Princess Min Ruoxi of Zhaohua put the steaming delicate porcelain cup in her hand on the mahogany table in front of her, her long eyelashes blinked, and she looked at Guo Ziling who was sitting on the side, "Old Guo, what is the chance of winning this battle of the Western Frontier Army?" ”

Guo Jiuling smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness the princess don't worry, this battle will be foolproof, I'm afraid that now Xiqin is still complacent that they have their mole at the top of our dynasty, and the information that this mole has sent back so far is true and credible." I'm afraid they never imagined that this person has already been captured by us. This time, once the western border army wins, the second prince will inevitably rise in momentum, and now the eastern border army of His Royal Highness the prince has suffered defeats in the confrontation with the Eastern Qi, and if the western border army wins this time, the two will be compared, and the judgment will be made! Presumably, the balance in the king's heart is about to tilt a little towards the second prince. ”

Listening to Guo Jiuling's words, Min Ruoxi's brows were furrowed, and a pair of good-looking Danfeng eyes flashed with disgust, the eldest brother of the prince Min Ruocheng, the second brother Min Ruoying, the competition over the years has become more and more intense, above the court, the Wenchen who supports the eldest brother of the prince has the upper hand, but in the army, it is the second brother Min Ruoying who is more powerful. Moreover, the emperor's pro-army like Neiwei now has an obvious tendency.

The prince's elder brother is a literati, elegant and dignified, unlike the second brother, who has been both civil and military since he was a child, but he is heroic and willful, and he is deeply liked by the generals in the army.

The two elder brothers competed, but it made it difficult for Min Ruoxi, who was sandwiched in the middle, to be a man in South Vietnam, the royal Ding Buwang, although Min Ruoxi was a woman, but she was also going to come out to take charge, and the Jiying Palace in her hands was still full of talents, and it was the center of the Southern Chu court to control the rivers and lakes. Princess Min Ruoxi of Zhaohua has also practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her skills can be squeezed into the ranks of first-class masters.

"Princess, Weichen also knows your hardships, but in this battle for the throne, only one side can win, it is impossible for you to stand in the middle impartially, if you are just a princess, it is okay, but the Jiying Palace under your control is full of masters, and the control of the rivers and lakes is extremely tight, how can such a strength make the two princes turn a blind eye?" Guo Jiuling persuaded.

"It's all my brother!" Min Ruoxi sighed.

"Princess, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is a compatriot of your mother, so you are always closer to His Royal Highness the Prince!" Guo Jiuling lightly pointed out the subtle differences between the two princes and princesses.

"But the prince's brother has been kind to me since he was a child, and he takes care of me meticulously." Min Ruoxi was slightly confused, "How can I be sorry for him?" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Weichen also knows your difficulties, but deep down in your heart, I am afraid that I still favor some second princes, otherwise, this time you will not ask for an order to come to the western border army." Guo Jiuling chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that now, the big prince's think tanks have listed you as a target to deal with." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, I asked to leave Beijing this time, just to avoid the endless mutual tilting in Beijing, being in Beijing, even if you don't want to get involved, it's impossible, only by leaving, can you stay out of the matter." Min Ruoxi shook his head and sighed lightly.

"But the left commander of the Western Frontier Army has always supported the second prince with a clear banner." Guo Jiuling said with a smile.

Min Ruoxi was stunned for a long time, lowered her head, looked at the table in front of her, the heat that was still rising, the fragrance of the tea was permeated in the big tent, but her heart was bitter, deep in her heart, after all, she still favored some second brothers?

"Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to worry, this is also human nature." Guo Jiuling explained.

"Elder Guo, why did your internal guards also intervene in this battle for the throne, aren't you afraid that your father will know about it and condemn you and others?" Min Ruoxi changed the subject.

"In fact, it's just that Weichen supports the second prince, and Yang Jian, another deputy commander in the inner rank, is the iron core of the eldest prince. As for the Grand Commander, he only recognizes His Majesty. In fact, why doesn't Your Majesty know about the battle between the internal guards? With His Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, he naturally knows it in his heart, but His Majesty can tolerate all this. For His Majesty knows what kind of person must sit on that chair. Under the condition of not endangering the country, the fight between each other will make the two princes make a judgment. ”

"In order to elect such a person, is it necessary to kill each other?" Min Ruoxi shook her head slightly.

"Actually, Your Majesty is afraid that he has already made a conclusion in his heart." Guo Jiuling is confident. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in the throne for a long time, but the governing philosophy is increasingly inconsistent with His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is lenient, advocating that the country should be lenient and live in harmony with friends and neighbors, which is not anything wrong, but in terms of the world, it is by no means a blessing for the country, but His Royal Highness the Prince has rich wings and never makes mistakes, even if His Majesty wants to change people, there is no excuse, but if the second prince leads this war and wins the southern territory of Western Qin, His Majesty will have an excuse to promote the discussion of Yi Chu."

