The crown prince Dongling Yi came to the emperor's bedroom Qianyuan Hall with a sad face, and without waiting for the palace people to pass on the same interpretation, he impatiently pushed them away and broke into the inner hall.

"Father, are you serious? You asked your son to marry Mu Yunyi, the demon girl of the West Dome as the concubine? "I thought it was ridiculous to hear this news in the past few days, but as a result, several ministers heard the same news, so there was no groundless reason, but my father never talked to him, so I finally couldn't wait and asked my father in person.

"Now that you already know it's the best, I'm not a child's play, in the future, Mu Yunyi will be your crown princess." The emperor calmly carried an absolutely majestic tone, suggesting that there was no room for any change in this decision.

"Father, the son knows that as the prince, the son of the son of the concubine is related to the pattern of the court, and knows the prosperity of the country, no matter what daughter of the family you refer to for the son, the son can understand your intentions, but why her? People of the Western Firmament, how many soldiers of my Dongzhao died at the hands of her and her father, and now you want me to marry her as a concubine? "The crown prince couldn't think of any reason to accept his father's arrangement.

The Emperor waved his hand and motioned for the crown prince to calm down, "Let me tell you something more than 20 years ago, and you will know why I made this arrangement, when you were not yet in the world......

It turned out that when Donglin Xun and Mu Ting were both princes, there was a year when Donglin Xun guarded the border city, and then when the West Dome attacked, Donglin Xun fled back to Shangling City with the princess Ye Yang, who was pregnant with Liujia, and he fought hard with the army of the West Dome.

The troops led by Mu Ting won a great victory, and when clearing the remaining soldiers and prisoners of war of Dongzhao, Mu Ting found the crown princess of Donglin Xun in a village, she was pregnant with Donglin Yi at that time, and she looked like she was about to give birth, so Mu Ting concealed the lieutenant generals in the team, and released the crown princess of Donglin Xun, and after returning to the dynasty, she was even more silent, and did not disclose the matter to her father.

Although Mu Ting and Tanglin Xun are mortal enemies on the battlefield, the two are of the same age, brave and good at fighting and using soldiers like gods, and the two have a sense of sympathy for each other between the confrontations, if it were not for the opposition of the country, they would definitely be able to become confidants and brothers

Later, the two met on the battlefield again, they fought to a no-man's land, Tanglin Xun put down his weapon, took off his helmet and solemnly saluted Mu Ting: "Thank you Brother Mu for letting go of my wife and children last time, this grace Dongling Xun remembers, if Brother Mu needs it in the future, as long as it does not damage the interests of Dongzhao, Xun will do it." ”

Only then did Dongling Yi know that when he was not born, he still had this relationship with Prince Shun of the West Dome

"So do you understand why a father would do this?" The emperor took a sip of the tea bowl and looked at the prince.

"Is this a matter entrusted by Prince Shun?" The prince suddenly realized.

"Yes, he left a letter to me before he disappeared, and Yang Zhen accepted her concubine Mu Yunyi as your crown princess, he is kind to me, and even more so to you, and this matter does not harm the interests of Dongzhao, even if Mu Ting's whereabouts are unknown now, I promised back then, I must agree."

"This Prince Shun is the abyss of scheming, using his father's promise to protect his children."

"Yes, Mu Ting's brother Mu Ling has been eyeing Prince Shun's Mansion for a long time, and now that he has died, the Queen Mother seems to have more intention of uprooting Prince Shun's Mansion, so calling it your crown princess can give Mu Yunyi relative security and strength."

"But I can't even know that Mu Yunyi, let alone have any feelings, how can I get married so suddenly?" The prince had heard many rumors about this woman, but he was still very resistant to it.

"The marriage of the royal family never needs love, Yi'er, you should have seen this clearly."

"But Father, you ...... back then" The prince wanted to refute what happened to his father when he was young, but he took it back when the words came to his mouth, he knew that that incident and that person were the biggest taboo in his father's life.

And as his father said, as the crown prince of Dongzhao, he has built too much since he was a child, and how many marriages of the royal family are involuntary?

The emperor saw that the crown prince had calmed down a little compared to Fang Cai, and his tone softened: "Do you know what the situation is in various countries now?" ”

"After the cessation of the war in Fengcheng, the contradictions and grievances between the countries gradually subsided, but peace is only the surface, but in fact it is not, the forces of all parties are surging and ambitious, especially in the West Vault, although the new emperor is shallow and indulges in wine all day long, but the Empress Dowager Xi is a stubble, and the ministers will not be at peace when they look at her." The prince gave his analysis of the current situation.

"Not bad." The emperor nodded, and his eyes became serious: "But you are only half right, those ambitions that can be detected by people are often not terrible, and the real terrible ones are those forces who hide in the shadows in disguise, waiting for an opportunity to set off a greater conspiracy vortex." ”

"You mean...... Beiqiang? The prince had an epiphany at once.

"Yes, over the years, Beiqiang has been hidden in the north, rarely appearing in front of the world, as if they have no desires and no desires, if they are really so peaceful, why should they believe in studying Gu art for generations? Recently, I have discovered that Beiqiang has secretly stretched out his hand to various places. And Beiqiang has been attached to the West Dome back then, and now I have sent troops to Yanmiao Zhou twice, although it has won a great victory, but it is also a loss, and it costs vitality, if Beiqiang and the West Dome collude again at this time, then the situation will not be optimistic. ”

The prince twisted his eyebrows, only to know that in addition to Xiqiong, there was still Beiqiang who had threatened Dongzhao.

"But what does all this have to do with me marrying Mu Yunyi?" In his opinion, Mu Yunyi was just the daughter of a decaying palace in the enemy country.

"Although Mu Ting's throne was taken away and disappeared half a year ago, seeing the decline of Prince Shun's mansion, as the crown prince of the god of war at the beginning, the power and influence in Mu Ting's hands are still not to be underestimated, and he must have many core secrets in the West Dome in his hands. The old departments of Prince Shun's Mansion are all hidden in the shadows, and they are a force that is enough to shake half of the Western Firmament, but they are all very good at forbearance, so Tianying Emperor Mu Ling will be in the first place when Mu Ting just disappeared, even at the risk of being criticized, he will urgently take away the military power of Prince Shun's Mansion. ”

"Oh, Erchen remembered that not long after Mu Ting's disappearance, many of his old subordinates were also assassinated, and now he wants to ......"

"Yes, on the surface, it was done by the guardian of the Nancang Star Palace, but in fact, it is absolutely inseparable from Emperor Tianying." There was a hint of cunning and shrewdness in Donglin Xun's eyes, "Besides, Mu Ting, although it was not stated in the letter, his disappearance must be related to a huge conspiracy, let you marry Mu Yunyi as a concubine, we have more information and secrets." ”

"That's all for my father, and for the rest, Yi'er, you can think about it." Emperor Yanbi turned around and left, leaving the prince alone in the main hall.
