The saint did not speak, but looked up at the ministers kneeling in the hall.

Seeing that the saint did not speak, the prince thought that he did not believe in his own ability, so he then begged: "Father, let the sons and daughters lead the troops!" In recent years, the sons have studied the art of war hard, just so that one day they can lead the army to protect the country! In the face of a small southern Xinjiang, why be afraid! Erchen will definitely seek back his dignity for my Chang'an! ”

"Get your dignity back?" The Holy One asked, "Is dignity earned by fighting?" Are you so sure you have what it takes? ”

Seeing the saint's questioning, the old minister kneeling next to him said: "Saint, the southern Xinjiang has always been a small country with weak soldiers, and it can't become any climate, His Royal Highness the prince is wise and powerful, I believe that he will be able to defeat the prince of southern Xinjiang, and the saint doesn't have to worry about this matter." ”

Seeing that someone was speaking for him, the prince smiled happily and looked at the old minister gratefully.

"Holy." The queen mother opened her mouth, "If it is about martial arts and military strength, the emperor will naturally not lose to the prince of southern Xinjiang, but the people of southern Xinjiang are good at using Gu poison and like to start from behind their backs, and they can't prevent it, isn't it too risky to ask the emperor to go?" ”

Hearing the obstruction of the queen mother, the joyful look on the prince's face immediately turned to anxiety, he is an anxious son, how can he let go of this opportunity to show his revenge? So much so that he didn't care about his safety.

The saint said in a low voice: "Last night, I have already sent General Ye Hanye to southern Xinjiang, I believe that it should not be difficult to sweep away the war in southern Xinjiang, and it doesn't hurt for the prince to go, just to help General Ye." ”

"Daddy went to southern Xinjiang?" Ye Linghan asked in surprise, he was a little incredible, Ye Han had retired for a long time, and he had long since stopped asking about political affairs, how important was this rebellion in southern Xinjiang, and the saint actually involved Ye Han.

"Holy Lord, lead the troops to fight, just hand it over to Ye Linghan, my father is old, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it." Ye Linghan knelt down and pleaded: "The minister implores me to go to Southern Xinjiang and come back for my father!" ”

Regarding Ye Han's return to his hometown, it will always be a pain in Ye Linghan's heart, when his father led the troops to fight outside, he couldn't see his mother all the year round, and his biggest wish was to spend his old age with his mother in his old age, and he would be with each other. Finally, after Ye Linghan became a brocade guard, Ye Han retired from the official position and hid at home to ignore the political situation, but now the saint has re-called Ye Han, which makes Ye Linghan, a son, very uncomfortable.

Moreover, he has a faint intuition that Southern Xinjiang is not as easy to deal with as everyone thinks, Ye Han went to Southern Xinjiang this time, it can be said that he is facing a great enemy, he has not led troops for many years, I don't know if he can come back safely.

Seeing him like this, I really couldn't bear it in my heart, if this matter started because of me, then I also have the responsibility to help Chang'an resolve this crisis, I stepped forward and knelt in front of the saint: "Uncle, let me go with Ye Linghan, this matter started because of me, I want to resolve this disaster, there is no need for us to have so many disputes, causing so many killings, rivers of blood, and misery, this is the result that none of us wants to see!" So, let me go! I really don't have any grand goals to dominate the world, and I don't want to be an empress, believe me, let me go! ”

This is the first time I have called Uncle Sheng in front of everyone, because at this moment, my identity as Princess Qingyi is a burden, and I try to use family affection to influence him and let him know that I don't have any dissent.

"Ye Linghan, I can't go to southern Xinjiang." The saint said coldly: "You can't go to Southern Xinjiang either. ”

"Why?" The two of us asked in unison.

"Because now the turmoil is not only in the southern Xinjiang, but also in the northern desert, the king of Inurong, are you right?" Shengshang looked at the Dog Rong King with a cold face.

The atmosphere suddenly became eerie and cold.

The face of the King of Inu Rong sank, and what he was most worried about still happened.

"Shengshang, the Xiongnu pressed the northern border, nothing more than to ensure that Princess Qingyi could return to the Northern Desert smoothly, the Xiongnu have always been in line with the principle of peace and friendship, don't misunderstand." King Dog Rong said with his fists clenched.

"Misunderstanding?" The saint glanced at the King of Dog Rong and returned to his seat again, "I don't insist on misunderstanding this matter, it's just that the Xiongnu's suppression of the army is related to the lives of tens of thousands of people in my northern border, how can I not pay attention to it?" How can you not think about it? I don't say that there must be turmoil in the northern desert now, but it is still necessary to protect the people in my northern border and take appropriate precautions, right? ”

King Dog Rong pursed his lips and said, "What the Holy Lord said is true." ”

"So, Ye Linghan, you are going to the Northern Desert to lead the troops." Shengshang looked at Ye Linghan and said, "If the king of the Huns does not send troops, Chang'an will never send troops, if the king of the Huns sends troops, then I must do my best to protect my territory and people in the north!" ”

Want to go to the Northern Desert at night?

My brain still can't come back to my senses, why is there civil strife in southern Xinjiang all of a sudden, why is it that Ye Linghan is going to lead troops to guard the northern desert?

