Chapter 31: The Former Crown Prince

The city of Liangzhou at the foot of the mountain, because of the recent peace, continues to play the role of an important checkpoint on the Silk Road, and the business travel is endless.

During this time, the city of Liangzhou became more lively.

Lu Qian and the others had already found an inn in the city to stay. Other people from all kinds of rivers and lakes gradually gathered, and there were several more groups of guests from other places in Liangzhou City than usual.

Liangzhou, accustomed to the wind and frost and exchanges, naturally did not make any fuss about how many people in strange costumes had seen.

The stay of groups of people from the rivers and lakes, for Liangzhou, is just a few pebbles falling into the calm lake in the past, and the ripples quickly disappeared.

A few years ago, she was a battlefield, which was not common, and Liangzhou was very surprised at that time, and moved inward in a big way, almost becoming an empty city.

Liangzhou is located in the inland of the Hexi Corridor, and it is also the last checkpoint to contain foreign forces. In the past, large and small wars have always been controlled outside of Yumen Pass, and it is rare to get Liangzhou to play.

The battle, fought to Liangzhou and the Central Plains, was almost doomed to defeat.

Five years ago, Xilingye was ordered to go out under such an emergency situation.

At first, it was quite smooth, he quickly controlled the situation, fought several battles, held the last checkpoint of Liangzhou, and also pushed the enemy back to the middle of the Hexi Corridor.

It was at this time that the war was stalemate.

The other party is the combined army of the Xiongnu and Xiliang.

In this war, all three parties seemed to be out of the way, the prince of the Xiongnu and the khan were there, and Xiliang naturally sent his main army. They all hoped that this time they would be able to win in one fell swoop and carve up the fertile land of the Central Plains. On the side of the Han army, the emperor also sent his newly established crown prince Yu Wenze to the battlefield under the repeated insistence of Prime Minister Du Heng.

Yu Wenze is one year younger than Xiling Ye, and his appearance is ordinary, and he can't find the type in the crowd.

With the troops, he will not know at all. Poetry and articles are also done well.

Before Yu Wenze became the crown prince, he was just an ordinary prince. The reason why he became the crown prince was all because his mother was the emperor's wife, the empress at that time, the empress's family was hand-eyed, powerful, often intervened in the affairs of the dynasty, and formed a lot of Liang Zi with the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty, so he also needed the support of the next generation of emperors.

But he didn't support his mother very much.

Morning and dusk are fixed or something, but there is never a mistake, but emotionally, but there is never closeness.

The emperor attaches great importance to this prince, and since he was a child, he has found him the best civil and military gentleman in the country to train future heirs from all aspects.

even pulled a bunch of children from the minister's family to accompany them, and Xiling Ye was naturally among them.

The crown prince likes to plant flowers and grass, and the emperor has a headache.

This time, I was able to agree to Du Heng's proposal because I wanted him, an uncompetitive son, to go to the battlefield to see the dangers and grow a little better.

In the Jinluan Palace, the old emperor asked Xiling Ye to use the head of Xiang Shang as a guarantee, and he must protect his son.

Xiling Muhe, who was the secretary of the military department at the time, also said that if the prince made a mistake, he was willing to be dismissed and imprisoned immediately. The old emperor finally let go.

The prince knew almost nothing about war, and his hands were white and clean, and there was not a drop of blood.

Yu Wenze was very relieved to follow Xiling Ye on the expedition.

In his previous understanding, there was nothing that Xiling Ye couldn't solve. And Xilingye's family is a general handed down from the founding of the country, not only has he been a military wizard for generations, but he has always been loyal to the royal family.

On the battlefield, he still had nothing to do, and continued to plant flowers and grass.

Regarding this prince, not only his father had a headache, but also the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. This look can't inherit the appearance of the unification, I really don't know how he will take over the world that has made a mess for his father.

He has a lot of younger brothers, all of whom want to abolish him and stand on his own, but for various reasons, they have not succeeded, which is naturally indispensable to the protection of Prime Minister Du Heng and the Xiling family.

Although everyone has a headache, Xiling Ye may be the only minister who has a headache more than the old emperor. He has always been protecting this unsuccessful prince, and later he himself began to wonder what the point of doing this is, it is better to let other princes who are more suitable for the throne take the position of this prince, it is a relief for everyone.

How tense the battle is, Xiling Ye has never told the prince. Naturally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who doesn't care much about the war situation, will not take the initiative to ask.

Xiling Ye protected the crown prince in a way that was almost under house arrest.

The prince is very homely, and occasionally he does not obey Xiling Ye's control. After all, he still remembered that he was the crown prince, and Xiling Ye was just a courtier of his Yuwen family.

The war has been going on for a year, and it's not over yet.

The prince felt a little tired, the weather in the northwest was not very good, many of the delicate flowers and plants he brought were dead, and he was very bored in the army all day.

Just when Xiling Ye sent someone to invite Bai Qian, the prince suddenly disappeared.

Xiling Ye suppressed this matter without authorization, but when the prince was still in the tent, he sent a few henchmen to watch, imitate the prince's handwriting and continue to write to the court.

Xiling Ye has accompanied the prince since he was a child, and he has also written homework for the prince, so his handwriting is naturally very familiar.

The emperor is far away, and no one has reported him yet.

Deceiving such a major event as the disappearance of the prince is enough to kill the head for a long time. But to be honest, it's also a head-killing, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. After weighing it, Xiling Ye thought about it, the current war situation is stalemate, and he can't do without himself, so let's continue to fight.

Fortunately, Du Heng did not give the old emperor a chance to make trouble, nor did he give the prince a chance to clean up the mess. Even if this prince is alive, he will probably become Du Heng's ghost.

The matter of missing from the battlefield slowly evolved into a rumored event when the prince personally conquered and sacrificed his life for the country. It sounds a bit heroic, and it can be regarded as adding a little rare brilliance to Yu Wenze's ordinary life.

When Bai Qian came to the battlefield, he saw Xiling Ye returning from the expedition in the middle of the night.

He would carry a pot of old wine, and stand in front of Bai Qian with wind and frost. The young man had some stubble on his face, and he looked much older than Bai Qian.

Bai Qian had never seen Xiling Ye look so embarrassed and decadent.

You don't have to think about it to know that this battle is very hard.

Bai Qian led the horse into Liangzhou City, this time there was nothing urgent, and the sound of the horse's hooves seemed very relaxed.

Liangzhou City, like other places, quickly forgot about the war. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Bai Qian would have almost never believed that this city had fled in the war.

For no reason, Bai Qian remembered that Yu Wenze, the former crown prince of the former dynasty who had been vaguely mentioned by Xiling Ye several times, his wish was just such a prosperous peace.

Not only Yu Wenze, isn't Xiling Ye himself looking forward to it like this?
