However, a few days later, the news that the small border city in the northern frontier was attacked by tens of thousands of Rong Di's troops was transmitted back to the capital of Daji, and as soon as this incident came out, the government and the opposition were shaken, and the Daji military held an emergency meeting overnight to formulate a battle plan.

Northern Xinjiang is the north gate of the capital, if it is breached, the capital of Daji is a fat sheep to be slaughtered under the butcher's knife of Rongdi, so the Daji side, perennial in the northern Xinjiang to invest a large number of troops to garrison, there are 200,000, known as the Xu family army.

These 200,000 Xu family troops were stationed in the north all the year round, just to prevent Rong Di from suddenly invading south. At the beginning, the bandits in Yunzhou were so serious, and there was no one available in the imperial court, and the 200,000 Xu family troops were not used, which was for this reason.

The defense line of northern Xinjiang must not be broken, if it is broken, the capital of Daji is in danger.

After the news came back, the princes were furious and unanimously decided that since Rong Di was going to fight, then I would fight to the end.

Daji is no longer the same Daji as before, and now Daji is a strong country, and he is not afraid of any foreign invasion at all.

That night, Xu Boyan led several generals to go to Northern Xinjiang overnight to command the battle!

.......

"The second prince encountered tens of thousands of Rong Di, and he was not chaotic in the face of danger, and always held the head of the city, killing nearly 8,000 enemies..... Successfully delayed until our reinforcements arrived, Rong Di saw that the situation was not good, and retreated in defeat. ”

Late at night, in the eldest princess's mansion in Changle Fang, in the silent study, the dim candlelight illuminated the military report on the fold, Chu Yunmei looked at such a military report, and there were indescribable complex emotions in her deep eyes.

She casually dropped the military newspaper, closed her beautiful eyes, leaned her back on the back of the Taishi chair with her face raised, and gently tapped the handle with the fingers of her right hand, making a clattering sound.

Xiao Han saw his master like this, he didn't dare to bother, and waited quietly.

After a while, Chu Yunmei opened her beautiful eyes and said lightly: "Xiao Jiu, do you say this is a coincidence?" ”

"Qiao, Qiao, what?" Xiao Han frowned.

"As soon as the Chen Dynasty left the capital, Rong Di launched an attack, isn't it a coincidence at this time?" Chu Yunmei smiled and said: "Also, there are so many cities on the northern defense line, why did Rong Di's army choose the city garrisoned by the second prince to attack?" ”

"There are 40,000 Rong Di troops, but they can't even capture a small city? also let the second prince pick up a lot of credit, isn't it a coincidence? ”

A series of questions, and other expressions appeared on the white cheeks of the young man in black.

He looked at Chu Yunmei and tried to say, "Your Highness means that the second prince is collaborating with the enemy...."

Xiao Han wanted to speak and stopped, he shouldn't have said these words.

Chu Yunmei stretched out her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, looking tired.

Since Chen Chao left, she has been busier than before as a waiter in the household department, and the affairs of the household department are piling up, and she has to be busy until late at night every day.

Rubbing his eyebrows, Chu Yunmei did not overly entangle whether the second prince was a collaborator or not.

She asked, "What is the military's arrangement for this?" ”

Xiao Han replied truthfully: "Xu Boyan has already gone to the north that night, and the princes intend to let the second prince serve as the vanguard of the conquest and fight to the death with Rong Di on the grassland!" ”

"Isn't this just in the hands of the second prince? The princes are also stupid. Chu Yunmei sarcastically said mercilessly.

"What did Your Highness say about this?"

"The second prince wants to take the opportunity to accumulate military merits, look at it, this battle, Daji will fight very beautifully. This battle will not last long, at most half a year, the second prince will use the accumulated military merits to return to Beijing to be crowned, and then naturally stay in the capital. ”

"Empress, Empress, Chen Chao worked hard to push up, I'm afraid I'm going to be dragged down, among the princes, there are still many people who look down on the empress's female identity, thinking that women are the emperor's big joke."

"Now, Yongxing is completely abolished, Li Yu and Li Wei have been beheaded by the Chen Dynasty, and there is only one prince left in the royal family of this Daji."

Xiao Han frowned and said, "The second prince wants to be the emperor? ”

"Of course." Chu Yunmei blinked his eyes and said with certainty: "How many years have passed since he was unfortunately defeated when he competed with Yongxing for the crown prince and was sent to the northern frontier?" Do you think this second prince has no resentment in his heart? I want to stay in the poor place of northern Xinjiang forever. ”

"So what are we going to do? If the second prince returns to Beijing, His Royal Highness and his marriage will be put on the agenda, wouldn't it be ....."

Xiao Han knew that Chu Yunmei now belonged to the Chen Dynasty, so it was naturally impossible to watch the second prince return to Beijing and then get married.

Chu Yunmei took a breath and was a little troubled:

"I can't interfere in the affairs of Northern Xinjiang, and I can't interfere."

"Actually, if the Daji side is defeated, the second prince will not come back, but if I really do that, Chen Chao will be angry, and I am afraid that he will kill me when he comes back."

"So the initiative is not in our hands....."

Xiao Han nodded in agreement.

......

......

After a long silence, Chu Yunmei's eyes looked at the flickering candlelight, and his words were a little helpless:

"Let's take this step by step....."

"I'm tired, go rest first, you should rest early...."

Chu Yunmei stood up and left the study under Xiao Han's gaze.

Walking out of the study, Chu Yunmei felt a little cold, unconsciously, autumn was about to end, it was another winter, and the winter in the capital of Daji was colder than the winter in Jinling, dry and cold.

The cold wind blows, like someone is shaving your face with a knife.

Chu Yunmei stretched out her hand and rubbed her arms, looked up at the dark night, and quickly returned to her boudoir.

Wide strip off your tunic and sit at the dresser.

Chu Yunmei scattered his black hair.

Looking at the face in the mirror, Chu Yunmei unconsciously recalled the scenes of the past.

At that time, she was just sixteen years old.

It's the high-spirited eldest princess of Chu!

The year before, she just dressed as a man and won the lift, and this year she repeated her old skills in high school, in fact, the champion should have been hers, because the champion of that year had cheating.

She happily told her father about her high school rankings.

His father seemed happy on the surface, praising her for her ability to govern the world, but at that time she did not understand anything, on the contrary, she saw the lingering sorrow between her father's brows.

She wanted to be an official, but her father didn't allow it, and the people around her didn't allow it.

They say that there has never been a precedent for a woman to become an official in this world!

Precedent cannot be broken!

She was upset.

She began to get angry with her father and her younger siblings.

This year, her father chose a colt for her, the colt was born handsome, able to write and martial arts, and the colt was very good, but she didn't like it.

She entered the palace and begged her father to take back her fate, and she didn't want to get married yet.

But at that time, her father ignored her, and then, the concubine lived in her princess's mansion in a grand manner.

She thought that the two of them would be like strangers, and no one should disturb anyone's life.

But she didn't expect that her colt would try to force sex with her when she was drunk.

She didn't want to, she remembered that night the pony was so strong that she couldn't push her away when she pressed her on the bed, and the pony said.... If it is a woman, she should accept her fate, and he will treat her well in the future.

She struggled desperately, crying and begging the colt to let her go.

But he usually treats her kindly, and everything depends on her colt, seeing that she does not obey, as if she is a different person, he slaps her in the face a few times, and tears her dress open.

During the struggle, she stabbed the colt's throat with a hairpin, splattering her with blood.

The colt died.

She killed her.