Shengshang continued: "But this matter is not so urgent, the Inurong King will stay in the palace until the end of Heze's birthday ceremony. Chang'an did not intend to be an enemy of the Northern Desert, and hoped that the King of Inurong would return to the Northern Desert at that time and persuade the King of the Huns to withdraw his troops. ”

At this point, I have to admire the perseverance and courage of the Holy One, and I have to worship his frankness and directness. He dared to take it out and tell the King of Dog Rong about the suppression of the troops in the Northern Desert, and he did not exaggerate Chang'an's ability without conceit, which is enough to show his clarity of thinking and accurate understanding of himself. If you can not use troops, you will not use troops, but you will swear to defend your people and territory to the death, which is the courage and heart that a benevolent monarch should have.

If something goes wrong, everyone comes up with a solution and puts the matter in front of everyone, even if this person may be an enemy, it is much better than hiding a knife in a smile and secretly suspecting.

King Dog Rong responded with his hands clenched into fists: "The Northern Desert has no intention of provoking a war, and the tribes of the Northern Desert swear to defend the orphans of the Holy Lord and the safety of Princess Qingyi!" ”

Although he said this sentence in order to explain the Xiongnu's troops, it sounded so similar to the military orders in southern Xinjiang on this occasion.

Anger appeared on the saint's face, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Qingyi." He turned his head to look at me, "Are you really willing to help Chang'an and help the people of Li to survive this catastrophe?" ”

Of course I do! Regardless of whether this incident started because of me or not, whether it has anything to do with me, war and death are things I don't want to see, and if I have the ability, I will definitely stop it!

My head was like pounding garlic, hoping that the Holy One would see my sincerity.

"Very good," the saint nodded with satisfaction, "With your help, the war will be much easier to solve." I will ask the crown prince to go to southern Xinjiang with your handwritten edict to see if we can suppress the situation of the war first, after all, they say that they are raising troops for you, even if it does not work, it can confuse the hearts of the people in southern Xinjiang and boost the morale of our army. ”

"Of course Qingyi is willing!" If you can stop the war, let alone say that it is an edict, even if I am willing to stand on the city wall and shout in person!

"Next, General Ye Hanye will help you communicate with Southern Xinjiang, I hope you can cooperate." The saint said.

I nodded, what is the situation in southern Xinjiang now? I don't know any of them, so what's the use of me writing them a few letters? I think it's inexplicable, but no matter what, as long as it can solve the problem, it's a good way.

The saint nodded to me, he was willing to believe me once, he turned his face to look at the prince, with a reluctant look on his face, it is estimated that this is also the first time the prince has led the army to fight, as a father, even if he is the emperor, he will inevitably protect his son's heart.

"Tomorrow, you will lead the troops to southern Xinjiang. Remember, everything must be done according to General Yehanye's instructions. The Holy One admonished.

The crown prince was in good spirits and knelt on the ground to receive the order, "The sons and daughters must obey the teachings of their father." ”

This matter is decided for the time being, and our group has all withdrawn from the holy imperial study, and the prince has gone back to prepare his bags, and will go to southern Xinjiang tomorrow. General Zhang followed me back to Anle Palace, and I will write an edict for the prince to bring to southern Xinjiang tomorrow. And Ye Linghan is with us, tomorrow, he will go to the Northern Desert, although there is no war for the time being, but I am still worried about him, and I am panicked for his departure.

The king of Inurong is going to stay in the palace for a while, it is estimated that in the next few days, his palace will be heavily guarded, and his whereabouts are estimated to be free, but looking at his calm and relaxed appearance, I am also relieved, sure enough, it is a man from the Northern Desert, who has seen the world for a long time, and no matter what happens, Mount Tai can collapse in front of him without changing his face.

Liyan and Qiming, they have now returned to the Northern Desert, right? If they were also there, then Ye Linghan would not be threatened for the time being, and there would be no major danger.

Maybe this is why the Holy Lord sent Ye Linghan to the Northern Desert, if he led the troops, the Dog Rong and the Xiongnu, more or less would give him a little face, delay or end the battle plan, so that Chang'an could draw some troops to fight against the southern frontier. The forces in southern Xinjiang are not strong, and it will not take long for Chang'an to break out of the cage of flanking attacks.

"Qingyi, why don't we go to Anle Palace to accompany you first?" When I was about to reach the fork in the road, the King of Inurong asked me, and he raised his head to look at Ye Linghan and ask for his opinion.

Ye Linghan looked at me, his eyes were soft and distressed, and he thought for a moment and said, "Yes, today's matter is too sudden, Qingyi, don't be afraid, we will all be by your side." ”

At this moment, I do have too many questions I want to talk to them, "That's fine, then everyone can come and sit in my Anle Palace!" General Zhang, would you like to come along? I would like to know a little more about the people of southern Xinjiang. ”

General Zhang nodded, and the four of us walked together in the direction of Anle Palace.

Inadvertently, I saw that the old minister who had just asked the prince to go to war with the saint was led by a palace maid, and soon disappeared in the corner of the palace in the distance......
