The return trip for this year's spring hunt was originally scheduled for mid-April.

However, due to the rebellion of the Qingli army, the emperor's departure back to Jinling was delayed until the beginning of May, and only a few hundred of the 3,000 forbidden troops escorted when he came, and a few unfortunate clans and courtiers who accompanied the chariot died in the days when the hunting palace was besieged.

The rebellion set off by King Yu ended in failure.

Tens of thousands of Qingli troops, but the combat power is not satisfactory, in the face of the Jiu'an Mountain Hunting Palace guarded by three thousand forbidden troops, it took several days to fail to capture smoothly, until King Jing moved to rescue the troops to relieve the siege, the rebellion of Xiao Jinghuan, the king of honor, was declared a failure.

The defeated King Yu was imprisoned in a cage, and he looked at the afterglow of the sunset, as if he was smiling rather than laughing, as if crying rather than crying.

"Lu Ze, King of Wuwei."

"Hahahaha, you are really a prophecy, this king is really going to fall into the prison of Hanzihao."

Unlike Xia Jiang, who was absconding, King Yu had no intention of escaping at all when the defeat was decided.

Because he had no ability to flee at all, he couldn't even survive without the wealth and honor of the capital, and he couldn't even survive without the halo of the royal family.

If you don't become an emperor, you'd rather die.

At sunset, King Yu in the cage had the last conversation with Emperor Liang in this life.

There is no father's kindness and filial piety, and there is no anger.

Xiao Jinghuan told the story of his rebellion this time, first united with the queen to disperse and control the 7,000 forbidden troops left in the capital, and then forged the talisman, and contacted Xu Anmo of the Qingli Army to dispatch the army to 'quell the rebellion', but there was a back road in the besieged Jiu'an Mountain, and King Jing finally led the troops to Jiu'an Mountain through this trail.

Emperor Liang pounded the cage heavily, gritted his teeth angrily and said: "I am blind, Bai has been pampering you for so many years!" ”

King Yu chuckled and shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Father, it's not that you are blind, it's Princess Linglong who was blind." ”

Emperor Liang's face froze, and his face changed suddenly: "Xiao Jinghuan, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

King Yu suddenly laughed, and his laughter sounded very funny, but turned into wild laughter: "Father, you are very puzzled how I could know the truth back then, right?" But the truth is always the truth, and sooner or later it will shatter all the illusory warmth, and let people see the cold and despicable face behind it, which has been distorted by selfish desires. ”

"You're that kind of person, and so am I."

"Because, I am the prince who is most similar to you, father, hahahaha."

It took a long time for the laughter to stop.

Xiao Jinghuan's face returned to normal: "Father, you shouldn't have reused Lu Ze, and you shouldn't have chosen Xiao Jingyan." ”

In the end, Emperor Liang left in a stiff shape.

During the life of Emperor Xiao Xuan of Liang, he experienced two rebellions of this scale.

The first time he was the attacker, but this time he was the one who was attacked.

He was the winner of both times.

The first time he helped him win the throne, the second time he couldn't even tell what he had won.

The old emperor turned around under Gao Zhan's support, and looked at the cage where his own son was imprisoned with trembling eyes, the "King Qi Rebellion Case" that set off a monstrous wave thirteen years ago and ended with the blood of tens of thousands of people, now that I think about it carefully, in fact, there is no real sword shadow flashing the eyelashes of the Son of Heaven from beginning to end.

"I'm old."

On the second day of Emperor Liang's return to Luan, His Royal Highness King Yu became the second child of the Liang royal family in this dynasty to live in a Hanzi cell.

For some reason, Empress Yan was not listed as a rebel party, but she sat back in Kyoto and watched King Yu take any action, and even issued an edict to suppress the forbidden army, and the abolition of the queen's position was a sure thing.

Marquis Yan asked to cut off the title and honor of the Yan family as a sign of atonement.

Emperor Liang did not allow it.

The blood that flowed through the streets of Kyoto was much lighter than one might expect.

The old case that was deliberately forgotten by people was turned over from the depths of memory by many old ministers after thirteen years of dust, His Majesty was so ruthless when he dealt with it, but this time the hand to deal with King Yu's rebellion was too gentle.

After Mei Changsu returned to Beijing, he went to the prison to visit King Yu.

The same cold number of prisons, but the people imprisoned in it are completely different.

Xiao Jinghuan was wrapped in iron ropes, curled up on the somewhat cold stone floor, his eyes were dark, and his face no longer had the brilliance and decency of Prince Qizhu, and he laughed at himself: "Qilin talent, can you win the world?" If this king hadn't mistrusted you, why would he have fallen into such a difficult situation today, Mei Changsu, you, Jiangzuo Meilang, are really a good means. ”

Mei Changsu looked coldly at King Yu who was separated by the iron fence: "You have today, it's completely your own fault." ”

King Yu's complexion did not change, because the will of death had already enveloped his body and mind.

