He used to always feel that compared to him, Qin Niang loved the Yang family's relatives more, or perhaps, she never loved him at all, so he did some extreme things out of control and wanted to forcibly tie her to his side.

But she never thought that this would make her betray her relatives and thus repulsion him even more.

"Forget it, it's all over, you can't be sorry for me in the future, otherwise, I will really take you off without hesitation, and then take my daughter back to her parents' house." Qin Niang leaned on his shoulder and said solemnly.

With the experience of her previous life, she can't be as stupid as she was in her previous life, she can love him, and she can give her life for her, but she won't give in again and again for him, if he loses her, she will give it up.

"No, in this life, in the next life, in the next life, I, Gu Chen, will only recognize you as a person, and I will never fail you." Gu Chen held her hand and said with a solemn face.

Qin Niang nodded, she thought, this life is different after all.

Three months later, the emperor officially canonized the third prince Song Yu as the crown prince, and the fourth princess Song Ru was given to marry Guo Congwen, the second son of the king of Zhenbei, and the marriage was completed after the year.

For this reason, those officials who have daughters in the court have begun to enliven their minds again, and now the overall situation of Donglin has been decided, and anyone can see that as long as Song Yu does not make a big mistake, then it is a sure thing to become the new emperor in the future.

Moreover, the emperor's body is getting weaker and weaker, and if he dies one day, then Song Yu will immediately succeed to the throne, and the future is almost bright.

Who wouldn't want to climb such a big tree?

However, everyone also knew in their hearts that because of the previous incident between the Yan family and the Wen family, the emperor became more cautious about the selection of the crown princess, and if they were too eager, they might be rejected by the emperor.

Therefore, those people only dare to make all kinds of small calculations in their hearts, but they dare not show it openly.

For these things, Gu Chen has nothing to do with himself, and he is just a free businessman now, and he doesn't want to get involved in these things in the DPRK and China at all.

But just because he doesn't care doesn't mean that others will give him purity.

Those officials in the court knew that although Gu Chen had resigned, his words still carried weight in front of the emperor, and besides, his brother-in-law Yang Hong was still in front of the emperor, so those officials would go to the mansion to find him under the pretext that they had business to talk to him about.

At first, Gu Chen was still patiently receiving them, but gradually became impatient: "I'm just a businessman, I don't care about anything other than silver, if you want to know something else, you should personally ask Your Majesty for your kindness, forgive Gu Mou for not being able to entertain." ”

As he spoke, no matter how stiff those people's faces were, they directly blasted people out.

How many pairs of eyes stared at the gate of Gu Mansion, those people were blasted out, and they were naturally seen, so those who originally wanted to go to Gu Mansion the next day to explore the wind also retreated.

They almost forgot that Gu Ergongzi's temper was not good, if he talked about business with him, he could still show some patience, if he wanted to talk to him about something else, it really depended on his mood.

Those who touched the ashes of the nose really didn't dare to make fire, and just left stupidly.

However, after all, there was no one who dared to run to the emperor to tempt, so after the initial restlessness, those people also calmed down.

Because, if anyone can't calm down at this time, it will be clear that they will be targeted by the emperor, and no one wants to leave a bad impression on the emperor, so even if they want to marry their own girl to Song Yu, they have to force themselves to calm down.

They thought that when the fourth princess got married, the emperor should always think about the prince's marriage, even if the man could discuss the marriage later, but after all, the prince's sisters were married, and it should be his brother's turn.

So, those people waited and waited until Song Ru married into the Zhenbei Wangfu in the beginning of spring, and three years passed in a blink of an eye, but the emperor still didn't give any hint about the selection of the crown princess.

And so the people began to stir again.

But at this moment, an urgent report came from the border pass, and three horses with an urgent delay of 800 miles rushed to the palace one after the other.

"King Huai colluded with the Northern Regions, Miaojiang, Xishu, and Nanyue to rebel, and has now lost the land of the three continents, and I hope that Your Majesty will send troops to support as soon as possible."

The young generals were all dusty servants, kneeling on the ground in unison, taking out a military report from their arms, raising their hands above their heads, and their faces were anxious.

"What?" When the emperor heard this, Song Huai colluded with the enemy country to seek to return, he was so angry that he didn't come up in one breath, and sat back on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't be angry, don't be angry." Gonggong Pei was busy giving him a breath, and shouted outside at the same time, "Quick, quickly pass on the imperial doctor." ”

A small chamberlain ran out quickly.

The three young generals all looked anxious, and wanted to get up, but they didn't get orders and didn't dare, so they could only kneel there anxiously.

