Under the scorching sun, the southern finches fly north.

Yueyang goes north for millions of miles, the clouds and mist are misty, and the mountains are stacked and green. Two white horses, fur like snow, pulled a cart carrying six people, slowly driving through the rugged mountain road.

The hole in Mo Xian's heart had been completely healed yesterday, and after Xia Xun repeatedly rechecked, it was indeed fine. The six of them have nothing to do, and they are extremely boring. As for why they didn't fly in the sky at this time, but walked slowly on the ground, a few days ago, the little monk explained like this: "Amitabha, life is short and all beings are suffering, I am not in a hurry to go north, why don't the three donors do good deeds with fate, and teach people who are destined to be created together with the little monk?"

This is a profound statement, Xia Hou heard this at that time, and he didn't know what it meant for a while.

It's just that after these two days, he can understand the situation...

To put it bluntly, when it is time to eat, he is cheeky to look for something to eat. The only difference from the beggars on the roadside is that no matter whether others give food or not, the little monk insists on nagging others for a long time. The little monk still said in a stubborn manner, "It's okay, this is gratitude and kindness." ”

Well, be grateful for good deeds.

If it is said that the fate of the monk is still reasonable, then the sentence of the little monk who teaches the fate of the person in the creation is even more outrageous. In the past few days, a group of them flew in the sky on the clouds, this flew all the way, a fat and a small monk lowered their heads to the ground all the way, as long as they saw someone on the ground encountered something, no matter how big or small, no matter the situation, it will inevitably be like a flying immortal outside the sky, the royal horse is airborne, come forward for it to "solve the difficulty", and then preach Buddhism by the way. Several times, the little people who had little knowledge in the poor ravine thought that they really saw the gods descend to earth, so they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, opened the altar and made a wish. What's more, they rushed up to get the treasures of the immortal family, and the Xiahou people who followed behind the three monks were not embarrassed, they couldn't even eat enough, where could there be any immortal treasures. Repeated explanations to no avail, people didn't believe it at all and thought you were picking the door, and you were going to grab it directly, but fortunately, the two white horses ran fast, so that a group of six people could avoid being stripped naked.

You say, "The world is so great, how can it be justified?"

Now, Xiahou and the others finally knew why these three monks had to go to Beijing two months in advance. Leaving on the day of the Yingshui Night Banquet is one of the reasons. And the real main reason is that according to the way these three monks have to get together for any excitement, if they don't have two months, they won't be able to get to Kyoto at all!

Sadness comes from the heart, and there is no way to regret it, Xia Hou felt in his heart that these three strange bald donkeys were deliberately sent by Xia Yuan to torture him. Look at the carrier pigeons flying high in the sky, in just a few days, how many hundreds of rounds have been flown over, but they are still grinding here, it is uncomfortable to think about it.

Xia Xun actually had the same thought, but it was only a flash.

And now, there is more of an inexplicable concern in his heart. Concerns come from the carrier pigeons flying north in the sky. When these carrier pigeons flew through the second round, Xia Xun could already be sure that something big would happen in Yueyang City. As for what happened, he might be able to guess seven points, but looking at the countless birds flying north in the sky, flapping their wings rapidly, in the dark, he always felt that in some neglected place, there was an unprecedented danger, gradually approaching him.

"Bang Bang..."

The letter bird rides the wind and hears about the Tang Dynasty.

Here go north for more than 46 million miles, the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the capital of the country, Chang'an.

The city is 7,000 miles, surrounded by a hundred zhang high walls, surrounded by thousands of miles of Surabaya. The attic is uneven, without losing the majesty of the king. Magnificent and magnificent, but also with ink rhyme. The mountains and forests outside the city are beautiful, there are garrisons to guard, the city is orderly, the people live in peace, and there is a prosperous scene.

Thousands of miles away, climb high and overlook, the four most famous buildings in the city are the first to come into view!

The reason why the word "most" is added here is because these four buildings are well-deserved and the first in the world in the fields they represent.

The north tower leads to the sky, I don't know how high it is, it rises from the ground and goes straight into the sky, and there is no end in sight. Although it is hopeless, everyone knows that on the top of the tower lives the tallest man in the world. His height had even surpassed that of the Great Strategist who had retreated to the North and the Great Arithmetic of the Immortal Pure Yang.

The south building is drunk with immortals, ten thousand zhang que building, Biwa Zhu Yong, Bei Que Zhu Palace. Yingshui's Yueyang Tower is compared with it, it is not enough to mention at all, and at a glance, you can know that only rich and noble people can have a pastime. And it is true that some masters have calculated that the wealth of the enemy country is only a corner in front of them. The price of this building is comparable to the hundred-year tax payment of the Tang Dynasty in the prosperous era! You can imagine how expensive this is.

