The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 913
"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict said..."

"Today's Northwest, there are barbarians who are aggressive and peeking at the turmoil in China, so they take advantage of the difficulties and steal the Central Plains. Clothes are changed into dogs and sheep, and the mountains and rivers are reduced to the Rong and Di. All flesh and blood will grieve their teeth at the West Barbarians!"

"I advocate righteousness in the name of heaven, and punish the people for my crimes..."

On the imperial steps of Huangji Gate, Huo An read the imperial decree loudly, and hundreds of officials below knelt to listen.

It is said to be an imperial edict, but in essence, it is actually a crusade.

In the imperial edict, it clearly described to the world what kind of crisis the Great Jin is currently facing, and its purpose is to call on the whole country to unite and fight against foreign enemies.

Even the emperor has personally conscripted, even if you don't intend to help, at least you can't add to the chaos, right!

Even if someone wants to take the opportunity to report something, I'm afraid others will persuade him to consider what kind of catastrophe it will cause in the end.

The imperial edict was not too long, nor did it have much embellishment, so Huo An finished reading it in a few minutes.

This is an imperial edict for the whole country. Thousands of copies have been printed in advance and will be sent to all parts of the country.

When Huo An stepped back, Zhao Yanxun cleared his throat and said calmly, "Your honor is welcome!"

With his words, everyone in the square stood up.

"The country is in danger and the country is in ruins. As a father, how can I sit idly by? So I sent my troops to the northwest and refused to keep the barbarians from outside the Great Wall..."

"In my Great Jin Dynasty, there are hundreds of thousands of Li people, hundreds of thousands of armored warriors, and humerus officials in the court..."

"That's why I will win this battle!"

After Zhao Yanxun gave a generous speech, the grand court meeting ended.

The emperor's personal conquest has been leaked recently, so the courtiers are not surprised.

After retiring from the court, what they talked about the most was about the current situation in the Northwest.

Unlike the previous hundred or even thousand years, these barbarians came to occupy the magpie's nest, not just looting like the Xiongnu.

In other words, the situation between the Jin Dynasty and the Ximan was already in an endless situation, and there was no possibility of surrender at all.

"According to my colleagues in the Ministry of War, I'm afraid that within two months, the monsters in Tianshan County will be empty... The war is imminent!"

After the dynasty was over, the officials walked outside the palace walls and discussed matters related to the northwest.

"If the Western Man's 70 troops attack with all their strength, can I really stop it from...?"

"That's right... In addition to the recently deployed guards, there are only [-] or [-] capable soldiers in the Northwest, and there is a huge difference in the strength of the enemy and us!"

After hearing the last sentence, everyone at the scene fell silent, and many of them felt pessimistic.

"I heard that a few days ago, the Imperial Army and the Northwest Governor's Office were having trouble. This is really..."

This sentence made everyone present feel even more pessimistic and panicked.

At this moment, someone said: "Everyone... the emperor personally supervised the battle, the soldiers, the soldiers and the people should be united as one, the Western Man is no more than a chicken and a dog!"

"Your Majesty Hu is right. The emperor was born with the mandate of heaven. Since the beginning of the army, there has been no harm. Ghosts, traitors, rebels, rebels, and national thieves are all defeated!"

"Nowadays, Ximan is beyond his control. Trying to use brute force to touch the power of heaven is tantamount to seeking his own death. When the emperor arrives, they will be wiped out!"

These words were spoken so impassionedly, showing the pride of the young people in pointing the country and inspiring the writing.

Of the two people who spoke just now, the former was a minister in the hidden mansion of King Yong's mansion, and the latter was a Jinshi admitted in this year's scientific examination.

"You two are right. Your Majesty is a sage descended from heaven. His divine power is unpredictable. He is just a barbarian and a clown!"

The new person who appeared was a student of the Imperial Academy who became an official, and was bestowed by Zhao Yanxun as a fellow Jinshi, so he can be regarded as a serious imperial party.

Although his words meant "kneeling and licking", the four words "unfathomable divine power" he mentioned made everyone present deep in thought.

Those food weapons and armor that appeared for no reason, those unpredictable miracles all showed the sanctity of the current emperor.

Reminiscent of the crushing situation of Zhao Yanxun's cavalry before, many people who were originally pessimistic now had hope in their hearts.

