imprinted you in my heart

When the messenger said that the military report came from Beisha, the sinners who had gradually felt hopeless seemed to see hope. If what Yang Zhihong said was true, then the imperial court was now employing people, and their hopes would be much higher. One point, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness to put the envelope away without even looking at it.

"Gu is not a bloodthirsty person, but if you are not punished, the "Hua Law" will be in vain, so how can you make all the people submit to you?" Shi Min paused after speaking, and looked at the criminals, although they all lowered their heads , but the mind is quite different.

"Criminals deserve death" The criminals who feel like they are riding a roller coaster, those who still have a conscience are already ashamed and feel ashamed, their heads are lowered even lower, and those who want to survive are completely acting on the spot, no matter how good they are on the surface, their hearts It's unbearable to think about it.

Shi Min walked up the steps calmly and confidently, until he was sitting upright on the purple phoenix seat, he said: "Your behavior is undoubtedly treason, but I only see that you are being coerced, so I will be punished lightly. All officials will be dismissed and investigated, and will never be hired. The Ministry of Officials is responsible for confiscating all family properties, and the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment are jointly responsible. After three days, all offenders and their families will be dispatched to Yuxi. They will not leave unless ordered, and three generations of descendants will not be allowed to participate in the scientific examination. ".

"Thank you Your Highness for not killing." The criminals finally saved their lives. Most of the thanks came from their hearts, because they were afraid of death, otherwise their previous behavior would not have been so sloppy.

After a while, the criminal officials were all taken off their official hats and outer official uniforms by the inner guards and put them in prison.

Officials from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Punishment who were named "Weichen Zunzhi" stepped forward to salute and take orders.

"Your Highness is wise" under the leadership of the prince's young teacher Xuanyuan Mo, the remaining dozens of ministers saluted and shouted throughout the Chengtian Hall, until this moment they really surrendered to this young man who is independent and not bloodthirsty. Your benevolent prince.

Shi Min didn't get lost in these praises, but worriedly opened the secret letter she had hidden in her sleeve, and the ministers below all watched her actions solemnly.

Shi Min looked at half a stick of incense, and his face became more and more ugly. Finally, he covered his face with his sleeves and burst into tears. The letter fell on the ground and he didn't know it. Under Mo's instruction, Ji Chun picked it up and handed it to her.

Xuanyuanmo, who couldn't wait to receive the letters, had a very ugly expression after reading them. Thinking that it would take too much time to circulate them one by one, he simply read out the contents.

Shi Min, who was crying loudly, deliberately lowered her voice after hearing the teacher read the letter. Although she didn't say anything, everything in the hall was under her observation. As the contents of the letter continued to be read, the ministers Some were angry, some cursed softly, and a very few were as sad as Shi Min.

After Xuanyuanmo finished reading the letter, he went out to salute and asked, "The late emperor passed away, and he was actually killed by traitors. Please express your condolences to His Highness. Sikong Min colluded with Braque, killed His Majesty, supported the king as emperor, and disregarded the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers." , with a human face and a beast's heart, pretending to be a minister, please ascend the throne as soon as possible to rectify the world, and send troops to punish this traitor."

The urgent secret letter was sent by the provincial governor of Sanchuan Province. About eight days ago, the 30 troops assembled by His Majesty Shi Xuan finally arrived in Beisha. The [-] sergeants who arrived last had a day off.

Under Sikong's deliberate instigation, regardless of the objections of other ministers and generals, he launched a large-scale decisive counterattack against Braque. In the first two days, the momentum was indeed overwhelming, and all the lost ground was quickly regained, so that Shi Xuan was even more complacent.

With limited knowledge of Braque, without waiting for the army to rest, on the third day Shi Xuan led his troops to attack Braque directly.

In the melee at night, Shi Xuan was shot dead by an arrow. Sikong Jie took her body and the noble king under the desperate escort of tens of thousands of soldiers and finally managed to break through and return to Beisha. When the news of His Majesty's death spread like wildfire, On the second day, Sikong Chuang falsely preached an imperial decree to support His Royal Highness the noble king Shi Cun as the emperor, and quickly issued a letter to all provinces.

Shi Min guessed that it was on this day that Sikong gave Yang Zhihong the order to take down Fandu, so Yang Zhihong got the news one day earlier than her, and he started the next day after the preparation, that is, today.

