Text Chapter 7: The Seven Princesses of the Wood Country

The Imperial City of Muguo Lin'an is divided into three cities: the outer city, the inner city, and the palace city.

The outer city was where the common people of Lin'an Province and some low-ranking officials lived.

The ordinary people living in the outer city of Lin'an Mansion can be regarded as relatively high-level personnel, among which there are not a few tycoons.

The low-level officials in the outer city of Lin'an Mansion are relative to other high-ranking officials in the city, and the officials in Lin'an Mansion are only one level higher than those in other places in the same rank, and the officials in Lin'an Mansion are one level higher than those who are not in Lin'an Mansion in the same rank.

The outer city of Lin'an Mansion is the most prosperous commercial city in the country, among which there are large auction houses, restaurants, Yihong Courtyard, cloth shops, rice shops, money villages, etc., and the property of any person on the street is worth a lot of money.

The outer city of Lin'an Mansion has the largest amount of funds, the most huge influence, and the most extensive contacts among the people.

The Gong Guard Army in the outer city of Lin'an Mansion is the Praetorian Guard, and the Praetorian Guard is divided into five battalions, the East Battalion, the West Battalion, the South Battalion, the North Battalion and the Middle Battalion.

The inner city of Lin'an Mansion is the location of the national government yamen and public offices.

The inner city of Lin'an Mansion is known as a small imperial city, the most important three provinces and six departments are all concentrated in the inner city, and the orders issued by the imperial court in ordinary times must be issued through the three provinces and six departments, so all the orders in the country are sent through the inner city, so the inner city is the city of the power center of the country.

Those who live in the inner city of Lin'an Mansion are either high-ranking officials of the imperial court or relatives of the emperor of their own country, as well as high-ranking generals of the army and people with great knowledge or influence among the people, such as professors of Taixue, Confucian Confucians, and so on.

Guarding the inner city of Lin'an Mansion is the Yulin Army, the Yulin Army is divided into two armies, such as the forest, the Yulin army has a general of the Yulin, and there are two generals of the Yulin army, and the name of the first army of the wings is called the general of the feather wing, and the name of the first army of the forest is called the general of the forest.

Covering an area of 1 million square meters, the palace of Lin'an Province is a rectangular city, 961 meters long from north to south, 753 meters wide from east to west, surrounded by a 10-meter-high city wall on all sides, and a moat with a width of 52 meters outside the city. The buildings in Miyagi are divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The center of the outer dynasty is the Taihe Palace, the Zhonghe Palace, and the Baohe Palace, collectively referred to as the three major halls, which are the places where the state holds great ceremonies. The center of the inner court is the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, and the Kunning Palace, collectively known as the Hou Three Palaces, which are the main palaces where the emperor and empress live.

It was the emperor's pro-army that guarded the palace of Lin'anfu, and the imperial army, as the name suggests, was a special army that guarded the emperor, the royal family, and the imperial city.

The Imperial Army was divided into four regimental headquarters, each with 5,000 men, for a total of 20,000 men.

The Imperial Army has a marshal, the marshal commands the four regimental headquarters, and the regimental headquarters is set up under the captain, who executes the marshal's orders and manages their respective regimental headquarters.

Stationed in the east is the Qinglong Captain, the West White Tiger Captain, the South Suzaku Captain, and the North Xuanwu Captain.

The three armies of Lin'an Prefecture are mutually controlled, but they do not manage each other, and they are their own armies unless ordered by the emperor.

The Taihe Palace, also known as the Jinluan Palace, is in the center of the palace city.

On the Jinluan Palace, the Emperor of Muguo, the crown prince, the generalissimo and the core ministers were discussing the war outside the city of Lin'an Mansion, and they saw all the ministers standing with sad faces and dejected heads.

"Everyone, I don't know who has a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Wood Emperor Zhao Xudong sat on the dragon chair and asked worriedly.

Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and at the same time choose to be silent.

Emperor Wood Zhao Xudong looked around at the ministers in the palace and stopped at the crown prince Zhao Qichen, because Emperor Mu found that the prince seemed to be thinking about something.