"Heaven will not stop my great Jinjiangshan, God bless me with billions of billions of people in Shenzhou..." Someone couldn't help saying.

Immediately afterwards, the person turned to face the palace gate, and then knelt down to worship.

For a while, everyone slowly regained their confidence, and this confidence was given by Zhao Yanxun.

At this moment, Yu Chengyao, a member of the household department, walked out. He was a serious imperial party official and an official Zhao Yanxun trusted very much.

"Everyone, the emperor has just made it clear that we should perform our duties more conscientiously in the rear, so that the soldiers in the front can fight with peace of mind..."

Yu Chengyao cupped his hands and said to the crowd: "A king treats his ministers like brothers and sisters, but a minister treats him like a confidant. Now the emperor regards the princes as humerus, and the princes will never fail to live up to the emperor's grace!"

Hearing this, anyone who was not stupid at the scene knew that it was time to make a statement.

"We will fulfill our duty and be loyal to the emperor!"

To be honest, for the emperor Zhao Yanxun, it is very complicated to talk about officials.

On the one hand, in this dangerous and chaotic era, based on Mu Qiang's psychology, a strong emperor like Zhao Yanxun made them feel safe.

But on the other hand, Zhao Yanxun's "indifferent" attitude towards officials and scholar-bureaucrats with the butcher knife made officials fear him.

Under such contradictory psychology, they always feel awkward, but they can't quit the game to seek relief.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and with the release of the imperial edict, the entire capital knew the news that the emperor wanted to conscript himself.

In order to protect the safety of the people of Li, His Majesty the Emperor will lead an army of 10,000+ to fight with satisfaction in the bitter cold of the northwest.

Under such propaganda, Zhao Yanxun, who was already extremely prestigious, further won the hearts of the people.

Presumably, as the imperial edict is spread across the country, he will be respected by the people of the whole country, which can also restrain the ambitions of some people.

On the fifth day of November, today is the day when Zhao Yanxun set off to go north.

At this moment, he was eating his last breakfast before leaving.

Going to the northwest, it stands to reason that he shouldn't bring his concubines, but he is the emperor after all, so someone has to take care of him.

Under the strong insistence of the queen mother, Zhao Yanxun had to compromise and agreed to take his concubine to the northwest.

Xue Linhuang and the other three wanted to raise the prince and princess, and Hou Shiyun and Zhou Lanzhi were pregnant, so the five of them would definitely not be able to go.

Excluding Tiya, who was born in the Huns, under the proper arrangement of the queen mother, Zhang Fengxiu and other four concubines will go north with Zhao Yanxun.

For this breakfast, the Empress Dowager and all the concubines were there, even Zhao Yanxun's three children were there, it was a serious family banquet.

At the dinner table, Zhao Yanxun was calm and calm, but Cao Miaoyin repeatedly urged, the content involved all aspects of basic necessities of life...

It didn't take long to have breakfast, and finally after Zhao Yanxun said goodbye to his family, Zhao Yanxun walked out of the palace gate under mostly reluctant eyes.

The army has already gone to the northwest one after another, there will be no vigorous swearing-in meeting, Zhao Yanxun will only bring five hundred guards northward.

When Zhao Yanxun, who was in armor, walked out of Huangji Gate, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides of the royal road, and when the emperor appeared, everyone knelt down.

"The emperor is all victorious..."

"The emperor is all victorious..."

In the life-and-death struggle between the two clans, the hope lies with the emperor alone, and the officials just shouted this.

Walk out of the palace gate and ride the horse forward.

Although the streets have been under martial law by soldiers, officers and soldiers, there are still countless people lying on the side of the street, bidding farewell to the emperor who is extremely sacred in their hearts.

Arriving at the Zhengyang Gate of the capital, there was already a large number of soldiers lined up. These were all soldiers from the five cities, and they also came to send the emperor off.

Thousand households of the guards of the Wucheng Bingma Division stood solemnly on both sides of the city gate. Seeing Zhao Yanxun appearing on horseback, the officers knelt down and bid farewell.

The soldiers knelt down too, many of them annoyed that they could not fight with the emperor.

When Zhao Yanxun went out of the city with his bodyguards, he only heard the sound of "Long live" coming from behind, and his posture was getting bigger and bigger.

"drive……"

Outside the capital, Zhao Yanxun and his party rode horses and galloped, and quickly disappeared on the official road.
