Final Volume Chapter 54

Qiu Zhen asked curiously: "Do you have anything else to do tomorrow, Your Majesty?"

Tang Yin said: "Since you have decided to move to Beijing, of course you have to choose a location. TXT download. The palace needs to choose a location, and your official residence must also choose a location."

Qiu Zhen asked: "Does the king really think that the imperial court should be moved to Shangjing?"

Tang Yin took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "Moving the capital south is the general trend. Even if we don't do it now, we will have to do it later. Rather than leaving trouble in the future, it is better to complete it now."

Qiu Zhen asked no more questions. Since it was something that the king had already decided, it would be useless no matter how much he said. Moreover, the king was right. From now on, the focus of the Feng Kingdom would definitely be on the Sichuan Kingdom, and the capital would be moved south. It is also the general trend.

The next day, Tang Yin took a group of civil and military ministers from the Feng Kingdom to visit various places in Beijing to choose a location. It took five days just to select a location for the palace.

The ministers also have different opinions on the specific location of the palace. Some ministers believe that the palace should be closer to the palace. First, they can control the emperor nearby. Second, they can also create the illusion that the king and the emperor are close. Others think that the palace should be closer to the palace. The main purpose of staying away from the palace is to avoid suspicion and not to leave the impression that the king wants to be on par with the emperor.

Tang Yin carefully analyzed the opinions of the ministers and finally decided to make a compromise and set the location of the palace on the north side of the palace. It was not far from the palace, but not close either. Its size was roughly the same as that of Zhenjiang Palace.

After choosing the address of the palace, in the next few days, the ministers of Feng Kingdom selected locations for their respective official residences, while Tang Yin toured the surrounding areas of Shangjing. The capital was to be moved south. In addition to him and the main ministers of the Feng Kingdom moving to Shangjing, the various legions of the Feng Kingdom also had to move to Shangjing.

The Central Army of the Feng Kingdom has millions of people and more than ten legions. For such a large number of armies to be stationed in the Shangjing area, many military camps need to be built, and the land for each legion's farmland must be divided. These have to be decided by Tang Yin personally. .

At this time, on the surface, the capital of Feng Kingdom was still Zhenjiang, but in fact, the move to move the capital to Shangjing had already begun in full swing.

Compared with Feng Kingdom's planned and step-by-step secret relocation of the capital, Sichuan Kingdom seemed much more chaotic. In the battle between the three counties in northern Sichuan, Buying led his army to successfully repel the invading Feng army. However, this victory did not stop the power struggle in the Sichuan court, but intensified.

Buying was assigned by Xiao Xiang to go to the three counties in northern Sichuan to fight against the Feng Army. Xiao Xiang undoubtedly contributed the most to the victory in this battle, which greatly increased her prestige in Sichuan.

But at the same time, she also aroused the jealousy of her brothers and sisters, and caused many Xiao royal families to end their disputes and instead unite together to deal with her alone.

Xiao Xiang had never expected that such a situation would occur. She felt helpless, sad, and even more angry. For the sake of the throne that should belong to her, her brothers and sisters all regarded her as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. , not only unhappy, but even to the point of hysteria.

Although many of Xiao's children have joined forces, Xiao Xiang still has a big advantage, that is, the senior commanders in the army are leaning towards her, such as Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lu You, Buying generals.

It was precisely because of these commanders supporting Xiao Xiang that the princes and princesses who wanted to eradicate Xiao Xiang did not dare to blatantly murder her.

On this day, Xiao Xiang was practicing calligraphy in the study. A servant came in and reported: "Princess, someone from the Ninth Young Master's Mansion wants to see the princess."

"Brother Rong?" Xiao Xiang was startled. Among her brothers and sisters, she was still very close to the Ninth Young Master Xiao Rong.

First of all, their mothers are biological sisters, and their relationship is unparalleled. Secondly, Xiao Xiang is eight years older than Xiao Rong. It can be said that she has watched Xiao Rong grow up. She treats Xiao Rong as a complete A younger brother from the same father and mother.

"Invite someone to meet me in the study." Xiao Xiang nodded to the servant who came to report the news.

"Yes! Princess!" The servant agreed and left quickly. Not long after, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed as a book boy, was led in by a servant. When the young man saw Xiao Xiang, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said, "Young man, please see the fifth princess."

