The prince died in battle.

When Shen Ning heard the news from Zifu Lingyue's mouth, he only felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and the whole person's body couldn't stand steadily, and he barely stood firm by leaning on the table next to him, stabilizing his figure, his eyes were full of sadness, and his eyes were red and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Seeing him like this, Zi Fu Lingyue thought about it and replied: "The information that came said that the prince led the army to meet Beimang's army in the field, and His Royal Highness the prince fought to the death and was finally besieged to death by Beimang. ”

"How is that possible?" Shen Ning couldn't believe this information, his eyes were dilated, and he was muttering words in his mouth, he couldn't believe this matter.

, he knows the ability to win Qin, as early as many years ago, Ying Qin began to learn the art of war, and he is talented in this regard, otherwise he would not lead the army for the first time, and he would be able to defeat Beimang and retreat.

All of this changed so suddenly!

The room fell silent, and after a long time, Shen Ning spoke again: "You go out first, I want to be quiet." ”

Seeing him like this, Zifu Lingyue wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a long time, she walked out of the door and looked at the bright moon outside. Sighing slightly, he knew the relationship between Shen Ning and the crown prince, this blow was not heavy for Shen Ning, but she didn't have anything to do about it, she just hoped that Shen Ning could get out of this matter as soon as possible.

And the reason why Zifu Lingyue herself remained in Shangqiu City was because of the order of the imperial court, it was impossible for the imperial court to let Shen Ning go alone to track down the people of the Strange Mountain, so she had to leave helpers, and she was one of them. Of course, there is also the meaning of monitoring Shen Ning, after all, his own ability is too strong, and it is impossible for him to stay here alone.

Zi Fu Lingyue had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, she silently stayed outside Shen Ning's room.

At first, the room was still very calm, but after a while, there was a sound of smashing things, and Shen Lin's roar: "There must be some conspiracy in it, it must be like this." ”

Perhaps carried away by anger, Shen Ning fell into an extremely tyrannical state, and Zifu Lingyue listened to all this outside the door. sighed slightly in his heart, how could he not understand the pain in Shen Ning's heart, but this was no longer a matter of no choice, and now what they had to face, after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince died, who would be the prince who would take over the Great Jin Dynasty?

If it's Yingji, then where should the two of them go?

I don't know how long it has been, the room has gradually become calm, Shen Ning walked out of the room, glanced at Zifu Lingyue who was guarding the door, and said softly: "It's not early, you go and rest." ”

Zifu Lingyue didn't leave, just looked at him silently.

Shen Ning seemed to see the thoughts in her heart from those bright eyes, and he sighed slightly: "I really can't hide anything from you, I really want to hide it from you going north, but I know the responsibility on my shoulders, so I won't do it." ”

Zi Fu Lingyue heard his words, and then slowly breathed a sigh of relief, if Shen Ning really disobeyed the orders of the imperial court and chose to quietly go north and break away from the supervision of the imperial court, then as a member of the Tsing Yi Division, he would undoubtedly stop Shen Ning.

If there is an estrangement between the two people because of this incident, she does not want to see it.

I don't know for what reason, Zi Fu Lingyue, and didn't want to leave Shen Ning now, she knew that the man in front of her, who had always been strong, now needed someone to be by her side silently.

Of course, Shen Ning could also understand what she was thinking, so he sighed slightly in his heart and said, "Let's have a good talk about this matter." ”

Zifu Lingyue nodded.

Shen Ning said slowly: "I don't think this matter is so simple, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's cultivation is not weak, and there are so many cultivation guards around him, it is impossible for something to happen under normal circumstances, and now that this kind of thing has happened, I suspect that someone is secretly plotting." ”

Zifu Lingyue heard Shen Ning's words, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said with some incomprehension: "Most of the people in the current court support His Royal Highness the Prince, as vested interests, they will not make a move against His Royal Highness the Prince, and the Evil Mountain People are under our control, and it is impossible to make any moves in the north, as for the cultists of the Evil God Sect, there is a Calamity Dao Master in Beimang, and they dare not approach that place now, because this will lead to an imbalance between Yin and Yang, so that the Calamity Dao Master will target them, I really can't think of any kind of strength that will attack His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Shen Ning sighed slightly, Zifu Lingyue's words were not unreasonable, but he had a vague premonition in his heart that the death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface, because he understood the hidden situation, and he was a person who knew the overall situation.

