It is said that since the empress died in the Kunning Palace, Emperor Yongqing tried his best to manage the funeral. Everything in the harem was orderly, but the officialdom suddenly set off turbulent waves.

When Empress Daxing died for a hundred days, the king of Xining County went to Shangshu to ask her to return, leaving her son to continue guarding Xiping County.After receiving the letter, Emperor Yongqing summoned the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Prime Minister to gather for a meeting. Liu Zhongxun, a scholar of the University, and Huang Ting, Minister of the Ministry of Households, thought that it could be approved. For the benefit of the country, it is necessary to plan for a rainy day and formulate a plan for abolition.

Since □□, this dynasty has rewarded four kings with different surnames for the administration of various feudal towns for their support.Only the father and son of King Beijing were killed, and no one seized the title. Only one daughter was married to the first eldest son and changed her national surname, that is, she was stationed as a substitute leader.Until it was inherited to the Shui Rong generation, because the parents died young, Nian was young and frail, and the elders doted on him, so the whole family moved to Beijing.

Among the four kings, the king of Xining County has been in Qingtang City for a long time, and his power is deeply rooted.In the early years of Emperor Taizong, there were many bandits in Xiping, and the king of Xining was so brave in suppressing the bandits that he won the favor of the emperor and allowed him to do things cheaply. As a result, the governors of the two neighboring provinces were restrained and could control local taxes and soldiers.

Emperor Yongqing thought again and again, and asked the king of Xining County to return, but refused his son to stay behind. He ordered all affairs in the Northwest to be handed over immediately, and ordered to be handed over to the Governor of Shaanxi and Gansu for management.

Huo Dali, the king of Xining County, was shocked to learn of the emperor's order, and was stunned.Discuss with his son Huo Fan, secretly deploy confidantes, gather troops, requisition and dispatch food, and block news from the northwest.

In December of that year, the king of Xining County killed the governor of Gansu who came to promulgate the decree for no reason, and started a rebellion.The rebel army marched into Shaanxi from Xining Prefecture, occupied Gansu Province in November of the following year, and then occupied Fengxiang Prefecture and Hanzhong Prefecture. The war gradually spread to Sichuan and Shaanxi.

Emperor Yongqing was furious when he heard the news in the capital, and ordered Prince Su Shuize to send his troops out of Henan Mansion and cross westward to beat him directly.Unexpectedly, the king of Xining County sent people to lobby earlier, promising that after the event is completed, the world will be divided equally, and he will support Shuize as the new emperor, so Prince Su rebelled against the local area.

Since then, the king of Xining County pretended that Emperor Yongqing was unjust and unsupportive, and his virtue was lacking. The government is the boundary, forming a confrontation with Wang Tingjun.

When the inner court heard about the change, there was an uproar in all directions, and it was inevitable that some people's hearts would fluctuate.

On this day, for Emperor Yongqing's imperial conquest, the ministers who discussed affairs saw the same thing, Fu Guogong, Liu Zhongxun, Huang Ting and others all tried their best to dissuade, in exchange for the emperor's repeated sneers: "I saw that one or two of you won the battle. It looks like a black-eyed chicken, but now there is a unified front to stop it, could it be that you feel that you have no power to restrain the chicken?"

All the ministers looked at each other pale, with embarrassment that could not be concealed on their faces.Although the dynasty was proficient in horses and had the same requirements for the prince, Emperor Yongqing's riding and shooting skills were mediocre and he had no experience. Once a personal expedition could boost morale, the soldiers would always have their hands tied to ensure safety.

It's just that no matter how good the reason is, it can't be admitted directly, so he can't help but glance at Lian Wang Shuilan out of the corner of his eye, to hear what he has to say.

However, unlike the previous abolition, Shui Lan remained silent. Instead, the King of Beijing bowed, and his voice was full of eager encouragement: "In ancient times, the emperor went out to fight, and with the weight of ten thousand times, the soldiers fought for death. Attack is sure to win. Therefore, I think that at this time when the rebellious ministers and thieves are raising troops, it is most suitable for your Majesty to personally attack."

Before the sentence was finished, Liu Zhongxun, a senior scholar, gave him a sidelong glance, and said with a sneer, "The king of Beijing County has never been out of Beijing since he was a child. These two sentences are quite light, but they are suspected of talking on paper. Besides, His Majesty, the king of Wanjin, Why put your body in danger, if something goes wrong, Chichen and others will die."

Hearing this, King Bei Jing coughed a little shyly, then pointed the spearhead at the jade seat again, and said disapprovingly: "Although Xiao Wang has little knowledge, Master Liu's words are too alarmist. Prince Su and Prince Xining are nothing but Gathering a group of young people, how can they be compared with the elite soldiers and generals of our army? What's more, your Majesty personally conquers, inherits the destiny of heaven, and obeys the hearts of the people, so there will be no disadvantages, so there is no difference?"

After hearing this, Duke Fu couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help snorting coldly: "After all, the king of Beijing County is young and vigorous, and he treats marching and fighting as a joke, which is an understatement."

