The news of the Northern Mangxiong Division's Chen Bing in the north quickly spread throughout Tai'an City, and then spread to every corner of the Central Plains of Liyang, and under such a general trend, the restoration rebellion of the remnants of Western Chu and Guangling Dao did not seem so noticeable.

The Liyang Dynasty did not show any panic about the whole country going south this time.

But for His Majesty the Emperor who has been sick in the palace for a long time and has not been able to meet in the court, many central ministers are expressing hints in the recital, fortunately, Lu Ze, the prince of the prison country, is still in full bloom in dealing with a lot of music, at this time Lu Ze knows why the emperor Lao Tzu is only half a hundred years old, and it looks a little old.

The emperor is a very special profession, and it is far more tiring than people think.

Especially in the Liyang Dynasty won the Spring and Autumn War, slaughtered the Central Plains Eight Kingdoms in one fell swoop and established the status of Liyang unification, the first emperor died suddenly, Zhao Chun sat on the throne that all the kings dreamed of in the extremely turbulent and bloody struggle for the throne, from the moment he ascended the throne, Zhao Chun tightened his bowstring.

Just as Qi Yanglong's evaluation of this human emperor: How can a bow that has been tightened for decades not be broken?

In Liyang Imperial City, next to the hundred-year-old plane tree in the sixth courtyard of the harem, there was a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face sitting on a stone chair next to the tree, and Zhao Zhi, the queen of the world, was full of sadness in her eyes.

Even if the weather is about to pass now, the warmth and warmth of spring have been revealed in this huge Liyang Palace, and the eunuchs and palace maids on duty are all looking forward to the arrival of spring, but Zhao Zhi's heart feels extremely cold, she gently wrapped the velvet blanket that has been with her for many years, and stretched out her hand to caress it gently, as if she remembered many things when she was young.

"You want to take a final look at the great mountains and rivers of the Liyang Dynasty."

"Why don't I want to take a good look at you?"

The woman muttered to herself, and looked to the north, as if to catch a glimpse of His Majesty the Emperor, who had reached the border of the two Liaos, but was about to repent.

And the Jizhou Yanbao in the border Guanxiong Town, at this time, countless lanterns and torches were lit at the same time, shining so that the fortress was as bright as day, and the garrison soldiers did not know why the lights inside and outside the city were bright today, but the news from the Beimang Chen soldiers had been pressed in the hearts of these soldiers of the two Liao, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the land of the two Liao had raised their spirits and pointed to the north at the same time.

General Gu Jiantang has resigned and returned to Liangliao regardless of a month, but the military spirit here was quickly mobilized by this Shangzhu countryman, even if he has been a civil official in Tai'an City for more than ten years, but the iron blood and perseverance on the face of the middle-aged man have not become soft at all because of this, and General Gu has shown his full control over the border army of Liangliao, where the foundation is located.

The few horsemen drove slowly in the shadow of the wall.

The soldiers patrolling the city wanted to come forward to check, but when they saw General Gu's personal guards riding out of the queue, the soldiers' eyes were awe-inspiring but hot, obviously recognizing that they were generals, but they didn't know that General Gu was also a 'personal guard' today.

The man in the center of the horses looked very pale, looking like he could not bear the cold of the winter in the north, wearing a thick fox fur from the tribute of Liaodong, and his bearing was very restrained, the man slowly dismounted, walked on the smooth road paved with large bluestone slabs, looked up at the several fire dragons with lantern torches stretching up, and sighed softly: "This should be the first time I have come to Jizhou in the past ten years, right?" I should have come to the border earlier, and I stayed in the palace on weekdays to deal with government affairs, and it was difficult to pay as much attention to the border affairs of Rongma as the ancestors of the Zhao family, but fortunately, Kai'er was different from me. ”

Gu Jiantang was silent.

This general who led the horse to protect the emperor of Liyang deeply knew that the Tai'an Chengdong Palace was terrible, in addition to the keen mind and the city as deep as the sea, that terrifying strength made Gu Jiantang feel incredible, it is rumored that the West Chu Cao Changqing broke into the wedding banquet of the King of Shu in Jinguan City, and was defeated by the Shu King's Mansion by many means, and most of the people in the rivers and lakes felt that His Royal Highness the King of Shu at that time was suspected of 'picking up people's heads'.

Gu Jiantang deeply knew that Lu Ze was already in the Great Celestial Realm at this moment.

It's just a step away from that land fairyland.

It is not that there is no heir of the royal family in the world who has achieved the existence of a martial arts master, just as Su Mao, the sword emperor of Xishu who died outside the Xishu Palace, is a genius in the sword, but there has never been an emperor in the world who is also the leader of martial arts.

Several of the guards were behind, but General Gu was the only one who led the horse by the side of Emperor Zhao Chun.

