Chapter Forty-Nine: Sitting (1st Shift)
Gu Qingyan knew that Chu Xian had something to say to An Huajin, and after entering the Great Prince's Mansion, An Yining was very curious about the Great Prince's Mansion, so he and An Yining were led by the housekeeper to visit the Great Prince's Mansion, leaving space for An Huajin and Chu Xian to talk.
Chu Xian has long wanted to meet the little sister in An Qichen's mouth, in the mouth of An Qichen, his little sister is a mischievous little girl, she is the best at uncovering tiles and fighting or something, she is the best, often gives him a headache, in his impression, she is a naughty, arrogant, domineering and bold little girl.
came out of the forbidden place, and most of what he heard and said were the powerful words of Lord An Xiaojun.
And then there is Gu Qingyan's affection for An Huajin, and people like him were planted on her.
She came to Beijing with 300,000 soldiers and horses, and quietly appeared in the capital for hundreds of miles, causing a thunderclap on everyone's heads. You must know that from Nanyang to the capital, it is seven or eight thousand miles long, and there are many mountains, and even Wang Anzhi did not get the news in advance.
How can it be easily described as "powerful"?
The grand court meeting of the Jinluan Palace, although she came to Beijing with 300,000 soldiers and horses, there was no edge and arrogance on her body, with three points of cold, three points of quiet, three points of light, one point of pride, the pearl of the moon, put the factual evidence in front of her, so that all the courtiers had nothing to say, so that the soldiers solved the case of Yuxueling that year without blood, beat his father to death on the golden chair, issued an edict of guilt, wrote a book of harmony, and released it to the queen.
At that moment, he stood on the Golden Palace and watched, and finally understood why Gu Qingyan was planted on her.
Today, he invited her to the mansion, and looked at her again, which was different from the day of the Golden Palace, she had no cold and indifferent eyes, like a little girl, but it didn't seem to be, not so delicate, modest and casual, gentle and polite between words and smiles, not cold and not alienated, it seemed that everything was just right.
He admired, this is Qichen's sister, the little county lord of Nanyang, it turns out that she has grown up and is like this. Venucia is in the spirit of heaven, and we should feel relieved and proud.
"I heard that the old prince is deceased?" Chu Xian asked with some sadness.
An Huajin nodded, "Grandpa is old, he fell ill in the early years, and the weather is too cold this winter, his body can't be tossed, and he will fall ill after going to the capital and going back." From illness to death, it was only seven days, and I didn't suffer anything, and I went very peacefully. ”
Chu Xian said sadly, "When I was in the capital, I saw that the old prince's body was still very strong......
"His body has always been carried with good medicine, if he doesn't worry about it, he can live for a year and a half longer, but he is a person who worries a lot. When I was in the capital, I was probably afraid of making trouble for my seventh cousin, so I held on. An Hua Jin said, "Your Highness doesn't have to grieve, people are inherently dead, grandpa is reunited with my parents and brothers, he has been looking forward to this day for a long time, if it weren't for me, it is estimated that he would have gone three years ago." Now I can't stand it. ”
Chu Xian nodded, "When the old prince was in Beijing, the seventh brother asked the imperial doctor to check the pulse every few days, saying that the old prince was good at life and peace, so it would be fine. ”
He asked tentatively, "Did he know about the events of the year after leaving Beijing and returning to Nanyang?" ”
Anhua brocade bowed, "Well, I know, Miss Wang Si used some means, and now she has paid for her life." ”
Chu Xian understood.
He knew about Wang Lanxin's suicide, thinking that it was because it was hopeless to marry Gu Qingyan, but he didn't expect that there was this inside story, so it was a pity to die innocently.
"When does the little county lord plan to leave Beijing? As soon as you go, the queen mother will follow you. Chu Xian said reluctantly, "Although I know in my heart that it is her heart's desire for the queen mother to return to Nanyang, I can't do my filial piety in the future, and I always feel that I don't want her to leave Beijing." ”
Anhua Jin said, "In a few days, the news of the Southern Qi and Southern Liang Xingbing will come, and I will leave." ”
Chu Xian was taken aback, "Nanqi and Nanliang want to raise troops?" ”
"Hmm." An Huajin nodded, the purpose of the eldest prince to invite her to sit in the mansion today was to talk to her, then, her purpose was to let the eldest prince have a mental preparation for Chu Yan to lead the troops to Mobei smoothly.
