On the morning of the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, hundreds of officials advised the army to regain the return, and crusade against the border cities of the Northern Plains, and return the hatred of the slaughter of the city to them, so as to seek justice for the naturalized soldiers and civilians, and slightly shame.

So the question arises, who should lead the army to the north?

The Qin clan's henchmen advised Yu Linwei to instruct Zhong Guangzhao to go on the expedition, on the grounds that Zhong Guangzhao had been naturalized with Taizong's personal expedition, had made military achievements, and had been guarding the intersection of the west and north for many years, familiar with the terrain, and could take on heavy responsibilities.

The Empress Dowager was alarmed.

Because this Zhong Guangzhao is Qin Huaiyu's son-in-law, the sister-in-law of Qin's second grandfather and his mother, it is Zhong Guangzhao's wife.

If he is allowed to lead the troops to the battle, it is easy to hand over the talisman, but it is difficult for the empress dowager to take it back.

If Zhong Guangzhao returns victoriously, it is also justified to hand over the military talisman to the emperor.

Of course, the Son of Heaven was in favor of it.

After the curtain was lowered, the Empress Dowager held on to the handle of the chair, and her eyes became cold.

Because she finally suspected that someone was planning the loss of naturalization, and the purpose was to fight the talisman!

Otherwise, it is really difficult to understand how the general who naturalized the traitor to the enemy could be so bold and reckless, ignoring the family, if he himself ran to the Northern Plains alone, even if he was prosperous and rich, what good would it be?

The Empress Dowager even suspected that the missing generals had their bodies destroyed and disappeared, and that there were others who defected to the enemy and treasoned and opened the gates of the city.

The crime of treason is heinous and widespread, how much profit is it because of how much profit can this rampant act be carried out, and who can afford to give such a big benefit?!

The answer is imminent.

The Empress Dowager's fierce gaze was fixed on the dragon chair in front of the curtain.

In a frenzy! It will never be forgiven!

And after the court meeting, he actually received a military report from Qicheng, which was actually to ask for credit for You'an.

Qi Chengwei instructed that if it weren't for You'an's timely report, the Northern Plains Army would attack Qicheng directly after capturing and naturalizing, and Qicheng would definitely be unable to resist this thunderous momentum.

Of course, asking for merit is one thing, it is important to ask the imperial court for help, the northern plains are heavily armed, not only the cities of Qi are in danger, but also the nine cities of northern Xinjiang are also frightened, and it is expected that the imperial court will deploy troops in time to support the dangerous situation in northern Xinjiang.

It was a coincidence that You'an was spared, and the Empress Dowager sneered.

Coincidentally, he is the in-law of the Qin Mansion again!

But this war is bound to be fought, but the soldier must not be handed over to the Qin party.

The Empress Dowager has been firm and thorough at this moment, if it is really as she expected...... The Son of Heaven deserves to die!

So above the court, there was another admonition, the naturalized border army suffered heavy losses, and the northern plains were menacing, and the local defenders were afraid that it would be difficult to alleviate the imminent situation, so they should transfer the forbidden army to fight.

Wei Guogong is naturally the most qualified general to lead the army.

"Turn the tiger away from the mountain, I see." After hearing the news, he shook his head with a sneer.

The Son of Heaven expected that the Empress Dowager would not hand over the talisman to Zhong Guangzhao, and the only person who was most trustworthy and capable of leading the troops to fight was Wei Guogong.

But knowing that it was a trick of the Son of Heaven, Wei Guogong couldn't refuse.

In fact, he is also full of fighting spirit, and he can't wait to recapture the naturalization, defeat the northern plains, and use the snow to naturalize the hatred of being slaughtered by the enemy.

As soon as Wei Guogong left the capital, Huang Tao, who was the chief guard, had the power to intercept Jingwei.

The Son of Heaven's tricks don't stop there.

