"My father taught all the princes from an early age to be diligent in government and self-denial, to put the country first in everything, and if one day I can stand in that position, I must spend my whole life and be a good king." Nan Jin said while reminiscing, with a hint of a confused smile on his face, "This palace always remembers the teachings of my father during his lifetime, reflects on himself every day, and does not dare to cross the line at all!" ”

"Since the prince can have such ambitions, he will vow to become a generation of Ming monarchs in the future, as long as it is for the good of Cangyun Country, as for who it is, why should the prince go too deep?"

Ji Yun smiled and turned around, crossed the bauhinia, and broke a bunch of white sunflowers, "It's like you and I are walking here at this time, a hundred flowers are blooming, and the aftertaste is endless...... But it's just a walk to find fragrance, so why be too persistent, you have to figure out which kind of flower is better, which kind of flower is more fragrant? Wouldn't it be nice to have a taste? ”

"However, if you want to have a stronger fragrance of flowers in the coming year, if you don't know which one it is, how can you eliminate miscellaneous and choose the best?" Nanjin took a few steps and stood across from her, looking straight at her. "National teacher, this palace really wants to know."

Ji Yun smiled for a moment, and only after a long time did she raise her eyes, her lips moved, "The emperor said on his deathbed that the crown prince is gentle, the fifth prince is good at fighting, the sixth prince is weak, the seventh prince is lazy, the eighth prince is disabled, the eleventh prince is arrogant, and the thirteenth prince is still young...... If you can make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, the strength of Cangyun Country will be just around the corner! ”

Nanjin looked at her in a daze: "......"

"Your Highness, in terms of intelligence, you are not lost to any of the princes, but the emperor thinks that you are still too weak, what the monarch wants is not blind modesty, and sometimes, he has to go to a coercive domineering means.

Those in high positions should not think about how to convince others, but also how to tame everyone and submit to themselves.

Your Royal Highness, perhaps, you can listen to the emperor's kind words before his death, and try to change it, and the emperor's spirit in the sky will rest more peacefully. ”

Nan Jin was silent for a long time before he came back to his senses in a trance, "Father, he ...... What else was said? ”

Ji Yunxiao shook his head, "The emperor just said this, but although His Royal Highness will ascend the throne as the emperor tomorrow, the emperor has a heart disease that he can't let go, and he hopes that His Royal Highness can resolve it for him after he ascends the throne." ”

"Father has a heart disease?" Nan Jin suddenly had some doubts, he remembered that his father had always been very vigorous and generous during his lifetime, and he was focused on state affairs, and he didn't have any worries and sorrows at all. "That'...... What is it that makes my father so concerned? ”

"It's the second prince."

"Second Emperor Uncle?!" Nan Jin was shocked!

"A month ago, the second prince eloped with the best daughter of Cangyun Country, and there has been no news since then, although the emperor does not say it on the surface, but he has been relieved in his heart. The second prince is used to playing in the mountains and rivers, although he was born in the royal family, but his personality is quite straightforward, the emperor hopes that the prince can find the second prince as soon as possible, and tell the second prince that the emperor has forgiven him, and he doesn't have to hide everywhere anymore. ”

"Hongu knows." Nan Jin is also very confused about this second uncle who has erratic whereabouts and a strange temper, after all, he is a prince, even if his father does not explain, he will find people back.

"The emperor has only said so much, is there anything else the prince wants to know?"

Ji Yun smiled generously and told him, who knew that at this time, Nan Jin, but he shook his head resolutely, "When my father leaves, is it painful?" ”

"Before leaving, the emperor talked about His Royal Highness's queen mother, and he missed her very much, so he walked very happily."

"That's good, that's good......" Nan Jin's eyes couldn't help but moisten, "If the mother concubine can see her father down there, she will definitely be very happy." ”

Ji Yunxiao frowned, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but take things out of his sleeve, "Your Highness, some time ago when I returned to China, I came back to China one after another, and I almost missed the business, this is the golden cicada I got from the Nine Kings' Mansion." ”

"You got it?" Nan Jin was shocked, in fact, he just pointed out a more difficult task at random, compared to obtaining this thing, his original purpose was to leave people in Yeyang Kingdom, to avoid the complicated and urgent period in the palace.

However, he never expected that she would actually get it!

"The Nine Princes of Yeyang Kingdom are unfathomable, and there are many organs in the mansion, how did you get in, and how did you enter the palace and get this thing against all odds?" Being able to defeat the Nine Princes of the Yeyang Kingdom is simply a thing that is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

This surprised him at the same time, but he had to be impressed by the people in front of him!

Ji Yunxiao shook his head, obviously not wanting to mention too much about the past month.

So he said with a serious expression, "Your Highness, a month ago, Emperor Jiushu sent troops to Cangyun Kingdom, not simply because of the loss of face, but to ask for an explanation for himself!"

Emperor Jiushu is prepared! ”

"Why are you so sure?"

"During my time in Yeyang Kingdom, I got into the Nine Kings' Mansion by chance, and I also became a guard next to Emperor Jiushu. I had seen an account book in his hand, which clearly recorded the expenses of the sergeants on the border of Yeyang in previous years.

