To The Land of Nevernight

Liao Kingdom, Shangjing Dading Mansion.

The military newspaper of Datong Mansion rushed to the palace.

Emperor Liao was injured while hunting, and now he is in a coma. The affairs of the court are all handled by the second prince Yelushege and the prince Taibao Yelvding.This urgent military report soon fell into the hands of brother Yelushe. He opened it and immediately became furious: "Song people dare to tear up the contract, are they deceiving me that there is no one in Daliao! Take a look at this military report."

Yeluqin's complexion changed, he took the military newspaper, and after reading it, he said angrily: "My Daliao has not yet started a war, and the little country of Song dared to break the ban. Don't worry, Your Highness, as long as my Daliao cavalry goes south, I will surely give those stupid people A painful lesson for the Song people."

Brother Yelushe pondered for a moment, then raised his hand: "No, maybe this is a good opportunity."

Yeluqin was taken aback: "Your Highness?"

Brother Yelushe's pretty face showed a vague and uncertain look, and he said in a very fast voice: "Father has always valued me more than me, he is unconscious, and I should be in control of the power in the court, and I will act as an agent of the court. But The prince and grand master are really powerful, seeking power with him is no less than seeking skin with a tiger. Now that the Song army dares to attack, this may be an opportunity. If the emperor does not wake up for a day, we will be in a much more dangerous situation."

Turning his eyes, Yeluqin understood, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will send someone to send the emergency military information to the prince's grand master's residence."

Brother Yelushe smiled slightly and nodded slightly.

At the same time, Da Song, Sheng Jing.

The scouts rode fast horses, held high the military report all the way, got the official gallop franchise, and rode all the way into the palace.

In the vertical arch hall, the emperor is drinking ginseng soup.

Zhao Fu squeezed a black elixir into his mouth, and swallowed the elixir with the ginseng soup.At this time, the chief eunuch Ji Fu hurried in and made a salute: "Officials, the military situation from the northwest."

The military situation is greater than the sky, without waiting for Zhao Fu to summon, the scout who transported the military situation has already knelt in the Chuigong Hall.He raised his hands above his head, holding a small wooden tube in his hand, waiting for the emperor to open it.

Zhao Fu gradually opened his eyes wide. He sat on the throne, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

As if exhausting all his strength, he supported the armrest with both hands, stood up, and his body swayed slightly.Ji Fu's eyes were sharp, and he hurried up to hold the emperor's right arm.Zhao Fu stood in the Chuigong Hall, only two feet away from the small wooden tube, but he didn't dare to take this step.

In the Chuigong Palace, the eunuchs and maids serving did not understand what had happened.

Today's errands, the living man and the living man, don't know what happened.

Ji Fu who supported Zhao Fu didn't know what happened to the emperor.

Even the scout officer who sent this letter of military information didn't understand that what he was holding in his hand was not a letter of military information, but the vast and boundless land of the three states of Song Dynasty!

Zhao Fu strode forward suddenly, he was walking so fast that Ji Fu couldn't keep up.He grabbed the military report and opened it.Panic, worry, apprehension, and ecstasy flowed through Zhao Fu's turbid eyes one by one.The next moment, he suddenly became calm again.He put the general newspaper on the table and said to Ji Fu: "Xuan Xu, Wang Quan, Chen Linghai...Zhou Fang, Wang Qin."

Ji Fu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something serious happened.He quietly raised his eyes to look at Zhao Fu, only to see Zhao Fu quietly looking ahead with an indifferent expression, as if there were no waves in an ancient well.

Half an hour later, all first-rank ministers of the current dynasty entered the Chui Gong Hall.

An hour later, they came out one after another.

The expressions of these first-rank ministers were colorful, and the last one to walk out of the Chuigong Hall was the left minister of the dynasty, Xu Wei.He is now almost seventy years old, with thinning gray hair, and his official robes are very spacious because they are too thin.When Xu Wei walked out of the Chuigong Hall, it was already sunset.When he walked to the square in front of the hall, he stopped suddenly.

