"What if that happens?" Sun Xiang has always been loyal to the emperor, and he felt cold sweat when he thought of this.

He saw that the emperor was leaving angrily, so he didn't follow, he called a little eunuch, and said to the little eunuch: "You hurry up to the Yongshou Palace to invite Queen Qian Niangniang, and let her hurry to Wan'an Palace." said that the emperor and the eldest princess had a conflict, and asked Queen Qian to go anyway. ”

The little eunuch looked at Sun Xiang with a very solemn expression, as if something big had happened, where did he dare to slacken. Hurriedly got up and flew towards the Yongshou Palace.

Jian Huaizhen was resting in the dormitory, and after killing Shi Heng, she felt as if she had collapsed. Unconsciously, she fell asleep, and in the dream, she dreamed for a while that Yu Qian was standing in front of her, and said to herself: "The eldest princess, eradicate the country's rebellious ministers and thieves, and the major matter of defending the country's society will get rid of you." After a while, I saw Bai Qingqing crying and crying at her: "Sister, my sister just left you like this, don't blame me." ”

Jian Huaizhen felt his heart pounding, and suddenly woke up from his dream.

At this moment, Zero Luo walked in, saluted Jian Huaizhen, and said respectfully: "The eldest princess, the emperor has already come, and he is waiting for you outside." ”

Jian Huaizhen knew that he was going out to face Zhu Qizhen sooner or later, so he said to Ling Luo: "You groom for me, and I will go out to see the emperor." ”

While freshening up Jian Huaizhen, he said on the side: "The eldest princess, you have a deep relationship with the emperor's ancestors and grandchildren, don't hurt the harmony because of a minister's matter." You killed Shi Heng just to eradicate traitors for the country, and when you see the emperor later, you slowly tell the emperor, don't annoy the emperor. ”

Jian Huaizhen was silent, with no expression on his face.

Ling Luo had never seen Jian Huaizhen like this, and she was frightened, and she continued to say slowly to Jian Huaizhen: "The eldest princess, the slave has been with you for so long, and I know what you are thinking. In fact, the emperor is not cowardly, not that he doesn't want to deal with Shi Heng. If he didn't want to deal with Shi Heng, how could the emperor lock him up in prison. It hasn't been long since the emperor came back from Wara, and his power in this court is not strong, and there is no way for him to rely on important ministers. ”

Jian Huaizhen still didn't say a word, his face was pale.

Lingluo knew that when Jian Huaizhen didn't say anything, she was thinking about the problem, so she continued to persuade and said, "It's not unreasonable that the emperor is so afraid of Wara. After all, he was taken captive for ten years, leaving a cruel shadow in his heart. The eldest princess, do you think that when the emperor was taken captive to Wara, he was only a teenager, and he suffered a lot in Warat, and the Warat people were ferocious, so how could they be good to the emperor. The suffering of the emperor is beyond our imagination, and it is no wonder that he is so afraid of Warat. ”

These scattered words set off no more ripples in Jian Huaizhen's heart, and she felt very sad when she thought of Zhu Qizhen being locked up in Wara for ten years. The Warat people are indeed as cruel as Scatter said, Zhu Qizhen fell into their hands, how could they get a good life, I am afraid that they will live a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs. It's no wonder that Zhu Qizhen didn't dare to think about it, and in the past ten years in Wara, Zhu Qizhen has also created a slightly cowardly character.

Thinking of this, Jian Huaizhen took his scattered hand and said to her softly: "Don't worry, I know how to tell the emperor, I already have an idea in my heart." ”

The dust settled on her heart, and she was busy grooming Jian Huaizhen, and then walked out with Jian Huaizhen.

Jian Huaizhen saw that Zhu Qizhen was sitting on Huanghuali's chair angrily, so she stepped forward and took two steps, tears flowed out involuntarily, and she said: "Your Majesty, if you want to blame the palace for today's incident, blame the palace, it's all bad for the palace." only thought about the tragic death of Princess Ning Xin, and did not consider for the emperor that the Wara army would move south, and killed Shi Heng without authorization. ”

Zhu Qizhen originally wanted to settle accounts with Jian Huaizhen, but she didn't expect her to admit her mistake to herself as soon as she came out.

After all, Jian Huaizhen is Zhu Qizhen's grandmother's generation.

