"Your Majesty! Be kind to the minister's family! ”

The headless general in tattered armor, the head he held in his hand was talking one by one, and bright red blood was still gushing out of his mouth, like well water dug out of the ground, as if it would never flow.

"Your Majesty! I have done my best for you! ”

The general who was pierced by ten thousand arrows had his armor torn apart, but he always stood and did not fall.

"Your Majesty, open your eyes and look at us, it hurts."

The corpse of a soldier, covered in burns, was as if he had stepped out of the magma of the Infernal Hell, and his face was so hideous that anyone could feel the immense pain they had experienced before they died.

"Your Majesty, do you remember us?

Do you remember us!

Do you remember us! ”

Countless voices, like thunder roaring, like divine sound descending from the sky, sounded in the ears, lingered in the brain, and then completely engraved in the brain, all the time, like a bell and a drum, hammering heavily.

"I remember!"

In the dormitory, the emperor woke up from his deep sleep, sat up suddenly, gasping for breath, his face was extremely pale, and his entire body was completely soaked with cold sweat.

The slender and feminine beauty was awakened by the emperor, then hugged the emperor and softly comforted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." ”

"I'm incompetent!

I'm incompetent! ”

The emperor hugged the beauty and cried bitterly.

……

The cold wind blew through Chang'an, and the white snowflakes fell in the city, and soon covered every corner, and the plain white snowflakes fell in the city, but they could not cover the vegetarian all over the city of Chang'an.

The biting cold makes people's hearts chill, and the depressing atmosphere is shrouded in Chang'an, Guanzhong and even the world, faintly, countless weeping voices came.

Whether it is those prominent Hou mansions or ordinary people, this is the case, and no one can count how many families have hung up on Susu.

This is only Chang'an, and if you look at Guanzhong, it can be said that every household has a vegetarian condition.

Changle Palace.

In the emperor's dormitory, countless auspicious clouds are depicted, spirit beasts are everywhere on the pillars, the phoenix takes off, the unicorn offers blessings, and the spirit turtle offers pearls, showing the auspicious scene.

But the palace ladies and eunuchs waiting in the palace all hung their heads, and their footsteps fell silently, and no one dared to make a sound, only the burning oil lamp, and the crackling sound from time to time, stretched the figures back and forth for a long time, and they were erratic.

Liu Jin, the son of heaven, was lying quietly on the bed, the curtain hung down, no one could see his face clearly, only a slender figure could be seen, sitting cross-legged on the couch, Liu Jin was lying on her lap, and a few inaudible soft words made Liu Jin's trembling figure gradually calm down.

A dense but extremely light footsteps came, and the eunuch tried his best to suppress his shrill voice and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from Zhaocheng that Zhao Gong is bedridden and cannot come to Chang'an. ”

Liu Jin, the Son of Heaven, who had just calmed down, trembled again, and kept saying: "Uncle left me, I lost the battle, my cousin left me, I lost the battle again, and now Zhaogong is going to die."

Isn't it the cause of the calamity that I am left with the assistance of my virtuous courtiers, and that only meow is left as a mediocre monarch?

Isn't this the fact that God does not favor the great man?

How do I do that?

Queen, what do you think I should do? ”

The empress could only hug the emperor tightly, but did not know what to say to comfort the emperor of the empire.

Now fifteen years have passed since the death of Emperor Gaozong Xiaowu.

But the situation in the country is not as courageous as Liu Che expected.

In the first five years of Liu Jin's succession, Wei Qing began to restore the country's treasury reserves in accordance with Liu Che's established national strategy, which could be used to deal with possible rebellions and natural disasters.

In the fifth year, Wei Qing died of a recurrence of an old injury, and the imperial court experienced a short period of painful adjustment, and the news spread to the southwest, and those barbarian natives who had rebelled from time to time rebelled again.

Emperor Liu Jin, who had completely grasped the power, began to transfer troops to the southwest according to the previous preparations, and was determined to learn from his father and lead the entire war against the southwest.

Liu Jin can't be said to be an incompetent emperor, but he is really not good at martial arts.

