Most of Lin Yanhong's understanding of Prince Qi's son came from Li Jingcheng.

Many years ago, His Majesty ordered Wang Shizi to go to Beijing to accompany the Queen Mother to fulfill his filial piety on the grounds of dreaming of the late emperor. Since then, Tianjing has formed a pattern of using Wang Shizi as a hostage to contain the border kings.

Later, because Princess Yu was pregnant, Jingzhong released Prince Yu's son Li Jingcheng to return to Pingwu to stay with his mother.

In his later years, the first emperor was quite hesitant about establishing a crown prince, which led to the seven kings fighting openly and secretly for ten years or even longer.

After the death of the first emperor, the new emperor succeeded. In the winter of the same year, King You and King Su died. In the spring of the second year, King An and King Rui were exiled to the southwest, lingering in the harsh environment surrounded by smog, and died in Huangquan after a short time.

Among the people who had the same qualifications to inherit the Datong as Liang Emperor Li Qixi at the beginning, only King Jing and King Qi who were relatively middle in strength, but now they have become the overlords of one side, Li Qixi's brother Yu Wang, and the others have nothing to do with themselves. The high-hanging idle prince Hui Wang.

They respectively lead the Chongming Army, Xichang Army, Northern Border Army and Zhenyuan Army to guard the borders of the four directions, and have great power and prestige in their respective fiefdoms.

Such a situation had already been foreseen when the kings left the capital, no matter how reluctant Liang Emperor Li Qixi was, he couldn't.

The border must be guarded by the royal family. The first emperor left a will, and he could not disobey it, let alone put Liang in danger. He could only "let the tiger go back to the mountain" and see them slowly grow bigger.

The only benefit for the kings to leave the capital is probably that within three generations they will lose their soul power and degenerate into ordinary people.

This is why the kings were dissatisfied with the prince's entry to Beijing, but they all compromised in the end.

King Qi's son, Li Jingxuan, is the only son of King Qi who has a soul, and since the other son who has the power of soul is disabled, King Qi naturally values ​​his son the most.

When Emperor Liang Li Qixi got older and the imperial power changed, the new emperor ordered the prince's son to return to the fief and inherit the throne of King Qi. It will continue to multiply under the control of King Qi's lineage.

It's a pity that all these beautiful dreams were shattered with the sudden death of Prince Qi's son.

Lin Yanhong was still confused about the reason for King Qi's rebellion at the beginning, but after listening to the words of the chief of the palace, Shi, he finally thought clearly.

If you don't do anything, then the ending that Prince Qi's Mansion will face is exactly the same as the situation that Prince Yu's Mansion faced back then.

An heir without a soul can't guard the border. Emperor Liang will definitely confer his own son to the Western Regions, and then confer the king of Qijun elsewhere like Fengzhe County King.

In this way, within a few generations, except for the thin royal blood, the descendants of King Qi's lineage are no different from ordinary people.

This is an unspeakable pain for the prince who was once one step away from the throne.

King Yu got a youngest son with the power of soul manifestation, but King Qi didn't know whether he could have such an offspring again. Coupled with the struggle for the throne in the early years, the pain of losing his son now, and the new and old hatreds... together...

Therefore, King Qi decided to take advantage of the time when Emperor Liang was seriously ill and the political situation in central Beijing was unstable, to rebel and make a last-ditch effort.

"But in this way, Xicang won't..." Hearing the words, the inner officer couldn't help exclaiming, and quickly covered his mouth, staring at Wangfu Chief Shi in disbelief.

Since King Qi raised his troops, he must use all his troops in Xicang to fight hard.

Without the prince to guard him and the army to protect him, maybe it won't be long before Xicang will become a purgatory on earth!

Shi, the head of Prince Yu's mansion, was also very confused when he received the news from the shadow guard. He continued: "King Qi left the third son and some people on the border of Xicang, so there is no chaos in Xicang now."

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard the words——under such circumstances, King Qi even made an arrangement for Xicang's "consideration"?

The internal official didn't know what he was thinking of, and he forgot to be afraid in his anxiety, and immediately stepped forward and said to King Yu: "Your Highness, you can't hesitate anymore, please lead troops into King Jingqin immediately!"

Li Qiyu looked at him deeply, but didn't express his opinion immediately, which made the internal officials terrified.

——Could it be that King Yu also felt disobedient when he saw that Xicang had rebelled? !

It's a pity that he didn't have this opportunity to participate in the discussions in Prince Yu's Mansion. After learning about the situation in Xicang, Li Qiyu didn't bother to say anything more to the eunuch from Tianjing.

……

When only his own people were left in the hall, Li Qiyu opened his mouth and said: "Jing Cheng already possesses the soul of the ancestor who has completed the body, so he should be able to go to Xicang alone."

It's just that everyone present knows what a difficult choice is in front of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Once Xicang is in danger, a huge gap will be opened to attract demons to invade the country. If Prince Yu's son leads troops to the Western Regions, it may be possible to solve the urgent need for Xicang to be destroyed.

But in this way, King Yu could not leave the northern border, Li Jingcheng went to Xicang again, and Pingwu no longer had a commander who could lead his troops south to King Qin.

On the contrary, if you choose to enter King Qin immediately, it is tantamount to sending the people of Xicang to the mouth of demons. At that time, the whole Western Region will be devastated. Even if King Qi is finally defeated and punished, the court will not be able to bear the pain of severed wrists.

