The 27th year of Baiyue, the beginning of the year.

After Jiang Sanyan and Qian Xiaoqiao arrived in the capital, they immediately visited Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, and then learned from Mr. Li Xiangye, who had just come down to the imperial court, that the Holy Majesty sent a large number of troops, and the situation of fighting more and fighting less was unimportant to anyone. He won the game, but who knows that he lost the army and lost the general, and suffered a defeat.

Rumors once again spread crazily, spreading across Baiyue with the momentum of a single spark, and the officials barely maintained the situation, but the court was shaken by a secret report: the emperor was seriously injured.

A month ago, the southern border.

Seeing that the new year was about to come, the [-] troops in the southern border did not dare to slack off at all. In previous years, the barbarians became more violent at this time.The winter is cold and freezing, which is when they lack supplies, and the way to replenish supplies is to rely on burning, killing and looting on the border of Baiyue.

Zhou Qibei sat here to guard the rear for half a month, and his ambitions when he came were gradually worn away, leaving only resentment and impatience: "A bunch of idiots, what use do I want you, a hundred thousand troops are defeated by thirty thousand barbarians all day Playing around and around, when will I be able to win the army."

He wanted to return to the imperial court as soon as possible, but under such rumors, he went back in despair without winning a battle. Wouldn't it be in response to the rumors released by those rebels, Ziwei Nova, the salvation of all people, the incompetence of the emperor, and the return of the country? phoenix.

Heh, what an emperor star is incompetent.Zhou Qibei repeated these words in his heart, and the anger on his face became more and more intense. He turned his head to look at the person kneeling on the ground, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Go to fight, I want to go into battle and compete with the barbarians."

"It is absolutely impossible, Your Majesty, please take it back." General Miao and several lieutenants kowtowed firmly after hearing the words, not to mention whether the barbarians would fight, the situation on this battlefield is changing rapidly, if the emperor has Any mistake is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country, and none of them can afford this responsibility.

"My will has been decided. The leader of the imperial army will stay, and the rest will retreat." The anger on Zhou Qibei's face was gone, replaced by ambitious calculations.

After everyone retreated, he glanced at Li Zhu's back, beckoned for the leader of the imperial army to come forward, gave some instructions in a low voice, and then smiled with confidence.

On the other side, the barbarians who received the letter of war responded immediately. Although they only had [-] cavalry, they were all elites. As long as they were led out of the city, the complex terrain in the southern border would be their home field.

After the barbarians made a battle plan, they finally selected the most conservative one. The Emperor Baiyue was young, but his ambition was not small. After trying it out in a short period of time, they also saw that the young emperor was a bit eager for success. Holly, that's easy to handle.

On the day when the two armies faced each other, Li Zhu was taken to the military tent by the leader of the Forbidden Army. After listening to the so-called dictation from the Holy Master, he was stripped of his outer robe and changed into a set of bright yellow dragon robes, which were tested for size.

It turned out that the countermeasure that Zhou Qibei came up with that day was Li Daitao's strategy of stiffening. When he showed his face in front of the battle, he took off his dragon robe and sneaked into the imperial army, and quietly returned to the city.

Then Li Zhu was asked to put on a dragon robe, and the imperial guards surrounded the emperor, keeping a distance from the soldiers. No one knew that the emperor had returned to the city safely.If they win at that time, let the forbidden army guard Li Zhu and go back to the city directly, and then change their identity.If there is any mistake, others dare not say anything, the most important thing is that he, the real dragon emperor, can do nothing.

Everything was as Zhou Qibei thought, after showing his face, he returned to the imperial army, took off his dragon robe, and ordered Li Zhu to stand on top.He took a few confidants and returned to the city under the guise of the emperor's order.

However, he did all his calculations, but he did not expect that the soldiers guarding the city gate would not open the door: "The general said that this battle saint will go to battle in person, and no soldier can retreat. This city gate will never be opened until the battle is over."

Zhou Qibei: "..." I've worked so hard to plan, but you didn't open the city gate, he was so angry that he vomited blood under the city gate, what kind of waist plate was given by the emperor, all the sacred handbooks were taken out, and the people on the city gate still didn't move. In the end, they suspected that their pedestrians were deserters and wanted to shoot arrows to kill them.

So, they had no choice but to return to the battlefield. Fortunately, they won the first battle and the enemy fled. Zhou Qibei saw the barbarians throwing away their helmets and armor and their flags, so he sent an order to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop.

"Your Majesty, don't chase after poor bandits, be careful of deceit." General Miao called out loudly from the perimeter of the imperial army, but Zhou Qibei was not wearing a dragon robe now, so he avoided seeing him, and he was greedy for the achievement he had achieved, so he ignored him at all.

He has an army of one hundred thousand, is he afraid of satisfying twenty or thirty thousand remnants and defeated generals?Even if there is an ambush, they are not afraid, even if half of the [-] troops are lost, they will completely wipe out the enemy.

The sacred order was hard to disobey, so General Miao Jiang had no choice but to obey it and led the army to pursue it. Even though various ambushes were encountered along the way, Zhou Qibei still let him chase. Losing tens of thousands of soldiers was not a problem at all.

Half a day passed, and the marching route became longer and longer. The 10-strong team became more and more scattered in the rugged mountains and forests. The Imperial Army still protected Zhou Qibei and deliberately walked behind.

When passing through a canyon, many huge rocks suddenly rolled down the road ahead, which happened to trap thousands of soldiers and imperial troops behind.

