Xianyang County.

Zhao Changqing climbed high and looked into the distance, holding a letter in his hand, and his heart was full of melancholy.

After several days of hard fighting, they had already taken Xianyang County, and after taking it, they did not continue to move forward.

Rather, it is necessary to wait for the progress of the rest of the armies to be brought forward.

Once you continue to advance, you will have to hit the gate of the Tang capital in one go.

At this time, Zhuge Liang came behind him, watched him hold a letter very hard in his hand, frowned, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, but what happened?"

After hearing this, Zhao Changqing sighed and said: "There is news from Luoyang, the two brothers who have been missing for a long time have finally surfaced, and they have united some remnants of the family, such as the Jiang family back then, to rebel in Chudi. ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's brows furrowed even tighter, "Your Majesty, the rebellion in Chudi, the people's will will inevitably fluctuate, in case the rebels become powerful, it will be a great event, otherwise, let Zilong or let the prince go back to Beijing, right?"

Zhao Changqing sat on a stone pier, handed the letter in his hand that had been held out of shape to Zhuge Liang, and said: "No need, the matter has been settled, and the imperial court has handled this crisis well and very properly, but it is a pity that the old general Ma Hong unfortunately passed away on the way back to Luoyang." ”

Zhuge Liang read the letter carefully, and sighed: "Your Majesty, the old general is dedicated to the country, and he should add some rewards to make the old general peaceful under the Nine Springs." ”

Zhao Changqing nodded, "I have already written a decree to confer General Ma in the Martial Spirit Hall first, and after I go back, I will make other arrangements, and I will posthumously crown General Ma as the Duke of Loyalty, which can be regarded as a reward for General Ma's loyalty to the country." ”

Zhuge Liang hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

At this time, another urgent document was delivered to Zhao Changqing.

He didn't hesitate, and after opening the paperwork, he read it.

Zhuge Liang was observing the change in his expression.

Until the end, he thought, nothing will happen again, right?

Before he could ask, he saw that the emperor seemed to have all kinds of melancholy in his heart, and muttered: "Sixth, I committed suicide." ”

Zhuge Liang was slightly stunned.

At this moment, as a courtier, he didn't know what to say.

After all, when it comes to the royal family, it is not good for me to express any opinions.

Zhao Changqing got up from the stone pier, sighed, looked at the rising sun in the distant sky, and muttered: "How do you know that I will definitely kill you?

seems to be saying to Zhao Changping.

Unfortunately, he will never hear it.

Zhao Changqing asked Zhuge Liang, "How do you think his body should be placed?"

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there are some things that Weichen shouldn't say clearly, but now, there are some words that Weichen doesn't vomit or feel unhappy." ”

Speaking of which, there is a deliberate pause.

Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "It's okay, just say it directly." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Your Majesty, after all, the Sixth Emperor is a rebellious minister, according to the ancestral system, it should not be buried with the imperial mausoleum, or according to the scale of the prince's burial, once this is done, the people of the world will feel that His Majesty has done something wrong, for some things in the past, we are not wrong, even if there is really a mistake, we can't admit it." ”

After saying these words, Zhuge Liang was already soaked with sweat.

Zhao Changqing glanced at him with a little meaning, and then said indifferently: "You mean, bury the sixth child casually?"

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

Zhao Changqing completely shredded the letter in his hand, tore it apart, and then let these confetti flutter in the wind, "Okay, just according to what you said, from now on, everything before will disappear." ”

Zhuge Liang understood what the emperor meant.

Zhao Changqing stretched his waist, looked in the direction of Luoyang, and muttered again: "The dust has settled, if I am the sixth or seventh, I will hide for a lifetime and never come out." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, everything is in the past. ”

Zhao Changqing nodded.

Noon.

Zhao Changqing sat on a big chair and felt a headache when he looked at the generals in front of him discussing military affairs.

He listened to a general idea, according to what Zhao Yun said, at present, the three armies have rested and are suitable to continue the expedition.

However, according to Jia Xu's meaning, they should wait until Chen Qingzhi's army approached before they could continue to march.

After listening to it for a long time, Zhao Changqing was annoyed, stroked his forehead, and said: "Don't quarrel, whether to continue the expedition or stay in Xianyang, I already have a general idea in my heart, and I decided that when Chen Qingzhi and others bring the army closer, the army will attack Yuanzhou County." ”

Hearing that His Majesty had already made a direct decision, and their quarrel was no longer important, he simply stopped talking and stopped arguing, and was stunned for a moment, Zhao Yun and Jia Xu took the lead in saying to the emperor: "Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhao Changqing said: "Okay, I want to rest for a while, if you have nothing to do, just withdraw first." ”

Everyone clasped their fists together and said, "The ministers are leaving." ”

said that it was rest, but in fact, it was thinking about the beginning and end of the war in Chudi.

He had a vague feeling that something bad was wrong.

It stands to reason that there must be someone behind the rebellion in Chudi.

Otherwise, there would not have been a rebellion for no reason.

There must be someone standing behind the sixth brother, and no one knows who is behind him.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Changqing still felt that the mysterious Jianghu force must have something to do with this matter.

I just don't know what the connection is.

Luoyang.

A month later, Zhao Hongqing received news from the Battle of Border Pass, which was from his father.

The letter clearly stated that everyone should be punished for the chaos and thieves.

For the arrangement of the sixth uncle, although it is not too close to human feelings, there is no way to do it.

Zhao Hongqing gradually understood the deep meaning of his father's actions.

After he buried his sixth uncle in a hurry, he officially announced an important news to all parts of the country, taking advantage of the national army to go out, there were some clowns who wanted to bring disaster to the country, but there was no need to worry.

They have all been cleaned up by the imperial court.

This is to reassure the people of the world.

The eleventh route army already has a four-way army, which is one with Zhao Changqing's soldiers.

They are Zhao Changlin, Zhao Yun, Cao Cao, and Chen Qingzhi.

It's been a whole month, and the Wei army still has a lot of troops, and they didn't come to the vicinity of Xianyang County according to Zhao Changqing's prediction.

This made Zhao Changqing impatient, and he didn't want to continue to wait, so he ordered the three armies to continue to march forward.

To be honest, the progress of this battle has been much slower so far, giving the Tang army a lot of respite.

At present, in the direction of the capital of the Tang Kingdom, at least six or seven hundred thousand Qinwang troops have arrived.

Of course, recruiting these 600,000 troops is already a kind of limit for them.

However, the army of King Qin in various parts of the Tang Kingdom, if used properly, would definitely have a great impact on the Wei army.
