Ling Chuyao's face sank like water: "Xuan."
A soldier wearing the most common armor of Dayan came into the hall and presented the urgent information on his back: "His Royal Highness, Chengzhou is rushing eight hundred miles, and the 80,000 troops stationed in Chengzhou have turned back."
Ling Chuyao was waiting to speak, and he heard another voice outside: "Report-Your Highness, Wendu is rushing six hundred miles. The Zhenwei army stationed in Wendu is uprising in the name of'Princess' side.' 90,000 troops are coming to the capital.
Immediately after that, the Hundred Thousand Hang Xing Army in Linzhou also reversed in name.
When the ministers heard that so many places turned upside down at the same time, they panicked and whispered about what to do.
Ling Chuyao sneered: "I didn't expect that good seventh brother Gu still kept such a hand, but looked at him lonely."
"His Royal Highness, now Chengzhou, Wendu, and Linzhou have people using soldiers. How should we respond now?"
Ling Chuyao said, "Since someone doesn't give up, let him give up!"
"But now..."
The speaker was the British prince, but unfortunately he was interrupted before he finished speaking: "His Royal Highness, please forgive the ministers for presumptuousness. The soldiers said that the name of the rebel army was on the side of the Qing Dynasty, and the ministers would like to know. How is the emperor now?"
Everyone was startled, and then they remembered that Ling Chuyao hadn't said what happened last night from just now until now, why didn't he see the emperor today, but he was the prince who came to court.
Of course, Ling Chuyao did not miss the changes in the eyes of the ministers. He did not conceal what Ling Qianyao and Dai Yu had done, and finally said: "Father is also ill in bed because of what happened last night, and he is lonely today. Instead of the father’s imperial court."
"Dare to ask His Royal Highness, how is the emperor's dragon body now?"
Ling Chuyao smiled slightly: "Father is just anxious, and he can recover after a few days of rest."
"Where are the Queen Empress and the Seventh Prince?"
"The seventh brother has escaped from the capital last night, and the several urgent reports received today are probably his handwriting. As for the queen, she has been taken back to Fengxiang Palace, and he will handle it personally when his father's dragon body is better."
The British man who asked the question nodded, and returned to his position without saying more.
Ling Chuyao said again: "The most urgent task now is to deploy troops to stop the rebellious army coming straight to the capital?"
Chen Xian, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, listed: "His Royal Highness, the total strength of the capital is only 150,000. I am afraid that it can't deal with the three parties at the same time."
"Where are the local forces?"
"There may not be enough troops in the localities, and the troops in the three places of Cheng, Wen, and Lin have reversed. Even if there are still troops, I am afraid that they will only be used as vehicles."
Ling Chuyao thought for a while, and said, "I will go to see the emperor in isolation, with General Chengwei, General Chengwei, and the Ministry of War."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ling Chuyao brought these people together
Going to see the emperor must be to discuss things to quell the chaos. Others see nothing, they can only go back to the house and wait for news.
After leaving the Jinluan Temple, Ling Chuyao said to Dong Lin as he walked to the Qianqing Palace: "Send a letter to Lu Sheng and let him bring 50,000 troops in the northwest to intercept the Linzhou rebels. As for Wendu and Chengzhou, let the local garrisons go. Explore the reality."
The three people who followed couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard Ling Chuyao's instructions. No wonder the other three parties were moving, but the northwest did not. It turned out that Ling Chuyao had already been pinched by Ling Chuyao.
When Ling Chuyao took the people back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Emperor Xuan Le had already woke up. Ling Chuyao could no longer hide the matter of military power, and was afraid of irritating Emperor Xuanle, so he tried to use a flat voice to tell the matter.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Xuanle was still angry and cursed the traitor Ling Qianyao, and then took out the tiger charm to Ling Chuyao, saying: "You figure it out. If you catch that traitor, remember to escort him back to Beijing. I will interrogate him personally. !"
Ling Chuyao took the tiger talisman and said in a deep voice: "The son will follow the order, and the son will not humiliate the mission!"
With the tiger symbol, the forces of the cities near the capital were all mobilized by Ling Chuyao. Ling Chuyao did not delay either. First, he dispatched fifty thousand troops to Chengzhou to intercept, and then sent Yue Buwei to lead fifty thousand to Linzhou to help Lv Qiao, but the position of the general has not been determined.
After listening to Ling Chuyao's arrangement, Chen Xian said: "His Royal Highness, Wendu's Zhenwei Army has 90,000 troops, and only 50,000 troops are sent, just in case..."
