heavily in front of Chunning.

Drops of ink splattered and landed on Chunning's skirt.

"What kind of system? Is this what you should be talking about?! ”

At this point, Emperor Yanguang squinted his eyes slightly, his tone changed, and he said coldly: "I know, Wang Xiao looked for you before going to Liaodong." You are my good daughters and sons-in-law, and you don't do anything else together, and you are dedicated to my state affairs. ”

"The defense line of Jizhen collapsed three times a day, the people in the capital were panicked, the situation was imminent, and I asked my father to make a quick decision."

Emperor Yanguang snorted coldly and said lightly: "Jiannu entered the fortress for plunder, but Tang Shun wanted to subvert my country. Since you can't tell which is more important, as a princess, you shouldn't run around talking nonsense. ”

Chunning kowtowed and said, "If Jiannu was only for plundering, with the benefit of its cavalry, he would have already plundered thousands of miles. How could Panhuan Jizhen fight a tough battle with Zhang Yongnian? The heart of the slave chief and wolf has been shown to the capital, and this great misfortune of destroying the family and destroying the country cannot be taken lightly. ”

"What does the little girl know? It's not your business, get out of here! ”

"Father actually understands in his heart, right? There are foreign prisoners in the east and internal prisoners in the west, and they are guarded on both sides, and they cannot be held on either side. The only way to do this is to give up Xuanda and transfer its soldiers and horses to stick to the capital. Let go of the battlefield, let the East and the West meet face to face, and the father and emperor issued another edict to appease Tang Yi and drive the tiger and wolf...... In this way, there is a glimmer of life in order to alleviate the crisis. ”

"Yes, 'alleviating' the crisis, not 'solving' the crisis." Emperor Yanguang sneered: "What about after the slowdown? You made me pluck my teeth and claws, and lay myself on the board like a ball of meat, and see who would swallow it; You let me take off all my armor and stand naked in front of them to see who will bully and bully; You are asking me to peel off all the skins and kneel on the edge of the battlefield to see who is stronger, Tang Zhongyuan or Huang Taiji, who can trample on me wantonly; Just to live one more moment? I tell you that I will not suffer such a great disgrace. I am death, and I am also the dignified king of this great Chu! ”

Chun Ning said: "But we can force Jiannu to retreat......"

"Huh." Emperor Yanguang sneered, "And then? Give up the country to Tang Zhongyuan? ”

Chunning froze slightly.

Before she could speak, Emperor Yanguang shouted again: "Enough! Stand back! ”

"The daughter will not retreat, and the daughter is willing to die to her father."

"Advice? Then I ask you, who told you these words? ”

Chunning bowed his head.

Emperor Yanguang's expression became more and more cold, and he said: "Don't think I don't know, Zuo Jinglun, Bian Xiuyuan, and Gao Chengyi are gathered around Zhou Yan, and it is you and your husband's family who connect them, what?" Before I died, they began to want this merit? ”

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he raised his hand to point at Chunning.

"I gave birth to your daughter, who seems to be well-behaved, but in fact harbors evil intentions. In order to let your brother ascend to the throne, you tried your best to let your husband go to Liaodong to grab military power, and let the Wang family jump up and down in the capital, form a party to gain power in the government and the opposition, and even dare to reach out to Jiaodong, making a miasma! ”

"It's not that I haven't given you the opportunity to appoint Wang Xiao to Liaodong, and I hope that he can keep the enemy out of the country. In order to protect the territory and the people, I put up with you. In exchange for what? Jiliao collapsed for a thousand miles! Tens of thousands of people were slaughtered by Jiannu! ”

"Come, you tell me, you Qi Wang and his party, are you worthy of my trust?!"

Chunning raised his head and looked at Emperor Yanguang, his eyes were already red.

Emperor Yanguang said: "What? Now you, the leader of the Qi Wang and his party, are finally willing to stand up behind the scenes, what kind of good daughter do you want to play in front of me? ”

"The soldiers, horses, money and grain in the capital are all in Wang Xiao's hands, the Shenshu Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, the Jinyi Guard, the Kun Party, the Zhejiang Party, plus the reputation of the King of Qi for controlling the epidemic...... Heh, I'm afraid that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty wish that King Qi would ascend the throne as soon as possible, right? Dead admonition? Why don't you give me a direct advice?! ”

Chun Ning muttered, "Erchen...... It's not like that......"

Emperor Yanguang picked up the edict he had written on the table and threw it in front of Chunning!

"Not so? Did you say that it was because I wrote this edict that you came here in a hurry? Even you dare to put eyeliner next to me! ”

Chunning looked down and saw the edict written on it...... Sure enough, he wanted to make Zhou Yu, the eldest grandson of the emperor, the prince.

"I am virtuous, I keep the great cause of my ancestors, I am diligent and diligent, and I want to be governed, but the people's livelihood is declining, and the border is open...... Entrusted by the first emperor, he was responsible for all the people in the world, thinking all night, and regretting it. Fang Xin's career has not been established, and the Zhongxing end belongs to the sage. The emperor's eldest grandson, Yu, is smart and benevolent, and makes virtue natural, and can be established as the emperor's grandson. ”

This edict was written in the tone of a testament.

