The heavy rain in the past few days seemed to be only for the flood to survive, and as soon as the news of the flood in Guangling reached the capital, all parts of the Celestial Empire ushered in a sunny day. The same is true in the capital, the rain stops at the fifth watch, and the fiery red sun just after the hour slowly rises in front of people's expectations, squeezing away the dark clouds in the sky, but it can't drive away the haze that shrouds people's hearts.

Taiji Hall in Beijing

Emperor Zhaowen appeared on time above the main hall, listening to the ministers below shouting long live, and his heart was anxious: "At the fourth watch, I received the news that there was a flood in Guangling, and there were countless deaths and injuries; It has been a day since Annam launched its troops yesterday. ”

"How so? Isn't the Ling Han Dam known as indestructible? ”

"Yes! Annan actually raised troops at this time, and it was really a barbarian land that could do such a shameful thing. ”

"The minister's request to go on the expedition will make sure that there will be no return for the country of Annan!"

There were many discussions in the court, Emperor Zhaowen watched silently for two minutes, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Zilong, who asked for the order, and the general of Zhengerpin Jinwu was awarded the title of marquis, and it really did not disappoint, when he heard that Annan took advantage of the situation to raise troops, his eyes erupted with anger.

"Dingguo Marquis Yang Zilong receives the order!"

Emperor Zhaowen nodded with satisfaction, and beside him, Li Sheng took out a holy decree and shouted, and all the officials knelt down.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Yang Zilong is the generalissimo of the southern army and horses, and he will lead 300,000 troops to go out immediately, there must be no mistake!"

"Command!"

"Father, son, please go on the expedition!"

At this time, the four princes came in a hurry, he just got the news this morning, the flood in Guangling, the disappearance of the prince, Annan raised troops, such a good opportunity, he will not let go, and no matter how the prince is now, as long as the expedition is smooth, he will be allowed to die if he does not die, and the war in Annan, as long as he holds the Zhennan Pass, it is a victory, such a God-given opportunity, even if he is punished for disobeying the will, he is willing, not to mention that once he triumphs, the merit is greater than the fault, who will remember the mistakes made by the prince?

"Yang Aiqing went down to prepare, and Lu Aiqing immediately prepared enough grain and grass so as not to delay the expedition!"

"Command!" Lu Song was unwilling, he wanted to stay and say a few words for the fourth prince, but he didn't want the emperor to give him a chance at all.

"Father-Erchen also wants to do something for our dynasty, do a little bit, and hope that my father will be successful!" The fourth prince, Wang Taijiu, knelt on the ground and prayed.

Emperor Zhaowen looked at his son below and narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of a key letter sent by Chang Tianyou: The Four Highnesses will definitely insist on going out of the palace gate at this time regardless of the will of the Holy Lord, and then ask for the order to go on the expedition, but the situation in the south is complicated, and it is enough to have the prince, if the two best princes are gathered here, it may be criticized, so the minister has the courage to suggest: If the Four Highnesses insist on going on the expedition, they will not be sent to the north, if the Tatars send troops, there are the four highnesses who are still martial, I believe that even if they cannot win, it will be more than enough to be conservative.

After reading this letter at that time, he knew in his heart that this was his grandson vaguely reminding himself that once the four princes went to the south, no one dared to guarantee whether the prince would be able to return to Beijing safely if he had nothing to do.

"My son is really worried about the country and the people, there was a prince who was worried about Guangling, and now there is Taijiu asking for his life for the country and the people, I am very pleased."

"Father—"

"Spread my will, the fourth prince Wang Taijiu has been brave and knowledgeable, both civil and military, and now the national disaster is the first to come forward, it is really a model for all princes, from now on, he will be crowned as the king of martial arts, lead 100,000 troops to Shanhaiguan, guard this pass at all costs, and never let a Tatar soldier enter the territory of our dynasty for half a step!"

"Father-son, obey!" He was unwilling and wanted to ask again, but he saw a warning in the depths of the other party's eyes.

"Spread my will, the war just broke out in Yulin Pass a few years ago, even if there is a recovery action, it will not be too big, I believe that with the ability of Yulin Captain Ji Mingchen, it will be worry-free, but in order to avoid accidents, send Chang Shizhong, the marquis of Yipinzhu, to sit in Yulin; As for Fusang in the east, he is good at water warfare, and the Manchu Dynasty only has Zheng Zhonghe, the secretary of the military department, who understands it slightly, but he is too old and can command operations, but it is a little difficult to go on the expedition, but Zhu Aiqing still has a suitable candidate? ”

"Your Majesty, although the old minister is old, but the sword is not old, please ask the emperor to issue a decree, and the minister is willing to lead the troops to the battle!" Zheng Zhonghe strode out, his voice like a flood.

"Zheng Aiqing's patriotic heart, I naturally know, you are relieved, the generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition is naturally still you, but you still need a striker who understands water warfare!"

"Your Majesty, Yang Zhiyuan, the son of the Marquis of Dingguo, has been studying the art of water warfare since he was ten years old, and he has heard that he has a little success, but he has no actual combat experience, so he is not afraid to send him there, first, to fight for Lord Zheng, and secondly, he is both civil and military, and he is a rare military talent, and this expedition can be regarded as a training for him." Xu Wenbo, the Marquis of Wenzhu, walked out and said.

