Northern Dynasties

When Prince Xiao Gang and several officials from the East Palace rushed to the Wende Hall, Zhu Yizheng, the leader of the army, led the guards of the Zhidian Hall to guard in front of the hall.

Seeing Zhu Yi's figure, a glint of gloom flashed in the prince's eyes, he quickly climbed up the steps of the palace, looked at Zhu Yi and asked in a deep voice, "How is the Supreme Being in the body now? Who is serving in the palace?"

Zhu Yi took a small step back, bowed respectfully to the prince, and said, "His Royal Highness, General Zhige Yao Sengyuan is treating His Majesty in the hall."

Hearing this, the crown prince breathed a sigh of relief, Yao Sengyuan is a well-known doctor in the country, and now he is also living in the imperial doctor's office, and he went straight to the Wende Hall to prepare for questions about the emperor's daily illnesses.

Although His Majesty the Emperor is getting older, he has been abstinent and abstinent all year round, and has been on a vegetarian diet. He is in good health and has no serious illnesses. Now that he has a famous doctor to take care of the Emperor, he should not be seriously ill.

After the heart was relieved, the prince stared at Zhu Yi again and said in a deep voice: "The leader should know why the Supreme is here?"

Although the words were an inquiry, the tone was firm. Obviously the crown prince believed that this matter must have something to do with Zhu Yi.

After Zhu Yi heard the words, he bowed his body and said respectfully: "The Western Province has newly obtained the Huaibei Battle Report, Hanshan has lost its law, and the Marquis of Zhenyang and others are not among the thieves. Your Majesty heard that there is a reason..."

"What? The Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated!"

When the prince heard this, his expression was utterly defeated, and he immediately understood why His Majesty the Emperor was ill.

The use of troops in the Northern Expedition was controversial in the court and in the middle of the country. After all, it was His Majesty the Emperor who overcame all opinions and decided to send troops arbitrarily. He was defeated in Huaibei.

The crown prince still needs to have a closer look at the situation of the war, but soon General Zhige Yao Sengyuan went out to tell everyone that His Majesty's situation must be stabilized, and told Shengyi to call Zhu Yi to see him.

The prince had already moved forward and was about to step forward, but after hearing the words, a bit of embarrassment and gloom appeared on his face, so he could only stand there.But not long after Zhu Yixing entered, the eunuch Zhang Sengyin came out and called the prince and Liu Jin into the palace.

At this time, in Wende Hall, there was a complex atmosphere of decoction mixed with incense, and a faint smoke lingered in the hall. Xiao Yan, the Bodhisattva Emperor of Daliang, reclined on the couch in the smoke, with kind eyebrows, kind eyes, and cranes. Her hair was like snow, and although her face was a little haggard, she still looked graceful.

When the prince came in to pay his respects, Xiao Yan bowed slightly to show that he was fine, and then asked softly, "What is the prince doing today?"

"Before my son held a banquet for the scholars of Wende Province in the Xuanyou Hall of the Eastern Palace, I was shocked to hear that the Supreme Being..."

The prince quickly bowed his head to answer, before he finished speaking, Xiao Yan knocked on the copper stove beside the bed with a silver handle to interrupt his words, and immediately nodded with satisfaction and said: "The more urgent the matter, the more urgent it will be." You should be quiet and self-preserving. The prince does not panic when things happen, and he already has the attitude of the Fang family.

There is something wrong with my current body. In order to calm the people inside and outside, I will temporarily support myself in the inner garden. The prince will lead the army with Zhu to lead the affairs of the western province and branch office. "

Hearing this, the prince was overjoyed and then sighed in his heart, his mood was very complicated, he understood that His Majesty the Emperor was ashamed to see his officials because of Hanshan's new defeat, so he hid himself in the inner garden.The prince was very happy because he went to the west province for the time being, but he arranged for Zhu Yi to divide the power, so he still didn't want to trust his son.

But no matter what, he didn't dare to question His Majesty's decision at this moment, so he hurriedly bowed and accepted orders.

Xiao Yan encouraged the prince a few more words in a warm voice, and then waved his hand to signal that he could quit, but left Zhu Yi behind, and entrusted him with other matters.

After exiting Wende Hall, the prince took several officials and headed straight for the western province. After entering the province, he ordered his staff to take the Hanshan battle report and wanted to read it carefully, but was told that there was no backup in the province.

After pondering for a while, he asked about Jingzhou and Yongzhou's respective reports. This time, the officials quickly submitted the relevant documents.

The information in Jingzhou is similar to what the crown prince received in the East Palace before. It was reported that King Yueyang, the governor of Yongzhou, was suspected of abusing the famous people in the realm. I hope the court can face up to this matter and send staff to investigate it strictly. Many details are mostly caused by conflicts between King Yueyang and the great clans in the realm.

As for the Yongzhou Zoubao, it is another argument. King Yueyang did not deny the siege and killing of the Jingzhaodu family, but the reason was that the Western Wei Dynasty invaded Liankexinxing and Nanyang counties. When the Du family was held accountable, the Du family was afraid of being punished and mobilized the crowd for civil strife. King Yueyang had no choice but to destroy his clan.