Because the Empress Dowager insisted, he "had no choice" to let Wei Guogong lead the army to northern Xinjiang, but proposed that the border was urgent, and Zhong Guangzhao should be transferred to help, Wei Guogong could be the general, Zhong Guangzhao should be the deputy general, the two armies converged, and the deputy general Zhong obeyed the orders of the Wei Guogong.

This reason, the Empress Dowager also cannot refute.

The decree was soon issued.

King Xian invited the Duke of Wei Guo to come to the palace and discuss together.

Yu Feng said bluntly: "Uncle Yue's trip is very difficult, although the saint will not take the ten cities of Northern Xinjiang as a bet, but when Uncle Yue conquers the Northern Plains and the class teacher returns to Beijing, he may be calculated by Zhong Guangzhao." ”

Although the plan of the Son of Heaven is intended to grasp the Jingwei to force the Empress Dowager to cede power, he must not tolerate the return of the Patriotic Public Security and return the military talisman to the Ci'an Palace, which will inevitably lead to Zhong Guangzhao's assassination.

"Then I'll wait for Zhong Guangzhao's means to fight him to the death." In fact, as soon as the naturalization happened, the eldest princess expected the conspiracy behind it one step earlier than the queen mother, because although the eldest princess was not good at selfishness in the house, she had fought on the battlefield in the end, and she was more sensitive to military and political affairs than the queen mother.

With the next action of the Son of Heaven, the eldest princess had almost deduced the whole conspiracy, and had already told the eldest son to be careful in order to prevent Xiao Xiao from plotting.

It's just that this danger must be faced head-on no matter what, and it can't be avoided, and the eldest princess and Wei Guogong don't want to avoid it.

"My expedition, Jingwei will fall into the hands of Huang Tao, but his prestige is insufficient, the Empress Dowager has come to the court, if something happens, there is an edict from the Empress Dowager, most of the Jingwei will not let Huang Tao order, I have explained the details to Xun'er, the matter of the capital, I will entrust it to the two highnesses." Wei Guogong explained to King Xian's father and son.

In fact, as soon as the naturalization came out, the eldest princess no longer hesitated, and was indignant, saying that the Son of Heaven had brought disaster to the country and the people, which was unforgivable, so she made up her mind to help the Emperor of Ci'an Palace to abolish the emperor, and before that, Wei Guogong's surveillance of Huang Tao has not been relaxed, and those who have been enveloped by the Beijing guard official Wei Guogong knows that the specific situation has been handed over to the eldest son, who should be prevented, and who will never give in to Huang Tao, such as carefully, Wei Guogong has been listed, and his own cronies, of course, there is also an explanation.

However, this time, it is important to recapture the northern plains, and most of the henchmen of Wei Guogong have to accompany the front line, and the situation in Beijing is slightly stalemate.

"Father-in-law should be careful, in all matters in Beijing, the son-in-law will discuss and act with the eldest brother, third uncle, etc." Yu Feng said.

The division guard who had just severed the in-law relationship with the Qin family instructed Jiang Sanye, and this time he was also circled by the Son of Heaven in the scope of the expedition, obviously because Jiang Sanye "surrendered" to Ci'an Palace, which made the Son of Heaven jealous.

The Empress Dowager did not object, apparently not noticing that the Son of Heaven would immediately launch a coup d'état to force her to relinquish power, and thought that the Son of Heaven's conspiracy was just to fight for the talisman.

It was Sanniang's husband Cai Zhen, the commander of the Shenji battalion, who was almost ordered by the Son of Heaven to follow the army, but the king still gave advice in time, saying that Kyoto could not be taken precautions, and the empress dowager was alert, and found an excuse that Cai Zhen was young and vigorous but not qualified enough, and left him in the capital.

In late August, Wei Guogong led more than 30,000 troops from the six divisions of Beijing and Wei to prepare for departure, but the letter of state was delivered to Xiliang.

