The Tang Palace is known as the "first palace in the world", and all the buildings in the palace are inlaid and decorated with the finest pure gold, white jade and jadeite, which looks very magnificent. The avenue in front of the Jinluan Palace, the ground is actually paved with Kunlun jade, under the sun, the surface of Kunlun jade is covered with a layer of golden halo, and the light is abnormally bright. In the middle of the avenue, there is a stone lion carved from marble every five zhang, although it is a fake, but it is several times more powerful than the real male lion. There are two small copper tripods on each side of the stone lion, and the smoke from the tripod can make the listener feel refreshed. Even if you don't sleep all night, your mind will wake up immediately after smelling the smoke.

The basic appearance of the Jinluan Hall is the same as that of other palaces, except that the auspicious carvings of dragons and phoenixes on the top of the palace are different. The carvings are bright and colorful, and they are beautiful. At first glance, it seems to be made of colored glass, but after careful distinction, it is found that the colorful flowers circulating in the process are more dazzling and transparent than the colored glass, and it is like a kind of heavenly divine stone. can't help but sigh that the Tang royal family is rich in the world.

Three months ago, Xue Huai, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, disappeared for unknown reasons. At that time, the ministers who attended the prime minister's birthday banquet did not remember what happened that night, and the Tang Emperor was extremely shocked that someone could sneak into the prime minister's mansion unknowingly and kidnap Xue Huai in front of the public. The Tang Emperor hurriedly sent people to investigate, and ordered spies to go around to follow Xue Huai's traces. Although the identity of the person who infiltrated the Prime Minister's Mansion has not been ascertained, a few days ago, the spies reported back the bad news that Xue Huai was divided by the current emperor of Yasukuni on Moon Shadow Island.

The Tang Emperor Ming Zheng, dressed in a golden dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair with a very serious face, said in a loud voice: "My most powerful official in the Tang Dynasty, Prime Minister Xue Huai was tortured by five horses in Yasukuni and died unexpectedly. I wonder what you Aiqing thinks about this matter?"

Standing at the forefront, a handsome young man dressed in a bright yellow prince's suit, with red lips and white teeth, and a jade face, took a step forward and said: "Back to my father, according to the opinion of the ministers, the prime minister's death in vain is a state matter, and it must not be stopped. Master died an extremely unjust death, if I can't avenge it, how can I save face in the Tang Kingdom?"

This admonishing young man is the current prince of the Tang Kingdom, the only disciple of Prime Minister Xue Huai, known as Ming Wei, the first warrior of the Tang Dynasty.

When Ming Zheng saw his son speak, the corners of his mouth raised a smile that was not easy to be noticed, and then he straightened his face and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Er Shang is young, his blood is strong, and he doesn't know the reason. Once the two countries are at war, it will be difficult to stop without distinguishing between victory and defeat. But most of the final results were losses for both sides, and the national strength was lost. In the interests of the country, the livelihood of the people is harmless and not beneficial, even so, do you still have to be stubborn?"

Ming only said word by word: "Father, you must know that people are good and people are bullied, and horses are good and people are ridden." If anyone does not offend me, I will not sin. Now that Yasukuni has brutally murdered our country's prime minister for no reason, if we turn a blind eye and ignore it, the world will laugh at our Datang foreign powerhouse!"

After hearing this, Ming Zheng suddenly laughed loudly on the Jinluan Palace, and the ministers all looked at each other, not knowing what the meaning of their laughter was. According to your opinion, if 200,000 elite troops are allocated to attack Yasukuni, will there be a chance of victory?"

Ming Wei replied: "If you get 200,000 elite soldiers and defeat the rabble of Yasukuni, it will be effortless." ”

"Ming Wei listened to the order, I named you the Marshal of Shuntian, and led an army of 200,000 to crusade against Yasukuni, this battle can only be won and not defeated, you need to make a military order, if you are defeated and return, I will deprive you of the position of prince. ”

Ming Wei saw that his father not only agreed with him, but also put the military power into his hands, and his heart was both happy and grateful. "Emperor Xie Father's trust and appreciation of his sons, I will fight with all my strength and return triumphantly as soon as possible. ”

So Ming Wei began to dispatch troops and prepare grain, grass and warships. It is scheduled to lead 200,000 elite troops on the coast of Datang to board a warship and set off on Moon Shadow Island seven days later.

The Tang Dynasty's attack on Yasukuni has gradually become the most frequently discussed topic. The news spread ten, ten, hundreds, and within three days, it reached the Moon Shadow Island. The people of Yasukuni suddenly exploded, and the people were panicked, as if they were a scene before a disaster came.

The news that the Tang Kingdom led a large army to attack Yasukuni soon spread to the palace, and Li Zaixing did not show surprise after learning the information, but smiled lightly: "I expected that the Tang Kingdom would not give up and would definitely avenge Xue Huai." In this way, let them have a good understanding of Yasukuni's strength. Ten years ago, my cousin did not complete the mission, let me continue it, this time no matter what the cost will be, it will be successful!"

