A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

When the emperor appointed Liang Jingsui, Prince Xiao'an, as the vanguard general, all the court officials were stunned.

Although Prince Xiao An had been on the battlefield, he had never been a general, and his wife was about to give birth, so it seemed inappropriate for him to go to war at this time. There were many military generals in the court, and sending a prince to fight, although his status could boost morale, many people also doubted Liang Jingsui's strength.

This battle is particularly important.

In fact, it was precisely because of the importance of this battle that the emperor chose Prince An Liang Jing to go on the expedition.

Generally speaking, in order to boost morale, the emperor would choose to lead the army in person. But now the emperor has no crown prince, so it is not convenient for him to lead the army in person. The position of crown prince is vacant. The most prestigious person is Prince An, the emperor's nephew. Moreover, he is the son of Prince An, who was once the god of war. In terms of status and identity, he is naturally the best candidate.

When Lin Qingyang knew that Prince An was going to go to war, she was extremely worried. Pregnant women were already emotionally unstable, and now she was even more anxious.

Before leaving, Prince Xiao An and Lin Qingyang had a long conversation all night.

"Qing'er, you should stay at home and take good care of your pregnancy. I will ask Princess Qi to come to the mansion often. I will leave Wang Shun at the mansion for this expedition, and you can take him with you when you go out."

Little Prince An gave instructions, and Lin Qingyang listened carefully while helping Little Prince An pack his clothes.

It is just the beginning of autumn and the weather has not yet turned cool, it is still hot and humid. The direction of the war this time is the south, and the clothes Lin Qingyang prepared for King Xiao An are all light and thin. However, he doesn't know how long their war will last, so he still put thick clothes in the box. The winter in the south is also very cold, and it is difficult for northerners to adapt to the cold for a while.

Lin Qingyang was constantly busy because she was "panicked". She didn't want Prince Xiao An to go to the battlefield, but the matter was not up to her alone, so she could only make logistical preparations.

Prince An felt very distressed when he saw her, but there were some things he shouldn't say too much about.

The day before Prince Xiao An set off, Lin Qingyang put a book in his luggage. It was a book on military strategy that they found when they went to Jiangnan that year. It came in handy at this time.

Prince Xiao An briefly explained the arrangements in the mansion to Lin Qingyang and analyzed the situation in the court to reassure her.

Prince Xiao An is responsible for defending the country on the battlefield, and Lin Qingyang only needs to stay at home honestly. Managing the prince's mansion is no small matter.

The imperial court had prepared plenty of food and fodder, and it seemed that the emperor had also made preparations in advance.

Although the team was divided into two parts, they were heading in the same direction when leaving the city. According to the tactical strategy, Prince Xiao An should have advanced with General Yang and then joined up with General Wang.

On the one hand, fighting requires the bravery of soldiers, and on the other hand, the logistics of the court also need to keep up. The money and food of Jin State used to rely on the support of the Wang sisters. This time, Duke Qing gave the country a lot of gold and silver. This money is actually the gold and silver in the treasure that the emperor has been looking for.

Who doesn't want to live a happy life in a peaceful country.

While there was war in the front, the emperor in the rear was not idle either. After the war started, the amount of affairs he had to deal with every day doubled.

Things in the court gradually stabilized, and the emperor finally remembered his son, the former crown prince, Liang Jingquan.

The prince rebelled, and the emperor was angry, but after all, he was his own son, whom he had raised for more than 20 years. However, things had developed to such a point that no one would let him go easily. Who could guarantee that releasing the prince would not be like letting a tiger go back to the mountains?

But during this period of time, the prince has been left out in the cold. The emperor has too many things to do. The prince knows that he is guilty of a capital crime, but he can't wait for trial or punishment. You say he has hope, but no one cares about him. If he is dying, it is because no one cares about him.

On this day, the emperor wore casual clothes and secretly came to the prison accompanied by Duke Qing and the chief judge.

The official guarding the cell naturally had never seen the emperor, but he knew that the person imprisoned in the cell was the prince, who was imprisoned by the emperor's own order because of his failed rebellion. These officials did not dare to beat or scold him, nor did they dare to flatter him. They just did their daily work and watched out for the annoyances. They did not even dare to speak.

In the dark cell, the emperor was still wearing the hat on his clothes. Duke Qing and the presiding judge were very respectful to him. The officials with good eyesight naturally knew that this person was of high status. But they didn't think much about it.

The prince's cell was relatively "secluded" and there would be no "outsiders" around. The jailer opened the cell door and went down. The emperor and others entered the prince's cell. The prince had not spoken to outsiders for a long time, and when he saw the emperor and others, he was "very excited."

Although the prince was imprisoned in a cell, he still knew etiquette and knew that he was alive only because the emperor spared his life.

"Your son pays homage to His Majesty, Father." After performing the kowtow ceremony, he knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

The chief judge who came with the emperor placed a cushion for the emperor, who sat down. Then Duke Qing and the chief judge also sat down.

There was a small table in the cell, on which the presiding judge spread out the writing brush and ink he had brought with him. It seemed that these people were here to interrogate the prince today.

"I ask the questions and you write them." The emperor looked at the presiding judge.

"Yes." The chief judge said and prepared to start recording.

Duke Qing was listening on the side.

"Rebellious son Jingquan, how did you know when I went to the Duke of Qing's mansion, and how did you get the information about the common prince?"

When the emperor asked questions, his eyes were full of contempt at Liang Jingquan who was not far away.

"Your Majesty, the news about the prince from the people has spread in the capital. That day when I went to my mother's palace, she also confirmed the possibility of the existence of a son. I didn't expect that the news would come so quickly after sending people to inquire. But now it seems that it was all done on purpose by my father. You set a trap and I jumped into it. If my father is satisfied with his son, how could he want to look for a prince from the people!"

As the prince spoke, his tone was full of self-mockery.

"Oh, you never doubted it. The information is so easy to get. Aren't you afraid of fraud?"

The prince shook his head and said, "I am stupid. I never thought that this was fake. I was just anxious and wanted to kill the prince who showed up so that I could avoid being deposed. Who knew it was a trap?"

"I want to ask, was the expert beside your father that day the prince or a martial arts expert that your father deliberately brought with him?"

The emperor did not give a direct answer, but just looked at him and smiled, then asked: "Do you think you will be safe if you kill that commoner prince? Are you sure that I only have you two sons?"

After hearing this, the prince looked up suddenly. The emperor's words seemed to be saying, "It's no use even if you kill one!"

The prince trembled slightly, looked up and asked the emperor, "So, what father sent that day was just a bait, right?"

The emperor leaned forward slightly and looked at the prince, "My son, in fact, there is no such thing as a common prince, because I do have another son, but he has always been by my side, and you know him."

The prince kept mumbling, "Could it be him? Could it be him?"
