Chapter 195: The Fall of the South

...

The midsummer season has passed, and when the autumnal equinox has just entered, news of the emperor's death has been heard.

Yan'an is mourning and looks forward to the arrival of the next new era.

During the reign of the emperor, it is not said that Nan Yan was brought to his heyday. Compared with the time of the late emperor and Nan Yan, he was not a meritorious emperor.

He did not receive the emperor's personal edict, but the crown prince was the only crown prince and should have inherited the throne of heaven.

After the emperor's funeral, the ministers wrote letters to the crown prince to prepare for the ascension of the throne by the Ministry of Rites, and the country should not be without a master for a day.

But His Highness the Crown Prince just wore a mourning uniform and guarded the emperor's tablet for a long time. He even had a court meeting.

Everyone guessed that perhaps it was because the emperor passed away and the prince was overly worried.

The third prince is much better. Since the emperor's death, he has helped to handle all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.

The crown prince and the third prince are both able to take over the beginning of the next dynasty, which is the luckiest thing for the people. After the crown prince ascended the throne, the third prince can also be granted the title of prince.

People seem to have forgotten the consequences of the prince Rong He killing the ministers during his reign and suppressing the Bai family.

I just remember that it seems that now it is a peaceful place to enjoy peace and the people live and work in peace, which is enough.

At the same time, an astonishing bad news came from the south - for some reason, all the guards at the city gate were withdrawn, resulting in a big loophole in many cities in the south.

The south is a confidential military place and has been the place with the most and strictest troops in history.

Within two days, the surrounding small countries had already received the news, believing that there were serious problems within the Southern Yan Dynasty.

So they sent troops to attack from the south.

This is like a fishing mesh. Once the hole is broken, there will be continuous fish gushing out, and the loopholes in the mesh will become bigger and bigger, and it will be out of control until all the fish in the mesh wander.

It was too late to investigate the reasons behind this. General Guo Qing and General Duoluo asked the prince to give him military talismans overnight, and they needed to lead their troops to the south immediately.

"It's too dangerous there. You are important officials of the court, so stay at home."

The voice of His Royal Highness slowly came from behind the dark screen in the hall.

Such perfunctory and cold words made Guo Qing and General Duoluo immediately angry, and they didn't know what the crown prince was thinking.

They made a vow in great angrily to defend Nan Yan!

Then he left the palace with full of passion and took only the personal guards from his family and rushed all the way to the south.

This was clearly an act of death. General Guo Qing and General Doro were indispensable generals in the court, and they were also pillars of the war.

After knowing that the two generals had not brought the soldiers and soldiers from the court, they rushed to the south. The censors could not sit still and submitted them one by one. Some people even went to the Marquis' Mansion and wanted to ask Marquis Bai, who had been sick for a long time, to come out to take charge of the overall situation.

They didn't know what the Crown Prince was thinking, and even if they were too mourning, there should be a limit.

Someone saw the third prince Rong Sheng and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Rong Sheng also replied with the same expression, "I don't know."

A few days later, bad news came from the battle in the south.

General Guo Qing and General Doro were defeated by the enemy and were seriously injured. They commanded the remaining remaining soldiers and could only resist for two or three days.

The enemy infiltrated from the south and attacked many cities.

This news made more small countries around him know that they would definitely not let go of the fat meat in front of them.

It seemed like a flood was surging, and it was out of control.

...

The prince finally came to the court.

The black embroidered gold four-clawed python robe was ironed flat and clean, and the beads on their heads were shining brightly in the morning light.

When he appeared in Jin'an Hall, he didn't look tired, and there was a faint sense of inexplicable excitement.

Some of them walked into the high position lazyly and stood next to the dragon throne.

One step away, but he did not go any further.

When I saw the prince, many people were full of their hearts and they would not feel happy if they didn't vomit.

They didn't care about holding Yugui and talking in an orderly manner. This was the time when the Southern Yan Dynasty survived!

There are many words and confusions, one after another.

Just like the women and children in the noisy market, they opened their voices and looked exaggerated and frightened, as if the sky would collapse in the next second.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the country must not be without a master for a day. Since the emperor has passed away, your highness, as the crown prince, should ascend the throne as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, the current disaster in the south is the life and death of Nan Yan. If your Highness still doesn't recover and wake up, I'm afraid General Guo Qing and General Duoluo will die in the south!"

"We should send troops to fight as soon as possible when the enemy attacks. Now that the two generals are not here, Your Highness should send General Wan Qing and Marquis Bai who are good at commanding. We must not make the situation worse!"

Rong He looked at the ugly and worried look of the people below with cold eyes.

He did not change his face from beginning to end, and even a smile gradually emerged.

After a long time, he was tired, so he asked the eunuch to hand him a cup of tea.

When the ministers calmed down, they could just hear the sound of the cup lids in Rong He's hands colliding.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the prince foolishly.

Rong He drank a sip of tea, looked at one of the censors who had just spoken, and sneered: "General Wanqing? I remember that since General Wanqing was born, those who said she was an ominous thing and a broom star and tried their best to urge the emperor not to send her troops. It seems that you are the ones? Why did you think of a 'bright star' when you were alive and dead?"

The censor didn't expect the prince to use this to block him, and he stuttered for a moment.

Tao Mingrui of Dali Temple rushed out of these noisy crowds and asked loudly: "Does Your Highness the Crown Prince know why all the guards in the south will withdraw? Is it your Highness's order?"

When the emperor recovered the military talismans from all the generals and ministers, the generals and ministers guarding Yan'an City had no military talismans.

In other words, he does not have the ability to dispatch troops.

The emperor has always been the command of the soldiers guarding the city in the south.

So the only one who could move was the crown prince who was taught the military talisman by the emperor.

Everyone also questioned the prince according to Tao Mingrui's question.

But Rong He maintained the same expression from beginning to end, and even the smile on the corner of his mouth was deserted.

He put down the teacup and glanced at the angle of the morning light.

"Let's get off the door." Rong He ordered the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch walked out of Jin'an Hall, as if he had executed some order.

"What is Your Highness the Crown Prince going to do?" Tao Mingrui had a very bad premonition.
