However, Pang Yun miscalculated the situation, and when he was preparing for a large-scale attack, Zhao Zheng had already sent people to quickly ask the front-line generals to make arrangements for the active attack, which caught Pang Yun's army by surprise and dispersed.

The two generals, Xiao Yifu and Tong Guansheng, divided into two routes, one chasing and the other gambling, which greatly damaged Pang Yun's army and withdrew all the way to southern Yunnan.

The good news came frequently, which made the court of Nanxia happy. With this joy, some ministers proposed to let the crown prince ascend the throne as soon as possible.

The court, which was originally happy with the war report, immediately fell silent.

The courtiers whispered about letting the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible, but it was the first time that he brought it up in front of Zhao Zheng, and everyone didn't know how Zhao Zheng would reply, so everyone waited quietly and worriedly.

Zhao Zheng looked at everyone, and then said slowly: "Then hand over this matter to the Ministry of Rites, and they will choose an auspicious day, and the prince can ascend the throne." ”

The Ministry of Rites hurriedly received the order.

The ministers half-bowed their heads, each thinking about it, but they felt that things were far from being so simple.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhao Zheng said again: "The prince is young, and he needs someone to assist him after ascending the throne, who do the ministers think is the most suitable?" ”

"Naturally, you are the most suitable for the Seventh Prince." This time, An Peiquan stood firmly on Zhao Zheng's side again.

An Peiquan is a person, who has a prosperous official fortune in his life, not by luck, but by the wisdom of judging the situation, he has seen the current situation in Nanxia thoroughly, the emperor and queen have passed away, the prince is young, who else can take over this mess except Zhao Zheng, those princes scattered outside the capital, Rao has the heart and the ability.

As soon as An Pei's words came out, some people immediately echoed him, and then there were more and more voices of echoing, and the ministers unanimously elected Zhao Zheng as the regent to assist the crown prince.

"This king has been helping to take care of the government for more than a few months since the emperor's brother Long Ti was sick, and he knows that it is painstaking to take care of the government, and this position has long been unwilling to sit in this position, so your heart is good, but this king is really tired, and you can find another candidate to assist the prince." Zhao Zheng looked at the courtiers for a long time and said slowly.

Zhao Zheng's resignation was unexpected by everyone, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Retreat." After Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he got up and left the Jinluan Palace.

However, the courtiers did not retreat for a long time, but panicked in the Jinluan Palace, what did Zhao Zheng mean when he said that he didn't want to be the regent? Do you want to leave the court, or do you want to be the emperor?

Of course, the idea of wanting to be the emperor is just a guess in the hearts of the ministers, and no one dares to say it, so everyone is a little cautious and scruples when they speak.

The affairs of the court were not long before it reached Fushou Palace, and when she learned that Zhao Zheng was unwilling to be the regent to assist the court, the queen mother was a little surprised, and after the accident, she was worried from the bottom of her heart. She is worried that Zhao Zheng wants to be the emperor, although Zhao Guang and Zhao Zheng are her sons, but she cares more about inheritance and rules, this world is passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors, since Zhao Yincheng is the crown prince, then this emperor should be done by him, Zhao is a prince, and he must not sit on the emperor beyond the prince.

"Let those ministers come to the mourning family and discuss a solution." The Queen Mother thought about it again and again, and finally ordered someone to invite the Minister of Aircraft.

And Zhao Zheng returned to the palace after the early dynasty.

It is rare to return at this hour, and Shen Yuexi stepped forward, "How did you go back so early today?" ”

Zhao Zheng lay down on the couch, "I'm ready to rest for a few days, I'm too tired during this time." ”

Shen Yuexi sat on the side, gently rubbed Zhao Zheng's shoulders, and didn't ask anything.

Zhao Zheng closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.

Shen Yuexi looked at Zhao Zheng, his face was a little tired, but for a few months, he had been tired and emaciated, and his face was visible vicissitudes.

Power is a double-edged sword, and once you have it, it quickly consumes you.

Shen Yuexi helped Zhao Zheng cover the thin quilt, gently walked out of Tengchong Courtyard, and personally went to the dining room to instruct to make more nourishing food at noon, "The Seventh Prince is rare to come back for lunch now, you have to think more about it." ”

The servants in the dining room hurriedly responded and began to prepare busily.

Shen Yuexi walked out of the dining room and walked slowly on the corridor, guessing what was going on in the court.

Zhao Zheng fell asleep and didn't wake up until noon.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Shen Yuexi sitting on the side, fiddling with a silk handkerchief in her hand, looking a little bored after sitting for a long time.

"What are you thinking?" Zhao Zheng asked softly.

Shen Yuexi turned her head to look at Zhao Zheng and smiled, "I didn't think about anything, I was in a daze." ”

Zhao Zheng got up, looked at the sky outside, and then sighed, "It seems that I haven't slept so sweetly for a long time." ”

"I instructed the dining room to make some nourishing food and boil some nourishing soup, Seventh Master, you have been too tired recently, and you have lost weight." Shen Yuexi said, reaching out and touching Zhao Zheng's face.

Zhao Zheng took the opportunity to hold Shen Yuexi's hand, "When I saw you, most of those tiredness were dispersed." ”

Shen Yuexi's smile deepened, and her eyes showed tenderness and sweetness, "I have this effect and I feel at ease." ”

The two were laughing as someone came in to deliver lunch.

