Taking advantage of the last day of the holiday, Xiao Rui took Zhuge Liuying, Li Ruoxue and Lu Pheasant to Jingyuan to play, and also invited Zhang Ruoxi, Li Xiuer, Lu Su, Xiao Qingqing, a group of beauties to communicate happily, while Xiao Rui and Li Yuanfang fished and enjoyed a day of peace and ease.

Before you know it, the day goes by.

In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Rui participated in the morning pilgrimage.

In the early dynasty, Huo Xingye, the secretary of the military department, introduced the battle situation of the attack on the Qi State, and now the champion Hou has taken the Chengde Mansion of the Qi State, Chicheng to the west, and Jianchang to the east. This move caused turmoil in the Qi State, and the Qi Emperor felt panicked, and immediately gathered more troops to go south to resist the Xia, and tried to get the Yuan State to send more Yuan troops, but now this wishful thinking is not so easy to fight.

Chang Shenghou is still deadlocked, but the battles along the south and north lines have been won repeatedly!

Xiao Feng, the Duanwang of Yinzhou, led 40,000 soldiers and horses to fight more than 100 miles into the territory of Zhao State, Lianke Sifu, and killed more than 30,000 enemies.

A great prince led his troops to fight, and his military spirit was unprecedentedly high-pitched, so he was like a bamboo. His Majesty also highly praised Xiao Feng's merits, and sent 60,000 troops to him to form an army of 100,000 to suppress the battle in Yinzhou.

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military did not know Xiao Feng's city government and forbearance, and only thought that he was a fierce general, but Xiao Rui knew that he was earning enough military merit and prestige, holding more soldiers and horses, and then coming back to compete for the position of the crown prince, and wanted to pull himself off the horse.

However, the prestige he gained from this trip to Qi is not comparable to Xiao Feng, and I believe that he must be very sad after hearing about his feat.

However, His Majesty will continue to send troops to him, which makes Xiao Rui a little surprised, and seems to be reminding Xiao Rui.

The direction of Xiangzhou is also frequent, and Chen Qingzhi and Han Xin cooperate like a tiger, and the Zhao army continues to retreat.

On the whole, the current situation at the border is gratifying.

When Great Xia was carrying out the early dynasty, the imperial capital of the distant Zhao State was also conducting early dynasty deliberations.

Emperor Zhao looked at the battle situation presented by the military department, there was no problem with the battle situation in Canglan Pass, but the southern copper mountain fell and was occupied by the Xia State, and only 150,000 of the 300,000 troops were left in combat effectiveness, and they were defeated and retreated by the Xia army, which was simply a humiliation!

Therefore, Emperor Zhao was furious, threw the book on the ground, and said angrily: "Immediately transfer 200,000 troops to the south, be sure to take Xiangzhou of Xia State, and break through the Xifeng Pass of Yan State!" ”

The crown prince Zhao Haizhi came out and said: "Father, no! Since the battle in the south has been defeated, Erchen suggested not to continue to send troops, and ordered the remaining soldiers and horses to defend on all fronts! What Erchen is most worried about now is not the Xia Kingdom, but the Qin State in the West! Erchen suggested that the 200,000 troops should be transferred to the North Pivot Pass, and the garrisons in the middle courtyard and the south of the two passes should not be moved without permission, so as to prevent Qin Guosheng from attacking the east and west! In addition, the western state capitals were strictly ordered to impose martial law, and the Qin troops hiding in the country must be killed, and secondly, the governor must be sent to pacify the people! ”

I have to say that the crown prince of Zhao is very smart and courageous, but unfortunately... He's just the crown prince.

