The news of the southern invasion of the Golden Horde was like a mountain fire, quickly burning the entire world and shaking the entire Central Plains.

Chang'an City's response was extremely rapid, Li Yu with great courage, suppressed the uproar of the queen's ministers in the court, regardless of the fact that he might become a laughing stock afterwards, issued several military orders in a row, ordering the Zhenbei army that was moving in the direction of Tuyang City to retreat immediately, and formed a horn with Beidaying, and laid two lines of defense in a row outside Hebei County.

At the same time, she ordered the Zhennan Army to immediately end the entanglement with the savage tribes in the primeval forest, and asked them to rush to the northern frontier of the empire to participate in the war in the shortest possible time.

What shocked the ministers of the court and the central government the most was that Li Yu didn't care that Chang'an City might get out of control, and transferred the Yulin Army, which he mastered the most, to the northern frontier!

At the emergency court meeting, all the ministers admitted that His Highness's arrangement had no selfish motives and was extremely timely, but there were still people who expressed fierce opposition.

In the eyes of those ministers, the Zhenbei army could not support Tuyang City, so the Yan army and the cavalry of the Left Tent Wang Court could drive straight in, and His Royal Highness transferred the Yulin army to the northern frontier.

Li Yu only used two sentences to resolve the dispute.

"It is impossible for Chang'an City to be captured. ”

"I'm not afraid of death, so why are you afraid of death...... After the new emperor ascended the throne, Li Yu has always been very lenient and gentle, and the reason why she will go against the previous state at this time. She showed her absolutely tough side because she knew better than anyone how terrible the Golden Horde was.

She had been married to the majestic Shan Yu of the Golden Horde, she had lived in that wasteland for a long time, and she knew that those steppe cavalry who had been quiet for many years were the real threat to the Tang Dynasty.

Until now. Her guards were the same barbarian men they had brought back from the wasteland.

She knew very well that the Golden Horde Court was a monster, but it had been suppressed by Datang for hundreds of years, and if Datang could no longer suppress it, it would definitely burst out with unimaginable destructive power.

Compare it to the cavalry of the Golden Horde. The cavalry of the Left Tent Court are like children who have not yet grown up, and the Yan army is more like a girl who can only cry.

Under the terrible pressure of the Golden Horde's southern invasion, Li Yu had no interest in paying attention to the troops led by the Prince of Longqing, she knew very well that the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty and the local armies of the various states and counties would make those people tired. In addition to the fact that the people will suffer some losses. It doesn't affect the overall situation at all.

Therefore, even if the officials of the empress's faction objected, and even the most loyal vassals carefully and privately expressed doubts, she still insisted on mobilizing the forces of the entire empire and going north.

Later facts will prove that her current decision is correct.

Yet at the time. Not many people can understand her decision. She herself felt extremely tired after the court dispersed. A faint fear slowly floated in the deepest part of my heart.

Could this be the retribution for tampering with his father's edict?

That's when it happened. There was a commotion outside the hall, she frowned slightly, and before she could say anything, she saw several officials hurrying under the leadership of the eunuchs. Li Huiyuan, with He Mingchi and the new head of the Heavenly Coffin, also walked in from the side door, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely solemn.

Li Yu's heart was slightly cold, but his expression did not change, and he asked, "What happened?"

He Mingchi glanced at His Majesty the Emperor.

Li Huiyuan stepped forward and handed a letter in his hand to Li Yu.

The minister who came from outside the palace said in a trembling voice: "The Xiling Temple has just issued an edict...... The edict of the Xiling Temple, along with a handwritten letter from the master of the sect, was sent to Chang'an City.

In the edict, the Xiling Temple exposed the identity of the queen's mother, pointing out that the Tang Emperor protected the remnants of the Demon Sect for decades, which was a desecrated and filthy country. He also said that the Golden Horde royal court went south, and it was also under the order of Haotian to advise the believers of the Tang Kingdom not to resist, and to overthrow the dark royal family as the top priority.

Li Yu finished reading the edict of the temple, and began to read the handwritten letter of the master again.

Compared with the beautiful edict of the temple, the handwritten letter to her from the master of the sect is much simpler, and only one sentence is written on it: "The night covers the stars, the Tang will be restless, and the palace has descended." ”

She was silent, her fingers holding the letter trembling.

There was silence in the hall, Li Huiyuan looked at his imperial sister nervously, He Mingchi lowered his head slightly, the eunuchs and palace maids were pale, and the ministers were staring at each other.

If the Golden Horde court went south and was the strongest enemy that the Tang Empire had encountered for decades, then the edict of the Xiling Temple and the handwritten letter of the master in charge of the sect were the most feared things by all Tang people.

Yes, there is no country in this world that can defeat the Tang Dynasty, even if it is the Golden Horde, as long as the Tang Empire can survive the initial period, it will still be able to win in the end.

However, if the whole world starts to attack Datang, will Datang still be able to withstand it? Many years ago, Datang faced a similar situation, but at that time, Datang had a master, and now the master has ascended to the sky...... Destroying one country with the world's strength and exchanging it for any other country will collapse directly in the face of such terrifying pressure and desperate prospects.

Datang has not collapsed, and the confidence and strong spirit that have been hammered out for a thousand years have made the people living here vigilant and uneasy, but still have no idea of giving up.

All the institutions of the imperial court acted as quickly as possible, and the city of Chang'an was slaughtered, and various military orders were sent from Chang'an City to every area of the vast territory.

In contrast, the imperial palace, the center of political and military power in the Tang Dynasty, has become quiet.

Everything that needs to be done is being done, so what can be done but wait?

Li Yu stood by the stone fence, looking at the moon in the night sky, silent.

She thought about the sentence in the letter written by the head of the Xiling Temple, and thought about the instructions made by Qin Tianjian many years ago, and the hands behind her slowly clenched, and her nails cut through her palms, dyed with a touch of blood.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the fear and confusion in her heart, turned around the side of the hall, walked across the small lake, and entered the imperial study.

Since tampering with the edict and allowing Li Huiyuan to ascend the throne, she has never entered the imperial study. Because this small room was full of the smell of her father, she felt a little depressed.

But today she still came, because at this time she needed her father's spiritual comfort and support.

A military general walked into the imperial study and gave a military salute. The war has not yet reached Chang'an City, but the entire empire is facing war, so it is no longer a time of peace, but a time of war.

"When will General Xu Shi arrive in Chang'an?" she asked, looking at the general...... (To be continued)
