The land of Shenzhou, there are two veins of dragon and tiger, the dragon vein starts from the Tanggula Mountains of Tibetan Tianyuan in the west, such as the dragon explores the abyss, from west to east, through the Altaïr Mountains, Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Qinling Mountains, Yin Mountains, Taihang Mountains, Broken Mountains, Huailing Mountains, Nanling, divided into nine branches of the world Kyushu, flows through 13,000 miles of mountains and rivers, and enters the East China Sea from Huaizhou. And the tiger vein starts in the northeast, the tiger tail starts from the Taixing Mountains, the tiger body is the Rouge Mountain, the tiger head is in the Taler Plain, its body shape is the image of the tiger looking back, exploring the Central Plains in the south. After 10,000 years, it was a dragon and tiger dispute between the dragon represented by the southern farming people and the tiger represented by the nomadic civilization of Mobei. If the south is weak, the desert will enter the Central Plains in the north; If the south is strong, the sword will point to the north; And to the great change in Luojing, the Great Xia lost the deer, the world chased it, with the Dinghe River as the boundary, the north and the south dynasties separated, has been the balance of power of the dragon and tiger, the world of dragon and tiger competition.

Nansan Pass is built in the place of Wuling Canyon, all around are cliffs, Jialin River is turbulent here, Shu has built a nine-layer pass here for a hundred years, the cliff post road on both sides has been destroyed, and set up an iron lock across the river on the river, 200,000 Liang troops outside the pass have besieged Yueyu, the nine-layer pass only captures two layers, and the war has reached a stalemate.

Outside the Chaoyang Gate of the Eastern Capital, Emperor Wei led hundreds of officials in the court to practice for Dugu Wenqin, and the army was pulled out, and the 300,000 troops marched continuously on the official road for more than 100 miles, and the sword pointed directly at Jiangbei, and the war was imminent.

The military reports on both sides have been rushed to Wangbei City for 600 miles, and have reached Zhongyu Pavilion of Taichen Palace.

Looking at the northern city of Jingbei Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Wu Guogong Qian Wei was anxious to discuss.

The military advisor Yan Yong is doing a military report on the sand table: "Generals, the Wei army has been dispatched, and it is currently temporarily stopped in Xuzhou, according to what we have learned, it should be waiting for the Futu Iron Cavalry from Liangzhou, so that the Wei Army has 300,000 Beikui Army, plus 10,000 Futu Iron Cavalry, in addition, the Wei Army and the Mobei Royal Court have negotiated peace, we also suspect that the Wolf God Altar will send a master to dispatch, and now the enemy and our forces are close to four to one, and our situation is not optimistic." ”

After listening to Yan Yong's explanation, Qian Wei asked the generals, "What countermeasures do you have?" ”

Qian Yi, the son of Wu Guogong, came out of the ranks; "Father, contact Senior Brother, it's best to ask Your Majesty for a troop transfer."

After hearing this, Qian Wei had a difficult face: "Now Zuo Shuai is leading the troops to attack Shu, the Duke of Yue is ambitious, Chen Guogong needs to guard against him, the Duke of Min is too far away from here, as for your senior brother, they are all naval forces, and fighting ashore is not what they are good at, and the Fengling Water Army is the last line of defense for our dynasty to resist the Northern Dynasty, which can only be received, not directly fought." ”

Zhao Hai, the former army general, clasped his fists and said: "Dashuai, in the past, we were outside Wangbei City, every fifty miles of a fort, hoarding a battalion of soldiers, there were 600 soldiers, the army was stationed in agriculture and trained in leisure, so that once the Wei army came to attack on a small scale, it could be defended according to the fort, but this time we did not have enough troops, and the whole country of Wei came to attack, this method could not be used, and the last general suggested that all the soldiers in the fort be withdrawn, and all the families and families in the city should be withdrawn to Jiangdu. ”

