Chapter Eighty-Three—Heart-to-Heart Friendship between Husband and Wife (Part II)

Zheng Junchao did not deny it, he was also very aware of his wife's determination, and now that he had repeated these words, it showed that this was Bu Lian's preparation. Only, is he really doing something wrong now?

This question Zheng Junchao also asked himself more than once, he didn't know what the original starting point of this idea with the help of the Dark Army was. For the feudal country, he naturally thought about the interests of the feudal country, and the failure of the battle on the Xuanling Continent marked that the power of the feudal country was no longer as good as that of the Qi country.

Originally, he could have made some fuss with the ambition of Li Dan, the minister of Qi State, but Feng Yuchong and others thundered down the rebellion and directly welcomed back Xuan Lejun, the orthodox, which quickly stabilized the internal situation of Qi State.

The battle of the Xuanling Continent, with the defeat of the Chen family of the royal family supported by the feudal state, also marked the official victory of the Empress Chen Xinyu of Shengde supported by the Qi State in the civil war, and in return, the Liguo naturally reached a military alliance with the Qi State, and the Empress Chen Xinyu promised that she would send troops to assist the Qi State and jointly fight against the Feng State.

In this way, with the defeat on the Xuanling Continent and the independence of the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden, the military strength of the feudal kingdom has become weak, and in this situation, it is impossible to resist the coalition forces of the Qi State and the departing country.

As the supreme commander of the army, the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao knew very well what the outcome would be if he was attacked by the Qi State. The two kingdoms of Fengqi, which had been antagonistic and influenced each other for hundreds of years, and had not been able to distinguish the winner or loser, must not perish in his hands.

It was precisely because he wanted to reverse the current decline of the feudal kingdom that Zheng Junchao's thoughts happened to be used by the two messengers, who were very keen to capture Zheng Junchao's thoughts at that time, and naturally used his mentality to successfully lead out the Dark Army.

The first storm set off by the Dark Legion on the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent was to give the sworn enemy of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, the fatal blow of the Qi State, the monarch of the Qi State, Xuan Lejun, and the strength of the Qi State Army was sharply reduced.

In the battle of Xuancheng, the most elite subordinates of Qi were lost, and Qi had lost the capital to continue to fight against the feudal state. At the same time, because of the Dark Legion's large-scale attack on the Qi State, the forces of the Departure and the White-clothed Heavenly Maiden, who had originally promised to assist the Qi State in attacking the Sealed State, began to shift their focus to the Qi State. Bu Yuehan and Chen Xinyu, as well as Kong Hong and others, successively led the army south to assist the Qi State and help the Qi State share the pressure given by the Dark Legion.

The actions of the Dark Legion really made Zheng Junchao feel relieved, he had long wanted to destroy his old enemy Qi State in one fell swoop, and now the Dark Legion helped him hit Qi Country hard, which really made Zheng Junchao very happy, and he realized that this might be an excellent opportunity to completely destroy Qi State.

So, this is the previous time, the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao led 50,000 elite troops of the Feng Kingdom to assist the Dark Legion in attacking the last stronghold of the Qi State at that time——— Huicheng. At that time, he was only thinking about how to completely destroy the Qi State as soon as possible, and he couldn't care about other things.

Zheng Junchao led the army to come, which was exactly in line with the plan that the Dark Evil God had planned from the beginning, and he pretended to cater to Zheng Junchao's idea and promised to help him unify the Hanhai Demon Spirit Continent.

For the dark evil god, Zheng Junchao is a very ideal soul carrier in his mind, imperceptibly, quietly using his dark power to gradually invade Zheng Junchao's soul and spiritual power.

He deliberately placed his soul in Zheng Junchao's spiritual sea temporarily, and his purpose was very simple, that is, under the premise that Zheng Junchao could not predict, he quietly used the advantages existing in his spiritual power level to gradually affect his spiritual sea, so as to gradually control him and take his physical body as his own under the premise that he was unprepared.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yuchong and the others set off a storm in the dark abyss on the Dark Legion's lair, the Sinking Leaf Demon Spirit Continent, they awakened the soul of the vampire bat queen Detena that had not yet been fully controlled, and with the help of her power, silently threatened the body left by the dark evil god in the dark abyss.

As a last resort, the Dark Evil God could only temporarily let go of his plan to control the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao and occupy his physical body, and his soul rushed back to the Shenye Demon Spirit Continent. Although he cared very much about the physical body of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, it was impossible for him to give up his physical body directly because of this. Moreover, in the dark abyss, there is his more important dark army, and he will not give up easily no matter what.

As the soul of the Dark Evil God left the body of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, Zheng Junchao's already affected soul finally got out of the predicament, and he suddenly couldn't make the most effective and correct decision. It turned out that the idea of dividing troops to defend Huicheng Ruocheng was not wise, and it was broken by the armies of the Qi State counterattack.

