In the Beijing Examination Examination fraud case, the prince made a beautiful turnaround, and from the previous obscurity, he became the favorite prince of Emperor Liang today; In contrast, King Xiang, the once popular man in front of Emperor Liang, was not allowed to enter the palace once within half a month after the end of the fraud case. Emperor Liang, who was absent from the official position in the six ministries, listened to the recommendation of the prince and Cai Quan, and the new officials were quickly filled in place, which greatly enhanced the strength of the prince's party in the government.

"Father, Yinzhou has been occupied by the Tang Dynasty for nine years, and it is also the people of my father and my Daliang, and my sons and sons implore my father to send troops to recover it!" On this day, the crown prince took the lead again, and Cai Quan was quite surprised as soon as he opened his mouth. The matter of recovering Yinzhou was rashly proposed without consulting him in advance, Cai Quan was quite unhappy in his heart, and he looked up at Emperor Liang's face.

Emperor Liang said with great interest: "I have never forgotten for a moment to recover the lost land, but the Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, and our main forces are deployed in the northwest, has the prince ever thought about it?" ”

"Yinzhou is the gateway to the south, and now it is forcibly occupied by the Tang Dynasty, which not only cuts off my access to the sea but also threatens the safety of the southwest granary, and it is inevitable to recover Yinzhou for the country and the people!"

The prince's generous statement made Emperor Liang not without heart, the loss of Yinzhou is said to be a big failure of Emperor Liang in this life, as time goes by, Emperor Liang is getting old, this heart disease is getting heavier and heavier, he is unwilling to be evaluated by later generations as a cowardly and incompetent monarch, the prince proposed to regain the lost land at this time just hit his heart disease.

"The minister agrees with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's proposal, but after all, the use of force involves a lot of national strength, so it needs to be considered in the long run." Cai Quan read the content behind Emperor Liang's expression, at this moment he must be on the side of the main battle, and at the same time, it can be regarded as a reminder to the crown prince.

The crown prince seemed to be confident, and continued: "In the past nine years, the treasury of my Daliang has been far more abundant than it was at the beginning, and the retainers have gone to the household department to check the accounts before, and the treasury can maintain the military needs for at least a year after the necessary expenses are removed; In terms of troops, in addition to the Xuanjia Army in Mobei, the defenders of the Jingshi, the Imperial Forest Army, and General Shen's Chiwei Army, there are still Guangyuan troops to be mobilized. As for the generals, General Yang Jie is naturally competent. ”

"Erchen also agrees with the prince's opinion, Yinzhou should be recovered, and the treasury and troops also have a chance of winning, but the choice of this general still has to be considered again, General Yang Jie is already old after all, if he fights for a long time, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it." King Xiang's agreement with the prince's opinion made the prince more determined.

"Father, my son is willing to lead the troops there!" King Yu strode out of the column and asked loudly.

"If you go to attack Yinzhou, do you want to take the Xuanjia Army away? Once the Xuanjia Army is gone, what will Mobei do? Emperor Liang asked.

"Father, the north of Yinzhou is the mountain, the south is the town of the Tang Dynasty, and the middle happens to be a horse Pingchuan, although the mountain is not high, but the mountain road is long and narrow, and the thorns are riddled, which is not conducive to the army to cross, so the sons plan to draw people in the cold knife, rusty chela, and golden armor, and at the same time join forces with Annan Thorn Shi Chen Jiale."

"Father, the son has heard King Yu say this plan before, and the son also agrees, south of the mountain is Annan, Annan assassin Shi Chen Jiale has been sticking to the Tang Dynasty for nine years, and has not taken the initiative to send troops, so the cavalry will be sent by Annan. The four brothers' 10,000 personal soldiers are lightly armed and simple, even if they come from Mobei, it will only take seven days to arrive in Annan, and the soldiers are very fast, just enough to be caught off guard! When the prince said this, his eyes seemed to see the dawn of recovering Yinzhou. King Yu remained silent, and he didn't intend to debunk the prince's trick so bluntly.

Emperor Liang looked at Cao Zijing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, "Does Cao Aiqing think this plan is feasible?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's strategy is very thorough, and the minister thinks it is feasible. At the same time, His Royal Highness King Yu personally led the troops, which increased the chances of victory. Cao Zijing blatantly slapped the prince's ass, but no one corrected the minister of civil and military affairs, even King Ling was happy to watch the play on the sidelines.

Emperor Liang was reassured: "The crown prince and King Yu are worthy of being my good sons!" It's just that you're going to have to work hard again. ”

"It is the duty of a son to serve the country!"

Emperor Liang looked at the prince and the king of Yu with kind eyes, and the king of Xiang said in time: "The plan of the prince and the king of Yu is very good, and the ministers are willing to be the reserve of the front army, and the general needs to be responsible for the end." ”

"The materials for the march and war are indispensable, and this matter is entrusted to King Xiang, I am very relieved."

"Thank you father, my son will do his best!"

"King Yu, do you have a final conclusion on the candidate for the deputy general?"