Zhu Qizhen saw her talking to himself like this, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, and he thought that Princess Ning Xin's matter really made him hate and angry. If it weren't for the fact that the Warat army was gathered on the border, how could he not have killed Shi Heng.

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart had already disappeared by three points, he glanced at Jian Huaizhen, turned around with a long sigh, and said suddenly: "Grandson, where do you dare to blame the eldest princess?" It's all because I'm not good, because I have no available generals under me, and I have to rely on Shi Heng so that Princess Ningxin's revenge can't be avenged, and I want the eldest princess to come forward to punish Shi Heng in person. ”

Zhu Qizhen's words were half angry, and half complained.

Jian Huaizhen didn't understand what she heard in her ears, she stepped forward and said to Zhu Qizhen in a serious voice: "Your Majesty, military affairs can be discussed in the long run, but Shi Heng's actions have really reached a place where people and gods are angry. If Shi Heng is not punished, I am afraid that no one in the world will be convinced, and there will be no emperor in the eyes of the courtiers. Shi Heng is autocratic, Xu Youzhen is autocratic, don't you have any intention of punishing him in your heart? ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard Jian Huaizhen say this, he seemed to have touched some thoughts, and what he hated most in his life was the word "dictatorship".

As a high emperor, how can he tolerate the dictatorship of his courtiers.

Despite this, it was extremely inappropriate for Jian Huaizhen to kill Shi Heng at this time. Obviously, she knew that the Warat army would soon move south, and if Shi Heng died, who would fight this battle at that time.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart, he looked at Jian Huaizhen with tears in his eyes and said: "Eldest Princess, no matter what your motive is for killing Shi Heng, if the Wara army moves south, the world will not be protected." How do you ask me to explain to my ancestors and ancestors? ”

Zhu Qizhen's words vaguely had the meaning of blaming Jian Huaizhen.

Seeing that he was so sad, so cowardly, and so vulnerable, Jian Huaizhen was about to say something.

Scattered had already pulled Jian Huaizhen's shirt on the side, signaling her not to say goodbye to Zhu Qizhen, so as not to hurt the feelings of the two people.

Before Jian Huaizhen could speak, he heard a little eunuch shouting outside: "The queen mother has arrived." ”

While speaking, Queen Qian limped in.

This Queen Qian was originally Zhu Qizhen's original wife, and she married Zhu Qizhen as a princess when she was a teenager, and the two had a very strong relationship.

Later, after Zhu Qizhen was captured in Wara, Queen Qian was grief-stricken when she learned the news, and she knelt in front of the Buddha every day and prayed for Zhu Qizhen, hoping that Zhu Qizhen could return as soon as possible.

When the palace people saw that she was pitiful, they presented the Buddha hall and asked her to kneel under the Buddha hall to visit the Buddha.

Queen Qian refused anyway, she felt that she lacked devotion to the Buddha, and she cried day and night for Zhu Qizhen, hoping to move heaven. She had been crying for so long that she was blind in one eye.

Later, after Zhu Qizhen came back, he couldn't bear it when he saw that his wife, who had been thinking about him for a long time, suddenly became so weird. But when I asked to understand, it turned out that Queen Qian became like this because of herself, and I felt infinite pity in my heart.

Queen Qian was very happy to see Zhu Qizhen return safely after the difficulty.

Zhu Qizhen was very moved when he heard what Queen Qian had done for him. Therefore, he did not dislike his wife in his heart, but still let her be the queen, and the relationship between the two was better than before.

It can be seen that Zhu Qizhen is also a person who values love and righteousness.

Queen Qian came to Wan'an Palace, first saluted Zhu Qizhen, and then saluted Jian Huaizhen's juniors.

Jian Huaizhen didn't see Queen Qian much on weekdays, because Queen Qian usually hid in the Yongshou Palace and chanted Buddha, and rarely came out.

Now at first glance, I can't help but appreciate her admiration when I see that although her appearance is damaged, her words and deeds are very elegant.

Empress Qian bowed to Jian Huaizhen and said, "The eldest princess, you are the emperor's elder, no matter what disputes you have with the emperor, it is our own family's business, everyone must not hurt the harmony." ”

Then he said to the emperor: "The princess of the emperor killed Shi Heng with a cane, and the concubines also heard about it. There was already a rule that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, and it was inconvenient for the concubines to say more, but the matter had come to this point, and it was pointless for the emperor to argue with the eldest princess. It's better for the emperor to accept this reality and find a way to deal with it. ”

Queen Qian's words swept through Zhu Qizhen's heart like a spring breeze, and every time he talked to Queen Qian, he felt very happy in his heart.

