The First Battle of Xincheng can be said to be the last battle to dominate the Central Plains of Beiding.

At this time, Murong Hong took 100,000 troops to Tiantai City, and the food was not enough to support a month, and the morale was extremely low.

The nearly 500,000 troops led by the commander have won many victories, and they have also defeated the legendary skeleton army, and the morale of the north is so high that they almost think that they can poke holes in the sky. The cities in the north have been annexed to the wind, and the military rations basically do not need to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River now, but the supply of the northern cities is enough to support the operation of the army.

In this case, many people think that this battle is no longer necessary.

But Murong Hong refused, he still had an army of 100,000, and an army of 100,000 could fight, and he still had Salanzhou under his account, and the Salan family was rooted in the Northern Desert, as long as he led the army to the Northern Desert to gain a firm foothold, and then waited for the opportunity to go south, it is not known who will kill the deer.

Murong Hong told Salanzhou about this idea, and Salanzhou agreed with what Murong Hong said.

Without further ado, Murong Hong immediately dispatched his troops and prepared to lead his troops north before the Kingdom of God surrounded Tiantai Mountain.

The generals of the Kingdom of God were also worried that Murong Hong would flee north, and they all asked to lead a group of light cavalry to attack Tiantai City.

The Commander, on the other hand, rejected all the generals' proposals on the grounds that it was not appropriate to go deep alone.

Seeing that Yang Zongheng had not spoken, the commander asked Yang Zongheng's opinion.

Yang Zongheng said: "I don't know the art of war, now that the general trend has been decided, Salanzhou is the person who understands the facts the most, I think he must regret betraying the kingdom of God now." ”

At this moment, a person suddenly announced: "Master Salan took Murong Hong's head and visited the emperor. ”

The Commander smiled, "Let him in." ”

Not long after, Salanzhou walked in with a box, and saw the generals and mages smile and said, "Colleagues, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

"Brother Yang, long time no see. ”

Then Salanzhou knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, Salanzhou is fortunate to live up to his mission and bring back the head of the thief." ”

The generals looked at the commander in surprise, and only then did they realize that Salanzhou had surrendered on purpose.

Even Yang Zongheng was taken aback, the acting skills of these two people were simply amazing.

"How is Tiantai City now?"

"The other generals have been controlled by other mages of the Salan family, and the 100,000-strong army is safe and sound, without any mutiny, just waiting for the emperor to take over. ”

The generals of the Kingdom of God were really envious, jealous and hateful at this time, and such a great achievement that was enough to go down in history was taken away by the Salan family.

It's infuriating to think about.

The Commander stood up and said, "Let's go to Tiantai City." ”

Tiantai City is the largest city in Jizhou, with a population of millions, originally these people thought that a big war was inevitable, when the time came, they would definitely destroy their homes and destroy their lives, but they did not expect to be able to conquer the soldiers without a fight, and the prestige of the people in the hearts of Tiantai people was immediately established.

The squires of Tiantai City, especially those who were old, had already arranged for the people to cross the road to welcome the ruler.

The ruler did not make a sedan chair, but rode into the city on a tall horse.

The cheering crowd knelt down all over the streets, long live, the earth shook the mountains, and the ruler was in a trance at this time.

It all seemed like a dream.

Tiantai City does not have a palace, the real palace is in the Shendu, and the Shendu was occupied by the Shenguo army a month ago.

But the ruler didn't go in, and he swore that he would only enter the place where his ancestors lived when he really pacified Murong Hong.

Now that Murong Hong has finally calmed down, he should go home.

"Tell the emperor, Liangzhou Mu asks to see. ”

"Liangzhou? ”

I saw a person holding a picture scroll in both hands and stepped forward, knelt down and bowed: "Liangzhou Thorn Shi Du Huaiyi greets His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Tong Yu smiled and said: "Du Huaiyi, your Du family Liangzhou is having a good life." ”

Du Huaiyi said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the minister is here to fulfill the last wish of the ancestors. ”

The Dominator frowned and said, "Last wish, what last wish?"

"The Du family has been a courtier of the Kingdom of God for generations, Liangzhou is also the land of the Kingdom of God, when the Kingdom of God was covered with dust, and the clothes crossed to the south, His Royal Highness the King of Liang had to lead the defenders of Liangzhou to rush to Guanzhong, escort the emperor across the river, before leaving, he tore off the jade robe on his body and handed it to the ancestors: 'Good life takes care of this robe, this king will definitely come to take it. 'The ancestors remembered the entrustment of the old prince, and did not dare to relax China one day, and looked forward to the prince going north to return the jade robe. ”

The commander hurriedly turned over and dismounted, carefully took the jade robe and said: "I only know that after the old prince left Liangzhou, Liangzhou was taken over by your Du family, but I have never heard of such a secret. ”

Du Huaiyi called for someone to come, and the person who came was holding a jade plate with a huge seal on it.

"This is the seal letter of the king of Liangzhou, and now it is handed over to Your Majesty, but Liangzhou has been harassed by various forces for many years, and has even been lost many times, so that it is still outnumbered for decades, and has failed to do its best for the great cause of Your Majesty's Northern Expedition, and I hope that Your Majesty will atone for your sins. ”

The Commander looked at the seal and suddenly said, "Du Huaiyi listens to the order." ”

Du Huaiyi was slightly stunned, and immediately bowed down and said, "The sinner is here." ”

"The three generations of the Du family are loyal and righteous, guarding the northwest gateway of the Kingdom of God, specially sealing the northwest king, guarding Liangzhou, hereditary replacement, and admiration. ”

"Your Majesty. Du Huaiyi's eyes were filled with tears.