Xiao Xiang and Xiao Rong are very familiar with each other, and naturally he is no stranger to his book boy. She smiled slightly, waved her hand and said, "Jian Ming, why are you here? But Ninth Brother has something to see me?"

The book boy nodded repeatedly and said: "Young Master just received a batch of crabs caught from Nanhu this morning. Knowing that Her Highness the Princess always likes to eat, I sent a servant to invite the Princess to have a meal at your house."

"I see." Xiao Xiang nodded with a smile. During this sensitive period, the only one who dared to contact him was his ninth brother. She sighed in her heart and said to the book boy: "Jianming, go back and tell your ninth brother that I will be there at noon."

"Yes! Princess, the villain is resigning!"

"Well, go ahead!"

Watching the book boy leave, Xiao Xiang showed a happy smile on his face. At this time, Xing Yuan, one of her personal bodyguards, walked in from the outside, came to Xiao Xiang's side, and whispered: "Your Highness, Ninth Young Master has not invited you earlier or later, but he has invited you at this juncture. Meal, I'm afraid one of them..." He didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was already clear.

Xiao Xiang glanced at Xing Yuan dissatisfied and asked, "Do you think Brother Rong will hurt me again?"

"Your Highness, people's hearts are separated from each other, so we have to be on guard. Please put down the banquet, just in case something unexpected happens." Xing Yuan said seriously.

"Mr. Xing is overthinking. I watched Rongdi grow up. I know him very well. Anyone could betray me or harm me, but Rongdi won't. I have confidence in this." Xiao Xiang said confidently. Then, seeing that Xing Yuan was still talking, she waved her hand and interrupted, "Okay, don't persuade me anymore. Besides, it's the time when Nanhu crabs are ripe. Isn't it just right for Rongdi to treat me to crabs now!"

Xing Yuan sighed secretly. It seemed that it was impossible to persuade the princess. He had to be more careful.

That day, at noon, Xiao Xiang arrived at the appointment on time and came to Xiao Rong's Ninth Prince's Mansion under the protection of many guards.

The size of the Ninth Prince's Mansion is similar to that of Xiao Xiang's Fifth Princess' Mansion. Even the internal layout is almost the same. To put it bluntly, the Ninth Prince's Mansion was built according to the Fifth Princess' Mansion.

Xiao Rong is eight years younger than Xiao Xiang, and he is only seventeen years old this year. He is born with delicate skin and tender flesh, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and is only a little taller than Xiao Xiang. He is almost as thin as Xiao Xiang, and is frail. At first glance, you can tell that he is a young master or son of a wealthy family.

Knowing that Xiao Xiang is coming, Xiao Rong personally greeted her out of the Ninth Young Master's Mansion. After seeing Xiao Xiang, he ran up with a smile on his face, took Xiao Xiang's hand, and said, "Fifth sister, you made me wait so long!"

It can be said that Xiao Rong is the only young master who can make Xiao Xiang feel the love of brothers. She took Xiao Rong's hand, looked him up and down, frowned and said, "It's only been a few days since we last met, and Rong brother has lost some weight again. Have you not eaten well these days?"

Even though Xiao Rong is an adult and has his own young master's mansion, in Xiao Xiang's mind, he is still regarded as a child.

Xiao Rong's eyes widened, and he said seriously, "I ate well. If you don't believe me, ask Jianming and the others..." As he spoke, he turned around and winked at the book boys behind him. Seeing this, the book boys hurriedly nodded.

How could his evil intentions be hidden from Xiao Xiang's eyes? She shook her head helplessly, and said while pulling Xiao Rong to the mansion, "My father just passed away. My mother and aunt are heartbroken. You and I can't let my mother and aunt worry anymore."

Hearing this, Xiao Rong's eyes suddenly turned red, bit his lips, and nodded silently. Seeing his sad look, Xiao Xiang felt a pang in her heart. She raised her hand to support his hair, and changed the subject and asked, "Has Brother Rong sent anything to Brother Wang recently?"

(ps: I caught a cold these days, my whole body aches, and I feel dizzy. I will not update in time. Please understand, book friends. I originally planned to finish two chapters today, but I really can't write anymore. I'm shivering with cold. I apologize to everyone here.)
