Qiu Zhen asked curiously: "Do you have anything else to do tomorrow, Your Majesty?"
Tang Yin said: "Since you have decided to move to Shangjing, of course you have to choose a location. The palace has to choose a location, and so does your official residence."
Qiu Zhen asked: "Does the king really think that the imperial court should be moved to Shangjing?"
Tang Yin took a deep breath and said meaningfully: "The move of the capital to the south is the general trend. Even if we don't do it now, we will have to do it later. Rather than leaving trouble in the future, it is better to complete it now."
Qiu Zhen asked no more questions. Since it was something that the king had already decided, it would be useless no matter how much he said. Moreover, the king was right. From now on, the focus of the Feng Kingdom would definitely be on the Sichuan Kingdom, and the capital would be moved south.
It is also the general trend.
The next day, Tang Yin took a group of civil and military ministers from the Feng Kingdom to visit various places in Beijing to choose a location. It took five days just to select a location for the palace.
The ministers also have differences on the specific location of the palace. Some ministers believe that the palace should be closer to the palace. First, they can control the emperor nearby. Second, they can also create the illusion that the king and the emperor are close. Others think the palace should be closer.
The main purpose of staying away from the palace is to avoid suspicion and not to leave the impression that the king wants to keep pace with the emperor.
Tang Yin carefully analyzed the opinions of the ministers and finally decided to make a compromise and set the location of the palace on the north side of the palace. It was not far from the palace, but not close either. Its size was roughly the same as that of Zhenjiang Palace.
After choosing the address of the palace, in the next few days, the ministers of Feng Kingdom selected locations for their respective official residences, while Tang Yin toured the surrounding areas of Shangjing. The capital was to be moved south, except for him and the main ministers of Feng Kingdom.
In addition to Shangjing, the various legions of Feng Kingdom also had to move to Shangjing.
The Central Army of the Feng Kingdom has millions of people and more than ten legions. For such a large number of armies to be stationed in the Shangjing area, many military camps need to be built, and the land for each legion's farmland must be divided. All of this has to be decided by Tang Yin himself.
.
At this time, on the surface, the capital of the Feng Kingdom was still Zhenjiang, but in fact, the move to move the capital to Shangjing had already begun in full swing.
Compared with the planned and step-by-step secret relocation of the capital of Feng Kingdom, Sichuan Kingdom seemed much more chaotic. In the battle between the three counties in northern Sichuan, Buying led his army to successfully repel the invading Feng army, but this victory did not allow Sichuan to win.
The struggle for power in the imperial court stopped, but became more intense.
Buying was assigned by Xiao Xiang to go to the three counties in northern Sichuan to fight against the Feng Army. Xiao Xiang was undoubtedly the one who contributed the most to the victory in this battle, which greatly increased her prestige in Sichuan.
But at the same time, she also aroused the jealousy of her brothers and sisters, and caused many Xiao royal families to end their disputes and instead unite together to deal with her alone.
Xiao Xiang had never expected that such a situation would occur. She felt helpless, sad, and even more angry. For the sake of the throne that should belong to her, her brothers and sisters all regarded her as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh.
, not only unhappy, but even to the point of hysteria.
Although many of Xiao's disciples have joined forces, Xiao Xiang still has a big advantage, that is, the senior commanders in the army are all leaning towards her, such as Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lu You,
Generals Buying.
It is precisely because of these commanders who support Xiao Xiang and those young masters who want to eradicate Xiao Xiang that the princesses do not dare to blatantly attack her.
On this day, Xiao Xiang was practicing calligraphy in the study when a servant came in and reported: "Princess, someone from the Ninth Young Master's Mansion wants to see the princess."
"Brother Rong?" Xiao Xiang was startled. Among her brothers and sisters, she was still very close to the Ninth Young Master Xiao Rong.
First of all, their mothers are biological sisters, and their relationship is naturally unparalleled. Secondly, Xiao Xiang is eight years older than Xiao Rong. It can be said that she has watched Xiao Rong grow up. She treats Xiao Rong as a person.
A younger brother from the same father and mother.
"Invite someone to meet me in the study." Xiao Xiang nodded to the servant who came to report the news.
"Yes! Princess!" the servant agreed and left quickly. Not long after, a young man of fifteen or six years old, dressed as a book boy, was brought in by the servant. When the young man saw Xiao Xiang, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and said:
"The little man meets the fifth princess."
