In the twenty-seventh year of Yuanhe, the call for the government and the opposition to support the eighth prince Jingwang Jichen as the crown prince became increasingly loud, and Emperor Jing was jealous and dissatisfied with King Jing was also growing day by day. In April of the same year, the enemy in the northwest came to attack violently, and Emperor Jing wanted to send King Jing to lead the army to the battle, and announced the postponement of the establishment of the prince because he left Fengcheng, so as to block the mouth of the ministers. However, before the edict was issued, several ministers came to meet the saint in private, proposing, "King Jing has already made great achievements, if he is allowed to lead the army to fight again, and wait until he returns from repelling the enemy in the northwest, I am afraid that the crown prince will be the only one." The official in the imperial study said.

Emperor Jing was suspicious by nature, and he was extremely disgusted with the matter of Li Chu, and when he heard it, he felt that what he said was true, so he asked: "What does Aiqing think?"

The man who spoke bent down and saluted, and replied respectfully: "In my humble opinion, the Eleventh Prince has reached adulthood, and he has been leading the troops to fight with the Eighth Prince for many years, and now it is time to come out and take charge of himself at such an age, why doesn't Your Majesty let the Eleventh Prince go to lead the troops this time?"

"In this way, it is better to share some military affairs for the eighth prince, after all, the military exploits of the eleventh prince are far inferior to the military exploits made by His Royal Highness King Jing over the years!"

Weichen also agreed with what Lord Fei said, and the minister thought that the emperor had finally recalled the eighth prince to Fengdu this time, and if he was released back to the northwest, it would be tantamount to ...... Forehead... I'm afraid there's something wrong!"

"Yes, as the so-called generals are outside, the king's order is not subject to it. If something happens, your majesty will be beyond your reach. What's more, the subordinates of the eight princes are all very sincere, if they can't take the opportunity to weaken King Jing's military power now, I'm afraid that no one in this imperial city will be able to compare with King Jing's power in the future!"

"Why, can't even I compare!" Emperor Jing shouted coldly, his eyes were already full of anger.

"It's Weichen who said wrong, please forgive the emperor! Please forgive the emperor!" Lord Fei, who went to speak first, hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, accusing again and again.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Eighth Prince has always been upright and loyal, and he will not support the army and respect himself as Lord Fei and Lord Liu said. Moreover, the situation in the northwest is complicated, and the barbarians are fierce and abnormal, and ordinary generals cannot deal with it. King Jing has been stationed here for a long time, and has fought several battles with these barbarians in the northwest, and has rich experience. Therefore, the minister thought that it would be more appropriate for the Eighth Prince to lead the troops this time. Lord Zhongshu Lang Jia, who was standing on the side, retorted.

Emperor Jing was silent for a long time after hearing this.

"Okay, let's all step down, I know this matter in my heart, so I don't need to talk about it anymore. Emperor Jing said with an unkind face.

"Yes, the ministers are retired. ”

——————I am the dividing line——————

And Li Lingyu is the fourth prince of Jing State-Ye Wang Ji Hong, after Ruohe's Yuanying Ceremony and returned to the Jing Palace again, Li Lingyu knew in his heart that the current situation was no longer beneficial for him to stay in the Tianyang Sect, and everything in the palace also needed him to personally sit and deploy, so after making up his mind, he set off to return to the palace.

Since he was a child, Li Lingyu knew that his mother concubine had a lot of estrangement with Emperor Jing because of the affairs of the previous dynasty, and there were many concubines in the palace.

After Li Lingyu returned to the palace, he took the time to visit Zhongxiu Palace, where his mother was located.

I saw that Concubine Xuan was practicing calligraphy in front of the case, and the handwriting was neat and beautiful, and at a glance she knew that she was a person who had learned calligraphy since childhood.

"The son-in-law greets the concubine. Li Lingyu saluted. "What is the mother writing about?"

"It's nothing, it's just a casual practice. Hearing this, Concubine Xuan hurriedly put down her pen and looked over. smiled and spoke, "Hong'er, don't kneel, come over and let the concubine take a good look!"

"Mother, you look much older. Li Lingyu frowned after seeing her mother's appearance clearly.

"Silly boy, how can anyone be immortal. Concubine Xuan smiled and said, although her face is not as delicate and beautiful as that of a young woman, her temperament is excellent, and she is as elegant and quiet as a green lotus.

"You haven't taken the beauty pill that Erchen gave you?" asked Li Lingyu puzzled.

"You have this heart, and the mother has it. ”

"The mother just doesn't want to miss the traces left by time, and only then will some things be remembered more clearly. ”

"In a flash, so many years have passed. Concubine Xuan said lightly, with a faint solemnity and pain hidden between her eyebrows.
