The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping
Chapter 78 The Emperor's Substitute 25
After the Daqing Dynasty suffered several consecutive defeats, the Daqin side probably gained confidence because of these consecutive victories. It changed its previous cautious and tentative style and began to send troops into the battlefield in large numbers, trying to achieve success in one battle, destroy the border troops of the Daqing Dynasty, and march straight into the heartland of the Daqing Dynasty.
Facing the fierce offensive of the Daqin army, the 800,000 Shen family troops on the border performed quite poorly, and did not have the momentum of the first army of the Daqing Dynasty at all. Many people in the court were quite disappointed with the Shen family troops, and even began to worry about what to do if the border was defeated.
In such a somewhat panic atmosphere, the war between the Daqing Dynasty and the Daqin came. The number of troops deployed by both sides exceeded one million, which was considered to be the largest battle between the two countries in recent years. The victory or failure of this battle determined the situation of the two countries in the next few years.
This battle is crucial.
Shen Tiange swallowed his saliva nervously, looking up at the emperor sitting behind the desk in front of him. He was relaxed and calm, and he remained calm even in such a critical moment, as if he had a plan in mind.
As someone who knew that His Majesty was "cooperating" with the Prince of Daqin, Shen Tiange was very nervous at this time, because if he was not wrong, today would be the day for the final battle between Daqing Dynasty and Daqin. Although he knew His Majesty's arrangement in advance, he was not sure whether Daqin would really be fooled.
Although Daqin believed the defense map they sent to Daqin several times before and planned the battle, it was difficult to determine that the Prince of Daqin really believed them completely and planned a strategy against their "defense map" in this war.
Holding the memorial with his slender fingers, Xuanyuan looked at the contents of the memorial intently, very seriously. After reviewing the last memorial, Xuanyuan had time to deal with the extremely burning eyes that fell on him.
Putting down the memorial in his hand, Xuan Yuan raised his eyes to look at the burning gaze falling on him, and frowned slightly: "Why is Mr. Shen sweating so much?"
Shen Tiange licked his dry lips and smiled bitterly: "I am nervous and a little scared." This battle is too important. It is not only related to the future destiny of the two countries, but also extremely important to the Shen family.
If the Shen family loses, not only will the glory be deprived, but even the father and brother who fought bloody battles at the border may be in danger of their lives. How can Shen Tiange not be worried and nervous?
Xuan Yuan frowned slightly, his handsome face expressionless, cold and distant, he said lightly: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, this plan is foolproof, and this battle will surely win."
A day later, the border finally received an urgent battle report from 800 miles away. The Shen family army defeated the Qin army, killed 80,000 enemies, and captured 120,000. The Qin army was defeated and had to retreat from the border. The Shen family army took advantage of the victory to pursue and break through the border towns of the Qin Dynasty. Now five towns have been conquered by the Daqing Dynasty.
After the victory report was sent back to the court, the whole court celebrated. This battle was the biggest victory of the Daqing Dynasty in several years, which naturally made everyone inside and outside the court ecstatic.
After Shen Yu returned to the court, he unexpectedly submitted a letter of resignation and begged for his bones. After Xuanyuan agreed with his imperial pen, he conferred Shen Yu as the Grand Tutor, Shen Yu's eldest son Shen Tianyang as the Duke of Shen and the General of the Cavalry, and continued to command the Shen family army, while Shen Tiange was appointed as the lieutenant of the Imperial Guard to guard the safety of the palace.
Although Shen Yu left the court, the two sons of the Shen family were highly valued. The Shen family did not fall, but acted more and more low-key, which made Xuanyuan satisfied and did not pursue the previous transgressions of the Shen family.
After being severely tricked by Xuanyuan, Daqin was defeated, and several towns on the border fell and were incorporated into the power of Daqing Dynasty. After the victory of this war, not only did Daqin not dare to fight with Daqing Dynasty easily for several years, but also gained a lot of benefits.
Since then, the situation in Daqing has been determined, and many ministers who used the Shen family for personal gain have been cleared out of the court. These vacancies were quickly filled by new officials without causing any turmoil. Taking advantage of Shen Yu's withdrawal from the court, the entire Daqing was completely controlled by Xuanyuan.
Nine months later, Concubine Rou gave birth to a son and named him Yan Chengzuo. The name was so suggestive that the ministers in the court knew that His Majesty intended to use this son to inherit the throne.
Many ministers who were still unwilling to give up and wanted to wait for Concubine Yuan to give birth to a son to earn the merit of following the emperor stopped. After all, the meaning of the name Chengzuo was not ordinary. Not to mention that Concubine Yuan had no children since then, even if she really gave birth to a child in the future, whether she could win the fight was another matter.
