Chapter 891: Change of Throne

The haze of war has been floating in the sky above the imperial capital, this has a history of more than 500 years of Tianlong capital, from the day of completion, it seems to have become the battlefield of the brother Xiao Wall, throughout the history, the prince's army came to the city to change the dynasty no less than seven or eight times.

In the palace surrounded by the heads of ten thousand dragons, there was a sudden scream, and the entire forbidden palace was alarmed by this cry, the Tianlong Dynasty did not raise eunuchs, and in the harem, there were mostly palace maids, and these inner palace directors of the Tianlong Dynasty did not have much power, at most they helped the emperor to manage the property.

In this huge harem, although there are not three thousand beauties, there are also eight hundred palace maids, and these palace maids naturally cannot be hired by ordinary people at will, most of these palace maids are from the rich nobles of the empire, the daughters of wealthy families, according to the rules, ordinary palace maids in the palace only need to stay in the palace for two years to leave this huge palace.

Of course, after entering this harem, these women are naturally what the emperor wants, as the so-called iron battalion, flowing soldiers, the harem system is too comfortable for the emperor of the Tianlong Dynasty, and nothing will happen during the Taiping period, but when it comes to this kind of troubled times, this harem system is a big gap.

Situ Ming is not a promiscuous emperor, or even a new emperor with a bit of ambition, but in recent days, Situ Ming's life has not been easy at all, the pride and ambition of the past have been shattered by reality, the two princes are under the city, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the Gyeonggi area have surrendered without a fight.

And he thought that the great general Bai Qi was transferred to the south by its edict, and his biggest pillar, the Dongfang family, suffered a fatal defeat at sea, it is said to be the fleet of the Fuso people, this nation that has been taught twice by the empire, but always unrepentant, Situ Ming hated that he could not destroy it directly.

But Situ Ming is now more than capable of doing so, the court will be exempted from the court for several days, and now the imperial decree can't get out of the city gate at all, and the piles of military events are piled up like waste paper into a hill.

Situ Ming, who was only in his twenties, was a child spoiled by the queen, in the case of successive setbacks, Situ Ming began to give up on himself, beauty, wine seems to have become the best paralyzing thing, since he ascended the throne, Situ Ming, who has always been diligent, seems to have changed as a person, drunk every day, lying on the bed.

And the palace maids in the palace also began to be unlucky, but all the palace maids who went to serve Situ Ming were all pressed on the bed by him without exception, for several days, the palace maids began to endanger themselves, although they came to this palace to exchange interests, but more still hope to survive these two years, and then go out of the palace innocently, adding a few halos to them, and now this situation, obviously this little emperor will not be long, at this time to be overthrown, either a blessing or a curse.

The palace maid was as afraid as a tiger, but some people volunteered, so it was another night when the lights were on, and in the emperor's bedroom, Situ Ming was easily pierced through the heart and died on his bed in a half-drunk and half-dream.

Situ Ming died, the entire harem suddenly became a mess, and the queen mother who got the news, although Situ Ming's mother hurriedly asked people to block the forbidden China, but the news of Situ Ming's death was quickly transmitted, and Wanlong City rolled up a tsunami again.

Originally, the haze over Wanlong City seemed to be a little clearer because of Situ Ming's collapse, Prince Qing's army did not attack the city, and the forbidden army at the head of the city was also greatly relieved, because this battle could not be fought, and the rest was the game inside and outside the city, negotiations, and everything entered another track.

No one will be martyred for Situ Ming, perhaps, the decline of the Dongfang family is almost a foregone conclusion, and the scenery of the queen mother will also become a cloud of the past, the imperial city forbidden army, the guards, and will not be die-loyal, because this force is only loyal to the empire and the reigning emperor.

As soon as Situ Ming died, they would not fight for a dead emperor, which was also unique to the Tianlong Dynasty, and now, they would be loyal to a new emperor, and before that, they would faithfully guard the safety of the imperial capital.

"It's so easy to solve, it's really boring, the Forbidden Army, what does the commander of the Guards mean?" Situ Hao looked at Wanlong City in the distance, which was still lit by thousands of fires, even when the war was coming, the city was still a city that never sleeped, because no matter how the masters in this city rotated, it would not affect their enjoyment.

"Back to Your Highness, the meaning of the two commanders is very clear, as long as Your Highness ascends the throne as the emperor, the forbidden army and the two armies of the guards will be loyal to you, and before that, the two armies will strictly follow the amnesty order in the army, protect the safety of the imperial capital, and protect the safety of the imperial city! ”

"Hmph, those old guys, that's fine, I should thank them for speaking of which, it doesn't matter if the soldiers and horses don't enter, the cabinet people have a conclusion!"

"Your Highness, the cabinet has set a day to welcome His Highness into the city, but the previous emperor just died, but it will take some time to deal with the funeral, and then it will be your succession ceremony, this process can't be bad, even if it is the fastest, it will take some time to deal with it, I hope His Royal Highness can let go of the city ban!"