She, the father of the emperor, actually has the idea of dying in the country.

He has worked hard all his life, and finally came to this point, even if he knows that Zhou Yu is just a child under Zheng Yuanhua's control, he can only helplessly hand over Sheji in the end......

Thinking of this, Chun Ning could feel her father's grief and helplessness, and tears fell from her eyes.

"Father, ......"

Emperor Yanguang sneered: "Crying? What else is there to cry about? If you are willing to spend less effort to help your brother plan, and try your best to persuade your husband to fight the country well, why is this so? I tell you plainly that Zhou Yan is overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, and he does not want to inherit my unification! ”

Chunning looked at his father in a daze.

At this moment, she had a lot of thoughts in her heart.

The tears in his eyes were in his father's eyes, but they were just for the throne.

So why cry about?

Tears still slid down Chunning's face, and the soft silhouette became more and more poignant......

After a while, Chunning wiped the tears on her face, raised her head, and said, "Yes, my daughter just knew that her father was going to canonize Zhou Yu, so she rushed over." ”

"The news that Liu An sent to you? He was really bought by Wang Xiao. ”

"Not bad." Chunning's eyes flashed with a hint of determination, and said, "Father, what are you thinking, and my daughter also understands." ”

She sniffed, her tone slowly cold.

"My father knew that the capital would not be able to hold on sooner or later, and he was ready to be martyred. But you'd rather die at the hands of Jiannu than let Tang counterattack the Jingshi, right? The king died against foreign captives, and he was a fierce lord who guarded the gate of the country; Killed by the inner invaders, you will become the king of the fallen country of the Ring of the Fallen Car. The difference is nothing to others, but to my father, it is the posthumous name of heaven and earth. Therefore, you would rather let the Slave Chief break through Jizhen than transfer Sun Baigu back to defense, yes or no? ”

"Shut up!"

Emperor Yanguang was furious.

The inkstone slammed into the ground, and it shattered with a "bang".

"Do you know what you're talking about?!"

After dropping the inkstone, Emperor Yanguang took a few deep breaths, his chest rising and falling.

"That's how you see me? Are you still my flesh and blood?! ”

He kept shaking his head, and his eyes were already red and swollen.

"How much have I paid for this ancestral foundation? What do you know about a little girl? Only when I personally lead the soldiers and people of the capital to fight to the death and build slaves, will the world understand that the Zhou family is orthodox in the world! ”

"My country was passed down from generation to generation by Emperor Taizu's expulsion of Meng Yuan and the shaking of Liuhe. I want the world to remember again that the Great Chu Zhou clan is the father who protects the world. In this way, Zhou Yu can win the hearts of the people all over the world in Nanjing and continue the temple society! ”

"I want the world to open their stupid eyes and see clearly that Chu Tianzi can be martyred, and he, Tang Zhongyuan, is just a bandit! His bullshit Rui Dynasty is a complete pseudo-dynasty! I want to send an order to Sun Baigu and stick to Xuanda, Tang Zhongyuan doesn't want to step into the Central Plains at all! ”

"I can die, but the temple cannot be destroyed; The Central Plains can be lost, but the foundation of Da Chu cannot be buried! ”

Chunning looked at Emperor Yanguang, shook his head, and said, "Father, you are crazy. ”

"I'm not crazy, I'm more sober than ever. I see, you ...... None of you is worth trusting. Zheng Yuanhua, Lu Zhengchu, Zuo Jinglun, He Liangyuan, as well as Wang Xiao and you, you knelt in front of me one by one and told me to do this and that, but each of you has selfish intentions! ”

"It is not me who you want to save. I can only rely on myself...... Hahaha, no one of you will believe me until now, because each of you has betrayed my trust. ”

Chun Ning said: "So what? Father thinks Zhou Yu can keep the community in Nanjing? You are Huo Guang when Zheng Yuanhua is Huo Guang, but he is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. ”

"And what are you?!" Emperor Yanguang said: "As a princess, you go against the ancestral system, violate the law of the country, and collude with your husband's family to support your brother, what are you?" When you are the princess of Anle? ”

The words 'Princess Anle' entered her ears, Chunning's shoulders shook, and she kowtowed heavily on the ground.

"Erchen doesn't dare."

Princess Anle is the daughter of Tang Zhongzong, and what she often does is to cooperate with Empress Wei to intervene in the government affairs, wantonly open the government to "obliquely seal" officials, sell official titles, and there are more officials below the prime minister. The desire for power is overwhelming, and she once asked Tang Zhongzong to be the empress dowager. There are even wild history rumors that Tang Zhongzong was poisoned by Princess Anle......

At this time, in the palace, Emperor Yanguang's words were very damning.

The father and daughter stared at each other with red eyes and fell silent.
