In the middle of June in the seventh year of the Alpha Season.

It was raining heavily in Luoyang City.

This rain will be the beginning of the rainy season.

Zhao Changqing stood on top of the Luoyang Imperial City, looking down on the grand scene in the city, holding a secret letter in his hand, quite a little stunned.

On that secret letter, what was recorded was the current war situation in the Chu State.

It was sent by Bai Qi, according to the letter, it will take some time to completely occupy the land of Chu, which is something that Zhao Changqing did not expect.

He originally thought that the territory of Chu State was already within reach, and these days, not only did he clean up all the volunteers of Chu State, but also eradicated all the garrisons of Chu State except for southern Xinjiang.

It can be said that except for the southern Xinjiang where Emperor Chu is currently located, there is no force of Chu in this world.

However, the place where the problem arose was precisely the southern frontier where the Chu Emperor was located.

They relied on the last natural danger of the Chu State and fought with the Wei army on the basis of reason, and in the short term, there was no way to unify the Chu State.

But at this time, the war situation in the Jin Kingdom deteriorated.

Zhuge Liang had already led 300,000 newly recruited soldiers and the 100,000 elites brought back by Zhao Changqing from the Chu State to the Jin State a month ago.

However, after the 400,000 troops were thrown into the battlefield of the Jin Kingdom, they could not even make a splash, so you can imagine how cruel the war situation of the Jin Kingdom should be.

Not only that, Zhuge Liang's army also suffered defeats one after another, which made Zhao Changqing suspicious.

Will this Zhuge Liang fight a war? The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms are so awesome, and he is one of the ten philosophers of the Martial Temple, how can he not even win a war?

Even if you win!

Now the whole country is looking forward to a victory.

Chen Qingzhi and Xiao Yuming are the same, it seems that after Zhuge Liang arrives in the Jin Kingdom, they will not fight, either on the way to lose their land, or on the way to retreat after suffering defeat and being beaten by the enemy.

Probably, the pressure on the Jin Kingdom was too great.

After all, in the face of the alliance of the four countries, in front of the little strength of the Jin State, it is really a behemoth.

Murong Hening came to the city, stood slightly behind him, and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, it's raining again, why don't you go back to the palace to rest?"

At this time, Zhao Changqing was worried, and he was really not in the mood to eat and enjoy food.

He asked He Ning to go down first, wanting to stay alone for a while.

But He Ning really felt sorry for him, and would rather suffer with him than see him suffer here alone.

In this way, the two stood here until late.

Late at night.

Zhao Changqing returned to the palace and fell into a deep sleep.

In his dreams, he dreamed of many old people.

They were all people who were killed by themselves, including the crown prince, the king of Qin, some members of the damned royal family, and their own father, Emperor Wei Renzong!

They are all scolding themselves, and they are all trying to demand their lives.

In their dreams, they all turned into ghosts one by one and killed themselves.

The panic in the dream made Zhao Changqing wake up suddenly, and he suddenly sat up, panting.

He Ning, who was sleeping next to him, was awakened, and hurriedly hugged his back tightly and comforted: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Zhao Changqing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "I had a nightmare, I dreamed that the crown prince and the king of Qin, they came to ask me for their lives, and my father, he said that I was plotting to usurp the throne, he said that I killed my brother and killed my relatives, and heaven did not tolerate it, and they all wanted to come and take my life." ”

I have to say that his mental pressure in the past few days is too great.

At the beginning, he thought that the Four-Nation Alliance was fearless, but that was because he thought that the two-person army under Chen Qingzhi and Xiao Yuming, in cooperation with the army brought by Zhuge Liang, would be able to resist the Four-Nation Alliance for a moment and a half, so as to gain time for Bai Qi to attack Chu, and when the time comes, the Four-Nation Alliance will be repelled at the place where the troops are united.

But who would have thought that in the end, it was actually Bai Qi's side that had a problem.

Even though he urged repeatedly, it seemed that there was no effect at all.

This is enough to show that the natural danger in the southern frontier of Chu is really too steep and difficult to capture.

But in this way, whether it is the Jin State or the Chu State, there will be pressure on both sides, and now that a month has passed, I don't see what role Zhuge Liang's counter-plot has played.

This kind of pressure makes Zhao Changqing often have nightmares.

He Ning's arms tightened, and she said: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, everything is over, even if they come back from the dead, the concubines believe in Your Majesty, you can still kill them again, you are the emperor of Wei, the only emperor, those lonely souls and wild ghosts, they dare not do anything to Your Majesty." ”

"Really?" asked Zhao Changqing.

He Ning nodded and said, "How could a concubine deceive Your Majesty about such a thing?"

In this way, Zhao Changqing's mind can be regarded as a little better.

However, after falling asleep again, after a while, Zhao Changqing was awakened by a nightmare again.

The dream was about the same as last time, but it felt even more terrifying than the last time.

This made Zhao Changqing couldn't help but sit on the bed and scolded loudly, "If you are dead, you will die, why do you still bother me? Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Three shouts of killing, which startled He Ning.

She had never seen such a majesty, so hideous and terrifying.

When the guards outside the hall heard the sound, they immediately rushed into the hall, warned the surroundings, and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

After Zhao Changqing finished taking a breath, he said to them: "I'm fine, go out!"

The guards retired.

Zhao Changqing looked at He Ning beside him again, stroked her face, and said, "Could it be that they really came to me?

He Ning snuggled in Zhao Changqing's arms and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it, you are the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, when the world is Mingjun, those who have died, will not have any impact on Your Majesty, they didn't dare in life, and they didn't dare even more after death." ”

Zhao Changqing disagreed, shook his head and said, "I saw with my own eyes that Emperor Wei Ling came with my nephew to ask me for his life, and that kind of situation is extremely real. He was questioning me why he killed his own flesh and blood, but it was not killed by me, it was killed by Zhuge Liang. No, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leave no trouble, it should be so, if he sits firmly on the throne, he will definitely not let me go, I am not wrong to kill, although the history books write me as a tyrant who disregards family affection, I also feel that it should be so, I have done nothing wrong!"

He Ning massaged the emperor's shoulders and neck, and said while pressing: "Your Majesty's actions are naturally right, and it is them who are wrong, if today, it is they who ascend the throne of Wei, and the people of Wei will inevitably have a hard time, so Your Majesty's choice at that time was correct, and all the people will be grateful to Your Majesty for this." ”

Zhao Changqing sighed, he was no longer sleepy, and wanted to go out for a walk.

Henin changed his clothes.

The two of them took some guards and took advantage of the light of night to walk together in the palace.