Emperor Zhao glared at him and said angrily, "Worried about the Qin State? Although the Qin State is strong, it never wants to step through the Qin Mountains! Nowadays, the environment in the northern snowfield forest is harsh, the heavy snowfall is non-stop, the snow is half a person high, and in some places it is even a person deep, and it is impossible to march on a large scale. In the past, the Qin army was able to cross the snowfield, and God helped them, but now? The right time and place are on our side of Da Zhao! I have three Xiongguan passes, the north hub, the atrium, and the south corner, each of which can be used as a million Qin troops! Emperor Qin thought that by sending some young people to spread rumors, he would be able to influence me? Haha, what a joke! ”

Zhao Haizhi sighed, is it really a joke? Does it really have no effect? His Majesty is moody now, that is, he is affected by rumors, he trusts the defense of Qinling Xiongguan too much, and attacking the city has been a policy since ancient times, Qin Guo is not stupid, and he will definitely not come hard!

"Father, the son thinks that the threat of the Qin army is huge, and it is inevitable..."

Who knows, Emperor Zhao patted the dragon case and shouted: "Prince! I said that Qin Jun is fine, you have been singing the opposite, do you want to be the master of the house? If you are really worried about the Qin State, why not lead 5,000 people into the Qin State like Xiao Rui, the crown prince of the Xia State, and also kill tens of thousands of Qin troops and burn their granaries! The crown prince of his Xia Kingdom has such courage and courage, why is the prince of my Zhao Kingdom not? Why not? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Haizhi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, full of anger.

The civil and military officials were silent, and they also sighed in their hearts.

Is this what a king of a country should say? actually mocked the prince on top of this early dynasty, simply, simply... I don't know what words to use to describe it!

"The son's ability is humble, and the son's minister is ashamed!" Zhao Haizhi endured his anger and could only kneel down and plead guilty.

Emperor Zhao said coldly: "Since your ability is humble, then I have to consider whether you are suitable to continue to be the crown prince!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were even more in an uproar.

Lei Jia, a high-ranking official in the middle of the book, came out of the ranks and said: "Your Majesty, now that there is a war at the border, you must not depose the prince, so as not to affect the morale of the army and the people and cause turmoil!" Please also think twice, if the words of the court are spread today, it will cause panic among the people! ”

The servant Yang Gong also came out and said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Lei said is reasonable, please think carefully about it!" ”

Many officials also came out to dissuade them.

When Emperor Zhao saw this scene, his suspicious character didn't know what to think.

After a while, Emperor Zhao smiled lightly and said, "I just lost my words, everyone Aiqing, get up." ”

Only then did the officials get up.

Emperor Zhao said again: "The dynasty will be here this morning, according to my order, send 200,000 troops to the south, and I will reverse the situation in the south!" ”

"Yes!" At this time, no one dared to refute.

The early dynasty ended, and the hundred officials retreated.

The crown prince Zhao Haizhi walked out of the main hall, looking at the rising sun in the east, and the clenched fist in his sleeve slowly loosened.

He has been a prince for 12 years, and he was better a few years ago, but now he is walking on thin ice. In order to keep his position as the crown prince, he did not hesitate to cooperate with Yan Xifeng, the prince of Yan State, and launched a war so that his father could not depose the crown prince, but now it seems that this result seems to have worked, but it has caused an even more unpredictable disaster.

At this moment, he deeply realized that if he didn't do something, the Qi Kingdom would most likely fall apart and not be far from destruction. And there is only one obstacle standing in his way, and that is his father.

Emperor Zhao returned to the imperial study, and his anger had not yet subsided, when the eunuch came and said that the six princes wanted to see him.

Emperor Zhao nodded, and summoned Zhao Kuangming, the sixth prince.

"The sons and daughters visited their father, and they came to greet their father." Zhao Kuangming said obediently.

Emperor Zhao also attached great importance to this second son, and the most important thing was that he was obedient, so he said: "The emperor has a heart, it would be great if the prince could be as well-behaved as you." ”

Zhao Kuangming said with a smile: "Father, the crown prince is the prince, and he is facing national affairs. ”

Emperor Zhao nodded and said, "You respect your brother, and this is better than the crown prince!" ”

A trace of coldness flashed in Zhao Kuangming's eyes, and then said: "Erchen's merits are not as good as one-tenth of the prince's, especially in terms of dealing with people, Erchen is not good at all." A few days ago, the prince held a banquet to entertain several ministers, but he was unintentionally touched by his sons, so he wanted to say hello, but he didn't want to say hello, but he disrupted the banquet. ”

Emperor Zhao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are the ministers invited by the prince?" ”

Zhao Kuangming pretended to be surprised and said, "Doesn't my father know? It seems that his father was too busy with state affairs, and General Che did not bother his father. ”

"Who else?" Zhao Huang immediately asked.