The West Mountain is really martial, the mountains are steep for hundreds of miles, the towering ancient trees cover the sky, and a stone carving giant sword of hundreds of zhang is inserted straight upside down on the top of the main peak. The word "true martial arts" is written on the body of the sword, and it is magnificent, if there is a real dragon hidden inside, it stands on the top of the mountain, and looks down on the world! Here, it is praised by the world as the return of ten thousand swords, the peak of true martial arts. Although half a hundred years ago, this mountain was once cultivated by the world-terrifying "God of Killing" at the peak of the king realm, and slaughtered four holy ancestors in one day, but to this day, no one dares to say that this mountain is in vain. Because, in the middle of this mountain, there lives a woman who doesn't even dare to use a sword with the killing god...

The east hall of Jinluan, there is no need to spend more pen and ink here. No matter how high you reach the sky, no matter how expensive the drunken immortal is, no matter how powerful the true martial arts are, it is not as good as the Son of Heaven Ninety-Five! Tian*que, the core of the 70 million miles of territory of the Tang Dynasty, is worshiped by all the people, the princes pay tribute, a holy decree can call hundreds of millions of people live and die, and an angry king can change the sun and the moon, who dares not to kneel in the Jinluan Palace?

No one dares not to kneel...

At this moment, on the Jinluan Palace, under the plaque, all the officials worshipped!

At the top of the main hall, nine lifelike golden dragons, lying cross-legged and carved on the throne of Jinluan, a "real dragon" sits in it.

The knife cuts the general face, and the water chestnut angle is distinct. The deep gaze contains divine martial arts. The power of the supreme king, hidden deep in the sword eyebrows, contains but does not spit out, and is intimidating. His calm and tenacious expression was somewhat similar to that of King Yueyang, but he was more imposing than King Yueyang! He was like a real golden dragon, lying on top of the Nine Heavens, condescendingly looking at the civil and military officials who were trembling and prostrate on top of the main hall.

"Your Majesty, all dynasties, only kings can build high platforms. ”

"Although Li Changan is a prince, he is still a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, without the permission of His Majesty, he dared to build a high platform in Yingshui privately, worship the ancestors with the rites of the emperor, and brutally kill the court officials in front of everyone's eyes, and his heart of disobedience is seen by the world!"

"Your Majesty, what Cui Shangshu said is very true. ”

"Xia Yuan is a thief of the rebel Xia clan, who indiscriminately killed innocent people in Chang'an a few days ago, and absconded in Yueyang in fear of crime. Li Chang'an, as the prince of our dynasty, not only did he take down this person according to the laws of the imperial court, but also gave him the title of "Generalissimo of the Great Expedition", awarded the commander of the army and the seal of the commander, and took charge of the three cities of Xiangyang, Yuyang and Xianyang. His rebellious heart is even more visible to the world!"

"Minister, I beg Your Majesty to immediately send troops to crusade against the traitors and restore peace to the world!"

"Minister, reconsideration. ”

"Minister, reconsideration. ”

“......”

The first batch of carrier pigeons had already brought detailed news of Yueyang City to Kyoto a few days earlier.

Up and down Kyoto, inside and outside the government and the opposition, they were shocked when they heard the news, and they were shocked by the anger of hundreds of officials. Astonished is the wrath of the people. The reason why they are all angry rather than afraid is mainly due to King Yueyang's reputation in Kyoto, which is too unbearable.

In the past ten years, the three characters of Yueyang Wang have almost the same meaning as the word coward in the eyes of the common people and bureaucrats in Chang'an City. And one of the most famous things is that on that bloody night twelve years ago, in order to avoid being implicated, he personally sent his pregnant princess into the Taihe Palace, but he ran back to Yueyang in the southern region alone, willing to be a real turtle. Cowardly and shameless, King Yueyang can definitely be called unprecedented, and there is no one who will come after, and he should be pointed out by thousands of people.

However...

At this time, it is precisely such a prince who is despised by the people of the world who has actually erected a banner in Yueyang in the southern region! Build a high platform, worship the ancestors, rebuke the Son of Heaven, and point his sword at Kyoto! How can this make people not angry and angry? If he is really made emperor, where will he put the face of a man in the world? Can the civil and military officials above the court still kneel down and bow their heads? Can the etiquette, righteousness, and law of the Tang Dynasty still exist?

Rightly or wrongly, this is the dignity of a nation that no one can desecrate!

So, they were furious.

"Let's settle down, I am free to decide this matter. ”

Looking at the civil and military officials who knelt down and bowed down in the hall, the emotionally excited civil and military officials, the dragon-robed son of heaven on the throne of Jinluan, his expression was solemn and calm, as quiet as water, without any waves. No one could tell what was going on in his mind at this moment. Raise your hands and say a word, don't say anything about progress, don't say anything about retreating, and don't say anything about it.