His Majesty the Emperor did not forget to exercise his physique while being diligent in his work, and the ministers of the court all thought that the new Royal Highness the Crown Prince just happened to have the opportunity to supervise the country, if he really wanted to sit on the dragon chair, I am afraid that it would take more than ten or twenty years later, Gu Jiantang clearly felt that His Majesty the Emperor's physical condition was worrying these days, and he needed to take two breaths every time he walked.

"I'm old."

"Half a year ago, I laughed at Bei Liang's lameness, and now my body is not as good as before."

"It's a pity, I can't see me riding through the Beimang Royal Court from Yang Tie."

Emperor Zhao Chun secretly inspected the two Liao, and was accompanied by the general Gu Jiantang on his return.

The million Mang army has 600,000 troops Chen soldiers on the border of Liangzhou, the king of Liang Xu Long elephant riding a black tiger angrily rushed to the crown, leading the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry has begun to enter the first battle, and on the second day after the emperor Zhao Chun left Jizhou, there are 400,000 elite Beimang soldiers appeared on the border line of the two Liao, at the same time, the remnants of Western Chu in the territory of Liyang The restoration of the voice is getting louder and louder.

In only half a year, the Central Plains, which had been peaceful for many years, smelled the smell of war for a long time, which made the old people who had survived the bloody Spring and Autumn War deeply uneasy, especially the Guangling Road and Yanyi Road in the south of Liyang.

This year's New Year is not a good time for many people.

......

In Tai'an City, the sound of firecrackers is saying goodbye to the old year, but it lacks that festive atmosphere compared to the past.

The new year, the first early pilgrimage after the end of the year.

Emperor Zhao Chun, whose face was very tired, raised his eyes and looked at the unobstructed imperial road outside the Taihe Palace, since the founding of Liyang and the founding of the People's Republic of China, I don't know how many civil and military generals, princes and nobles have walked on this road, these people are loyal and treacherous, good and evil, there are upright temperaments and dare to express their hearts in front of the emperor The imperial history of the official, there are traitors who seem to be loyal, do not distinguish between right and wrong, and only seek benefits for themselves, there are talented and merry people, and there are also old tears who have stepped into the Jinluan Palace for many years in the imperial examination.

Song Tanglu, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, noticed that His Majesty the Emperor was distracted in the early New Year's Dynasty, so he did not shout the sentence 'There is nothing to do to retreat from the court', at this time the Taihe Hall was quiet, and His Majesty the Emperor who was distracted came to his senses, and his eyes finally locked on the body of the prince of the East Palace, and saw Lu Ze, who was standing at the head of the Wenchen military generals, with a warm expression.

At the court meeting in the last years of Yonghui, there were no two unruly and untamable obstructive vassal kings Xu Xiao and Zhao Bing in the temple.

Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, died of old age.

Zhao Bing, the king of Yan, was in that Yan Dao, sitting south and north with that Nalan Youci, silently staring at the majestic imperial capital that was out of sight but had arrived.

"Something to start, nothing to retreat."

Song Tanglu's sharp voice resounded above the main hall, which meant that the first court meeting after the New Year had finally begun.

Shoufu Zhang Julu walked out slowly, this Shoufu Lord who wanted to die but did not die seemed to 'admit his fate', and within half a year, the northern border ushered in an unprecedented invasion of the Beimang army, this time Beimang was actually the strength of the whole country, the first few long-term attacks seemed to make the empress really make up her mind, and did not go to the death of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry as before, and the two Liaos in the northeast border town of Liyang are also full of wolf smoke.

At this court meeting, General Gu Jiantang specially rushed back from the border.

Gu Jiantang, who resigned from the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War, finally showed the grandeur of the famous generals of the Spring and Autumn Period in the two Liao military towns, and the Liyang Dynasty has seen the effect of countless wasteful investment in the border of the two Liaos over the years, and the six months of Jizhou and Songzhou have won great victories one after another, especially the Hulukou battle before March, General Gu personally cut off the head of the pioneer general of the Northern Mang's Southern Expedition, and buried the 70,000 people of the Beimang Left Wing Army in Hulukou.

When the news reached Tai'an City, Zhao Chun, the emperor in the Heart Cultivation Palace, laughed out loud and praised: "General Gu is the backbone of my departure from the sun. ”

No one knows why Gu Jiantang, the general who returned to the two Liaos, behaved so devotedly, and Lu Ze at the court meeting did not hesitate to show a kind smile to the military general Dazhuguo, and Gu Jiantang bowed slightly.

Lord Shoufu, who came out of the ranks, spoke slowly, and what he said was the salary of the border army.

This matter belongs to the extremely sensitive topic in the court, even if it is the constant temperature of the province and Wen Taiyi, Hong Lingjun and the old foxes dare not mention this matter, now the Beiliang side is also in full swing, and compared to the border between the two Liao, it is even more tragic, the Beiliang cavalry after losing people to slaughter Xu Xiao is still brave under the leadership of the new Liang King, but the heart is very different from the old man Tu Zai.