"Yang Zhiyuan? I remember that he seemed to be only fourteen years old. ”

"Exactly! He is indeed a little younger, but he is in a hurry, and the Yang family is a military general, and I believe that the Marquis of Dingguo will also be willing to let him go on the expedition alone, after all, learning water warfare is also his meaning. ”

Emperor Zhaowen's eyes suddenly appeared in front of Chang Tianyou's figure, that child left home to go to Yulin Pass when he was eleven years old, and won the official position of General Zhengliupin Jianwei with his own ability, so what is Yang Zhiyuan, who is already fourteen years old, not up to the task?

"Preach the message!" He got up and left these three words alone, and walked out of the Taiji Hall in the midst of the shouts of the ministers.

Half an hour later, the three-way army set off in the east, south, and north directions, while Chang Shizhong went straight to Yulin Pass under the escort of the Yulin army.

Qingzhou Mansion

Qingyan stood under the blue water pavilion, looking in the direction of Guangling, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense, she didn't dare to think about what to do if the prince couldn't find it anymore? Will the four princes ascend the throne smoothly? After all, among the current holy princes, only these two people are the best and have the ability to govern the country. If it is really the latter, then all previous efforts will be in vain, and the past of that life will be repeated.

No! No! If that's the case, then what's the point of coming back in this life? There have been too many accidents since he came back, but the general direction has never changed, does that mean that this time the prince must be in danger?

"Yihan, get ready, I want to go to Guangling in person!"

"Miss—"

"Junjun—"

Yi Han, Yi Xuan, Ling Shan, and Ling Feng exclaimed, Guangling is now in crisis, and even the prince has disappeared without a trace, although she is smart, but after all, she is a weak woman, what do you plan to do after you go? And what can be done?

"Don't say anything, I know it! Yixuan packed up her things, and this time you will go with you! Ling Feng, you don't deceive the heavens, let Jasmine take some necessary medicinal materials in case of accidents; Ling Shan, you go and see how Qingping's injuries are, and see if you can accompany him this time? Yihan, you follow me to Caohui Hall! ”

She turned around and walked out of the Bishui Pavilion, this time to go to Guangling will not be short, so if this matter is not allowed by her grandfather, even if she is fully prepared, it is impossible to leave the house with peace of mind, but she has to do this thing, otherwise there is always a feeling that she is going to lose something important.

Caohui Hall

"No way!" Qing Sanyuan directly rejected her request without any hesitation.

"Grandfather, I"

"Yan'er, you have to know that you are a girl, even if you are appreciated by the saint and named the prince of Liupin, but you are still a daughter's family, this time the prince went to Guangling, the emperor did not know that it was your advice, once you know, it will be a disaster for you and for the Hou Mansion, now what you can do is to stay at home and find the prince, I have arranged it, you don't have to go in person."

"But grandfather, I know Yun Fei and the prince, and I believe that as long as I go in person, I will be able to find them as soon as possible."

"You think they're still alive?"

"Of course! The dignified prince, the most proud son of the Son of Heaven, will never be short-lived. ”

"In that case, you don't need to go, he'll be fine anyway, go back!"

"Grandfather—"

"Let's go back! I said no, but no! ”

She stood in place unwillingly for a long time, but she never got Qing Sanyuan's permission, she understood that the prince's accident this time had made her grandfather's expectations of her have been discounted, realizing this, she respectfully blessed her body, turned around and walked out, and walked towards the blue water pavilion in Yihan's worried eyes.

"Miss, listen to Master Hou's persuasion!" Only then did he enter his room, and Yi Han opened his mouth to persuade.

"Yi Han, you don't understand what the prince means to me, if I can't see him safe and sound with my own eyes, I'm just afraid that I won't have the motivation to live anymore, and Yun Fei, I sent it, if I didn't let him go, maybe now he is still in the sky and does not deceive me and Mo Xiangqing, I broke such a leisurely day with my own hands."

"Miss—"

"With the cold, the plan remains the same, tonight, we will leave the house!"

"Miss, no, if the Hou Ye knows, he will definitely be furious, and the third room and the old lady will take the opportunity to make trouble."

"It's just a clown jumping off the beam, don't bother with it!"

"Miss, where are you going?"

"Go see my mother, I'm sure she'll understand me."

Changyue Garden

Jiang Yingyue stood up from her seat in shock and stared at her for a moment, unable to believe that she would make such a decision.

"Yan'er, do you know that it is your eldest sister Qingyue who is going to marry the prince?"

"I know!"

"Do you know that even though you are a county king, it is just a temporary joy of the saints, and there is a possibility that it will be taken back at any time?"

"Yes!"

"Then do you know that you are the meat of your mother's heart? Is it your father's favorite favorite? Is it the heroine of your sister and brother who worships you? Is it your sister's pride? ”

"Mother, I-"

"Do you just say you know or don't you know?"

"I, I know!"

"Since you know that you still have to ignore your own safety and the worries of your relatives, go to the land of right and wrong in Guangling?"

"Yes! Daughter must go! ”

"Give me a reason!"

"The prince can't die, I"

"That has nothing to do with you, I said that it was Qingyue who was going to marry the prince, not you, not to mention that you should have avoided suspicion, take a step back and say that even if it is your eldest uncle, they will not misunderstand anything, aren't you afraid that the prince will have any thoughts? Between life and death, it is a time when people are emotionally vulnerable, if you go at this time, if you really save the prince, are you sure that he will not want to marry you as a concubine because of the grace of saving his life? ”