"What's wrong with Big Brother's political thoughts?"

"Your Royal Highness Princess, in today's world, the four strong confrontations, Southern Chu, Western Qin, and North Vietnam are similar in strength, and the Eastern Qi, which inherited most of the territory of the original Tang Dynasty, is the most powerful, and the three kingdoms of Chu, Qin, and Yue are all exhausted, while confronting the Eastern Qi, while calculating each other, they all want to expand their strength, and what the Emperor of the Eastern Qi thinks about every day is to restore the overall situation of the Tang Dynasty dominating the world in the past. What Great Chu needs is an ambitious emperor, a British lord who can lead Great Chu to conquer the south and the north and dominate the world. ”

"It's also an opportunity for your military to make contributions and pay homage to the prime minister, isn't it?" Min Ruoxi said sarcastically.

"Yes." Guo Jiuling said without shyness: "A soldier, what he desires is to make contributions on the battlefield, so the second prince has a strong foundation in the army. Everyone is looking forward to following the second prince to achieve a heroic career. ”

"Once the hero draws his sword, it will be ten years of calamity, and the world will not be peaceful for a few years?" Min Ruoxi's eyes were full of unbearable color.

"Her Royal Highness Princess, this is the general trend, if we don't keep up with the general trend, we will inevitably be swept into the dust of history by the autumn wind, how powerful the Tang Dynasty was, but once it loses its enterprising heart, it will eventually end up dead and the country will be destroyed, the temple is not guaranteed, and the lessons from the past can be repeated, the battle of the country, if you don't advance, you will die." Guo Jiuling said indifferently. "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are a member of the Great Chu royal family, since you were born, you have been burdened with obligations that you can't get rid of, if you don't listen to anything, the country will be destroyed, like Weichen, or there is another way to go, and you, what can you do?

"For more than a hundred years in the Eastern Qi royal family, there is still an organization that is constantly pursuing and killing those Li clan people who are outcast, is this necessary? In a hundred years, the Li family has long disappeared, even if there are still remnants, it has long been impossible to become a climate, although the Cao family has won the big position, but the narrow-mindedness is so narrow, it is a pity, sad! ”

"Your Royal Highness, this is related to a rumor, when the founding emperor of the Li family, Li Qing, was wise and martial, invincible in the world, with bare hands, in just a few years of time, he was famous all over the world, and in less than forty years, he pacified the world and built the Tang Empire that has been inherited for thousands of years, and the origin of this emperor has always been a secret. The Emperor himself is like a man who suddenly fell from the sky. Legend has it that the royal family of the Tang Empire has left a posthumous scroll, saying that after a thousand years, the emperor will be reincarnated and reborn, and the reincarnated person will also be the children of the Li family, Cao Wending was a major minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the relationship with the Tang royal family is intertwined, there are many marriages, presumably this rumor is also known, all along, the world has thought that this is just a false rumor, but Cao Wending after the successful usurpation, not only vigorously chased and killed the Li clan people who were outcast, but even among their own clan, there are Li bloodline children will never let go, killed one cleanly, which made others believe that this was not a rumor, otherwise Cao Wending would not have killed his own people. You must know that there was a branch of Cao Wending's lineage that was killed back then, just because this tribe married to the Tang royal family, and it has the blood of the Tang royal family. Guo Jiuling sighed: "Her Royal Highness the princess is also a person who reads through history books, if there is really a character like Emperor Li Qing in this world, dare to ask the world, who can stop it?" ”

"The Li Tang royal family has been inherited for thousands of years, and there are so many children, how can they be killed?" Min Ruoxi shook his head and said.

"If you kill one more, you will have one less possibility." Guo Jiuling said: "In fact, not only the Cao clan of Eastern Qi, but also the other three countries, once the people of the Li clan are discovered, they will not be killed immediately, and no one wants that rumor to become a reality." It's just that everyone is not like Dongqi, so solemnly and has set up a special institution. ”

"One person's remaining power, after a thousand years, can still deter the world like this, Emperor Li Qing, it is really admirable, hateful Min Ruoxi was born a thousand years later, and he is not blessed to see this person's face!" Min Ruoxi said regretfully.

"Even if it is an emperor through the ages, it can't make future generations last, and now because of its might, it will bring endless disasters to future generations, I don't know if Emperor Li Qing has a know, how should he feel!" Guo Jiuling smiled: "People die like lights going out, after all, they only care about the front of them, and they can't see behind them." ”
