After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Prince Zhuang was having a great time at Mount Jiuhua when he was suddenly kidnapped by the secret guards sent by his brother. They didn't even listen to him and tied him up and threw him onto a horse, and then rushed him back to Kyoto at full speed. He didn't even have time to see his princess. He was kidnapped and brought back without knowing the situation. If he hadn't known the secret guard leader Yan Hua, he would have thought someone was trying to kidnap him!

King Zhuang had never been so miserable in his life. In the past few days, not only had he not changed his clothes, he had not even washed his face. He was busy traveling all the time and he could even fall asleep on the bumpy horse.

Prince Zhuang sat on the floor of the Golden Throne Hall without any manners, his hair disheveled and his face tired and aggrieved. "My Royal Brother, what on earth are you doing? Why did you ask them to bring me back?"

Emperor Jingyou looked at his brother in surprise. It was the first time he saw his brother like this, and he couldn't help but feel guilty, "Didn't Yan Hua tell you?"

When this matter was mentioned, His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang's teeth itched with hatred, and his resentment was so strong that he was almost a ball. "That mute didn't say a word except saying that the royal brother wanted to see me when he saw me! Royal brother, how could he do such a thing? I am a prince after all, but he tied me up and threw me on a horse, not letting me sleep. When I said I was hungry, he threw me a piece of hard cake as a rock. How can I eat that?"

Emperor Jingyou looked at his tortured and exhausted brother with a guilty conscience. "Yes, yes, Yan Hua did go a little too far this time. You know his temper. Don't bother with him, my brother. Isn't this also to complete the task I gave him?"

At this point, Prince Zhuang glared at Emperor Jingyou with resentment, "Royal brother, what's the urgent matter that made you have people capture me?"

Emperor Jingyou sighed, his expression solemn. "Alas, Pingliang City has fallen, and the northern border is in danger. The reason why I asked Yan Hua to find you so anxiously is to let you lead an army of 100,000 to the northern border. You must recapture Pingliang City and drive the Xiongnu out of my Daqing territory!"

When Prince Zhuang heard this, he felt even worse. He looked at Emperor Jingyou speechlessly and curiously, "Royal brother, have you been overworked these days? Your brain is not working well. You want me to lead the troops? I'm good at letting people eat, drink and have fun, but forget about letting me lead the troops to fight. I'm afraid you will never see me again."

Emperor Jingyou said sternly, "You are my brother, a prince of the Daqing Dynasty. In times of national crisis, as a prince of the royal family, this is your responsibility!"

King Zhuang sighed, "It's not that my brother doesn't want to. I know my own limitations. Taking him to war is like sending them to their deaths. I really can't do that. Brother, you should find someone else. Any of my nephews would be better than me."

Emperor Jingyou said with a cold face, "This is not up to you. Go back to the palace today, pack up and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning, go to the military camp outside the city and take over the position of commander-in-chief of the army!"

Emperor Jingyou threw down his words, flicked his sleeves and left.

When Prince Zhuang saw that his royal brother was not joking this time, he was also stunned. After reacting, he quickly got up and chased Emperor Jingyou to the imperial study.

The Fifth Prince watched Prince Zhuang howl and disappear after Emperor Jingyou, his eyes flashing with jealousy. He whispered, "Father is really getting old and confused. Am I not as good as this playboy, Uncle Zhuang?"

Everyone in Kyoto knows that Shen Junchen is a little playboy, and Prince Zhuang is an old playboy! When has he ever done anything serious? His father asked him to lead the troops to fight, so is he eager to lose?

A hint of coldness flashed in Shen Mingxiu's eyes. He was not as shallow-minded as the Fifth Prince. His father was very shrewd.

In the past few days, his father should have a clear idea of ​​which ministers belong to whom. Besides, military power is not a joke. Although Prince Zhuang's uncle is a playboy, his greatest advantage is that he does not covet military power. His father does not want the military power to fall into the hands of certain people, so naturally he has to send someone he trusts to take charge of the military power. Although Prince Zhuang does not know how to fight, there are still many people who can fight. It is enough to send a few trustworthy people who can fight to assist Prince Zhuang.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingxiu's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly whispered to the Fifth Prince, "Has there been any news from the northern border in the past few days?"

The fifth prince was startled. "No, it seems that Gu Tingyuan is quite capable. He actually defended Pingliang City."

Shen Mingxiu frowned, thinking, and suddenly looked up, his eyes full of fear, "No! Something is wrong!"

The Fifth Prince looked at Shen Mingxiu in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The more Shen Mingxiu thought about it, the more frightened he became. He muttered to himself, "Something's wrong. This shouldn't be happening. Yanzhou City should have fallen long ago. How could Gu Tingyuan possibly have endured this?"

The Fifth Prince looked at Shen Mingxiu in astonishment, "How did you know that Yanzhou City would fall? What did you do behind my back?"

Shen Mingxiu suddenly raised his head and looked at the gloomy face of the Fifth Prince, then realized that he had let something slip. "Fifth Prince, what are you talking about? I just said it was great that Yanzhou City didn't fall." He felt very insecure, and his smile became much stiffer.

The fifth prince looked at Shen Mingxiu coldly, as if he had just recognized his fourth brother.

At the beginning, he suggested that there was a way to force the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to stand on his side. He had a way to make the two prisoners, Zhu Chengyi and Zheng Honglin, accuse Gu Changyun of falsely reporting military achievements, and then have people create chaos in Pingliang City to make his father suspicious of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. As long as he came to the rescue at this time and helped the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to overcome this crisis, he would definitely make the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion stand on his side.

So when he knew that Pingliang City had fallen, he thought that Shen Mingxiu had done something behind it. Pingliang City just had some troubles, but it was not lost. Now when he heard Shen Mingxiu's words, at this moment, he suddenly realized how terrifying Shen Mingxiu was.

"You told me that Pingliang City hadn't fallen, and that you had someone tamper with the message, but what did you just say? What do you mean by Yanzhou City falling? Shen Mingxiu, what exactly did you do?"

A trace of resentment flashed in Shen Mingxiu's eyes, but his expression was helpless and lamented, "Hey, Fifth Brother, I didn't want to tell you, I received bad news, I did tamper with the message, but, I didn't expect Gu Tingyuan to be so incompetent. Everything we planned was fake, but Pingliang City is really lost in Gu Tingyuan's hands, even, even Yanzhou City will not be able to hold on!"

"What! You, you are talking nonsense! How is it possible! There are 100,000 soldiers in the northern border!" The fifth prince stared at Shen Mingxiu in disbelief.

He wanted to seize the military power of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, but he never thought that he would actually lose the territory. This was different from his plan!
