Holding the handle of the knife in one hand, he walked into the inner hall and saw Jiang Fuguang leaning on the couch, fiddling with the five-color rope knot in his hand.

Seeing him come in, she smiled unconsciously: "Give me the knife."

"What do you need a knife for?" Ji Ruxuan raised an eyebrow and took off the saber from his waist as instructed. He double-checked that the scabbard was intact before stepping forward with a horizontal sword.

Jiang Fuguang took the knife and hung the five-color knot on the handle: "This is a diamond knot. Wearing it on your body can ward off evil spirits and ensure safety. Do not take it off in the future."

Holding the knife in both hands, she handed it to Ji Ruxuan: "Reward."

Ji Ruxuan forgot to pick it up for a moment, and stared at the tassel hanging on the handle of the knife. A long diamond knot, interlocking with each other, was swinging in the air. The cold ink knife suddenly took on color and was no longer a single one. The blackness, at first glance, shows that even the vicious aura on the knife has been restrained a lot.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Jiang Fuguang simply stepped forward, bent down and hung the knife back on his waist.

"Reward?" Ji Ruxuan repeated her words.

Standing in front of him, Jiang Fuguang was made even smaller by him, she tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek: "I reward you for taking your medicine obediently."

She asked again: "Do you like it?"

"I like it." Ji Ruxuan flicked the tassel of the knife with his fingers, smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed upward, "You've been working hard all morning and didn't even handle official duties. Just because of this?"

Jiang Fuguang nodded: "It's the first time I'm doing it, I'm afraid it won't work well, so I spent a little more time."

It was the first time, how rare it was that Qi Yanhuai and Gu Jiayan both used swords. Ji Ruxuan was so happy: "From now on, only I will do it."

Jiang Fuguang was stunned, and couldn't help but nodded with a smile.

Unable to hold back, Ji Ruxuan rushed out of the inner hall and practiced a set of saber techniques in the yard.

After breakfast, Jiang Fuguang was going to the study to review the memorial. Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and he saw Yingluo entering the room: "Princess, someone has come from the palace and said that His Majesty has urgently summoned you. Please come into the palace immediately." , don’t delay for a moment.”

Jiang Fuguang got up quickly, and when he was about to leave the room, he turned his head and said to Ji Ruxuan hastily, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

Ji Ruxuan suddenly felt something in her heart. Jiang Fuguang said the same thing the day the urgent report that the Northern Dynasty envoy was killed was sent to the capital.

Jiang Fuguang changed his clothes and left the inner courtyard. When he arrived at the front hall, he saw Xiao Dezi looking anxiously and looking around. Suddenly he saw the eldest princess appeared. He hurriedly greeted her and saluted: "Eldest princess, Please enter the palace quickly."

Jiang Fuguang didn't walk slowly, and hurried out with him, asking as he walked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Dezi said quickly: "Not long ago, we received a report from the southwest. Yue analyzed the eight hundred miles of urgent report. I heard that three horses died along the way, so I sent the news to Beijing. We also have the specific situation. unknown."

Yue Xizhao is adjacent to Yun Zhongguo, so the uncle's warning may have come true.

Jiang Fuguang didn't speak anymore, and hurried all the way into the palace, and hurried to the South Study Room.

Zhang Dequan was outside, and when he saw the eldest princess coming, he immediately greeted her, and while leading her in, he said in a low voice: "The Southwest Yuexi imperial edict sent an urgent report, and Prince Yan Gelisi disregarded the diplomatic relations signed with the Southern Dynasty earlier." According to the terms and conditions, he privately brought his own soldiers from the government into the territory of Yuexi, massacred the civilians of Yuexi, looted their property, and left afterwards, killing and injuring more than [-] people in Yuexi."

"His Majesty was so angry that he immediately summoned several court officials to the palace to discuss matters."

Jiang Fuguang entered the south study room with a solemn expression.

Li Shangshu, Prince Chang and others had already arrived. Emperor Nanxing stood in front of the dragon case with his hands behind his hands, his back turned to everyone, staring at the map that occupied an entire wall, without saying a word.The atmosphere was solemn.

After waiting for a while, Gu Xiangcai came slowly out of breath.

Zhang Dequan presented the urgent report sent by Yue Xizhao to the eldest princess, and everyone passed it on to each other, all with solemn faces.

Emperor Nanxing turned around: "What are your opinions?"

The study was quiet for a moment. It was a matter of major diplomatic importance between the two countries. For a while, no one dared to be the first to stand up and express their opinion.

Jiang Fuguang said: "Piroye's wolfish ambition to unify the Southwest was already evident when Prince Gelizi signed the terms of diplomatic relations with the Southern Dynasty on behalf of Yunzhong."

"Ge Lisi's attack on the Yue Jizhao and blatant tearing up of the terms of diplomatic relations agreed with the Southern Dynasty was a provocation and a test against the Southern Dynasty. He attempted to take advantage of the Southern Dynasty's unpreparedness to take advantage of the situation and complete the great cause of unifying the southwest. "

"If we, the Southern Dynasty, do not interfere and just wait for the Southern Dynasty to go to war with South Vietnam, Piroye will send troops to conquer all the tribes in the southwest."

This is an obvious thing, and everyone present knows it.

But the Qi family army was weak and had a difficult time dealing with South Vietnam. How could it deal with Yun China's wolfish ambitions?
Therefore, everyone present here dare not speak rashly.

Many officials in the Ministry of War and the court secretly scolded Marquis Chengan and Ye Shangshu in their hearts. If they hadn't turned a tiger into a sick cat for their own selfish desires, he said that China would be safe. Dare to disturb Tai Sui?
Emperor Nanxing glanced at everyone and saw that everyone was silent. Even Prince Chang, the military commander who had the most say in the war, looked cautious.

He sighed in his heart, if there really was to be a war, the only one who could fight, resist and bleed would be Taiwei Qi.

He asked aloud: "In the view of the eldest princess?"

Jiang Fuguang's voice was sonorous and resounding: "Send troops to the southwest immediately to shock Yun China."

"No," she said, and Gu Xiang finally said, "I think that the Lingnan war is imminent, and it is not appropriate to cause more troubles at this time, so as to increase the pressure on Qi's army. We should first have a serious negotiation with Yun Zhongguo and look at Yun Zhongguo first." attitude, and then decide whether to fight or not."

Prince Changjun immediately agreed: "I agree with what Prime Minister Gu said. The diplomatic relations between the two countries are serious and how can they be trivial? How can we have to fight with swords if we disagree with each other? What we will accept will only analyze one side of the imperial edict. The truth of the matter has not yet been determined, so we should not act hastily."

Other ministers also agreed.

"Right now, we should focus on South Vietnam and not be distracted."

"The Qi family's army has eliminated the dangers of South Vietnam, so Yun China has nothing to fear."

"Pease Yun Zhongguo first, wait for the Lingnan war to settle down, and then deal with Yun Zhongguo's tearing up of the terms of diplomatic relations between the two countries."

"..."

No matter whether they are civil servants or military generals, few like to fight. Everyone has the mentality of not fighting if they can.

Yun Zhongguo's provocative behavior is also insignificant in the eyes of the civil and military ministers.

Although Yue Jizhao attached himself to the Southern Dynasty and paid tribute to the Southern Dynasty, it was not the territory of the Southern Dynasty. The snow in front of his own door was not swept away, so he had no time to care about the frost on other people's tiles.

"When you said these words, did you just open your mouth without thinking?" Qi Yanhuai couldn't stand it and sneered, "If Yun Zhongguo really sends troops to Yue Jizhao, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
