Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Nine: Trooping into Chang'an

Emperor Wei died.

Perhaps no one will ever know what he said to Princess Changle.

His last words were more like those spoken by an ordinary citizen before his death.

In short, the Emperor of Wei died.

Everything that happened during his lifetime has nothing to do with him.

From inside the palace, the sound of mourning continued to spread.

The prince succeeded to the throne as he wished. Next to the dragon bed, he asked the eunuch to read out his first official order that was not a priesthood: "Three years of national mourning, and the whole country is in mourning."

Although the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty had no great achievements in his life, he had no faults. He never killed a scholar without permission, and he was loved by scholars all over the world.

The entire palace, the capital, and even the whole country will wear sackcloth and mourn for him.

Although the Emperor of Wei died, he could only stay on his dragon couch for a few days and could not enter his mausoleum.

In short, when the emperor died, all kinds of etiquette were extremely complicated.

All institutions across the country were put into operation urgently. When the Emperor of Wei died, the news that the prince was preparing to succeed was announced to the world.

When the third prince, King Zhao Changxuan of Qin, knew the news, he was heartbroken with grief. He personally shouted loudly at the gate of Chang'an City: "Call His Highness the Crown Prince out! I would like to ask him personally why he didn't let me go when my father was seriously ill.

Went to visit, and as a result, I didn’t even see my father for the last time!

Now that my father has passed away, why hasn't he allowed me to enter the palace to pay homage to him? Is there something fishy in this? Or does my father's death have anything to do with His Highness the Crown Prince?"

You can say this as loudly as you want, for fear that others will not hear you.

The person responsible for guarding the safety of the capital at the moment was the prince's confidant. After hearing King Qin's clamor outside the city, he hurriedly informed the prince of the matter.

After hearing the news, His Royal Highness the Prince said to Zhongqiu: "I have issued an order to have all the southern provinces and counties raise an army of 200,000 to defend the capital. However, due to the invasion of the Jin army, the number of troops mobilized across the country is too large.

There are too many, and it may take some time to raise an army of 200,000.

Moreover, according to intelligence, we know that many Jiedu envoys in the south are close to Zhao Changxuan. It is not an option to continue like this. We still have to think of a complete strategy."

After Zhongqiu thought hard, he said: "In this case, it is better to do nothing and let Cao Shen, who is far away in the Jin Kingdom, return to the country and order the kings all over the country to do their best. If the right person is good, there will be more help, if the wrong way is less, the third prince Zhao Changxuan is unpopular and does not obey the will of God.

, going against the will of nature will not end well."

Now that he had broken up with his brother King Qin, he naturally had nothing to say. He said to the soldiers guarding the city: "Just tell him that if you want to respect filial piety, you can do it outside the city. In extraordinary times, no one is allowed in the capital."

People come and go.”

After hearing these words, the city guard returned them to the King of Qin intact. When he heard these words, he sneered in his heart: "Are you afraid of me to this extent?"

Whatever!

"I am sending an order to inform the world that my father has passed away. The prince did not ask me to fulfill his filial piety, which is really unfilial and unjust. Tomorrow the king will personally attack the city and question His Highness the prince face to face. What is so fishy about the death of my father and why?

Are you trying to stop me? Do you feel guilty? Or maybe there is a treacherous minister who kidnapped His Highness the Crown Prince!"

What Zhao Changxuan was thinking was very simple. Anyway, his intention was obvious, and the two sides had reached the point of incompatibility. At this critical moment, they had to compare who was shameless.

In Qingzhou, when Zhao Changqing learned about the death of his father, it was already two days later.

Don't think too much, the three princes of Chang'an and the prince must have been at loggerheads in the past two days.

After Cao Shen learned that the emperor had passed away and saw the secret letter sent by the prince, he also guessed this.

But he neither said that he would go to the capital to rescue the prince, nor did he say anything about going to the capital. He played a round of Tai Chi with him, and what he was thinking about was that His Highness King Qi had passed away. You people, fight as much as you like, who will end up in the end?

If I win, no matter who I belong to, the worst thing I can do is that I won’t be able to follow the dragon.

