1503 Chapter 808

After that, the Dayu court, which had been calm for a while, made waves again!

Civil and military officials were all worried about the Southern Border Army's surprise attack on Xiye.

In the early morning of this day, Han Lingfu, the king of Gong Jun, stood up resolutely and made two suggestions to the emperor impassionedly:

First, Dayu once again sent a peace letter to Xiye;

Second, in order to express the sincerity of Da Yu to negotiate peace, please order the emperor to seize the vassal, take back the military power of Zhennan Wangfu, and send troops to the southern border!

After Han Lingfu's words were finished, the entire dynasty was silent. The officials in two rows in the Golden Palace were either looking at Han Lingfu or the emperor, all waiting for the emperor's decision.

Han Lingfu bowed with both hands and stood proudly, his eyes twinkling, he was very sure of his proposal.

Southern Xinjiang has been fighting for several years, and the treasury has long been empty, and the soldiers are depleted and the people are scarce. However, the Zhennan King and his son are short-sighted, and they have divided most of the troops of the Southern Xinjiang Army to go on an expedition to Xiye!

The southern Xinjiang army is exhausted and exhausted after traveling thousands of miles, how can they fight against the division of tigers and wolves in the west night? !

Thinking about it, a mocking and disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Han Lingfu's mouth.

In addition, the 10,000 reinforcements sent by the Southern Border Army to the Western Border are deducted. It is conceivable that there must be few defenders left in the Southern Border now. As long as the emperor agreed and gave him tens of thousands of troops to go south, he would be able to take the southern border smoothly.

King Zhennan is Dayu's only vassal king. His father has long wanted to withdraw from the vassal. As long as he can get rid of Zhennan Wangfu smoothly this time, he will have military merits, not only the first emperor, the second emperor and the fifth emperor. From now on, the emperor's younger brother will never stand up again, and he will be able to shock the court. In the future, after he ascends the throne, he will be able to sit firmly in the supreme position and stabilize Dayu Jiangshan!

Han Lingfu was in high spirits, and the scene when he took the place of his father and sat on the throne of the Golden Palace had already appeared in his mind. His blood was boiling, and he could only barely suppress the excitement in his heart.

However, the emperor on the throne was hesitant. Now that the area around Feixia Mountain is occupied by a 100,000-strong army of Xiye, no one knows when the army of Xiye will continue to march eastward.

Of course, he has the heart to negotiate with Xiye, but he is also worried that once Dayu separates a part of his troops to march south, Xiye suddenly regrets and refuses to negotiate with Xiye. The southern border and the western border are separated by thousands of miles, and the thirst cannot be quenched in the distance. Where can he send troops to block Xiye and protect the capital? !

The emperor was very scruples in his heart, and he didn't say anything for a long time, which made the atmosphere in the golden hall more and more solemn...

The rising sun was rising higher and higher outside, and the weather in the first month was still cold. After the morning, a hurried guest was ushered in the palace of King Jingjun.

"See your lord." Nangong Xin entered Han Lingfan's outer study under the guidance of the little servant, and saluted respectfully.

Han Lingfan motioned for Nangong Xin to sit down, and then said with a complicated expression, "A Xin, this morning, Father Huang has made a decision..."

In the study, the air is cold.

"..." Nangong Xin also knew what Han Lingfan was going to say, and the hand holding the tea cup subconsciously exerted a little force before putting it back again.

"My father has decided to seize the throne of Zhennan Wangfu's vassal king in order to show his favor to Xiye. Axin, now this king can't do anything..." After speaking, Han Lingfan's voice became more and more difficult. I know if I'm disappointed or ashamed...

"You'd better send someone to report to the Southern Border as soon as possible, so that the Zhennan Palace can be prepared..." Han Lingfan clenched his fists, and his deep eyes passed Nangong Xin on the dead wood in the courtyard outside the window, which was as dark as ink.

Nangong Xin's expression became more complicated. She lowered her head and stared at the rising and falling of the tea leaves in the tea cup. After a while, she raised her eyes again to look at Han Lingfan.

Nangong Xin's eyes flickered, but she asked, "Your Highness, do you really think that Da Yu can't help Nanjiang?"

A Xin's implication was...Han Lingfan's eyes were slightly wide, and he pursed his lips.

The room was silent for a moment, a gust of cold wind blew through the window, and the rustling sound of branches and leaves made the atmosphere in the study feel a little desolate.

"My lord, based on what I know about my sister-in-law, Yi, he is not a person who is beyond his own power," Nangong Xin speculated and analyzed, "Since the Southern Border Army can pacify the Baiyue and Nanliang rebellions, There is spare energy to send troops to attack Xiye, so no matter how Xiye's envoys brag about him in front of the emperor, just because King Xiye sent his envoys to the king to file a complaint, we can know that on the battlefield of Xiye now. , I'm afraid the Southern Border Army has the upper hand!" Nangong Xin analyzed with reason, his gentle profile revealed a bit of determination and vigor at this time.