What's more, the Western Regions and the Northern Territory are connected, and when the Western Regions fall, it will inevitably affect the Northern Territory as soon as possible. There are internal and external troubles, and the Northern Territory will not be stable.

Dividing troops is one method, but it also increases the risk.

Guarding Nanling, supporting Xicang, King Qin of Jingzhong... Once the northern border army is divided into three parts, its strength will be greatly reduced. If three sides are in danger because of this, it will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanhong said in a solemn tone, "Nowadays, I'm afraid we still have to consider Nanchong's movements."

King Yu nodded, Li Jingcheng looked at Lin Yanhong, they all knew what Lin Yanhong meant.

Xicang suddenly turned against him, but the disobedience of King Qi and King Jing didn't just happen now.

This kind of unwillingness and dissatisfaction had already taken root in their hearts when they lost to Li Qixi, who joined forces with their brothers.

King Qi raised his army in anger because of the death of his son, but King Jing may not have the possibility of raising an army.

He could even take the opportunity to attack the imperial city in the name of King Jingqin, and then, like the new emperor of Yongzhou, bloodbath the imperial city and replace it.

King Hui, who was also facing difficulties, was "cowardly". Based on Li Qiyu's understanding of him, he guessed that he might rather let the Zhenyuan Army guard the southern border than "dare" to join the ranks of the Communist Party.

Anyway, the Zhenyuan Army is helping to guard the southern border... If Nanchong has such a plan, he will be more determined to rebel.

"What if Nanchong also commits rebellion in the name of King Jingqin?"

Lin Yanhong is not King Yu, he doesn't know how the most honorable prince of Liangzhou should make a choice in the current situation.

After an unknown period of time, the silence was finally broken, and Li Qiyu said to the eldest son, "Get ready and lead your troops to Xicang immediately."

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Jingcheng cupped his hands and responded, "Yes, father."

When Lin Yanhong heard the words, he knew that King Yu had made a decision.

Now, the person who is sick in Beijing for a long time is Li Qiyu's own brother. When the seven kings were fighting for the heir, they joined hands and shared weal and woe, and finally helped Li Qixi ascend to the throne.

Whether it is brothers or monarchs and ministers, no matter what happens later, the friendship between them is always deep.

Giving up on entering Jingqin King is tantamount to giving up on his brother - making such a choice is absolutely uncomfortable for Li Qiyu.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to let the entire Xicang people be killed.

——It’s just, whether it’s giving up to the king or giving up to the people is the disgrace of the world, I’m afraid only later generations can comment.

"Go to Xicang first, and pay attention to the movements in Beijing at any time. If... then divide the troops."

King Yu turned to look at Lin Yanhong: "You also pack up quickly, go to Xicang with Jing Cheng, and leave some people in the Governor's Mansion, so as not to mess up."

Like Li Jingcheng, Lin Yanhong responded immediately.

King Qi rebelled, and most of the officials sent by Beijing to Xicang have been killed by now, and in the best case, they have been placed under house arrest.

In short, Xicang's government affairs are probably in disarray. At this time, it is not enough to go to the border to support it. It is necessary to help Xicang restore civil administration as soon as possible in order to ensure stability.

Now that the Northern Territory has been united, the most urgent task is to let the capable officials go to Xicang. In Li Qiyu's view, the most trustworthy person is of course Lin Yanhong.

……

It was not easy for King Yu to return to Pingwu, they quickly arranged the next thing, Li Qiyu even left the palace faster than them and returned to Nanling.

Li Jingcheng quickly ordered and took Lin Yanhong to Xicang together. They would take the first step in order to control the civil affairs of Xicang as soon as possible.

In order to hurry, it is natural to take "extraordinary measures". This is also the first time Lin Yanhong has personally experienced what it feels like to "walk from the sky".

Facing such a huge monster, Lin Yanhong was no longer afraid to even look at it as he was at the beginning.

He killed a monster in the paddock in the suburbs of Beijing, and then "missed" with them in Qudu. Lin Yanhong guessed that the return of his ancestors had a certain influence on the monster.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Yanhong got close to the dog-shaped monster with wings, it immediately showed its terrifying fangs, but it paced around in place, quite anxious.

Some of the shadow guards knew that Li Jingcheng was the return soul of their ancestors, but some of them didn't. But they were well-trained, and they were never too curious about things that they shouldn't pay attention to.

Since His Royal Highness King Yu asked Shizi to use the Demon Suppressing Team, it means that Shizi has the power of soul manifestation. As for why he hides it from the outside world, it has nothing to do with their mission.

Because Li Jingcheng was present, they didn't realize that the person who caused the demons to panic was actually Lin Changshi.

They were all his father's king or his own shadow guards, so there was no need to avoid suspicion. Li Jingcheng and Lin Yanhong rode together, and no one expressed surprise along the way.

They quickly rushed to Xicang, and first circled around the border for a while, and found that there was no King Qi guarding here, and the demons really became rampant.

The prince who was left in Xicang by King Qi had an eye disease, and he still possessed the power of soul manifestation to some extent, but he didn't know how long he could last with a small amount of troops alone based on the scale of the demon's increase.

"Since King Qi left him at the border, it means that the third son has probably been given up. Even if he is taken hostage, there is no way to achieve the effect."