Seeing that Emperor Liang asked him, King Yu replied: "Chen Jiale, the assassin of Annan, can be a candidate for deputy general." ”

"Father, there is one of the sons who wants to recommend!" Seeing the crown prince, King Yu, and King Xiang showing their faces in front of Emperor Liang, King Ling finally couldn't sit still, "An He of the Chiwei Battalion has always been brave in battle. ”

Cao Zijing clearly objected: "An He has also heard of this person, he has more courage than enough strategy, and he is only a captain, if he is a lieutenant, he is afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

"It makes sense, who is qualified according to Cao Aiqing?"

"The minister thinks that Yang Zhong is up to the task, he is the son of the old general Yang Jie, and the deputy commander of the Guangyuan Army, there is an old general Yang in the northwest to ensure that there is no worries, and his son to serve as the deputy general is also a kind of praise for the old general."

"Makes sense! I decided that King Feng Yu would be the general, and Yang Zhong, the commander of the Guangyuan Army, would be the deputy general of the left and right sides, and set out to recover Yinzhou three days later! ”

King Yu returned to the palace without stopping for a moment, and asked everyone to gather in the hall, and he wrote a letter in the study, carefully sealed it and handed it to Uncle Zhang: "Let them send it to Yecang City quickly!" ”

When King Yu came to the hall, he didn't even have time to change the court clothes on his body, "The saint has decided to recover Yinzhou, I am the general in this battle, and I have written to Lu Xiang and Tong Xin; Rust Cheate War Thunder Department; Once they arrived, we could march to Annam, where we would concentrate with the forces of Yang Zhong's commander and Chen Jiale. Shaoning, you, as the centurion of the Cold Knife, go with me. ”

"Yes!"

It would take three days to rush from Yecang City to Jingshi, and the big war was imminent, so Xuan Shaoning's original plan to go to Qingshan Academy had to be put on hold for the time being, and he could only say goodbye to a few friends first.

"When will you leave?"

"In two days."

Qi Wantong was about to call the servant to serve the food, but Xuan Shaoning hurriedly dissuaded: "No need, I always eat and drink for nothing here with you, I still don't want to go, and I'm not hungry today." ”

Isn't that a sign of such rhetoric? Since you don't want to, I won't force it, but don't you have the heart, Shaoyin, Su Qian, and silently say goodbye to them? ”

"Shaoyin and Qingyuan went to the household department to report, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to pull out for a while, and Ke Ran was in the Imperial Forest Guard, and it was inconvenient to come out to meet at will, I hope you will convey it to them after I leave, but Su Qian and Kexin ......"

"Look at my memory! Su Qian had already left Jingshi to purchase a few days ago, but she was the most anxious, and as soon as the list was re-released, she hurriedly went back to the academy to report the good news. ”

"It's a pity that I can't go to see the Master."

"What are you worried about!"

"That's right, then I'll go first."

Xuan Shaoning was about to turn around and go downstairs, Qi Wantong grabbed his arm, his cheeks became crimson unconsciously, and he changed his usual cool and generous style to become a little woman, "Will Zhengyuan also go with him in this battle?" ”

"Yes!"

"I heard that the incense of Tianfu Temple in the capital has been very strong, and you might as well go when the war is about to start, I know you don't believe this, but just help me pray for Zhengyuan."

Xuan Shaoning nodded knowingly, "I promise you." ”

"Annan is where the Bai family takes root, and at that time, Sister Luo Yao may have the opportunity to meet you, and it is inevitable that you will be injured in the war, and the medicine of the Bai family is naturally good. Of course, he has outstanding martial arts skills, so don't worry, you'll be fine! Qi Wantong didn't say any more, but let go of Xuan Shaoning's hand and went downstairs by herself.

Looking at Qi Wantong's back, Xuan Shaoning sighed, and didn't know if Shi Gong Zhengyuan, a cold young man, could appreciate her intentions. And the name "Bai Luoyao" hit Xuan Shaoning's heart again, and the memory of this name was immediately reawakened, and now she is okay?

Tianfu Temple is in the north of Jingshi, far away from the imperial city and the Guoren area, which is also the meaning of quiet in the middle of the noise. As the national temple of the Great Liang, Emperor Liang will come to Tianfu Temple every year to pray for blessings, usually the royal nobles, dignitaries and nobles will also come from time to time, so that Tianfu Temple is famous, and the incense is prosperous.

The streets leading to Tenfukuji Temple are lined with shops and tourists. Xuan Shaoning came to the front of Tianfu Temple through the flow of people, a tall white jade archway was erected in front of him, engraved with "Tianfu Temple" three strong big characters, through the plaque is a row of stone steps that can not be seen at a glance, this is the famous Tianfu Temple ninety-nine stone steps, anyone who wants to go to Tianfu Temple to pray for blessings, whether it is the Son of Heaven or civilians must walk through these ninety-nine stone steps.

