Yu Ziqi walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion in disappointment, he let out a long sigh, and was about to walk outside the palace, Yan Qing quickly caught up with him.

"Yu Xiang, where are you in a hurry?" Yan Qing said with a smile.

"Of course, it's to go to Your Majesty, just now in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Yan Xiang is already a blockbuster." Yu Ziqi said with some dissatisfaction.

Yan Qing smiled slightly, he held up one of Yu Ziqi's arms, and said softly: "Yu Xiang, you are the left minister, the head of the hundred officials, we all rely on your guidance to better serve Your Majesty." ”

Yu Ziqi suddenly stopped, he looked at Yan Qing, sneered, and said: "Come on, since Wang An sat on the right side, these hundred officials have long been looking at the right prime minister, and my left minister is just an ornament, is it the right minister." ”

Yan Qing was stunned, and a burst of embarrassment immediately floated across his face, but soon he said with a hippie smile: "How come? Look, aren't all the problems solved as soon as you get out of the way? ”

Yu Ziqi looked at Yan Qing, who was extremely deferential in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that he had just sat in the position of right minister, he was born as a military general, and he had no power in the previous dynasty, would he be so deferential to himself?

"The old man wanted to hide from his leisure, but unfortunately he was still found out by Yan Xiang." Yu Zi began to walk slowly towards the outside of the palace.

Yan Qing lowered his head and smiled, he still respectfully supported Yu Ziqi, and said softly: "Yu Xiang, without you, no one can share your worries for Your Majesty." ”

Upon hearing this, Yu Ziqi and Yan Qing looked at each other and smiled. Yan Qing is a smart person, Yan Qing must have thought of his proposal, why not put it up himself, I'm afraid that no one among these officials will buy his right minister's account. It's good that he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, his protégés are all over the previous dynasties, and he is the head of a hundred officials, this kind of thing is really done by him, which will satisfy Xiang Hongxuan.

In the past, Yu Ziqi only knew that Yan Qing was a person who could fight, but now it seems that Yan Qing is still a delicate person, such a person has been teaching in Tai Academy for more than ten years, Yu Ziqi feels incredible, but it is a pity that he has no daughter, otherwise he must let Yan Qing be his son-in-law, talent.

Xiang Hongxuan paced back and forth in front of the desk, Jiang Zhennan and Ye Zhiyuan looked at the map on the table, and they were also silent. Although he used his plan to Hongxuan very early, he purchased the singers and rare birds and beasts of Nanxi at a high price, which really affected the troops and farming of Nanxi Kingdom. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, Nanxi has been rich for many years, there are still 200,000 or 300,000 elite soldiers, and there are 200,000 elite soldiers stationed in Dongjiang and Shaoguan.

"Your Majesty, Nan Xiguo knew that Dongyu was going to raise troops to the south and gathered 300,000 people, according to the spies, except for the 200,000 elite soldiers in Shaoguan and Dongjiang, the others were all temporary

The team is not strong in combat, as long as Dongyu's army crosses the Dongjiang River and takes Shaoguan, the destruction of Nanxi is in sight. Jiang Zhennan gestured on the map and said endlessly to Xiang Hongxuan.

"Ye Shangshu, how many people can the military department mobilize at most?" Xiang Hongxuan asked Xiang Ye Zhiyuan.

"Your Majesty, if you don't transfer troops from the north and west, there are only 100,000 people at present, but the minister will recruit troops when he returns, and he should be able to gather a new army of 100,000 horses in half a year."

"The combat effectiveness of the new army is not strong, and it can only become cannon fodder on the battlefield, Marquis Anguo, 100,000 people plus 20,000 people in the south, do you have the confidence to destroy Nanxi Kingdom?" Xiang Hongxuan asked Xiang Jiang Zhennan eagerly, he knew that Nanxi Kingdom would definitely gather more people, far more than 300,000 people, but at present, the troops in the north and west could not move.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, it is enough. The old minister must dedicate Nanxi Kingdom to His Majesty. Jiang Zhennan said categorically.

