At night, it rained in Luoyang, and it rained heavily just at the beginning of spring, which was rare, and the spring thunder was bursting, and Emperor Shenwu stood at the door of the Yangxin Palace wearing a cloak, feeling the cool breeze blowing on his skin, watching the jade beads smash under his feet, but he did not dodge.

"Your Majesty, let's go back to the house, take care of the dragon's body......" The two eunuchs behind him knelt down in unison.

Emperor Shenwu didn't reply, he was silent for a moment, and after a spring thunder, he said slowly: "Is Princess Changping in Jinling?" ”

No one replied, only the spring rain was like a pillar.

"Report ...... Your Majesty, 800 miles from southern Zhejiang Province to expedited ......"

......The door of the Central Council was pushed open, and a eunuch had already stepped forward to take the robe and hang it on the small stove.

"The right minister has arrived, what the hell is going on, Your Majesty is so anxious." Li Linfu asked.

Geng Jingguo said: "Your Majesty has received an eight-hundred-mile expedited from Southern Zhejiang, and I don't know what the situation is now, but it's not a good thing, so ask for more blessings." ”

"If that rebel person attacks the southern Zhejiang Mansion, things will not be good......" Xing Wenguang sighed.

"Who hasn't arrived? Is the book of the military department coming? Lu Kanghui asked.

"If you go back to the general, Your Majesty will only let you come with the four adults, and you don't know the military department, please come with me." Emperor Shenwu's personal eunuch led the four of them towards the inner hall, but secretly stuffed a note to Li Linfu, Li Linfu walked at the end, opened it, stuffed it into his sleeve, and followed.

"Your Majesty, the four masters have already arrived......," the eunuch softly knocked on the door.

"Come in......" Emperor Shenwu's voice was obviously a little haggard, obviously he was in the prime of life, but his body was getting worse.

The eunuch pushed open the door, and the four of them entered the house, but they saw Emperor Shenwu wearing a nightgown, and the fire in the house was blazing, but the window was open, and the spring rain floated in from outside, sprinkled on the ground, making a loud sound.

Emperor Shenwu sat on the dragon couch on the top of the nine steps, and said slowly: "The eight hundred miles of the Southern Zhejiang Mansion are urgently folded on the table, you can take a look." ”

The voice was deep, but it was full of majesty.

Li Linfu stepped forward, took the fold, retreated back, and circulated it with the three of them, Xia Yongkang was the last to see the fold, but after closing it, his heart was extremely complicated, the development of things was too fast, and the resistance of the two prefectures and six states in southern and northern Zhejiang was basically crushed with one blow.

Two prefectures and six states, in ten days, were taken by the Manichaeism, plus Jinling, now it is three prefectures and eighteen states, and it has been out of the control of the Great Xia Dynasty. And on it, there is also the most desperate news, Lu Yutong, the princess of Changping, is indeed in Jinling and has fallen into the hands of Manichaeism.

"Zuo Xiang, Gao Yu was recommended by you, what plan do you have, you might as well talk about it, I came to you overnight today, and I also want to get a plan as soon as possible, and discuss it in the court tomorrow, Yutong is still in Jinling, I don't care if I am a brother, it's not suitable, what do you think?" Emperor Shenwu sat on the dragon couch, one hand on his knees, his body leaned forward slightly, and a strand of hair fell out, covering some of his face, but on this spring rainy night, he looked a little terrifying, and with a thunderclap, the four people under the steps knelt down together.

"Your Majesty is angry......"

"Get up, if you kneel down and can take back the land of Sanfu and let Yutong come back safely, I can kneel with you, Zuo Xiang, let's talk about it......"

This is Emperor Shenwu urging Li Linfu again, and it also shows that his patience has reached the limit, but it is only three, at this moment it is already a warning to him about the struggle for power, you can let it go, if Lu Yutong is not in Jinling, let you go, but now it is different, Lu Yutong has fallen into the hands of rebel thieves, it is about the fortune of the country, and it is about the face of the royal family.

