When the imperial doctor came, Xiao Shaozong's face was as white as paper, and even his breathing was extremely weak.

After the imperial doctor came, Longtai immediately asked the imperial doctor to diagnose the disease, and diagnosed the prince in front of the emperor, the imperial physician naturally did not dare to be negligent, and carefully checked the pulse for Xiao Shaozong in the past, and after a while, beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the imperial doctor.

"How's it going?" Longtai asked in a deep voice.

The imperial physician knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the saint, the minister checked the pulse of the prince before, and the pulse at that time was already very chaotic, and the blood was ..... The blood is not smooth, and it is ..... right now! I wanted to say and stopped, but I didn't dare to continue.

"How's it going?"

The imperial doctor immediately said: "Right now, the prince's pulse is extremely weak, it seems that all the internal organs have been damaged, and the prince's complexion and eyes are also ..... They are also weak .....! ”

"Is there a cure?"

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the imperial doctor, but he didn't dare to raise his arm to wipe it, so he could only say: "The minister can only discuss with everyone in the imperial hospital, but ...... But the body of the prince is indeed ......! Raising his head slightly, he saw Longtai staring at him coldly, how dare he delay, and hurriedly said: "The body of the prince is already like a lamp that is about to go out, but I am afraid that it will ..... I'm afraid it won't last long. ”

"Rice bucket." Long Tai shouted angrily: "Get down, and then go to the imperial doctor." ”

Xiao Shaozong waved his hand and sighed: "Your Majesty, don't embarrass them. Waving to the imperial physician to retreat, the imperial physician bent over and left in embarrassment, Xiao Shaozong said: "Your Majesty, the minister will not live long, in fact.... That's not a bad thing. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about." Longtai's face was quite solemn.

Xiao Shaozong smiled bitterly: "There are some things that the minister shouldn't have said, but now like this, I don't know if I can see it again tomorrow." For many years, my father has always been thought to be trying to usurp the throne, even I, Xiao Shaozong, and some people will feel that they have bad intentions. If the minister is alive, I am afraid that there will be people who will use this matter to disturb the court, and even so, if the minister is not there, these troubles will not be there. ”

Long Tai said in a deep voice: "I didn't think about it like this. ”

"The emperor has been with his ministers since he was a child, and he knows that his ministers will not have such intentions, but there are many ill-intentioned people in the world, how do you know what they think?" Xiao Shaozong smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my Great Chu is not easy to come by, my ancestors came from bloody battles, and the ministers also thought about assisting the emperor to calm the world, but it's a pity...... This great cause of dominating the world will be borne by the emperor. He looked at Qi Ning and said, "Protector of the country, the emperor has high hopes for you, your brocade family is also the pillar of my Great Chu, and I hope you can assist the emperor to complete the great cause!" ”

Qi Ning arched his hand and said: "Assisting the emperor is a matter of duty, and you should do your best." The son of the world does not have to think too much, and if he rests a lot, he will definitely be healed. ”

Xiao Shaozong stood up, but he was obviously very weak, and seemed to be unsteady on his feet, and said with a smile: "It's not good, it's a day to live." Your Majesty, don't blame the minister for saying a word, eradicate Sima Lan, although it was a rape for the court, but Sima Lan designed to kill his father, and the minister can be regarded as avenging his father and doing his duty as a son of man. Saluted to Longtai, and said weakly: "Please retire first!" ”

Longtai immediately ordered someone to send Xiao Shaozong away.

Waiting for Xiao Shaozong to leave, Qi Ning said: "Your Majesty, the prince seems to be really ......!" ”

"I know." Long Tai sighed lightly: "If it weren't for him this time, I might not be able to get rid of Sima Lan." ”

"The layout this time is all planned by the prince?"

Long Tai bowed slightly: "This matter is not trivial, I can't discuss it with you, so I can only discuss it with him." In fact, I asked you to come here today to discuss the Northern Expedition, all the things of the Northern Expedition were handled by Sima Lan before, he died, but this matter cannot be put aside, just ......! He sighed: "He looks like this, how can I bear to let him continue to work." ”

Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Your Majesty, does the Duke of Yiguo know about this plan?" ”

"Yiguo Gong?" Long Tai was stunned, shook his head and said, "Naturally, I didn't let him know, why did you ask like this?" ”

When the imperial physician was treating Xiao Shaozong, Qi Ning had been thinking about whether Taihuang was also involved in the plan of this matter, and met with Taihuang that night, and Taihuang told Qi Ning of the most secret strategic plan of Great Chu, Qi Ning was still strange at the time, after all, Sima Lan was presiding over all the affairs of the Northern Expedition, even if he knew the plan, but there were constraints from Taihuang, and the military plan that Taihuang said could not be implemented.

At that time, it seemed that he had ignored Sima Lan's existence, and Qi Ning was not easy to mention at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that he had predicted Sima Lan's downfall.

"When I finally saw the righteous prince, the righteous prince had instructions to the ministers." Qi Ning said in a low voice: "The purpose of the Northern Expedition is not the Northern Han, but ..... Dongqi! ”

Long Tai didn't look surprised, and said with his head bowed: "Since the Duke of Yiguo has already told you, I can also talk to you directly." Before starting to prepare for the Northern Expedition, Yiguo Gong gave me a secret fold, in fact, Yi Guogong began to make plans when the Eastern Qi mission sent his relatives over. According to the estimation of Yiguo Gong, if there is enough money and food, Beitangqing has passed away, then we have a sixty percent chance of winning, but even if the money and food are sufficient, as long as Beitangqing is alive, our chances of winning are less than fifty percent, or even .....! ”

He didn't continue, but his brows were locked together.

