The imperial city of Tianlong Mansion, in the courtyard, is surrounded by trees full of flowers, purple and red, competing for beauty. At this time, these flowers are falling like snowflakes under the shock of a gust of wind, someone is practicing the gun, the marksmanship is exquisite, the tiger is vigorous, the person who can practice the gun more than ten meters away will shake the petals down must be vindictive, the person who practices the gun is Longshan, he played the Longjia overlord gun from the first to the sixth style, "Bang!", after the practice, the gun stood beside him, and exhaled a long breath.

Zhang Chong came to the courtyard early, watched Long Shan come over after practicing the gun, approached Long Shan's side, and wanted to speak, but Long Shan suddenly asked: "Zhang Chong, do you want to understand why Your Majesty wants to hand over the military affairs of the frontier to the princess and Murong Hei?"

Zhang Zhong said without thinking: "Presumably, Your Majesty trusts the princess and the prime minister very much, and the princess is very interested in these affairs, so it is not surprising that the prime minister will assist her in handling them." ”

"General Zhang Chong. Long Shan didn't look at him, but picked up his gun and walked forward, saying: "You should know that this matter related to military, political and military power has always been handled by His Majesty Emperor Ming, and yesterday I saw that none of the ministers in this imperial city objected to this matter, I think things are not so simple." ”

Zhang Zhong followed and said, "Now that Your Majesty is not in good health, the last general thinks that Your Majesty is only temporarily handed over to them to deal with, and after his body recovers, he will naturally take back his life." ”

Long Shan stopped and said, "I'm afraid it's too late, and Your Majesty's health has never improved for so many years." ”

Zhang Chongdao: "That being the case, Your Majesty can't take care of everything now, and it's understandable to hand over some affairs to the princess and prime minister." ”

Long Shan glanced back at him and said, "No matter how good his body is, he can't give such an important matter to others, if he really can't even handle these affairs, then he really can't be the king of this country." ”

When Zhang Chong heard this, he was silent.

A red orb was suddenly shining, and Emperor Ming's sad eyes were looking at this orb, and he sighed: "It's really not the right time for you to shine." ”

At this time, a voice came from outside the house: "Erchen Mingyao asks to see." ”

"Come in. Emperor Ming picked up a piece of cloth, covered the orb, and put it in the box.

Princess Ming Yao came in, and after seeing His Majesty's actions, she said, "Father, you are looking at this jewel again, is it really so accurate?"

"I don't know if it's accurate, this orb has been made by the space system demon master since the first monarch of the Ming Dragon Empire, and it hasn't been lit for almost two hundred years, as long as it lights up, it means that the Long family is plotting to rebel. Emperor Ming coughed, and then said: "It's a war now, how could the Long family choose this time, my father can't figure it out." ”

"Father. Princess Ming Yao sat beside him and said, "Is this orb really just for the Long family?"

His Majesty Emperor Ming took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said: "This matter is a long story, and it is also the secret of my Minglong Empire, I will not say it easily until the last moment, but now it is time to tell you again, my father just told you before that this is made by a space magister, as long as it is bright, someone in the Long family will rebel, why is it only against the Long family, it is because it is made by the magistor with the blood of the first monarch of my Minglong Empire and the ancestors of the Long family." ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Ming began to cough again, Ming Yao was surprised and couldn't wait to know the ins and outs of the whole thing, she patted Emperor Ming's back and asked, "Father, what the hell is going on?"

