"Report!" In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done.

The postman had no problem entering the main hall. The announcement was clearly audible a hundred meters away, and even though Gu Junwen was distracted, he suddenly woke up.

In an instant, the river was frozen and the whole hall was silent.

"Report! There is smoke and dust rolling a hundred meters away, and it seems that a large group of soldiers are coming towards Kyoto." The postman staggered and knelt on the ground, his voice urgent and loud.

"Can you see the commander's flag clearly?" Ye Nanyi frowned, his tone relatively calm, but the panic in his eyes was hard to ignore.

Gu Junwen only took a glance and couldn't help but feel the same way. Well, "I always feel like a spectator, but I am the actor in the play."

When disaster strikes and the building is about to collapse, we are all grasshoppers tied to the same string and no one can stay out of it.

"Your Highness," the newly appointed Minister Feng of the Ministry of War struggled for a long time before finally speaking, "Since ancient times, sending troops to fight has always been justified, and an unjust army must be fought with all the people. Moreover, the enemy army has been traveling all the way and is now exhausted. As long as everyone in Kyoto is united, this battle may be able to turn around."

"Where are the food and fodder?" The lazy voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. Gu Junwen was still leaning against the pillar, playing with his hair out of boredom.

"Well," Grand Minister of Agriculture Cai Wei stepped forward under everyone's gaze, "Kyoto's external circulation has been controlled for several months, and grain merchants are deliberately raising prices, so the people can't afford to buy grain."

Cai Wei closed his eyes and made up his mind: "There is not much food left. Even if we open the warehouses to help the people and control the situation by force, it won't last long."

"How long exactly?" Ye Nan couldn't stand his hesitation and slowness. With a powerful enemy at the doorstep, he didn't have time to listen to other people's nonsense.

"Kyoto already relies on the surrounding prefectures for supplies. After several months of consumption, it can't last more than two weeks."

"Report!" The hurried footsteps of the postman stepped on everyone's heart, "The army has arrived, the general said he is from Dezhou, and he was ordered to lead the troops to defend the king. I want to ask if your majesty is well?"

"This..." For a moment, everyone looked at each other.

"Let's go. I'll go with you to take a look. Hiding won't solve the problem." Gu Junwen stood up straight, glanced at the people with different thoughts, and took firm steps.

"Okay." They smiled at each other and stepped out of the palace together. Facing the sky that was slightly turning pale, the scene was harmonious and well matched.

The sky was just getting light, and the cold dew was sticking to everyone, making them feel wet and uncomfortable. Mixed with sleepiness, no one dared to close their sleepy eyes.

The enemy was at the gates of the city. Looking around, the whole mountain and field were covered with black masses of soldiers, which made one's scalp tingle.

"Your Highness, that's it." The foreman of the city guard came forward, saluted, and pointed at a particularly eye-catching carriage among the army under the city wall. "That's where the people said they came from Texas."

"Go ahead and get ready. I want to talk to the person in the car." Ye Nanyi calmly gave the orders and made the arrangements. Only in his unknown heart, Gu Junwen was experiencing the annoying nagging alone.

"What should we do? What should we do? Should we negotiate? Should we go to war? What about food and grass? Are there enough soldiers? What if the other side betrays us..."

"Your Highness," Gu Junwen couldn't help scratching his ears, "I request to accompany you, at least to a position where I can see the enemy leader."

"Okay, let's do it together." Ye Nan thought about it for a moment and understood that with this plug-in, all the conspiracies and tricks would disappear immediately.

"Prince Nan Ye Nanyi? Why isn't His Majesty here? What are you doing here?" The young man in the car spoke in a low voice, and the hazy light and shadow could only outline his outline.

"May I ask your Excellency who is..."

"Nobody."

"Pfft~" Gu Junwen couldn't help but burst into laughter. The guards, who had originally had serious expressions, were stunned for a moment.

"It has been many months since we last met, Your Majesty, you really need to have a good talk with the Sixth Prince." Gu Junwen raised the corners of his lips and yawned, not showing any nervousness at all.

"You...how did you know that?" Sure enough, the Sixth Prince Ye Xiuqiong jumped out of the carriage and pulled off his attire.

"Let's talk business!" Ye Nanyi was shocked and changed the subject lightly.

"You, you, you are not my uncle, I..." Ye Xiuqiong covered her face in grievance, but her face was full of smiles.

"I am your blood cousin, so you still have the final say. Tell me, what's the matter with the Texas flag?"

"So ruthless." Ye Xiuqiong curled her lips and took the opportunity to make a face at Gu Junwen, "We met on the road. Third brother's subordinates rebelled and the army fell apart. We picked up a lot of military flags on the road. I thought I would come to investigate the situation first."

Ye Xiuqiong looked at Ye Nanyi who seemed to be thinking about something, and a bad feeling came over him.

"What do you think? It's a good idea." Gu Junwen looked at Ye Nanyi's determined eyes and nodded slowly.

"Hey! You guys..."

"Come here, welcome His Royal Highness Prince Qiong to the capital."

"yes!"

The heavy city gate slowly opened in front of Ye Xiuqiong. Ye Xiuqiong looked at it blankly, not knowing how to react for a moment.

"Ye Xiuqiong, the sixth son of Emperor Mingde, has outstanding virtues and numerous military achievements. He has repeatedly suppressed rebellions, stabilized the people, and prevented major disasters. He should be the emperor."

"The emperor must enter the city through the main gate." Gu Junwen looked at Ye Nanyi again and knelt down.

For a moment, heaven and earth were solemn.

———————————————

"Do you know? He had a nightmare again yesterday. It was still about you and the Qiao family." The ghost money twisted in the fire, and the ashes struggled to jump out of the fireworks.

Gu Junwen's eyes were empty, as if he was looking at the tomb, or as if he was seeing something else through it: "Since the Sixth Prince ascended the throne, he has been the regent. He has been busy investigating the truth every day and has not had a full night's sleep for a long time."

Looking at the small grave again, Gu Junwen grinned stiffly: "The late prince, the reputation of tens of thousands of people in southern Fujian, the Qiao family, and the Yebei Army has been restored, and the world has been advertised... The emperor will spend the rest of his life repenting,