The reason why it was Sanchuan who sent the secret letter, instead of Xisha and Dongsha, which are closer to Beisha

Sha, Wansha and Guzhangsheng are because these provinces have been fully controlled by Sikong for a long time. Since he supported the puppet emperor, he naturally surrendered to them.

However, with His Royal Highness the crown prince supervising the country in the court, coupled with Huaguo's expressly stipulated system of establishing chiefs, other provinces did not buy into Sikong's account, so the governor of Sanchuan, who was next to the old chapter, knew about it as soon as possible. Wrote a secret letter and sent it to the capital.

And immediately organized the provincial army to strictly guard the city, and the 30 troops assembled by Shi Xuan, in addition to the more than 2 lost in the battle with Braque, most of the more than [-] remnants who fled back after being ambushed were gathered by Sikong However, a small number of them became deserters. Sikong supported Shizhu as the empress, and [-] people fled to Sanchuan successively.

Join the Sanchuan garrison army, and if the Sikong army wants to attack Fandu, they have to go through Sanchuan or detour through Wansha, not to mention the detour to Wansha, and the military equipment and food must be transferred with the army on a large scale. It is not a wise choice. .

And Sikong is more cunning than a fox. Since he can collude with Braque and play Yang Zhihong's dark game to subvert Hua Dynasty's orthodoxy, he will definitely not choose Wansha's long-distance, time-consuming and labor-intensive path.

After the other ministers saw the invitation from the young master of the crown prince, His Highness never replied, but wept even harder, and they all saluted and reported in unison, "My condolences, Your Highness, please ascend the throne as soon as possible, so as to rectify the world, and crusade against rebels such as Sikong ".

Out of the hundreds of ministers in the entire hall, only the two ministers who chose to be with Shi Min and Shi Min cried for Shi Xuan's death. Although the other ministers looked sad, their eyes concealed joy.

Shi Min, who had calmed down slowly, was worried and irritable at this moment. She never thought that the pious Sikong would dare to risk the disgrace of the world and support the 12-year-old Shi Min as the puppet emperor. It's not over yet, and now the civil strife has broken out again, Shi Xuan is dead, leaving her in such a mess, she really has nothing to say.

For a moment, she had the urge to run away, but with this run, the task of saving the Sunset Xishan Empire would also disappear, and she would not live to be 40 years old, she was absolutely short-lived, but she I still want to live, I don't want to die so early.

While Shi Min was thinking, the two ministers who were crying also calmed down, and together with Xuanyuan Mo and the others, they frowned and thought hard about the countermeasures, otherwise, once the traitor Si Kongying attacked, they would also die without burial. place.

If she had just crossed over, Shi Min would not be sure about making her the emperor immediately, and it would very likely lead the entire country of Hua to the abyss, but after more than nine years of continuous learning and the earnest teaching of the emperor's grandmother , she is no longer Wuxia Amon, she tried her best, but the outcome is still unknown.

The reason why she was disturbed just now was because she did not expect to inherit the throne under such a sudden situation. According to the generally longer life expectancy here, Shi Xuan will have no problem living another 30 to 40 years. In the worst case, if she does not If other means are adopted, it may not be possible to succeed to the throne even if he lives to the age of [-].

Leaving aside, let’s just say that her mother in this life, Shi Xuan, did not ascend to the throne until she was almost 45 years old. Even if she was lucky, Shi Xuan only lived to be in her 60s, and she still had to wait for more than ten years. , she is now already, plus more than ten years, it is estimated that she will not be a few years away from 40 years old.

Wanting to save an empire that has sunk into the sky within a few years is tantamount to a dream, so when she first thought of this fact, she couldn't sleep well for a few days. Although Shi Xuan didn't like her, and she didn't like Shi Xuan, but the blood relationship After all, it's there.

Murdering her own mother is always treasonous, and she couldn't pass the test in her heart, so she left a bottom line in her heart. If she has no hope of succeeding to the throne at the age of 29, she will make another plan and be her invisible prince before then. Can.

So Shi Min, who never thought that Shi Xuan would die suddenly after just over three years in power, was at a loss and was not mentally prepared, so it is normal for him to be upset.

Since she doesn't want to be as short-lived as her previous life, she can only make up her mind to give it a go and fight for herself and the people of Huaguo, and her heart finally calms down. look at yourself.