Qian Wei nodded: "Zhao Hai, your suggestion is right, you will deal with this matter, all the fields will be burned, all the grain stored in the fort will be transported away, and all the fortresses will be burned. ”

…

In Zhong Yu Pavilion, Xie Xiang, Cui Xiang, Fei Xiang and Chen Guogong were all discussing the military report with Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing asked Chen Guogong: "Chen Qing, can Yu Linwei transfer troops to Wangbeicheng?" ”

Chen Qing replied: "Your Majesty, the total strength of Jiandu is only 150,000, including 100,000 Yulinwei, a total of 50,000 people in the City Defense Division, the City Patrol Division, the Soldiers and Horses Division, and Jin Wuwei, and the real soldiers here are only more than 80,000 people. ”

Emperor Jing nodded solemnly

Cui Xiang stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Shu is difficult to attack, and it is conservatively estimated that it will take more than half a year to take Nansan Pass. ”

Fei Shizhong on the side hurriedly answered: "Your Majesty, Wang Dun will definitely not attack Jiazhou, Your Majesty should understand that Zuo Zongming's wife is Wang Dun's eldest daughter, Wang Dun has been enveloping Zuo Shuai, this time Zuo Shuai attacked Shu Han, Wang Dun is happy to see it, and may still pay attention to it, let Zuo Zongming occupy Shu and echo him, Your Majesty's top priority also needs to appease Zuo Shuai and ensure that the national policy of attacking Shu remains unchanged." ”

Emperor Jing asked Xie Xun: "Xie Xiang, what do you think?" ”

Xie Xun only said one sentence: "Your Majesty, Wu Guogong is the god of the army, if he only goes to those twenty or thirty thousand people, it will not help him, but it will not be able to prohibit it, all the Xuanjia infantry will stay in Jiangbei, it is a first-class army of good guards, Your Majesty should choose to believe in Wu Guogong, if he needs reinforcements, he will definitely send someone early in the morning." ”

Emperor Jing nodded: "I think the same way, if Qian Wei thinks that the situation is critical, he should ask the DPRK to send troops, and now it seems that he should have a way to deal with it." ”

Xie Xun said again: "Your Majesty, if you let the princess marry the prince of Wu as soon as possible, you can settle the army's mind." ”

Emperor Jing smiled and agreed very much with Xie Xun's words: "It's still Xie Xianglao who is seeking the country, and told Wen Yanbo that I will open the inner library, let them choose it, I can marry my daughter, and I can't be stingy, Lu Shen, you go back and arrange to send the dowry, gift list, and Geng paste to Jiaxi Palace." ”

Lu Shen replied with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will do it, but if you go back and choose some good things, Your Majesty will not be reluctant." ”

Emperor Jing laughed: "I marry my daughter, there is nothing to be reluctant to, in addition, you also transfer a few good things to Zuo Shuai, arrange for someone to send him to the Western Army, let him fight well, I have confidence in him." ”

Several of them replied, "The ministers have the order." ”

…

Jiaxi Palace of Taichen Palace, originally the dormitory of Princess Yonghui's biological mother Jia Guifei Tian Jia'er, after the death of Jia Guifei because of Xiao Siyu, Emperor Jing was sad, and decreed that Jiaxi Palace was sealed, and when Yonghui turned sixteen years old, he asked Emperor Jing to reopen Jiaxi Palace, as the dormitory before he was married, the princess did not add any new objects, but let people renovate the old objects of the concubine, and now it has been four years.

At this moment, Yonghui is leaning against the window, looking at the first moon in the sky, on the hanger on the side, there is a purple gold silk embroidered nine phoenix Yi Xia curtain, and a nine dragons and nine phoenix crowns are placed on the crown pillar next to it, using gold braided silk and seven colored gemstones. This set of phoenix crown xia veils was just sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Princess Yonghui to try on today. But at this moment, Yonghui sat there in a daze for an hour, and she didn't try it on.

