On the second day after the Qi-Liang coalition retreated, Chu Yan received a letter from An Huajin.
Apparently before she wrote the letter, she had guessed the intention of the Qi and Liang Allied Forces to retreat, so that he did not have to chase the Qi and Liang Allied Forces with their troops and horses, because the Qi and Liang Allied Forces were better at fighting in the field. If the Mobei Army pursued them, they would disappear.
It's better to be able to get it, and when the Qi-Liang coalition forces separate and return to Nanliang and Nanqi respectively, she and Wang Anzhi can take care of it.
She asked Chu Yan to take 300,000 Nanyang troops to Nanyang and lead troops from Nanyang to assist her in attacking the capital of Nanliang.
She also said in the letter that she asked King Zhenbei and Su Han to take the remaining 200,000 Mobei Army and 100,000 Wang Anzhi's troops to support Wang Anzhi.
Before he could ask, his cousin had already arranged the way.
Therefore, after Chu Yan received this letter, he did not wait for Chu Xian's letter and ordered Anping to "leave Mobei immediately and set off back to Nanyang."
Anping couldn't wait any longer, and was waiting for the day to withdraw his troops so that he could go to the battlefield with the little princess. He immediately agreed, saying that he would be able to order his troops and set off in an hour.
At this time, King Zhenbei also knew Chu Yan's plan, and was shocked. He tried his best to persuade him to stay, "His Royal Highness, you are the legitimate son, and it is natural for you to ascend the throne. You have great reputation in the government and the public. How can you...how do you have this?"
The idea of abandoning all nations?"
King Zhenbei almost knelt down in front of Chu Yan. He didn't want to take the blame for not being able to retain the prince.
Chu Yan helped King Zhenbei up and said to him, "My eldest brother is the elder. It is a matter of etiquette and law for him to ascend the throne. It is a matter of course. My eldest brother is more generous and kind than me. His presence is a blessing to the country. The burden of the emperor is too heavy."
, I feel disgusted in my heart, I am afraid that if I do not do well, I will not be as caring as my elder brother. And if I go to Nanyang, it is not abandoning all the people. When the war comes, I will take my cousin's place. I am half of Anjia's blood, so I should shoulder the responsibility.
, my cousin and Gu Qingyan can also live harmoniously and beautifully, and they don’t have to be tied to the Nanyang Army."
The King of Zhenbei sighed repeatedly. He had already heard Su Han say it. Now that Chu Yan had said it again, he had obviously decided to leave. With his own strength, he could not stop the Crown Prince from going to Nanyang. He could only
I sighed and gave up.
Since ancient times, brothers have been fighting in the same room. In his whole life, he has never seen two brothers from the Tian family like this. There are also cousins like this, paving the way for each other.
Therefore, the King of Zhenbei could only send Chu Yan away and said goodbye with tears.
Su Han said, "Is Nanyang really that good? I asked His Highness to give up the throne and want to go. When the war breaks out, I will go and have a look."
"It's not necessarily how good Nanyang is, but Nanyang is the way back to where my heart is." Chu Yan smiled, his usual indifference and coldness gone, and he was looking forward to a prosperous future.
Su Han nodded and cupped his hands, "Your Highness, take care!"
"Take care!"
Chu Yan and Anping returned to Nanyang with 300,000 Nanyang troops. Since they never left the city to fight, the Qi-Liang coalition attacked the city. It can be said that neither the Mobei army nor the Nanyang army suffered much loss.
After Chu Yan left, Su Han asked King Zhenbei, "Father, when will we send troops to Northern Qi?"
"Waiting for Wang Anzhi's letter." Zhenbei Wang said, "He made a bet with the little princess, and we also have to see his arrangements. If he and the little princess have already communicated through letters, then the little princess's letter has arrived, and his
The letter should be arriving soon."
Su Han nodded.
Sure enough, in less than half a day, Mobei waited for a letter from Wang Anzhi, who asked them to organize their troops and go to Yanyu Pass. Now Wang Anzhi has reached Yanyu Pass in Southern Qi.
After the King of Zhenbei received the letter, he immediately ordered it to go down and get ready to go.
Before setting off, King Zhenbei received another letter from Chu Xian, urging Chu Yan to return to the capital. He read the letter for a long time and sighed to Su Han, "This is the eleventh letter."
Su Han scratched his head and said, "Father, please tell His Highness the truth!"
"I don't need to tell you, His Highness the Crown Prince's letter should be arriving in the capital soon." King Zhenbei sighed, "I'd better write a letter and say that I didn't stop His Highness the Crown Prince."
"That's right, His Highness the Crown Prince has made up his mind, and Princess An has paved the way for him. How can he stop His Highness now?" Su Han said, "When I met the Princess in the capital, she only talked about the three hundred thousand soldiers.
The horses were sent to reinforce Mobei, and the rest were not exposed at all. If His Highness the Crown Prince had not told us, we would not have known that the little princess had paved the way for His Highness the Crown Prince's withdrawal so early."
