"This palace has asked my father for a decree to go to Huzhou." Chu Zheng looked at Huo Sijin, "You prepare in advance, and go with the palace when the time comes." ”

It seems that Chu Zheng has made up his mind, and Huo Sijin will not say anything more.

Not to mention, Chu Zheng's move is beneficial to the people, whether Huo Sijin looks at it from the perspective of ordinary people or the long history of the East Palace, she appreciates and agrees with Chu Zheng's approach.

Love the people like a son, treat the people well, this is the good quality that a prince of a country should have, if you blindly only know how to fight for power, if such a person is an emperor, he is not a wise monarch.

Huo Sijin nodded, "Your Highness, don't worry, Changjin will prepare in advance." ”

As a strategist, she will give him advice and make a plan to properly solve the peach blossom flood.

At this time, Huo Sijin's mind had already begun to conceive. In her previous life, Chu Li was able to do a good job in the aftermath of Peach Blossom Flood, which was actually her credit, so she also knew a lot about Peach Blossom Flood, and it was not difficult to make the whole plan in a short period of time.

However, now that the time is tight, and there are additional factors at the border, it is especially important to ensure that the plan can be implemented smoothly.

Thinking of this, Huo Sijin said to Chu Zheng: "Your Highness, I am afraid that there will be changes at the border, Changjin thinks that His Highness should pay more attention." ”

If there is no accident, the news of the border emergency will soon reach the capital.

……

Huo Sijin's words, Chu Zheng listened to them, as soon as Huo Sijin left the East Palace, Chu Zheng called Zheng Changdong: "Is there any news at the border recently?" ”

"It's business as usual, nothing unusual for the time being." Zheng Changdong replied.

Chu Zheng thought thoughtfully, "Beiliang and Xirong have been eyeing each other, and as soon as Peach Blossom Xun comes, I am afraid that they will think that it is an opportunity to take advantage of, and immediately send a message to Luo Zhengqing, telling him to be more careful." ”

As soon as the peach blossom flood came, it had a great impact on Southern Chu, and at this time, it was unknown if the enemy country wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob.

However, in fact, as soon as Chu Zheng's news was sent, the emperor received an urgent report of 800 miles at the border the next day.

The Imperial Study

"Zheng'er, let go of the Taohuaxun matter first, the border pass is urgent, I hope you will go to the border pass." As he spoke, the emperor handed the report to Chu Zheng.

Chu Zheng took the report and swept it quickly, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, it was written that Beiliang and Xirong were rectifying their troops and horses, and there seemed to be a sign of southern invasion.

It's the same as what Huo Sijin said......

"Zheng'er, you are the crown prince, you should be in the middle of the court, helping me deal with government affairs, but the border is in an emergency, only if you go, I can rest assured."

The emperor said earnestly, "Zheng'er, among all the princes, you are the only one who has personally been on the battlefield and is familiar with the border war, I only believe you." ”

Soon after the death of Empress Yuanjing, Chu Zheng went to the border pass to practice, and only returned to Beijing last year, so it can be said that Chu Zheng actually grew up in the border pass. The princes on the side, such as the third prince Chu Li and the fifth prince Chu Heng, although they have also been to the military camp for training, they are just a formality and have not really been on the battlefield.

"Father, the son thinks that internal and external troubles are all important matters, and they can't be ignored."

Chu Zheng's inky eyes looked at the emperor, and Zhengse said, "The Luo family army has guarded Lin and Xia for generations, and with them, Xirong does not want to step across the Minglan River for half a step, and please rest assured that my father and emperor." ”

"The Locke Army is indeed brave and good at fighting, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have let you go to the Locke Army Camp to experience training." The Emperor nodded in agreement.

Lin and Xiazhou are located at the junction of Xirong and Southern Chu, and it is precisely because of the existence of the Luo clan that Xirong has never crossed the Minglan River and stepped into the land of Southern Chu for many years.

The army of the Locke family is not only brave, but more importantly, the emperor is at ease.

The Luo clan has guarded Lin and Xia for many years, Xirong has been repeatedly defeated by the Luo family's army, and countless Xirong soldiers have died in the hands of the Luo family's army, so there is a deep feud between the Luo family and Xirong, and the emperor has never worried that the Luo family will betray Nanchu.

"But I'm worried about Bei Liang'......," the emperor frowned.

After all, there is only one Luo Jiajun in Nanchu......

