After lunch, Zhao Changqing and Jian Yi wandered around the palace.

The crown prince followed.

The queen and the crown princess stayed in the emperor's bedroom to take care of the children.

Zhao Changqing asked Jian Yi, "How is the eldest princess doing, why didn't she come back with you?"

Jian Yi: "Just as I was about to tell Your Majesty about this, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was seriously injured, and she was also a strong man in the Northern Plains, but it was a human race, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess risked serious injuries and killed him, but after this battle, the eldest princess was injured and stayed in Qingqiu to heal." ”

"Heal in Qingqiu?" Zhao Changqing frowned, "There is Zhu Yanxiu in Luoyang, why don't you go back to Luoyang to heal?"

Jian Yi explained: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's injuries are different, they belong to Dao injuries, ordinary folk therapy, with little effect, in order to be on the safe side, we will send her to Qingqiu for treatment, where the aura is strong, very suitable for healing, but Your Majesty don't worry, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has Li Xingchen, the head of the Shushan Sword Sect, to take care of her, and it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

Zhao Changqing said worriedly: "I didn't expect that a Northern Plains would hide so many masters, and they all survived from the pre-Qin era?"

Jian nodded, "According to the information currently available, most of the people and demons sleeping in the Northern Plains are basically masters who survived from the pre-Qin era, and they used 10,000-year cold ice to seal the blood flow in their bodies, which can make the solid eternal, which is a very mysterious thing, but this 10,000-year ice, even in the Northern Plains, is also an unavoidable thing, it is hard to imagine how they found this kind of thing." ”

Zhao Changqing said: "Perhaps, 10,000 years of ice was not uncommon in their time. No matter what, the situation in Beiyuan must be closely watched, there are so many masters hidden, it is really unexpected, they are all remnants of the previous era, and they will even have a profound impact on this world, we have to guard against it. ”

Jian Yiyi: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that the old ancestor sister of the fox clan once went to Beiyuan?"

Zhao Changqing bowed his head and said: "This naturally remembers, it was still a lot of turmoil in the rivers and lakes at the beginning, why, what did you say about Beiyuan, it is related to Meixi?"

Jian Yiyi: "It's not certain yet, but my subordinates feel that this matter is absolutely inseparable from my sister's joy, and she must be inextricably linked with some existence in Beiyuan." ”

"This matter, we must investigate carefully and carefully, and strive to investigate all the secrets of the North Plains, if you need anything, just tell me, I will let the East Factory organize and spare no effort to help you. ”

Zhao Changqing said.

Jian Yizuo said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, it's just that this matter is not suitable for publicity, it is enough to have subordinates and Jianghu seniors in Wei State investigate." ”

Zhao Changqing nodded and said, "Okay, remember, you must be careful in everything." ”

Jian Yi stayed in Luoyang for a long time and left.

Zhao Changqing personally sent the sword out of the city.

On the way back to the palace, the crown prince asked Zhao Changqing, "Father, how big is the potential threat to us from the Northern Plains mentioned by the Sword Saint?"

Zhao Changqing frowned, "It is very likely that it will threaten the prosperity of our dynasty." ”

The prince was stunned when he heard this.

Quite surprised.

Zhao Changqing smiled and said: "However, you can rest assured, before passing on the throne to you, my father will definitely take care of everything for you, leaving you with a carefree dynasty to manage." ”

The prince didn't know how to answer, but he was deeply troubled.

Zhao Changqing sat in the imperial chariot and muttered to himself: "After Shenfeng, Beiyuan and Nanban dominate the world, I will remove all these tumors, by the way, there are also demon clans." ”

A year later.

In the spring of the twenty-second year of Taichu, the million-strong army of the Tang State invaded the border of the Great Wei.

According to Jinyiwei's reliable sources, nearly a million troops are coming one after another.

In the past year, the border of Great Wei has long been guarded by millions of soldiers.

Today's Great Wei, with strong soldiers and abundant food and grass, it is time to take a step forward.

