Chapter 6: The Calamity of Millennium Rumors

Princess Zhaohua Min Ruoxi placed the exquisite porcelain cup in her hand on the mahogany table table in front of her. Her long eyelashes blinked and looked at Guo Ziling sitting on one side, "Old Guo, what is the chance of winning in this battle between the Western Frontier Army?"

Guo Jiuling smiled and nodded and said, "Your Highness Princess, don't worry. This battle will definitely be foolproof. I'm afraid that Western Qin is still complacent about their moles in our high-ranking leadership. Moreover, the information sent back by this mole is true and credible. I'm afraid they never expected that this person had been captured by us. Once the Western Frontier Army wins this time, the Second Prince will definitely have a big rise in momentum. Now the Eastern Frontier Army of His Highness's Eastern Frontier Army is defeated in the confrontation with Dongqi. If the Western Frontier Army wins this time, the two will be judged! I believe that the Libra in the King's heart will be tilted a little bit towards the Second Prince again."

Listening to Guo Jiuling's words, Min Ruoxi's brows frowned, and a look of disgust flashed in her beautiful eyes. The prince's eldest brother Min Ruocheng and the second brother Min Ruoying, the struggle over the years has become increasingly fierce. In the court, civil officials who support the prince's eldest brother have the upper hand, but in the army, the second brother Min Ruoying is more powerful. Moreover, the personal army of emperors like the inner guards also have obvious tendencies.

The prince's brother is a literary man, elegant and upright, unlike the second brother. He has been both civil and military since childhood, but he is heroic and arrogant, and is deeply loved by the generals in the army.

The two brothers fought each other, but Min Ruoxi, who was sandwiched in the middle, was difficult to be a human being. In Nanyue, the royal family was not strong. Although Min Ruoxi was a woman, she also had to come out to take charge. The Jiying Palace in her hands was still full of talents, and it was the center of the Southern Chu court's control of the rivers and lakes. Princess Zhaohua Min Ruoxi, who has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, can squeeze into the ranks of first-class masters.

"Princess, I also know your difficulties, but only one side can win this battle for the throne. You cannot stand in the middle without bias. It would be fine if you are just a princess, but the Jiying Palace under your control is full of experts and has extremely strict control over the world. How can such a strength make the two princes turn a blind eye?" Guo Jiuling advised.

"It's all my brothers!" Min Ruoxi sighed.

"Princess, Your Highness the Second Prince is your mother and compatriot. You should always be closer than Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Guo Jiuling pointed out the subtle differences between the two princes and the princess in an understatement.

"But the prince's brother has been kind to me since he was a child and took good care of me." Min Ruoxi was slightly confused, "How can I be sorry for him?"

"Your Highness, I know your difficulties, but deep down in your heart, I am afraid that you will still be more favorable to the second prince. Otherwise, you would not have asked for an order to come to the western border army this time." Guo Jiuling chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that now, the think tanks of the eldest prince have listed you as the target to deal with."

"What are you talking nonsense? This time I asked to leave Beijing, just to avoid the endless mutual struggle in Beijing. It is impossible to be in Beijing without wanting to get involved. Only by leaving can I stay out of the matter." Min Ruoxi shook her head and sighed softly.

"But the Zuo Zheng of the Western Frontier Army has always been a clear supporter of the Second Prince." Guo Jiuling said with a smile.

Min Ruoxi was stunned for a while, lowered her head, and looked at the heat that was still rising above the desk in front of her. The fragrance of tea was spreading in the big tent, but her heart was bitter. Deep in her heart, did she still tend toward her second brother?

"Your Highness Princess doesn't have to worry, this is also a human nature." Guo Jiulingkuan explained.

"Old Guo, why are your inner guards also involved in this dispute over the throne? Are you not afraid that your father will know and blame you for waiting?" Min Ruoxi changed the topic.

"In fact, it's just that I support the second prince, and the other deputy commander Yang Jian is the strongest of the eldest prince. As for the commander, he only recognizes His Majesty. In fact, does Your Majesty also know the battle between the inner guards? With Your Majesty's wisdom and magical martial arts, you naturally know in your heart, but Your Majesty can tolerate all this. Because Your Majesty knows what kind of person you must be sitting on that chair. Without jealousy of the country's foundation, the struggle between the two princes will make the two princes judge the superiority."

"In order to choose such a person, do you have to be traumatized by your hands and feet?" Min Ruoxi shook her head slightly.