But as soon as His Highness the Crown Prince sent the secret message, news came from Qingzhou, saying that His Highness King Qi was not dead.

Upon hearing the news, Cao Shen was naturally very excited.

He also immediately stated that as long as His Highness King Qi gives an order, he will immediately return to Chang'an.

As a result, the total number of troops on Zhao Changqing's side alone is 800,000, which is enough to be said to be arrogant among all the heroes. With this strength, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can crush the whole country.

Here in Qingzhou.

Zhao Changqing is having a secret conversation with Zhuge Liang and others.

"Commander Zhuge, my father has passed away. In the past two days, the enemy forces outside Qingzhou have been almost dispersed. How about we start an army in Chang'an immediately?"

Anyway, ever since he learned that the Emperor of Wei was seriously ill, he had been thinking about killing Chang'an all day long, and he almost went crazy thinking about becoming emperor.

Zhuge Liang also felt that the time had come. He said: "Just in case, we still need to stay in the border city with a hundred thousand troops. In this way, if something happens in the border city, we can take timely and effective precautions and be prepared."

I'm sending someone to tell General Cao Shen that we will raise troops to Chang'an today in the name of Qingjun."

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "Everything will be carried out as Mr. Zhuge said. Generals, this time, there will be no vanguard or front troops.

There are 100,000 troops left in Qingzhou, and the remaining 400,000 troops must reach Chang'an as soon as possible.

Everyone, go down and get ready!"

Upon hearing this, all the generals stood up one after another, bowed and said: "General, take your orders!"

The 400,000-strong army was preparing for the expedition in an orderly manner. Many people smelled the smell of gunpowder, and some people had already learned that the troops were going to Chang'an this time.

This is a great opportunity to accumulate enough merit. Everyone is working hard to do something amazing, and everyone's fighting spirit is very high.

In the early morning of the next day, an army of 400,000 troops set off in a mighty manner.

At this moment, Zhao Changqing looked at the endless army and realized in his heart what freedom meant.

Once you seize the throne and have a lot of mediocrity points, you can top up your force points. By then, you will truly be the only one in the world.

When the army marched to Jijun, Qingzhou, Mi Yue got the news.

She had been busy attending the funeral for Zhao Changqing these days, but she didn't expect that he was not dead in the end.

In the past few days, she has become increasingly thin, has no food and sleep, has trouble sleeping and eating, and her physical fitness has declined rapidly.

After hearing that he led an army to Jijun, I thought he could enter the city.

Unexpectedly, he did not stop at Jijun, but continued to lead the army on the road in a hurry.

I waited for him in the palace for a whole day, but there was no sign of him.

She prepared a lot of things, including robes she sewed for him, meals cooked by herself, etc. She just wanted to have a simple meal with him.

Unexpectedly, he didn't come.

Xiaolan really felt sorry for her and couldn't stand it anymore, so she said: "Your Highness, I think King Qi has not gone far when he led the army. If you really miss him, why don't you go find him yourself?"

Mi Yue shook her head and said: "The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty passed away. At this moment, he suddenly gathered an army and rushed on the road day and night. He must be going to Chang'an.

There will be countless bloody storms there, and there will be even more brutal battles waiting for him. I can't let him be distracted at this critical moment, right?

Although I don’t know whether he has me in his heart or not.”

"Your Highness, when you have the opportunity in the future, wouldn't it be nice if you asked him face to face? But this King of Wei Qi is really powerful. He actually cheated his death and easily defeated the Jin army." Xiaolan stood there.

Said aside.

The news that Zhao Changqing was not dead was already announced to the world on the day he decided to march into Chang'an, and in the name of Qingjun, he first killed the third prince Zhao Changxuan who was attacking the capital.

Mi Yue nodded with blank eyes and seemed to mutter: "Yes, among the heroes in the world, who can have such courage as him, but it is always too dangerous to do so."

She ate a lot today.

Because she feels that she is too thin now. What if he doesn't like her when she sees him in the future?

After finishing her food, she went to the Buddhist hall to chant sutras and pray for Zhao Changqing.
