Chapter 257: The Ministers Take the Oath

The Northern Wei Dynasty took advantage of the civil war in Chenzhou and launched an attack, and Pei Fangming finally died on the battlefield in order to eliminate the traitor Zhu Yun. www.biquge.info When the news reached Jiankang, everyone seemed to be able to imagine the fierceness of the war in Chenzhou.

Song Guo'an is imminent, and there is no one to fight in the court, Liu Yan really asked for help again at this time, and there was opposition in the court, but the emperor suddenly agreed to this matter.

"I'm in good health, so you don't have to be too scared."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were also speechless, but Liu Zhengsheng and the others were still very uneasy in their hearts, but after thinking about it carefully, except for Liu Yu's expedition, they really couldn't find a second good candidate.

After the next dynasty, Liu Yan rushed back to the East Palace non-stop, he knew that it was no longer possible for Chu Shenxia to accompany him to Chenzhou, but he still had to inform Chu Shenxia about it.

In fact, how can he not know the concerns of the ministers? But in times of crisis, if he doesn't go to hell, who will go to hell?

Liu Yan's heavy mood became heavier because he wanted to see Chu Shenxia, since he came back from Wuhu Mountain, Chu Shenxia had never spoken, and lay in bed all day long to recuperate.

What made Liu Yan even more uncomfortable was that the imperial doctor said that Chu Shenxia might not be able to stand up in his life, and he never dared to tell Chu Shenxia about it, but Liu Yan always felt that Chu Shenxia knew.

"Shen Xia, how can you do without eating?" Liu Yan's gaze fell on the untouched food on the table, and there was some reproach in his tone.

Seeing Chu Shenxia lying indifferently and not being affected by himself, Liu Yan sighed and walked over and said, "I've been here so many times, and I've never seen you say a word to me." I may not have a chance to talk to you again after I'm gone, and this may be the last time I'll talk to you. ”

"Your Highness is going on a campaign?"

Hearing Chu Shenxia speak, a happy expression flashed on Liu Yan's face, and he raised his tone and said: "You are finally willing to talk to me, my father and emperor have promised to let me go to Chenzhou, and I will leave tomorrow." ”

"Does Your Highness have faith?" Chu Shenxia rolled his eyes slightly, and raised his eyes to look at the bed tent above his head.

"I don't know what the situation is in Chenzhou, I can only know when I go, but I will definitely stick to the end." Liu Yan paused as he spoke, and then said, "You don't have to worry about the affairs of the court, with Liu Zhengsheng and them, plus my father said that he would take care of the government for me, you can recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind." ”

Chu Shenxia didn't speak, Liu Yan gently patted him on the shoulder and said, "When I return from a big victory, let's go drinking and riding horses together." ”

"Good ......"

Liu Yan waited for a long time before hearing Chu Shenxia squeeze out a word, and his heart suddenly had mixed feelings, and he couldn't bear to look at his expression anymore, so he turned around and walked out of the door.

Walking out of the courtyard, Liu Yan was the first to see a green robe, and after looking carefully, he was shocked to realize that it was half-rong, and ran over with some excitement at the moment: "I sent someone to deliver a message to you, why did you come now?" ”

"How's his injury?" Banrong didn't explain, but asked rhetorically.

Liu Yan looked back at the courtyard and said softly: "It's too late, you may not be able to stand up again in the future, he's inside, you go and see him." ”

"No......" Banrong shook her head, and wanted to say something, but Liu Yan suddenly interrupted her in a deep voice, "Banrong, we've known each other for so long, what kind of character you and Shen Xia are, I don't know yet?" ”

Banrong lowered her eyes and looked at her white cloth shoes and couldn't say a word, just when Liu Yan was about to speak, she suddenly said: "If you really understand, then you shouldn't send someone to me." ”

"Why? Don't you care about Shen Xia's life or death at all? When did your heart become so hard? Seeing that she had a tendency to turn away, Liu Yan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, pulled her past and walked towards the courtyard.

Banrong was dragged by him and walked two steps, thinking that the faces of the people in the courtyard suddenly turned red, and he used all his strength to shake off Liu Yan's hand and said, "That's it." ”

"What?" Liu Yan looked at her puzzled.

"I said that's it, don't have any more intersections, whether he Chu Shenxia is dead or alive has nothing to do with me. You always say that I am ruthless, why is your heart not ruthless? Do you dare to say that you are really doing this for my own good? Is it to make him feel more comfortable? You are brothers and good friends, so what about me, can't you think about me? ”

Liu Yan's gaze began to dodge, and the feeling of being half a word was very bad, he opened his mouth to explain but couldn't make a sound, so he had to let her figure disappear from in front of him little by little.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Banrong had her own difficulties, and those pains could not be explained clearly in a few words, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only watch the lovers go from love to this point.

In just a few months, the East Palace seemed to have changed, and Liu Yan turned around and walked towards the courtyard where Xiaobai lived. Since Xiaobai came to the East Palace, he has lost a lot of weight, and his movements have become slower and slower, sometimes lying on the ground for a day.