It is the king of Xiliang who consciously hangs old, and there are many difficulties, and he wants to Zen in Dajun, remembering that Dajun is the blood of the Dalong royal family, and allows him to return to his homeland first to pay tribute to his ancestors.

Yu Feng received a private letter, which was written by Yin Yong, and learned that Xiliang had heard that the naturalization had been lost, and the northern plains had once again forced the border of Dalong, and the monarch's trip should have another purpose.

There are two good news, one is that An Jin has successfully given birth, and both mother and son are safe.

There is another thing, but the prince has already handed over Xiaoxiao after getting the letter from Yijing, this time with Xiliang's envoy, Yin Yong and his wife should also return to China, Xiaoxiao is already in the hands of his husband and wife.

"The situation in Kyoto is chaotic, do you want Xiaoxiao to stay in Chuzhou temporarily?" Although Yijing hated to be reunited with her daughter immediately, she couldn't help but worry when she thought of the next turmoil.

"Since An Ran and his entourage are returning with the Xiliang mission, there is no excuse to stay in Chuzhou." Yu Feng frowned, since the Empress Dowager announced to the public that she was not taken captive, but was ordered to live in Chuzhou for a while, Xiaoxiao could only stay in Chuzhou temporarily, and it was impossible to say that she was detained by Qi Jiatang as a hostage, this matter has come to an end, An Ran passed through Chuzhou again this time, and there is no reason not to take her daughter back for reunion.

"It's okay, the Son of Heaven is bound to lose this time, I will never let him succeed, Xiaoxiao is good when he comes back." Yu Feng had to make up his mind.

Chongyang in September.

The battle report was sent back from the northern Xinjiang, and the first battle of the Patriotic Gong was victorious, and more than 10,000 generals of the Northern Plains Army were captured.

The Xiliang mission has also been allowed to enter the country and is on its way to Jinyang.

Before the Wei Guogong led the army to travel, the imperial history Lu Jian folded up, invited himself to be the imperial history of the army, and vowed to thoroughly investigate the treason and defection to the enemy and the killing of the real murderer, and the empress dowager allowed it.

also explained to Wei Guogong, to seize the return, and to conquer the Northern Plains is the first priority, but he must also cooperate with Lu Jian, no matter who is involved in the loss of naturalization, find out the truth, and never tolerate it.

The Empress Dowager is obviously also determined to not tolerate this evil of cruelty to Zhongliang's "self-sacrifice territory" if she sees that the son of heaven really does this.

A series of things that were originally being prepared were originally only for the Qin family, but at this point, the Empress Dowager obviously changed her mind.

So the girl Ziruo, who was trapped in the court, finally looked forward to the "dawn" of getting out of the predicament.

And at this moment, Qin Huaiyu swept away the depression and anxiety of the previous days, although the family moved out of the mansion, but still had the leisure to hold a banquet, of course, with a high-sounding reason - to celebrate the victory of the Dalong army in the first battle, and to seize the hope of return.

In fact, it is to take this opportunity to wrap up the old and prepare for the next plan.

His actions were noticed by the Empress Dowager, and she didn't even bother to sneer.

The queen also noticed some rumors, thinking that Ci'an Palace was in danger, and this period of time was actually very quiet, but Chongyang had just passed, and she waited for the bad news that her biological mother Ou was immediately executed.

In public, strangled!

The people of Kyoto gave many high-fives.

The poor lady of the famous family fell into such a panic that everyone shouted to kill, and at the last moment of her life, she looked around, only filled with righteous indignation, without half sympathy.

Her daughter, who risked her life to protect her, was trapped in the deep palace, and she could only cry for it.

And none of her family, which she had no choice but to protect, didn't even come here to see her off.

The rope was wrapped around his neck, and Ou finally laughed mockingly.

I don't know if I'm laughing at myself, or laughing at her former husband's family, those who watched her die, but didn't even give it a cold eye.

Queen Mother, the concubine has done her best, and in the future, I only hope that you will know for yourself.
