The king of Yunnan is the backbone of southern Xinjiang, and now that he has died on the battlefield, if he does not calm the scene as soon as possible, if it makes people panic, then the development of the situation will be difficult to control.

After the incident, the generals of the frontier were sad and indignant in their hearts, but they still reacted at the first time, gathered the army, and waited for the battle.

These generals have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they have long looked down on life and death, the king of Yunnan was booby-trapped by the enemy and died on the battlefield, which is also his destination, but after all, he is the commander of one party, representing the majesty of the Chu State, and this name is even more important than himself.

It had been three days since the body of Yunnan Wang Dao was transported back to the Yunnan Palace, and the princess, who had always been calm, almost fainted.

The little girl who had been sent back to the palace followed the princess, staring blankly at the person who said she wanted to protect her, and was carried in with blood stains and eyes closed.

Up and down the palace, there was a mourning.

Nan Zhen, the second son of the king of Yunnan, served as a lieutenant in the army, and when he heard the news, he immediately rushed back.

When Nan Yu came back, the mourning hall had been arranged, and the princess and a girl she didn't know knelt aside, not caring about anything else, walking to the coffin and kneeling down, kowtowing a few times.

He fell on the ground and cried, "Father, the child is too late to come back. ”

When the princess heard this, she was even more sad, "Let's change the clothes first, relatives and friends will come to mourn." ”

Now that he is the only man in the house, to resist it, Nan Yu looked at his grief-stricken mother, and could only hold back his tears, retreat first, and change into filial piety clothes.

The people in the army also took the time to come to worship, but at this juncture, they could only come and see for a while.

After kneeling for a long time, the princess fainted once, and after resting, she still insisted on staying in the mourning hall.

That night, Nan Yu discussed his father's marriage with his mother, "Mother, father, he went like this, should we take my father's bones back to the Beijing Cemetery, or bury them here." ”

The princess reacted for a while before saying, "Your father has been here all his life, and he must still be worried about the future of the Chu State before he dies, so let him stay here and watch." ”

"Yes. ”

"Your father and I owe your eldest brother the most, now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in power, and he is a tolerant lord, this time there is such a big thing, the prince will at least let your eldest brother come back to guard your father's spirit, we still wait for him to come, and then do the burial. ”

Nan Yu said, "My father has always missed my eldest brother, and when my eldest brother came to see him for the last time, I immediately asked people to prepare ice cubes and preserve my father's body first, fortunately, the weather is not hot today." ”

The princess nodded, and Nan Yu was about to summon someone to come in and give orders, but the princess said, "Yu'er—"

"What else does the concubine have to say?"

"Although you grew up in the army with your father, I'm afraid the throne will still be inherited by your eldest brother, you-"

Nan Yu didn't wait for her to finish, and said comfortingly, "The eldest brother is the eldest son, and he should inherit the throne." Moreover, although I grew up in the army with my father, it is a pity that my qualifications are limited, and I can't learn one-twelfth of my father's abilities, my eldest brother is extremely talented, and he is a natural general, if it is not for our family, I don't have to be trapped in Beijing, and I can't display my talents, and now I meet His Royal Highness the Prince, the master, I will definitely have the opportunity to show my ambitions, and I will only be happy for him. ”

The princess was pleased, "Good boy, don't be presumptuous, I know that you also have your own pride, although you can't inherit the throne, but mother knows that you will do something yourself." ”

"The child will not disappoint his mother. ”

The mother and son comforted each other and finally survived a sleepless night.

On the second day, Xiao Geyue, the little marquis, arrived, and now he has experienced in the army and matured a lot, and he is already a five-rank captain.

Nan Yu greeted relatives and friends at the door, and the princess entertained inside.

The two of them also met several times when they were young, and now they meet again, ten years later.

After the two greeted each other, Nan Yu personally took the little marquis inside.

After the little marquis offered incense and saluted, he said to the princess, "Princess, my grandfather can't get out of his body now, and he specially instructed me to let the princess mourn and pay attention to her own body." ”

"The old marquis has a heart, the concubine should be kept in mind, and the little marquis is now also making contributions in the army?"

"Yes, I had enough of my free time in Beijing, so I begged my grandfather to send me to the army, and the boy joined the army, so as to show his true colors, you see if I am much more mature. ”

The princess said, "That's right, it's just that the army is dangerous, so be careful." ”

The coffin of Yunnan Wangdao is still placed in the hall, where does the little marquis not know the weight of this sentence, the sword and gun have no eyes, on the battlefield, even if it is the prince and grandson nobles, there is danger," Ge Yue remembered. ”

The princess waited for her to enter the flower hall where the guests were entertained, and then asked, "I wonder how my eldest son is in Beijing?"

"Nan Qi guards the palace alone, there is nothing good or bad, His Majesty refused to reuse him before, only let him hang a few false positions, and he is not dissatisfied, but he has a good relationship with His Royal Highness King Ye, and he helps each other, it seems that it is not bad. ”

"That's good, that's good, I just hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can let him out of Beijing. ”

The little marquis said quickly, "Definitely, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is short of manpower, and when they receive the news, they will definitely let Nan Qi come to Southern Xinjiang with the edict of succession." ”

The princess smiled reluctantly when she heard this, and soon let out a soft sigh again.