He said in a hoarse voice: "Now Xiao Jingyan has faintly held the position of the East Palace in his hands, but the world... It doesn't have to be his. ”

"Didn't Mr. Su forget Lu Ze, the king of Wuwei in the west?"

Seeing that Mei Changsu didn't speak, King Yu laughed, and his laughter was finally full of heartiness.

Of course, he hated the king with a different surname who didn't put himself in his eyes, but compared to Mei Changsu, who had calculated many times by the conspiracy in front of him, King Yu would rather see that Lu Ze could occupy the world, and it was best to overthrow all the surnames of Liang Xiao.

In the past half a month, the situation in Jinling City has changed greatly, and the matter of King Yu's rebellion is an unavoidable topic.

The war in the west did not reach Jinling until a few days later.

The whole city is shocked!

King Jing was directly called by Emperor Liang to the palace to discuss countermeasures, and after leaving the palace, Xiao Jingyan came to the Su Mansion in a hurry.

"Mr. Sue."

"Do you know that the army of the Western Frontier has already arrived at the city of the Great Yu Palace?"

In the past few days when Mei Changsu passed through the Hunting Palace, his physical condition became even more unbearable, so that he had to hurry up to Jinling with the young pavilion master of Langya Pavilion, Mei Changsu nodded silently, this matter was also beyond his expectations: "I only found out yesterday." ”

It has been less than a year since he was crowned king.

Lu Ze's mastery of the land of the Seven Prefectures in the Western Territory has reached a jaw-dropping level.

King Wuwei not only pulled out all the people of the Slippery Clan who were hiding in the western border, but also pulled out all the eyeliner and foreshadowing of all the forces in the western border, Jiang Zuomeng and Langya Pavilion under Mei Changsu all lost their eyes in the western border, and the Mei sect master who had no intelligence advantage was just a thoughtful strategist.

Xiao Jingyan sighed lightly: "Just now in the Heart Cultivation Palace, my father was furious. ”

"It is still a period of national mourning, and the Western Frontier Army has launched such a large-scale war against Dayu, and it can no longer use defensive counterattacks as an excuse."

Although the vassal king had the right to govern his territory and command the army, if he set off a foreign war of this scale, without the permission of the imperial court, it would be a complete violation of the law of the Liang ritual system.

Didn't King Wuwei claim to be the most law-abiding person in Jinling City before?

Emperor Liang was just broken by his good son Xiao Jinghuan.

Now, even King Wuwei, who he is most optimistic about, is suspected of disobeying the lord, and Emperor Liang can not be angry.

"The combat strength of the Western Frontier Army is in the middle of the rules, even if King Wuwei governs the army well, the military money needed to set off such a big war is probably an incalculable amount, how can the taxes of the seven states in the Western Territory alone be able to sustain it?"

Xiao Jingyan was shocked that the Western Frontier Army had already hit the city of Dayu Wangting at this moment.

But as he dealt with more and more government affairs, the most surprising thing was the many things hidden behind Lu Ze's march.

Mei Changsu's mind turned quickly, and he vaguely guessed that Lu Ze's confidence might come from those novel objects that appeared in the last half a year, but even Mei Changsu had the limitations of the times, and he couldn't understand that the speed of accumulating capital and wealth could be so fast, and only half a year was enough to completely transform the barren West.

Mei Changsu couldn't help but sigh when he thought about what King Yu had said to him in prison before.

"That Mrs. Liu went to the western realm in the lunar month last year, and now I am afraid that the one in the capital mansion of Wuwei is just a stand-in."

King Jing looked horrified: "How can this be..."

If it was just a rash war against Dayu, then Xiao Jingyan would still think about the problem from Lu Ze's point of view, but when he heard that Lu Ze and even Liu Qiushuang were directly sent to the west, King Jing, as a prince, couldn't help but think about it.

Mei Changsu said apologetically: "I helped out of the city." ”

Mei Changsu was reluctant to confront Lu Ze at that time, and thanks to the latter's reminder of Wei Zheng's being targeted by the Hanging Mirror Division, he agreed to help, in fact, even if he didn't help, Lu Ze would definitely have a way to get Liu Qiushuang to the west.

King Jing's brows furrowed: "King Wuwei... What exactly do you want to do? ”

.......

The army of the western frontier went all the way north, and it was like a bamboo, and it was mighty.

It is unimaginable that the soldiers and civilians of Dayu can destroy the defense line of the southern border of Dayu in such a short period of time.

In particular, the imperial army that Dayu was proud of was as fragile as paper, and more than half of the 180,000 reconstituted army had fallen into the hands of Lu Ze, and more than tens of thousands of troops had fallen into the hands of the Western Frontier Army.