After a while, he sighed and continued to move forward.

In the Chuigong Palace, Zhao Fu walked back and forth dozens of times.He hadn't had such inexhaustible energy for a long time. After talking about the Northwest military situation with his first-rank officials, he immediately discussed countermeasures with the ministers and made arrangements.Obviously he should be extremely exhausted, but he was extremely excited.

After walking around again, Zhao Fu suddenly turned around and said, "Ji Fu."

The emperor strolled around in the palace, although Ji Fu didn't understand why, he had to follow him around several times.Now that the emperor stopped, Ji Fu hurriedly responded: "The servant is here."

Zhao Fu: "You said the portrait they drew for me last year, how was it?"

Every year on Zhao Fu's birthday, there will be a palace painter to paint a picture for the emperor.Ji Fu laughed and said: "Your Majesty's sky is magnificent and as long as a peak, but it is very vivid."

Zhao Fu: "I think the painting is not enough."

Ji Fu was taken aback.

"Come here, get the painter in the palace and draw another picture for me!"

The emperor thought about it casually, and everyone in the palace immediately became busy.Seeing the emperor's joyful appearance, Ji Fu couldn't help but also heartfeltly joyful.

In the early morning of the next day, news of the Northwest War spread throughout the court.

The ministers were shocked.

Tang Shen is the right servant of the Third Grade Industry Department. He knew early on that the Northwest would go to war sooner or later, but he didn't expect that Su Wenyun and Li Jingde would strike so soon!How could they do it suddenly?Even Grand Master Zhou did not dare to start a war at will. This is a major event between the two countries, and it must be affixed with the emperor's imperial seal.

Tang Shen lowered his head to think about this matter, but in the Zichen Palace, the officials were already arguing.However, the great battle had already begun, and when the officials finished arguing, Zhao Fu waved his hand, and the hall immediately became silent.His voice was as steady as Hong Zhong: "The people of Liao have been bullying Song for a long time, and the land of the three states of Shenlu is our Song territory. Every time I think about this, I am so sad that I can't sleep at night!"

All the officials immediately said in unison: "I would like to share the worries for Your Majesty."

Zhao Fu's eyes swept over the faces of these officials one by one, and the next moment, his tone was decisive: "I have decided to add [-] troops to attack the northwest!"

Among the officials, even the Lord and the Party could only grit their teeth and respond loudly: "Follow Your Majesty's order!"

In Shengjing City, news of the war between the two countries spread throughout the city in an instant.

The officials got busy one by one.Fighting a war is not an easy task. The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry immediately began to deliver military pay and food to Youzhou before the soldiers and horses moved the food and grass.The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials are not idle. The emperor wants to add [-] troops, so where to mobilize [-] soldiers is a problem.

In Zuo Xiang's mansion, the core members of Xu's party were also arguing endlessly.

"Song and Liao have been in peace for 26 years, and now the sudden war is still led by my Song Dynasty, which is simply ridiculous!"

"Although a peace treaty has been signed, the Liao people have invaded our Song territory every year, and now it is nothing more than an eye for an eye."

"It's easy to say, Mr. Liu, that is the Liao Kingdom, a Liao Kingdom with [-] cavalry! How can we defeat the Liao Kingdom? This is undoubtedly killing ourselves by hitting an egg against a rock."

"you……!"

"Click-"

The crisp sound of a teacup falling on the table sounded, and several officials who were arguing immediately fell silent, and turned to look at Xu Wei who was sitting in the upper seat.

Half of Xu Xiang's face was in the shadows, so he couldn't see clearly.He had a long voice: "Willing or not, the battle has already begun, so what's the point of arguing about it. This matter may not be a disaster, as the saying goes, a blessing depends on it!" Xu Wei turned to look at his students, he He smiled and said, "Xianzhi, your chance has finally come."

Three days later, the imperial court summoned an army of [-], led by Hussar General Wei as the overseer, and Yu Chaosheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, as the supervisor, and sent troops westward to Youzhou.