Destroy the Tang!

For three days and three nights, in the Xuanzheng Hall and Chongde Palace, all the civil and military officials were nervously handling government affairs, controlling all available resources in the country and sending them to the border.

The Imperial Palace and even Luoyang City felt an extraordinary atmosphere.

It seems that it is heralding that an earth-shattering war is about to begin.

This battle will determine who is the overlord of this land.

Zhao Changqing was already dressed in armor and ready to go out at any time.

From all over the country, the troops who were quickly transferred either gathered at the original Wei border pass, or rushed directly to Luoyang.

If what the two emperors said when they met was true, then this battle would be the last battle of the Great Wei.

It was also the last battle in the world.

We must mobilize the whole country.

In addition to the million-strong army that was already on the border, Zhao Changqing transferred another two million male divisions from all over the country, not counting the 800,000-strong army in the Beiliang territory.

The crown prince has not closed his eyes and rested in the past few days, and he is busy with the ministers.

Mobilizing the materials and supplies needed for the 4 million army was really a very laborious task.

When he saw this number, Zhao Changqing was also stunned, he never thought that so many armies would emerge from all over the country.

At the beginning, he didn't even read some orders about conscription in various places, so he handed them over to the prince to deal with.

Therefore, the four million Wei Wushu who appeared all of a sudden surprised Zhao Changqing.

To be precise, it should be more than four million, because in the land of the Southern Barbarians, Xiao Yuming and Bai Qi still left an army of 500,000.

But this time, Zhao Changqing wanted to gather all the power he could use.

Only 300,000 troops of Beiliang were left to defend against the sneak attack of the Song State.

All the rest of the Wei soldiers were pulled to the border of the Tang State.

In this battle, we must do our best.

As long as the Tang State is destroyed, the Song State, which is not good at force, will be in the bag.

After everything was ready, the night before the expedition, Zhao Changqing and all the concubines in the harem, including the heirs, had a simple family banquet together.

The atmosphere of this family banquet was very bad, revealing a kind of depression.

But there is no way to do it, because the expedition to the Tang Kingdom is imperative.

During the dinner, He Ning, Daji, Wang Zhaojun and other women all drank a glass of wine with Zhao Changqing.

This is something that has never happened before.

They always felt that this battle would be extremely dangerous.

Because I heard that the Tang State also did its best to raise an army of three million.

The Great Scuffle of a whole seven million people, which is almost unprecedented.

Even in danger, they did not dare to persuade His Majesty not to fight this battle again.

Because they know very well that even if His Majesty does not fight, Tang Guo will take the initiative to take a stand.

Rather than this, it is better to fight to the death with the Tang State.

This is the great talent in His Majesty's heart, and as the emperor's woman, they should be even more supportive.

But in my heart, I just don't want him to go.

The queen said: "Your Majesty, how long do you think it will take to go on this expedition?"

Zhao Changqing said: "I don't know, it will probably take at least three years and five years." ”

The crowd fell silent.

Zhao Changqing said: "Maybe if the war goes well, it will take a year and a half." ”

The queen got up and led all the harem concubines to toast the emperor together, "The concubines wait for this glass of wine, and salute Your Majesty to return triumphantly." ”

The crown prince and the crown princess also suddenly got up when they heard the sound, and they toasted to the emperor one after another, "This cup of wine, the emperor is victorious." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled and drank the wine in the cup.

After everyone sat down safely, Zhao Changqing told the prince: "After my personal conquest, the situation in Luoyang and the country will be handed over to you, you must not let me down, handle the government affairs well, and if you are undecided, you can ask them more." ”

Even if it is a corrupt official, even if it is a traitor, in this situation, they will be united.

The crown prince nodded, "Don't worry, the son will not let his father worry." ”

Zhao Changqing nodded approvingly, picked up a glass of turbid wine again, and muttered to the moon, like a majestic mountain and river: "It's a picturesque country, and let's see how I come to get it!"
