Just as earth-shaking changes were quietly taking place in the imperial city, the flames of war on Nanshan and Guanshan were still not extinguished.

Liu Yikang's camp of less than 50,000 was obviously not Liu Yizhen's opponent, and soon his weakness was clearly revealed.

In Liu Yikang's camp, General Sima Ru evacuated alone from the battlefield and quickly rushed to Liu Yikang's camp.

"Lord Wang, our men and horses are almost unable to resist! Let's escort the princess and the princess to evacuate first! Sima Ru said with a pleading face.

Liu Yikang bounced off his seat and was furious, "What?! It's been less than half an hour, and you told this king that you can't stand it?! What's the use of this king raising you?! ”

Sima Ru looked aggrieved, "The prince forgives the sin, it was really sudden, they took advantage of the rest of my soldiers to sneak attack, so they didn't have any defense, and they were seriously injured most of them......"

"The enemy is on the flank, and you are not prepared? You're a good general! "Liu Yikang grabbed Sima Ru's 'braid' and shouted incredibly.

Sima Ru wanted to defend himself, but he sighed helplessly and turned his head, "It's the minister's negligence, please punish the prince!" ”

"Hmph, of course you can't escape punishment, but not now. If this king is driven home in such a disgraced manner, what face does this king have in this world? It's better to be buried in this sea of fire and die with him Liu Yizhen! You tell them, don't quit! Liu Yikang was so angry that his face was flushed, saying that he was angry, and he was ashamed.

At the beginning, just because of Tatelinlang's sentence, "The time has come", he listened to her words, betrayed his third brother, launched a large army, and attacked the imperial city. Now that the thing has not been accomplished, he is defeated first, he can't retreat, he can't advance, and it's difficult to ride a tiger, how can he not be ashamed. This time, he was determined to die in this unknown battlefield, and also to forgive his third brother.

However, he didn't say anything about this thought, and he didn't have the face to say it, he thought to himself, and he should have told the third brother.

"Slow!"

Tate, Linlang listened carefully in the back room, noticed something unusual, and couldn't wait to open the curtain and walk into the front hall.

"That's not right, why did King Luling fight us? What good will he gain by swallowing us? It was time-consuming and laborious, and there was a danger of being discovered by the capital, he had no reason to do it, but his purpose was the emperor's throne. Tately Linlang faced Liu Yikang and analyzed carefully, in fact, she had wanted to say these words a long time ago, just because Liu Yikang had been unhappy with her since she sent out the army, she didn't know the reason, and it was not good to speak as unscrupulously as before. Now that it was imminent, she had to say it.

"Lord, the minister thinks that the princess has a point. Before, he could have taken advantage of our unpreparedness and set fire to our grain and grass, which would save more effort, but he sent someone to quietly release a few cold arrows, which is unreasonable. It seems that someone deliberately provoked a war. Sima Ru recalled what happened in the first half of the night and explained in detail.

Liu Yikang was a little shaken, pacing back and forth in the house, "If someone really deliberately provoked, who could it be?" Why? ”

Tately Linlang had doubts in her heart, she looked at Liu Yikang cautiously and said, "The most likely person to do this must be the person of King Yidu." He must have been aware of our actions a long time ago, and in order to get rid of us, he used a trick of borrowing a knife to kill people, so that the king of Luling thought that we were attacking first, and he couldn't help but fight back. This way, they can take out two enemies at the same time without much effort. ”

Liu Yikang opened his angry eyes and said categorically: "It is impossible for the third brother to do this, he regards his brother as life, how could he use such a vicious trick." This king will not believe it! ”

Tately Linlang hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "King Yidu was suppressed by the Queen Mother, he must not know about this, but the others are different. ”

"Ai Concubine is ......"

Tateshi Linlang sneered, "That's right, Huayan has always been good at scheming, and she is the only one who can come up with such a move!" ”

Subsequently, Liu Yikang personally went into battle to call a halt, and the two sides temporarily ceased fighting.

Liu Yizhen also didn't expect that he would meet his fourth brother on the battlefield a few years later, although they were related by blood in the past, they were only nodding friends.

"Second brother, let's make a truce, we are not enemies of each other. We've all fallen for the trick of painting faces. The moment he saw Liu Yizhen, Liu Yikang said it directly.

"Paint your face?" Liu Yizhen looked a little panicked.

The two didn't do too much entanglement and reached an agreement to deal with Huayan together. In this way, the two teams went to the direction of the capital together.

At the moment when he turned to leave, Liu Yikang seemed to see the look of horror in Liu Yizhen's eyes, which made him confused.

Is it really that scary?

He had seen her before, but he didn't think she was any different from other women.

When the two teams arrived at the gate of the capital, it was already sunny.

The gates of the city were closed, and there were no scenes of bloody and cruel limbs after the battle, everything was as usual, but the guards on the tower were several times more than before.

"Bold! King Pengcheng and King Luling are coming, why don't you hurry up and open the city gate?! Sima Ru received Tatelinlang's instructions and took the initiative to stand up and call the door.

"The two princes, the Queen Mother has not been summoned, why did she bring troops to meet you?" A tall, burly man in armor appeared on top of the tower.

The people under the city heard the sound and looked at it, only then did they realize that the person was Xiao Minglang.

"Why are you here?!" Liu Yikang couldn't sit still at first, pointed at him and exclaimed, and then turned behind him to ask for instructions from Lilinlang in the car.

