The Northern Army is defeated!

Invincible, the invincible Northern Army in the world was defeated!

Defeat lies in the disparity in troops, defeat in failure to respond, defeat in fighting alone.

It's not that the Northern Army can't fight, but the situation is stronger than people.

The Northern Army was defeated, so it could only retreat to the dangerous city, give up the frontal battle, and fight a defensive battle.

When the news reached the capital, the whole city was in an uproar.

Emperor Yongtai directly spat out a mouthful of blood and passed out.

The capital is under martial law, and the whole city is quiet.

The forbidden army is like a great enemy, and Jin Wuwei is pervasive.

Sun Bangnian was ordered by the emperor to close the Xingqing Palace.

Without him and Prince Xiao Chengyi nodding and agreeing, even Empress Tao would not want to enter Xingqing Palace.

Of course, Empress Tao successfully entered Xingqing Palace.

At this time, the prince Xiao Chengyi needed Empress Tao to be by his side to give advice and share the pressure for him.

He is not fully ready to be an emperor, and it is inevitable that there will be thoughtful places and negligent details.

Empress Tao stood by the bed and sighed.

"The Northern Army was defeated! What's going on in this world? Your Majesty is not a faint king, let alone a tyrant, why do natural and man-made disasters continue? Within a year, two alien invasions were menacing, what the hell was going on? ”

She was also worried.

This time, the situation was far more serious than the last invasion of the Xirong royal court.

Wuheng Royal Court, 200,000 troops, all cavalry, who can stand this?

It is necessary to gather more than seventy percent of the forces of the Great Wei in order to confront.

But this time, the anti-thieves are bound to get more and more troublesome.

"Internal and external troubles, I don't know when it's a head." Empress Tao's face was sad, and her brows couldn't help frowning.

Xiao Chengyi's mouth is dry, there is peeling, his throat is dry and hoarse, but he can't remember to drink water.

He was very nervous, very stressed, and he had never felt the pressure like Mount Tai's top, and he was almost out of breath.

He said to Empress Tao: "There is news from the northwest, the situation of the Wuheng Royal Court, roughly inquire clearly. In the war in the Western Regions, a division of tigers and wolves came from the west, burning, killing and plundering in the Western Regions, killing the world in the Western Regions. Wu Heng is not an opponent, so he can only attack to the east.

Along the way, the steppe tribes were integrated and their power grew. However, the area of the grassland in the extreme west has been dry for several years, and it is impossible to raise so many soldiers and horses. Wu Heng needed to find a new place of abundance, so he set his sights on our Great Wei. ”

Empress Tao exclaimed, "You mean, Wu Heng didn't fight the grass valley, and he would retreat after a plunder?" but to occupy territory and build their kingdom? ”

Prince Xiao Chengyi nodded heavily, "Exactly!" The courtiers estimated that Wuheng was in love with Yanzhou, Yunzhou, Jeju and other places. Those places are quite lush with water and grass, and the weather is not hot, which is suitable for grazing and recuperation. ”

Empress Tao's face was solemn, "What else did the courtiers say?" Is there a suggestion to give up the site? ”

"The queen mother misunderstood! At this time, no one dared to risk the world's disapproval and give the Great Wei Jiangshan to others. If someone dares to speak, it is the enemy of my Great Wei, the Nine Clans! ”

Xiao Chengyi's face was gloomy, with a faint hint of murderous intent.

Queen Tao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Everything else can be discussed, but the territory can't be caught, this is the bottom line." Otherwise, you will be the sinner of Da Wei and will always be nailed to the pillar of shame. ”

Xiao Chengyi nodded heavily, "My son understands!" And it didn't get to that point. Although the Northern Army was defeated, the Great Wei was not defeated. Liangzhou soldiers and horses, Youzhou soldiers and horses, Qingzhou soldiers and horses, and even Yuzhou soldiers and horses are all rushing to the battlefield. Three months, three months will definitely allow Wu Heng to withdraw from the army. ”

Empress Tao reminded him, "Don't be careless! In three months, it will be the cold winter wax moon, which is the most difficult day of the year. You also said that the Wuheng royal court wants to find a place to graze and cultivate, and in order to survive, they will attack even more frantically in winter. ”

Xiao Chengyi gritted his teeth, nodded, and remained silent.

The father fell, and almost all the pressure was on him, and he was a little overwhelmed.

But he gritted his teeth and insisted.

This crisis is a huge external crisis that has never been seen since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.

In addition, the internal worries have not been settled, and the household and Shaofu are poor haha, I really don't know how to survive.

The only good thing is that this year's harvest is okay, and the taxes should be good, which can solve most of the problems.

Empress Tao quietly instructed Young Eunuch Mei: "Go and call the imperial doctor, and the palace will personally inquire about Your Majesty's situation." ”

Young Eunuch Mei took the order and left.

Xiao Chengyi looked at her and was silent.

Empress Tao pondered for a moment before she said, "You have to plan ahead!" ”

Xiao Chengyi was silent with a solemn expression.

Young Eunuch Mei brought the imperial physician to Empress Tao.

Empress Tao got straight to the point and asked bluntly: "You and the palace are honest, can Your Majesty survive this time?" ”

The Imperial Doctor trembled and opened his mouth, but he didn't even make a sound.