The female officials Su Qing and Li Lin on the side were standing in front of the hanger, followed by more than ten palace maids who were ready to serve the princess to try them on, the palace maids bowed their heads, and Su Qing and Li Lin looked forward to each other, and they didn't know what was wrong with the master.

"You let them go down first, I'm not in the mood to wear it today." The princess spoke softly.

Su Qing waved his hand back, and the palace maids bowed and saluted: "Yes, Your Royal Highness Princess, the servants are leaving!" The palace maids exited Jiaxi Palace and closed the door again.

Su Qing stepped forward and asked, "Master, do you have anything uncomfortable?" ”

Yonghui shook her head, with a sad look on her face: "Su Qing, in a few days it will be the concubine's sacrifice day, look at this phoenix Yi Xia Veil, and this Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crowns, don't you feel familiar?" ”

Su Qing had doubts on his face, Yonghui got up and took down a pair of wooden boxes from the bookshelf, opened the wooden box, took out a picture scroll from it, and unfolded it carefully, and there was a young girl in the painting, wearing this purple gold silk embroidered nine phoenix Yi Xia curtain, and seven colored gems Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crowns.

Su Qing exclaimed: "Princess, this is the princess's old thing?" Why did the Ministry of Internal Affairs send this today? ”

Li Lin also stepped forward and said, "Princess, this thing is a taboo, what does the Internal Affairs Office mean?" ”

Yonghui put away the scroll, put it back on the bookshelf, and slowly walked to the hanger, stroking the curtain with her hand, there was a cold and sad look in her eyes, and suddenly she smiled coldly.

"When my mother married my father and the emperor as the concubine of King Yong, the imperial grandmother ordered the internal affairs government to do it, not to buy it according to the specifications of the prince's concubine, but to buy it according to the queen's specifications, but my mother never wore it on the grounds of over-control; Later, in order to obtain the support of Wang Dun, the father promised to set up Wang Dun's sister Wang Yi as the queen after ascending the throne, and the mother actually became the imperial concubine from a concubine, after the queen was canonized, she had ordered someone to take this set of phoenix crown and xiaxia, but the father did not agree, and ordered someone to seal this set of clothes, and then the queen ordered someone to customize the purple gold silk embroidery nine phoenixes to Yi Xia Wei, but the father decreed that the queen of the harem could not use purple in the future, but only the bright yellow color, so this purple Xia curtain is the only one. ”

Su Qing said: "Your Highness, is Your Majesty doing this because of guilt? ”

Yonghui said with an indifferent expression: "Father ordered someone to send this dress today, it will only stab me in the chest a few more times, why did my mother die, I will never forget, my mother didn't wear this dress back then, and I won't wear it, Su Qing, Li Lin, help me seal it and send it back to the Internal Affairs Office, just say that it is overdue, and this princess does not violate the etiquette law." ”

Li Lin was a little concerned: "Your Highness, if we send it back, will Your Majesty be angry with Your Highness." ”

Yonghui snorted lightly: "If the father really cares about us people, why haven't those younger brothers in this palace been in this palace all these years?" Yu'er is not protected by the emperor's grandmother, how can she live to this day, marrying Brother Yi is of course the father wants to envelop Wu Guogong, but the palace is also allowed, the father can't protect our sister and brother, but Wu Guogong can, Brother Yi can, what the father wants is the country to be forever, and there will be angry for these things. ”

Yonghui instructed: "Li Lin, you arrange for someone to send the things back." ”

Li Lin nodded: "No!" ”

After that, arrange for the palace maid to carry the hangers and hat pillars out of Jiaxi Palace

Su Qing stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, isn't Your Highness devoted to the young master?" The young grandfather has had a soft spot for His Royal Highness since he was a child. ”

Yonghui sneered: "Friendship is natural, brother and sister affection is more, what is the heartbeat, is it important for our royal daughter?" Marriage is just a means of conspiracy, the same as the father and the palace. ”

Su Qing was silent after listening.