If the city is fought, the army will suffer heavy losses in the battle. Zheng Junchao left with 50,000 elites, and when he came back, only 20,000 of the Huqing army directly under him remained, and the other 30,000 Fengzhan Hui troops who stayed in the territory of Qi were all encircled and annihilated by the army of Qi.

The loss of more than 30,000 troops is undoubtedly worse for the already weak feudal country. This loss directly doomed the feudal country to no longer have the capital to counterattack the departure of the country and the alliance of the white-clothed goddesses.

"Even if you don't think about yourself, in the last few battles, our feudal army has lost a lot of casualties, and these soldiers can't get compensation and posthumous titles, we are tantamount to losing the support of the people!"

Princess Rong Le persuaded her husband with great pity, hoping that her husband would not miscalculate the situation and make incorrect decisions.

His wife's words hit the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao's heart hard, in fact, he understood that the people in the current feudal country can be said to be in danger and unwilling to join the army, and the fundamental reason is actually because he is not popular with the people.

Although Zheng Junchao succeeded in seizing the power of the feudal state from the hands of the not very wise feudal emperor Guangwu Jun Buling through force. But the royal family, the royal family that has ruled the feudal country for more than 300 years, has an uncontrollable influence in every part of the feudal country.

It is not easy to erase the influence of the royal family, although Zheng Junchao has been committed to this, but it is not easy to really do this?

To this day, there is still the shadow of the royal family in the court of the feudal country, and even his queen, who led the power in the court some time ago, is not a member of the royal family?

The reason why Bu Lian was able to take over the government left by Zheng Junchao in a very short period of time is of course mostly because of her ability and means, which are indeed different from ordinary women. But in fact, this is also inseparable from her identity.

Although Zheng Junchao has great ambitions, he has indeed ascended to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. He vaguely remembered that after he entered Zhongcheng and ascended the throne as emperor, all parts of the country supported the royal family, set off turmoil and rebellion, and the waves of speech against him rose one after another, and it took him several years, and with the help of his wife's name, to quell the turmoil within the feudal country.

His ability is indeed stronger than the inactive Guangwu Jun Buling, but he is indeed too eager for quick success, and after mastering the government, he wants to take advantage of the weakness to attack the Qi State, get rid of his troubles, and establish immortal merits.

Attacked Qi many times, but finally failed for various reasons, internal instability, Qi counterattack, and external forces supported ......

For various reasons, it seems to happen by chance, but in fact it is an inevitable situation. The fundamental reason is that it is due to the internal instability of the feudal state and the improper position of the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, which can be said to be something that will inevitably happen.

Today, the situation within the feudal country is now irreparable, and this decline cannot be changed by the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao alone. What's more, it is still the royal family that has always constrained his government and reforms in all aspects, and he can't fully do it when he was in his heyday, not to mention that at this time, even if he has the heart, he is powerless.

After returning from the territory of Qi to seal the country, the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao did not even have the ability to expel the forces that had left the country and joined forces with the white-clothed Heavenly Maiden forces in Yicheng, let alone truly eliminate the influence of the royal family.

Starting from Bu Qingyun, the royal family has been operating the feudal country for more than 300 years, and the influence of this royal family can be said to have spread throughout the feudal country, and even the Qi country, they still recognize the royal family more than the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao. Of course, their purpose is not so simple, they support the forces of the white-clothed goddess, and the real purpose is to split the country.

But no matter what the purpose is, the relationship between the Qi State and the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao, or the Feng Zhan Society, is absolutely irreconcilable. No matter who it is, as long as it can replace the Feng Zhan Hui and replace Zheng Junchao, Qi will support it.

Even the people and sergeants in Zhongcheng are not fully supporting the Holy Emperor Zheng Junchao now, except for the old department of the Fengzhan Society at the beginning, which is now the Huqing Army, whether it is the Xuanyi Women's Army or the City Gate Army, these subordinates may not be absolutely loyal to Zheng Junchao.

With the arrival of the Dark Army, the crisis that lurked within the feudal kingdom at the beginning has been surging from the beginning, until now it has intensified, and it has almost reached an uncontrollable situation, and Zheng Junchao is about to reach the point of betraying his relatives.

Because of such a crisis, Zheng Junchao invisibly pinned his hopes on the dark army again, he naturally couldn't easily give up the power he held now, even if everyone betrayed his relatives, he didn't want to give up.

Bu Lian has lived with him for twenty years, and she knows her husband's personality and temperament well, and when she sees her husband who is now bowing his head and sighing slightly, she knows that he doesn't want to admit defeat, so she pins her hopes on the dark army.

Bu Lian gently held her husband's hand and continued to quietly comfort: "We don't care about what happened before, but what I want to tell you is that whether you want to continue to cooperate with the Dark Legion or resolutely break away from the Dark Legion, you must grasp the hearts and minds of the people, otherwise no matter which path you take, no one will support you and continue to follow you." ”

Zheng Junchao raised his head slightly, his lips moved slightly, he almost blurted out, if it weren't for the royal family, how could he be in such a situation, but he really couldn't say this.