There were so many people who surrendered.

For Dayu, who established the country by force, this is the most unbelievable thing.

There are many dead people who are not afraid.

But after the battle, surrendering so many people was too demoralizing.

directly gave the Dayu soldiers who had not yet participated in the war a very bad demonstration precedent.

Everyone is thinking, if you can't beat it, you can vote.

That's a ball!

The banner of King Wuwei's army has been planted in the Cangyun Mountain Range, which is only a hundred miles away from the royal court, and Lu Ze has used the Fenglin Volcano with the weight of soldiers to the extreme, and nearly one-third of the territory of Dayu has fallen into the hands of the Western Territory Army.

Now the soldiers are heading towards the Dayu Royal Court.

The atmosphere inside the royal court is extremely solemn, and now Dayu can't find the existence that can compete with King Wuwei, whether it is the older generation of famous generals, or the rising star of Dayu, he is not an opponent at all in the battlefield strategy, as if the Go novice who has just set the stage is facing Dacheng Alpha Dog when he first comes to the stage, and there is no way.

Originally, the internal atmosphere in Dayu was not so sluggish, and the successive defeats on the battlefield led to more chain reactions.

If Da Yu, who established the country by force, could not defeat the other party on the battlefield, and even 100,000 imperial troops could be defeated by 30,000 Western Territory troops, the atmosphere of mourning soldiers would soon be enveloped over the heads of those Da Yu soldiers who had not yet fought in battle.

The foreshadowing of the economic war that Lu Ze had prepared in the past six months really played a role at this time.

The people of Dayu were uncontrollably chaotic.

Those royal court magnates, carts and belongings were ready to flee north, which made the chaos even more chaotic.

When King Yu has no way back, he chooses to fight for his life and rebel.

But the soldiers of Dayu were different from King Yu.

These people joined the army for their own small family, and only a few people are really eager to make contributions, and they engrave the honor of Dayu in their hearts, but the glory of the past is only the past.

When defeated again and again, if you can't fight back to win a glimmer of life, you can only collapse.

In particular, the contrast between the upper echelons of the elite and the lower echelons of the people is too obvious.

Of course, there will be complaints in the Dayu army.

I'm fighting to the death in front, and I'm working together so that you people can move to your home with peace of mind, right?

Many problems are not a problem at all on weekdays, but in the case of successive battlefield defeats, the problems will be completely detonated.

......

The military tent of the Western Frontier Army was stationed at the southern foot of the Cangyun Mountains.

In addition to the guards stationed in various places, there are now 60,000 people in front of the court of Dayu, these people are silently watching the royal court on the other side of the mountain, and no one shows impatience in the face of the immortal achievements that are about to be established.

Because of the man in the center of the horde.

That is King Wuwei, that is the god of war in the west, and it is the existence that the Shenwu army lives to allegiance.

Several days of battlefield fighting and conquest made Lu Ze's facial features more distinct, no longer like a wealthy prince in Jinling City, when he was dressed in military uniform, he was very different from usual, as if there was a majesty and unspeakable domineering spirit accumulated in it, which made people feel awe.

"The court of Dayu is close at hand."

"Not many people can participate in this glorious battle, you... All lucky. ”

Within the big tent, more than a dozen generals in the army stood up and had honor.

Here are Li Yu, the commander of the Shenwu Army, Chen Qi, the vanguard general of the Western Army, and Lin Yuyin, the Marquis of Pingning...

Emperor Liang had appointed many generals to enter the Western Frontier Army before, but these people were all succumbed to Lu Ze's personality charm, and many of these people had outstanding performances in the Northern Expedition.

The sky is like ink, and it covers the earth.

Boundless dark clouds overhead, rain falling from the sky, fine and dense.

In the drizzle, there was a will from Jinling, crossing the mountains and lakes, crossing the border line between Daliang and Dayu, and finally came to the big tent of the Northern Expedition.

"Your Majesty has a decree to order King Wuwei to return to the west with his army."

Lu Ze ignored this will, and the generals also chose to ignore it.

will be outside, and the monarch's decree will not be affected.

The next day, the Western Frontier Army finally launched a surging offensive against the Dayu royal court, and the counterattack of the Dayu army was very fierce.

But the city was breached from within.

It was the city gate opened by the head of the Huangfu family of the Seven Great Chongqing families.

Huangfu Yuan is an old man with a white beard, as one of the helmsmen within Dayu, the head of the Huangfu family has experienced too many winds and waves, and no one could have imagined that the Huangfu family would choose to betray, because this country belongs to them.

Lu Ze took the lead, and the Western Frontier Army entered the court of the Great Chongqing Dynasty.

At the same time, it is also in the long river of history, and has drawn a strong stroke.

After entering the city, on both sides of the road, there are kneeling and bowing their heads.

"Welcome King Wuwei to the city!"