"His Royal Highness, please mourn, ascend the throne as soon as possible, to rectify the world, and send troops to crusade against the rebels." Xuanyuan Mo and others played again, their voices were determined and mournful.

Shi Min, whose eyes were red and swollen and his voice was choked with sobs, finally opened his mouth: "My mother went out to fight for the country, and died in a foreign land. I was so lonely and grieved. The little one was just an ignorant child, but he was hijacked by the rebellious minister and thief Sikong to become the emperor. The eldest sister is alone. I have the responsibility of dereliction of duty in teaching." At this point, he stopped and wiped his eyes.

"Your Highness, please mourn, and ascend the throne as soon as possible." All the ministers

"Extraordinary times, special treatment. At this time of crisis, everything about enthronement is kept simple, and the Ministry of Rites is fully responsible. The sooner the better, the Ministry of Officials will verify the vacancies of Beijing officials as soon as possible, and draw up a list of nominations. [-] troops are going to Sanchuan to help defend, do you have a good plan for dispatching troops?"

"Weichen Zunzhi" was named by the ministers in the palace to take orders and then retreated. Those who have gone to work will be informed.

Xuanyuan Mo went out to salute and said: "I have this report. The rebel Sikong is afraid that he has colluded with Braque. The people who lead the battle this time are very important. I recommend the prince Shao Fu Gu Yunchou as the marshal and the prince Shao Fu Qiming as the vanguard." General, Qi Guihua, Deputy General of the Internal Forbidden Army, Mulan Yu, Deputy General of the Outer Forbidden Army, joined the army, and Shi Fengyou, the left deputy capital, supervised the army."

Seeing that he was not recommended, Wang Changwu, who had been looking forward to being useful, came out angrily and loudly recommended himself: "I recommend myself to go out with the army. For a martial arts practitioner, the highest honor is to return the body wrapped in horse leather. I implore Your Highness to do it."

The voice was already loud, but now it was deliberately louder, so that the entire Chengtian Palace was filled with Wang Changwu's rough voice.

"The minister has his own report. The enemy army is so large that only the [-] troops in Sanchuan and the [-] troops dispatched may be difficult to resist. We should dispatch an additional [-] troops from Qianshan and [-] troops from Wuchuan, and dispatch Daihe and Dan Zhong, Xiagu, and Siping each have [-] guards to defend Fandu." Xing An, Minister of the Ministry of War, reported in a report

"The minister has his own report, recommending Zuo Xuan, the deputy commander of the internal forbidden army, as the vanguard general." Zhao Chengfan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, frowned and came out to report.

Other ministers who had ideas also spoke out in an orderly manner, but because Shi Xuan had taken away most of the military generals in the court before, so most of the ministers had never heard of Shi Min recommended by the ministers. It seems that she will Officials who understand can't just be four-rank and above.

"The decree of the orphan is to seal the crown prince Shao Fu Gu Yunchou as the Grand Marshal of Zhengxi, the prince Shao Fu Qiming and Wang Changwu as the deputy marshals of Zhengxi, the deputy commander of the Internal Forbidden Army Zuo Xuan as the vanguard General Huaiyuan, the deputy general of the Internal Forbidden Army Qiguihua as the vanguard General Wuyi, and the foreign army. Mulanyu, the deputy general of the forbidden army, was the general of Wude who joined the army, and the left deputy, Du Yushi, was the supervisor of the army.

In addition, the Ministry of War issued a document to dispatch an additional [-] frontier troops from Qianshan and [-] from Wuchuan to help defend Sanchuan, and then dispatched [-] each to Daihe, Danzhong, Xiagu, and Siping to defend the capital." Finally, Shi Mi brainstormed and adopted what he thought was reasonable suggestion.

Gu Yunchou and the others were specially selected teachers for her by the emperor's grandmother Wu Zong. Their character, ability, experience and personality are naturally top-notch. To make meritorious deeds, but to protect the ideals and beliefs in his heart and the responsibility of being a minister of Huaguo, with their participation, Shi Min's heart also has a bottom line.

"(Wei) ministers and others obey the decree, thank Your Highness Long En" All the ministers who were named by Shi Min came out at the first time, but because she did not pause for a long time, it was only on the spot that they received the decree to thank each other. ?