"Prince, do you have a good plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Prince Zhao Qichen pondered for a while, and said: "The enemy army is strong and carries a million army to attack our country, our country is weak, and the enemy army is attacked to the foot of the imperial city of Lin'an Mansion, the enemy is strong and I am weak, although my country has reinforcements from a strong country, but far water can not quench the thirst of the near, at this time and the enemy army must not be hard to touch, you have to think of a good plan to stop this national crisis, to avoid this war of annihilation." ”

"Then what good plan does the prince have?"

Mu Huang heard that the prince was analyzing, maybe the prince had some good ideas, and asked.

"The child has a way, but I don't know if it can be implemented, and I don't know how it will end, but in the current crisis, this is the best way to do it."

Prince Zhao Qichen thought for a while, thinking about whether to say it, and finally said it helplessly.

"What's the solution?"

Wood Emperor Zhao Xudong's eyes lit up and asked.

"Perhaps, the seventh sister can reverse the crisis outside the city."

Prince Zhao Qichen said with an expression on his face that a dead horse was a live horse doctor.

"Why can Xiao Qi reverse the crisis outside the city?"

Wood Emperor Zhao Xudong thought that the prince had a good plan, and when he heard that a little woman could protect the safety of Lin'an Mansion, his face was unnatural.

In fact, what Emperor Zhao Xudong was thinking in his heart was that if a woman could keep the safety of a big country, what was the matter of raising an army of millions? What is the matter of spending countless money and grain to build walls and cities?

If it came true, wouldn't it be a big joke.

The crown prince Zhao Qichen thought for a while and continued: "Liu Deqing lived with the seventh sister for a period of time before he joined the army. ”

"The Liu Deqing you are talking about is the general of Youguo, and Liu Deqing, the commander in charge of attacking our country this time?"

Emperor Mu Guo understood it at one point, and asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Father."

Prince Zhao Qichen replied.

"Was it a few years ago, when Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess was supposed to go to Heguo and Qin, but mysteriously disappeared at the junction of the two countries?"

Xiao Yicai, the left prime minister of the Wood Country under the crown prince, asked.

"Yes, a few years ago, the seventh sister was going to Heguo and relatives, but was injured in the mountains by the spies of the moon country, the seventh sister's guard retinue desperately rescued each other, so that the seventh sister successfully escaped, the seventh sister Jiren has her own natural appearance, life should not be extinguished, in the deep mountains was rescued by Liu Deqing, Liu Deqing rescued the seventh sister back to the house, and his mother took care of the seventh sister inch by inseparable, the seventh sister deeply felt Liu Deqing's sincerity, so she fell in love with Liu Deqing, and the seventh sister was inseparable after being injured, and got along day and night."

The crown prince Zhao Qichen briefly talked about the fact that the seventh princess Zhao Rouyu went to meet her relatives and was rescued by Liu Deqing and had feelings for each other.

"That time, General Goodbai was ordered to take people to the junction of our country and He Kingdom to find Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, but did you find Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess in the territory of Youguo?"

Zuo Prime Minister Xiao Yi thought about it and asked again.

"General Gudebai felt very angry when he saw that the seventh sister and Liu Deqing were inseparable, and wanted to kill Liu Deqing directly, but he was forced by the seventh sister to die, General Gudebai had no choice, although he didn't kill Liu Deqing directly, but he still beat Liu Deqing half to death and made him a cripple."

The crown prince Zhao Qichen didn't expect that the small people in the mountains and fields yesterday would be able to become the general of a big country at the age of today's weak crown.

As the prince of a country, the crown prince Zhao Qichen also has huge power and power, although the army is definitely not moving, but the intelligence battalion and secret guard of the wood country are under the control of the prince Zhao Qichen.

"Why did General Goodbay beat Liu Deqing to a cripple?"

Wu Pingfan, the generalissimo of the Wood Kingdom, who was sitting on the first seat on his right, suddenly asked suspiciously.

