rebirth will be hard to find

As soon as the words of Yu Jia's personal conquest fell to the ground, several adults present shouted almost in unison: "Your Majesty, no!"

Chu Yi had expected this. After all, she had recently ascended the throne, her foundation was not stable, and there were so many people with different intentions in the capital, so she rashly left these people in Chujing and ran to the border by herself. Really unwise.

Sure enough, the next moment, Prime Minister Zhang frowned and said: "It's not a trivial matter for the imperial conquest. Besides, the current situation in the court is unstable, and there is no suitable person to oversee the country. If His Majesty does not stay in Beijing to stabilize the situation, the court may be in danger." Messed up."

Chu Yi thought for a while, then shook his head slightly and said: "I know the affairs of the court, as long as the prime minister and you can handle the government affairs properly, I will make arrangements for other matters. I still have to go to Beizhou, Yan Guo The whole country came prepared to invade, and Qi Yang couldn't defend it. It's not easy to march in this freezing weather, and the reinforcements may be delayed. If I go, they will naturally go faster. "

This is true, the emperor has already gone to the front, how dare the soldier dare to procrastinate behind?However, if it is necessary to risk oneself because of this, in the eyes of everyone, the gain is not worth the loss, so everyone's face clearly expresses their disapproval.

Chu Yi was not annoyed, and continued: "When I first ascended the throne, many people in the court were dissatisfied, and other countries also regarded me as a bully. The country of Yan was warlike, so it fought first regardless of the severe winter, but except for the country of Yan, the west There is still Hou Qi, if we can't suppress Yan State in one fell swoop before the beginning of spring, Hou Qi will probably follow suit. At that time, Chu State will be attacked from the front and rear, and the situation may really be out of control."

"This..." Several people in the imperial study hesitated, because what Chu Yi said was indeed very possible.Maybe the Yan State has already sent envoys to Hou Qi to discuss the alliance. If the two countries join forces, even if the Chu State is not destroyed, it will definitely be hurt.

Chu Yi didn't give a few people time to hesitate, and immediately said: "I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me." After she finished speaking, she paused, and then added: "How about the ambitions of the kings? A battle of the whole country The victory is enough to stabilize my throne."

At this moment, the young emperor's eyes shone brightly, confident and proud.

After all, Zhang Cheng and the others did not persuade them anymore, and several people got together and began to discuss how to dispatch troops and generals, and how to collect money and food.This time, even Qi Shangshu, who was like an iron rooster, didn't bargain any more, and only wanted to arrange all the matters properly.

Three days later, the Beizhou Babaili urgent army reported to Beijing.

Qishan Pass fell, Beizhou Army lost [-] troops, Qiyang retreated to Yanyang City, during which three cities and seven towns were almost handed over to Yan State.Everyone in the court was shocked, but at the same time that the ministers were discussing the matter of increasing troops, someone proposed to remove Qi Yang and punish him at this juncture.

The faces of half of the ministers in the court were dark at that time, and changing generals before the battle is a taboo, not to mention that in the court, basically no one can match Qi Yang in terms of good defense, and now it is such an urgent situation. when.But the strange thing is that such a point of view has been supported by many people, nearly one-third of the people in the court requested that Qi Yang be punished.

"Qi Yang was defeated and left without a fight. How can someone who is so afraid of war be considered a general?! What's more, His Majesty recently ascended the throne, and Chu State lost land one after another. What do the people think of this? How does the historian write?! Please dismiss the general who suppressed the army. Escort him back to Beijing and discuss his crimes of defeat and fear of war." A gray-haired veteran stood in the center of the Xuanzheng Hall and spoke eloquently, his face full of indignation and righteousness.

After hearing what he said, Chu Yi was so angry that he almost couldn't help calling the Yulin army to drag him away!Not because of his seeming confusion, but actually full of inciting remarks, but because of the wolfish ambitions of him and those behind him—they can’t see the crisis of Chu State, but only see the magnificence of the throne, even if they know it well. With the possible consequences of replacing Qi Yang, I also want to take the opportunity to pull her down from the throne first!

Sitting high on the dragon chair, the empress's face sank like water, and she silently remembered all the people who seconded her in her heart.Naturally, she would not be soft on things like settling accounts after autumn, anyway, Chu Zhao left enough people to fill the possible vacancies in the court.

Without looking at the old minister again, Chu Yi spoke up and said the decision that had been negotiated a long time ago: "There is a war at the border, and I want to fight by myself."

All the ministers were taken aback when they heard the words, and many looked up at Prime Minister Zhang and the six ministers, only to find that they all looked like they were watching their eyes, their noses, their noses, their noses, their noses, their noses, and their hearts.The people of the kings did not sing against it this time. The court, which should have been arguing and dissuading, became strangely quiet at this moment, and then everyone acquiesced to Chu Yi's decision.

Chu Yi sneered in his heart, said nothing, and walked away.