After Emperor Ming stabilized, he said slowly: "In the year 768 of the Tianxuan calendar, the government of the Tianxuan Empire, the strongest and largest empire of mankind at that time, was corrupt and oppressed the people, and other foreign races invaded again, which made the Tianxuan Empire complain and the people were miserable. The populace in the northeastern corner of the empire were the first to revolt against the government. The imperial family immediately sent people to lead troops to suppress, and the president of the imperial expeditionary force led Yue Ying to quell the chaos in less than a month, but since then, Yue Ying has begun to cultivate power in the imperial capital after taking control of the military power, and he has been unable to control him, when he is ready to expand his power to various local provinces, the governors and governors of various places reacted, and they were unwilling to sit still, ready to unite against Yue Ying, the joint forces at that time had Lingyun in the north, Ren Zhensheng in the northeast to the south, and Yang Rong, the female commander of the border guards in the southeast, The heart of the Duke of Protector in the south, and the military commanders of the two provinces in our Xichuan region, Ming Qianqiu and Long Dingtian. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The combined army soon fought with Yue Ying, and Yue Ying suffered a crushing defeat and retreated to the imperial capital. In the end, the combined army rose up to the final blow, and after breaking through the imperial capital, in the name of eradicating the remnants of Yue Ying's forces, it carried out a massacre in Chengnei for three days and three nights. Naturally, no one would admit that the emperor of the imperial family at that time was killed by whose forces, and now it is also a mystery. Of course, after the coalition army occupied the imperial capital, it announced to the people of the world that the emperor had been killed by Yue Ying, and there was no heir to be found, and a new person was to be elected to lead the empire. Everyone led their men and horses to discuss in the center of the imperial capital, Ling Yun, who was in charge of the coalition army at that time, was the only one to sit in this position, Duke Xinye was the first to object, although the other forces did not speak, but naturally they would not agree, Ling Yun wanted to start a war with Xinye, and the saber rattling. However, when these two forces saw that the other forces were indifferent to their actions, and the magicians were all in position and eager to try, Xinye shouted slowly, he immediately realized that after the combined army fought with Yue Ying, the rest were the elites of each force, if anyone started the war first, after both sides were defeated, the other forces would destroy them in one fell swoop, so Xinye shouted loudly that the commanders were fighting hard, but they could go back to their places to rest, and the matter of the imperial commander's recommendation would be discussed another day. Hearing this, the various forces exchanged glances with each other, and after sinister sneers, they left the waste capital with their own troops. ”

When Emperor Ming said this, he coughed again, Ming Yao poured him a glass of water, and after Emperor Ming sucked lightly, he said: "As for how the president could not be elected after that, how Ling Yun and Xinye were the first to start a war, how Ren Zhensheng and Yang Rong formed an alliance with the beast clan and the demon clan respectively, and how each force established its own empire, you already know very well in the history books, so my father won't say much." ”

Ming Yao was already a little impatient with what he said earlier, and said, "Well, father, tell me about this red orb." ”

Emperor Ming chuckled lightly and said: "Don't worry, my father will tell you more details, our founding emperor Ming Qianqiu and the ancestor of the Long family, Long Dingtian, are friends who are irreversible, they have studied together in Tianxuan Academy, and they have also served as officials in the imperial capital, and finally they were assigned to Xichuan together as governors and military commanders." The two were like-minded, like siblings, and later became brothers, the first emperor Ming Qianqiu was two years old and became a righteous brother. When forming a joint army to crusade against Yue Ying, the two could be used as two forces, but they only cooperated with one force, Emperor Ming Qianqiu Ancestor was the president, and Long Dingtian was the deputy commander. In fact, after the United Army defeated Yue Ying and disbanded, the two must also join forces, because Ling Yun and Xinye both occupy a large area of land and both have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and there are many fierce generals, and the first emperor Ming Qianqiu and Long Dingtian each have 100,000 troops, and they also suffered heavy losses when they crusaded against Yue Ying, if it were not for the steep and dangerous terrain of Xichuan, it would be difficult for them to confront Ling Yun and Xinye, and on the way to retreat from the abandoned capital, they picked up the jade seal of the Tianlong Inheritance of the Tianxuan Empire, so they felt that they wanted to establish their own empire and unify the continent in the future。 The two worked together to fight against foreign enemies, and their mutual trust can be said to be beyond limit. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Ming sighed slightly and said: "It is precisely because they have too deep a righteous relationship, even after the first emperor Ming Qianqiu established his own empire in this troubled era, he still insisted that the two of them sit on an equal footing, and even the country name used two surnames and established them as Minglong." But Long Dingtian is also deep in the truth that there are no two kings in the country, he respects the first emperor Ming Qianqiu as the eldest brother, and he led the troops to Xuanyin Province to guard. In this process, most of the henchmen and generals under the first emperor suggested that Long Dingtian be eliminated, but they were all shouted back by the first emperor. Some people also say that when the empire is newly established, it will kill meritorious officials and lose the support of the people. The border defense is still unstable, and the fierce general Long Dingtian is indispensable. ”