The little marquis accompanied and comforted, said goodbye, and Nan Yu personally sent it out.

didn't take two steps, and the princess's personal maid chased her out with a few boxes.

"Second son, the little marquis stays. ”

The two stood still, and the maid handed the things to the little marquis, "The princess said that the old marquis is not in good health, and the little marquis is asked to bring back these medicinal materials and supplements, hoping that the old marquis can use them." ”

The little marquis didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to take it, "Thank you to the princess, he will come back to thank you in person in the future." ”

The maid nodded and went back.

"My mother has always been worried about my eldest brother, but now she is always relieved when someone who has been in the capital with my eldest brother for more than ten years says. ”

"The princess has been hit hard now, and when I go back, I will ask my grandfather to write an excerpt to go back, and persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let Nanqi come to southern Xinjiang, which is also a comfort to the princess. ”

"Then thank you to the old marquis and the little marquis. ”

"Where did you learn so many politeness, I'm afraid we will have to fight side by side on the battlefield in the future, don't be compared to me, a newcomer. ”

Nan Yu said confidently, "Naturally, it won't." ”

The little marquis turned over and said with his hand, "Then goodbye." ”

Nan Yu saw him off.

Although it is already spring, it is still cold and biting, and a gust of wind blows, but it brings a burst of inexplicable smell.

The king of Yunnan is highly respected, he went, in addition to the sadness of the people in the palace, the people who were sheltered by him were also sad, and spontaneously burned paper money and incense watches on the ten-mile long street of the foreign enemy in the palace, only to seek the stability of the spirit of the king of Yunnan in the sky.

Sister Yan and the others drove lightly, and received a lot of news on the way.

A letter sent by King Ling was also received.

On the pretext of exposing that the Xie family sent someone to assassinate the vassal king, he wanted to blackmail his sister Yan to do three things for him.

The first is to ensure that Yining is safe and happy in his life, the second is to find a way to let King Ling participate in the battle with the Jin Kingdom, and the third is to kill Lian Jin.

Sister Yan had expected that he wanted to participate in the war and make contributions, and he already had a way to deal with it, so he didn't feel embarrassed.

But it can't be too easy.

It has always been a difficult thing to mobilize troops from the hands of the vassal king, Chu plus the king of Ling, there are a total of five vassal kings, each with 100,000 troops, although the king of Ling has not yet completed the collection of military power, but with his means, it must be soon.

You can use the king of Ling to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and collect the military power of the vassal king to prepare for the future.

Sister Yan replied, asking King Ling to collect his military power as soon as possible, and then she would ask the prince to let King Ling take the army of the fief to support southern Xinjiang.

By the time the news of the death of the king of Yunnan was delivered to the prince, Sister Yan had already arrived at the edge of southern Xinjiang.

The prince received the news: the Jin army sent people to slaughter the village, slaughtering a total of 359 villagers in two villages, the king of Yunnan took people to check, the Jin army for many days, sneaked into southern Xinjiang in batches, ambushed here, the king of Yunnan led 5,000 Chu troops, and 10,000 Jin troops died together, and the king of Yunnan died.

After reading this newspaper, the prince was also shocked for a long time, the king of Yunnan had been guarding the frontier for many years, and he was killed by the Jin people like this.

After thinking for a moment, the crown prince immediately went to the emperor's bedroom to ask for a meeting.

The emperor's illness has not subsided, and Concubine Qiong is still waiting for the decoction on the side.

The prince said, "The sons have important matters to discuss, please ask Concubine Qiong to avoid them." ”

Seeing that his expression was wrong, the emperor waved his hand to let everyone else out, leaving only Gonggong Xu to watch.

The crown prince presented the battle report, "Father, the king of Yunnan died in battle. ”

"What?"

The emperor sat up in shock, and Gonggong Xu hurriedly took the battle report and handed it to the emperor, who quickly read it and sat for a long time without speaking.

"Father, the king of Yunnan died suddenly, and the situation in southern Xinjiang will be difficult to control. ”

The sadness on the emperor's face doesn't seem to be fake, but as the king of a country, he still has to put state affairs first, "Yes, if the Jin people take advantage of the situation, I don't know if they can withstand it." ”

"The elite soldiers under the command of the king of Yunnan can fight well, but they need a suitable commander, and the sons think that Nanqi should be allowed to go to southern Xinjiang to inherit the throne, first, to appease the old department of the king of Yunnan, and secondly, to let him do his filial piety, and their family has not seen each other for more than ten years. ”

The emperor thought for a while, "Nan Qi has no experience after all, if he directly becomes the commander of the first army, how can he serve the public?"

"Yunnan Wang De is highly respected, his subordinates must not want outsiders to take over, Nan Qi is talented, but lacks some experience, as long as those veterans are dedicated to assisting, they will be able to succeed, and the emperor said that the grassland matter, will go to the border pass first, and now I am afraid that it is already going to southern Xinjiang, there is an emperor in town, and there is no chaos for a while. ”

"Did Nan Qi know about this? ”

"The news shouldn't have reached yet. ”

"This is a very important matter, and I have to think about it. ”

"Father—"

"You go down first, I've got my own considerations. ”