In this battle, Ying Qin must have understood that as the prince of the Great Jin, his own safety was more important than anything else, and if there was any accident on his own, then the whole world would undoubtedly fall into turmoil.

The two of them thought about it for a long time, but they never came up with a reason, but vaguely Shen Ning felt that there was a guess in his heart, but he thought that the person was being imprisoned, so he had to sigh and dispel this thought.

The two of them, who were far away in Shangqiu City, were now having a headache because of this matter, let alone the others.

.......................

......................

Thousands of miles away in the city of Shenjing, inside the imperial palace.

Ying Xianhui looked at the document in her hand, her eyes were red, she couldn't stop trembling, and her voice was a little choked: "Father, you must take care of your body." ”

As the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Emperor Jing, even though he was extremely sad in his heart at the moment, he still maintained a calm and calm appearance in front of his children, he just sighed slightly: "I know, you should step back first." ”

Hearing Emperor Jing's words, Ying Xianhui glanced at his father with red eyes, he knew that although his father did not have anything on the surface, the pain in his heart must be as turbulent as a tide.

The eldest brother is the prince of the Great Jin Dynasty that his father has painstakingly cultivated!

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an accident, he must be more painful than anyone else, and perhaps a little confused.

Thinking of this, Ying Xianhui didn't continue to speak, but walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and outside the door, he met Zheng Yang who was waiting outside, and said softly with red eyes: "Zheng everyone, you must persuade your father and emperor well, the current situation in the world is turbulent, if there is any accident in my father, I really can't imagine that kind of situation." ”

Zheng Yang was also distressed when he saw the haggard appearance of the eldest princess who had a faint smile on her face since she was a child, and the old voice slowly sounded in Ying Xianhui's ears: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty has an old minister to take care of her, nothing will happen, but Her Royal Highness the princess, you must take care of your body." ”

To the other party's words of concern, Ying Xianhui nodded, she knew that she was the eldest princess of Dajin and enjoyed the glory and wealth that ordinary people could not achieve in their lifetime, corresponding to which she should also take on her own responsibilities, it is precisely because of this that she has begun to contact the government affairs of the court during this time.

As the royal children of the Great Jin Dynasty, everyone will learn some of the most basic things in the court, regardless of gender, in order to avoid losing the basic judgment of the court situation and thus being controlled by villains.

Therefore, Ying Xianhui is very handy when dealing with things that are difficult for these ministers to decide, but because of the sadness in her heart, she does not care about her body very much during this time, and basically deals with government affairs all night every day, and the whole person has become thin these days.

The two of them chatted briefly outside the door for a while, and Ying Xianhui left, and Zheng Yang looked at the back of Ying Xianhui leaving, sighed slightly, and then walked into the Heart Cultivation Palace, when he met the emperor, he found that the emperor's eyes showed deep exhaustion, and a line of tears seemed to have just crossed the corner of his eye, leaving a tear stain on his face.

Ying Qin was grown up by Zheng Yang, and his death was also a huge blow to Zheng Yang, but at this moment, he still endured the sadness in his heart and said to Emperor Jing: "Your Majesty, you must take care of the dragon body!" The world is inseparable from you now. ”

Hearing Zheng Yang's comforting words, Emperor Jin sighed slightly: "Although I am old and my time is numbered, I am not as fragile as you imagined. ”

"I called you here to discuss another matter."

Zheng Yang's eyes froze, and he already had a vague guess in his heart, there are two most important things in the current Dajin, both of which are related to the survival of the country.

The most important thing at the moment is undoubtedly the war in the north, and the army of Beimang is still moving south, and the imperial court has begun to mobilize troops from all over the country to the front line to support, and it is believed that the situation will be stabilized in the near future.

And the other thing is naturally the matter of winning Qin.

Sure enough, I only heard Emperor Jing slowly speak: "The crown prince is now dead in battle, and the most important thing for us now is to stabilize the country, so the matter of establishing the prince is imminent, what do you think about this?" ”

Hearing Emperor Jing's words, Zheng Yang chuckled in his heart, he knew that even if he was valued by Emperor Jing, but about this kind of thing about the prince, he should not make remarks at will, so he said: "Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world, and the affairs of the prince should be decided by Your Majesty, no matter who Your Majesty chooses as the next king of the Great Jin." I will do my best to assist him. ”

Seeing that Zheng Yang was unwilling to answer his question head-on, Emperor Jing sighed slightly and said: "You don't have to worry about anything, now I am about to die, although there are many courtiers who have believed, but you are the most suitable person among them, you can speak freely, I will not blame." ”

