Famous all over the world

Jiang Yuan always answers questions, and he said without hesitation: "Although His Highness is impulsive, he may not be malicious." After a pause, he continued, "A Yuan thinks that he is somewhat similar to A Yan."

After she said it, Jiang She also felt that it was true.Impatience, recklessness, but absolutely no bad intentions, isn't this the perfect portrayal of Jiang Yan?In this way, Jiang Yuan didn't have much prejudice against King Yong, and he treated him as if he were someone else, so it was no wonder that King Yong gave her a high look.

She was already a little hesitant, but now she was even more undecided. This hesitation must have been revealed in her expression, which made Jiang Yuan, who seldom asked questions, look at his words, but said one more question: "Why did the major general ask me like this?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just a sudden feeling that the lord doesn't seem to be that ridiculous." Jiang She sighed slightly, "Also... the lord wants to keep you as his entourage."

Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, and unknowingly straightened his back, but his eyes slightly turned away from looking at her, "Ah Yuan is at the command of the major general."

Her voice was calm, as if she had expected what was in her question.Of course, it is not difficult to guess, based on their tacit understanding for many years, if she refused outright, she would not have such a probing tone.

Jiang She felt deeply ashamed.She knew that as long as she wanted her to stay, she would have nothing to say.But she was eager to escape from this smoky capital, how could she bear to leave her alone?She can be wronged for this country, but how can she make Jiang Yuan feel wronged for a day?

The little prince's eyes are high above the top, and Jin Yang can't always persuade him to live, let alone listen to her words, even if he is willing to listen, how can Jiang Yuan understand those intrigues?Besides, if she is really a man, that's all right, but she is a daughter, and after a long time, how can she get a foothold?What's more, the emperor's mind, even if he appreciates it now, may not be allowed to match him in the future.People's hearts are changeable, can they really be the same?

Is it because she thinks too easily, if this country is destined to collapse, how can one person alone be able to turn the tide?So she finally shook her head, and said in an understatement tone: "Then I will decline for you, we have to endure the sandstorm in Mobei together."

Jiang Yuan responded in a low voice, raised his head and smiled at her, "Yes, it's all according to the orders of the major general."

Jiang She also smiled at her, but couldn't help sighing softly in his heart.

The next day she took Jiang Yuan to the military department to wait as usual. The battle situation on the front line has always been reported once every three days and every five days. between days.She was really impatient, especially wanting to know as soon as possible, but she didn't wait until the evening that day, so she became more and more anxious.However, the road was rough and the road was rough, so it was not uncommon to miss a day, so she had to temporarily suppress her uneasiness and go back with Jiang Yuan, but the next day she got up early and waited for a whole day, but there was still no news.

The clerk of the Ministry of War was still trying to persuade her to feel at ease, saying that after a great victory, there would be many trivial matters, and General Shi didn't have time to express it for a while.

Jiang She couldn't be completely convinced, so he thanked him calmly for his kindness, and when he returned to the mansion, he found out the old Japanese military newspaper and the map of Yuzhou, and studied it carefully by candlelight.After comparing it over and over for a long time, I didn't find anything wrong. I finally thought that I was suspicious, so I relaxed a little, and my eyes fell on one place inadvertently. A thought flashed by, and I suddenly trembled. I hurriedly found the previous few copies. It proves that the more you look at it, the heavier your heart will be.

Jiang Yuan saw that she was not looking well, so he stopped to look, and called the major general in an inquiring manner.

Jiang She pushed the military books to her, and Jiang Yuan glanced through them hastily, but still couldn't figure it out, so he raised his head and looked at her suspiciously.Jiang She took a deep breath, pointed to her and said: "Since the beginning of the war, our army has won many victories and has unparalleled morale. If we want to attack Luoyang in one go, it is not impossible. But if we attack by force, the siege equipment is useless. It would take time to transfer from another place, so I had no choice but to lure him out of the city. If I could lure him out of the city, that would be fine. I'm afraid that he would not fight me with a strong wall, but instead attack me with light cavalry. I have food, and if I die for a long time and are hungry, once the morale of the army is scattered, there will be an opportunity to take advantage of."

Jiang Yuan said solemnly: "But it's only been a few days, the situation is unclear, and the city is still a bunch of mobs. In a hurry, there may not be such ideas, and the major general doesn't need to worry too much."

"It's not necessarily true, but everything is just in case. It's not a coincidence that I'm most afraid that the equipment is in disrepair. If there are experts over there... You know, Yuan, that General Shi is commanding soldiers from several states, and they are not monolithic at all. After winning for a long time, it is unavoidable to underestimate the enemy, but there is a fight against the enemy alone, if you really suffer a defeat, the outcome will be unpredictable." All her deduction before was based on one premise, then Even if there is fraud in it, a gang of mobs can't easily turn defeat into victory, but what if there are capable people?The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, she stood up abruptly, "No, I need to enter the palace immediately, please issue an urgent edict from Your Majesty."

Jiang Yuan stood up at the same time, "Major General, I'm afraid something is wrong."

Jiang She frowned slightly: "What?"

Jiang Yuan said: "Now that the time of Xu has passed, the gates of the palace have been closed early, the young general may not be able to see His Majesty, this is one; even if His Majesty is willing to see you, this alone may not be able to convince His Majesty to make an order, this is the second "Yuzhou is thousands of miles away, half a day away, there will be no too much delay, this is the third. Therefore, A Yuan thinks that it will be the same when entering the palace tomorrow morning."