Xiao Xiang is very familiar with Xiao Rong, and is no stranger to his book boy. She smiled slightly, waved her hand and said, "Jian Ming, why are you here? But Ninth Brother has something to see me?"
The book boy nodded repeatedly and said: "Young Master just received a batch of crabs caught from Nanhu Lake this morning. Knowing that Your Highness the Princess always likes to eat, I sent a servant to invite the Princess to have a meal at your residence."
"That's it." Xiao Xiang smiled and nodded. In this sensitive period, the only one who dared to contact her was her ninth brother. She sighed in her heart and said to the bookboy: "Jianming, you go back and tell your ninth brother, I am at noon
past."
"Yes! Princess, the villain resigns!"
"Well, let's go!"
Watching the book boy leave, Xiao Xiang's face showed a happy smile. At this time, Xing Yuan, one of her personal guards, walked in from outside, came to Xiao Xiang's side, and whispered: "Your Highness, Ninth Young Master has not been here for a long time."
Please, I’m not going to invite you late, but I want to invite you to dinner at this juncture, because I’m afraid that...” He didn’t finish his words, but the meaning was already clear.
Xiao Xiang glanced at Xing Yuan dissatisfied and asked: "Do you think Brother Rong will harm me again?"
"Your Highness, people's hearts are separated from each other, so we have to be on guard. I also ask Your Highness to put down the banquet to prevent any unexpected events." Xing Yuan said seriously.
“Mr.
, I still have some confidence." Xiao Xiang said confidently. Then seeing that Xing Yuan wanted to speak, she waved her hand and interrupted: "Okay, there is no need to persuade me anymore, not to mention, it is Nanhu now.
When the crabs are ripe, wouldn’t it be appropriate for Brother Rong to invite me to eat crab roe at this time?”
Xing Yuan sighed secretly. It seemed that it was impossible to dissuade the princess. He had to be more careful.
At noon that day, Xiao Xiang went to the appointment on time, and under the protection of many guards, came to Xiao Rong's Ninth Young Master's Mansion.
The size of the Ninth Young Master's Mansion is similar to that of Xiao Xiang's Fifth Princess's Mansion, and even the internal layout is almost exactly the same. To put it bluntly, the Ninth Young Master's Mansion was originally built based on the Fifth Princess' Mansion.
Xiao Rong is eight years younger than Xiao Xiang. He is only seventeen years old this year. He has thin skin and tender flesh. He has delicate features and beautiful eyes. He is only a little taller than Xiao Xiang. He is about the same weight loss as Xiao Xiang. He is very fragile. You can tell he is rich at a glance.
His young master, young master.
When he learned that Xiao Xiang was coming, Xiao Rong personally welcomed him out of the Ninth Young Master's Mansion. After seeing Xiao Xiang, he ran forward with a smile on his face, took Xiao Xiang's hand and said, "Fifth sister, can you let me wait easily?"
ah!"
It can be said that Xiao Rong is the only young master who can make Xiao Xiang feel brotherly love. She took Xiao Rong's hand, looked him up and down, frowned and said, "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and Brother Rong has lost weight again."
Some, haven’t you eaten well these past few days?”
Even though Xiao Rong has grown up and has his own young master's mansion, Xiao Xiang still regards him as a child in his mind.
Xiao Rong's eyes widened and he said seriously: "I had a good meal. If you don't believe me, ask them..." As he spoke, he turned around and winked at the book boys behind him. Seeing this, the book boys nodded hurriedly.
.
How could his evil intentions hide from Xiao Xiang's eyes? She shook her head helplessly, and while pulling Xiao Rong towards the house, she said: "My father just died of illness, and my mother and aunt are devastated. You and I can't
I don’t want to make my mother and aunt* sad anymore.”
Hearing this, Xiao Rong's eyes suddenly turned red. He bit his lips and nodded silently. Seeing his sad look, Xiao Xiang felt a pang in his heart. She raised her hand to hold his hair, changed the topic and asked: "Recently?"
Does Brother Rong have something to send to Brother Wang and the others?"
(ps: I have been catching a cold these past few days, my whole body aches, and I have severe dizziness. Updates may not be timely. Please be considerate to book friends. I originally planned to finish two chapters today, but I really can’t continue writing. It’s so cold.
I’m shaking all over, and I want to say sorry to everyone.)