Beimang is menacing this time, although the Liyang Dynasty of the unified Central Plains Continent has come to an unprecedented level of strength, but the silver in the treasury is not inexhaustible after all, especially the various expenses on the border are like adult gluttony, and there are countless silvers when you open your mouth and close your mouth.

In the past, the Liyang Dynasty had a lot of complaints about the huge expenses of the two Liaos.

But now General Gu Da used the giant Jingguan piled up with countless heads in Beimang to make people completely shut their mouths, according to statistics, since the battle between Beimang and Liyang, the Mang army that was killed and wounded on the border between the two Liao has been small 200,000.

On the issue of military salaries, the real trouble is still in Beiliang.

The first is the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor, and the second is the crucial luck, this fat errand is firmly grasped by the old nobles of Liyang, and it is the norm to fill their own pockets, even Emperor Zhao Chun turns a blind eye to these people, because most of this group of people... All have the surname Zhao.

Wu'an Hou Zhao Yu, Chen Xingjun Wang Zhao Kuangyi, Xu Guogong Zhao Yi...

As soon as Lord Shoufu's words fell, the Liyang Dynasty Hall, which originally had some voices, became quiet again, and at this time, under the surprised eyes of the people, Gu Jiantang of the Great Pillar Kingdom followed Shoufu Zhang Julu out of the ranks, and said in a deep voice: "Jizhou and Liangzhou are both from the Yang Wangtu, and what Lord Shoufu said is reasonable, and they should be treated equally." ”

No one thought that General Gu, who had the most connection with the dead Xu Cripple, would stand up and speak for Bei Liang at this time, and the court minister looked silently at the head of the civil ministers and the head of the military generals, only to hear the emperor Zhao Chun on the dragon chair whispered: "Accurate." ”

"Ordered... The crown prince oversees the affairs of Cao Yun. ”

"There must be no mistake."

In fact, people knew early on that the atmosphere of the court had changed direction.

Since the incident of the slaughter of the people has passed, His Majesty the Emperor's attitude towards Beiliang has become ambiguous, and during the period of the new prince's imprisonment, several wills of Beiliang also make people feel the attitude of the new monarch of Liyang, after the old lady of Western Chu, Sun Xiji, disappeared in the court, the so-called old party naturally collapsed, and the so-called way to scold Beiliang for promotion and fortune disappeared.

His Majesty's order for the crown prince to take charge of the government this time is obviously not a simple sprinkling of water, but a real thing.

The court ministers all know the origin of His Royal Highness the Prince, this His Royal Highness who has not been in Tai'an City for a few years, and the relationship between those relatives surnamed Zhao is not close, the most important four words for the court officials are 'Jane in the emperor's heart', the prince has been in charge of the East Palace for a year, and the court has naturally gradually understood Lu Ze's thoughts.

What His Highness needs is someone who can do things.

Tantan Weng Huan Wen smiled at Lu Ze, and it could be seen that the second-in-command of the province was sincerely happy at the moment, and many old foxes in the court couldn't help but mourn silently for those Zhao family relatives, this His Royal Highness is the future king of the sky in Liyang, and he will definitely be able to do it, people silently wonder if this will be His Majesty's special desire to rebuild the momentum for the prince, and now Lu Ze is gentle and elegant in the East Palace, and many people seem to have forgotten how he stepped into the main East Palace.

"The way of the world is going to change."

......

In the palace, there was a couple walking hand in hand in the silent palace, walking in front of a majestic hall, the radiant man turned around to help his wife tighten the knot on the chest of the fox Qiu, he sighed: "I was very envious of the friendship between the first emperor and Xu Xiao who had no scruples about drinking and talking, so I often thought about letting the white-clothed soldier enter the court as an official, and I could also give a young military general the greatest authority as the first emperor, and the monarch and the minister joined hands to establish an unprecedented side skill." ”

Zhao Chun smiled again.

It's a pity that Chen Zhibao, who was originally the candidate for the king of Shu in his plan, died indirectly at the hands of Lu Ze in the end.

Zhao Chun then leaned sideways and gently held his wife's hands, lowered his head to help her breathe a sigh of heat: "I know that in the matter of Lichu, I have failed the agreement between our husband and wife, and it is my fault." ”

Empress Zhao Zhi shook her head with red eyes.

She never blamed him.

It was not the emperor and queen but the husband and wife, and they said a lot of love words that night.

Until the middle-aged man finally collapsed in her arms.

.......

The breath of the New Year has not dissipated, and the great bad news has swept away Liyang, and the whole country is vegetarian.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ze justifiably put on the unique clothes of the dynasty and ruled the world.

Country name... Apocalypse!

Later, the horseshoe of Liyang stepped all over the world, and the name of the people of the world for the Tai'an City, the capital of the Liyang Emperor, gradually changed.

Apocalypse City.