"Sure enough, it's extraordinary!" Xuan Shaoning sighed, these ninety-nine stone steps are not a problem for a person like him who practices martial arts, and it didn't take much effort to reach the main hall of Tianfu Temple. In front of the main hall, the copper tripod that can fit ten adult men is filled with incense and candles, and the smoke is filled, and many good men and women are kowtowing and worshipping, and there are words in their mouths.

There are three stone statues enshrined in the main hall, respectively, the god of war, the god of wealth, and the Buddha who sent the child, which is in line with the general trend of the world today, the war is frequent, the treasury is not surplus, and the population is not prosperous, and people will pin the hope of change on the body of the god and Buddha.

Xuan Shaoning also took out the silver to buy incense and candles, knelt in front of the Buddha statue and prayed silently: I hope that Yinzhou can be successfully recovered this time, and there will be as few casualties as possible, especially Zhengyuan can be unharmed. Just as Xuan Shaoning got up, he saw a familiar goose yellow in the crowd, the woman wearing a veil and a slender figure, was leaving the temple accompanied by a maid.

"Could it be ......." Xuan Shaoning hurriedly followed, his footsteps were much faster than the woman, but when he approached, he didn't dare, so he had to follow quietly behind her, until he finished the ninety-nine stone steps and came to the archway, there seemed to be a sedan chair waiting not far away, and Xuan Shaoning understood that if he didn't make a move, he would have no chance.

"This girl!"

After the woman paused for a moment, she turned her head, although the veil covered most of her face, but Xuan Shaoning's bright eyes saw it clearly.

"Princess Yunxuan?"

"It's you!" The woman took off her veil, and sure enough, it was Princess Yunxuan, the pearl of Emperor Liang's palm, "I know you, I saw you at my father's palace banquet, you are the guard next to my fourth brother." ”

Xuan Shaoning didn't expect Princess Yunxuan to remember herself at all, "It is here, the princess also came to Tianfu Temple to pray for blessings when she left the palace this time?" ”

"Aren't we going to go to war against the Tang Dynasty, we want to recover Yinzhou, but war will always cause human suffering, I am here to pray for fewer casualties."

I didn't expect Princess Yunxuan's request to be so similar to herself, Xuan Shaoning's heart was very warm, looking at a pair of sparkling smart eyes, and righteousness surged up for a while, "I have thanked the princess for the common people in the world!" ”

Unexpectedly, Princess Yunxuan smiled, "You? How can you replace the people in the world, if you think you are also going to the battlefield, then this talisman will be given to you. Princess Yunxuan took out a yellow peace charm from her sleeve and handed it to Xuan Shaoning.

Xuan Shaoning couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Princess Daliang to give him a peace charm!

Princess Yunxuan saw that Xuan Shaoning was delayed, and said a little angrily: "What? Don't want to? ”

Xuan Shaoning woke up from his dream and hurriedly took it with both hands, "How dare you, I never thought that the princess would give me this peace charm!" ”

Princess Yunxuan took a step closer and whispered, "Because I want you to return safely." Then he turned and trotted into the sedan chair.

Seeing that the sedan chair gradually disappeared into the crowd, Xuan Shaoning was still looking at it stupidly, and he couldn't move his legs, he looked down at the peace charm in his hand and held it tightly.

"Shaoning? You're here too! A shout pulled Xuan Shaoning back to reality, and he turned around to see Ye Kai and Zhao Kexin walking towards him.

"You're here to pray for blessings, too?" Zhao Kexin was very curious that Xuan Shaoning would appear in a place like Tianfu Temple. Seeing the two of them, Xuan Shaoning hurriedly covered the peace charm in his hand with his sleeve.

"Senior Brother Ye, Kexin, why did you two come to pray for blessings?" Xuan Shaoning smiled maliciously, and looked around the two of them carefully, "In my opinion, you won't come here to ask for marriage, this Tianfu Temple is quite accurate!" ”

As soon as Zhao Kexin heard this, he slashed at Xuan Shaoning with a palm, and the other party dodged it very quickly, dropping a sentence, "Hey, Kexin, your palm is sudden enough!" ”

"Shaoning, I saw that you were quite honest before, it turns out that I was wrong, and you will also play tricks!" Zhao Kexin blushed obviously.

"Shaoning, you have really made great progress beside King Yu, you can see it at a glance!" Ye Kai squinted and smiled.

"You talk nonsense! We're here today for business! Zhao Kexin glanced at Ye Kai and said to Xuan Shaoning: "Wantong told us that you came to Tianfu Temple, so we came to see if we could find you."

"What's the matter?"

"It's going to Annam with you!"

"What? This can't work, King Yu won't agree! ”

"I knew you would say that!" Zhao Kexin raised his chin and said, "The master specially repaired a letter to send to King Yu, and King Yu agreed after reading it." ”

Master Baishi and King Yu have always had a deep friendship, this time it was the master who personally repaired the book, and it was reasonable that King Yu would agree, Xuan Shaoning pretended to be helpless and said: "Cut first and then play, then why bother to listen to me?" ”

Ye Kai raised his eyebrows, "Of course I have to tell you, because the identity of our trip this time is ...... King Yu's personal guard! ”