"Good. Then I am waiting for the good news of An Guohou in Yicheng. ”

Xiang Hongxuan laughed with satisfaction, after destroying Nanxi, the south will be completely included in the territory of Dongyu, the most important thing is that Nanxi is rich, take Nanxi, Dongyu will have a big granary, no matter how Dongyu fights with Xihua and Beirong in the future, there is no need to worry about food problems.

Emperor Xuanwu's greatest wish is to subdue the four southern countries, but unfortunately Nanxi Kingdom is protected by natural dangers, and the army is strong, Emperor Xuanwu has not completed this grand wish in his life, if he does it to Hongxuan, the history of Dongyu will be rewritten, and he will also be famous in history. Suddenly he thought of something again, and his brow furrowed slightly.

"Ye Shangshu, the matter of recruiting new soldiers still can't be stopped, practicing in Dongyu, in case there is a change between the north and the west, there are more than enough recruits to support these two borders."

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will recruit troops immediately when he returns, but the problem of the source of troops is not big, but I don't know if there will be any problems with the supply of weapons?"

"Your Majesty, the supply of weapons to the Ministry of Industry is indeed a problem, and the minister is also worried about the military salary and food problems mentioned by Cao Shangshu, and I don't know if Yu Xiang can complete His Majesty's task as scheduled."

Jiang Zhennan is also a little worried, he has enough confidence in the southern border army, but what he is not worried about is the food supply and weapons, the battle of Nanxi is a tough battle, if he can't have no worries, it will be difficult to win this battle.

"This Cao Shangshu will not do anything other than cry poverty, during the period of the first emperor, he destroyed the three southern kingdoms, and often fought with Beirong, and he didn't see that the treasury couldn't open the pot, he was comfortable in peace, he just didn't want to fight, I don't know where the money in the treasury was wasted, and Cao Mo didn't know how to be flexible, and he was really not suitable for managing the household department, if he .............."

Xiang Hongxuan stopped halfway through his words, he thought of Zhou Xun, this is a person with a bright brain, and he is very good at managing money, if he is in charge of the household, why should Xiang Hongxuan have no silver? It's a pity that he is a southerner, and the household department is an important position, and he can't let the southerners serve, so Xiang Hongxuan asked Zhou Xun to go to the Ministry of Industry to be a waiter, and he is still a second-in-command.

"Your Majesty, no matter what the odds are, your minister

and so on, they will take Nanxi and level the south for His Majesty. ”

Jiang Zhennan began to swear to Xiang Hong that Nanxi must be taken, and it must be taken by his Jiang family, Emperor Xuanwu said that those who destroyed the four southern countries were crowned kings, Ling Xiao has been sick in bed since he died of a wife and a concubine, and will not return to the southern military camp, as long as Nanxi is destroyed, the Jiang family can become the king of Dongyu's different surname, what a glory.

Ling Xi held the soup woman in his hand and stared blankly at the charcoal brazier in the Dongnuan Pavilion. With a bang, the soup woman in her hand fell to the ground, hot water splashed, Aunt Yan hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Ling Xi's hand carefully, for fear that she would be burned. It happened that Aunt An also entered the house, and she saw that Ling Xi's shoes and socks were wet, so she squatted in front of Ling Xi's feet, took off Ling Xi's shoes and socks, and took a silk handkerchief to wipe the water stains for Ling Xi.

"Aunt Yan, Niangniang will have me here, you go to the West Chamber to get a new pair of shoes and socks for Niangniang." Aunt Ann said loudly.

Aunt Yan saw that Ling Xi was fine, so she went to the West Chamber according to what Aunt An said.

"Queen Mother, Aunt Yan is old, I'm afraid I can't take care of you, why don't you change a young palace person to serve you by your side?" Aunt Ann asked in a whisper.