Hearing what Queen Qian said, he thought for a while and said, "It's not that I haven't thought of a way to deal with it, but there is really no one who can lead troops in this court, what can I do?" ”

Queen Qian said earnestly: "Your Majesty, don't be angry with the eldest princess, in fact, Shi Heng's guilt has long been unpunished, and it is understandable that the eldest princess is now angry and kills Shi Heng." The world is so big that we are such a big country as the Ming Dynasty, how can we not find a loyal and good general? If the emperor is really difficult to find in the court, he will not post the emperor's list to recruit generals. ”

Queen Qian's words made Zhu Qizhen feel suddenly enlightened, and he immediately understood.

"Yes, the world is so big that Shi Heng can't lead troops to fight alone."

"It's just ......," Zhu Qizhen said hesitantly: "The newly recruited people lack experience, and they may not be able to stop the 300,000 army of Warat." ”

He was still annoyed by the invasion of the borders.

Jian Huaizhen thought about it, and then said to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, at this point, it is indeed the palace that is wrong first, it is better to let the palace lead troops to the battlefield to kill the enemy." ”

"The eldest princess leads the troops?" Zhu Qizhen took several steps back in a row, and looked at Jian Huaizhen incredulously.

Although Jian Huaizhen had also mentioned to him before that she had the intention of going into battle to kill the enemy, she really brought it up and shocked Zhu Qizhen.

First, Jian Huaizhen is now in his fifties, and he is an old man. Although the martial arts are strong, it is still a matter of whether the body bones can eat and live.

Moreover, Jian Huaizhen's martial arts Zhu Qizhen has heard of and seen it. However, this march requires not only martial arts, but also wisdom and experience.

"Can Jian Huaizhen do it?" Zhu Qizhen thought about it, but still shook his head and said, "The eldest princess, I have written it down for the heart of the country, but I must not agree to such a big thing." In case something goes wrong with the eldest princess, how can I be worthy of my ancestors. ”

Zhu Qizhen's words made Jian Huaizhen feel very moved when she heard it, and she said slowly: "This palace knows that one person can take on this important task, but now that Wara is already at the border, it may not be too late to invite others." ”

Zhu Qizhen's heart moved, and he asked Jian Huaizhen and said, "I don't know who the eldest princess is talking about?" ”

Jian Huaizhen said with a smile: "That's none other than my brother Jian Wenying." ”

Jian Wenying had led troops to the battlefield in both the Yongle Dynasty and the Xuande Dynasty before, and made great contributions. Jian Wenying led the troops very powerfully, almost invincible and invincible, and was known as "Jane Hero". It can be seen that he is a man who can fight bravely and is wise.

Zhu Qizhen was overjoyed and said: "Jian Wenying, Jian Yingying's great name I have also heard of it, it is said that he led his troops to kill the enemy hundreds of times, and he has never been defeated. If I can invite him out of the mountain, I can really clear the enemy for my Ming Dynasty. ”

Jian Huaizhen asked Zhu Qizhen with a smile and said, "What does the emperor think of this person compared to Shi Heng?" ”

How did Zhu Qizhen not know that Shi Heng was so happy, although he could indeed lead troops to kill the enemy, he might not be able to have so many real skills.

In the few months that he has been guarding the border pass, nothing has happened at the border pass, and it is not that he has really done anything big. It was also in these months that Warat did not move his army south.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen stroked his palms and said: "Needless to say, Shi Heng is really insignificant compared to Jian Wenying and Jian Hero, the two of them are one in the sky and one in the ground, they can't be compared." ”

Jian Huaizhen saw that Zhu Qizhen praised his brother, and of course he was very happy in his heart. It's just a vast sea of people, but I don't know where Jian Wenying lives in seclusion now.

Thinking of this, Jian Huaizhen's heart was gloomy again, and she said to Zhu Qizhen with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, now my brother is living in seclusion with Princess Luoxue, I don't know where to live in seclusion?" A few days ago, I heard that he was living in seclusion in the Wuyi Mountains. The palace has a plan, is it feasible for the emperor to see if it is feasible? ”

After Queen Qian heard the little eunuch say that the eldest princess and the emperor quarreled, she hurried to the Wan'an Palace. I originally hoped to persuade the two, but now I am very happy to see that they are still talking calmly. Hurriedly made tea and brought it to the two of them, and invited the two to sit down to discuss state affairs.

