Above the Northern Qin court, a fierce dispute also broke out today.

After the concubine Zhao Youzhi returned from the Southern Qi Dynasty, he explained the marriage of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

A fierce conflict broke out between Yuan Shan and Min Guan, and Yuan Shan thought that Princess Jin Zhi Yuye of Zhaoyang was a royal noble, and she was already wronged by marrying the Southern Dynasty, and she had to marry the king of Chu, which was a great shame for Daqin.

And Min Guan thought that Lu Ke of the Southern Dynasty wanted to support the king of Chu, and Princess Zhaoyang would have a greater chance of becoming the queen of Southern Qi in the future when she married the king of Chu.

"Lu Ke secretly promised his ministers that as long as the princess marries the king of Chu, and our dynasty is willing to provide foreign aid for Xiao Luan to be the emperor in the future. He can give up Hefei City. Zhao Youzhi's words were like stormy waves, slapping on the hearts of the ministers of Northern Qin.

Emperor Qin Yuanzhi couldn't sit still, stood up from the dragon chair and said, "Is this true? Lu Ke has so much energy? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has been in Jiankang for a few days. This Jiankang Southern Shi clan has no intention of marching north at all, and is obsessed with dogs and horses all day long, and is obsessed with metaphysics. Talk for a long time. Lu Ke has no ambitions, he just wants to live in the south of the Yangtze River, and he doesn't pay attention to the two Huai at all, and in his opinion, the Yangtze River is enough to be dangerous. Zhao Youzhi said loudly,

"As the horse said, then this king also thinks that this marriage is not impossible." Yuan Shan also said in a deep voice at this time, but seeing that this Yuan Shan was wearing a python robe and had an eagle looking at a wolf, he was definitely not a good person at first glance.

Hearing this, Yuan Zhi hurriedly said: "Since the imperial uncle and the prime minister have this intention, then send someone to inform the Southern Dynasty and send Princess Zhaoyang to Jiankang on a certain day." ”

"Wait," at this time, Li Tai, the Marquis of Zhongyong, said to stop: "Your Majesty, the princess is going to Jiankang to marry." It is for the friendship between the north and the south. So when will this promise of Hefei be fulfilled? , first send the princess to the Southern Dynasty, and then we send troops to take it, wouldn't it be shameful for the world. It is still necessary to wait for Xiao Luan Xiao'er to take the throne before he can get this Hefei City. Did the colt ask clearly? ”

Zhao Youzhi smiled slightly after hearing this, and then dragged out what Lu Ke said, and all the ministers of the Northern Dynasty were silent after hearing it.

The big event has been decided, and Princess Zhaoyang will enter Jiankang soon.

Zhao Youzhi returned to the mansion, Princess Changqing was already waiting anxiously, and when she saw Zhao Youzhi, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen Sister Yuwan here?" ”

Zhao Youzhi retreated, and then told Princess Changqing in detail, and Princess Changqing sighed faintly: "From now on, the north and the south are separated, and we will never see each other again in this life." ”

Zhao Youzhi thought about it again and again, and still chose to inform Princess Changqing about Princess Mingyue.

After hearing this, Princess Changqing hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and her surprise was overflowing: "Recently, I was looking for Yuan Shu in the palace, and I went crazy, and I ran to the Southern Dynasty. ”

Princess Changqing paced left and right, meditating. As if seeing what Changqing thought, Zhao Youzhi took out two pieces of jewelry, and Changqing saw it clearly and said, "This is the thing of the bright moon." How are you staying? ”

Zhao Youzhi said: "When I returned from Jiankang, I spent 100 gold to buy a woman. The body size and age are similar to Won-sook. ”

That night, a fire broke out in a private house on the outskirts of Chang'an City, and there was a woman in the house, about fifteen years old, who had been burned beyond recognition, but the jewelry left on her body was all in the palace. After identification, it is the personal belongings of Princess Mingyue.

Subsequently, the whole country of Northern Qin mourned, and Princess Yuanshu of Mingyue suddenly fell ill and unfortunately died.

In the palace of the prince of the Southern Qi Dynasty, the garden is very lively.

