Zhou Ting approached and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness, what she said is not unreasonable! Top! Click *! As far as I know, the fact that the barbarians sent troops this time was actually Feng Yuanpo's intention. The barbarians are good at fighting. Easy to kill, capricious, only because he was afraid of being beaten by Feng Yuanpo, he succumbed to Feng Yuanpo... Those barbarian chiefs are now in Wuping Prefecture. It was Feng Yuanpo who wanted to prevent the barbarians from getting out of control, so Put them under house arrest, and if Feng Yuanpo really escapes, the barbarians will probably still work together with him."

The prince nodded slightly, and asked softly, "Can this woman change the barbarian's mind?"

"Whether she can persuade the barbarians, I don't know." Zhou Ting said in a low voice: "But I think that keeping her for now may be of great use in the future. If General Xuanyuan takes down Feng Yuanpo, then Without Feng Yuanpo's deterrence, the barbarians are afraid that there will be troubles, but with her here, we can use her to negotiate with the barbarians, and as long as the strategy is right, we can take the barbarians for our own use." After a pause, He even said in a low voice: "The Holy Majesty passed away, the country cannot be without a king for a day, His Highness should inherit the great rule as soon as possible, and now is an extraordinary time, if the Queen Xuehua is really executed, people who don't-know-truth-truth, Instead, they will spread rumors behind their backs, saying that His Highness killed the concubine, which will always have a great impact on His Highness's reputation."

The crown prince said: "What Zhou Nayan said is very true." Looking up at Empress Xuehua, he said lightly: "Whether you will accompany the father to serve the emperor, we will talk about it later, if you can really persuade the barbarians to be loyal to the Great Qin, you can redeem your merit...!" Shen Sheng Said: "Come here, take Empress Xuehua to the west hall to rest, and send someone to protect her. Without my palace's order, no one can approach, and empress can't leave the west hall!"

Seeing the prince let go, Snow Flower Empress breathed a sigh of relief, her face turned pale, soldiers had already come up and led Snow Flower Empress to retreat.

After Empress Xuehua retreated, the prince said: "Many officials in Hexi are in Tiangong now, send someone to watch them first, so as not to cause chaos...Governor Yuan!"

Yuan Chongshang immediately stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your official is here!"

"Governor Yuan, you are from a military background. I order you to go to the guard station near Tiangong now, and cooperate with Chen Guo to march into Wuping Mansion immediately, so as to control Wuping Mansion in the shortest time. Feng Yuanpo and Hexi officials You have all come to Tiangong, Wuping Mansion must be very empty now, you must fight quickly." The prince looked stern, and said simply and neatly: "After taking Wuping Mansion, immediately take people to the Hexi Imperial Guard station. Polu's family is under the control of Shenyiwei, you can take advantage of this, find Feng Polu, and tell him that as long as he is loyal to the court, everything before this palace will be forgotten...!" Eyes turned cold, staring at Yuan Chongshang , "This matter is quite dangerous, but Governor Yuan has experienced many battles and was also the favorite general of his father. Now, Governor Yuan can only be asked to step forward. No matter what, he must seize the military power of the Hexi Imperial Guard."

Yuan Chongshang cupped his hands and said solemnly: "If you go through fire and water, you will do whatever you want. If you don't seize the military power, I will come and see you!" I went down to the official without hesitation, but...!"

"I'm guiding you." The prince said solemnly, "You mean the golden sword and tiger talisman?"

"Exactly." Yuan Chongshang cupped his hands and said, "The golden sword represents the emperor, and the tiger talisman can be used to adjust soldiers and horses. As long as there is a golden sword and tiger talisman, if anyone dares to make trouble, the minister can kill him on the spot!"

The crown prince turned to Zhou Ting, Zhou Ting frowned and said, "The Holy Majesty has four golden swords in total. Two of them are free from two killings. The golden sword of exempting from death can be used for capital punishment, and the golden sword of killing can be used to kill hundreds of officials. He has a death-preventing golden sword, and the remaining three, the lower officials don't know if the Holy Majesty brought it from Beijing... If the Tiger Talisman is as good as the Tiger Talisman, the Holy Majesty must have brought it with him...!"

"That's all for the golden sword, where are the tiger talisman and jade seal now?" the prince frowned.

"Feng Yuanpo used to come to the palace three times before, looking for the emperor to stamp the jade seal and order it...!" Zhou Ting frowned and said, "It's just that Feng Yuanpo found a puppet to pretend to be the emperor, but I don't know if the jade seal is also fake ...!"

At this moment, they heard the sound of footsteps. Everyone followed the sound and saw three people coming from the east, all of them were court ladies. Holding the jade plate, they were already kneeling on the ground before they approached, everyone was curious, the middle-aged maid said: "His Royal Highness, the Empress sent servants to bring some things, let us present them to His Highness! "

The prince pulled the mechanism of the wheelchair, the wheelchair turned, rolled over, stopped a few steps away, and asked with a frown, "What is it?"

The maid got up, but the prince saw that the two maids held a jade plate in their hands, and the jade plate was covered with a yellow brocade, but for a moment he couldn't see what was underneath.

The middle-aged maid said softly: "Present the things to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Two court ladies knelt on the ground and moved forward, raised their hands high, and presented them in front of the prince. The prince frowned, raised his hand and lifted a piece of brocade. It was a look of surprise, on the jade plate, there were two swords side by side, the color was golden, it was the token of the golden sword representing the authority of the emperor.