Hearing this, Han Lingfan was unavoidably surprised, but he couldn't be as optimistic about the situation in Southern Xinjiang as Nangong Xin was, and hurriedly reminded: "A Xin, but the Southern Border Army has only 200,000 troops, and it is in Baiyue and Henan. After the Battle of Nanliang, I am afraid that the strength of the troops has been greatly reduced. Now, in addition to Xiye, Southern Border has sent 10,000 elite soldiers to Western Border..."

Han Lingfan said, suddenly thought of something, and fell silent again.

He thought of the battle situation in the Western Xinjiang, and thought that over the years, the Southern Border had defeated Baiyue and Nanliang successively. Although the strength of the troops must have been compromised, it also turned the Southern Border Army into a battle-hardened division. The invincible elite teacher!

Xiao Yi, as the prince and the head coach, is even more experienced in battles. If he is not sure, how could Xiao Yi personally lead troops to rashly attack Xiye? !

Han Lingfan's mood changed rapidly, and gradually, his expression became complicated and tangled.

After a while, Han Lingfan let out a long sigh, his eyes darkened, and he said thoughtfully: "The Zhennan Palace has been loyal to Dayu since the deceased old prince, since the Southern Border Army has been loyal to Dayu. He was able to divide his forces to go west to the west, but he never showed the intention of the northern expedition. For many years, he has been in a peaceful corner. Obviously, Zhennan Wangfu has no objection!"

The more Han Ling and Fan said, the more obscure his voice was, and his eyebrows were furrowed. Now he was worried about how the Zhennan Palace would react once his father cut off the southern expedition.

Since Nanjiang has strength, then Dayu wants to cut down the vassal, and Zhennan Wangfu will not be captured. Next...

Dayu is afraid to usher in a civil war that is enough to shock Dayu...

Once the war begins, only those people at dawn will suffer!

Thinking about it, a deep sadness appeared in Han Lingfan's eyes, almost overflowing.

After a while, Han Lingfan took a deep breath and persuaded sternly: "Axin, I think you'd better leave the capital as soon as possible!" Han Lingfan called himself "I" rather than "this king", which means that he is a friend The position is suggested to Nangong Xin.

Hearing this, Nangong Xin was surprised, but a warm current surged in her heart. To Nangong Xin, Han Lingfan is not only the fifth prince or King Jing, but also one of his best friends!

Although Han Lingfan had some words that he didn't say just now, judging from the change in his expression, Nangongxin could also see that Han Lingfan knew that Dayu was going to start a war with Nanjiang!

But even so, Han Lingfan's first reaction was to leave the capital to avoid disaster.

Nangong Xin stared at the elegant and sincere young man in front of him without blinking, with all kinds of emotions entangled in his heart. He admired Han Lingfan's character, and felt unwilling and righteous indignation for him.

Obviously, among the adult princes, Han Lingfan has a generous temperament, an open mind, and is diligent and eager to learn... but he is not recognized by the emperor!

Nangong Xin calmed down and smiled bitterly: "My lord, the emperor will not let me go. Originally, the emperor kept me in the capital as a restraint..." Otherwise, he would have been removed from the prince's companion long ago. After reading it, and without fame, it was time to leave the capital and go to Jiangnan to reunite with his parents and family.

Han Lingfan was speechless. Between his thoughts, his expression became darker and his heart was heavy, but he heard Nangong Xin say meaningfully: "My lord, in fact, I think that the emperor's withdrawal of the feudal lords and the southern expedition this time may mean to you. It's not a bad thing."

Meeting Han Lingfan's doubtful eyes, Nangong Xin continued unhurriedly: "My lord, have you ever thought about showing your favor to the Zhennan Palace? The matter of seizing the domain..."

Nangong Xin clicked and looked at Han Lingfan deeply.

He still has half of the words left unspoken. He can be sure that the Zhennan Palace will not lose in this battle. At that time, with Yi's temper and clear grievances, he should receive Han Lingfan's affection to some extent. If he can get the support of the Zhennan Palace, he believes that Han Lingfan will be able to get through this current difficulty!

Say goodbye to Zhennan Wangfu? ! Han Lingfan's pupils shrank, looking at Nangong Xin thoughtfully, unable to hide his surprise.

He's a smart guy, one click gets through.

Nangong Xin's words clearly meant that the Southern Border Army would win this battle? ! Based on what he knew about Nangong Xin, A Xin was by no means a person who spoke rashly!

If the Southern Border Army really wins, will Zhennan Palace continue to go north because of this?

Han Lingfan's lips moved, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened and confused he became.

He said to himself, must not let the situation go that far!

