Chapter 34: The Prince's Expedition
When the emperor of the Yan Kingdom was in the dynasty, in such a resolute and ruthless way, the ninth son who had coveted the throne for a long time, Prince Rong Nangong Yueli was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.
And Liu Yinshu, the biological mother of the Nine Kings, committed suicide in the palace.
The emperor of the current dynasty took advantage of the opportunity of Prince Rong Nangong Yueli and his concubine Liu Yinshu to rebel together, and directly followed the vine to touch the melons, and vigorously uprooted the courtiers who had openly and secretly supported Nangong Yueli over the years, as the future successor of imperial power. Many obstacles have been removed.
Moreover, the gold and silver fields confiscated from the homes of many officials involved this time were enough to cover the military food and grass expenses of the front-line soldiers for five years.
Above the court, everyone was in danger for a while.
They feared that they would become the next raiders. The exterminator is even more afraid that the next moment there will be a steel knife on his neck.
At the same time, a coup d'état also broke out in the state of Chu, which is separated by a river from the Yan State - originally, the eldest prince Yu Qianyi, who was supposed to succeed to the throne smoothly, and the second prince Yu Qianzhang fought on the hunting ground due to political disagreements.
In the end, the eldest prince and the second prince both died of injuries.
And Yu Qianqi, the third prince of Chu State, who has always been in love with poetry and book beauties, idle clouds and wild cranes, directly reaped the benefits of fishermen and ascended the throne as emperor.
The new emperor of Chu, after ascending the throne, did the first thing he did was to posthumously crown his eldest brother who had not yet ascended the throne as the king of Zhongwu, and strangled the two princes and the whole army of the party, leaving no one alive.
Then, the second thing Yu Qianqi did was to take advantage of the border problems between Chu and Yan for many years, and personally drive the expedition and attack the border of Yan on a large scale.
The courtiers of the Yan Kingdom, when they heard about the sudden war on the front line, were silent when they heard that they were eloquent and disadvantaged, facing the emperor and the harem concubines, and the civil officials who could also pick the bones in the eggs.
They were afraid that they would be favored by the emperor of the current dynasty, so they were dragged to the front line and led their troops to fight.
Many military attachés who are willing to serve the country and take the lead are also afraid that they will take the initiative to invite Ying, because of the recent turmoil in the DPRK and China, which will attract the unwarranted suspicion of the emperor.
Just like this, when everyone in the court was eager to retract their heads directly into their stomachs, His Royal Highness Nangong Yuchen, the crown prince, who had been showing his cowardice and cowardice since the death of the first queen, actually walked out of the prince's mansion, wore court clothes, and went to the early court.
"Father, son Nangong Yuchen, I am willing to lead the hot-blooded sons and daughters of my Yan Kingdom to rush to the front line to resist the invasion of Chu State!" Usually the crown prince Nangong Yuchen, who is most easily ignored by the ministers of the court and many princes and nobles, and exists in name only, when he knelt on his knees and took the initiative to ask for help, his back was still as straight as a pine.
There is no longer the submissive, timid and weak look that everyone sees on weekdays.
On the contrary, there is a little bit of his handsome father Nangong Yin, the look of his youth.
If his appearance was seen by Nangong Yueli and his party, he would definitely regret that he had only killed other princes who had the ability to compete for the throne with him, and did not attack the biggest hidden prince.
"Good!" The man sitting on the top dragon chair had a nice hearty voice with a little pride and relief, "This is what my Yan Guo boy should look like." ”
"Emperor Xie's father is complete, and his sons will definitely do their best to protect every inch of my Yan Kingdom!" Nangong Yuchen bowed deeply to his head.
In addition to the grace of childbirth, more than five years ago, after his biological mother Queen died in childbirth, Nangong Yuchen lived in embattled and dire straits, even in ordinary tea and food, he would often be poisoned.
It was also at this time that his father, Emperor Nangong Yin, secretly made a move to clear a lot of dangers for him, but at the same time, he also let him pretend to recuperate, study, forbear, and hibernate in the prince's mansion, waiting for the opportunity to appear, and then soar into the sky.
The young Nangong Yuchen is five years.
As soon as he left the prince's mansion, his father Nangong Yin directly gave him two big gifts.
One is that if you don't get stained with the blood of your brothers, you can continue to sit firmly in the crown prince's position in the court.
The other is to lead the troops to fight, and use their military exploits and military power to intimidate the officials inside and outside the court.
However, such a result made the ministers present feel that they could not understand the intention of this move of the saint today.
