In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, the king of Zhongzhou rebelled, and the four states of the Chu state were caught in war.
The Chu Emperor Zhong Lichen ordered Xuan Jingchen, the commander of Lanzhou, to be the general of the army and horses in the world to put down the rebellion. In the summer of the seventeenth year of Tianbao, all the kings were executed, and all the turmoil in the world had subsided.
It stands to reason that the general king should return to the court, but after recovering Yunzhou for a month, he did not wait for the emperor's decree to recall him.
Today, Zhong Lichen has been on the throne for 18 years. In the first ten years, he has made great achievements, executed the ministers, cleared the powerful, and ruled the world like a prosperous world. In the next eight years, he fought with foreign countries and suffered frequent defeats. He made great efforts to carry out construction projects, and labored the people and hurt the wealth.
It was precisely because of the failure of the war against the barbarians that the central authority was unstable, which led to the civil war that lasted for two years.
Internal and external troubles, but under the loyal efforts of the general Xuan Jingchen, the emperor was still firmly seated.
It is such an emperor who has repeatedly begged the other party to go on an expedition in person, but has repeatedly refused because of his security. After the war, he rushed to Yunzhou, which is thousands of miles away. How could the court not be shocked.
What caused the emperor to do this was her only heir, His Highness Shuo, who made the emperor disregard the persuasion of the ministers, even if he didn't know how to live or die.
The emperor has been in power for 18 years, except for the husband of the emperor Wen who has passed away from the previous big marriage, he has no other partner. And His Royal Highness Shuo is the son of her and the emperor's husband, and the only child of the emperor.
As the emperor's only heir, it stands to reason that his status should be extremely noble. But this Highness Shuo was born in a cold palace before he was eight years old. After he was eight years old, he met King Yunzhong who came to the court, and was given to King Yunzhong by His Majesty to take him to Yunzhou.
The reason for this was that the Yang family, where Emperor Wen's husband belonged, rebelled before His Royal Highness was born. Because of the rebellion of the father's clan, even the young Highness Shuo was not loved by the emperor.
Originally thought that His Royal Highness Shuo, who was sent to Yunzhou, would eventually be sent by the emperor as an idle prince to live a stable life, so the ministers did not pay much attention to her.
But who would have thought that the king of Zhongzhou would rebel, invade Yunzhou and kill the king of Yunzhou, and His Highness Shuo lost news. The news of His Highness's disappearance aroused the emperor's remaining maternal love, Yu Chaotang was furious, and ordered Si Ming, the supervisor of Tiansi, to retrieve His Highness Shuo desperately.
Not only that, a few months ago, despite the minister's dissuasion, he issued nine orders of silver light to the world, declaring that His Royal Highness Mingshuo was the foundation of the state of Chu, bestowed the word Zhaoming, the prince of a country.
But the supervisor Tiansi searched for a long time, but could not find any trace of the prince.
After two years of war, a young man who was helpless might have been trampled to death on the street by the soldiers and horses of the King of Zhongzhou. But just because Da Si Ming Ran, who disappeared a month ago, said that the prince exists in the world, the emperor personally went to Yunzhou and ordered the three armies to find the prince's trace after the war.
So Xuan Jingchen's army had to stay in Yunzhou to find the prince.
The Yunzhou City Lord's Mansion is heavily guarded.
Xuan Jingchen sat in the upper position, with his back to the map of Kyushu, wearing a silver armor and looking at the generals sitting in front of the long desk, he frowned and said, "What happened to the plague in Yunzhou and Zhongzhou?"
"The Taiyi people have set up healing points everywhere, and we have already sent people to help them deal with the patients who died from the plague."
"The court's disaster relief food has also arrived, the remnants of Yunzhou have been cleaned up, and the situation has stabilized."
The person who responded to the case was the general's right-hand man, Xu Renqing, the left-counseling general.
The handsome young man glanced at the tall and slender woman sitting across from him, and said, "The important thing now is His Majesty's southern tour. If His Majesty arrives in Yunzhou, I haven't found the Crown Prince yet..."
Xuan Jingchen interrupted Xu Renqing's words and said, "The prince has been missing for two years. I don't know if he is alive or dead. It's my luck to find him. If I can't find this general, I won't let the emperor punish those in the army."
"General Le Zheng, have all your people been sent out?"
Le Zhengying, who was named, promised and replied: "All the available people have been dispatched, and even Nanjiang has left. I also entrusted Mr. Qinglan. If I still can't find it..."
The Mr. Qing Lan in her mouth was the strategist who came to the army to assist Xuan Jingchen a year ago. The strategist was a member of the Taiyi family, a master of the five elements, but even so, it was very difficult to find Zhong Lishuo in Haohao Yunzhou.
But Xuan Jingchen nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's enough."
The meaning of this is that even if no one is found, the emperor can make sense of it.
After the discussion was over, Le Zhengying stayed behind, looking at the general who was still drafting the law before the case, with a few traces of melancholy on his brow, "Yongle..."
Yongle is the word of Xuan Jingchen. Hearing the call of his friend, the majestic general raised his head, and his doubtful eyes revealed the softness of this illustrious god of war belonging to a woman. Looking at the soft-looking Qingmei general under the armor in front of him, Le Zhengying frowned and said, "If the emperor came to Yunzhou, it would be fine if it was for the prince. But the prince has been missing for two years, even if the emperor wants to find it, it will cost a little more. Strength. Yongle, what if His Majesty is not for the Crown Prince?"
