As soon as Xiao Jingxing went down, Yun Lan came to report, "The people below have sent news that there has been a change in the Wei State Barracks, and they are going to attack this side." ”

"In the past few years, the Wei State has eaten the land, the Jin State and the Chen State, and the rebel army over there has also been almost suppressed by them. It's time to send troops this way.

Let the military department prepare, you and Su Chongduo prepare. ”

"Yes."

The news released by the spies can only be known to their own people, and the ministers in the court and the emperor on the dragon chair still don't need to know.

A few days later, news came from the frontier that Chen Bing of Wei was outside the city and asked the emperor to hand over Princess Qing.

The news spread in the court, and all the ministers knew that the Wei army had called.

Hubu Shilang: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Liang State will not be able to stop the attack of the Wei State. Negotiation and peace are the best policy. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu: "Your Majesty, the Wei army is menacing this time, and it will definitely not give up." If the emperor greeted Emperor Wei with a brotherly gift.

And to Emperor Wei as a vassal, the Great Liang can be exempted from this difficulty. ”

The weak emperor coughed violently.

It took a while before he came back to his senses and asked Xiao Jingxing, "Regent, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Jingxing came out, "Back to the emperor, what the ministers said is reasonable, the Liang State can't withstand the attack of the Wei State, and it needs to negotiate peace." ”

"The regent is sensible."

"It's better to let these ministers who agree with the peace negotiation go for the emperor and tell Emperor Wei if this method will work." Xiao Jingxing said.

Those officials who still want to compliment the regent, how could they want to be envoys.

"The matter of the envoy to Wei is a big matter, and it needs to be discussed." Tobe Samura said.

Xiao Jingxing glanced at him coldly, "The Wei army has already been outside the city, and the matter of peace cannot be delayed." A decision must be made immediately, and this time the sincerity of the beam is revealed. ”

Xiao Jingxing arched his hand to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, all the monarchs above the temple are all for the sake of the beams. Their suggestions are very good and worth trying, so let them negotiate peace. ”

The emperor bowed his head, "Since the regent said so, let you go to the peace talks." No matter what conditions Emperor Wei proposes, they can be discussed. ”

Xiao Jingxing looked at the hundred officials, "I heard it, the emperor has issued an edict, so don't go and prepare quickly." ”

"Yes."

"The ministers are leaving."

The officials below began to argue, none of them wanted to be the main person in charge, and they all wanted to shirk the blame and let others envoy Wei State.

Hubu Shangshu walked out of the palace gate, and then from the other side, entered the side hall to see the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the regent is in charge of the government, and no one in the six ministries dares to confront him, and this person's ambition is even more than Han You. The emperor has to guard against it. ”

The emperor covered his mouth and coughed, "I am also a fish on his chopping board, how do you let me get rid of him?" ”

The emperor said weakly: "No matter what happens to the regent, he will keep the Xiao family's country, if they all listen to you, my country will not be mine." ”

"The minister is guilty, the minister can't protect the emperor, the minister is guilty."

"Not to mention whether you are guilty or not, if you look at the origin of the Wei army this time, they are bound to win.

Negotiation of peace is absolutely not peaceful, what Emperor Wei wants is great unification, and he will never let me still sit on this dragon chair. ”

The emperor continued: "If you fight a dozen, you may still survive, but if you don't block it, no matter how many conditions you prescribe, it's useless." ”

Tobe Shangshu did not speak.

The emperor said to the eunuch Xidefu: "Remove the post of the head of the household department, and let the regent find someone to sit again." ”

"Yes."

"Your Majesty, the ministers are dedicated to the emperor. Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal to you, and they have no different intentions! ”

The emperor waved his hand, "Drag it out." ”

"Yes."

Without the disturbance of the court, the emperor drank loquat ointment and walked in the lonely palace.

From the Yong'an Palace to the East Palace, the emperor walked for nearly an hour and rested three times.

On the way, he met the crown prince and the prince, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Wei army is going to fight." ”

"Hmm."

"The Wei army is strong and strong, and the soldiers of Daliang may not be able to stop it!"

"I know. Emperor Wei was ambitious and wanted to unify the country, and I also knew this news. ”

"Your Majesty, peace is the best way."

The emperor smiled helplessly, "Why does the Taifu think that Emperor Wei will agree to my request?" ”

"In today's current situation, can't Taifu still see through it?"

Taifu shook his head and sighed, "There is still the possibility of peace, try your best, I'm afraid that the egg will hit the stone." ”

"Where has the prince learned?" The emperor asked.

"The prince is wise and has learned the book Mencius."

"If you were really intelligent, you wouldn't have learned only Mencius." The emperor sneered and walked forward holding on to the white jade guardrail.

Look at the red wall glazed tiles, look at the soldiers standing guard, and the patrolling forbidden army.

He used to envy the people who lived in the East Palace, and when he lived in the East Palace, he knew that the East Palace was the most dangerous place in the world.

Now as an emperor, overlooking the beam, I feel that I am so incompetent.

"The son visits his father." When the crown prince learned that the emperor was coming, he took the initiative to walk out of the palace to greet him.

The emperor saw the young prince and stroked the top of his hair.

"The Wei army is coming in, do you know the prince?"

"Erchen has just learned that my father and emperor don't need to be afraid, the general of the protector and the marquis of Enwang will protect us."

The emperor smiled, looked at the prince and smiled.

The emperor asked the prince about his daily life again, and knew that the prince was doing well, so he went back happily.

The news that the Wei army was going to war spread in the land of Daliang.

The people were talking a lot, wondering if it would hit Kyoto.

"Over the years, the regent has taken control of the government, and the army has improved. But it is not as good as the Wei army, which is strong and well-armed. We prepared well. ”

"Isn't Wei Jun going to hand over the princess? Xu handed over the princess, so there was no need to fight. ”

"It's just an excuse. News came from Wei that the princess had killed Ju Yonghou of Wei and assassinated Emperor Wei.

And who knows, whether this is true or false. Could this be Emperor Wei's conspiracy? ”

"In order to be famous, it is best to use the princess regent to make a fuss."

In May of the twelfth year of Kaiyuan, news came from the frontier that the Wei army once again broke through Fucheng and marched towards Nanyang City.

Xiao Jingxing sat at the head of the military department and discussed with the generals how to retreat from the enemy.

At the same time, he ordered Sun Wei to be the left forward and Yun Lan to be the right forward, and sent troops to Nanyang City to drive out the Wei army to defend the country.

Eunuch Xidefu hurriedly walked in, "The prince is not good, it is not good." ”

"The prince fell into the lotus pond of the Imperial Garden and drowned."

"The prince drowned?" The ministers were shocked.

The emperor has five sons, but Han You rebelled and killed four, leaving only the crown prince.

Now that even the crown prince is dead, isn't this the last one?

Everyone looked at the Regent, and wondered if it was the Regent who had done this.

This time he was really wronged, Xiao Jingxing really didn't want to hurt the prince.

"Come into the palace quickly, the emperor will summon you." Eunuch Xi Defu said.

Not long after Xiao Jing entered the palace, a holy decree came out from the Yong'an Palace.

Li Xiao Huaili is the crown prince, Feng Su is the wife of Endli, and enjoys the prince's fortune.