"Chen Qing doesn't need to worry. Although there is a huge disparity in military strength, the outcome of a war depends not only on the strength of the troops, but also on the leader. If the leader has the talent, he can win more with less."
Chen Xian only felt that something flashed in his mind, but he couldn't catch it if the speed was too fast, "His Royal Highness, do you already have a suitable candidate in your heart?"
"Yes, the orphans personally led the troops out!"
The expressions of the three of Chen Xian changed, "His Royal Highness, please think twice, how can you be easily suspected as a prince?"
"Except for Gu, no one can win this battle anymore!" Ling Chuyao's tone was very arrogant, "And Gu decided to go in person, so naturally there is a reason to go in person."
Yue Buwei asked, "Will the Seven Kings go to Wendu?"
Ling Chuyao glanced at him appreciatively, "Yes, the literature is in the south, beautiful and rich and rich in resources, Ling Qianyao will definitely go there, and I must personally catch him back!"
Yue Buwei had a meal and then asked: "In this case, the Weichen invites himself to go to Chengzhou."
"The lone person who goes to Chengzhou has made a decision, General Yue, you will set off for Linzhou, the southwest, and leave it to you the next day!"
Yue Buwei knew that it would be useless to say more, so he could only bow and lead his orders: "Weichen, surely live up to the emperor's fate!"
After everything was arranged, it was night. When Ling Chuyao returned to the East Palace, Zhuge Linlang was waiting for him to use it.
Dinner.
"Didn't I send someone back to say that I will be back later? Why don't I eat first?"
Zhuge Linlang asked, "Are you going to go to the expedition?"
Ling Chuyao didn't expect Zhuge Linlang to get the news so soon, and even if she didn't ask, he would take the initiative to say it, after all, this matter could not be hidden from her.
"Yes."
Zhuge Linlang said very simply: "I want to go with you!"
Ling Chuyao got rid of all the moisture and walked to squat in front of her, "You can't be with me."
Zhuge Linlang originally wanted to say something, but Ling Chuyao pressed her lips with her index finger and prevented her from speaking, so she could only protest with her eyes.
Ling Chuyao smiled slightly, "The imperial court is not strong enough, so I took 50,000 horses to Wendu, and Yue Buwei took 50,000 to Linzhou to help Lv Qiao."
Zhuge Linlang moved in her heart and guessed Ling Chuyao's plan: "You let me go to Chengzhou?"
"Afraid?"
Zhuge Linlang smiled proudly, "How can I be afraid? I was born for the battlefield."
Ling Chuyao said, "No, you were born for me!"
Since ancient times, no prince has led the army to say that Ling Chuyao announced his arrangements in the court the next day, which drew strong opposition from the group of officials.
Ling Chuyao looked at the quarrelling ministers underneath with a slight sarcasm, and asked lightly: "Since the princes think it is inappropriate for the prince to lead the army, according to your wishes, who will go to Chengzhou?"
After hearing Ling Chuyao's words, the ministers who had been so quarrelsome instantly calmed down. They didn't want to be the first bird at this time!
Ling Chuyao said again: "The princes kept their mouths silent. They have always had no objection to Gu's decision. If this is the case, this matter is set!"
After deciding on the coach, things were much easier. Yue Buwei had already gone to Linzhou first. Ling Chuyao and Zhuge Linlang set off at the same time, heading north and southeast one by one.
In the autumn of Xuanle twenty-sixth year, the prince and the princess both led troops to quell the rebellion and took three months to capture the rebel Wang Ling Qianyao back to Beijing.
In December of the same year, Emperor Xuanle made an order to abolish the title of empress and enter the cold palace. The nineteenth princes were born without showing up and were demoted to common people. The seven kings Ling Qianyao gave dove wine and were not allowed to be buried in the royal cemetery after death.
Because of the palace change on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor Xuanle unknowingly was poisoned by Ling Qianyao, and Fang gave Ling Qianyao to rebel in the name of "the side of the Qing emperor," with the goal of getting the throne in a legitimate way!
Although Emperor Xuanle's toxicity was removed, his body went from bad to worse.
In the spring of the twenty-seventh year of Xuanle, Emperor Xuanle ordered the throne of Zen, and the crown prince Ling Chuyao ascended the throne.
The empress is deeply affectionate, and Emperor Zhaowu decreed to abolish the three-year draft, and only the queen was left for life. The harem was like a fake, which was cited as an eternal story for a while.