But he also knew in his heart that he was too weak now, and if he wanted to do something, he had to "fight".

Although he himself does not care about the position of the prince, but after these days, he has clearly seen many things that he had never thought about before. The battle for the crown prince is not just about him personally. Now because of his loss, the life of the empress, the Duke of Enguo, his companions, and the Taifu is not easy. If he can't reverse the situation, then I am afraid there will be more problems in the future. bad...

Thinking about it, Han Lingfan's face was sinking like water, and his whole body was a little stiff.

He didn't want the people beside him to live like this all his life, and even if the third emperor succeeded the throne in the future, he might not be able to tolerate him.

This is the harsh reality!

After being suppressed by the emperor, Han Lingfan began to think carefully about seizing the heir for the first time.

After a while, Han Lingfan opened his lips and said, "Axin, thank you. I'll think about it..."

Han Lingfan's words made Nangong Xin heave a sigh of relief. If Han Lingfan himself had planned to give up the crown prince, then it would be useless for others to do more. Only if Han Lingfan had the will to change the status quo, then they would be able to do so. Can be.

After the two young people had secret conversations in the study for nearly an hour, Nangong Xin just left.

As soon as he left the front foot, Han Lingfan got another news. The eldest princess Yongyang hurried to the palace in the morning and the back today. She wanted to see the emperor, but was rejected by the emperor from the imperial study. After that, Yongyang left the palace. Back to the princess mansion, closed the mansion by himself, and thanked guests behind closed doors.

Han Lingfan was locked in the study by himself for a long time, and after that, he quietly went to Prince Enguo's mansion and didn't come out until the curfew...

The stars and moon in the sky quietly look down at the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the world, and they are fleeting in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning of the next day, the emperor officially issued the decree to cut down the vassal, and ordered the hussar general Li Duzhong to lead 10,000 troops to the southern border to issue the decree. The deterrence is self-evident.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. After the early dynasty, this incident spread quickly among the palaces in the capital. Civil and military officials and the nobles of the clan were secretly talking about the emperor's cutting of the vassal. As for Han Lingfu, who cut the vassal. The proponent is even more in the limelight.

More and more courtiers began to lean towards Han Lingfu. For example, Li Duzhong came to Gongjun Prince's Mansion quietly after the early court.

Han Lingfu vigorously instructed Li Duzhong to make sure that he must do a good job in this errand when he went to southern Xinjiang, and hinted that he would be reused in the future when the other party returned triumphantly.

After Li Duzhong clearly expressed his loyalty to Han Lingfu, he retired wisely.

In the outer study, only Han Lingfu was left.

Han Lingfu hooked his lips into a smile, his heart was surging, and a pair of dark eyes flashed with an ambitious light.

In front of him, he seemed to have seen the people in Zhennan's palace reduced to prisoners and brought to the capital to be punished for their crimes, while he accepted the award from his father and established himself as the prince in the court...

What a great start to the new year!

Han Lingfu proudly held up the tea cup and used the tea lid to remove the tea leaves floating on the tea soup... At this moment, Xiao Lizi hurriedly walked in, panic and panting on his fair and delicate face.

"My lord, it's not good!" Xiao Lizi said sweating profusely after saluting, "The slave just got the news from the southern border, and the concubine is... she is dead!" Xiao Lizi is Han Lingfu His close friends naturally knew why Qi Yi left the capital and went to the southern border in person, and felt a sense of anxiety.

Hearing this, Han Lingfu turned pale in shock, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, and his whole body cooled down.

It has been several months since Qiyi left the capital, and there is no news... Han Lingfu became more and more worried, so he had to send someone to the southern border to inquire about the situation, but he did not expect such a news to come back.

How can a dress die? !

For Han Lingfu, it doesn't matter whether Qiyi is dead or alive, the question is, what should he do with his Wuhe paste? !

Wuhe paste in his hand is running out!

Thinking of the feeling that life is worse than death when Wuhe Gao's addicted hair is acting, Han Lingfu's handsome face is ashen, like a concubine in mourning, and his hands even tremble slightly.

Han Lingfu took a deep breath and calmed down a lot. He asked a series of questions like a cannonball: "What happened? How did Qi Yi die? Did the Zhennan Palace do it?!" His eyes were cold and sharp, shooting out like two cold arrows.

Han Lingfu saw Xiao Lizi's body tense, she bowed her head slightly, and replied respectfully: "My lord, the news only mentioned that after the concubine Qiyi was killed, her body was nailed to Luoyue City with three daggers. in an alley..."

Just speaking in such a few words, Xiao Lizi felt that the death of Qi Yi was a bit weird and bloody.

Han Lingfu's face turned cold, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and he said intuitively, "Zhennan Wangfu must be the work of Zhennan Wangfu!"