Ling Xi was a little absent-minded, she didn't listen to Aunt An's words at all, she had been fidgeting recently, and her heart was a little unstable. On the day of the New Year, Imperial Physician Chen came to tell him that the little prince's condition was not very good, and there was a fever, although the medicine was later used to stabilize the little prince's high temperature, but it had been more than ten days, and the little prince was still having a fever intermittently.

"What about Your Majesty?"

Aunt An was stunned, Ling Xi changed her words, and asked Xiang Hongxuan, she was a little unsure, did Ling Xi feel that she was too talkative? Aunt An hurriedly stopped the original pile of words to be said to Ling Xi, she brought a new soup woman and put it in her arms, she continued to squat in front of Ling Xi, and put Ling Xi's feet into her arms.

"Your Majesty, I went to Xiyan Palace today, and I heard that the princess will babble and say a few words now, Your Majesty is happy, and I sent someone to stay in Xiyan Palace tonight."

Ling Xi was a little entangled, should she send someone to tell Xiang Hongxuan? Xiang Hongxuan is very happy this year, because not long after the beginning of spring, he will be able to send troops to Nanxi, this is something he has been planning for many years, and it is finally about to be realized, and last year he added a son and a daughter, so that Xiang Hongxuan, who is about to stand in the year, is more confident in the previous dynasty, everything is going well, if he is told that his son is so weak that he may die early, he should not be happy.

Aunt Yan walked quickly into the East Warm Pavilion,

Something didn't look good.

"Queen Mother, something happened to Yingyue Pavilion."

"What's wrong with the little prince?" Ling Xi exclaimed.

"The little prince has a high fever since the evening, and the imperial doctors Chen have already given the little prince a decoction, but it still hasn't improved."

Ling Xi was startled, she walked down to the ground barefoot, and she didn't care about the biting cold on her feet, and said eagerly: "Go to Xiyan Palace, please go to Yingyue Pavilion for Your Majesty." ”

Ling Xi had an ominous premonition, she had to tell Xiang Hongxuan, otherwise it might be too late.

Zhao Xinyue looked at the little prince on the bed a little haggardly, and she burst into tears. She knew that the little prince was not in good health, she thought that the child would grow up and become stronger, but she didn't expect that it was almost 4 months, but the prince's body was getting weaker and weaker day by day, and in the past half a month, the little prince had been feverish, and Imperial Doctor Chen prescribed a lot of decoctions for the little prince to take, but it didn't get better, she was really worried about whether her child could grow up healthily.

"Mrs. Zhao, don't be too sad, with the imperial doctors here, the little prince will be fine." Ling Xi comforted Zhao Xinyue, Zhao Xinyue looked behind Ling Xi, and there was no figure of Xiang Hongxuan, and she was immediately disappointed.

"Queen Mother, please send someone to Xiyan Palace, please come to Yingyue Pavilion, the little prince is really not good."

Zhao Xinyue immediately knelt down in front of Ling Xi, and cried sadly, in fact, she had already sent someone to Xiyan Palace, but the palace people didn't see Xiang Hongxuan at all, so they were blocked back by Concubine Shu. The little prince had a fever several times before, and she also sent someone to Xiyan Palace to invite Xiang Hongxuan, she admitted that it was to compete for favor, but this time it was different, the little prince had a high fever, she had no bottom in her heart, and if Xiang Hongxuan didn't come, she was even more afraid.

"This palace has already sent someone to call, don't worry."

Ling Xi picked up Zhao Xinyue, who was about to cry, and she turned around and asked Imperial Doctor Chen, "What are you doing to eat, hurry up and give the little prince a fever." ”

"Queen Mother, the little prince is too young to apply needles to reduce fever, so he can only feed some decoction, but the prince's stomach is weak, and the effect of the medicine cannot be completely absorbed, so this high fever can't go away."

In fact, Imperial Physician Chen only said half of what he said, the little prince was congenitally deficient, and his body was already weak, coupled with such a high fever, the decoction had little effect.

Ling Xi looked out of the door wistfully, Xiang Hongxuan is here, how should she tell Xiang Hongxuan?
