Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 255

"If this is the case, I will naturally only say it in front of His Royal Highness Xian Wang. His Royal Highness Xian Wang is over forty this year. Let me ask you, are you really not at all anxious about succeeding to the throne?"

"The emperor has already entered his sixtieth year, but he still has a greed for the imperial power, and he holds it firmly in his hands and refuses to let go. May I ask how long His Royal Highness the Xianwang will have to wait before he can really sit on the splendid throne?" What about the yellow dragon chair?"

Lord Qi's every word and every word was hammered into Xia Bin's heart like a real hammer. Although he was silent, his fingers kept tapping on the table, and the constantly moving look in his eyes revealed his thoughts all over.

I only heard Lord Qi continue to say: "His Royal Highness, think about it for a while, even if the emperor's body is not as strong as before, but there is no three or five years when the emperor will not be so sick that he can't manage the government personally. Within a year, can His Royal Highness King Xian guarantee that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be squeezed out from the position of Crown Prince?"

"Even if you become the crown prince, it is not foolproof. There are so many princes in the Dalai royal family. Although there is no one who can compete with you at present, who can say what will happen in time. If Before you take the throne, there is a third strong contender, and then you will have to fight for the throne again, wouldn't it be miserable."

The room was surprisingly quiet, Master Qi's every word was analyzed logically, Xia Bin folded his hands on his mouth, his cloudy eyes kept turning with deep thoughts, as if he was making an extremely difficult decision.

"His Royal Highness, listen to me, some things should be decided early. Instead of putting your fate on an uncertain matter and a moody person, it is better to control the situation by yourself."

"It's more comfortable to rule than to be ruled by others. Your dream of the throne is very close, you just need to take the last step and seize the opportunity in front of you."

Lord Qi's voice fell in Xia Bin's ears, with a strong sense of delusion.

Yes, he waited for that seat, for that day, for a long time...

From the moment he was born, he was doomed not to be an emperor, because his mother was neither a queen nor a favored concubine.

His only pride is that he is the first prince of the Dalai Dynasty.

But in this royal family of Dalai, which has always established a descendant but not a concubine, and established a leader but not a virtuous person, so what if he is the first son of Ming Shengdi, the dragon chair and yellow robe and thousands of rivers and mountains have nothing to do with him. His destiny is to be an idle prince and serve as a subject of others.

But this is not what he wants, nor is it what he is after.He spent his entire life trying to be courteous and obedient in front of Ming Shengdi every day, and tried his best in front of many princes, in order to prove to the world that as long as he has a plan and a heart, even a concubine prince like him can still be a prince. king.

"Yes...you're right..."

Xia Bin suddenly let out a few suppressed laughs, gurgling in his throat, and transformed into a loud laugh, which rang through the room, quite penetrating.

"Yes... I can't wait any longer, and I don't want to wait any longer! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I must take advantage of this opportunity to clean up all the stumbling blocks on the road!"

His crazy smile became deeper and deeper, and the fat on his wide and fat cheeks kept trembling along with the arc of the laugh, which was both funny and ridiculous, and more of an ugliness that was dazzled by desire and greed.

The screen jumped back to the frontier battlefield again.

At this time, there were only three hours left before the time limit agreed between the Huns and the Dalai people.Huang Chenyan and the others discussed all night in the brightly lit camp, their eyes were red from the heat, but they dared not relax in the slightest.

Although they already have the talismans of the five cities in their hands, they still can't really hand over these things, otherwise even if they rescued General Jingwu from the hands of the Huns, after returning to the imperial city of Shangjing, Jingwu The general and Huang Chenyan's father and daughter can't escape the serious crime, even the soldiers including the frontier can't escape the verdict of Ming Shengdi.

That day, the sun gradually set on the western mountain, and there were bursts of brilliant golden sunset glow in the sky.Red and crimson are intermingled in the clouds, rolling and rolling in the sky, and finally, as the night falls, layers of ink are smudged.

Such a leisurely evening scene is in front of you, but no one is interested in appreciating it.

At this time in the frontier, everyone is reorganizing the army. The 1 elite soldiers brought from the Imperial City of Shangjing lost 3 soldiers under Xia Qin's wrong guidance when they left the station. At [-], plus some stragglers who were originally defending the frontier, there are nearly [-] people.

And now the [-] army will be ambushing inside and outside the pass in a very short period of time, in preparation for the battle with the Xiongnu army in three hours.