Zhennan Wangfu has always been at odds with Baiyue. Qiyi is the saint of Baiyue. Zhennan Wangfu has always been quick to get rid of her. It must be that Qiyi accidentally exposed her whereabouts, so the people of Zhennan Wangfu secretly Killed her.

Zhennan Wangfu is really brave! Knowing that Qiyi is his side concubine, he still dares to kill, but he clearly does not take his dignified Prince Gong in his eyes!

He will never let them go!

Thinking about it, Han Lingfu's pupils flashed a vicious light, and he swears secretly through gritted teeth.

His father had already made his decision, and Li Duzhong was about to set off for the southern border. This time, the Zhennan Palace was doomed. For him, the most troublesome problem now was Wuhe Gao!

Wuhe paste...

The taste of Wuhe paste not only made Han Lingfu intoxicated and nostalgic, but also made him fearful.

He must get enough Wuhe paste to be at ease!

Han Lingfan said to himself in his heart, and stood up irritably. He pushed Xiao Lizi away impatiently and strode out of the outer study.

Xiao Lizi staggered a step, and hurriedly followed, looking at Han Lingfu's complicated eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart.

I don't know if it's his illusion. Since last year, the prince's temper has become more and more irritable, and it's easier to lose control... It's like that day in Xinghuiyuan...

Han Lingfu, who was walking in front, could not see Xiao Lizi's worried eyes, and strode towards Xinghuiyuan.

He was going to see Bai Muxiao.

On that day, he had just taken Wuhe paste, and his whole body was in a state of floating like a fairy. When he was excited, his emotions became a little out of control, and he almost killed Bai Muxiao. Fortunately, he was brought by Xijiang at that time. The emergency military newspaper interrupted, making him calm down all of a sudden.

Bai Muxiao couldn't die for the time being!

Although Li Yi agreed to provide him with the Five Harmony Anointment, but she is a foreign race, not my race, her heart will be different... He must use that evil species to contain Li Yi to ensure their cooperation.

As long as that evil seed still has value, he must keep Bai Muxiao to "watch" that evil seed for him, so that Qiyi and Bai Muxiao can restrain each other.

However, Han Lingfu did not expect that after Qiyi left, he would never come back!

Han Lingfu's expression became more complicated. In his thoughts, he had already arrived at the Xinghui Academy.

Han Lingfu had already ordered his confidant to guard the Xinghui Academy, and no one could enter except him, not even the successor of the Concubine Chen.

Han Lingfu ignored the aunts and wives who saluted him, and strode into the house.

Now, the only servants serving in Bai Muxiao's house are Bihen and Biluo. When the two maids saw Han Lingfu, they were silent.

As for Bai Muxiao, she was sitting on an armchair by the window reading a book, her hair was disheveled, and she was wearing a lake-colored jacket, she lost a lot of weight, which made her chin pointy, and her small face even more attractive.

She seemed to be immersed in the book, motionless, and naturally did not get up to salute Han Lingfu.

Han Lingfu didn't care about these etiquettes either, and said straight to the point: "This king just got the news that Qiyi is dead."

Bai Muxiao finally reacted, put down the book, looked at Han Lingfu in surprise, and then drew a mocking and contemptuous smile, saying, "This is probably 'Fate', my lord, please forgive me."

She also knew about the matter of setting her clothes down, and she knew what Han Lingfu was worried about...

Is this really retribution? !

Han Lingfu naturally heard Bai Muxiao's sarcasm, and hated it in his heart, but he didn't want to be quick, so he endured his anger and said, "Bai Muxiao, this king didn't come to argue with you. This king asked. Where do you have Wuhe paste?!" Han Lingfu asked through gritted teeth.

Bai Muxiao laughed wildly as if she had heard a joke, and even tears overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

She wiped away the tears with her fingertips and said slowly: "My lord, please beg me! As long as I am satisfied, I will naturally give you Wuhe paste!"

Han Lingfu's pupils shrank sharply, and he was in shock. Does Bai Muxiao really have Wuhe paste in her hand? ! Or maybe the dress left her with a message...

Thinking about it, Han Lingfu was almost a little scared.

Fortunately, he didn't kill Bai Muxiao out of control that day, otherwise...

"Bai Muxiao, what do you want?!"

Han Lingfu's voice was almost squeezed out between his teeth, and their eyes met in mid-air, sparks radiating everywhere.

The room fell silent, as if an invisible force was gathering momentum...

At the same time, the emperor's decree to go south was also spread in the capital, and within a day, even the common people heard about it, and the discussions were in full swing.

Two days later, Li Du Zhong took the imperial decree and led a mighty army of 10,000 to leave the capital and head for the southern border.

In the afternoon of that day, Han Lingfan and Nangong Xin went to the palace of the eldest princess Yongyang to ask to see Yongyang.