Situ Hao snorted, although he was very disdainful of his dead brother, but he was in the mood, and there was no way, but he would not bother with a dead man: "I know about this, tomorrow I will order the whole army to abandon the siege, except for some soldiers and horses, the army will march west!"

Now that he is the emperor, it is almost ironclad, but he doesn't want to fall into the fate of his ninth brother, and next to the imperial capital, there is still his third brother Situ Yun's Youzhou army, and now is a good time.

The Youzhou Army is based on the three major legions of Youzhou, and the two forbidden army corps, with nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses loyal to Situ Yun, and most of them are northern border troops, which are quite combative.

But now it is much easier, the Hu cavalry in the north to the south, the Tang army in Zhongzhou in the south directly swept most of Youzhou like two big pincers, and the Youzhou army was cut off from the back road, and this time the army of nearly 200,000 people marched into Gyeonggi, but they did not carry much grain and grass, the nest was gone, the grain and grass were not enough, and there were two wolves in front of them.

The army marched westward, the envoy went first, the situation in front of him clearly showed that the Youzhou army was in decline, it was difficult to last long, Situ Hao coveted the more than 200,000 troops, if he could receive this army of soldiers and horses, his throne would be able to sit more securely, and except for the two brothers of Daxi, Liang and Yong, no one could compete with him, and obviously with the foundation of Liangzhou and Yongzhou, it was impossible to compete with him.

The position under his ass can't be more stable, but this position is about to sit down, but he has more things to worry about, in the south of Qingzhou, Situ Ming's arms are white and there are still 200,000 elites in his hands, and the insatiable Fusang devils have to think of a way to send them away, and the Tang army in Youzhou, Beihu will also become enemies.

The whole north still seems to be very chaotic, and the war depends on money and grain, Situ Hao thought of Chu and Yang again, these two states are the imperial rice warehouse and the gold warehouse, but I don't know if that guy will go back on his word, raise the anti-flag, and oppose him.

The tide in the north gradually fell, and the situation became clearer and clearer, but in the southwest of Chuzhou, which was tens of thousands of miles away, Leng Zhuo was in retreat again, but this time the retreat was not because of anything else, but to think of a way to get rid of the holy beast Minotaur.

In Ziyang County, countless carts loaded with a large number of demonic beast materials were transported to Vermilion Bird City, and some of them would be transported to Red Earth City to be made into armor.

The south is in a rare peace.

But compared to the dusty north, and the peaceful south, the western part of the empire is turbulent.

In the southeast of Liangzhou, the Huangshui Valley, a tributary of the Qinluo River, in this valley, there is the first gate to enter the Liang, the Huangshui Daye City, and it is also the springboard for Liangzhou to enter Zhongzhou.

Liangzhou is located in the northwest of the empire, the rolling Qinluo River divides Liangzhou into East Liang, West Liang, East Liang is in the Qinluo River several types of river channels, the middle is the Qinchuan Mountains, there are many rivers, some valleys have a humid climate, the most suitable for people to live, plus the rich mines here, resulting in the relative wealth here, the only drawback is that the north is connected to the grassland, except for the Qinluo River moat, there is no defense, the northern Hu people often go south to plunder.

Compared with the rich Dongliang, most of the Xiliang Prefectures are desert next door, sparsely populated, but here leads to the Thirteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions, is the golden ancient road, but since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the economic center of gravity of the Tianlong Dynasty moved eastward, and the sea trade gradually replaced the ancient golden ancient road, making it more and more desolate here.

The fifth prince Situ Feng, as the prince of Liang, occupied most of Liangzhou, and took advantage of the turmoil in Youzhou, but also took the opportunity to seize the part of Youzhou on the west bank of the Qinluo River, and at the same time, taking advantage of the Tang army in Zhongzhou to go north, Situ Feng was not idle, and sent 30,000 soldiers out of Daye City and stepped into the land of Zhongzhou again.

Liangzhou has many iron horses, this is true, Liangzhou animal husbandry is developed, and it borders the Beihu grassland, resulting in the fierce folk customs here, and even many people have Hu blood, since childhood can ride and shoot, but unfortunately the population base here is too small, plus there are not many resources, so although the Liangzhou army is strong, but it is the worst in Kyushu to pick up weapons.

"General, there is Xiaoye City in front, it is a good place, all around is fertile land, not to mention, it is still a thoroughfare of land transportation, take here, the brothers can change into a good armor, everyone has gold and silver in their pockets, and the food is even more countless, but there is an elite Tang Army Zhichong Mansion stationed in Xiaoye City, and there are tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers, which can be described as strong soldiers and horses, and our 30,000 iron cavalry may not be able to gnaw it!"

Lu Bu sneered and said, "There is no city in this world that I can't break, just a small night city, see how Ben will break it!"