The golden sword is not used as a weapon, but a kind of token, but it is two fingers long, and it is exquisitely made. There are handwritings engraved on the body of the sword. One is the golden sword for avoiding death, and the other is exactly Kill the golden sword.

The prince immediately opened another brocade, on which suddenly placed the emperor's jade seal and half a tiger talisman.

The emperor is the emperor of the ninety-five years of the empire. The emperor established his country by force, so he was naturally cautious in controlling the army. The imperial guards, frontier army, guard army, state army, and various imperial guards all Formed into a system, the procedures for mobilizing troops and horses are quite complicated. It is a governor. In addition to the imperial guards under his command, if he wants to mobilize the state army or the guard army, once the strength exceeds 500, he needs the imperial court's order, otherwise It is equivalent to treason. Without the approval of the Ministry of War, no one dares to transfer troops easily.

Only the emperor can mobilize any army anytime and anywhere, and he only needs this half tiger talisman in his hand to mobilize troops.

The prince stretched out his hand and stroked the jade seal, and the maid said, "His Royal Highness, the Empress said that after the Majesty arrived in Hexi, these things were kept by the Majesty. Now that the Majesty passed away, these things are I will leave it all to His Highness the Crown Prince, and I only hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will make good use of it, so as not to disappoint His Majesty's expectations!"

The prince closed his eyes, the hand touching Yuxi trembled slightly, and asked, "What else can the queen say?"

"No."

"Then how is she now?" The prince slowly opened his eyes, "Are you surprised?"

"Madam Liuli is taking care of the queen. The queen's complexion is not good. Madam Liuli is preparing medicine for her." The maid said: "Madam Liuli, let Your Highness rest assured that state affairs are the most important thing. Madam will take good care of the Queen. Your Highness does not need to worry."

"The empress is really sending charcoal in a timely manner." Seeing this scene, all the officials were immediately overjoyed. At this critical time, if these things are missing, things will be really difficult. Although the empress was frightened, she obviously stayed awake. What is most needed, even if someone sends it, it can be said to be a great help to the prince.

Some people even thought that the emperor really trusted the empress a lot. Outsiders thought that the emperor favored Empress Xuehua and neglected the empress, but at the critical moment, the emperor still trusted the empress in his bones.

The prince's expression was gloomy, and he didn't speak for a while, but quickly raised his head, and said in a deep voice, "Where is Yuan Chongshang!"

Yuan Chongshang came to the prince's side in a few steps, knelt down on the ground, the prince picked up the tiger talisman and the golden sword for killing, and said in a deep voice: "I will hand over these two things to you, and the great Qin will survive and die. You report back early!"

Yuan Chongshang naturally knew that things should not be delayed, as delays will lead to changes, so he did not hesitate, took the golden sword and tiger talisman, and said solemnly: "If I don't seize the military power, I will repay Your Highness with death!" No more words, stood up, put away the gold Sword Tiger Talisman, bowed deeply, turned around and left.

"Zhou Nayan!"

"The subordinate is here!"

"You have a brilliant literary talent. This palace ordered you to draw up three decrees and send people to Qianhu of the Hexi Sanzhou State Army to tell them that Feng Yuanpo was punished for his rebellion and that the barbarians had already pledged their allegiance to the Great Qin. Feng Po of the Hexi Imperial Guards The captives have already sworn allegiance to the imperial court, as long as they are loyal to the imperial court, they will immediately become marquises." The prince said slowly: "The rebellion in Hexi was the fault of Feng Yuanpo alone, and has nothing to do with others. ...Tell them that if they want to rebel, Shenyiwei will take action at any time, and let them be careful to sleep with their heads and get up without them!"

"The next official will write it immediately." Zhou Ting looked serious, and everyone present knew that although the conspiracy of the Temple of Heaven was thwarted, the matter was far from over. There are only a few thousand guards and a dark army of Shenyiwei, and the number of Shenyiwei is not too many. Once the rebels make a desperate move to Tiangong, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Remember, you must use the tone of your father to make these decrees." The prince said in a deep voice, "The news of your father's death cannot be publicized for the time being."

Zhou Ting immediately said: "Your official understands!"

In fact, everyone knows very well that although the emperor is old, the founding king of the empire still has his prestige. If the prince makes an order, it is far less powerful than the emperor's order.

"Meilon!"

Mei Long, governor of Hujin Road, immediately cupped his hands and said, "Your official is here!"

The prince stared at Mei Long, "Mei Long, what will happen to the situation in Hexi? It is difficult for me to determine for a while. I will send someone to escort you out of Tiangong first. You should return to Hujin Road immediately and prepare your troops. Once the situation in Hexi becomes tense , Immediately lead the Hujin Army to come to support...!" Sighing, said: "I can't send you off!"

Hujin Road is located in the south of Hexi Road, with a very small area. It is not only adjacent to Hexi Road, but also connected to Anyi in the northwest, adjacent to Xishan Road in the west, and connected to Yuling Road in the south. It is surrounded by four roads and has jurisdiction However, in the land of the two states, the number of Hujin Imperial Guards is only 3000 people, and all the soldiers and horses together are only a few thousand people, and their strength is extremely weak.

Without hesitation, Mei Long cupped his hands and said, "I'm going back to Hujin immediately, summon troops and horses, and follow His Highness' dispatch!"

"You can't mobilize the state army." The crown prince picked up another golden sword for avoiding death, "You take this golden sword with you as a token, and you can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Hujin!"

Mei Long took it with both hands, with a dignified expression, "Thanks to His Highness's trust, I will go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to do so!"
