Princess Zheng Guo could tell that within three days, the emperor would drive to Qixia Temple to invite the queen out of the mountain, which was obviously wishful thinking on her part. **The emperor was built on horseback, and it took a lot of trouble to pass it on to Emperor Hongxi. In other words, there are internal and external troubles nowadays, but of course there are many people who can command the seal .

General Jin Wu is the commander of the right, and he is in charge of the seal. General Longhu is the commander of the left.The news of success came frequently, and Emperor Hongxi stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, looking north at the mountains and rivers, feeling elated.

"I will serve you with pen and ink. I will personally write a letter to the queen to report the good news to her." Then I thought about why I had to report to the queen, as if I had become a servant under her skirt. "Forget it, Wang Desheng, you go to Qixia Temple yourself, tell the queen the good news, and say that I will visit her when I have time."

After speaking, he walked down the steps like flying.He has been busy with official duties recently, so he can take a breather. If His Majesty wants to breathe some fresh air, the best place to go is the harem.

When the empress was in the harem before, he was too embarrassed to look at other concubines, not because the empress was jealous, but because the empress was so kind that he couldn't find a reason to mess around.Later, he favored Concubine Yuan Gui, and even caused a bad incident, which made him feel even more sorry.The queen was probably annoyed with him, even though she didn't say anything, she went to Qixia Temple to recuperate, and didn't think of coming back for a while.In the beginning, he wrote letters every day to express his love, and the empress would reply occasionally, but most of them would just say one thing, or they didn't reply at all, and only asked the eunuch to reply.Later, there were many troubles in the court, and I lost my mood. Later, the three thousand beauties explained their words like flowers, and the queen who was far away in Qixia Temple seemed to be dispensable.

If the queen doesn't go back to the palace, he is willing to condescend to see the queen. After many years of husband and wife, it is not once or twice that they bowed their heads in front of her. It's just that something unpleasant happened to him when he went to Qixia Temple that day. Forget it, now he I don't want to recall that incident, which caused him to have a big fight with the queen and his wife.It was after that time that he no longer went to Qixia Temple, and the frequency of writing letters was greatly reduced.

In the more than a year since the empress went to Qixia Temple, he had a beloved concubine Hui, and he will welcome another heir. This child is very likely to be crowned the top and become the future ruler of the empire.Thinking in this way, Emperor Hongxi came to Changle Palace to see Concubine Hui Su Jingxian.

Concubine Hui has the vigor and resoluteness of a queen, and also has a bit of a daughter's willfulness. Compared with the previous Concubine Yuan Gui, I don't know how much more interesting. He is also obsessed with ghosts, and he likes Concubine Yuan Gui who is as boring as wood.Maybe when the South and the North were fighting, the queen beside her was not a wife but a colleague. At first sight of the delicate and helpless daughter's family, all kinds of tenderness came to my heart, so I fell in love with her so much, and even made a big mistake, almost at the same time Lost two children.

Seeing that Concubine Hui was pregnant with Liujia, but she was still smart and cute, and ordered the palace staff to clean Shujing Palace, Emperor Hongxi was very happy.

Seeing His Majesty's sudden visit, the eunuch and maid knelt in a circle.

Quickly helped up the concubine who was saluting, the emperor said softly: "You are inconvenient, so don't salute."

"It's inconvenient, the concubine knows it, it's just a salute, there's nothing inconvenient about it." Concubine Hui's face was slightly plump, but her beauty didn't lose half, it was nothing more than a transformation from Xi Shi to Concubine Yang.

"Did the imperial doctor come to see you?"

"I asked for the Ping An pulse every day, and the imperial doctor said that the fetus in the womb is healthy, and the mother and child will be safe when they give birth in the future."

"Very good, very good."

After the two had a conversation, Concubine Hui ordered someone to serve the freshly made ebony soup. In late spring, the weather has been fine and the weather is already a bit hot. "These are two young girls who have just entered the palace. They were selected from the concubines and mother families. Does the emperor look smart?"

The emperor looked up and saw that the two girls were only about fifteen or sixteen years old. Concubine Hui didn't let them wear the clothes of court ladies, but dressed like ordinary girls, with their hair simply tied in a bun and plain clothes on their temples. The pearl flower looks innocent, charming and lovely.

"You can just use it if you think it's clever, but what do you want me to do?" the emperor asked knowingly.

"There are three thousand beauties in the harem, but few of them are worthy of the emperor's attention. The concubines are not in good condition these days, and they really cannot be favored. Thinking that the emperor has taken care of all kinds of opportunities in the past, and it is said that there is another war in the north, the concubines want to take care of them. To share the emperor's worries, so I have the courage to present the two younger sisters to the emperor. If the emperor says he doesn't like it, it will really waste all the painstaking efforts of the concubine and hurt the sincerity of the concubine."

The emperor pretended to be angry and gave her a blank look, but he was still happy in his heart. It was not that he took a fancy to these two young and beautiful girls. What he really felt was that Concubine Hui was really a beautiful flower of interpretation. Well, she will definitely not be jealous of other women in the harem, no, she even took the initiative to present herself with beauties.