I carefully compared the military supplies on it and found that it was recorded in detail on several occasions that the border was recruiting troops and horses in large quantities and transporting weapons, grain and grass.

Therefore, I deduce that the last time Cangyun Kingdom and Yeyang Kingdom fought, it was no accident, the first good girl in Cangyun Country was just an excuse, Emperor Jiushu's real purpose was to send troops to Cangyun Country, annex the city, and pull the entire Cangyun across the country! ”

"What did you say?!" Nanjin was shocked when she heard this! If it is really as she said, then the ambition of the Nine Princes is too strong!

What's more, Emperor Yun has just died, and the new emperor has not stabilized, if at this time, he leads his troops to attack, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable!

Ji Yunxiao saw Nan Jin's thoughts at a glance, pursed his lower lip, and said with relief: "Don't worry, the prince returned to China this time, and it was from his hands that I escaped by luck, Emperor Jiushu was hit hard by me at that time, and his life hung by a thread, although there is no news of the death of the ninth prince in Yeyangguo now, but if you want to completely recuperate, I'm afraid it will take a while!"

Therefore, during this time, His Royal Highness has enough time to go down the river safely, and then discuss the future with the border generals in the long run, and be prepared this morning in case of emergency! ”

"The national teacher has always been relieved to do things, but it's just ...... The soldiers of Cangyun Kingdom are accustomed to the warm world in the south, and they have long been slack in preparing for war, even if they take precautions in advance, when they face the attack of the Yeyang Kingdom's army, they are only afraid that they are not opponents and will not be able to hold on. ”

Nanjin's concerns are not unfounded. He is right, Cangyun Country has excellent climate and terrain, and the people in it are easy to develop inertia over the years, and if they want to step up their training in such a short period of time, they can't remedy their weaknesses!

"It's better to prepare too early than to be weak and ready for battle, and Your Highness had better prepare in advance." Even if he fights hard, Ji Yunxiao firmly believes that there is still a glimmer of life, not to mention, "I stole from Emperor Jiushu and dispatched nearly half of the soldiers on the border, so in terms of quantity, Cangyun Country has an advantage." ”

Her words suddenly woke up Nan Jin, and he smiled, "The national teacher is worthy of being a national teacher, strategizing and telling fortunes with fortunes, it is indeed much stronger than this palace!" ”

Ji Yunxiao didn't speak, and handed the golden cicada over, but Nan Jin didn't answer.

She couldn't help but be curious, only to see Nan Jin shake her head and say with a serious expression, "This thing is still held by the national teacher." ”

"Why?" Once the two countries are at war, this thing is the last hope of Cangyun Kingdom, and he doesn't have it himself, how can he keep it in his hands?

Seeing that her expression was even more puzzled, Nan Jin opened her mouth to explain, "This palace will tell the national teacher a secret, in fact, the almost ordinary military talisman that can mobilize the border of Yeyang Country was lost in the hands of the Nine Princes of Yeyang Country a few years ago. ”

"Your Highness is saying that this is a fake talisman?!" Ji Yunxiao's face changed, she always thought that the thing that Emperor Jiushu was guarding was what the prince wanted to find, and her eyes were cold, "A fake talisman, if it is debunked by Emperor Jiushu on the spot, it will not be able to mobilize the opponent's forces at all." In this way, there is no difference between getting this thing and not getting it! ”

Ji Yunxiao was a little discouraged, no...... More to say, angry!

She tried her best to sneak into Di Jiushu's side, endure humiliation, and did so much, but in the end, she was told that what she had obtained with all her strength was a fake thing and worthless!

This made her indifferent!

"Not necessarily." Nan Jin said suddenly and mysteriously.

Ji Yun smiled and became a little confused, "I don't understand what His Highness means." ”

A fake talisman, in the hands of Emperor Jiushu, was because those soldiers didn't know that the real talisman had been lost, so he was confused for so long.

However, once it is in her hands, when she waits for the critical moment of love, as soon as she takes it out, if Di Jiushu debunks it on the spot, it will be time!

It was a fatal wound to both her and Cangyun Kingdom!

"You only know that this talisman is fake, but you don't know the mystery hidden in it." Nan Jin smiled unhurriedly, and said unhurriedly, pointing to the thumb-sized talisman in her hand.

"Mystery?" Ji Yun smiled and pinched the small thing, flipped it left and right on the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully, but he didn't find the slightest bit of the mystery that Nan Jin's mouth said.

"This fake talisman was made by the Nine Princes a few years ago by the world's first craftsman, Shenguzi.

Thirty years ago, the Changchun Kingdom was facing the doom of being annexed by the Cangyun Kingdom, at that time, although the first emperor won the battle, but when he attacked the palace of the Changchun Kingdom, there was not a single treasure found in the huge palace.

At that time, a rumor began to circulate among the people.

said yes, the monarch of Changchun at that time knew that he was about to face the fate of the country, so he had secretly transported all the jewels in the palace in advance.

At that time, as the first craftsman in the Changchun Palace, Shenguzi naturally took on the heavy responsibility of guarding the treasure. ”