The crown prince, his concubine and his sister will feast here with Wei Ran's family.

The protagonists were supposed to be Xiao Ju and Wei Ran, but somehow, it became the home of Yuan Shu and Xiao Yanran.

Xiao Yanran has been very confident in her appearance and knowledge since she was a child, and she was surprised to close her mouth after seeing Yuan Shu.

When she heard Li Yuwan say that Yuan Shu and Wei Ran had the order of their parents, Xiao Yanran was even more lonely.

Instead, Yuan Shu took the initiative to speak: "Sister Yanran is really a first-class beauty, and my sister toasts my sister with a cup." ”

Seeing that Yuan Shu was so enthusiastic, Xiao Yanran couldn't refuse, and praised back: "Sister Li is the real beauty." ”

Seeing this, the prince already had a plan in his heart. So he quipped: "You two, one sister and one sister." I'm afraid I want to be a family in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed. Only Wei Ran and the other three blushed. Xiao Ju said: "Sister Li came to Jiankang after all difficulties, and this kind of affection also makes this palace admire. Brother Wei is now the county prince, although he does not have a wife, he can also take Sister Li into the door first. According to the palace, when Brother Wei and I return from eastern Zhejiang, the palace will personally organize the wedding for the two. What if you don't know what to do? ”

Won-sook blushed and didn't speak. Wei Ran said calmly: "Everything is up to the prince." ”

Xiao Yanran, who was sitting next to Xiao Ju, looked a little lonely after hearing this, and Xiao Ju said softly when she saw this: "If my sister really wants to marry the prince of Guangling County, she must understand the beauty of adulthood. Webster's family was slaughtered by the Northern Qin. Wei Di also needs to spread the branches, and this kind of thing cannot be done by one person. ”

Xiao Yanran's face turned red when she said this, and she couldn't help but pat Xiao Ju gently, and then picked up the wine glass and said, "Sister Li is really a blessing, my sister uses this thin wine to toast my sister first." ”

Xiao Ju then said to Li Yuwan: "Brother Wei and I are not here for a few days, my aunt can take Miss Li to visit the Dingguo Mansion more." Dingguo Gong is my uncle's mansion, although there is no real power in Dingguo Mansion at present. But the title is still there, and I have sent someone to inform my uncle that my uncle will accept Miss Li as his daughter, so that it can be more right. ”

When Li Yuwan heard this, her feelings for Xiao Ju were even worse, and she couldn't help but kneel down to thank her. Xiao Ju hurriedly dissuaded: "Brother Wei's business is my business, since I am my brother, I naturally have to take care of it." ”

"Since the crown prince and Ran'er are going to go on the expedition tomorrow, let's take Weber with them. Weber had fought with his father and father-in-law, and he knew a little about the use of troops. Moreover, Aunt Zhao, Miss Li's nurse, is also very handy with housekeeping, and she can handle the matter of moving to the Guangling County Mansion. Li Yuwan accepted the prince's kindness and couldn't help but repay the favor.

"That's very good. With the help of Mr., this time will be triumphant. Xiao Ju listened to it and applauded repeatedly.

Early the next morning, Wei Ran and the prince took a small part of the prince guards to the Da Sima Mansion, picked up Heng Xuan, and went straight to the Jingkou Prince Guard's station.

Prince Wei, Prince Pro-Army. There were 3,000 people in one guard and four guards in total, making a total of 12,000 people.

When the prince lost power before, the number of prince's guards was not more than 10,000. And most of them were led by the children of the scholar clan, and the only people Xiao Ju could really command and move were the 3,000 people under his cronies Wang Lie. The daily defense of the prince's mansion in the city is only selected from these 3,000 people, and the rest of the prince's guards are all lazy and neglected to practice.

After Wei Ran was appointed as the leader of the prince's guard, he first eliminated some of the lazy people, and then recruited displaced people from the Guangling, Huaiyin and Huai fronts to expand the prince's guard. In combination with Wang Lie's department, it has been more than a month to practice with the training method of Wei Zhi in the former North Qin Ding and South Hou.

