When Xiang Xing and the others were walking home, the palace of the Jin Dynasty was very lively.

During the three days, countless priestly ceremonies were held in the palace to pay tribute to the emperor and inherit his ambition.

In the palace, Bai Ling was hung everywhere. The eunuchs, palace maids, and guards were all dressed in white, performing their duties, in a hurry and without chaos.

In a hidden place, several little eunuchs were holding incense and candles, kneeling in the direction of the temple.

Suddenly, behind them, a flash of light flashed. Out of thin air, an armored sergeant appeared with a black flag in his hand.

The little eunuchs were attracted by the light, and when they looked back, they were shocked.

"Black Flag Order?"

The sergeant said, "Where is the emperor?"

"Zong...... Jongmyo !"

"Prepare the horses!"

The eunuch brought a horse from a nearby stable. The sergeant got on his horse and headed straight for the temple.

Along the way, everyone in the palace avoided from afar, and no one dared to come out to stop them.

There are new and ignorant people, because they can't dodge, they are hit by the sergeant and fly away.

"Father-in-law, who is he, how dare he hurt people in the palace?"

"That's the border black flag commander. According to the rules set by the grandfather, the black flag allows soldiers to enter the court directly. It seems that there is something big at the border gate!"

When the palace guards saw the black flag order, they left their posts one after another, and stood on both sides of the road where the sergeants were galloping, clearing them of idle miscellaneous people.

"Woo......" The horn sounded in the palace.

In the temple, the Holy Sect Fu Xuanhuai and his queen were leading a group of people to kneel in front of the Taizu spiritual seat.

The sudden sound of the horn alarmed everyone, and before they could react, the gate of the temple was slammed open by the sergeant.

He rode directly to the Holy Sect, jumped off the horse, did not bow down, and felt the bright yellow music from his arms.

"Border Emergency. Three days ago, the king of the barbarians died violently. The eldest prince led 30,000 elite soldiers last night and entered Lintong Pass at night. There is no plan to burn and loot. ”

"What? Why did you report such a big deal now?" said the Holy Sect angrily.

The king of the barbarians can be said to be the old rival of the human race, and for countless years, he has fought in various dynasties of the human race, making the frontier chickens and dogs restless.

Now, he is actually dead? How could the barbarian prince run to Lintong Pass? Shouldn't he pay tribute to his father in the barbarian royal court?

The sergeant said: "Three days ago, after General Si learned of the death of the barbarian king, he wrote a recital to send to Chengjing as soon as possible. There was also a recital last night, but ...... General Si did not wait for the holy decree for a long time, so he sent the black flag order to come. ”

The Holy Sect said to an old man beside him, "Go find it!"

"Yes!" the father-in-law did not dare to delay, and trotted down.

It was such a coincidence, when the high-level of the Jin Dynasty was busy with the affairs of Taizu, the barbarians happened to have an incident. No one noticed the Frontier report.

The Holy Sect said again: "How is Lintong Pass now?"

"General Jiang of Dengfeng Mansion has led 50,000 troops to aid Lintong Pass!"

"Dengfeng Mansion guards Jiang Song!"

"The minister is here!" came out of the crowd a weak scholarly official.

"You go back to Dengfeng quickly. ”

"Honorable. ”

Jiang Song took off his white clothes and ran towards the teleportation array.

The Holy Sect took the recital and said to the sergeant, "Go back and tell your general." Lintong Pass cannot be lost. I'll send someone again. ”

"Order!" the sergeant also left in a hurry.

Looking for the old eunuch to get two copies. The Holy Sect had carefully read all three copies. and then order it to be circulated.

"Do you have a way to deal with it?" the Holy Sect asked.

Xiao Jin's father, the generalissimo of the Jin Dynasty, made an exception: "Your Majesty, you should mobilize military horses and strengthen the garrison of each pass to prevent barbarians." ”

"What Marshal Xiao said is reasonable. All states and provinces, strengthen their defenses. Especially in Beiling, Dengfeng and other places close to the barbarians. ”

Li Cunzhi, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Your Majesty, the town guards of Beiling and Ninghe Erzhu ......"

Two guards fornicated with the barbarians, one died, the other was imprisoned, and the officials were having a headache.

"Ministry of Punishment. Has it ever been clear?" the Holy Father asked.

The Criminal Department Shangshu said: "Back to Your Majesty, the trial is clear, and the evidence is conclusive." I hope that Your Majesty will make a judgment. ”

The Holy Sect thought for a moment and said, "Don't convict you first, let's talk about it later." Officials, can someone be selected to replace them?"

"Time is in a hurry, and there is no suitable candidate for the time being. ”

"So...... I'll take your pick. ”

In the Jin Dynasty, if there was a vacancy in an official, it was supposed to be nominated by the ministry and then signed by the emperor. It is very rare for the emperor to directly choose people, not to mention, what is lacking now is the two prefectures guards.

The Holy Sect swept everyone present and said, "Zhao Shiming!"

"The minister is here!" a young and heroic young official made an exception and knelt in front of the Holy Sect.