Empress Tao slowed down her tone, "You just say it, this palace will never ask for guilt." ”

Only then did the imperial physician hesitate and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, Your Majesty may be difficult to survive this time." ”

Empress Tao frowned, "Is there no way?" ”

The Imperial Physician was terrified, "Don't hide it from Niangniang, Your Majesty's body has reached the point where the oil has run out." Even if Da Luo Jin Immortal came to the world, he would be weak to return to the sky. Birth, old age, sickness and death are providential, not human beings. ”

Empress Tao sighed and asked, "How long is left?" ”

The Imperial Physician pondered for a moment, "If Your Majesty can wake up before tomorrow morning and administer the fierce medicine, there will be about half a month." ”

"What if I don't wake up tomorrow morning?"

"Weichen doesn't dare to say it!"

The implication is that if the emperor does not wake up early tomorrow morning, he may pass away at any time.

Empress Tao waved her hand and sent the imperial doctor away.

She said to Xiao Chengyi: "You also heard the words of the imperial doctor. Prepare early! ”

Xiao Chengyi nodded.

Now that he is already sitting in the position of the prince, no matter how hard it is, he will go on.

……

In the end, Emperor Yongtai still failed to defeat Providence.

He didn't wake up in time.

Two days later, he died in a coma, leaving no last words.

When the death knell of the palace sounds, the whole city shook.

"This bell ...... Your Majesty is gone! ”

"Your Majesty is gone?"

"How could it be so sudden?"

Courtiers, big or small, poured towards the palace.

Ignoring the ban and Jin Wuwei's threats, they must go to the palace to see what is going on.

The emperor left too suddenly, there was no news in advance, if it wasn't for the fact that the prince had already been established, I was afraid that everyone would think about it more, suspecting that the queen and the three princes killed the emperor.

The courtiers blocked the palace gate and demanded to see Empress Tao, the prince, and the deceased Emperor Yongtai.

Jin Wuwei is like a great enemy, and the forbidden army is like a great enemy.

Zheng Gang, the ruling Jinwu, wanted to directly order the arrest of people and arrest them all.

However, thinking that his backer His Majesty the Emperor had just died, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only look at everyone with a gloomy face and unkind eyes.

Just when the courtiers were arguing, an inner servant was ordered to come to the palace gate and invite the courtiers into the palace.

Not every courtier was able to enter the palace.

Only officials above the third rank are eligible to enter the palace.

After the courtiers entered the palace, they found that the royal family had been waiting in Xingqing Palace for a long time, and the princes had also arrived.

The faces of the courtiers suddenly became unsightly.

To put it this way, the emperor had been dead for some time by the time the death knell sounded.

What were Empress Tao and the prince doing during this time?

Who are you guarding against?

The answer is self-evident.

The prince's distrust of the family officials is an unfriendly signal.

The courtiers exchanged a glance with each other and understood each other.

"Dare to ask when Your Majesty will die?" Some courtiers stood up and questioned Empress Tao.

Empress Tao's face was unhappy, but she still held back her temper and said, "Your Majesty died in Yin. ”

It's crazy!

His Majesty died at the time of Yin, and the death knell rang, and it was already Shen Shi.

Between the two, there was a gap of more than five hours.

What happened in those five hours?

Immediately, some courtiers asked, "Your Majesty died in Yinshi, why did Shen Shi ring the death knell?" Why didn't the death knell ring in the first place? ”

"Because the capital is not safe, the palace is not safe!" Empress Tao said loudly, "Look at your attitude, Your Majesty has only passed away for a few hours, and you are going to force the palace to ask the palace, are you going to force the palace to rebel?" ”

"The queen mother is cautious! No one wants to force the palace to rebel, and the ministers just want to seek the truth. ”

"The truth is that His Majesty died, the palace was heartbroken, and I was afraid of persecution, so I postponed the death knell and ordered the forbidden army to guard the palace to ensure safety."

"Why do royalty ......?"

"Because their surname is Xiao, they are His Majesty's family, clansmen...... And you are foreign ministers. Mo Fei and other foreign ministers still demand the same treatment as the royal family? Absurd! ”

Queen Tao's aura is full and her fighting spirit is high.

Obviously, she had expected this situation and had been prepared for it.

The courtiers were not convinced, but they could not refute Empress Tao's words.

Indeed, they are foreign ministers.

There is a difference between intimacy and intimacy inside and outside, can you say wrong?

If someone dies in your family, you must notify your close relatives first, and then your old friends.

Empress Tao softened her tone, "Your Majesty died in a coma, and did not leave a last word before dying. In this matter, the imperial doctor can testify. Fortunately, His Majesty set up the three princes as the prince early, and His Majesty's funeral and the new emperor's accession to the throne still need to be bothered by the Ministry of Rites and the Shaofu. At the time of the national crisis, this palace thinks that everything is simple, and His Majesty agrees. ”

"Obey the will of the queen!"

The officials of the Ministry of Rites were very simple, and the funeral and the new emperor's accession to the throne were their duties.

As for keeping everything simple, it doesn't bother them.

There are extravagant ways to be extravagant, and there are ways to be simple.

There is a precedent for everything, and we will do it according to the experience of our predecessors to ensure that no big mistakes will be made.

Officials of the Ministry of Rites are very active and have begun to calculate the yellow calendar.

The days of the yellow calendar are all memorized in your head, and when you need it, just turn over the memories in your head.

Seven days later, on the auspicious day of the zodiac, it was the right time for the new emperor to ascend the throne.

Empress Tao immediately nodded in agreement, "The so-called country cannot be without a king for a day, and it is also a time when the court is worried about internal and external troubles, and the new emperor will ascend the throne as soon as possible, and it is necessary to stabilize the situation." Do you have any objections? ”

Obviously, Empress Tao is already in control.

Once in power, the taste is incomparably wonderful!