Zheng Yang had accompanied the emperor since Emperor Jing was still the crown prince, and he could understand that his current words were truly from the heart, so he slowly spoke: "Your Majesty Weichen feels that First of all, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is not suitable to inherit the throne of the monarch. ”

Hearing Zheng Yang's words, Emperor Jing's tired face had a look of relief, he was indeed thinking about whether to set up Yingji as the next prince of the Great Jin, but after thinking about it, he felt that this matter was inappropriate, the reason was very simple, before Yingji in order to seek the position of the prince, he killed many cultivators, although this matter is under his control, only a few people know, but this is always a big stain, to set up such a person as the crown prince Emperor Jing himself can not rest assured, the future of the Great Jin Dynasty.

If Yingji has been hidden, maybe in this case, he will not hesitate to make him the prince, after all, Yingji is capable, even if he can't be as good as Win Qin, but there should be no problem in guarding the territory of the Great Jin, but it is because of the previous incident that Emperor Jing at this time will seem so hesitant.

Emperor Jing, who knew all this in his heart, changed his plan to make Yingji the prince after getting Zheng Yang's idea, and continued to ask: "Then who do you think should be appointed as the crown prince?" ”

Zheng Yang was silent for a while and did not answer.

Emperor Jing also realized that Zheng Yang was really difficult to answer about this matter, so he sighed slightly and said: "The third prince is still young, if in the era of peace, maybe let him inherit the throne, and then let the eldest princess control the government plus the assistance of you, the ministers of the court, it should also be a way, but unfortunately the current situation in the world is turbulent, such an idea seems to be out of place, so you can only choose one person from the children of other vassal kings, do you think what I said is right?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare." Zheng Yang knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Emperor Jing.

Emperor Jing got up, with a little helplessness in his eyes, in fact, in the company of Zheng Yang for many years, he had already regarded the other party as his elder, but because of the identities of the two parties, there has always been a big gap between the two:

"If you don't dare to answer, it means that you don't object, so that's what you think."

Zheng Yang was silent, Emperor Jing looked at him deeply, and then began to order: "Spread my will, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sacrificed his life for the country, and the merit is in Sheji, and after the body is transported back to Shenjing City, it will be buried with the etiquette of the Son of Heaven." ”

"There is another one, the country can not be without a prince for a day, the second prince is brutal by nature, immoral and immoral, embarrassed by heavy responsibilities, Zheng Yang among the children of many vassal kings, choose a prince with both virtue and integrity, go to Shenjing City to inherit the throne of the prince."

When Emperor Jing said this, the whole person seemed to be dozens of years old.

Zheng Yang was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that Emperor Jing would really pass the throne to others for the sake of the world.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Zheng Yanggui persuaded.

Emperor Jing waved his hand helplessly, and said helplessly: "What's the use of thinking twice?" Is there a better way for you? That's it, after the candidate for the prince is determined, I will reward the three princes and several princesses with fiefs, so that they can never return to Shenjing City, which is also the best of both worlds. ”

Emperor Jing knew in his heart that this was not a good solution, but there was no other choice at the moment.

Seeing that Emperor Jing seemed to have made up his mind, Zheng Yang left the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After Zheng Yang left, there was a trace of sadness in Emperor Jing's tired eyes.

As the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, no matter what, he wants to make the best plan for the people of the world.

Taking out the jade pendant that Ying Qin gave him when he was a child, Emperor Jing put it on his hand and gently scrubbed it, and the scenes of the past kept echoing in his mind, and Ying Qin's voice "Father." It still rings in my ears.

"Father, the son has completed the marrow washing and bone cutting, and he can be regarded as a cultivator."

"It's so difficult for my father to write the Four Books and Five Classics, and it's so difficult to govern the country, but my father can rest assured that his sons will definitely study hard and strive to be able to share some things for his father as soon as possible."

"Father, the north is going south, how can the sons and daughters sit in the Shenjing City and watch the people at the border pass being slaughtered, please let the sons and daughters lead the army to the battle."

"Father, waiting for the good news from my son, I will definitely step on the north and make the world stable."

Thinking of this, the jade pendant in Emperor Jing's hand suddenly shattered, as if he had a sense in his heart, he slowly opened his eyes, and sighed softly: "Qin'er, if you are still alive, how good it would be!" ”