"It's true..." King Nanyang didn't know what to say, so he finally said, "As expected of the An family."
Just as the King of Zhenbei expected, on this day, after the news came that Qi Liang had failed and retreated from Mobei, Chu Xian received a letter from Chu Yan before Chu Xian could be overjoyed.
In the letter, Chu Yan first recalled his childhood with Chu Xian, and then mentioned the unpleasant things he had been taught by his father for so many years. Finally, he said sincerely and sincerely that he had no interest in the throne, and even in his heart
I am tired of it. I have long wanted to entrust the country and the country to my eldest brother, but I am afraid that my eldest brother will refuse to enter the court. Therefore, I have no choice but to make this move. I hope that my eldest brother will forgive my younger brother for asking him to take over the throne and show his grand ambitions.<
/p>
After Chu Xian received it, he was stunned. Not only was he shocked, he was also extremely angry, and his face was blue with anger.
He is a person who doesn't get angry easily. Even when Gu Qingyan left the capital for a month and the aristocratic families counterattacked and threatened him, he only had a sullen face and was angry in his heart, but it was not as angry as this.
It was clear that the seventh brother had agreed to ask for his assistance, so why now did he regret it and pass the throne to him?
Chu Xian angrily walked back and forth in the study eight times, but failed to calm himself down. He said angrily, "Come here, go and ask Mr. Gu."
Someone thought so and went immediately.
Chu Yan not only wrote a letter to Chu Xian, but also wrote a letter to Gu Qingyan at the same time. At the same time, he also passed on the Crown Prince's edict, which went directly to the six ministries of the cabinet.
Gu Qingyan's letter was written much more simply by Chu Yan, asking him to persuade his eldest brother and push him to ascend the throne as soon as possible. The last sentence was to get rid of his cousin-in-law.
Okay, let’s talk about this last sentence. How could Gu Qingyan not respond?
So, he put down the letter and went to the First Prince's Mansion.
The eldest prince's face was dark. When he saw Gu Qingyan coming, he stared at him and asked, "Huai'an, do you know what the seventh brother has been planning all along?"
Gu Qingyan said without changing her expression, "I just found out."
Chu Xian looked at his forehead suspiciously, "Don't fool me."
Gu Qingyan paused for a moment, feeling a little guilty, but still very calm, "I really just found out."
"I don't believe it." Chu Xiandao.
Gu Qingyan is so smart, how could he just know it? Although Chu Yan didn't say a word in Chu Yan's letter that it was An Huajin's handiwork or Gu Qingyan's indulgence, he still felt that when Chu Yan led troops to Mobei
, it must not have been a sudden move, it must have been for this day, he did not even return to the capital, but went directly from Mobei to Nanyang. Otherwise, he did not need to go to Mobei personally in the first place, as he, as a prince, could still stabilize the morale of the army. Gu Qingyan coughed and said, "Okay, I vaguely guessed it, but guessing can't be accurate for things like this."
Chu Xian was going crazy, "Gu Huaian!"
Gu Qingyan rarely lost his momentum and took a step back, "Your Highness, please calm down."
"Calm down, calm down, I'll calm down." Chu Xian never swore, and this was the first time for Gu Qingyan to hear him curse someone in anger.
Gu Qingyan rubbed his brows and persuaded, "His Royal Highness really hates the palace, the throne, the capital, and the court."
He mentioned four dislikes in a row, and sighed, "As for your highness, if you don't dislike it, just focus on this, and you can be a good king."
"He can do it well too!" Chu Xian said, "He will be better than me."
The eldest prince does not think that he is stronger than his seventh brother. Over the years, he has withstood many attacks from swords and swords in the position of the legitimate son, but he still stands firm. If not for this, he would not have thought so much before.
Later it disappeared and I sincerely wanted to help him.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will do well, but he hates it from the bottom of his heart. There is no guarantee that he will be able to do well in this position for the rest of his life." Gu Qingyan said to Chu Yan, "Cousin husband," and tried his best to persuade him, and what he said was that besides Anhua, he
Jinwai would not say good things to anyone, "His Royal Highness and His Highness the Crown Prince have a deep brotherly relationship. His Highness the Crown Prince has entrusted us with the country. It is also because of this brotherly love that he chose His Highness. It is also because he believes that His Highness can do a good job. With you here,
Only then can he take a step back, step out of the capital, and take a path that he has always wanted to take and can achieve his wish."
"Your Highness cares about His Highness the Crown Prince, so he took on this responsibility. It's all right." Gu Qingyan looked at Chu Xian and said, "In addition, Your Highness was taught by the Queen. In order to repay your love for your mother, you love and care for me."
Brother, if you take over, the Queen will be very pleased."
Chu Xian laughed angrily, "Gu Huaian! You really know how to be a lobbyist!"
Gu Qingyan rubbed her nose, sighed, and said with a smile, "Aren't I going to marry someone else's cousin who I haven't married yet? I have to please my cousin first."
Chu Xian snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "No! I'll go to Nanyang myself and capture him."