After a pause, he said: "With Long Dingtian's strength at that time, it is difficult to get rid of him, the Long family has an ancestral elixir that can promote the cultivation of fighting qi, Long Dingtian has cultivated a wolf and tiger division with this elixir, and has repelled the Xinye Army many times, but this also makes the henchmen of the first emperor of the imperial city very jealous. Therefore, at that time, a space magister under the first emperor, after discussing privately with the generals, was ready to arrange people to spy on the Long family army, and these people who arranged it were absolutely loyal to the first emperor, because the demon master had already set a curse on them, and they were controlled by this curse for generations, and they would help the imperial city deal with the Long family army whenever necessary. Despite this, the queen at that time was still not at ease. She found the space magister herself and asked for a foolproof solution. Under the queen's questioning, the magic master said that there is a way, but it is more difficult and dangerous, which requires the blood of the first emperor Ming Qianqiu and the ancestor of the Long family, Long Dingtian, this matter must be carried out very secretly, once discovered, the friendship between the first emperor Ming Qianqiu and Long Dingtian does not know what to do with them. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Ming stopped, took a sip of water, and took out the orb again. Looking at this red orb with flashing red light, Ming Yao hurriedly asked, "Father, how did they get the blood later?"

Emperor Ming said again: "This matter is difficult to say, easy to say. The blood of the first emperor Ming Qianqiu was given to the queen by the magister, and after the queen gave the first emperor a kind of **, after the queen gave the first emperor in the wine, when she went to bed at night, the queen used the needle given by the magister to draw a little blood of the first emperor Ming Qianqiu. As for Long Dingtian's blood, he asked a secret agent sent to the Long family to be a military doctor, and when Long Dingtian was injured, the secret agent military doctor bandaged his wound and secretly took blood, this matter has been carried out in secret, and no one else can know about it, although this secret agent does not know what the blood is used for, but the magic master still secretly executed him after taking the blood. ”

Ming Yao couldn't help asking, "Aren't the secret agents all cursed, why do they still want to be executed?"

Emperor Ming said: "Curses can sometimes be broken, and only by executing the secret agent can we ensure that nothing goes wrong." The space magister took the blood of the first emperor Ming Qianqiu and Long Dingtian and mixed it together to make this orb, and gave it a magic spell, which will glow when the two bloods are repulsed, that is, when someone in the Long family wants to rebel. ”

Ming Yao asked again: "If we want to get rid of the Long Family Army, will it be bright?"

Emperor Ming said: "No, because the spell set by the Magister at that time was aimed at the Long family." This matter has been hidden from the first emperor Ming Qianqiu, and the queen also secretly told the crown prince about this matter before her death, that is, the second monarch of the Minglong Empire, and then the successive kings told the heirs before jumping. ”

"Father's ......" Speaking of driving, Ming Yao couldn't help but be moved.

Emperor Ming raised his hand to stop Ming Yao from speaking, and said again: "There are only three people who know about this matter now, you, Father Emperor and Murong Hei. ”

Ming Yao asked, "How could the prime minister know that his father told him?"

Emperor Ming shook his head lightly and said, "How could Father tell others about this matter so easily, Murong Hei was the third-generation disciple of that space demon master back then, I think his teacher told him." ”

Ming Yao said, "Why did that space demon master still tell his disciple about this?"

Emperor Ming said: "This father doesn't know, Murong Hei has been loyal for many years, and it's nothing if he knows." ”

Ming Yao stretched out his hand and touched the red orb, and said, "Father, now that this orb is shining like this, shouldn't we be ready to deal with the Long family?"

Emperor Ming sighed: "We don't have conclusive evidence that the Long family is going to rebel now, and the border defense of Xuanyin Pass really needs the Long family, and my father doesn't know how to deal with it for a while, but the preparation for guarding against it is definitely there." By the way, did you find any changes in the Long Family Army when you went to Dragon City this time?"

Ming Yao thought for a while and said: "I didn't find anything dissatisfied with the empire in the Long Family's army, but the Long Family's army is indeed well-trained and high-spirited, although I haven't seen them fight, but they have been fighting at the border for many years, and their combat effectiveness will definitely not be bad." ”

Emperor Ming said: "The army takes obedience to orders as its duty, as long as you master his leadership system, no matter how strong his combat effectiveness is, we don't have to be afraid, have you seriously investigated, now except for Longshan, who can control the Long family army." ”

Ming Yao thought back to her experience of going to Longcheng this time, and said: "As long as Longshan is there in the Longjia army now, the cohesion of the army is very strong, if he is not there, the people who can really command the army should be a few generals under him, but the Longjia army is hereditary, and the one who formally controls the army should be Longshan's eldest son Longquan." Father, what should we do now?"

Emperor Ming coughed when he heard this, raised his head, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought. Seeing him like this, Ming Yao didn't ask questions, silently waiting for him to answer. After a while, Emperor Ming slowly opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "Yaoyao, set up a banquet in the palace in two days, invite Longshan to the banquet, let's get in touch with this unfathomable marshal first." ”