After Yan Chengzuo was given the name, Shen Xiaoyue, who had been hesitating and had not made a decision to leave the palace, finally made up her mind. After Xuanyuan issued an order to confer her the title of Princess, she left the palace and prepared to marry again.
After Yan Chengzuo was born, Xuanyuan took him away from Li Mingxue. As Yan Junxian had lost his usefulness, Xuanyuan naturally did not keep him in the side hall of Daming Palace. Instead, he and Li Mingxue moved to a remote palace in the palace and continued to be guarded.
In this life, the two of them will continue to be entangled, regardless of whether there is still love between them, whether they hate each other or support each other.
After Yan Chengzuo was born, Xuanyuan personally educated him and taught him the way of being a king. Since he was born, Yan Chengzuo's growth trajectory has been full of Xuanyuan's figure, and his every word and action has been influenced by Xuanyuan.
Ten years later, Xuanyuan has stayed in this world for eleven years, and under his diligent administration day after day, the entire Daqing Dynasty has been peaceful and prosperous, with clear government affairs and strong national strength. It has become the most powerful country on this continent.
The reason why Xuanyuan stayed in this world for such a long time was not only because he wanted to spend more time learning how to be a qualified emperor, but also because he wanted to wait for Yan Chengzuo to grow up and take over the burden of the country.
Whether it was Yan Junxian or the original owner, neither of them was the candidate to take over the country, so Xuanyuan could not leave before Yan Chengzuo grew up. Although he had lost interest in this world a long time ago, he had to bear some responsibilities.
"Your Majesty, this is the homework done by the prince today. In my opinion, it is very outstanding." Gu Wenqing, who was thirty years old and had a handsome face, stroked his beautiful beard and handed a volume of policy papers to Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan, who had just finished reviewing today's memorials and was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes when he heard the words, took the policy papers handed over by Gu Wenqing, glanced at it quickly, and couldn't help but curled his lips slightly, nodded and said: "It's really good."
In the imperial study, the bright sunlight shone in through the window lattice and fell on Xuanyuan's profile. He had long eyebrows and eyes, thin lips slightly raised, handsome and elegant appearance, cold and indifferent expression, and at first glance, he was exactly the same as ten years ago, without any old look.
Xuanyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked away from the policy paper in his hand. He looked at Gu Wenqing, and after a moment's silence, he asked calmly, "Do you think the prince has grown up?" His dark eyes were deep and awe-inspiring.
Gu Wenqing's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little confused by Xuanyuan's words. He didn't know whether His Majesty really admired the prince, or thought that the prince had grown to the point of threatening his position?
Although he is now in a high position in the court and has served Xuanyuan for many years, Gu Wenqing still thinks that he still cannot figure out the emperor's mind. After careful consideration, he said cautiously: "The prince is indeed much more mature than his peers, and this is also due to the good teaching of your majesty."
Xuanyuan lowered his eyes and tapped the policy paper on the desk with his right index finger twice: "It seems that it is indeed time... He is indeed growing up very fast."
Although Yan Chengzuo is only ten years old, he is as mature as a teenager. He was raised by him, and it is time for him to bear the truth and take on the throne.
After sending Gu Wenqing away, Xuanyuan sat in the imperial study for a while, and then ordered the palace servants to invite the prince to come.
0617 sighed: "Host, can we finally leave this world?"
Xuan Yuan's original somewhat melancholy mood was dispelled by 0617's question. He raised his lips slightly and smiled: "Didn't you dislike me leaving the stall the most before? Why are you in a hurry to leave now?"
0617 sighed bitterly: "Because I want to earn points! How can I waste so much time in this world?" Speaking of it, 0617 was fed with enough appetite by Xuan Yuan. Xuan Yuan completed the task in a short time, but earned a lot of points. Although 0617 disliked Xuan Yuan for leaving the stall, he was actually very happy.
Because earning points quickly...
"Don't worry, you will be able to leave this world soon." Xuan Yuan said with a smile, his eyes were deep and deep like the sea. The eleven years as an emperor in this world also left him with a very deep mark.
Only when you are really in this position can you understand what kind of existence an emperor is and what meaning it has.
"Father." While Xuanyuan was distracted, Yan Chengzuo had already walked into the imperial study. The ten-year-old boy was wearing a bright yellow robe with a four-clawed golden dragon. His eyebrows and eyes were delicate and beautiful, and he was smart and clever. He had already shown his talent.
Xuanyuan responded softly and waved him over: "Zuo'er, you are ten years old this year. You should know some things. Father hopes that you can stay calm and handle this matter as the crown prince."
Yan Chengzuo's eyes were bright, full of admiration and attachment. He nodded without hesitation: "Father, I will not let you down!"