Jian Huaizhen took a sip of fragrant tea and said, "Now that the matter is over, the emperor might as well listen to the methods of this palace." ”

Zhu Qizhen knew that Jian Huaizhen had always been resourceful, so he said, "The eldest princess, you might as well talk about it." ”

"It's better to do this, on the one hand, the emperor sent someone to look for my brother Jian Wenying in Wuyi Mountain to see if he can find him. On the other hand, the main palace led people to go on an expedition to fight against Warat for the time being. When my brother comes back, he can replace me. Your Majesty, don't worry, although this palace has not been on the battlefield to kill the enemy, but I have also read a lot about the art of war, and I may not lose to my brother. ”

As soon as Jian Huaizhen said this, Zhu Qizhen's heart suddenly settled down.

"If Jian Huaizhen can lead his troops into battle, even if he can't repel the Warat army, he can delay time. When he finds Jian Wenying, it may not be difficult to fight against the 300,000 army of Warat at that time. ”

Thinking of this, Zhu Qizhen solemnly said to Jian Huaizhen: "In this way, there will be the eldest princess of Emperor Lao." ”

Jian Huaizhen said with a smile: "The foundation of the Ming Dynasty is also the foundation of our Zhu family, and I am also a member of the Zhu family. ”

Zhu Qizhen saw that Jian Huaizhen's every word was from the bottom of his heart, and remembered that he had an argument with Jian Huaizhen about killing Shi Heng with a cane before, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Princess, don't worry about your grandson's quarrel with you. I also want to overwhelm the army, afraid that they will invade the capital and subvert my Daming country. ”

Jian Huaizhen had a clear mind, and he had already said: "The emperor doesn't have to think too much, how can his family not quarrel." ”

As a result, all grievances and hatreds were resolved in an instant. When Jian Huaizhen killed Shi Heng with a cane, Zhu Qizhen did not mention it again. The matter was settled, Jian Huaizhen served as the marshal of the Ming Dynasty and led the troops to the battle.

After the matter was settled, Jian Huaizhen went out of the palace to meet Fang Xiao, Jiang Shaoheng and others, and bid farewell to them.

Jian Huaizhen came to Huaiming Garden and saw Jiang Shaoheng and Fang Xiao.

The two of them were a little strange, why they hadn't seen Jian Huaizhen for a long time, and Jian Huaizhen told the things in the palace.

Jiang Shaoheng heard that Jian Huaizhen was going to lead the troops to the battle, he was very worried, and hurriedly said: "Since the princess sister is going to lead the troops to the battle, I am also an old courtier of the imperial court, how can I stand by and watch, I will accompany the princess and sister to the expedition." ”

Although Fang Xiao did not have a good impression of the Ming Dynasty, his heart for Jian Huaizhen was clear to the sun and the moon.

Therefore, he also said on the side: "Since Brother Shaoheng is willing to accompany the princess, I will not be left behind." ”

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Jian Huaizhen came this time just to say goodbye to the two.

Jiang Shaoheng lived in seclusion between mountains and rivers, playing landscapes, and living a leisurely life has been a long time ago, and Fang Xiao and the Zhu family have always had a grudge.

She didn't expect that the two of them would be willing to go on the expedition with her, she pondered for a moment and said: "Brother Fang, Brother Jiang, this expedition is just a matter related to our Zhu family, you still don't want to go." When I come back, my little sister will have a good time with you. ”

Jiang Shaoheng's eyes were covered with a thin layer of thick paste, he shook his head firmly, and said, "In any case, the princess sister wants to go on the expedition, and there is a reason why her brother will not accompany her." ”

Fang Yu also said: "I didn't go for the Zhu family, don't think that I went for you, Sister Princess, Brother Shaoheng and I went out to fight just for the people of the world." ”

When Jian Huaizhen saw them say this, he knew that there was no hope of dissuading him, so he didn't say anything.

Tang Jingran was also living in Huaimingyuan at this moment, and he heard that Jian Huaizhen was going to go on an expedition with Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng, and immediately said that he wanted to go together.
