Chapter 43 Questions
Three wolf smoke ignited from Canglong Ridge in the west, and one after another the beacons lit up wolf smoke to relay the news of the prince's death to the capital.
The news of Liu Qingyang's death in Canglongling outside the Dragon Slaughter Ditch spread all over the world in a very short period of time.
The Qingfeng Dynasty was shocked by the important ministers of the court and the people of Pingtou, and they really couldn't believe that the princes of the dynasty would die on the battlefield.
Everyone in the government and the opposition was talking about it, and they were all speculating about how dangerous the battle between Canglongling and Sanglindu was, how could even a noble figure like the prince be buried on the battlefield?
This shocking news not only caused panic among the military and civilians, but also cast a shadow over the two wars that the Qingfeng Dynasty was underway, and the ordinary people were gradually losing confidence in defeating their opponents and achieving victory.
In the palace council hall, Kim Sang-jae, the first assistant of the cabinet, was telling the emperor the details of the prince's death in the battle, which was a war report on the cause of Liu Qingyang's death brought back by a carrier pigeon raised in the army.
In the letter, he focused on the details of Kunlun Ding's Dharma Protector Zhenren Tianxiang intercepting the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the prince's heroic battle in adversity, but did not mention anything about Fengmingshan, Hao Yunyang, and leaving Liu Qingyang and others halfway.
Nangong Yu did not inform the court of the fact that Feng Mingshan's disciples had given up receiving the prince, although he knew that the truth of the matter could not be hidden from the princes above the court, but this matter must not break out before the war ended.
He believed that the people in the court would understand his intentions!
Because they needed to use the disciples of Fengming Mountain to fight against the cultivators of Kunlun Ding and Qianyou Mountain.
Once the two sides of the alliance got into trouble because of this matter, causing the alliance to break down, Feng Mingshan withdrew all his disciples, and the Qingfeng Dynasty lost Feng Mingshan's support, then the balance of victory and defeat in the war would definitely fall to the extraterritorial coalition forces.
At that time, no one can afford the consequences of losing the war, and even His Majesty the Emperor probably doesn't want to see his country robbed by foreigners because of the prince, right?
"What does Shousuke think I should do about this?" the Emperor asked his chief minister after learning the ins and outs of the whole matter.
"The minister thinks that there is nothing wrong with General Nangong's handling of this matter," Jin Xiangjie said: "On the northern battlefield, we are about to fight a decisive battle with the Golden Wolf Army, and it is really not appropriate to cause trouble, so the minister is willing to ask His Majesty to suppress this matter, not to pursue everything, and to focus on the overall situation." ”
The emperor's face was gloomy as water, he understood that Jin Xiangjie and Nangong Yu's handling of this matter was very correct, but he was extremely disgusted by this way of dealing with it.
Abandoned on the battlefield by the disciples of Fengming Mountain, it was the eldest prince of the Qingfeng Dynasty, and it was very likely that he would inherit Dabao and become the next emperor of the dynasty in the future.
Even such a character has never been put in the eyes of Fengmingshan, so it can be seen how arrogant the people of Fengmingshan are?
Do they really consider the Qingfeng Dynasty an ally?
"It's my son who died" The emperor sighed after being silent for a long time, after all, he is a mature emperor, and he has a clear understanding of the current war situation faced by the Qingfeng Dynasty, without the support of Fengming Mountain, the more than 100,000 golden wolf army that he put in is likely to become 100,000 real wolves wrecklessly in the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Qingfeng Dynasty, and then it will be thousands of Li people who will die.
"Tell the world the true reason why the prince died on the battlefield, and let my people see how determined I am to resist the invasion of foreign peoples, and for this reason, I will not hesitate to send my own son to the battlefield" Once the emperor put aside the emotional factor, he began to use his son's death rationally to inspire the world's subjects to share the enemy's heart and improve the morale of the entire Qingfeng Dynasty!
"Obey Your Majesty's decree" Kim Sang-jae stepped back, knowing that the emperor needed to calm down and sort out his thoughts.
After all, as a father, the blow brought by his son's death on the battlefield is also a pain that ordinary people can't bear, and Your Majesty also needs time to lick his wounds as the Ninth Five-Year Supreme.
The first heavy snow of early winter arrived as scheduled in the cold wind, and the capital under Qingfeng Mountain was wrapped in a silvery white world.
I sat in the Listening Rain Pavilion for five days and four nights, and I didn't move a single thing.
I was very uncomfortable, the breath that was blocked in my chest and abdomen could not be vented and made me feel sick and vomit, and the death of my eldest brother was transmitted back by the wolf smoke transmission method from the front three days ago.
I'm waiting, waiting for the real cause of my brother's death, because I know how strong the cavalry battalion around my eldest brother is, it is a group of real soldiers, strong and strong-willed, and an elite division carefully cultivated by the dynasty.
With this group of people following the eldest brother, even if they are surrounded by thousands of troops, they are sure to bring the eldest brother out.
Now a battalion of horsemen and the whole army are all outside the dragon slaughtering ditch, and there are only less than 100 wounded soldiers left to escort the body of the eldest brother back to Beijing, during which there must be some unspeakable hidden events that will cause the eldest brother to not even have a chance to escape from the battlefield, this is what I am waiting for.
The court did not mention the cause of his death in the announcement of the eldest brother's death, but only hyped up his heroic deeds of loyalty to the country and how resolute the determination of the dynasty was to resist foreign enemies, but did not mention the reason why the eldest brother really died on the battlefield.
Listening to the rain pavilion, I sat by the window and looked out of the window with wooden eyes.
"Kunlunding, did your people make a move on the eldest brother?" I asked myself softly.
In the entire Western Regions, only the people of Kunlun Ding have the ability to intercept and kill the eldest brother and the cavalry battalion under his command.
The matter of the eldest brother entering the army and going to the front line was listed as top secret by the Imperial Court Supervision Department, and there were no more than five people in the entire court who knew about it.
If it was really the people from Kunlun Ding who intercepted and killed the eldest brother, then they would definitely do it after they had the exact information.
How did the people in Kunlunding know that the eldest brother was in the army? Where did they get the information on the operation of the eldest brother and the retreat route of the cavalry battalion?
If someone from Kunlunding takes action against the eldest brother, then another problem will follow, there are disciples of Fengmingshan serving in the army on the front line, if the people from Kunlunding are dispatched by the people from Kunlunding, then General Nangong will inevitably invite the people of Fengmingshan to deal with the people from Kunlunding.
The eldest brother and the Xiao cavalry battalion have people from Fengming Mountain to protect them, even if they suffer heavy losses, at least the eldest brother can retreat with his whole body.
The eldest brother died on the battlefield!
What's going on?
Faintly, I seemed to have touched a large net, a large net called conspiracy that shrouded the sky of the Qingfeng Dynasty.
This large, invisible net is slowly closing and tightening.
I just don't know who the last person is in the net.
I sensed something was wrong, but I couldn't do anything about it.
I'm just a powerless and powerless little prince who has not yet reached adulthood, and I can't influence the battle strategy that has been formulated in the court, and even if I tell my father about the doubts in my heart, I won't get any attention.
Once again, I hated myself for being weak and unable to cope with the earth-shattering changes that were about to happen.
I racked my brain to figure out how to get my father to listen to my advice.
By the end I found out that in addition to waiting!
I can't do anything.