Zhao Kuangming said respectfully: "There are also Lord Lei, Lord Yang and Master Qu!" ”

Che Yue is the general of the Right Reserve Mansion, responsible for the guards in the palace, Lei Jia, Yang Gongyun and Qu Hehuan are the highest governors of the three provinces, the prince invited these four people, what will Emperor Zhao think?

At this moment, Emperor Zhao's face became extremely gloomy, he wouldn't think much about Zhao Kuangming's intention in saying these words, but only about what this prince wanted to do!

……

The royal palace outside the imperial capital of Yan Kingdom.

Since Yan Linglong's pregnant figure became more and more obvious, he found a reason to leave the Zhenguo Princess Mansion and come here to live.

She had to keep a low profile and be mysterious, and she couldn't let others know that she was pregnant, so she couldn't live in the city, and in order to find a suitable reason to come out, she specially designed it for a long time so that no one, especially Yan Xifeng, could suspect her.

A few months ago, she bribed the prison of Qin Tianjian.

Not long ago, Qin Tian Jian Zheng found an opportunity to tell Emperor Yan to observe the sky at night, and found that the Emperor Star was infected by the Yin Qi, which caused the Emperor Star to be dim, and he suspected that this was the cause of His Majesty's brain disease.

Subsequently, there were several cases of yin and yang decline in the imperial capital of Yan State, which made Emperor Yan have to believe it.

The solution given by Qin Tianjian is to ask the princess of Zhenguo to move to the palace outside the imperial capital, pray for His Majesty, and pray for the Yan Kingdom for four months.

Emperor Yan had the attitude of believing it rather than believing it, so he asked Yan Linglong to explain the matter, and Yan Linglong hesitated for a long time and agreed, which gave her the opportunity to live in the palace.

Now, it is her second month of living here, less than a month before she gives birth, and the fetus in her womb is normal. At this time, Yan Linglong exuded the brilliance of motherhood, making her face even more beautiful.

It was also because she lived here that she couldn't stay in the imperial capital to stop Yan Xifeng at any time, so Yan Xifeng's madness had a chance to take advantage of it, and now the situation in Yan Country has a serious crisis.

The northern border pass has the help of Xia State, so there is no need to worry about Zhao State attacking, and it is basically a peace of mind. But now in the south facing the war of Wei, there is a great crisis.

Because the Wei State had already stepped through the swamp and crossed this only natural danger, the Yan State did not hold this line of defense, and finally let the enemy kill it. And in this, it must be Yan Xifeng's conspiracy, it was he who lured the wolf into the house!

This is already the case, and Emperor Yan has no choice but to order the army to retreat three hundred miles, rely on the city to set up defenses, prevent the Wei army from going north, and begin to face the Wei State head-on.

Yan Linglong was also very anxious about the current situation, but she did not regret that she was pregnant, and in order to protect the child who was about to be born, he had already ordered the dead man to assassinate Yan Xifeng and was not ready to keep him.

It's a pity that Yan Xifeng is cunning, and the assassination of the dead man cannot succeed at all.

The assassination was delayed, Yan Xifeng continued to make trouble in the court, coupled with His Majesty's brain disease from time to time, the current Yan Kingdom is like a deep swamp, and it is difficult to get out.

Hua Zheng has been persuading Yan Linglong and wrote a letter to tell Xiao Rui that she was pregnant, but Yan Linglong has always refused, she is the princess of Yan Kingdom, she can't leave her country, she can't watch it go to destruction.

Touching her bulging belly, Yan Linglong muttered, "Wait another month, and you will be fine when you are born." ”