Tately Linlang boldly lifted the curtain and walked down slowly, all the efforts she made were just to see Xiao Minglang again, so that he could look at her squarely, and her purpose was finally achieved today.

He's right in front of you, and you can see him just by looking up!

She walked to Liu Yikang's side with a steady pace, her actual heart was already surging, she unconsciously swallowed lightly, took a deep breath, and finally slowly raised her head to look up.

He stood closest to the sun, and the sun shone on his majestic general's robe, and on his well-defined face, how handsome and heroic he looked.

"Since the prince came uninvited, he obviously asked knowingly. You and I are here at the same time, who is outside and who is inside, and the winner has been revealed. Do the two princes still have to struggle again? Xiao Minglang said awe-inspiringly.

His broad body stood on top of the tower, as if pressing down an impregnable mountain.

Liu Yizhen wanted to speak and stopped, since he had seen the powerful internal force of Huayan in Luling County, and her crazy appearance, he was so scared of her that he couldn't even hear her name.

Xiao Minglang has always been inseparable from Huayan, and that Huayan may be looking at them behind the city gate, and if he wants to fight against Huayan, he began to be timid, and he couldn't say a word.

"Xiao Gongzi's words are wrong. How can you win or lose with just one sentence from the three princes? That's not fair. What's more, if you win it with despicable tricks, you can't win it. How can he be convincing that he alone will decide the whole world? Make the people obedient? If the name is not right, it is not good! Tatelinlang held her head high and said proudly.

Xiao Minglang lowered his eyes, looked at the crowd downstairs, and vaguely saw that it was a woman talking, and was about to respond, but saw Tangtai Mingyue coming over, "Young Master Xiao, the third prince invited the King of Luling and the King of Pengcheng to enter the city to discuss matters." ”

"Does the prince really say that?" Xiao Minglang was a little surprised, but he still nodded in agreement.

Yutai Mingyue was ordered to go downstairs, personally opened the city gate, and went out to greet him.

"The subordinates have seen the King of Luling, the King of Pengcheng. The prince of my family invited the two to the palace to discuss important matters, and also asked the two princes to go with his subordinates. Yutai Mingyue leaned over and arched his hand.

"What?! Entering the palace? Tately Linlang was shocked, followed by a great loss, she had already prepared a paragraph, wanting to make a big show in front of Xiao Minglang, it had just begun, and it was about to end.

"Yes, but only two princes were invited into the palace, and the others waited outside the city gate." Yutai Mingyue raised her head and looked at the soldiers behind them with her eyes, and there was something in her words.

At this point, Liu Yikang and Liu Yizhen already understood in their hearts that the overall situation had been decided, and they could not compete with Liu Che'er and Huayan with their abilities alone, so they had to give up the idea of seizing the heir, and strive to seek greater fiefdoms and benefits for themselves from him.

"Tately Linlang is the princess of this king, where this king is, she is there." Liu Yikang pulled Tatelinlang to his side and said without resistance.

Tantai Mingyue nodded again and again in agreement: "That's nature, that's nature." Lord, please come with me. ”

The three of them came to the outside of Yunlong Gate with the bright moon of the platform, and they were surprised that a large group of people had already surged here, and there were all kinds of people, from the civil and military officials to the common people, densely planted in the large and small corners of the Yunlong Palace, and the people in the whole capital seemed to have come.

Liu Che'er stood solemnly in the center of the highest steps, and next to him stood the civil officials Xu Xianzhi, Fu Liang, military attaché, Shangguan Zhanfeng, and Limu.

Just standing there and not moving, their aura was enough to easily control the whole audience.

Lantai Mingyue led the three people, walked quickly through the crowd, and came to Liu Che'er.

Liu Yikang was worried about what kind of etiquette to practice, and squinted at Liu Yizhen, but saw that he didn't say a word, only called out "Third brother...... in panic"

Liu Che'er's face was grim, nodded slightly, and turned to Xu Xian's words: "Gong Xu, let's start." ”

"Yes!" Xu Xianzhi agreed, walked to the crowd, and said in a loud voice: "I guess you already know about the changes in the capital last night. What the old man wants to say is that the three princes are diligent and close to the people, civil and military governance, did not resist disasters and save the people, and did not hesitate to sacrifice their lives several times, such a good monarch, what does the world want? Inheriting the great unification is the will of heaven and the will of the people. You're all going to support such a monarch, right? ”

"We support! We support! ”

"Yes, we support, we have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

The crowd cheered one after another, Liu Che'er's good deeds in the past have long been loved by the people, including the change in the palace last night, all of which are indispensable to their contributions.

Liu Yikang was already indebted to his third brother, and at this time, he would not speak out against it no matter what.

Liu Yizhen didn't say a word, and seemed to be still observing.

Tateshi Linlang was not so easy to deal with, she suddenly sneered, and sneered: "Just said a few good words, and easily brought away last night's rebellion?" ”

"Who are you to dare to speak like that?" Xu Xianzhi squinted and looked at the familiar woman.

Tate, Linlang stood up without humility or arrogance and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is the rebellion." ”

"Who dares to frame indiscriminately?!" Xu Xianzhi said lightly.

Tateshi Linlang did not show weakness, and said loudly: "If it is not a rebellion, then who is the order of the successor to the unification?!" ”

"Naturally, it is the queen mother's decree."

Just as everyone was paying attention to the confrontation ahead, the door of the Cloud Dragon Palace suddenly opened, and a red shadow slowly floated out of the room.

Tatelinlang's eyes sank, it's you again, painting face!
