Shangjing, the capital of Chu State.

It is a good time for spring flowers to bloom. If it were in this time of the past year, we would naturally bring our family and call our friends, travel through the bustling downtown, walk slowly among the bamboo forests, listen to the pleasant birds' singing, and inhal the natural fragrance. We would go around the misty lakeside, the ferry crossing, the mist covers the bamboo, chant peach blossoms lightly, write two articles, recite a few good poems, talented men and beautiful women, the eyebrows and eyes convey feelings, the golden boy and jade girl, chasing and playing, full of a peaceful and prosperous scene.

The iron horses and golden swords on the border are bloody fighting, seemingly too far away from here. In the capital and at the feet of the world, they naturally enjoy the leisurely life brought by this peaceful and prosperous era. They cannot imagine the cruelty that happened in the distance.

But this year, everything changed, the flowers were still bright, the willows were still green, but there was no smile on people's faces. The entire western border army was destroyed, and tens of thousands of Qin troops rushed into Anyang County. With the emergency documents from Anyang County, the whole city immediately became quiet.

Is there another battle to win the country? The older generation still remembers the painful memories of the whole nation fighting for the country's destiny in those years. Decades have passed, but the memories that I thought had been forgotten were revealed again, and the memories made reality fade. Once a war breaks out, everything that I once had will be as vague as smoke and clouds, and will instantly turn into nothing.

The 60,000 army was destroyed, and no general commander was born. For hundreds of years, the Chu people had never encountered such a painful failure. Everyone looked at the majestic and glorious palace in Jingdong City, where there were people who determined the fate of the Great Chu.

Yang Yihe walked on the imperial road of the imperial city. Even though the country had just suffered a great defeat and the court was in chaos, he still stood upright with his hands on his back, and walked majestic. As the left prime minister of the Great Chu and the first person under the emperor, he must maintain this kind of demeanor, giving the people below him a sense of confidence.

It was just a defeat on the frontier! At the meeting of ministers in the morning, he said lightly that it would not fall into the sky. But the ease on the surface could deceive others, but it could not let him relieve his doubts. This defeat came too strangely.

The change in the plan of the Western Frontier Army's expedition began with the mole being dug out of the Ministry of War. The second prince led all the actions this time, from catching the mole to finding the results and making plans. It was not until the last moment that he, the left prime minister who was responsible for the operation of the country, was told that it was precisely because of the secret and reliability of the plan and the extremely successful nature that he supported this action.

But the result now is completely opposite to Xu Yi's. It seems that from the beginning, this was a huge trap. The Qin people dug a big hole, and then the Chu people jumped in without hesitation.

Is this true? Yang Yihe Baisi was puzzled. In the short term, it was indeed a great victory for Qin, the Qin State, but in the long term, it was difficult to determine. Especially when the Qin people annihilated the western border troops and the western branches of Chu State opened up, they were stranded in Anyang County. It seemed that they were only satisfied with looting Anyang County without any other requirements. Even Anyang City was not moved, which was even more confusing.

Yang Yihe sighed, rubbed his temples, but looked around alertly. He didn't want people to see his depressed state. Now it seems that the Qin people had no intention of a big fight, which made him feel relieved. Compared to the defeat on the frontier, the chaos in the court made him even more uneasy.

The battle between His Highness and the Second Prince reached its peak after the defeat on the frontier. Everyone knows that the Western Frontier Army is the power of the Second Prince, and Zuo Lixing is a hard-core supporter of the Second Prince. Now, the Western Frontier Army is gone. On the day when the news came, the Second Prince was so angry that he vomited blood. He slapped the prince in the emperor's bedroom. The two dignified royal nobles actually fought in front of the emperor.

Yang Yihe was not at the scene at that time. According to the news he later received, it was the second prince who suspected that His Highness the Crown Prince had betrayed the western border army. This made Yang Yihe feel a little incredible and intuitively felt that this was completely impossible. All the plans were controlled by the second prince, and even the left prime minister was only known at the last moment, let alone His Highness the Crown Prince. I believe the second prince would definitely try his best to hide it from His Highness the Crown Prince. From the perspective of time, even if His Highness knew about this, it would be impossible to do such a thing that both human and gods were angry.

You know, it is not something that can be done in a short period of time for Qin to mobilize the Thunder Army to the Luoying Mountains. The second prince was so angry that he lost Zuo Lixing, the great master and the 60,000 border troops in the west, which was definitely a fatal blow to him.

The emperor's body is getting worse and worse. His Highness the Crown Prince is careful. As long as he does not make mistakes, the emperor will not be able to find his handle and make it easy for him. How could he destroy his future like this? Yi Chu is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country. As for Yang Yihe, he actually doesn't want Yi Chu. The second prince is sharp, but His Highness is round and gentle. In comparison, he prefers His Highness the Crown Prince. Of course, as the left prime minister of the dynasty and the first person under the emperor, he must maintain his neutral attitude, otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor will not be happy, and his position as the left prime minister will end.

The emperor's bedroom was close to him. Yang Yihe's straight waist was much hunched, and the smile on his face gradually faded away. Instead, he was wearing a deep pain expression and walked towards the bedroom step by step.

"Brother-in-law!" In front of the bedroom gate, Yang Yihe greeted Qin Yi, the eunuch who was waiting in front of the door.

"The Left Prime Minister is here!" Qin Yi bent over, "Please wait, Your Majesty is talking to Commander An."

Yang Yihe nodded, "Your Majesty is so strong?"

Qin Yi showed a painful expression on his face: "Your Majesty is not very good at all, and this is the case again. How can you get better? You have been bedridden these days. Fortunately, you are more energetic today, so you summoned Zuo Xiang into the palace."

"Is it okay for your Majesty to eat?"

"I drank a bowl of rice porridge in the morning, and just got a small bowl of rice and ate some vegetables." Qin Yi whispered, "Mr. An Da just came in, and I don't know what he said, but His Majesty actually got angry and even smashed his favorite teacup."

Yang Yihe was slightly surprised. An Ruhai was the commander of the inner guard and the only minister who could meet the emperor directly without reporting. On the emperor's trust ranking list, he must firmly be ahead of him. What did this commander who controls the inner guard and the security of the capital say that made the emperor so angry?

He leaned slightly and leaned towards Qin Yi. A silver note was stuffed into Qin Yi's hands without hesitation: "Can you hear me?"

Qin Yiji naturally put away the silver bill, and withdrew his hand, the silver bill had disappeared from his hand. It seemed that he had practiced this movement thousands of times. Of course, as the most favored eunuch around the emperor, he had to do such movements several times every day, but fewer people from the left prime minister in front of him. The person in front of him didn't have to curry favor with him at all.

After receiving the silver notes, Qin Yi smiled a little more, and his voice was extremely low: "It seems to be related to the two princes."

Yang Yihe felt a little sad. The matter related to the two princes must be the big defeat in front of him. For him, he would rather have lost the defeat because of Zuo Lixing's command, rather than other reasons. Especially when there was a problem with these two people, at this critical moment, it would kill people.

"Thank you, my father-in-law."

"I dare not. Yang Xiang should be careful." Qin Yi lowered his head and retreated to the door.