"Actually, your Majesty has already made a conclusion in his heart." Guo Jiuling said confidently. "Your Highness the Crown Prince has been in the throne for a long time, but his ruling philosophy is becoming increasingly incompatible with Your Majesty. Your Highness is generous and open to governing the country and living in harmony with your neighbors. This is not a mistake, but in this world, it is by no means a blessing for the country. It's just that Your Highness is rich in wings and never makes mistakes. Even if Your Majesty wants to replace others, there is no excuse. But if the Second Prince wins a complete victory in this battle and wins the southern territory of Western Qin, Your Majesty will have an excuse to promote the Yi Chu's proposal."

"What's wrong with my big brother's political concept?"

"Your Highness, in today's world, the four strongest countries are in a confrontation. The three kingdoms of Southern Chu, Western Qin and Northern Vietnam are the same. Dongqi, which inherited most of the territory of the original Tang Dynasty, was the most powerful. Chu, Qin and Yue, all of them worked hard to compete with each other, while competing with Dongqi, and plotting against each other, all wanting to expand their strength. The Emperor of Dongqi thought about every day that the Tang Dynasty unified the world. In such a dangerous situation, being generous and kind is probably a sign of the destruction of the country. What the Great Chu needs is an ambitious emperor, a hero who can lead the Great Chu to fight south and north and unify the world."

"It is also the opportunity for your military to make achievements and become a minister and appoint him as a minister, right?" Min Ruoxi said sarcastically.

"Yes." Guo Jiuling said shyly: "What soldiers want is to make achievements on the battlefield, so the Second Prince has a strong foundation in the army. Everyone hopes to achieve a heroic career with the Second Prince."

"Once a hero draws his sword, it will be another ten years of disaster for the people. Can't the world be peaceful for a few years?" Min Ruoxi's eyes were full of unbearable expressions.

"Your Highness Princess, this is the general trend. If our Great Chu does not follow the general trend, we will inevitably be swept into the dust of history like fallen leaves. The Tang Dynasty was so powerful back then, but once we lose our ambition and hold on to the incompleteness, we will eventually die and destroy the country. The ancestral temple is not safe. How can we repeat the same mistakes? If the country fights, if we do not advance, we will die." Guo Jiuling said calmly. "Your Highness Princess, you are the royal family of the Great Chu. Since you were born, you have been carrying an obligation that you cannot get rid of. To put it unpleasantly, the country will be destroyed. If you are like the Weak Minister, there may be another way to go. What can you do?

"For more than a hundred years, there is still an organization that has been constantly pursuing and killing the Li clans who are wandering outside. Is this necessary? In a century, the Li clan has disappeared. Even if there are still evil, it will no longer be a climate. Although Cao clan has obtained a high throne, he is so narrow-minded. It's a pity, it's so sad!"

"Your Highness, this is related to a rumor. Li Qing, the founding emperor of the Li family, was wise and wise, and was hard to defeat in the world. He was famous in just over ten years. He pacified the world in less than 40 years and built the Tang Empire that had been passed down for thousands of years. However, the origin of this emperor has always been a secret. The personal origins that the emperor told him back then were all fake under the research of historians in later generations. The emperor himself was like a person who suddenly fell from the sky. According to legend, the royal family of the Tang Empire had left behind a copy of the royal family, saying that after a thousand years, the emperor would be reborn, and the reincarnated person would be a child of the Li family. Cao Wending was an important official of the Tang Dynasty. His relationship with the Tang Dynasty royal family was mixed and there were many marriages. I believe that it was right.

This rumor is also known. People have always thought that this was just a rumor. However, after Cao Wending successfully usurped the throne, he not only chased and killed the Li clans who were stranded outside, but even the children with the Li clan blood in his own clan, and killed all of them. This made others believe that this was not a rumor, otherwise Cao Wending would not have killed his clan members. You must know that those who were killed back then were a branch of Cao Wending's direct lineage. It was just because this branch was married to the Tang royal family and had the blood of the Tang royal family." Guo Jiuling sighed: "Your Highness the Princess is also a person who reads history books. If there is a person like Emperor Li Qing in this world, who dares to ask about the world, who can stop it?"

"The Li Tang royal family has been passed down for thousands of years, and there are so many children. How can we kill them all?" Min Ruoxi shook her head and said.

"Kill one more, there is less possibility." Guo Jiuling said: "In fact, it is not only the Cao family in Dongqi, but also the other three countries. Once the Li family is discovered, they will be killed immediately. No one wants the rumor to become a reality. It's just that everyone is not as serious as Dongqi, and has set up a special institution."

"One person's remaining power can still shock the world in a thousand years. Emperor Li Qing is really respectable and admired. It is hateful that Min Ruoxi was born a thousand years later and would not have the blessing to see this person's face!" Min Ruoxi said regretfully.