In the early morning of the next day, in the court, Li Zaixing made the decision to face the battle head-on in public, and expressed his views on the current situation, and his words were impassioned.

"I, the Moon Shadow Clan, have been subjects of the Tang Kingdom for hundreds of years, and have been endlessly oppressed and bullied. Ten years ago, my cousin and my father set a precedent and bravely resisted, and finally we were freed. But how could the Tang Dynasty let go of a 'gold panning tool' that had brought him countless benefits? As long as an excuse was found, the army of the Great Tang Kingdom would certainly advance in a big way, making us inferior subjects again. Now they've found an excuse, but we're very different. Yasukuni will no longer be under the fence and will no longer be controlled by others. The previous time he sent troops to attack the barbarians, he won a complete victory without wasting any effort, without losing a single soldier. This shows that the Yasukuni army is strong and its morale is high, so why should the Tang Dynasty be afraid? If the Tang Army does not dare to come, it will be fine, and if it dares to come, it will definitely be said that it will not return!"

The exciting words made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty feel high-spirited, and said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers are willing to assist Your Majesty in a desperate battle with the Tang Kingdom." ”

Li Zaixing's face showed a look of joy and said, "I am very pleased that the Qing and others are so loyal and serve the country. There is an important matter that I hope the secretary will help me with advice, the commander of the barbarian Song Zhendong was seriously injured on the battlefield and has not fully recovered, and can not serve as the commander again. ”

A military attache walked out of the second row, stepped forward a few steps and said loudly: "Your Majesty clearly advises, the minister knows that one person can be qualified for the position of marshal, this person has studied the art of war with the patriarch of the Tang Dynasty, so he knows the method of marching and arranging the army of the Tang Dynasty well. The minister thought that he belonged to the position of marshal. ”

Li Zaixing pondered for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly seemed to recall something, and said with a smile: "Aiqing is talking about Lin Xiusheng's predecessor who has lived in seclusion alone in Linshui Peak since three years ago?"

The military attache hurriedly bowed his head and said, "This is the person." ”

Li Zaixing nodded and said, "I will personally go to invite his old man out of the mountain tomorrow." ”

The next day, Li Zaixing sent a spy to inquire about the specific situation of the Tang army, and the spy looked quite panicked after returning, and when Li Zaixing asked him for information, his face showed a worried look, and his voice was slightly hoarse. "The momentum of the Tang Army this time is extremely huge, with more than 200,000 soldiers and dozens of generals, and the leader is probably the first warrior of the famous Tang Kingdom, the crown prince Mingwei. Numerous warships have been assembled on the coast, and the magnitude of the force is rare. This time, they are menacing, and they seem to have the will to win, and Your Majesty should be cautious. ”

Li Zaixing was not surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that they won't go all out, so if Yasukuni wins this battle, it is expected to dominate Dongsheng Shenzhou." ”

After having a comprehensive understanding of the enemy army, Li Zaixing immediately set off to Linshui Peak and found Lin Xiusheng's residence in a picturesque place on the peak.

The small bridge flows, the grass and trees are thick, the flowers are in full bloom, and the bamboo building is quiet.

Li Zaixing saw a white-haired old man fishing by the stream, so he hurriedly walked over, bent down and made a big salute, and said respectfully: "Senior Li Zaixing, see Senior Lin." ”

Lin Xiusheng didn't stop the movements of his hand, but responded slowly: "You are the saint today, why bother to make this great gift." There is a way to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and Your Majesty must have something important to entrust to me before this trip. ”

Li Zaixing was taken aback, and immediately praised: "The seniors are really the masters of the world, and the younger generations will not be dumb." I came this time because of the large-scale invasion of the Tang Kingdom, the situation is extremely critical, and our army is fully equipped but lacks a marshal. I heard that my predecessors were proficient in the art of war of the Tang Dynasty, so I wanted to ask my predecessors to go out of the mountains to serve as commanders, lead our army to repel the enemy, and resolve the disaster of destroying the country. Even if my predecessors ask me to give up the throne to you, why not?"

Lin Xiusheng laughed loudly and said: "The little doll is very sharp-toothed, but how do you know that I am the best candidate for that handsome position? If I am asked to lead the army but lose, what will you do?"

Li Zaixing said seriously: "With the wisdom of the predecessors, let alone the Tang Kingdom, even the alliance of the four continents and the four major powers can easily repel it." If the army led by you cannot escape defeat, it can only be said that the heavens want to destroy our Yasukuni, and it is inevitable. ”

"If I had not done you such a favor, would I not have been incompetent. What's more, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and this is a major matter related to the life or death of Yasukuni, and the old man has no choice but to take care of it! I will go down the mountain with you and lead the army against the Tang Dynasty. The throne is exempted, I know that I am not the material to be the emperor, not to mention that I am already so old, and I have more than enough strength to do it. Lin Xiusheng stroked his beard and chuckled.

Li Zaixing was overjoyed, and immediately took Lin Xiusheng to sit in the dragon chariot and return to the palace down the mountain. An unprecedentedly tragic war in the history of Dongsheng Shenzhou is about to begin.