Xuan Jingchen now holds a high position and authority, and after quelling the rebellion of the kings, he seems to be the first person in the army.
With such a character, how could the emperor not be afraid of his power and shock.
What Le Zhengying was afraid of was that the emperor was so mobilized to come to Yunzhou to find the prince, it was fake, and it was real to attack.
Xuan Jingchen's heart was clear, and he would naturally think of this matter. But she didn't care, she just nodded and said, "In this matter, I don't ask for merit, but I ask for no fault."
The implication is that the soldiers will block the water and cover the soil, as long as you have a clear conscience.
Cola was thinking about the moody comments of the emperor in the court, and couldn't help but worry a little more for his friends.
If only I could find the prince.
Le Zhengying thought, at this moment, he can only hope that Mr. Qing Lan can make some calculations.
But when he thought that the other party was surprised that the prince had lived to be fourteen years old, Le Zhengying's heart sank a little. She thought for a while, looked at Xuan Jingchen who was immersed in formulating the new policy of the military, sighed, and returned to her residence to urge her subordinates to be more careful.
But no one expected that a few days later, news of finding the prince came from Qinglan.
"Are you sure she is the prince?" Looking at Mr. Tsing Yi who was sipping a cup of wolfberry tea, Xuan Jingchen asked with a frown.
"Yes or no, the general will know at first sight." Qing Lan replied in this way, telling Xuan Jingchen of the location, and then instructed: "This Highness is very detached from the world, the general may have to pay more attention this time."
After hesitating for a moment, the general led Xu Renli, Le Zhengying, and his personal soldiers to a ruined temple in Yunzhou City that was healed by a Tai Taoist priest.
No one expected that the long-lost prince would be hidden in the ruined temple.
Xuan Jingchen rode his horse and frowned as he thought about what he said before leaving. Driving through the street all the way, Xuan Jingchen looked at a large number of refugees who were placed in front of the ruined temple, and his brows gradually stretched.
A large number of soldiers poured in, attracting people in front of the temple to visit.
Xuan Jingchen was about to dismount, but his eyes fell on a young man who was feeding a patient with a medicine bowl.
The boy was wearing a stained cloth and turned his back to her, leaving only a thin and handsome back.
Xuan Jingchen's eyes fell on her, and he couldn't help but look twice. Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly turned around, raised his eyes and set his eyes on her.
With the eyes facing each other, Xuan Jingchen saw a pair of bright and deep eyes like stars.
She was stunned for a moment, and her eyes fell on the black and gray but unusually white face of the boy, and she froze in place.
It was at this moment that Xuan Jingchen understood Qing Lan's words, "You can tell at first sight."
The young man in front of him has a face similar to Jiucheng, the supreme king in the palace.
The love of beauty in the state of Chu prevailed, especially in the Zhongli royal family, and the emperor Zhong Lichen was the most among them.
Xuan Jingchen has faced the saint many times, and naturally he remembers this profound beauty.
The young man in plain clothes in front of him has a tender face. Although he is not as beautiful as the emperor who dominates the world, he has a sense of beauty. Maybe it was too thin and weak, or maybe the little white face stained with black and gray was soft, but Xuan Jingchen actually felt a sense of pity.
Just for a moment, Xuan Jingchen didn't notice the frown of the young man under the horse.
The young man turned his back to the soldiers and refugees in a temple, looked at General Yinjia on the horse, and asked, "Who is Your Excellency?"
The young Qingyue's voice, like a silver bell, fell into Xuan Jingchen's ear and pulled her back to her mind. She suddenly remembered the identity of the other party, neatly turned over and dismounted, fell to the ground, and said in a samurai salute, "Chen Xuan Jingchen, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
As she spoke, she raised her head and looked straight at the unparalleled Prince Zhaoming in front of her. Zhong Lishuo lowered his eyes, looked at the general who was kneeling in front of him in silver armor, stared at the gentle face of the other party, and was stunned in place.
Zhong Lishuo held the bowl, looked at Xuan Jingchen in front of him, and suddenly saw all the soldiers who followed her kneeling neatly on the ground, not saying a word.
"The sinner came late to rescue him, and I hope His Highness forgives his sins, and hereby welcomes His Highness to return to the court."
The general's words rang in his ears, and immediately, the soldiers behind him shouted, "Welcome Your Highness to return to the DPRK!"
The people in front of the ruined temple set their eyes on Zhong Lishuo, and knelt on the ground after realizing it, in awe.
There was silence in front of the ruined temple, Zhong Li Shuo looked at the dark figures kneeling around him, thinking that this day has come.
She looked at Xuan Jingchen in front of her, and made a bitter smile, then holding the medicine bowl, she knelt down in front of Xuan Jingchen, staring at her and said, "I have heard the name of the general for a long time, the general is my lucky star of the Chu country, and today I got it. Seeing the general, Caomin will die without regret."
"It's just that the general admitted that he was wrong, and he is not a mere commoner, not His Royal Highness."
"Pretending to be a relative of the royal family is a serious crime. Caomin dare not. I hope the general will find out and let Caomin go."
As she spoke, she put down the medicine bowl, fell to her knees, knelt on the ground respectfully, and gave a full bow to the young general opposite.
Xuan Jingchen looked at the young prince who was kneeling in front of him, stunned in place.
At this moment, she suddenly understood that the prince was clearly alive, but the whole world knew that she was the prince, and the whole ape was looking for her, but he hid in Taiyi to treat the injured and did not show his face at all.
It turns out that he is such a person who does not want imperial power