The emperor was relieved, he grabbed the dragon case with both hands, gritted his teeth and said, "Pass on the prince." ”

Gonggong Pei responded, and hurriedly ordered someone to pass Song Yu to the imperial study.

After a short time, the imperial physician and Song Yu arrived at the imperial study almost one after the other, and after the salute, the imperial physician gave the emperor a few stitches, and the few young generals kneeling on the ground also repeated the situation at the border again.

Song Yu tightened his brows, he really didn't expect that Song Huai would collude with the enemy country in order to make a comeback, and it was several countries attacking the east from all sides.

"Father, there is a prince of Zhenbei in the northern region guarding him, I believe that when he comes to his senses, he will think of regaining the lost territory, there is no need to worry over there, and there is also Fang Hao to assist, there is no shortage of generals over there, and there is also a shortage of weapons, and on the South Vietnamese side, you can send Cheng An to wait there."

Song Yu analyzed the situation with a solemn face, twisted his eyebrows and said: "The most difficult thing is Xishu and Miaojiang, although these two countries are small, but they have now formed an alliance and joined a line, and the people of Miaojiang are already good at poison, and it is a little difficult to defend there, otherwise, Erchen will personally lead the troops to pacify them." ”

As soon as he spoke, the emperor resolutely interrupted him: "No! He took two breaths, and said with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, "You are now the prince of the Mindong Palace, you can't go out lightly, if there is anything in case, won't the Donglin Kingdom be in chaos?" My body is getting worse day by day, and you must not let the capital be chaotic at this time. ”

The war can be said to be a bad date, and it will take three or five years to fight, but where can the emperor's body survive for three or five years?

Although the emperor was very unwilling to hand over his imperial power at this age, he also knew that now that Song Yu was the best candidate, he no longer had the energy to cultivate a little prince and teach him to become an adult.

Once he falls, and the crown prince is not in the capital, then the capital will inevitably be in chaos.

"However, father, except for the sons, there is no one who knows more about Miaojiang and Xishu than the sons." Song Yu was also very distressed, at this time, Song Huai united several countries to launch a joint attack on Donglin, if there was no opponent who knew them well enough to deal with them, I was afraid that Donglin would soon fall.

If he allowed the enemy army to drive straight in, what was the point of him as a prince? When the time comes, the kingdom will die, what is the point of still occupying this name?

"Recruit all the generals in Beijing into the palace." The emperor's eyes sank and he said.

Father-in-law Pei answered, and immediately went out to make arrangements.

"You guys are flat." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered that those people were still kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Several people got up and stepped aside.

The emperor did not let them retreat, after all, it was only when they made it clear about the situation in various parts of the border.

After a long time, Cheng Anhou and General Fang and others were ushered in, and after they saluted, the emperor did not say a word, and told them about the situation in various places at the border pass, and asked: "How many of you, who can lead the troops out to support?" ”

Because the enemy has already captured several of their continental cities, if there is no capable general to lead troops to help, I am afraid that even I will have to take it myself.

"Your Majesty, the ministers over there in South Vietnam can go, and I'm afraid that before that, I will have to urgently recruit troops, otherwise, I am afraid that these soldiers and horses in the capital will not be enough." Cheng Anhou said with a solemn face.

"The military department is now in charge of you, this matter still has to be handled by you, I don't have to worry about others doing this, the southwest side is not in a hurry, you can settle down the things in Beijing before leaving." The emperor said, and looked around at the several generals present, "The most difficult thing now is Miao Jiang and Xishu, which of you can go?" ”

General Fang clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the minister in the Northern Regions can go, and that side is the minister's old opponent, but on the Miaojiang side, the minister is not very familiar with it, and he does not dare to trade." ”

The emperor's gaze turned from General Fang to another general, and the general immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not the material for the commander, you know, the minister can only be a helper for General Fang at most, play a striker, and be in charge, I'm afraid it is not capable enough." ”

The emperor's eyes sank, and then he turned to another person, who shook his body and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has never fought with the people of Miaojiang, and the minister is afraid that he will not be able to do it." ”

Seeing this, General Helian, who was hiding behind the people, also hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the old minister is unwilling to serve the country, but that the minister is old, and the dog has just come of age, I'm afraid that he can't do it, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

Helian Chi is almost ten years old before he is old enough to have a son, and now his son has not yet reached the weak crown, and he has no experience, so he is indeed not suitable to be in command.

The emperor's eyes looked around the crowd, and found that they were either old or crippled, and there was really no half of them that were of the best use.

"Isn't there anyone who can deal with those Miao people?" The Emperor clenched his fists and said.

At this time, a person spoke: "Yes, Your Majesty, there is a recommendation from the minister." ”