Zhao Zheng sighed, "It's been a long time since I've had lunch with you, and I've really snubbed you these days." ”

Shen Yuexi smiled, "I'm not a three-year-old child, I can distinguish priorities, I know that you are busy, and I have never blamed you." ”

Zhao Zheng held Shen Yuexi's hand, "When the weather is cold in a few days, I will take you to see the maple leaves outside the city, the Nanshan Mountain outside the capital is full of maple trees." ”

Shen Yuexi nodded.

After lunch, Zhao Zheng still had no intention of returning to the court, but continued to lean on the couch and read a military book.

"Is Shen Yi interested in the art of war?" Looking at it, Zhao Zheng suddenly asked Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi thought about it, in the past, my brother and Ku Zhuo talked about the art of war from time to time, but how could I tell Zhao Zheng about these things. Zhao Zheng should be very taboo and clumsy about this name.

"My brother has a wide range of interests, he reads military books, poems, and historical records, and sometimes he reads scriptures." Shen Yuexi replied.

"Read the scriptures," Zhao Zheng smiled slightly, "That's right, it seems that he won't feel bored in Yunyou Temple, there are many scriptures there, and he can also talk about scriptures with Huineng." ”

Shen Yuexi also smiled, "I hope he can use the scriptures to calm his mind and forget the past." ”

"You want him to forget the past?"

"I always remember what happened to the Shen family, so I have always been unhappy, I hope my brother can live a happier life."

Zhao Zheng didn't say anything more, helped Shen Yuexi sit down, and finished the meal quietly with her.

"What happened in the court today?" With dinner, Shen Yuexi asked.

"Some ministers proposed to let the crown prince ascend the throne as soon as possible, after all, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day."

Shen Yuexi thought about it, is there any direct connection between this matter and Zhao Zheng's return to the house?

"After the crown prince ascends the throne, what about you, the seventh master?"

"The ministers recommended me to be the regent."

"What do you mean, Seventh Master?"

Zhao Zheng put down the military book and looked at Shen Yuexi, "Guess what." ”

"I can't guess."

"I excused myself." Zhao Zheng said, "Why do you say I resigned? ”

Shen Yuexi looked at Zhao Zheng, "Some of the sayings left by the ancients are very interesting, such as crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, such as taking revenge, such as hiding the bow of the bird, all of which are said that human nature is easy to be treacherous, Seventh Master, you have worked hard for Nanxia, and the prince may not be willing to accept your love when he becomes an adult in the future, so I think Seventh Master, you are right." ”

When Zhao Zheng heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, he got up and surrounded Shen Yuexi from behind with his hands, "I have you by my side, it's the greatest blessing, don't ask too much for the side." ”

This is a nice thing to say, but Shen Yuexi knows that this is not Zhao Zheng's heart, Zhao Zheng's resignation is for a better welcome in the future, since the day he got involved in the court, he is destined to be unable to get out.

Therefore, Shen Yuexi was not in a hurry, she knew that the emperor of Southern Xia was about to change hands.

**

Outside the city of Youzhou, military camp. Xinying brought the news of Zhao Guang's death to Hu.

After looking at it, he immediately sent the news to Yuanjing.

"These days, pay close attention to military training, there should be a vicious battle between Beihu and Nanxia." After the secret letter was sent, Hu Clumsy said to Mugodo.

Hearing this, Mu Geduo raised his head and stretched his muscles, "General, how about your subordinates invite you to go to Hongyan Building for a drink today?" How to have fun before the war. ”

Well. Suddenly, I answered.

Mu Geduo was very happy, he originally thought that Hu Clumsy would refuse, since he met Shen Yuexi, Hu Clumsy no longer lingered in those fireworks places, Mu Geduo very much wanted Hu Clumsy to have a drink and have fun, man, it is not good to be depressed for too long after all.

Back in Youzhou City, the two went to Hongyan Building, and the old bustard diligently helped them open a private room, served good tea, and called four or five girls to go in and serve.

"Tea is spared, and two jars of good wine are trough." Suddenly, he commanded.

The old bustard hurriedly responded and brought the tea away, and after a while, the two men walked in with a jar of wine.

After a while, the dishes with the sake also came.

The girl in Hongyan Mansion poured wine for Kuchou and Mu Geduo, and watched Kuclump and Mu Geduo drink the wine in one go, and praised the amount of wine.

Such hypocritical and pompous words annoyed Clumsy and waved them all down.

Mu Geduo hurriedly stopped, "General, what do you mean by just you and me, just stay and pour wine," and then Mu Geduo looked at the girls, "It's okay to pour wine, don't say more, you know?" ”

A few girls nodded, scared and afraid to come out.

After drinking a jar of wine, he clumsily said to Mu Geduo: "In the past, Yuexi was also very fond of talking and laughing, and I listened to it happily all day long. ”

Hearing Shen Yuexi mentioned Shen Yuexi again, Mu Geduo sighed in his heart, "General, it's been so long, you should forget about her." ”

Another sentence Mu Geduo is not easy to say, then Shen Yuexi is now the seventh princess of Southern Xia, even if she misses her, what can she do.

"I want to forget, but I can't." Suddenly smiled helplessly, and drank another bowl of wine.

"That subordinate will accompany you all the way to capture Nanxia and help you get her back." Mu Geduo made a bold statement, and also drank a bowl of wine.