King Beijing Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled, and mocked bluntly: "Why does Fu Guogong want to spoil his prestige by others? I almost forgot, after all, Mr. Liu and Fu Guogong are the same as Xiao Wang. They don't leave the capital. man."

As soon as the words fell, Duke Fu and the scholar were already trembling with anger, obviously restraining their anger.Emperor Yongqing looked down at the different expressions below, his eyes slid over the faces of King Beijing and Fu Guogong, and finally fell on Shui Lan, his voice became more kind, and he asked: "The emperor's uncle took command twice, What's your opinion on Yujia's personal conquest?"

The person who was nominated on the head cupped his hands and stepped out, maintaining his usual calm demeanor: "Since Your Majesty has asked, I dare to talk about it. It is a long journey to Xining, with yellow sand and strong winds all the way. Master Liu and Fu Guogong are worried about it." It is the body of His Majesty's Wancheng, and King Beijing is talking about encouraging the morale of the army. Both are reasonable. Although it is not the time of crisis, the rebels are ambitious and pressing every step of the way. A few days ago they lost Fengxiang and Hanzhong. In the land, people's hearts will inevitably be unstable, if His Majesty can take the lead, it will naturally boost morale, and I think it is feasible."

The faces of all the ministers changed slightly, but Emperor Yongqing stood up from the jade seat, and said without any refutation: "What the emperor said is true, and all the ministers obey the order: Qin Tianjian chooses an auspicious day, and he is determined to conquer Xining himself!"

What is even more surprising is that this time Emperor Yongqing's personal expedition to Xining did not bring the illustrious King Lian, but King Beijing with him, leaving King Lian and Duke Fuguo to supervise the country.

In this regard, Daiyu is very happy to hear and see.After all, in recent years, Shui Lan has spent most of his time fighting outside. The so-called sword has no eyes, and the female family members of that family are willing to live in fear?

It's just that Daiyu was also puzzled by Emperor Yongqing's arrangement, so she asked Shuilan for advice in her spare time: "Your Majesty, why did His Majesty not take you there when he personally went to Xining?"

Shui Lan didn't have any doubts, but he sneered slightly and said, "Compared with accompanying the conquest, when the imperial court has no crown prince, the candidates to oversee the country should be more cautious. After all, your Majesty's visit may be at least a few months, and more For more than a year, Daming Palace can't do without reliable people, so it has been carefully considered."

Daiyu thought for a while, and there was a smile of comprehension on her lips: "My lord did not stop the emperor's personal conquest this time, but made every effort to facilitate it. I should have seen through your majesty's intentions."

Shui Lan stretched out his hand and took Daiyu to sit on her lap, fiddled with her fingertips casually, and said with a relaxed tone: "Your Majesty still cares about the words of those thieves, and besides, he is still in the prime of life. I also have a full-hearted ambition to display my hegemony. Of course, I think that the imperial conquest will help improve the prestige in the army. The king of Beijing Jing is also right, but once the emperor goes out, he must win. Everyone will say, but if you really lose the battle, the reputation of His Majesty will be even more difficult to maintain."

Said, Shui Lan then pecked a mouthful of pink earlobe, in exchange for a low coquettish smile, pushed away the close chest with both hands, Daiyu deliberately said angrily: "The prince is very scheming, and I will take advantage of the convenience of supervising the country. It's more logical in the middle and lower levels. When the emperor returns, no matter how much he wins or loses, the prince will always have a contribution and stand in an invincible position."

April is the warm spring season, and the willows, fireworks, and mist outside the house are full of purples and reds, but in Shui Lan's eyes, no matter how bright the spring is, it is not as good as the smile of the person in front of him.However, when I saw Daiyu's gentle expression, I thought about what Li Taiyi said before, and my heart was filled with a little gloom, and the smile on my face faded: "Madam praised you, but it's just following your majesty's mind. As for Others are just small favors that I do casually, and I look forward to being able to use them one day."

But no one expected that Emperor Yongqing would return to the court ahead of schedule after only two months of expedition.

The battle was still going on, and the reason for returning to the court was that the emperor had caught a cold and had a high fever, so he had to come back due to the situation.

Emperor Yongqing was raised in the deep palace since he was a child, and he also walked in the study room when he was an adult. He was not in a strong body, but this time he marched for a while, and his illness was so serious that the imperial physicians did not dare to use medicine rashly.Even though the courtiers usually intrigue, but faced with the emperor's serious illness, they all clearly differentiated the priorities, searched everywhere to find medicines, and blocked the news in the capital by the way.

Among them, the most anxious ones are the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhen.Emperor Yongqing has no heirs. If there is any accident, their prosperity and wealth will be turned into clouds in a blink of an eye. If the capital is captured by rebellious officials and thieves again, they will really be crushed into flower mud before they can rest.Even if relying on King Lian and King Beijing to preside over the overall situation and repel the Xining rebels, the throne will definitely fall to others. It is obvious what will happen to their embarrassing identities.

Therefore, for this common benefit, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhen joined forces like never before, and took turns standing in front of Emperor Yongqing, for fear of any mishaps or accidents.

As for Emperor Yongqing's condition, the war in the previous dynasty was very tense, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down.