Governing the country is still so-so, and he is reluctant to follow the rules, but when he fights, he is in a hurry, defeating once he fights, and he keeps fighting without self-knowledge, and keeps giving people heads, and keeps saying, "I want to be a holy king like the first emperor, and let Siyi be subdued." ”

So under the command of Liu Jin's micro-operation, the imperial court's war against Southwest Yi suffered a huge defeat.

In the endless no-man's land of 100,000 mountains, in countless mountains and forests, the Han army from the Central Plains encountered a hellish scene, an unknown epidemic, and the elusive Yi people, everything was so different from the Central Plains and the grasslands, even the most exquisite armor became a burden, and more than 200,000 people died among the uninhabited mountains and forests.

More than twenty princes and princes died on the battlefield in the southwest.

Although such a heavy loss was sad, it did not make the Han afraid, whether it was the Hou Mansion who died in the liehou, or the good family who died in battle, everyone held back their strength to kill back.

But the emperor withered directly, and he had nightmares all day long, and he didn't dare to raise troops to fight again, and the prime minister, who was partial to civil rule, also did not agree to fight again, because the court had no money, and the loss of people's power was also very large.

"Your Majesty, Duke Zhao still has a letter to deliver."

The emperor suddenly woke up and said, "Hurry up and deliver the letter." ”

In Zhaocheng, Luo Wujian was bedridden, and the general who was invincible on the battlefield back then came to the point where he couldn't even get out of bed.

The most difficult thing for him to accept was that he didn't get sick!

No matter how the doctor checked, there was no problem with his body, and then he remembered his brother Huo Quai, and the same was true of the young man who was proud at the beginning, even the medicine charm could not be cured, because the medicine charm could only cure the disease, and he and Huo Quzhi were facing fate.

What can be cured is disease, but what cannot be cured is life!

Luo Wujian thought back to the letter he sent to Chang'an, and sighed slightly.

"Son of Heaven, the minister has no illness.

The first emperor obtained the mandate of heaven, so he created a feat comparable to that of the holy king, is this something that every son of heaven can obtain?

Because of the trust of the first emperor, the minister got the marquis of 8,000 households, and he was grateful for the kindness of the first emperor, so he wanted to repay you.

It's just that people have a limited lifespan, and they are going to go ahead of you.

Before he died, he had some words of persuasion for you.

The position of the Son of Heaven is given by God.

But the power of the Son of Heaven was obtained by the Son of Heaven himself.

Those who are good at hunting, don't go fishing, those who are good at farming, don't go to grazing, those who are good at civil governance, don't pursue martial arts, this is the principle of doing things.

Is there anything that has no merit in life in the world?

Is there anything that can't be done in the world?

Presumably not.

Follow your merits and use them, is there anything that can't be successful?

Emperor Xiaowen did not fight with the Xiongnu, so he created the rule of Xiaowen, and the first emperor fought with the Xiongnu, so he created a martial art comparable to the Holy King, which is the road to becoming a Holy King.

It is commendable that you emulated Emperor Xiaowen to govern the country, and it is not worth mentioning that you followed Emperor Xiaowu's conquest.

With the defeat of the Southern Kingdom, your prestige has been damaged, and if you continue to be damaged, it will touch your foundation, and will the position of the Son of Heaven still be stable?

I'm worried about you!

The minister is worried about the society of the Han Dynasty!

Therefore, establishing the prestige of the Son of Heaven is the most important thing for you now,

The southern army was defeated, and the ministers knew that you didn't want to fight anymore, but you shouldn't let the courtiers know, and you shouldn't let the courtiers think you are afraid.

It must not be like now, the people of the world say that you are afraid of the south like a tiger!

You are the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven can't cheer up, how can the indomitable spirit of Zhuxia be displayed?

But the minister also disagreed with the re-war, because the imperial treasury was empty, and if the war was fought again, the tax would be raised.

The minister had never heard of a long-term gamble that could be won.

You should let your people know that you dare to fight, and you should let them know that you do not want to burden the world, and by doing so, your prestige will not be affected. ”

When the emperor read it, he burst into tears.

The beginning of this volume, I hope you enjoy it.