"Although preparations have been made, and a lot of property has been seized from the East China Sea and put into storage, we are far from having enough money and food." Qi Ning also looked solemn: "At this time, the Northern Expedition is not a small risk. ”

Longtai said: "Yes, whether it is the Northern Han or my Great Chu, they can't afford a loss, if it is really the Northern Expedition, it is a big gamble, the bet is this world, I can't take risks easily." After thinking about it, he said: "I want to go on a northern expedition, there are at least two things to prepare, the first is that the treasury is sufficient, even if the Northern Han is in a stalemate, we have enough money and food to support it." The other is to be sure to figure out whether Beitangqing is dead or alive. ”

Qi Ning had already heard of Beitangqing's reputation and knew that it was the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty, but Taihuang and Longtai had shown jealousy of Beitangqing, which shows that Beitangqing is indeed the most feared role in Da Chu.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Shenhou Mansion also has spies in the Northern Han Dynasty, didn't they inquire about the whereabouts of Beitangqing?"

Long Tai shook his head and said: "Beitangqing seems to have suddenly evaporated from the world, even if it is from the Beihan side, no one knows his whereabouts." He returned to his seat, pondered, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Yiguo Gong is right, the Northern Han Dynasty is not a country of rapid death, and we can't be in a hurry, but the civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty, such a good opportunity, even if we can't go on the Northern Expedition, but at this time, if we can really take the Eastern Qi, it will have an immeasurable effect on the great cause of the Northern Expedition of our Great Chu in the future." ”

"General Yue doesn't seem to know the emperor's great strategy." Qi Ning said: "If the battle suddenly changes its strategy, will it catch General Yue and the soldiers on the front line off guard?" ”

"So the righteous prince recommended that you implement this plan." Long Tai lowered his voice and said: "Yue Huanshan doesn't know that our goal is Eastern Qi, and the front-line soldiers naturally don't know, so that they can confuse the Northern Han and Eastern Qi people." When the time comes, you can cross the Huai River, you can give Yue Huanshan a secret decree, when the time comes, you lead a surprise army to raid the Eastern Qi, the East China Sea Division, will also quickly go north, and the land and water armies will launch an offensive against the Eastern Qi at the same time......! His eyes were like knives, and his voice was low: "At that time, the main force of Eastern Qi has already sent troops to the Northern Han Dynasty, and the country is empty, as long as you can quickly control all the dangerous places in Eastern Qi, it will be too late for the main force of Eastern Qi to return to help, and Yue Huanshan will take the main force of the Qinhuai Army to transfer to Eastern Qi at that time, as long as it is well coordinated and carefully deployed, it is enough to defeat the main force of Eastern Qi with one blow." ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that this plan was formulated by Taihuang himself, and it was really unexpected, and it was indeed a little vicious.

"What does the emperor mean, the minister wants to go to the front?"

Long Tai said with a smile: "Your Jinyi Qi family is my military family of Great Chu, I want to give you the opportunity to make contributions, are you still unwilling?" ”

"Not really." Qi Ning sighed: "The minister is just worried that he has no experience, and when the time comes, it will ruin the emperor's affairs." ”

"There are a lot of veterans who fought on the battlefield on the Black Scale Battalion, and when the time comes, if you take them with you and listen to their experience, you won't have any big baskets." Longtai said: "This plan is to take it by surprise, as long as it can be done, it is not difficult to attack Eastern Qi, the Northern Han Dynasty is in civil strife, and we are worried that we will die with them, if we go to Eastern Qi instead, although they are unwilling, they are also powerless to intervene in this matter." ”

"I understand." Qi Ning said: "Wherever the emperor points out, the ministers will hit." After a pause, he said softly: "Your Majesty, if the queen knows about this.....!" ”

Long Tai was silent for a while before he said: "Naturally, it is impossible for her to know a trace of rumors about this matter, and for the sake of peace in the world, I can only stand up to her." He seemed to be a little annoyed, waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this, I heard that you are about to get married?" ”

"The date has been set, and it will be the twentieth of this month." Qi Ning said.

Long Tai said: "Then there are still ten days, after the affairs of the righteous prince are done, you will also do the marriage as soon as possible." I am a few months ahead of you, and when the time comes, I will see who can give birth to the child. ”

Qi Ning hurriedly said: "The emperor is wise and martial, so he is naturally a gentleman." ”

"What does having a child have to do with Wise Shenwu?" Longtai scolded with a smile: "I'm a little tired, you .....!" Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice outside the door: "Queen Mother, the emperor really has something, the Queen Mother .....!" ”

When Qi Ning heard this, he frowned, glanced at Longtai, and saw that Longtai's face also sank.

The Queen Mother had already come in from outside the door at this time, glanced at it, and walked straight to Longtai, Qi Ning stepped forward and saluted: "The minister greets the Queen Mother!" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Qi Ning, snorted coldly, stared at Longtai, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, this palace heard rumors that the Sima family is going to rebel, and the emperor will punish him, is this true or false?" ”(https:)