Chu Xian was nervous and looked at An Huajin, "Is the news true?" ”
"Indeed." An Hua Jin said, "Zhang Chengze has been rushing to war, and the king of Southern Liang is ambitious and has long been intentional. ”
She paused and said, "But this time, if Nanqi and Nanliang are not bad as I expected, they will raise troops from Mobei." ”
Chu Xian was shocked again, "Mobei is a man who is not open, occupying the key points of natural danger, if Southern Qi and Southern Liang can attack, they will already break through Mobei." ”
"In the past, Nanqi and Nanliang were reluctant to lose soldiers, but if this time, Nanqi and Nanliang were willing to give up more than 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers and horses? With the heroic souls of 200,000 soldiers and horses to open the way, if these people and horses sacrifice blood, can't they smash the danger of Mobei? ”
Chu Xian's face changed, "Mobei only has 200,000 soldiers and horses, in this case, Mobei is in danger." ”
"So, I brought 300,000 soldiers and horses and handed them over to my seventh cousin." Anhua Jin's point is up, "500,000 soldiers and horses, plus a dangerous pass, can block the heavy troops of Southern Qi and Southern Liang to attack the city." ”
Chu Xian was stunned.
An Huajin said again, "When the time comes, I will lead the troops from Nanyang, and the troops will be divided into two routes, counterattacking the inland of Nanqi and Nanliang, logistics supply, no one in the court will make a stumbling block, and then it will depend on His Royal Highness, I will say hello to you in advance." ”
Chu Xian was stunned again, "Counterattack? ”
"Yes." An Huajin smiled at him, "My brother once said that he wanted Ma to step on Nanqi and Nanliang, so that they could see the power of Da Chu, and I will help him complete my brother's bold words." ”
Chu Xian suddenly became excited, what he remembered most deeply was An Qichen's words back then, the young man's high-spirited appearance, he remembered it for a lifetime, and he immediately said, "Okay, I will definitely ensure that the supply behind you is smooth, and do not let the internal affairs drag down the Nanyang Army to fight on the front line." ”
The conspiracy behind the Battle of Yuxueling eight years ago will never be there again.
An Huajin smiled and nodded, "I believe that Your Highness, Your Highness's armory, borrow the Nanyang Army?" ”
"Naturally! The day I built the armory, it was for the Nanyang Army. Chu Xian immediately said, "Shelving it is a pile of scrap iron, which will add wings to the Nanyang Army, but I want the seventh brother to nod." ”
He sighed, "Now everyone outside is shouting that His Majesty wants to abdicate and the seventh brother to ascend the throne, but I think the seventh brother has no plans to ascend the throne at present." How can this continue? Or the courtiers still want to persuade him more. ”
An Huajin naturally knew why Chu Yan didn't ascend the throne, she said with a smile, "It was probably me who mentioned to my seventh cousin that Nanqi and Nanliang were raising troops, so there was not enough time to take the throne, and now the top priority should be to deal with Nanqi and Nanliang." ”
"Yes. But Your Majesty has lost the hearts of the people, has lost the hearts of the ministers, the king and the prince, in the end, the difference is in the end, the country cannot be without a king for a day. It's better to get ready as soon as possible. Chu Xian is worried about the country and the people, "Otherwise, it will not be conducive to internal affairs in the long run." ”
An Huajin smiled, "With His Royal Highness here, the seventh cousin and your brother are working together, you can help a little more, and there will be no big mistakes." ”
Chu Xian nodded, "For the sake of Da Chu and the seventh brother, I am naturally duty-bound." ”
After saying this, the two said something else, and finally Chu Xian said, "Huai'an can follow the little county lord to Nanyang?" ”
"He won't go, stay in the capital and help His Highness." Anhua Jindao, "He didn't have much effect when he went to Nanyang, and he could only play his role if he stayed in the capital." ”
Chu Xian smiled, "Then you get married, and the time is far away." ”
"It's not far away, there are elite soldiers, good weapons, and one heart, I don't plan to let the war drag on for too long." An Huajin is very confident, "At most, the next year." ”
Chu Xian also surged with enthusiasm, "On the day of the victory of the little county lord, I salute him with wine. ”
This was the agreement he made with An Qichen at the beginning.
"Yes, on the day of victory, you will drink the wine of your highness." An Huajin readily agreed.
On the same day, An Huajin, Gu Qingyan, and An Yining left after lunch in the Great Prince's Mansion.
After they left, Chu Xian went to the Prince's Mansion.
In the prince's mansion, Chu Yan was surrounded by several important ministers of the court, persuading His Royal Highness the prince to prepare for boarding.
Chu Yan was indifferent, "This palace will consider, do you have anything else to do?" ”
Several important ministers always feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not seem to be interested in ascending the throne, since ancient times, which prince is not concerned about ascending the throne? Chu Yan is really an alternative.
One person said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Zaifu and Xu Jing are still locked up in the prison for the time being, how to deal with them?" Don't you kill? ”
"Wait and make a decision." Chu Yan said.
The courtiers are very strange, Zhang Zaifu and Xu Jing deserve to die, why do they not kill? But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would wait until he made a decision, that is, there must be a plan.
Several important ministers of the court came out of Chu Yan's study, met Chu Xian head-on, and greeted Chu Xian together.
One said, "Your Highness, please persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not seem to have any intention of ascending the throne. But His Majesty must abdicate and not delay too long. It's time to get ready for the enthronement. ”
"Okay, I'll persuade you, thank you for your hard work." Chu Xian nodded.
The courtiers were relieved and left the prince's mansion.
