In desperation, Jiang Fuguang had no choice but to encourage private disaster relief, and through Chuzhuanglou, contacted some grain and medicine dealers, and in the name of private disaster relief, donated a batch of grain and medicine to areas where the disaster and spring plague were serious.

In September, another good news came from Lingnan.

The Qi army captured Fucheng, the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom, and entrenched itself along the southeast coast. The Nanyue Kingdom, which had been dominant for more than 200 years, was completely destroyed.

At the same time, Sanzhao also completed the westward migration.

Qi Zaiyuan led his army to leave Yunzhong City and reunited with Qi Yanhuai who was in Dali City. Thirty thousand troops were stationed in Dali City.

King Yong Jiang Jinghuang, who had been missing for many days, took the imperial edict of the late emperor and established a vassal in the southwest. He was known as the "King of Southwest" in history, which shocked the court.

The historian truthfully recorded in the "Chronicle of the Southern Dynasties": In the 16th year of Nanxing, the emperor became ill. During the regency of the supervising country, the eldest princess received the emperor's support. She successively took the lead in pacifying the battles in the southwest and destroyed the South Vietnam Kingdom. In 170, the Southern Dynasty was established for the first time. Unification of the South.

The historian recorded the events in more detail in the "Southern History".

At the same time, he wrote the "Biography of the Eldest Princess of Nanshu", which recorded the magnificent 17 years of Jiang Fuguang, the eldest princess who protected the country.

The news circulated in Luojing for several days, and Emperor Xiao of Nanxuan announced that General Hussar would come to Beijing to receive the seal.

The hussar generals believed that the barbarians were not converted and did not abide by the rule of the Southern Dynasty. The army had to be stationed in South Vietnam for a long time to prevent the revival of South Vietnam. The late emperor's efforts were in vain and he refused to enter the capital.

Emperor Nan Xiao was furious: "Qi Linfeng held his own troops in high arrogance and was extremely disobedient. I issued three orders in a row, but he refused to obey them and ignored them. Could it be that he wanted to rebel? Do you really think that the late emperor stayed for five years and did not play Qi? With his last edict, I can’t touch him?”

Empress Gao frowned: "I contacted the hidden people buried in the Qi family army earlier, but there has been no news from there. I'm afraid the situation is already in danger..."

Previously, when Qi Linfeng was on an expedition to South Vietnam, the whereabouts of the army were uncertain and communication was difficult, so no news came back and he didn't think much about it.

But now, the news about Qi Linfeng's pacification of South Vietnam was sent to Beijing, but there was no movement from the other party, so she couldn't help but think too much.

Emperor Nan Xiao felt something was wrong and quickly called the secret guard responsible for contacting Anzi to inquire about the situation.

At the same time, Jiang Fuguang sent a secret edict to the southwest, ordering General Zhengnan and General Xiaoqi to garrison Dali City and pay attention to the movements of the Western Fan Kingdom. Without an edict, they were not allowed to leave their garrison without authorization.

No one knew about the secret edict, but those who got the secret edict felt the solemnity of the approaching storm from the lines of the eldest princess's words.

Qi Yanhuai pursed his lips and clenched his hands into fists.

Qi Zaiyuan was silent for a moment: "Ayan guessed that after the three imperial edicts completed their westward move and the overall situation in the southwest was certain, you would leave the station without authorization and return to the capital privately, so he sent someone to send the secret imperial edict."

The news of the Luojing Palace coup last year spread from Lingnan to the southwest. Yan Huai brought [-] elite troops that night to fight back to Luojing, but he stopped him halfway. Neither brother could convince the other. In the end, Qi Zaiyuan used his fists to It proves that your brother will always be your brother.You can’t listen to what others say, right?
A beating will make you honest.

Qi Yanhuai had one of his legs broken, and it took him more than a month to fully recover. During the period of recuperation, Qi Zaiyuan spoke sincerely, understood things with reason, and moved them with emotion.

