Star-studded and breezy.

The brightly lit imperial city is like a flaming Wolong in the endless dark night, with red light and steaming steam.

It was a lively night, a festive night, and it was the most wonderful lantern festival of the year in Southern Chongqing.

Every year, the streets and alleys of the entire imperial city will be dissatisfied with all kinds of lanterns and various forms of lantern-related activities.

For example, guessing lantern riddles, putting Kong Ming lanterns, visiting the temple market to see the lanterns, and taking a boat into the river to enjoy the lanterns.

And every year at this time, the famous swingers in the imperial city will have a good time today, after all, such a beautiful day, there will always be encounters with many people.

At the same time, those well-known beauties in fine clothes and jade satin are also in the city of falling and generous, and what they want in their hearts coincides with the well-known sons and brothers.

And at this time of the year, the Liujiang River in the imperial city is the most lively place in the whole place.

After all, the annual selection of the lantern is here, and the selection of each lantern is personally supervised by the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the six departments of the imperial city.

If you are lucky, you may see the concubines and talented people who do not leave the city and go out of the city to enjoy the lanterns one by one under the leadership of the queen.

However, this year will definitely not be like this, after all, this year is an eventful year, and it is not stable in the imperial city.

However, the people who were still immersed in the lantern festival with beautiful and delicate flowers could not imagine what kind of heavy blow they would receive after they were so happy.

After all, the joy of life is really common in the world.

I saw that in the imperial study in the palace, the emperor Lao'er was looking at the bloodstained music with a miserable expression, and the people who were also gathered in the imperial study at this time were also very depressed at the moment.

I saw His Majesty the Emperor's trembling hands throw the music to the ground, and then said with some frustration: "What do you ministers think?" ”

I saw a little-known military department Shangshu take the lead in stepping forward, picked up the fold and read it carefully, after all, this is a secret edict sent back from the front line, it stands to reason that it must first go through the military department before it will be handed over to the imperial court, but at this moment, this piece of the book is directly to the palace, and he, the soldier on the bright side, has to be the first to read it.

It's just that the squire of the military department, who has only read half of the chapters, is already colorless at the moment, and when he finishes all the twists and turns, he is trembling with horror, standing unsteadily, swaying his body directly, and fainting.

When the emperor Lao'er saw this, he was immediately furious, and angrily smashed the royal ebony paperweight at the soldier and scolded: "The soldier waiter? You are a dignified general, and you are so useless? What do you want? Someone dragged me out and beheaded me. ”

Many officials present stepped forward to dissuade the emperor, after all, so far, everyone has not seen clearly what happened, but His Majesty the Emperor is already angry, isn't this disgusted with the incompetence of many officials present.

I saw that His Majesty the Emperor still didn't care about it, frantically smashing the squire of the military department with things, and then continued to shout: "The country will not be a country!" How many of you martial artists and civil servants who have a lotus tongue and a honey-bellied sword on weekdays are really the pillars of the country? Heaven is dead in Nanyu. ”

When many ministers heard that His Majesty the Emperor was so uplifted to the sky and sighed, what happened must be a big deal, and then a group of people rushed together to peruse the secret information passed on to the recital.

"Xiyue raised troops to commit again, Beidi and the soldiers have gone down to Chenguan, the seven tribes of Wali are in turmoil, and the Central Plains Daqin has reached the mouth of the river, and millions of heroes are eyeing it."

When everyone read this secret letter, their whole body was as cold as falling into an ice cave, and the things recorded on this secret letter were really too incredible.

Xiyue and Beidi are both old rivals of Nanyu, so even if everyone thinks that the alliance between the two is attacking and Nanyu is in danger, they will never destroy the country and extinct the species.

Even if the seven tribes of Wali rebelled in the southwest mountains of Nanyu at the same time, Nanyu would not be so frightened, after all, it was a border mountainous area, and it was a time of chaos, and when Nanyu calmed down the external troubles, there was time to deal with the indigenous people in these mountains.

However, the Great Qin in the back reached the mouth of the river, and the people who were instantly shocked did not belong, you must know that Nanyu, Xiyue, and Beidi are just weak countries outside the territory far from the real battlefield of the Central Plains.

Even though Nanyu covers a large area and can be as vast as half of the territory of Great Qin, their paradise is only because of a cold river that separates the two worlds from tranquility.

You must know that the Central Plains Shenzhou is the place where the dragons and tigers in the world fight, during which the Seven Heroes of the Warring States are the famous Seven Divine Kingdoms in the legendary holy land, and these divine kingdoms are all relying on the iron hooves under the crotch, the spears in their hands and the rest of the neighboring countries in the harsh environment of land division and gradually growing up seven behemoths.

However, among these seven behemoths, the national strength of the Chu State is the most powerful, and the army of the Qi State is the most mysterious, but these are not the people they don't want to see the last time these weak countries outside the territory.

Because they have an opponent they don't want to see even more, and that is the so-called incomparable Great Qin Empire.

For this country claims to be the most cruel and unscrupulous, and it is a terrible empire that never takes in the weak, and never allows its opponents to surrender.

Especially when there was a self-proclaimed Bai Qi Daqin killing general, he killed 400,000 prisoners and became famous in the first battle.

Since then, there has been a murderous name of a person in the world, that is, this Bai Qi.