Jiang She looked at her for a moment, then sighed unconsciously.She naturally understood that what she said was justified, it was just a small loophole in the eyes of others, but she made such a big move and disturbed the confinement in the middle of the night, if it turns out to be unfounded worries in the future, it will inevitably cause criticism.It didn't matter, she knew what she meant, the battle started early and the military report was delayed, if there was any hindrance, it might be too late.But she really couldn't help but gamble on that eventuality, "It's okay, anyway, I have already been plagued by strange diseases, and it is not unusual to do such behavior." Slightly sighed, "I hope there is still time."

Jiang Yuan stopped talking, only helped her change her robe, and silently found the palace card and handed it to her.

Jiang She smiled at her, took it and put it in his arms, and hurried to the layman.

Since the battle in Yuzhou, there has been a curfew in central Beijing, and the hustle and bustle of the past is long gone. She is the only one riding alone in the empty streets, and she is stopped by the patrolling Jingdu guards after a while.Fortunately, the leader was Xu Su's former colleague Zhou Lie, who quickly let her pass and sent her off, but she was still stopped by the guards when she arrived at the palace gate. After checking her waist card and notifying her, it was Cheng Yao greeted him personally.

The general had a serious black face, but he couldn't hide his tiredness in his manner. He saluted her and said hastily: "Your Majesty has made a decree that no one will be seen tonight. Please go back, Major General."

Although Jiang She felt that there was a difference, how could he back down immediately, and insisted: "It is related to the battle situation in Yuzhou, and I also ask General Cheng to report on his behalf."

Cheng Yao shook his head and said: "Even if the sky falls, His Majesty will not see you at this moment..." His voice gradually became weaker, and finally he sighed again, "Young General, please go back."

Jiang She's heart skipped a beat, he raised his eyes and saw his solemn expression, and knew instantly that there was a change in the palace.

And the sky is collapsing, what can be the reason?

Her expression gradually became serious, and she could not say anything more, after thanking her, she turned around and left.

Sure enough, a decree came from the Tianming Palace. On the [-]th day of this month at Xushi, the Crown Prince passed away, and the court was abolished on the [-]th day. All officials and ministers did not offer sacrifices or fulfill their vows, but wore plain clothes to mourn for the world.

In fact, the crown prince has been plagued by serious illnesses for a long time, and the doctors are helpless. Even Xiaozhulin's prescriptions are no longer effective, that is, some innocuous tonics are used to hang his life. Everyone knows that the days are passing by. Only in the morning and evening, now once the illness dies, the Ministry of Rites will make arrangements step by step.

However, the queen mother instructed Du Guozhang to ask for a lively scene, but Emperor Zhaoning uncharacteristically wanted to keep it simple according to the prince's wish. With no compromise, the queen mother lifted the curtain and came out in front of the chief officials of the Ministry of Rites. In the end, Zheng Wen came to ask Jiang Dushi to come and reason.Afterwards, they fought several times because of chanting scriptures and building altars, all of which became the secret laughing stock of the people. There were even nursery rhymes such as "faint or not, sleep in the ground; blind, sit in the bright hall" and other nursery rhymes were sung in private. The order was reprimanded, and the source was searched, which also caused many public cases.

It's just that this absurd farce doesn't mean much to Jiang She. She is indeed sad for the prince, but she is even more worried about the war situation.

It has been twelve days since there was no news from Yuzhou.

Although her worry was finally passed on by the Ministry of War, it was delayed for a few days after all. Besides, she always felt that it was too late. Even though she was so anxious, she couldn't visit the place in person after all. She could only spend all her spare time studying Luoyang For the situation, look over the military reports and documents over the years one by one.She was still looking through books and newspapers that day, when someone from Jiang Yong came to report, saying that it was someone from Jiuyou who had urgent matters to see.

Since she came from thousands of miles away, she couldn't ignore it, so she had to put aside what she was doing for the time being and go out to meet guests. When she saw the two teenagers sitting and standing in the hall looking tired, her heart skipped a beat.She recognized them as Jiuyou's disciples who followed Jiang Ting to the north to announce the good news, one Shi Zhan and one Geng Yi, they should be in Liangzhou at this moment, how could they return to the capital alone?

That Geng Yiben was pacing anxiously, and when he saw her, he came forward to meet her, and first called Brother Jiang, but he didn't say anything.He used to be quick to talk, but now he opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't say anything important, he just tossed and turned, thinking about big things is not good.

Jiang She became more and more uneasy, so he went to see Shi Zhan, who was more mature and prudent.

Shi Zhan also put down his teacup and got up, and after going forward to meet each other, he said, "Brother Jiang, something happened in Liangzhou. On the eighteenth day of this month, Mobei suddenly sent troops to surround Liangzhou City, threatening to capture You And the two states want us to open the door and surrender. Brother Jiang Yan said that the leader of the army is called Aruna, who is from Mobei, and there is another one named Li Wancheng, who is a lieutenant of the imperial court. He said that he wanted to get rid of the treacherous and sycophant Qingjun. Brother Jiang asked me to come to Beijing to report the letter, and there are two other roads to Zhuozhou and Zongyang to ask for help. Brother, I want the Major General to rest assured that he will stand by and wait for help with Brother Jiang Yan."

Jiang She nodded slightly while listening, and while he was making quick calculations, he suddenly realized that he hadn't mentioned a single word about Jiang Qi in the whole story. I have already learned that the old general must also have this performance, and I will present it to His Majesty as soon as possible..."

Shi Zhan glanced at her when he heard the words, his long eyebrows were furrowed, sympathy suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his voice also slowed down: "Brother Jiang, please express my condolences, old general...Old general, died at ten Passed away on the [-]th."