"That time was the Moon Country attacking our country, my country was caught off guard, and went to ask for help from Heguo, I didn't think that Heguo's aid condition was to send a princess to my country to kiss, originally selected the seventh sister, but the seventh sister was attacked and disappeared, no more princess was chosen, and the last to go to the country of He and kiss was the sixth sister." The prince saw that it was the generalissimo who asked the question, and replied with a solemn expression.

"Does this have anything to do with Goodbay beating Liu Deqing into a cripple?"

The generalissimo asked the prince again.

"There is a huge relationship, the mother of the sixth sister and the hometown of General Gudebai is the same place, they are all local noble families, once the sixth sister went to her mother's place to live in a small house for a few days, at that time General Gudebai happened to be with his father in the sixth sister's maternal family house, the two were talented women, beautiful women, beautiful people, suddenly looked right, sparked a spark of love."

The prince paused, took a sip of water, and continued: "The two fell in love, and they agreed to marry each other, but they didn't think that the seventh sister would disappear, so the sixth sister was re-elected as the princess and sent to Heguo to make peace. ”

The prince carefully explained the matter before and after.

"I didn't expect Liu Deqing to return to a normal person after a few years of rest, and through his own efforts and skills, he became the general of another country, and this time he led a million army to attack my country."

Generalissimo Wu Pingfan's next Mu Guo's right prime minister Zhang Zhaozhong said with a calm expression.

"The only one who can influence the situation of this battle is Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, and the only one who can make Liu Deqing withdraw from the army is Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess."

After listening to what the prince said, the generalissimo was silent for a while, and said in shock.

Generalissimo Wu Pingfan is silent, dull, and has few words, but no one can ignore the generalissimo's opinion, this is a legendary figure who saved the Mu Kingdom from fire and water several times.

"Xuan Xiaoqi is here."

Mu Huang nodded to the generalissimo, looked at the great eunuch beside him, and said.

"Yes."

The great eunuch replied.

At this time, the seventh princess Zhao Yurou was in a bungalow in the palace, although Zhao Yurou was the princess, but she was a concubine, and her mother was just an ordinary palace maid, with no background and strength at all, so she was regarded as the first choice for her relatives in an unclear and unselfish situation.

"Your Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, the emperor has a proclamation, please come with me."

The great eunuch came to the bungalow where the seventh princess Zhao Yurou lived, and came to Xuan Zhao Yurou to go to the Jinluan Palace on the order of Emperor Mu.

"May I ask my father-in-law, what did my father call me?"

Zhao Yurou was full of doubts and asked puzzled.

"If I go back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I don't know, I'm just acting on orders."

The big eunuch replied expressionlessly.

"Oh~~ Okay, please let my father-in-law lead the way."

Zhao Yurou regained her usual composure and said.

"Okay, Seventh Princess, please come with me." The big eunuch got up and walked in front and said.

As soon as the seventh princess Zhao Yurou stepped into the Jinluan Palace, before she had time to salute her father, Zhao Xudong, the wooden emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair, said enthusiastically:

"Xiao Qi is here, come~~ Come to my father's side."

"Is there anything wrong with the father calling the child?"

Zhao Yurou walked slowly to her father, Zhao Xudong, and replied in a displeased tone.

"Liu Deqing, do you know? The commander of this attack on our country, Liu Deqing, the general of Youguo. ”

Wood Emperor Zhao Xudong asked Zhao Yurou expectantly.

Zhao Yurou instantly recalled the scene in the thatched hut in the deep mountains, which was the happiest time in her life.

Living carefree in the mountains, boating in the lake with his beloved, picking wild fruits on the trees, and digging birds' nests on the top of the trees.

However, the appearance of the group of black-clothed people broke the beautiful and peaceful life of the two people, and even captured themselves and brought them back to the deep palace, and what was even sadder was that they seriously injured their beloved, and she only learned afterwards that Liu Deqing was beaten into a cripple.

"I don't know, the child doesn't know this person."

Zhao Yurou's face was indifferent, and she replied.