There were hundreds of officials in the hall, but no one stood up. An old minister with gray sideburns, kneeling in front of the hundred officials, lowered his head, faced the ground, and said in a loud and earnest voice: "Please think twice, Your Majesty! The country has laws, and the court has laws. Minister, I beg your Majesty to immediately raise troops to fight against us, exterminate the traitors with the power of thunder, and do not hesitate to do so! Otherwise, the people of the world will not be convinced, and the thieves who are lurking under the rivers will act even more recklessly, and take the opportunity to disrupt the foundation of our Tang Dynasty's national fortunes! Please, Your Majesty will be aware of it!"

The rhetoric is impassioned and sonorous, and this old minister should also be old and strong.

The king on the throne of Jinluan swept a glance at the ministers under the hall and asked, "Is this also the meaning of the Zhongqing family?"

"Minister, I beg Your Majesty to raise troops to fight immediately!"

"Minister, I beg Your Majesty to raise troops to fight immediately!"

“......”

The emperor asked, and all the officials responded in unison, neatly and uniformly.

It is not difficult to see that the civil and military officials in this hall should have passed each other's qi a long time ago, otherwise how could they bring such a rhythm? The dragon robe rolled up its sleeves, caressing the pearl of the chair handle, and the two fingers flicked slightly, and there seemed to be thoughts brewing between the sword eyebrows.

"Then where should the troops be raised, and how should they be recruited?"

"Your Majesty. ”

The second place in the first row of the group of ministers is a middle-aged official wearing a third-grade military attache python, and the wide official robe is difficult to hide his bulging strong muscles, which is very powerful. He crawled on the ground, crawled out two steps, raised the wat board with both hands over his head, and said loudly: "Li Changan recently beheaded thousands of my court officials, which must have caused turmoil in the hearts of the soldiers in the states and counties in the Southern Regions, and the city was empty. The minister suggested that he immediately appoint Ma'anshan Taishou to be the vanguard of the thieves, and Wu Wei, the Taishou of Luoyan County, and Shi Guang, the Taishou of Qizhou, as the deputy forwards, and lead the defenders of the three cities to cross the border first, and find out the defense of the cities on the front line of the Southern Regions, and the military formations of equipment. Then Tiance dispatched 8 million elite iron cavalry, divided the troops into two routes, limited to 50 days, 3 million all the way around Dongzhou to cross the border, and 5 million all the way to enter from Ma'anshan with the imperial order, if they disobeyed the order and did not surrender, they would be killed, destroy the city and pull out the village, and drive directly to the henchmen of the Southern Regions! As soon as the time limit is up, if Li Changan has no intention of standing on his own and is suddenly surrounded and suppressed by the three armies, he will be defeated!

Words are like people, words are knives, and when you hear it, you know that this military attache must be a soldier, with clear thinking and decisive killing.

The dragon robe tapped his fingers and stroked the dragon pearl, still unhurried, and didn't know what he meant: "If he has been prepared, what if he can't attack Yueyang in fifty days?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The military attache raised his head slightly, his tiger eyes were full of essence, he looked up at the auspicious dragon heavy platform shoes exposed under the dragon robe, and then said loudly: "If Yueyang cannot be conquered within the time limit, it proves that Li Changan has long had the intention of plotting to usurp the throne, and has secretly supported the army to stand on his own!" At that time, Your Majesty will no longer need to care about blood and family affection, and will transfer 10 million Cangyun Shield armor to the north as the main force to attack the fortification, and send 5 million from the imperial capital to support the Imperial Forest, and please send half of the Holy Army to protect the country as a helper, and promulgate the Holy Edict to suppress thieves, and order the counties of Dongzhou to defend the Taishou, and the defenders of the southern front line of the Northern Regions, gather tens of millions of lions, and sweep the Southern Regions with the eight-way front, forming a raging trend!"

The momentum was like a flame, and the military attaché's strategy was more murderous than before.

After he finished speaking, all the officials in the Jinluan Hall seemed to be able to smell the smell of wolf smoke from thousands of troops and horses across the battlefield. And the king sitting on the throne of Jinluan should be able to smell it, because he tapped his fingers on the pearl on the handle of the dragon chair, and he had stopped moving.

The sword eyebrows are hidden, and his eyes are like dragons, he looked at the military attache who spoke before for a while, and then said: "What do you mean, I already know, retreat from the dynasty." ”

“......”

After that, without waiting for the hundred officials in the hall to react, the speaker stood up and walked slowly down the dragon platform, and the two palm eunuchs waiting under the dragon platform hurriedly bowed down to meet him and followed him. The other two attendant little eunuchs carefully picked up the long swing of the dragon robe that dragged to the ground, and followed in small steps. Under the court, although the hundreds of officials who were prostrate and kneeling had doubts, at this time the emperor had already said that he had withdrawn from the court, and no one dared to persuade him again.
