The couple chatted affectionately for a while, and then took their son to the main courtyard for dinner.

After dinner, the family went back to their room early to rest, preparing to recharge their batteries for the upcoming busyness and war.

In the past few years, I have accumulated a lot of experience in preparing for the northwest expedition, so the pre-war work this time was carried out very smoothly and efficiently. In just a few days, the food, grass and logistics were raised. The Song family army, which was ready for battle, was in the best combat condition at all times.

.

Two days later, Song Xi led an army of 100,000 to attack the Three Jin Dynasties.

Yu Yalan, who was pregnant, could not see him off far away, so she could only watch him go away with her son at the gate of the villa.

Although I knew intellectually that there was no suspense about the outcome of this war, I still couldn't help but feel a little worried and concerned in my heart.

In order to ensure that her husband, who was on the front line, could go smoothly, she decided to resume part of her daily work in advance.

Temporarily put projects can be carried out slowly, urgent government affairs should be dealt with first, and the industries operated must continue to operate normally. If they are too busy, they will be assigned to successive levels.

All areas under his command have also entered tense wartime martial law, sealing off major checkpoints to prevent other forces from taking advantage of them.

Border patrols and entry and exit inspections have been strengthened again to ensure that there will be no omissions or confusion in internal security.

Only by making the northwest base as stable as a rock can Song Xi and his soldiers fight abroad without worries.

Yu Hongxuan was worried that his sister would have to work hard, so he had to accompany her to share the affairs with her. After being busy, he also took time to develop some anti-fetal pills, so that Yu Yalan could supplement enough nutrition every day to ensure that her fetal air was stable, full of energy, and would not be burdened by heavy tasks.

Government affairs affect health and status.

War has broken out again in the northwest, and fierce fighting is going on in the capital.

The battle to seize the heir has entered the final stage, and several princes intend to use all their strength to eliminate all competitors.

Liuhe Villa can receive the latest news every day. The siblings are watching the development of the situation while adjusting their coping strategies and means.

The Song family's spies fished in troubled waters in the capital, constantly adding fuel to the flames and intensifying the hatred and confrontation between several forces.

Rumors spread everywhere in the imperial city, and the Wu royal family and several powerful officials and nobles gradually lost important authority and prestige in the fight.

The He family widely spread rumors that the second prince was infertile, and even sent people to assassinate and poison his only two sons. In order to completely cut off the Zheng family's hope, Prime Minister He and his daughter also wanted to include several concubine princesses.

Eradicate them all.

The second prince, who had lost his inherited bloodline, went mad with pain and began to carry out destructive revenge on the He family. He killed the widow and bloodline of the eldest prince's house in tit-for-tat, and poisoned the arrogant and domineering fifth prince into a deaf-mute fool.

The Zheng family and the He family formed a bloody feud, and the bloody battle between the two sides gradually swept the entire capital.

In order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of it, both families dragged all forces into the whirlpool of melee.

In the palace, concubines or heirs died innocently every few days, and courtiers in the court often encountered accidents or were hunted down. The common people lived in fear, fearing that they would become cannon fodder and stepping stones for the plots of the powerful.

In just one or two months, several princes died and were injured. Almost no one could escape this treacherous battle. Even if they had long lost the qualification to ascend the throne and become emperor, they still had to fight to the end.

The power to complete a lifelong obsession!

There were five princes under Emperor Yuanfeng. The eldest prince Wu Xuyao ​​was killed by Song Xi in the upheaval in the paddock. The fourth prince Wu Zhongqi and his biological mother Zhao Xianfei died at the hands of the He family. The battle for the right to inherit the throne has come to this day, leaving only childless.

The second prince Wu Zhonglin who inherited the throne, the third prince Wu Zhongwen who was seriously injured and bedridden, and the fifth prince Wu Zhongbin who was deaf, mute and stupid.

In fact, none of the three princes have the qualifications to be emperor. Those who are disabled and have no heirs cannot become the king of the Zhou Dynasty. The hundreds of years of ancestral laws clearly stipulate that as a rule, a suitable bloodline should be selected from the clan's collateral lines.

Come and take over.

However, the mother clan of these princes is very powerful, and their supporters occupy 70% of the court. Even if the Wu clan and other Qingliu raise objections or objections, they will never allow anyone to deprive them of their qualifications as prince.

Neither the He family nor the Zheng family were willing to give up the throne that was within easy reach, and planned to kill their opponents before forcibly declaring themselves emperor. The army that forced them to invade the palace had already been secretly preparing for an attack, preparing to directly enter the forbidden palace when the time came.

In order to prevent other accidents or changes, both families focused their attention on the third prince.

With their eyes red, they suddenly discovered that the brother who claimed to be bedridden seemed to have been dormant for a long time. He was obviously judged to be dead by the Taiyuan Hospital, but he was able to escape from countless plots and raids.

Neither the second prince nor the fifth prince had any heirs to inherit the throne, but the sons of the third prince were still safe and sound. Even if the other prince was weak and dying, as long as his bloodline remained, he would have an absolute advantage in inheriting the throne.

How could the He family and the Zheng family tolerate this oriole lurking behind them? They immediately decided to launch an extermination attack on the third prince's mansion.

But before their actions could be implemented, a series of sudden changes caught the two families off guard.

The spies of the Song family revealed the shocking secrets of the Zheng and He families, completely exposing the ugliness they had hidden for many years. The popularity of the two princes and their mother clan plummeted, and even the courtiers and forces who originally supported them began to

Wavering and hesitating.

——Hey, have you heard? Another scandal was exposed in the He family today! I heard that Concubine He was raising a pretty face in the palace, playing shamelessly every night, even the emperor was seriously ill and dying, but she still had the heart to be with a man

Have fun and have fun!

——What is this? You are too ignorant! Concubine He's face was given to her by the Prime Minister. Didn't Princess Yongning also follow the same pattern and take in a bunch of male concubines? Neither mother nor daughter are good.

Things, kidnapped pregnant women everywhere, killed infants and cannibalized people. I have lived for decades and have never seen such a terrifying and vicious woman!

——Oh my God! How can this be possible? I was just telling you why there are rumors of missing pregnant women in Xicheng from time to time. It turns out that they were all plotted by the poisonous women of the He family. Such monsters should be put to death prematurely. If they continue to be kept, they will only do harm.

The Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

——I would like to say that why there have been constant natural disasters and wars over the years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, it must be because the He family has done too many evil things! We cannot let this evil concubine act so tyrannically again, so we should quickly capture her, set her on fire and execute her!

——The He family is not the only one with the most sinful crimes. The Zheng family is not a good one either! Several princes have been extorting money from various places, forming cliques for personal gain, secretly recruiting troops and plotting rebellions, and killing countless loyal ministers and generals in order to seize the throne. If such a person goes well
Chapter completed!