Zhou Qibei looked at the soldiers in front of him, and suddenly felt uneasy. After half a quarter of an hour, when he saw the barbarian cavalry suddenly appearing from the rear and sides, he realized where his uneasiness came from.

"Escort, escort quickly." He shouted loudly, and was surrounded by the imperial guards round after round.

Li Zhu, who was instantly abandoned: "...", and the fierce generals of the barbarians who came to rob the emperor rushed in front of the imperial army, and saw the emperor wearing a dragon robe was isolated outside, and the imperial guards who were in charge of guarding surrounded him. one person.

The barbarian generals subconsciously stopped for a moment, and when they realized it, they frantically headed towards Zhou Qibei. Their goal in this battle was to take away the emperor of Baiyue, and then use this most expensive bargaining chip to coerce him into exchanging it with a city.

The abacus was well calculated, but General Miao would have led the army to turn around after learning that the mountain road was blocked, which made the barbarian's bamboo basket fetch water in vain.

Although the emperor was not taken captive, his identity was exposed due to improper guarding by the imperial guards. Seeing that the captivity was unsuccessful, the enemy made a killing move. Before retreating, they shot back with a carbine and shot a sharp arrow into Zhou Qibei's chest precisely. .

In the prime minister's mansion, Li Kai felt a little relieved when he told the news of the imperial court's blockade. He analyzed with relief and melancholy on his face: "Your Majesty is afraid that things will be more dangerous than good."

The court only knew that the emperor was seriously injured, but he didn't know the reason. He could know so clearly, thanks to the family letter that came with the urgent report. city.

Jiang Sanyan was silent. Although she aspired to be a loyal and patriotic person, the current Holy Majesty is really hard to say.Fortunately, Li Zhu was safe and sound, so she felt at ease.

However, on the second day after this peace of mind was put down, news came from the southern border that Li Zhu was missing and whereabouts were unknown.Immediately afterwards, within three days, there was another urgent report from the front: Zhou Qibei died of serious injuries, and the whole country died.

In the court hall, the two prime ministers and the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army jointly requested the imperial edict issued by Zhou Qibei before his expedition: If I am in the way, the dragon son born in the womb of the imperial concubine will be the new emperor, and Yun Song will be named the empress dowager, and the court will listen to the government , There will be two more prime ministers to assist the government. After the new emperor is weak, he will be responsible for returning to the court.

As soon as the content of the edict was announced, the court was in an uproar. The first to raise objections were the mother families of the concubines in the harem, especially those who had already conceived children.

"According to the previous emperor's order, the [-] forbidden troops in the capital are only loyal to the emperor and the imperial edict. Anyone who disobeys the imperial edict or the holy order will be executed!" up.

With two prime ministers testifying and the chief of the imperial army watching, their little thoughts had to be put away.There is a saying that a country cannot be without a king for a day. After discussing for a while, all the ministers knelt down and asked the newly appointed Empress Dowager Yun to come to court. After all, the southern border is still in chaos, and a lot of problems need to be solved, such as the emperor's spiritual position and posthumous title.

However, after repeated invitations, a new problem occurred in the harem, and Yun Song disappeared. After some questioning, it was learned that she had quietly gone to the southern border.

"When did the Empress Dowager leave the palace?"

"Three days ago."

"What should I do? The Empress Dowager must be worried about Your Majesty, but... But Your Majesty has already... Hey, the new emperor is only three months old, what should I do if something goes wrong."

Li Kai looked at the anxious ministers, his eyes flashed, three days ago was the day when the news of Li Zhu's disappearance came, and before his daughter went to the expedition, he had already told the whole story, he remembered what his old friend said in the letter, and his face was calm .

Empress Dowager Yun's trip is bound to be a big victory, and even wiped out more than half of the enemy's army, forcing the barbarians to bow their heads and surrender. At that time, a new dynasty will come, and he only needs to take care of his own affairs, and he can sit back and relax.

In the southern border, Yun Song walked slowly because she was worried about being pregnant. On the way, she learned about Zhou Qibei's death. The news arrived that the Empress Dowager supervised the country.

"Your Majesty!" After a cry of grief, Empress Dowager Yun knelt for a long time before standing up with her grief. She turned and looked at the soldiers behind her: "Who was the last person to see the military advisor?"

After some torture, the little leader of the Forbidden Army who was in charge of escorting this time was pointed out.

He knelt down on the ground, lowered his head, and explained to himself: "The humble position was ordered by the late emperor to discuss important matters with Li Junshi, so he sent someone to invite her out of the camp, but the imperial army sent out did not come back, and the humble position did not see the military division. Please empress dowager..."

"The empress dowager calms down, the empress dowager calms down..."

The generals present knelt down one after another, and some even trembled uncontrollably. After all, the little leader of the imperial army who was still replying just now had moved his head.

Yun Ri held the long sword in her hand, the blood on the sword was still dripping, she raised her head, besides anger, there was also deep sorrow on Mingyan's face: "As an imperial army, I couldn't protect the safety of the late emperor, and even pretended to kill the emperor under the guise of the emperor's order." It is not a pity to die as a military division.

According to the order of Ai's family, he ordered the lone scouts to go deep into the old nest of the barbarians. If they were not found, they would leave some traces on purpose. "

After everyone dispersed, the long sword in her hand fell to the ground, and she collapsed on the ground with a tremor. She should have expected, how could Zhou Qibei let Li Zhu survive, her heart... her heart was alive like this It was gouged out.

Empress Dowager..., Imperial Physician, quickly pass on the Imperial Physician. "