"Huaiyi, King Liang is the title of my ancestor, I can't give it to you, I hope you will forgive me. ”

"Your Majesty. Du Huaiyi threw himself to the ground, his face full of tears.

Seeing this scene, the people around couldn't help but be moved.

"Long live the emperor. I don't know who shouted, and then the overwhelming shouts rang out again.

The ruler only held the one-foot jade robe in his hand, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

Grandpa, Father, did you see, I took our home back.

Suddenly, without warning, the Dominion suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse.

Hai Lan'er stood in the imperial garden, looking at the moon in the sky, and suddenly a hurried voice came.

A shrill voice announced: "Your Royal Highness the princess, Lord Zhang asks to see you." ”

Before the words fell, I saw Zhang Ben trotting in in a hurry.

Hai Lan'er looked at Zhang Ben's panicked and serious face and frowned, Zhang Ben didn't say anything but nodded.

Hai Lan'er hurriedly walked down the jade steps, and ordered as she walked: "The herald orders to increase the 10,000 imperial forest troops to strictly guard the gate of the Lindu Palace, and the battalions in the south of the Yangtze River will enter a state of readiness from this time on. Xuanwen and the military officials immediately entered the palace to discuss matters, no matter what excuse they had to come, even if they died, they would bring the body into the palace. ”

The eunuch received the order and hurried out.

Within an hour, the court was already full of people.

Hai Lan'er looked at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, her eyes were sharp, and she said after a long time: "Your Majesty, you have died." ”

As soon as these words came out, I only heard the crying in the court.

The Ruler may not be a good man in the traditional sense, but he is a good emperor.

It was he who lifted the crumbling kingdom of God again, and it was his persistence that washed away the shame of the kingdom of God for decades, and even some ministers who once looked down on the ruler began to admire this emperor.

The ruler is not yet forty years old, how could he die suddenly, they can't accept it, they still want to follow the emperor to create a glorious kingdom of God, this is not true, some old ministers can't stand this blow and faint on the spot.

Hai Lan'er watched the humerus ministers of the imperial court cry and cry like women one by one, and suddenly threw out the jade cup in front of her.

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs immediately suppressed his voice, but he could still hear bursts of sobbing.

"This palace didn't let you come to listen to your crying, now that the emperor is still in the divine capital, what do you say you should do?"

A minister said: "The minister thinks that the world should be announced, the whole country should bring vegetarians, and then send a spirit team to welcome the emperor back to the court." ”

Speaking of which, there was crying and crying again.

Hai Lan'er continued to ask quietly, "What about the others?"

"The minister thought that he should secretly welcome the emperor back to the court, and then mourn. ”

The crowd began to argue about these two issues.

Suddenly, Zhang Ben said: "Everyone, you seem to have forgotten the most important thing, the country cannot be without a king for a day, the emperor has not yet set up a prince, and the emperor has three sons, King Wu, King Yue, King Chu, which one do you plan to support?"

The royal family has always been the most sensitive part of the royal family, and the slightest carelessness can cause fratricide.

The Dominator once thought that he was at the peak of spring and autumn and wanted to wait a little longer, but he didn't expect it......

"King Wu is talented and intelligent, and he should be the king of Wu. ”

"King Yue is pure and kind, with the style of an emperor, King Yue is more suitable. ”

"No, no, the King of Chu is brave, most like the Emperor of Daxing, it should be the King of Chu. ”

Hai Lan'er looked at these people in front of her, slowly stood up, walked to the front of the steps and said slowly: "Luo Yin, do you support King Wu?"

Luo Yin stood up and said, "Exactly." ”

"Qian Miao, do you support the king of Yue?"

"That's right"

"Fan Qing, do you support the King of Chu?"

"The minister is for the sake of the country of God. ”

"Someone came, dragged the three out and beheaded them, punished the nine clans, and accused them of forming a party and rebelling. ”

"The minister is wronged"

"The minister is for the kingdom of God. ”

"The princess spares her life. ”

Quiet, surprisingly quiet, no one in the court dared to say a word.

Hai Lan'er said, "Do you have any other proposals?"

At this time, the ministers trembled all over their bodies and did not dare to speak, for fear of being killed and punished by the nine clans.

At this time, Zhang Ben stood up and said: "The emperor has a great spring and autumn season, the prince has not been established, the three kings are young, and I hope that the princess will focus on the overall situation and temporarily act as the regent to calm the hearts of the people." ”

At this time, those ministers understood Hai Lan'er's true intentions.

I'm so stupid that such a great opportunity was wasted.

It's good to rule the emperor, but no matter how good it is, it's dead, and the princess is the real road to officialdom.

At this moment, a person suddenly shouted, "The minister has something to say." ”

Zhang Ben's heart was cold, and he saw Wen Yuanjiong walking out slowly.

"Lord Wen, aren't you feeling unwell, why don't you go back and rest early. Zhang Ben said.

"Princess, the great god has been in the country for more than 300 years, and there has never been a heroine in the dynasty. ”

Zhang Ben roared: "Lord Wen, you are presumptuous, you have a fever and a stupid brain, during the Tianzheng period, it has always been the princess who helped the first emperor to regent, and you were the one who supported the public opinion at that time. ”

"Hongu saw that he was very sober. ”

Wen Yuanjiong glanced at Zhang Ben and said with a slight smile: "Lord Zhang, during the Tianzheng period, the ministers supported the princess regent because the emperor was still there, this time it was different, the emperor died and became the emperor's heir, this is the ethical outline, the cornerstone of the country's stability, and abandoning the son and setting up outsiders is the face of chaos." ”

"You say this palace is an outsider?"