When Tang Shen heard that Yu Chaosheng had gone to the northwest, he was extremely surprised.After returning to Shangshu Mansion at night, he asked Wang Qin, "You actually let that Yu Chaosheng leave Shengjing?"

Wang Qin was sipping tea, when he heard that he turned his head and glanced at Tang Shen: "So you know?"

Tang Shen: "How can you not know, in one afternoon, everyone will know!"

Wang Qin said with a smile: "The emperor appointed him as the inspector of the three armies, and the northwest where he was ordered to go has nothing to do with me."

Tang Shen: "..."

"The Xingzhou case is still under trial at Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Now that Yu Chaosheng is gone, which Zhongliang do you plan to murder?"

Wang Qin laughed suddenly: "In your heart, Yu Chaosheng is considered loyal?"

Tang Shen asked back: "It doesn't count?"

"Not necessarily so." Wang Qin said lightly, he suddenly became interested, looked sideways at Tang Shen, and asked: "In the heart of my junior brother, am I also a loyal minister?"

Tang Shen: "..."

Tang Shen stood up without saying a word, kissed Wang Qin on the cheek, and continued: "In my heart, senior brother is naturally."

Wang Qin laughed happily.

The Northwest War has become a major event that everyone in Shengjing is concerned about.

Three days later, the painter finally finished a portrait for Zhao Fu. Zhao Fu was extremely satisfied. He couldn't put it down and watched the portrait all day long.He hung this portrait in the vertical arch hall, and he could see it every day when he looked up.

The emperor was in a happy mood, and the eunuchs and court ladies were also blessed.

Ji Fu is also living very comfortably these days, he is not worried about the war situation in the Northwest, that is what the officials should worry about.He only knew that if the emperor was so happy, everything would be fine.

Outside the Chui Gong Palace, Ji Fu said with emotion to his godson: "These days are really more and more comfortable!"

As soon as the words were finished, Ji Fucai told his godson Xie Bao a few words, and saw a scout officer coming quickly from outside the palace gate.Ji Fu's eyes lit up immediately.The last time the military situation came from the northwest, the emperor was already happy for ten days after watching the military situation.Now that the military situation is coming again, it must be good news.

Ji Fu couldn't wait to bring the scout officer into the Chuigong Palace.

Zhao Fu: "Is it the military newspaper from the Northwest Camp?"

The scout officer knelt on the ground and held up the secret letter in his hand: "The words to His Majesty are not military newspapers, but the secret letter from the second prince's residence."

Zhao Fu was slightly surprised, and he ordered Ji Fu to bring up the letter from the scout.While reading the letter, Zhao Fu's face quickly darkened.He squeezed the letter paper tightly with both hands, almost crushing the thin rice paper.

"waste!"

Zhao Fu suddenly shouted loudly, startling everyone in the hall.

The next moment, Zhao Fu closed his eyes and fell backwards.Ji Fu rushed forward in horror, using his body as a pad, which prevented the emperor from falling to the ground.He let out an "ouch" in pain, raised his head and said, "Hurry up and ask the imperial doctor, please the imperial doctor!"

Fortunately, this time it was not a relapse of the headache, Zhao Fu was just in a hurry, and fainted because of his shortness of breath.When night fell, he woke up faintly.This cloudy and uncertain emperor stared at all the eunuchs and concubines in Funing Palace with cold eyes. These servants were so frightened that they didn't even dare to take a breath.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhao Fu withdrew his cold gaze.He got up, and Ji Fu hurriedly put a piece of clothes on him.

"Officials."

Zhao Fu didn't say a word, he walked to the desk without saying a word, picked up a pen and wrote an imperial decree, and stamped it with the imperial seal.

Zhao Fu said lightly: "Tomorrow, you will declare the decree."

Ji Fu accepted the imperial edict in astonishment, and said cautiously: "Yes, the slave and maidservant will receive the edict."

Zhao Fu: "Go to the Fourth Prince's Mansion first, and then to the Fifth Prince's Mansion."

Ji Fu was puzzled: "...Yes."