The emperor stayed in Changle Palace that night, and came to the court early the next morning, and there was no battle report from the front line.

On the second night, the emperor stayed in Changle Palace again, and there was still no battle report from the front line.

This is still the case on the third, fourth and fifth days.

The emperor felt that something was wrong, but since there was no battle report from the front line, no news was good news. The Liao king was rebelling, and he did not have as many soldiers and horses as he did.Even if he loses, he can afford to lose once or twice.

Until one late night twenty days later, the spies came to report outside the Hanmeng Garden of Changle Palace with a golden token in their hands. The eunuchs trotted all the way behind and were out of breath.

"Report, hurry up for eight hundred miles, the rebels of the King of Liao have acted recklessly, and the rebels have conquered Tongzhou."

The emperor woke up from his spring dream, his clothes were disheveled, with beauties on his left and right sides, he thought: "I am like this, I am probably the faint emperor written in the history books!"

"Report, the rebels have conquered Jianzhou, Bei'an, Tanzhou, and Shunzhou."

"Report, the rebel army has broken through Yingtian Mansion, taken Xinyang Road directly, conquered Chaozhou, Mozhou, Yingzhou, Dingzhou, General Dragon and Tiger... died heroically for the country."

Along with the three military newspapers, the emperor stood up in his clothes and ordered the cabinet, the three ministers of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry, as well as the servants, to enter the palace immediately to have an audience without any mistakes.When he arrived at the meeting hall, the cabinet scholars had just arrived, and the ministers and ministers had not yet arrived.

The emperor waved his hand to signal that there was no need to salute, "I just received three military reports in a row, and the situation has taken a turn for the worse. Who knows where the rebels are now?"

The ministers looked at each other.

"Is General Jinwu still alive?" the emperor asked weakly holding back his anger.

"General Jinwu has surrendered..." The Secretary of the Ministry of War replied tremblingly.

"Surrendered or betrayed?" There are still differences in degrees.

"You surrendered the king of Liao, you betrayed the emperor. You are a coward, you are ungrateful!"

"why……"

The chief assistant of the cabinet said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Emperor Huiwen is at the Liao King's side..." Seeing the emperor's face changed drastically, he hurriedly lowered his head, "I just heard that, but I haven't checked yet, the minister has already sent his cronies to investigate. "

"Investigate what a fart! From the first year of Jiankang to the fourth year of Hongxi, if you want to investigate, you should have found it earlier. Why is Emperor Huiwen appearing now!"

It was not unreasonable for the emperor to be furious. The embarrassing status of Emperor Huiwen in his mouth was the grandson of Grandpa. The son has always brought his posthumous grandson with him, taught him personally, cared for him carefully, and finally passed the throne to his grandson.It's just that the little emperor was only 14 years old when he came to the throne. After all, he was young. Although the princes and uncles were sent to the frontiers, confiscated and seized military power, they still coveted the throne if they couldn't stand it.

The King of Qin couldn't sit still anymore, he was also a direct descendant, with great military exploits and loyalty, his own father didn't want to pass the throne to him, but gave it to a kid, he was not convinced.

King Qin rebelled before arriving in the fiefdom, turned his chariot and horse back to the capital, and wanted to take back everything that should belong to him.

King Zhao, King Liao, King Ning, and King Kang couldn't sit still and joined the melee.

When the King of Qin captured the capital, the King of Yan and his wife finally took action. They wanted to clear the King's side, and it was difficult for them to work hard for King Jing.The reason why they didn't come early in the morning was because it took time to mobilize soldiers and horses. Of course, the situation is so, it is wise to wait and see what happens. Even if you want to grab the throne, you have to be famous.

There is also a king of Zhenbei with a different surname. He chose to side with King Qin at the beginning, but he was also the one who killed King Qin in the end.

This war lasted for more than three years, known as the Rebellion of the Seven Kings in history. In the end, King Yan won and put down all parties.Although this turmoil mainly occurred in the capital city, in the later period of the pacification of the chaos, the flames of war also reached the fiefdoms of the princes. Disappeared in the fire of the city.

King Yan, who is now Emperor Hongxi, originally only planned to make a regent Dangdang and take the emperor to command the princes, but since Emperor Huiwen disappeared, he was probably killed in the fire, so he reluctantly became emperor.Now that he has been emperor for so many years, it is very embarrassing for the grown-up Emperor Huiwen to suddenly say that he wants to come back.

"At the moment, these two things are very important. One is to calm the chaos, and the other is to find this so-called Emperor Huiwen. I want to see with my own eyes whether it is him." The emperor said and looked around the cabinet. For the generals left behind, I am afraid that they will rebel. Minister Gu Ming of Emperor Wen, if this turmoil can survive, it seems necessary to eliminate these civil servants in the cabinet.

Having already tasted the taste of power, how could it be possible to give it up?

"If it's really him..." Sure enough, the chief minister of the cabinet and the veteran of the three dynasties spoke.

"Then I'll return the throne to him!" Emperor Hongxi's voice was loud, vigorous, open and upright, and then he sighed, "I just don't want to lose my life again. In the prosperous age of Kaiyuan, the foundation of the first emperor cannot be destroyed within the Xiaoqiang .”