"There is General Weiyuan in Yanzhou, General Huwei in Yunzhou, and 200,000 soldiers and horses. Since the emperor appointed them, then they should have the ability and determination to guard the border passes. If they can't hold the border, it will be a dereliction of duty! ”

Chu Zheng then said: "The strength of our dynasty is not weak, even if it is a war, it is definitely capable of dealing with the enemy, and my father should have confidence in the border soldiers." Moreover, as soon as there was a stir, the prince went to the front line in person, which inevitably made Bei Liang look down on our dynasty and damaged the majesty of his father. ”

The border pass is guarded by its own soldiers, and it is far from the time when the prince needs to come in person to boost the morale of the army.

Chu Zheng's words were conclusive, reasonable, and the emperor couldn't help frowning and thinking deeply.

After weighing it again and again, the emperor finally nodded, "What Zheng'er said makes sense, how can I let the Beiliang barbarians look down on me!" ”

The Northern Liang country is mostly grassland, white mountains and black waters, lack of materials, and the degree of prosperity is far inferior to that of Southern Chu, so the emperor looks down on Beiliang in his heart, although the people of Beiliang are fierce, especially good at fighting, and the army is extremely combative......

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, so he agreed to Chu Zheng's request and asked Chu Zheng to go to Huzhou to deal with the Taohuaxun matter.

Chu Zheng returned to the East Palace from the imperial study and immediately ordered Huo Sijin to be called to the study.

As soon as the chamberlain responded, before he walked out of the door, someone from the palace came in and said, "Your Highness, Lord Huo asks to see Your Highness." ”

Chu Zheng's subordinates moved, and coincidentally, he was also about to see Huo Sijin, "Let him come in." ”

The palace people immediately went out to return. After a while, I saw Huo Sijin walk in.

"Changjin has seen His Highness." Huo Sijin bowed to Chu Zheng, and at the same time presented the fold in his hand, "Your Highness, Changjin has some ideas about the matter of Peach Blossom Xun, please take a look at it." ”

In fact, since Chu Zheng said about the peach blossom flood two days ago, Huo Sijin returned home and stayed up for two nights in a row to make corresponding plans.

Thanks to the foundation she laid in her previous life, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to do it in just two days.

Chu Zheng took the fold and looked at it, his eyes deepened, and the detailed countermeasures were listed on it, not only the floods, but also the frequent plagues after the floods, and the corresponding countermeasures were also listed.

Although not all of the measures listed in the excerpt are feasible, the whole plan is detailed and thorough, and it can be said that it is almost seamless.

Even if it was Chu Zheng himself, he would never ask himself more carefully than Huo Sijin thought.

Chu Zheng raised his eyes, and his eyes fell on Huo Sijin......

A fifteen-year-old boy who has not traveled abroad, but has only been taught by Taixue, has such careful thinking and far-reaching considerations......

Feeling Chu Zheng's distant and deep gaze, Huo Sijin was a little uncomfortable, she pursed the corners of her lips, "Your Highness, but what's wrong?" ”

Only then did Chu Zheng retract his gaze, took out a painting scroll from the bookshelf, and spread the painting on several cases, "You mentioned that in Ningzhou Shunnan Road and Saibei Road, let the water lead to Fengzhou, and the crisis in Ningzhou may be solved, so what about Fengzhou?" ”

"Your Highness, please look at ......"

Huo Sijin pointed to the place of Fengzhou marked on the map, "Fengzhou is close to Ningzhou, and there are many mountains and rivers, but for many years, whenever the peach blossom flood comes, Huzhou, Ningzhou and other places have become floods, but Fengzhou rarely has floods. Changjin boldly guessed that Fengzhou may have a natural floodway. ”

In fact, it is not a guess, but she personally went to Fengzhou to check in her previous life, and it is true.

The corners of Huo Sijin's lips raised slightly, and she was confident that this method would definitely solve the disaster in Ningzhou.

"Your Highness, what do you think?" Huo Sijin turned around, but he didn't want to meet Chu Zheng looking down at the map, the eyes of the two met unexpectedly, and they were very close......

In an instant, Huo Sijin clearly saw Chu Zheng's inky eyes, and his exhaled breath fell right on her cheeks......

Huo Sijin only felt that her cheeks were a little hot, she immediately took two steps back, and bowed to Chu Zheng, "Weichen lost his honor, please forgive His Highness." ”

She didn't want to be a courtier, so she always called herself by her name Changjin, and never called herself Weichen. But at this time, it is necessary for her to remind herself in words that there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and she should not lose her proportion. Especially shouldn't be too close to Chu Zheng, for no other reason, His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes are too sharp, as if he can see through her at a glance.

Chu Zheng's gaze fell straight on Huo Sijin, but he didn't speak.

Huo Sijin lowered her head slightly, looking respectful, but in fact, Chu Zheng's gaze was so hot that her face unconsciously became hotter......

Suddenly, Huo Sijin's heart went up and down, and he was nervous, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw something?
