There were frequent good news from southern Xinjiang, and the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of War were all busy.
For these people, unifying southern Xinjiang is just a dream, and they don't even dare to realize this dream. But now, this dream is about to become a reality.
They were so excited, even more excited than when they were enthroning a crown prince or having a successor to the country.
Therefore, even the Ministry of Rites was preparing for the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince while also planning a welcoming ceremony for the triumphant army returning after the unification of southern Xinjiang.
The Grand Princess's Mansion.
"Your Highness, do you really want to do this? If we fail, we will have no way out." asked the Grand Princess's trusted maid.
The eldest princess' eyes were gloomy. "Chier will have to leave the palace and set up a residence after her wedding. If I don't do it now, after the recovery of southern Xinjiang and the return of the army in triumph, I will have no chance.
Especially Song Jinxiu, who actually invented artemisinin, maybe she can even detoxify it. Therefore, I must act before she returns to the capital. If Chier ascends the throne, everything from now on will belong to me. ”
The confidant exclaimed: "Appointment? Not the crown prince?"
The eldest princess snorted coldly, "Humph! Since he doesn't want to make Chi'er the crown prince, then we don't have to go through this again. Go, invite Yu Ding over."
"놆." The trusted maidservant was startled and took the order and went out personally.
Soon, a tall woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walked in.
"Yu Ding greets His Highness." Although this person was dressed like a woman, she performed like a man and spoke in a man's voice.
Yes, this person is Yu Ding, a close confidant of Prince Yin.
After Prince Yin failed in his attempt to force the emperor to abdicate, his entire family was beheaded. Yu Ding disguised himself as a woman to avoid being seen by everyone and entered the Grand Princess's mansion as an aide.
Originally, the Grand Princess did not want to take him in, but Yu Ding took out a jade pendant and said that he was the illegitimate son of his brother, the King of Wei. Because of the incident with the King of Yin, he had no way to escape, so he thought of his aunt, hoping to get her protection.
There was no doubt that the jade pendant belonged to her brother, the King of Wei, so the eldest princess kept him with doubts.
But Prince Yin forced the emperor to abdicate, and he was not of royal blood, which was a serious crime. Yu Ding had been in the capital for several years, so in order to conceal his tracks, Yu Ding always dressed as a woman in his mansion.
Since Yu Ding came, he has been giving advice to the Grand Princess and has done a lot of things. He also won over some of the remnants of the former King Yin.
These people were hiding in the dark, and the emperor did not find them when he conducted a thorough investigation.
Now that they have the handle of Prince Yin, these people are no longer loyal to the Grand Princess. The last time someone said in the court that Song Jinxiu was a demon star, the person who was executed by His Majesty was one of them.
These people will do whatever they are told to do in order to show off. Therefore, the Grand Princess gradually accepted Yu Ding.
Even some confidential matters had to be discussed with Yu Ding first.
The two of them discussed behind closed doors for nearly two hours and finally came up with a bold plan.
The eldest princess paced back and forth. "The plan is good. If the troops in the West Mountain camp move, it will definitely alert the Imperial City Department. If I had known this, I might as well have kept these people on the farm."
Yu Ding smiled and said, "Your Highness, what's the harm? Isn't there another Prince of Southern Xinjiang at home? I've kept him for such a long time, it's time for him to come in handy."
The eldest princess glanced at him and said, "Oh? A runaway prince will soon become a slave of the country. What use is he?"
She originally wanted to let the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang cast a curse on His Majesty, but she never found the opportunity.
Yu Ding smiled and said, "Your Highness, his use is to give the Xishan Camp a legitimate reason to send troops."
Yu Ding's few words made the Grand Princess exclaim, "Wonderful, Yu Ding, you are worthy of being my nephew. You are as smart as my brother."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
"Why do you still call me Your Highness? The queen just calls me aunt in private." The eldest princess looked kind.
Yu Ding lowered his eyelids and said, "Let's wait until the great cause is accomplished. His Highness has promised to make me king."
Hearing about Dayecheng, the eldest princess' eyes lit up, "Of course. Someone, bring the second prince from Southern Xinjiang here."
The maid took the order and left, and Yu Ding also said goodbye and left.
At the beginning, when the fourth prince of the Nuhan Kingdom escaped, it was planned by Yu Ding with the help of the Grand Princess, and by the way, the second prince of Southern Xinjiang was also brought out of prison.
With the help of the cover of the Fourth Prince of Nu Khanate, the Grand Princess hired an underworld organization to take the opportunity to assassinate the Seventh Prince. However, she did not expect that the Seventh Prince was surrounded by many secret guards and failed.
Later, the fourth prince of the Nuhan Kingdom was killed while escaping, and the second prince of Southern Xinjiang was secretly hidden in the palace by the eldest princess, thus escaping the search of the Imperial City Department.
But the Lord has eyes. Several princes fell ill and almost died after returning to the palace. It seems that the old man is helping her.
The eldest princess thought secretly.
Soon, a tall maidservant came over with her trusted maidservant. This person was the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang.
In order to conceal his identity, he, like Yu Ding, also dressed in women's clothes. However, he was not as pretty as Yu Ding, so he dressed himself as an ugly woman.
The eldest princess looked at the second prince of the Southern Xinjiang King and said, "Do you know that your Southern Xinjiang is about to be destroyed?"
The Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang was horrified, "Are you serious, Your Highness?"
He was confined to the Grand Princess's Mansion and knew nothing about the outside world.
The eldest princess glanced at him and said, "There is no need for me to deceive you. I just found out about this today. So I want to discuss a deal with you."
"I will do whatever your highness tells me." He was now living under someone else's roof and was a prisoner. What qualifications did he have to discuss business with the Grand Princess?
The Grand Princess came straight to the point and said, "To tell you the truth, I want Southern Xinjiang."
The Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang was stunned. Then he smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Highness wants Southern Xinjiang, but I can't do anything. I'm in Cangwu now and can't go back, let alone contact my old subordinates. Even if I go back, our Southern Xinjiang will soon be lost as Your Highness said. So if Your Highness wants Southern Xinjiang, it would be more reliable to ask your Emperor Cangwu."
The Grand Princess looked at him and said, "I will send you back and give you a batch of bows and crossbows. I want you to protect Southern Xinjiang and be my backup. Are you willing?"
"Your Highness wants to help? Does Your Highness want to create trouble?" The Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang was even more puzzled.
A hint of hatred suddenly appeared in the eldest princess's eyes. "Humph! My brother is the murderer of my mother. Tell me, should I leave a way out for myself?"
The Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang looked at the Grand Princess to make sure she was not lying.
Since she killed her mother's enemy, it was reasonable for the eldest princess to do so. Her current situation was just as the Grand Princess had said, she didn't want to lie to herself.
"Okay, if I can successfully return to Southern Xinjiang and defeat the Cangwu Dingguo Army, we will follow your lead in Southern Xinjiang."
The second prince of Southern Xinjiang had a sincere look on his face, but secretly said in his heart: "When I arrive in Southern Xinjiang, I will have the final say on what to do."
The eldest princess sneered in her heart, but said cordially: "Okay, I will send the guard elder Lu to send you personally."
After that, she shouted to the door: "Lao Lu, you lead thirty people to personally escort the second prince back to southern Xinjiang."
Receiving the Grand Princess's hint, a bearded man standing at the door said, "놆."
The Second Prince of the Southern Xinjiang King looked at Lao Lu and thought: Why does the chief guard of the Grand Princess's Mansion look like a bandit?
Watching the Second Prince of Southern Xinjiang leave, the Grand Princess issued several orders in succession.