After reading the reports from both parties, the prince felt quite emotional again.He is a compatriot with the former crown prince, and his relationship is very deep, but because he was succeeded as crown prince, those nephews may not be willing to treat him as a real uncle.

Although the King of Xiangdong and the crown prince are half-brothers, they have the same interest in each other, and they often exchange and interact with each other on literary metaphysics.

After pondering for a while, the crown prince agreed to Xiangdong King's request, and sent his staff to Xiangyang to investigate the matter clearly. If Du's crime deserved and Yueyang King's punishment was fair, everyone would be happy.If it is verified that King Yueyang was cruel and inhumane and killed famous people, then after investigation by the King of Eastern Hunan, it can be guaranteed that his ugliness will not be exposed to the outside world.

But before he wrote a written reply here, Zhu Yi, the leader of the central government, also walked in. When he saw the file that the prince had read, Zhu Yi smiled apologetically and said, "Your Highness, the two states have reached a conclusion on this matter. The officers went to Xiangyang to investigate and set off this morning."

"If it has been issued, why is there no comment on the document?"

The prince is naturally not a child who can be coaxed by others, and he pointed to the file and frowned after hearing the words.

After Zhu Yi heard the words, he smiled again and said: "It's like this. When the news of the Hanshan Army came out, the officials of the Western Province were shocked. For fear of leaking the matter, everything in pen and print was temporarily sealed off for half a day. But the matter that was dealt with before has indeed been handed over to Yousi. Your Highness has not observed things for a long time, or is unaware of this small change in the program."

"It is true that I have not been at the desk for a long time, and I was informed by the leader Lao Zhu."

The prince smiled and nodded when he heard this, and then signaled the officials at the side to put away the file, and turned to look up other things.

Zhu Yi returned to his desk and sat down, took out a shiny and small jade pot from his arms, carefully took out some crystal clear snow-white grains with a silver spoon, sprinkled them into the teacup on the desk, and then served it Take a sip of tea.

In the evening, the prince got up and left Xixing Zhitang, Zhu Yi sat in his seat and watched the prince leave.

After a while, a young general in Imperial Guard uniform stepped into the straight hall.This person is the General of the Army Guard, the King of Hedong Xiaoyu, and the elder brother of the King of Yueyang Xiao Yu.

"Lingjun Zhu is in Zhixi Province today, so I don't think he has time to go elsewhere. Xiao Wang originally intended to entertain the leader at the Taichung annex tonight, but today I will send delicious food and wine to the leader's door."

King Hedong walked into the straight hall, clasped his fists slightly at Zhu Yi, and said with a smile.

Zhu Yi immediately smiled when he heard this, stood up to meet the King of Hedong, walked out of the straight hall with the King of Hedong, turned to sit down in the verandah near the left, and then replied: "The turbid body disturbs the king's elegance. My mistake, I will definitely visit the mansion in person when I have free time in the future. And please tell King Yueyang, I know what happened before, please live in the town peacefully, without any disturbance from dust!"

Hearing the desired answer, King Hedong was overjoyed. However, Xi Province is an important place, and there is no lack of disturbance to the ears and eyes, and it is not convenient to say something too straightforward, so he said goodbye after a few greetings.

The Southern Liang and Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated in Huaibei, and many generals since the commander Xiao Yuanming were captured by the Eastern Wei Dynasty. This astonishing news quickly spread throughout the country.

When Li Tai learned the news, it was already the middle of the first month of the 14th year of Datong.Due to the delay in the spread of news, the news of Hou Jing's defeat has not yet come, but it is already foreseeable.

Just when he was still feeling that the taste was getting more and more right, Cai Dabao, the envoy from Xiangyang who had been away for many days, came to Rangcheng again. He expressed his apology at the beginning of his visit, and explained that he had not been eradicating Jingzhao before. The reason why Mrs. Du came to contact me as soon as possible.

Although the battle between the two counties was progressing very smoothly, an accident occurred in the operation to eradicate the Jingzhaodu clan near Xiangyang City. Several escaped fish escaped and hid in other people's homes outside the city. There were quite a few rumors about this action, and it even alarmed Jiangling and even the Jiankang court.

But luckily King Yueyang came to the rescue in time, coupled with the fact that Hanshanyan's defeat made the people in the middle school anxious and had no time to take care of other messy affairs, so this incident can be regarded as a cover-up.

Hearing from the population of Nanliang that the defeat of Hanshanyan was actually a lucky thing, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This man's heart is broken, and the team is really hard to lead.In any case, as long as there are no major accidents in the plan, it is luck.As for what method Yueyang King used to eliminate the past, he was not interested either, so he didn't ask further.

Now that the contact with each other has been restored, it is natural to continue to promote the progress of the plan.The spring warms faster in the south of Shannan, and it would be best to completely open up the Han River before the flood season arrives.

In the next year, the situation can be described as changing rapidly, and Li Tai doesn't know how much influence and change he has brought to this era.But no matter how the situation changes, strengthening yourself is always the best way to adapt.