"I have appointed you as the governor of Beining, and temporarily lead the military administration of Beiling and Ninghe. After the Ministry of Officials has a suitable candidate, another arrangement will be made. ”

"Your Honor. ”

"I see that you are also tired, so sit down!" After speaking, the Holy Sect took the lead and sat on the floor of the temple.

The others knelt for three days and three nights, and when they saw that the Holy Sect had sat down, they put aside their salutes and sat down with them.

After everyone sat down, it was convenient for the Holy Sect to discuss the specific matters of deploying troops together.

The queen stood beside the Holy Sect, pursed her lips and smiled, and said to the two precious daughters beside her, "Follow me!"

The eldest princess Fu Qingyun and the second princess Fu Yaxuan instantly understood what the queen mother meant, and left with a smile.

"Yaxuan, how is the life of Yuhua Sect?" the eldest princess didn't ask her sister as she walked.

"It's okay, it's just a little busy. Master wants to rectify the Yuhua Sect, and there are countless things big and small. ”

The queen took the hands of her two daughters and said, "It's rare to come back, let's live longer!"

"My sister is very idle in Taixumen. I'm miserable, running around all day. No, after the matter of the emperor's grandfather is over, I have to rush back on behalf of my junior sisters. ”

The eldest princess said, "It was Murong Qi who was talking to the imperial grandfather that night?"

"Yes, in Beiling before, my little sister saw her once. Du Qishan was killed by her, and the old ladies of the Duma family were also arrested by her. ”

The queen asked in disbelief, "Is it so powerful?" ”

"I heard that Xiao Jin became her student. He should know a little more. When they're done, go ask about it. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother. The two daughters said at the same time.

In the second half of the night, the ministers finally finalized the various details of the deployment of troops.

The Holy Sect stretched his waist and said, "Then next, let's discuss how to deal with the brutal death of the barbarian king." ”

"It's time to eat!" The queen led a large group of palace maids back to the temple, "Everyone is hungry, don't eat and discuss!"

"Thank you, Queen. ”

The Holy Sect took the queen's hand and let her be by his side, and said to the two daughters, "You can sit down too!"

"Yes, Father!"

While eating, the Holy Sect said, "I want to send an envoy to the barbarians. ”

"What the Holy One said is true. In recent years, the barbarians have made good friends with our dynasty, and they should also send people to mourn out of courtesy. ”

"Also, take the opportunity of condolences to find out the movements of the barbarians. ”

King Jing stood up without hesitation: "Father, I'll go." ”

"You are not allowed to go!" said the Emperor and Empress at the same time.

King Jing was the only son of the Holy Sect, and he ran to the barbarians, didn't he call the Holy Sect the empress? At that time, without the barbarians fighting, the Jin Dynasty would be in great chaos.

Besides, with King Jing's behavior, even if he goes, he will make a big deal.

"Father, mother, I'll go. The second princess Fu Yaxuan said, "I am a princess and a disciple of the Yuhua Sect, and the barbarian people will not treat me like this." ”

There is another point that the second princess did not say explicitly. Many years ago, the barbarian king apologized for Yuhua's real favor. What exactly was going on, Yuhua Zhenren didn't tell her. But with this favor, the barbarians will not be too embarrassed by the disciples of the Yuhua Sect.

The Holy Sect and the ministers discussed for a long time, and they felt that the second princess was the most suitable candidate.

The Holy Sect said to Princess Yaxuan, "You should be careful when you go and send more people to you." ”

"Father, no need. I took my sisters with me. They are women, and their strength is also very good. ”

"Well, take a rest tomorrow and set off the day after tomorrow. ”

"Yes!"

The Holy Father said again: "There is one more thing. I want to build a new army. ”

All the ministers felt that it was okay to build another army, but the current situation was unclear. Not only the barbarians, but also the major sects are not fuel-efficient lamps, if the Jin Dynasty is too weak, it will definitely be eaten by others and there will be no scum left.

Then the queen's hand asked, "How much money do we have?"

The queen smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty wants to raise an army at your own expense?"

"Well, we don't touch the money of the household. Or take the money from your little coffer, the Queen. ”

"Okay!"

The happiest in the dialogue between the Holy Sect and the Empress was, of course, the officials of the household department. These iron roosters, as long as you don't take money from them, everything is easy to say.

And this decision of the Holy Sect made some people worried. The Holy Sect bypassed the household department and raised an army at his own expense. Doesn't this mean that this army is the private army of the Holy Sect? Although he is the emperor and the whole world is his, it is ...... An unsupervised army is always unsettling.

"Xiao Jin, Qingyun. ”

"The minister (child) is here!"

"You two are in charge of recruiting the new army. I have only one request. The person recruited must be young and handsome. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone was helpless again. The money does not come from the household department, and the people are not sent by the military department, which ...... It's completely private. They couldn't help but look at Old Marshal Xiao. I saw that he had a look that was none of my business.

Marshal Xiao was the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses in the Jin Dynasty, and all the troops were under his control. Did the Holy Sect do this because he wanted to divide a part of his military power? No, Xiao Jin, the son of the old marshal, was in charge of recruiting people? How could this be solved? Could it be that the Holy Sect suddenly wanted to have a private army to play with him on a whim?
