Chapter 001: The Seventh Prince Died in Battle
At the gate of Kyoto City in the north, there were many people standing in anticipation of the army slowly entering the gate.
However, at the beginning of the goal, it was General Li and Vice General Wei who were sitting on horseback.
Everyone looked around, but they didn't see that graceful and high-spirited person!
However, the helmet that General Li was holding in his arms made everyone's faces change, and the smile on their faces disappeared immediately.
That's—
The helmet of the Seven Princes!
"The Seventh Prince—sacrificed!"
I don't know who in the crowd shouted such a sentence, and everyone immediately knelt down as if they had just woken up from a big dream, and the whimper sounded instantly.
The smile on General Li's face suddenly couldn't be maintained, their return was a happy thing, and this sudden cry made him feel the urge to throw away the helmet in his hand.
Holding back the anger in his heart and finally returning to the palace, as soon as he got off the horse, he quickly held the helmet in his hand and walked towards the Cheng'an Hall with Vice General Wei, the smile on his face could not be concealed.
Unconsciously he became a little excited, he couldn't wait to see the emperor when he heard the news of the death of the seventh prince.
They deliberately did not report in advance, just to make the emperor sad, so as to show their hard work in fighting the enemy outside.
will definitely be knighted, and he, a small general, will probably not do it in the future, and there will be a higher position waiting for him.
Walking to the door of the Cheng'an Palace, he adjusted his expression and thoughts slightly, then glanced at Vice General Wei, and the two walked in with bitter faces.
The whole of Kyoto knew that they had returned triumphantly, and the emperor had been waiting here for a long time, and the officials in this hall were standing on both sides.
"General Li, General Wei, return triumphantly!"
The chief manager beside the emperor shouted, and Li Zhijin immediately became a little flustered in his heart, but then he thought that the seventh prince was dead, and the dead would not come out to confront him anyway.
Walked in with his head held high.
He held the helmet of the Seventh Prince, walked forward more and more slowly, and then walked to the bottom of the throne steps, and immediately knelt down, shouting, "The emperor forgives the sins, the ministers did not protect the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince-died in battle!" ”
He said it with righteous indignation, and the old tears flowed down his eyes, and he raised his hands and raised the helmet in his hand above his head.
“……”
The two couldn't help but wonder, why did the officials of the Quartet and the emperor not move anything when they heard the news?
General Wei couldn't help but look up in confusion, and saw the Ninety-Five Honors on the throne with cold faces, looking at them in a coy manner.
General Wei immediately lowered his head and raised his hand to push Li Zhijin.
Li Zhijin was also puzzled, looked up at the throne, and found that the emperor was indifferent to this matter, and immediately swallowed his saliva angrily.
"Your Majesty, the minister-everything you say is true!" He lowered his head again and said loudly, but he secretly gritted his teeth, no matter what today, he had to sit down on this matter!
The one on the throne shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
Seeing this, the chief manager next to him inadvertently glanced at the two kneeling people, and then sharpened his voice, "Xuan Qi Wangye!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the two kneeling people immediately trembled unconsciously, raised their heads in some surprise, and looked at the people on the throne suspiciously.
But the emperor didn't give them a single look.
General Li suddenly couldn't kneel and wanted to stand up, but the saint didn't let him get up.
General Wei on the side was too frightened to squeak, but he was puzzled in his heart, obviously he and General Li saw the corpse of the Seventh Prince with their own eyes.
General Li shuddered, and slowly turned his head to look at the entrance of the hall, and the luck in his eyes was obvious.
How he hoped that it would not be the Seventh Prince who would come out next.
"I heard that the two generals said that this king died in battle? I don't know where I heard the rumors?! ”