However, at this moment, the terrible Qin army, which had only one way to die, was already at the mouth of the river at this time, how could Emperor Nanyu not despair.

Because the Qin army did not grow an inch of grass when they crossed the border, whether it was horizontal or vertical, their Nanyu Empire was estimated to have been annihilated.

After all, although there is a dangerous cold river separated by a river, but at this time, Nanyu can be said to be suffering from the enemy, internal and external troubles, how can it be possible to have the strength to confront the millions of heroes at the mouth of the cold river.

After all, there are only two generals in the entire Southern Chongqing Kingdom, Murong Jin and Xia Lingsheng, and at this time, they are already in chaos everywhere, and the two of them are also lacking in skills.

Could this be the death of the heavens?

Just when everyone was at a loss, a firm and powerful voice came out of the prime minister's mouth: "The minister implores Your Majesty to send an envoy to negotiate peace. ”

His Majesty the Emperor smiled miserably when he heard this: "Old man Xie, the widow has given you a chance to let you go to the Great Qin Warring States, do you dare?" If you succeed, what's the matter if the widow directly plans Xie Xiran as the next prime minister. ”

"Your Majesty, this is too child's play? The courtiers objected," the courtiers said in a noisy voice.

"The country will not be a country, and you are still intriguing here. How domineering was the Warring States of Great Qin? You don't know? If any of you can send an envoy to the Warring States of Great Qin and negotiate peace, what if the widow sends him a prime minister? ”

In an instant, there was silence in the imperial study, and there was no sound.

The Qin State is arrogant and domineering, how famous, "The two countries exchange troops, and they don't kill them." "This kind of sage etiquette can not be seen in the Great Qin Warring States.

How could everyone who knew about this matter be sent to death directly as a bird?

Although dying early and dying late is death, after all, it is good to take two more breaths of fresh air.

The ants are still stealing their lives, not to mention these high-ranking pillars of the Southern Chongqing Kingdom.

When Emperor Lao'er saw the many officials who were as quiet as cicadas at the moment, he was furious for a while, and his combat strength was a little unstable, and he seemed to be crumbling in a trance.

At this moment, Xie Xiran's prime minister's grandfather actually took another step before the case of His Majesty the Emperor, and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty may have misunderstood, what I mean by sending envoys to negotiate peace is to send envoys to Xiyue and Beidi, as long as the war between these two countries is stopped, we can draw troops from it and transfer it to the east to the mouth of the river, in case the million-strong army of Great Qin flies across the Hanjiang River." After all, it's much easier to negotiate with this barbarian? ”

His Majesty the Emperor seemed to come to his senses and said, "Then how can we get these two countries to agree to peace?" ”

"This matter is not difficult, there are no eggs under the nest, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, as long as the two countries name the interests and harms, maybe they will have to help us defend the cold river. After all, no matter where they cross the river from the Hanjiang River, these million heroes will definitely encroach on this extraterritorial world. ”

After hearing this, the emperor relaxed a lot for a while, because in his mind, this was already a perfect plan, and at the same time, it seemed that the probability of success of this plan was very high.

......

The next day, His Majesty the Emperor sent Xie Xiran, the grandson of the old prime minister, to send an envoy to Xiyue for the Xiyue Peace Mission, and Chaoyang of the Military Department to send an envoy to Beidi for the Beidi Council and the Mission.

And Murong Jin went directly to the Bianxi Barren Ridge to lead the Bianxi Mansion Army to quell the rebellion of the Wari Seven Clans.

Jinhua Palace.

Xie Fanghua slowly shook the child in the cradle alone, and then looked at His Majesty the Emperor's heir and said: "It's going to change the sky, it's really going to change the sky, but it's a pity that it's not the world I want." ”

Qingzhi looked at Niangniang blankly, unable to understand what Xie Fanghua said for a while, after all, having followed Xie Fanghua's side for a long time, Qingzhi can almost be said to be the person who knows Niangniang best.

She knew why Xie Fanghua forcibly entered the palace back then; She knows how much Niangniang has suffered over the years in order to become a night in Nanyu; He knew how much his mother loved Chen Zhiyu; She also knew how difficult the only lovesick pain in her heart was.

However, at this moment, Qingzhi didn't understand what Xie Fanghua was thinking, as if Xie Fanghua had suddenly become another person today.

......

At the pass outside the imperial city, Chen Zhiyi rode a fast horse and drove smoke and dust, galloping all the way, and finally blocked the way in front of Xie Enran's mission carriage.

"Why don't you just say a word to me and leave?"

"The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, there is no delay, and it is urgent to go."

"Then I'm outside the carriage now, why haven't you come out yet?"

Xie Eran waved his hand to dismiss the guards and said to Chen Zhiyu: "Now that I'm out, you can say it." ”

"Isn't it up to you to say what?"

Xie Eran was speechless for a while, resisting the urge to hug Chen Zhiyan and bowed his hand, "Wait for me." ”

Then he waved his arm and said, "Let's go." ”

.......

It is also outside the imperial city, by the ancient road.

Xie Fanghua looked at Murong Jin and said, "Did I do something wrong?" ”

"That's right."

"But why is this the end?"

Murong Jin sighed helplessly: "This is fate." ”

Then a whip swung onto the horse's hips, "Precious." ”