The mentally depressed Xiaobai would only reluctantly look up when he saw Liu Yan, and this glance may have done his best for Xiaobai.

But today, Xiaobai was lying on the ground without a trace of movement, Liu Yan stepped forward a little nervously, and saw that his limbs were stiff, and his heart couldn't help but sink. Xiaobai's deadline is approaching, why doesn't Liu Yan understand? It's just that he really loves such a smart black bear who protects the Lord.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, but Liu Yan didn't notice it, until the person's voice arrived, Liu Yan looked up, and saw Xiao Zhizi breathe a sigh of relief and said: "It can be regarded as finding His Highness, it turns out that His Highness is here, and several adults have been waiting in the middle hall for nearly an hour, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”

Liu Yan couldn't bear to glance at Xiaobai, and then slowly got up and said, "Bury Xiaobai in the bamboo forest of Wuhu Mountain, he likes it there." ”

Xiao Jiezi looked at the black bear lying on the ground with some surprise, scratched his head and said, "Bury the bear?" ”

When Xiao Jiezi turned around, Liu Yan's figure was gone, and Xiao Jiezi hurriedly pulled his legs to catch up, and finally chased after Liu Yan, but he suddenly stopped.

Xiao Jiezi almost bumped into it, and only after standing up straight did he hear Liu Yan say: "After I leave, you have to go to Nianci'an often, you must make the half-rong girl feel comfortable, and remember, don't let her know." ”

"I know Your Highness, Your Highness has said it several times before, and the little excerpt has been firmly memorized, and I promise that I won't let Miss Banrong know." Xiao Zhenzi smiled confidently.

Liu Yan glanced at him, and smiled bitterly with some helplessness, Xiao Zhizi was ridiculed by him like this, and immediately lost confidence, and followed Liu Yan with his head down and stopped talking.

Liu Zhengsheng, Ji Gang, Wang Qin and others stood on the platform of the middle hall, as if they had been waiting for a long time, but they always stood straight, and their tense bodies revealed their uneasy and nervous hearts.

Liu Yan walked towards them with heavy steps, and when he saw them saluting him in unison, he said the words His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a round voice, and somehow, he suddenly shook his head.

In the main hall, Liu Yan swept everyone's faces, and no one was the first to speak, but the expressions on their faces could be clearly captured. Liu Yan really couldn't stand the tragic look on their faces like a strong man going to death, and never returned, and said: "You know, the Song and Wei wars have broken out, except for me, I can't find a second person, fortunately, my father and emperor are healthy, and the overall situation of the DPRK and China still depends on the ministers." ”

Liu Yan's voice stumbled a few times in the hall, but no one answered, and Liu Zhengsheng, who usually talked the most, also lowered his head to his chest at this time.

"It's come to this, what's the use of you doing this?!" After a long pause, Liu Yan finally couldn't help but break the long silence.

Liu Zhengsheng's eyes flickered a few times, and he said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for His Highness to be unclear about the current situation, if Liu Yu and the others are not removed, how can Jiankang be healthy?" I'm afraid that the external troubles will not be eliminated by then, and the internal ......"

"Shut up!" Liu Yan suddenly interrupted him coldly, met everyone's stunned eyes, and said word by word, "The father and emperor are still here, the ministers are still here, and the people of Li are still there, this country is not as easy to fall as imagined." As long as I capture the Northern Wei Dynasty in one fell swoop, I will eliminate all the troubles from here, so why not plan for the future? But if even you start to complain to yourself and throw away that last bit of hope, then what is left of Jiankang? ”

Ji Gang finally spoke: "We all understand what His Highness said, but this trip is too dangerous, if we can, several of us are willing to go to the battlefield for Your Highness." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, although I rarely have the opportunity to lead troops to battle, I am still very proficient in the art of war, so it is better to let me go on the expedition for His Highness." Wang Qin also echoed.

Seeing that Liu Zhengsheng also agreed, Liu Yan's eyes couldn't help but constrict, and he frowned: "Don't you still understand?" If external troubles are not removed, how can we worry about internal troubles? Aren't you just afraid that I will die on the battlefield and that the political situation in the DPRK and China will be turbulent? If the overall situation of the DPRK and China is usurped by Liu Yu, as long as I can come back alive, then I will definitely do my best to take back the imperial power. If I unfortunately die in battle, but this Southern Song Dynasty is still the Southern Song Dynasty, and my father is still sitting on the dragon chair. Could it be that if the future monarch is not me, you will not be able to work for the Southern Song Dynasty? ”

When several people heard this, their faces were somewhat embarrassed, and after Liu Zhengsheng was silent for a moment, he was the first to react, stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Xiaguan will definitely do everything he can to help His Highness keep this Jiankang." ”

Several other people also reacted and saluted one after another: "Xia Guan will definitely do his best to keep Jiankang!" ”

Liu Yan slowly closed his eyes, nodded his head, and suddenly heard a long and deep sigh, opened his eyes and looked, but found that the sigh came from his heart.
