CHAPTER XXXI

The corners of Li Xinghe's eyes were slightly wet, since ancient times, she had become a king and defeated a king, and she could think of her own ending after Tianlan's defeat with her toes. At that moment, she was really scared, but fortunately, Rong Cheng was still by her side, Li Xinghe asked with a slight cry,

"Rongcheng, why are you so good to me, I feel like I can't afford it."

"There is no need for His Highness to return it, this is Rong Cheng's responsibility."

Rong Cheng took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and gently wiped the tears at the end of his eyes for Li Xinghe, he didn't carry these things with him in the past. Ever since he was close to protect His Highness, these gadgets have often appeared on his body.

"Your Highness, all the ministers are waiting outside the palace." Wei Zhen, who was guarding the door, reminded.

Only then did Li Xinghe clean up his appearance, swallowed a few sips of strong tea and blew his nose, returning to his original cold appearance, so as not to lose face in front of his courtiers. Li Xinghe cleared his throat, feeling that his voice was not so hoarse, and then said,

"Let them in."

Ji Zhao and the others were also a little puzzled, the bench was not hot after he returned home from the morning court, so he was called into the palace again, and he didn't know when the eldest princess's urgent call was going to say.

But before they could think about it, they saw Rong Cheng standing next to Li Xinghe, with a mutton fat inlaid with gold silk jade pendant that symbolized the Rong family, and it was the temperament of the whole body that also made this Qianwenchen a little stunned.

"According to Lord Rong's report, Jiuli and Yuan Qi have joined forces, Tianlan is in danger, what good strategies do you have." Li Xinghe asked.

Li Xinghe's words were thrown like a stone into the calm lake, instantly causing ripples. The ministers also behaved differently, some panicked and some calm.

Li Xinghe sat on the main seat, looking at everyone's surprised expressions with indifferent eyes, the two countries joined forces, and no one in the entire court could predict what kind of fairy teammates Li Jun left her.

"Your Highness, why don't we make peace with them, we can't fight this fight, maybe we can keep peace and keep Tianlan still in Kyushu."

Sure enough, she didn't look down on these people, she could say such things as asking for peace, couldn't he see that the two countries were bound to win Tianlan? Blindly seeking peace will only make them gain an inch, even if they save Tianlan, they can't avoid being arbitrarily slaughtered.

"Please also ask Your Highness to abdicate and make way for Xian, although Your Majesty personally decreed that His Highness will supervise the country. But this time is different from the past, and the minister asked His Highness to hand over the power of supervising the country to His Second Highness. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as this remark came out, it received a lot of approval, and nearly seventy percent of people agreed to welcome Li Chengren to the throne.

Li Xinghe was about to be laughed at angrily, they pretended not to see the things they did before, move your sister's power to supervise the country, Li Chengren will not be in prison for seven days, and she will dare to say this after Tianlan is over.

Fortunately, Ji Zhao and the others are still on their side, otherwise she will really be knocked off the stage by this group of people, Li Xinghe retook the case a few times, and shouted coldly,

"Are you trying to usurp the palace?"

"The ministers don't dare, but the current situation is no longer something that His Highness can control, and I hope that His Highness will consider Tianlan's national fortunes and let the virtuous be delegated."

"The ministers seconded the proposal, please let His Highness delegate power to Xian."

Ji Zhao snorted coldly a few times, shook the sleeves of his official robe, his face was cold, and his tone was very blunt, and he didn't save face for his colleagues.

"It's just a big joke in the world, if the situation changes, you will be replaced by the prisoner, so won't Your Majesty be replaced by you several times. You can say such disloyal words, and the old minister is really ashamed of you people. ”

Rong Cheng also walked out of the shadows at this time, the corners of his mouth crossed an arc of unknown meaning, and even his dark eyes were shining with a sly light, and he said in a flat tone talking about the weather,

"I'm afraid that these two highnesses won't be able to supervise the country, just now news came from the Yongyan Palace that the second highness was assassinated, and the imperial doctor said that it was more than lucky."

The last sentence seemed to have a bit of schadenfreude, but he played a role in fueling the flames, and he just informed Fu Lin of the news that His Royal Highness was about to be separated from Beijing.

It just so happens that Li Chengren drinks every day, and he doesn't stop if he doesn't get drunk, so there are more opportunities for Fu Lin to start.

Rong Cheng said this, and the ministers who had just supported the delegation of power to Rang Xian had their faces a little pale, who didn't know that the Rong family was the trump card of the Tianlan royal family, and its assassination methods were beyond the reach of ordinary killers, not to mention these powerless ministers.

After weighing the pros and cons, the ministers still chose to save their lives, and the candidates for the prison are not negotiable.

Li Xinghe was also a little surprised, the security in the palace has been very strict in recent days, how can there be an assassin, not to mention that even an assassin does not need to assassinate a prince who is about to be separated from Beijing and has no real power.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Xinghe probably guessed the ins and outs of this matter, I'm afraid the person behind this is Rong Cheng.

The eyes of the two met in the air, and each understood what the other meant, Li Xinghe winked at Rong Cheng, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a grateful smile.

The result of Li Xinghe's discussion with his ministers was to mobilize the strength of the whole country to fight the enemy together, and naturally the disaster relief in the southeast region could not be stopped, so only a part of the troops were left in the southeast.

There was also a tense atmosphere in Shangjing City, and after the flood in front of the battle, everyone's faces showed panic and anxiety.

People in the teahouse restaurant are also discussing the odds of winning this battle, but most people are still optimistic. Since the eldest princess was in charge of the country, the old and new policies have changed, and the lives of the people have become richer.

A few days ago, the tax collected by the treasury and the silver taels donated by those ministers were clearly written on the bulletin board in the center of the city, and now everyone is praising the new emperor for guiding the country to turn things around, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is diligent and loves the people.

But what they don't know is that Tianlan is now facing the collapse of the two countries.

In Pingyang City, Li Chengde was still resting in the military tent, and the outside of the tent was naturally guarded by Wu Yan. At this time, the eight-hundred-mile expedited from Shangjing had been delivered, and just as the cavalry wanted to send the letter in, they were stopped by Wu Yan.

"Your Majesty is still resting, you can just put the letter here with me, and when Your Majesty wakes up, I will send the letter in immediately."

When the cavalry saw that the visitor said this, they did not dare to go in and disturb His Majesty's rest for a while, so they asked Wu Yan to deliver the letter to His Majesty by hand.

Originally, Wu Yan thought that most of the letters from Shangjing were about the government, but the seriousness of this cavalryman's face made him a little curious about the contents.

At this time, Li Chengde in the tent also got up, and since he entered the barracks, his sleep has been much lighter. Fortunately, now that the summer solstice is approaching, the cough is much better.