*******************************************************************************

Ever since Chu Yi forcibly squeezed him out from the position of supervisor in the Xuanzheng Palace that day, Chu Ye has lived a leisurely life of reciting poems, composing poems and admiring the flowers and the moon, and he doesn't even go to the morning court very often.

This kind of life lasted for more than a month, and even if he was detained in Beijing by Chu Zhaoyi's decree and could not go back to the fiefdom, he still looked leisurely and unhurried.In terms of patience, no one can match him. He could endure for 20 years before, so it doesn't matter to wait now.Both Emperor Yanping and Chu Zhao were boiled to death by him, how could he still be afraid of a bratty girl?

Chu Ye knew that his previous actions must have exposed his ambitions, but he thought he had done everything well, so he definitely had no excuses for Chu Yi to make excuses for.Chu Yi had just ascended the throne, and his throne was not yet stable, so he naturally couldn't attack the emperor's uncle for no reason, so he stayed at his mansion in the capital to cultivate his body and wait for the opportunity.

Sure enough, he didn't make him wait long, and this opportunity appeared.

Yan Guo is ambitious, of course Chu Ye knows it.But even seeking skin from a tiger is better than having nothing, so Chu Ye got in touch with Prince Yan two years ago, just waiting for the right time to create a chance for him to ascend the throne.

And right now, this opportunity has come, even though the Yan State had not communicated with him before that.

The entire country of Yan invaded aggressively, and the young empress thought she was high-spirited, but she actually planned to conquest in person.Of course he wouldn't stop this kind of thing. It would be best if Chu Yi could die in Beizhou, even if he didn't, he didn't believe that the yellow-haired girl would have the ability to turn things around.What's more, once this person left, the capital would be empty, and the scope of operations would be larger. A battle would last for three to five years, and the shortest would be several months, which was enough for him to arrange a lot.

There are not a few people who have the same plan as the King of Yue. How many of the vassal kings detained by Chu Zhao in the capital can be willing?Their power in the court is not great, but together they should not be underestimated, so it also created a situation where no one persuaded the court that morning.

This situation is embarrassing, but so what?The young emperor had already made a decision, and he had no intention of changing it. He just waited for the army near Chujing to gather, and then led his troops northward.

The days that followed were peaceful, and everyone was waiting for Chu Yi to leave Beijing.

Chu Yi seemed to have forgotten that there are so many vassal kings in Chujing who are watching. She didn't deal with these people, neither released them back to the fief, nor guarded them, but ignored them.A few days later, Yuan Shangshu of the Ministry of War told her that the troops near Chujing had been assembled, and the rest of the troops had to join up on the way. Without further ado, she set the date of the expedition for the next day.

It's no wonder that Chu Yi was so anxious, just when the Ministry of War dispatched troops, a letter of urgent battle report flew into Chujing from Beizhou like snowflakes.The people in Chujing can see messenger soldiers with flags on their backs rushing into the capital every day, and then the news of the war in Beizhou spread like wildfire. suppressed.

The news in the battle report is not very good, and there are almost no good news.The Yan State sent 60 troops to suppress the border, Qi Yang only had 20 soldiers and horses, and after being attacked by surprise at the beginning and losing nearly 8 people, he became more and more stretched.Under such circumstances, even if he is full of wisdom and unparalleled bravery, it is impossible for him to please Yan Jun.

Chu Yi has seen the current situation in Beizhou with his own eyes. Most of the people in Yanyang City have evacuated, and the rest have also gone to the top of the city to help defend the city.But even so, the depression and depression all over the city showed the tragedy of the battlefield all the time.

Qi Yang has tried his best, but before reinforcements arrive, he can't hold out for long.

Once Qishan Pass was lost, Qi Yang retreated to defend Yanyang City and had already given up three cities and seven towns. If he retreated again, although Yanyang City had a steep terrain to rely on, but repeated defeats would inevitably fluctuate the morale of the army.And if Yanyang City is also lost, the Yan army will use this as a base to slowly move south, and the situation will be even more ugly.Moreover, Yanyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to take it back later, you will have to pay a higher price.

Qi Yang is very aware of this, and he has already received the urgent news that the reinforcements are on the way at eight hundred miles - so he gritted his teeth even more, as long as the group of troops closest to Beizhou arrives, the pressure will be overwhelming. Can reduce a lot.

Yanyang City is using human lives to carry it, so naturally Chu Yi can't delay.After resolutely handling the affairs, she put on her battle armor and set off from Chujing with the [-] troops mobilized, heading towards Beizhou.

On the day of Chu Yi's expedition, light snowflakes fluttered in the sky, and the white snowflakes fell on the cold armor, adding a bit of chill and chill.

To be honest, it is really not a pleasant thing to go out to fight in such weather, but when His Majesty the Emperor is wearing a suit of armor and leading the way on horseback, then all complaints can be swallowed back.Even because of the existence of that person, the entire army was in high spirits. Even in such harsh weather, the march was not a little slower than usual.

The army of Yujia personally set out from Chujing, and gradually moved away, turning from a long dragon into a black spot, and then completely disappeared into the distance, leaving only in the middle of the capital with mixed feelings.