Although it is already spring, the frontier area is still a little bit cold. The cold wind has been circling around the place blocked by the south of the mountain for a long time, and it brings the moisture from the top of the mountain to people's faces, making people stand on the tower and take a deep breath. In one breath, I felt a little inexplicable sadness.

At this time, there was a touch of orange figure on the tower, her back straightened, her eyes looked far, far away, as if she was leading to another imaginary world through the extreme border.

In such a dark night, she suddenly let out a very light sigh, wrapped in many indescribable sorrow and sighs.

Suddenly, there was a gust of warm wind behind Huang Chenyan, and a thick fur coat was placed on her back with one hand.

"The hour is approaching, does Chen Yan remember his father?"

Huang Chenyan nodded, pulled Xia Zijin's fur coat tighter on her body, pursed her lips and said, "It's a little unbelievable, I never thought that my father is still alive in this world, and I never thought What kind of life did he live in the hands of the Huns during the more than ten years he left us? I don’t even dare to think about how tortured he has been in the past ten years. If it weren’t for the Huns People enlisted their father to the front of the battle, and no one even knew that the Jingwu general who was once famous in the town never left them..."

The howling wind on the city wall blew Huang Chenyan's words far away, spreading them in a circle on the vast territory, and she suddenly choked up a little in her hand holding Xia Zijin.

"Princess, what do you think I should do if I can't save my father this time... As my father's daughter, I haven't fulfilled my filial piety for a day. Now that the enemy army is in the front and can't guarantee to save my father, I can only rely on hope." If we win, everyone will be happy, but if we miss, then father will never be able to return to Shangjing, to the general's mansion where he and his mother once worked hand in hand."

Huang Chenyan at this time is undoubtedly fragile. Although she has always presented herself in front of everyone with a tenacious and unyielding attitude, in the final analysis she is just a little girl who is not yet in her twenties.

At this age, some people still live without worries under the care of their families, but some people have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Mount Tai. Is it unfair or is everything fate?
Xia Zijin patted Huang Chenyan on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Don't think too much, the matter will be resolved soon. Although the Huns are fierce and good at fighting, these days you are leading the three armies and commanding the soldiers of Dalai. Beat them to pieces."

"Since the Huns have shown their important hole card, General Jingwu, it means that these Huns must be at the end of their rope, and they want to rely on the last chip to get back. How can we say that there are still [-] Dajun, what are you afraid of him doing?"

Now that we have reached the critical moment of the matter, we can only wait for the final result, and it is futile to worry in vain.Huang Chenyan still frowned tightly, although his heart was still not calm, he nodded lightly.

Just at this time, the familiar sound of the horn sounded from several tens of feet away under the city wall, accompanied by dots of orange as bright as fireflies, and quickly moved towards the city gate.

"They're here..." Huang Chenyan murmured, and looked at Xia Zijin with vigilance.

Dalai's army assembled in a very short time, except for the dark army who had ambushed earlier in the morning, the rest followed Huang Chenyan to the front of the battle.

But after a while, the Huns army arrived in front of everyone.I saw Hu Erhe sitting upright on the horse, holding a square halberd in his hand, pointing at the gate of the city.

He laughed arrogantly twice, raised his head and asked, "The two-day period has come, how are you thinking about it? Are you going to protect your Jingwu General or the city?"

His sharp eyes scanned the crowd, with a strong sense of scrutiny, and finally fell on Huang Chenyan.

Huang Chenyan didn't respond immediately, but just asked, "Where is my father?"

Huerhe said with a smile: "Before the decision is made, we Huns will naturally not go back and touch General Jingwu, so you can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, Huerhe raised his hand and gestured behind him, and immediately a soldier pushed the prison cart that was imprisoning General Jingwu to the front of the formation.

Although the general Jingwu in the prison car was still thin and haggard, his mental state seemed to be much better than before.

Seeing that General Jingwu was safe and sound, Huang Chenyan let go of a stone hanging in his heart, and murmured in a low voice: "Father, wait a little longer, my daughter will rescue you immediately."

"Okay, now you have seen him, and the time is just right. Whether you want to protect him or not, show your sincerity!"

Huang Chenyan and Xia Zijin looked at each other, Xia Zijin nodded in understanding immediately, and turned to look at Xia Shengqing beside him.

Xia Shengqing reached into the skirt of his clothes, took out a delicately carved wooden top box from his bosom, flipped off the buckle with a snap, and took out the tokens that represented the ownership rights of the five cities inside.
