Although the imperial court of the Son of Heaven has turned from prosperity to decline, the major vassal states have also gone their own way, the imperial power has declined, and no one has listened to its call.

But after all, the name of this empire is called the Mingwu Empire, and the owner of the empire is still Emperor Ji Hao, so at least respect must be there.

If you don't respect the emperor, you will naturally lose the support of the people, and such examples abound in history.

Once upon a time, Dongmin was located in the southeast of the empire, sitting on the sea resources and the Yangtze River waterway resources, but because of the disrespect for the emperor's orders, he even sent troops to confront the imperial court.

How does it end up?

The 300,000 naval army was firmly pinned down by Wu Yue, and the 300,000 infantry army was beaten by Western Chu.

Through this incident, it can be proved that the imperial court represents the general trend of the world, although there is no hard power of soldiers, but the appeal and prestige are still there.

As long as the order from the imperial court comes out, it is the will of the people.

Of course, to put it bluntly, Wu Yue and Xi Chu seized the opportunity at the beginning, and the so-called response to the call actually did not benefit them.

After the First World War, Wu Yue controlled the Yangtze River and a large number of territories north of the Yangtze River, and Western Chu also annexed the two northern counties of Dongmin, occupying all the territorial junctions of Dongmin and Wu Yue, and the territory reached the East China Sea.

Three thousand elites marched eastward from the southwest of the empire.

In the middle of the elite team, there was a carriage that was extravagant to the extreme, and purple smoke rose from the incense burner in the carriage.

A woman who is so beautiful that she feels like a fairy in the sky is reaching out to gently pat those refreshing ambergris.

Watching the smoke swirl around her palm, the woman was as happy as a child.

Occasionally, the woman would look out the window and giggle like a normal girl, and sometimes she would mumble to herself.

Outside the carriage were a full three thousand silver-armored guards, and she was sitting alone in the carriage with a magnificent style, coupled with such a look, if it wasn't Wang Dantian, the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who else could it be?

At this time, a female knight with a graceful figure stretched out her hand and knocked on the outer car wall, knocking more than ten times in a row.

The woman lazily lifted the curtain, raised her eyebrows to look at the guy who was still covered with white sand even if the leader was outside, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, I feel that the wind and sand are big outside, and I want to come in?"

The female knight raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Your Highness is thinking too much, the mountains and rivers outside here are good, the scenery is good, I just think Your Highness should come out to take a look." ”

"I don't bother to pay attention to you. ”

Wang Dan pursed his lips and said, "To be a woman is to be kind to yourself, what do you look like all day long?"

"That's a lot of exercise. ”

The female knight sighed and said, "You don't go out of the gate now, and you are trapped in that wall every day, why don't you seize the opportunity if you can come out to breathe?"

"What do you mean when you don't go out of the door?"

"Isn't it a walk in the back garden all day, isn't it exercise?"

Wang Dan rolled his eyes and said, "If you get in the car, I will tell you in detail what I do in the palace every day." ”

"Forget it......"

The female knight shook her head helplessly, and said, "You are the king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and I am just a maid who gives you a hand......"

"Maid?"

"The maid is as decent as you?"

Wang Dan leaned close to the car window with a gossipy face, and asked with a smile: "By the way, I heard that you secretly went to the north last time, how was it, did you see him?"

"Your Highness, you are the lord of a country, can you not do this?"

"What should the lord of the kingdom be?"

Wang Dantian looked down at himself, and then said: "This is wearing gold and silver, python robe and xiaxia, isn't it the appearance of the lord of a country?"

"It is true that there is no such thing as the lord of a country......"

The female knight shook her head with a wry smile and said, "How can the lord of a country always inquire about the private affairs of his subordinates like you." ”

"What's the matter, can't you ask?"

Wang Dan shrugged his shoulders and said, "You are not too young, you should get married anyway, and as the head of a country, shouldn't you look for a good family for your subordinates?"

"Forget it, I'm scared of you. ”

The female knight rushed forward and left Wang Dantian's sight.

"Xiao Nizi, fight with me?"

Wang Dan smiled, sighed, and said, "If you want this king to move, it is impossible in this life." ”

If you look at it from someone else's perspective, who would have thought that this is a master and a servant?

Wang Dantian is the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

And the female knight is the general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Pu Chengshuang......

On another official road, 3,000 Song troops escorted Yuan Mo, the king of the Later Song Dynasty, and Yuan Wanyu, the eldest princess of the Later Song Dynasty, to the east together.

Before leaving, Prime Minister You Feiyu told him not to have a conflict with the current Ye State, and even the general Wei Song stood up and said that he wanted to have a good relationship with the Ye State.

In terms of the current situation of the Later Song Dynasty, if the relationship with Ye is not maintained, Qianshu will be a lesson for them.

However, fortunately, there has never been any conflict between the two countries, and in the battle of Ye Shu, they even sent 50,000 reinforcements to help Ye State break through Rongyang Mansion, the former county town of Shuying County.

During this period, Yuan Wanyu, who organized Yuan Mo and others to choose to connect with Qi Shu to compete with Ye State, obviously played a vital role.

If it weren't for Yuan Wanyu's words, maybe Yuan Mo would really not have thought about choosing to join forces with those people.

But in the end, the ending of the Later Song Dynasty is not bad with the Qi State, the elite of the 50,000 Southern Qi army lost nearly half, and only the 30,000 Southern Qi army was left to retreat to Qi, and I heard that it was because Chu Yujia had a benevolent heart, otherwise the 50,000 Southern Qi troops would have to die in the territory of Qianshu.

"This time I entered Beijing, I am afraid that there is no good wine and no good banquet. ”

Yuan Mo sighed and said, "It's hard to know that Ye Guo is in trouble this time." ”

"Trouble?"

Yuan Wanyu smiled lightly and said, "Sister Chen thinks that this time to meet the Son of Heaven in Beijing is a great opportunity for Ye Guo. ”

"Oh?"

Yuan Mo looked at Yuan Wanyu in confusion and asked, "Why does Sister Wang think so?"

"Because Ye Guo is a sleeping hungry wolf, he is now in a situation to wake up. ”

Yuan Wanyu lost the innocence and scheming that she showed when she was in Ye Guo, and her eyes showed an indescribable shrewdness.

If Chu Yujia saw this kind of look, he would definitely be taken aback.

It seems that this little girl is not as simple as he imagined......

Speaking of which, how many women who can stand up in the change of power and have not been hurt are simple goods?

Especially if he can win the wholehearted trust of his brother Yuan Mo, it proves even more that Yuan Wanyu is not a simple-minded person.

Yuan Wanyu squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and said: "If the Northwest Army doesn't go out of the Northwest, the world won't notice this Northwest hungry wolf, but the Northwest Army has now left the Northwest, which is to tell the whole world that their ambitions of the Ye Kingdom are not limited to this place in the Northwest." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Mo pursed his lips and asked, "Then Wang Mei thinks, what will Ye Guo do next?"

"It's nothing more than two paths. ”

Yuan Wanyu was silent for a moment, and then said: "One goes east, and the other goes west......"