The Prince's Guard Station also showed a trend of two factions. Wei Ran and Xiao Ju rushed to Jingkou and ordered the herald to notify the whole army to assemble, and the children of the Shi clan were the slowest and lazy. I heard that I was going to go to eastern Zhejiang to suppress bandits, but the children of the Shi clan were unwilling.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the duty of our Crown Prince's Guard is to protect the Prince's safety, not to suppress bandits. The suppression of bandits is the responsibility of its own county soldiers and regular army. The leader of the children of the scholars said.

"Lu Kang, this is His Majesty's edict, how dare you disrespect it?" Wei Ran looked at this person and shouted

When Lu Kang heard this, he was about to argue, but Wei Ran would not give him a chance, "Come on, pull this son down, beat the thirty military sticks, and expel the prince guard." ”

When the remaining children of the scholar clan heard this, they pleaded for mercy one after another, and Wei Ran said when he saw this: "If there is another intercession, he will be punished together with Lu Kang." ”

Lu Kang shouted: "I am Lu Xiang's nephew, do you dare?" ”

"Listening to what you say, your status is even more noble than that of the crown prince? What Lu Xiang said is even more important than His Majesty? Someone who comes, plus twenty military sticks, write down the words and deeds of this person, and there is no ruler in his eyes, only the land phase. Heng Gongzi, you have also heard what this person said, and he will have to testify for us one day. Wei Ran immediately pulled Hengxuan into the water.

Xiao Ju was also shocked by Wei Ran's operation, and then looked at Heng Xuan sympathetically.

But Heng Xuan also showed indignation: "What the county prince said is very true, this person only respects the land minister and does not respect the prince and His Majesty, I don't know how many such generals there are in the army." I will tell my father the truth. ”

Lu Kang looked at the three people on the stage dumbfounded: "You guys are framed!" ”

Then he was heavily pulled out of the camp, and the rest of the warrior generals were silent and did not dare to make a sound.

Wei Ran said at this moment: "We are now under the order of His Majesty to go to eastern Zhejiang to suppress bandits. My father explained in advance that this is a real battlefield, and life and death are unknown. If you don't want to go, you can leave now. However, those who leave will not be hired by the imperial court in the future. ”

Suddenly, some people exchanged ears, and someone asked: "What the county magistrate said, but I won't hire anyone, and it won't harm my life and my family."

Xiao Ju smiled coldly, "What the Guangling County Duke said is also the meaning of this palace, leave now, and don't blame the past." It will not be implicated in the future. ’

Suddenly, some of the generals of the Shi clan left the team, but they were stopped by Wang Lie at the door, and everyone was puzzled.

Wang Lie said coldly: "The prince of Guangling County said that he will never be hired. Please sign your names here, you are all leaving voluntarily, and Hugh will not reverse black and white while I am away. ”

"What do you mean?" Someone asked anxiously.

"Sign, leave the barracks, don't have to go with the army, don't sign, go back to the army as a pawn. Wait for your own judgment. After a stick of incense, the army set off. Wei Ran said coldly,

Then everyone signed their names and backgrounds, looked at Wei Ran hatefully, and then turned to leave.

Wei Ran looked at the rest of the people and said, "Although the prince is the prince's pro-army, he must know how to share worries for the country. The people who left before were all children of the family, and my father knew that many people had been loosened under the leadership of this group of children of the family. You either come from a humble background, or you just joined the army for a bite to eat. This pledge, no matter who it is. As long as the bandits are suppressed with their hearts this time, when the bandits return, the prince and the prince will naturally be rewarded for their meritorious deeds. ”

Then Wei Ran's words changed: "But if someone is greedy for life and afraid of death after going into battle, he will delay the military plane." Then it will be dealt with by military law. You get the idea.

"Got it!" Everyone in the audience responded.

Then Wei Ran ordered; "Chen Dayan led 1,000 people to be the vanguard, General Wang Lie led 3,000 people to guard the prince, Yu Kai led 3,000 people to defend the prince, and the rest of the guards brought by the original scholars were temporarily deployed by the Duke himself, and General Yu was the Chinese army."

Wei Ran looked into the distance and shouted: "The whole army is leaving!" ”