"It's true that Jiang Lingrong usurped power and seized the throne, but we have no evidence. He has the late emperor's edict of passing the throne. On the surface, he is orthodox. If you go back to Luojing without hesitation, don't you become a traitor? As a member of the Qi family, Descendants, not only the entire Qi family will be affected? There will also be Ayan, one hundred thousand Qi family troops, those ministers in the court who support the Qi family army, and their families, relatives and friends."

"There is still a war in Lingnan. If you do this, you will directly cut off the Qi family's army. My grandfather, second uncle, and second brother are enemies of the country and the family. The sacrifices made by several generations of the Qi family in order to pacify South Vietnam will be completely eliminated. It’s all in vain.”

"If the Qi family becomes rebellious, the princes from all over the country will definitely take advantage of the situation. Jiang Lingrong is a waste and cannot suppress the local princes. If the Southern Dynasty falls into war and falls apart, you will become a sinner for the ages."

"Ayan worked so hard to pacify the southwest and almost lost his life. The situation in the southwest is currently uncertain. If you leave like this, the issue of the three imperial edicts moving westward will definitely change again. Ayan's hard work will be in vain, won't it?"

"Jiang Lingrong is a loser and is no match for A Yan..."

"..."

Qi Yanhuai calmed down and listened to the truth, but not completely. While stationed in Dali City, he actively suppressed bandits, worked hard to stabilize the situation in the southwest, and facilitated the westward movement of the Three Imperial Examinations. He waited for the news of the completion of the westward movement of the Three Imperial Examinations. After entering Beijing, prepare to return to Beijing quietly.

"You want to go back to see Ayan and see Ayan well with your own eyes," Qi Zaiyuan smiled bitterly, why didn't he want to?But as the eldest brother, he has to shoulder more responsibilities. He cannot act as recklessly as Yan Huai, "But Ayan doesn't want you to go back..."

Qi Yanhuai interrupted him: "Don't tell me any more nonsense. I know that the Qi family is not only the Qi family of the Southern Dynasty, nor is it Jiang Lingrong's Qi family, it is the Qi family of the world. It will always protect the common people. You guys Dayi, you are noble, but I am not you, the only person I want to protect is A Yan!"

"I won't stop you," Qi Zaiyuan paused, and then said: "But you know very well that Ayan insisted on destroying Yun China and ordered the three imperial edicts to move westward. In addition to opening up territory and completing the rule of the southwest, he also wanted to defend the west. When Tibet invaded, Ayan sneaked into Yue to analyze the imperial edict and secretly met with Sheng Lilong. Sheng Lilong personally said that Piroye unified the southwest and wanted to go south to dominate, and he had the support of the Xifan Kingdom behind him."

"After conquering Yunzhong City, I found letters from the royal palace of Yunzhong between Piroye and Hulqi, the leader of the Xibo Kingdom. Huleqi stated in the letter that if Piroye could unify the southwest, the Xibo Congress would Send troops to help Piroye go south and dominate."

The ambition of the Xifan Kingdom to invade the Central Plains was already obvious. Taking advantage of China's past mistakes, Ayan did not dare to hand over the southwest to Sanzhao, so he forced Sanzhao to move westward and set up defenses in Dali City, taking advantage of his own opportunities. in hand.

"Over the years, natural and man-made disasters have continued in the Southern Dynasties, and wars have continued. The country has shown signs of instability. Now that the late emperor has passed away, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and the factions in the DPRK and China are fighting, power is being strangled, and turmoil continues. It is difficult to guarantee that Xifan will not take advantage of the situation. Enter, we must defend the southwest..."

The Xifan Kingdom was powerful, even more powerful than the Nanyue Kingdom. If Xifan invaded in a large scale, he alone would not be able to defend it.

"Qi Zaiyuan," Qi Yanhuai suddenly raised his voice, "Jiang Lingrong killed his grandfather and killed his uncle. He and the Qi family have an irreconcilable hatred. Do you want to do anything for him for the sake of your so-called loyalty and righteousness?" ?”

"You should wake up, the Southern Dynasty is no longer the Southern Dynasty it used to be." (End of chapter)