This is the bottom line of the royal family, in other words, it is also the bottom line of Emperor Shenwu, face is more important than anything else at this time, whether to save or kill, what happened to Princess Changping in Jinling? Where are we now? Even if it is rescued, what should I do? All the questions fell into Li Linfu's heart with the spring rain outside the window, every question could be a trap, every question could be fatal, and the right minister stood by his side, not saying a word, and even closed his eyes.

Soon, Li Linfu had an answer, before entering the door, he already knew about Princess Changping being trapped in Jinling, so he had already begun to think about countermeasures, these dozens of steps of buffer and Emperor Shenwu's two questions, although the time given to him was very short, but for him who had stood above the court for twenty years, it was enough.

Li Linfu knelt on the ground and said word by word: "Ministers are brave, please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to mobilize the 100,000 troops of Ningshan Mansion, together with the 150,000 troops of the Ministry of War, to recover the land of the three prefectures and eighteen states, and welcome back Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Ningshan Mansion, there are still 150,000 troops, Ning Que, is also one of the eight families, occupying the land of Ningshan Mansion and six states for more than 20 years, since the suppression of the Chengdu rebellion, has been recuperating for 20 years, the original 150,000 army, how much is it now? Even the emperor is not very clear, and every year Ning Que comes back to report safety.

Xia Yongkang opened his eyes slightly, and soon closed them.

"Since the extermination of the southwest bandits, the first emperor has given General Ning a mansion and six states, and now it has been twenty years, the emperor's grace is vast, and now Princess Changping is in trouble, General Ning Lai, as the princess elder, has no reason not to save it." Li Linfu fell to the ground and said loudly: "The matter is serious, you can't do it casually, please think twice about it." ”

"Boom ......" A bolt of lightning lit up the room, and Emperor Shenwu on the dragon couch groaned with a deep face, moved his teeth, but did not speak.

Li Linfu said very clearly, the matter is big, if you let ordinary people go, you can exterminate the bandits, but if it is because of Princess Changping, then the identity of the person who leads the troops is very important, and the only ones who have the strength and identity, and do not shake the foundation, are the Ministry of War and the Ningshan General's Mansion.

Everyone has discussed it in the morning, coupled with the current battle situation, the land of the two provinces is about to collapse at the touch of a button, and the combat power of the military department can be seen, and although the Ningshan General's Mansion has always existed, it maintains this immediate relationship with the court, and it has made outstanding achievements and has a very low sense of existence, which is generally not expected.

The worst plan is to have 150,000 auxiliary troops, but once there is a war in the north, the transfer will become the biggest problem, and the front-line army cannot be replenished in time, then it is the danger of losing the country, but now it is different, once General Ning Lao is reactivated, the auxiliary army is the second line of defense in the north, and the danger of losing the country will be solved.

"Feng, Ning Que is the general, commanding 100,000 troops, and will go to the land of Liangzhejiang on the same day, and the army of 100,000 troops will be pulled, Gao Yu will be the deputy general, Tan Zhen will join the army, and the right minister will coordinate the baggage, and the Tai Lieutenant will coordinate the food and salary, and after meeting with General Ning, the rebellion will be suppressed and the princess will be returned."

"The emperor and the ......" the four shouted in unison.

"If the princess makes the slightest mistake, none of you can get out of it." Emperor Shenwu said in a deep voice.

"Yes......"

The four of them got up and were about to leave the room and go back to prepare for related matters, but Emperor Shenwu, who listened, said again: "Stay for a while." ”

Li Linfu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said yes, but he didn't dare to look up at Emperor Shenwu.

When the three of them went out, Emperor Shenwu slowly walked down the steps and grabbed Li Linfu's right arm, which made Li Linfu tremble, but he heard Emperor Shenwu say: "Something, did you bring it?" ”

"The Holy Lord has seen it......" Li Linfu finally put his heart back in his stomach, took out a jade box from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands.

"Well, General Ningshan's Mansion, General Ningshan's Mansion, it's such a big tiger ......" Emperor Shenwu took the jade box and waved his hand, when Li Linfu stepped back, he heard such a sentence, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a slight smile.
