Two days after Zhou Shen and Zhou Che sent their guards, they received a letter from Su Rong asking the rescue army to send troops to the Great Wei, and their faces changed greatly, and they immediately pulled out the camp, took 200,000 soldiers and horses, entered Nanchu, and rushed to the battlefield.

A few days later, the prince of Daliang, Yan echoed, and also received Su Rong's letter, his face sank, and he immediately took the letter and hurriedly entered the palace.

In the palace, the emperor's injuries have healed, but he has not recovered from the previous dynasty, but still let the crown prince supervise the regent.

The courtiers also gradually understood that this is His Majesty's turn of the corner, and he has begun to delegate power to the crown prince.

An old minister went to the emperor to test him, and the emperor did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "I used to be confused, and I have worked hard for most of my life, but now that the prince has grown up, I should also rest." ”

The old minister nodded again and again, "The prince is talented, Your Majesty is gradually letting go, relying on the prince, and recuperating for a while, it is feasible." ”

"It's not a little recuperation, it's that I'm ready to take a meditation position." The Emperor said.

The old minister was taken aback, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, you are in the prime of life, you don't have to, you don't have to ...... so early"

The emperor sighed, "I didn't understand it before, but now I feel that having the crown prince here is a blessing for the Great Liang and a blessing for me." ”

If he could wake up earlier, maybe his two sons Yan Li and Yan Lin would not have to die, and their brothers would not fight for blood, and they would not have to drag down the national strength of Da Liang, and now they still can't catch up with Da Wei.

It's his fault.

The old minister didn't know whether to continue to persuade for a while, after all, His Majesty abdicated early, and the prince ascended the throne early, which is very beneficial, Your Majesty's ability, not as good as the prince, His Majesty abdicated early to be the emperor, the new lord of Daliang ascended the throne early, the old and the new were smoothly replaced, the court situation was smooth and stable, and there were no more disputes, so that the following little princes completely broke off their thoughts, which is a good thing.

Although now, with the death of the eldest prince and the second prince, the little princes dare not have ideas, but it is difficult to ensure that as time goes by, as the years get older, they will have thoughts that they should not have.

How could the emperor not understand that most of the courtiers attached great importance to the desire of the crown prince to ascend the throne, but now, he no longer had the idea of being afraid of the prince, he said: "Let the Ministry of Rites start preparing in advance!" By next spring at the latest, I will abdicate and the crown prince will ascend the throne. ”

The old minister nodded, "Since Your Majesty has decided, the old minister and the others naturally have no objections." ”

After the emperor revealed this tone, the direction of the court changed again, and the courtiers respected the prince even more, and the fourth prince Yan Shen and the little princes did not see the slightest dissatisfaction. Especially Yan Shen, who has long taken refuge in the East Palace, and now he has already entered the court, taken over errands, does things normally, and does his best, Prince Yan Echo does not just give him an idle job, but relies on this younger brother very much.

Yan echo himself was in front of the emperor, saying that he was not in a hurry, so that his father did not have to abdicate early, but was rejected by the emperor, saying that he wanted to rest well, although he is now healed from his injuries, but he is also weak, it is inevitable that the court will be chaotic after the future, and the turmoil will reappear, so that the little princes can grow up and have ambitions again.

Yan Huisheng saw that the emperor really wanted to open it now, so he no longer refused, so he complied with the emperor's actions and let the Ministry of Rites start to prepare.

After the emperor was idle, he felt that there were benefits of leisure, he used to have a young husband and wife friendship with the queen, and then the power was consumed, and the husband and wife gradually separated, and now he turned back and remembered the past, and often accompanied the queen in the queen's palace.

The queen has actually been cooled by the emperor, but although the emperor has been confused for many years, he never really thought about abolishing the prince, and now the emperor has turned back and wants to rebuild the old friendship with her, although she doesn't look down on it, but she will not push him out, and in her later years, in this palace, she can be considered a blessed queen.

Therefore, on this day, Yan Huisheng entered the palace and heard that the emperor was in the queen's Fengyi Palace, so he hurriedly looked for it.

The emperor and queen were having dinner, and when they heard someone tell them that the prince was coming, the emperor was stunned and looked at the sky, "It's not too early, the prince is coming at this time, I'm afraid there is something important again." ”

A few days ago, the news of the Great Wei attack on the border came back, and the old protector had gone to the border.

Yan Echo entered the Fengyi Palace and asked the emperor and queen to say goodbye, "Father, mother." ”

The queen stood up, "Prince, is it time for dinner?" Why don't you use some of them before you talk to your father? ”

Yan Echo shook his head, "Queen Mother, it's an important matter, and the sons need to discuss with their father first." ”

The queen nodded when she heard this, and went to the imperial study from Fengyi Palace not closely, she waved her hand to let the palace maids and eunuchs retreat, and she also planned to go out to avoid it, leaving a place for the father and son to talk.

Yan Echo stretched out his hand to stop her, "The queen mother doesn't have to avoid it, let's go on with dinner!" ”

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to help the queen sit down, and at the same time sat down next to her, and said to the emperor: "Father, I just received a letter from Xiaoqi Feiying, Yuan Zhao, the prince of Great Wei, personally led 800,000 troops, invaded Southern Chu, and the momentum was violent, Su Rong only had less than 500,000 soldiers and horses in her hands, and she had sent someone to send a message to transfer the 200,000 soldiers and horses of Chen Bing on the border of Southern Chu to Southern Chu." ”

"What?" The emperor was shocked, "Great Wei actually wants to fight Southern Chu?" ”

Yan echo nodded, "800,000 soldiers and horses, obviously Dawei is prepared, I don't know how long it will take, and I don't know if Su Rong can withstand it, after all, the news came the day before yesterday, saying that after the sneak attack of Dawei, he sent someone to check and verify, and found that Dawei's weapons have been improved, and the crossbow arrows are more powerful and have a long range than the crossbow arrows used in our Daliang army today." On the battlefield, with the same strength and a slightly more powerful weapon, it plays a key role, let alone when there is such a huge disparity in strength. Nanchu is in danger. ”

The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly, "Nanchu can't be lost, otherwise the Great Liang will be in danger." ”

"Yes, so when the son got the news, he immediately came to discuss with his father. Erchen thought about it all the way, the prince of Great Wei led 800,000 soldiers and horses to attack Southern Chu, so how many troops are left in Great Wei? What if the old protector of the country was allowed to take his soldiers and horses and directly start a war against the Great Wei? Can Wei save Zhao? Or, can you plot to seize the Great Wei and the three or five cities? ”

The emperor's expression was solemn when he heard this, "Su Rong took away 300,000 soldiers and horses, and Zhou Shen and Zhou Che added 200,000 troops to Southern Chu to rescue, and this time they went to 500,000 soldiers and horses......

"But don't forget, father, only Zhang Ping rebelled, and we subdued 450,000 soldiers and horses." Yan echoed: "In our Daliang country, the original reserve strength is 500,000 soldiers and horses. Today's Great Wei, if Erchen's expectations are good, at most 400,000 soldiers and horses, even if the weapons are slightly worse, but we also have the strength to fight. ”

Baby, it's the end of the month, the monthly pass, what
