Originally, she did treat everything around her with a playful mentality, but when Xianghe and Xiao Se died in front of her, she realized that this was not a game.

The vanishing life and the crisis of the previous dynasty are enough for her to work hard to deal with it. After all, she wants to live, and she wants to live better.

Yuan Zheng nodded, patted Li Xinghe's shoulder, and said with an astringent smile,

"Our eldest princess, Her Royal Highness, has grown up and is a lot more sensible."

It's a pity that they are all forced by the situation in this palace, ordinary girls, thirteen or fourteen years old, which is not the beauty of peach blossoms, the posture of a girl.

But in the eldest princess and the third prince, he saw more maturity and forbearance that did not belong to them, as well as a desire for power.

At the post station outside the capital, Luo Yunhe retreated from everyone, leaving only his henchman Pei Shao, and carefully opened the letter that had just come from the Shangshu of the Yuan Qi Military Department-

The apocalypse has changed, His Majesty secretly dispatched troops, and now he can't see the direction of the army, and the foolish brother guesses that it will be the Tianlan border, hoping that the virtuous brother is safe.

After reading the letter, Luo Yunhe only felt a chill behind him, his face turned pale, and he was surprised and predicted his end, Your Majesty wanted to use the mission to provoke a war between the two countries.

If you make a birthday gift according to the plan, you are afraid that you will be in a different place by then, and you will get rid of yourself with Tianlan's hand, Your Majesty's abacus is really loud.

"Lord Luo, but what happened?" Pei Shao saw that Luo Yunhe's face was not very good, and hurriedly asked.

Luo Yunhe handed the letter to Pei Shao, paced to the window, his tone was sad, and he looked up to the sky and sighed,

"The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, I'm afraid this trip will take my life to rest."

Pei Shao frowned and finished reading the letter, took out the fire fold and burned the letter in the copper basin, thought for a moment, and then said,

"There may be room for a turn in this matter, so don't be so pessimistic. As far as Pei knows, there are only two princes in the position of Tianlan prince. If we take out the news and exchange it with them, maybe there is a glimmer of life for adults. ”

"By no means, although His Majesty wants to get rid of me with the help of Tianlan, but as an official of the imperial court, I will never sell my country in exchange for my own stealing life." Luo Yunhe did not hesitate to reject Pei Shao's proposal.

"My lord misunderstood Pei's meaning, Your Majesty chose to dispatch troops at this time, pointing at Tianlan, I am afraid that the secret line has already been planted in the mission, and I will only wait for the secret line to make a move when I enter the birthday gift, so that there is a reason to start a war. All we need to do is get the word out, and we really don't know how His Majesty's secret line will act, and how can it be considered treason. My lord, only by saving my life can I serve the country with my duty. Pei Shao persuaded bitterly.

Lord Luo offended His Majesty too hard in the previous dynasty, although he had a good reputation for not being afraid of the majesty of the heavenly family and daring to give direct advice, but the end of such a person will not be too good after all.

What's more, he also showed up the iron-blooded emperor with an unstable temperament and ruthlessness, and Chu Huaichen was even more unlikely to tolerate such a person staying by his side.

Luo Yunhe thought about it, and for today's plan, Pei Shao's method can have the best of both worlds. can save his life and not be treasonous, but who of the two highnesses of Tianlan can better cooperate with him, so he asked,

"Then which of the two princes of Tianlan does Master Pei think is more suitable?"

"Naturally, it is Li Chengren, the second prince who is favored by Emperor Tianlan, and the third prince should have no right to speak in front of the emperor. This matter will be handed over to Pei to deal with, and my lord will wait at the post station to listen to the news. ”

Pei Shao didn't think about it for too long, as if he had expected Luo Yunhe to agree to his opinion, so he said in a deep voice. As soon as he made a fist clenching motion, he seemed to remember something and bowed like a literati.

In the Yuanqi Chengen Palace, Chu Huaichen was dressed in a dragon robe, and his black hair was meticulously tied into the golden crown, which was very different from the lazy behavior on weekdays.

Chu Huaichen tapped the cinnabar on the inkstone, swayed his pen and ink, and wrote a few big characters on the music - I have read it.

Chu Huaichen continued to criticize the chapters, but he kept complaining, are the courtiers of Yuan Qi idle and have nothing to do? Today, the group of concubines in the Ministry of Household Affairs is immoral, and tomorrow the Shaoqing godson of Dali Temple is not strict and unworthy, so there is nothing serious to do?

This is indeed nothing to do, since His Majesty came to power with an iron and bloody hand, the government has been purged, corruption has been severely punished, and the methods have been ruthless, but the effect has been immediate.

Since then, the Yuan Qihai Qinghe Yan, the people live and work in peace and contentment. Putting aside the rumors in the market, I have to say that Chu Huaichen is indeed suitable as an emperor, Wei Zhen thought to himself. But he coaxed, he didn't dare to say.

Chu Huaichen seemed to think of something, and put down the wolf in his hand. The phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, like a fox who had been secretly calculating.

Huai Yuan, who was guarding the side, saw this, and couldn't help but shudder, if His Majesty had such a look in the past, it was probably a minister in the court who would be unlucky.

"Count the days, this mission should have arrived in the capital, Wei Zhen sent you to Xuzhu a few days ago, did you pass on the letter?"

was suddenly cue, Huaiyuan was also a little panicked, but fortunately, in the past few years, he has been by Chu Huaichen's side, and his psychological endurance has become much stronger, so he immediately stepped forward and replied,

"How dare the servants of His Majesty's orders drag it out, I guess that His Majesty's handwritten letter has already reached the hands of Master Xuzhu."

"It's done well, it's growing." Chu Huaichen showed a satisfied smile and praised without hesitation.

At this time, a man dressed in black and wearing a black silk mask quietly walked out of the dark place, with an indifferent expression and a cold temperament all over his body, but he was very respectful to Chu Huaichen.

This is probably Lord An Sui'an, the head of the secret guard beside His Majesty, Huaiyuan thought to himself, but this step was very sharp, and he hurriedly withdrew from the palace.

An Sui took a step with long legs, knelt down on one knee in front of Chu Huaichen, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed his head and saluted,

"Your Majesty, the people who came to report Jiuli are active in Shengjing City, and my subordinates are hereby here to ask for instructions."

The people of Jiuli are a bit interesting, but they are separated by national hatred and family hatred, and they will not temporarily turn to Tianlan if they want to, Chu Huaichen thought to himself, but he didn't take this matter to heart. Just tell people to keep a close eye on them, and report if there is anything abnormal.

In a private house somewhere in the capital, Xuzhu sat in front of the desk, bowed his head and raised the pen to annotate the book, but heard the low cooing of carrier pigeons outside the window.

After thinking for a moment, he put the wolf in his hand on the pen grid, walked to the window, carefully took out the letter tied to the pigeon's leg, and then held it in both hands and released it into the sky.

The letter paper is mixed with gold leaf, and the lower left corner is the unique seal of the Yuanqi royal family, and the text is magnificent, quite thunderous and powerful, presumably written by Chu Huaichen himself.

The letter only explained one thing, that is, to hold a poetry meeting in Shangjing, and specifically mentioned that the two princes of Tianlan must be present.
