After lunch, Zhao Changqing and Jian Yi strolled around the palace.

The prince followed closely behind.

The queen and the princess stayed in the emperor's palace to take care of the children.

Zhao Changqing asked Jianyi: "How is the eldest princess doing lately? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Jian Yiyi said: "Just as I was about to talk to Your Majesty about this matter, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was seriously injured. He was also a strong man from Beiyuan, but he was just a human being. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess risked serious injury and killed him. However, after this battle

, the eldest princess lost her vitality and stayed in Qingqiu to heal."

"Healing in Qingqiu?" Zhao Changqing frowned, "Since Zhu Yanxiu is here in Luoyang, why don't you go back to Luoyang to heal? Why go to Qingqiu?"

Jianyi explained: "The injuries suffered by Her Royal Highness the Princess are different, they are Taoist injuries. Common folk treatments have little effect. To be on the safe side, we sent her to Qingqiu for treatment. The spiritual energy there is rich and is very suitable for healing."

, But Your Majesty, don’t worry, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is being taken care of by Li Xingchen, the head of the Shushan Sword Sect, so there should be no serious problems.”

Zhao Changqing said worriedly: "I didn't expect that a single Beiyuan would hide so many masters. They all survived from the pre-Qin era?"

Jian nodded, "According to the information currently available, most of the humans and demons sleeping in the North Plains are basically masters who survived the pre-Qin era. They used thousands of years of ice to seal the blood flow in their bodies.

It is a very mysterious thing that can make a solid object eternal. However, even in the Northern Plains, this kind of ten thousand-year ice is something that can only be encountered but cannot be found. It is difficult to imagine how they found such a thing."

Zhao Changqing said: "Perhaps, ten thousand years of ice was not uncommon in their time. In any case, we must pay close attention to the situation in Beiyuan. It is really unexpected that so many masters are hidden. They are all the last one."

The remnants of the times may even have a profound impact on the world, and we must guard against them.”

Jian Yiyi said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Meixi, the ancestor of the Fox clan, once visited Beiyuan?"

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "Of course I remember this. We were still causing quite a stir in the world back then. Why, you said that the incident in Beiyuan has anything to do with Meixi?"

Jian Yiyi said: "We are not sure yet, but my subordinates feel that this matter is definitely related to Meixi. She must be inextricably linked to some existence in Beiyuan."

"We must investigate this matter carefully and strive to find out all the secrets of Beiyuan. If you need anything, just tell me and I will ask the Dongchang organization to spare no effort to help you."

Zhao Changqing said seriously.

Jianyi bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty. However, this matter should not be made public. It is enough for my subordinates to investigate with the senior Jianghu people in the Wei Kingdom."

Zhao Changqing nodded and said: "Okay, remember, you must be careful in everything."

Jian Yiyi stayed in Luoyang for a long time and then left.

Zhao Changqing personally sent the sword out of the city.

On the way back to the palace, the prince asked Zhao Changqing: "Father, how big is the potential threat to us in Beiyuan that the sword master mentioned?"

Zhao Changqing frowned and said, "It is very likely that it will threaten the prosperity of our dynasty."

The prince was startled when he heard the sound.

Quite surprised.

Zhao Changqing forced a smile and said: "However, you can rest assured that before passing the throne to you, my father will definitely handle everything for you and leave you with a carefree dynasty management."

The prince didn't know how to answer, so he just bowed deeply.

Zhao Changqing was sitting in the royal chariot, seeming to mutter to himself: "Shen Feng... Northern Plains... Southern Barbarians... After I unify the world, I will eliminate all these cancers, and by the way, there are also demon clans.

"

one year later.

In the spring of the 22nd year of Taichu, a million-strong army of the Tang Dynasty invaded the borders of the Wei Dynasty.

According to Jin Yiwei's reliable information, nearly a million troops are arriving one after another.

In the past year, the borders of Wei Dynasty have been guarded by millions of soldiers.

Nowadays, the Wei Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and abundant food and grass. It is time to take a step forward.

Destroy the Tang Dynasty!

For three whole days and nights, in Xuanzheng Hall and Chongde Hall, all civil and military officials were busy handling government affairs, summarizing all available domestic resources and sending them to the border.

The palace and even the city of Luoyang felt an extraordinary atmosphere.

It seems that it is foreshadowing that an earth-shaking war is about to begin.

This battle will determine who is the overlord on this land.

Zhao Changqing is already wearing armor and is ready to go to war at any time.

Troops quickly mobilized from all over the country either gathered at the original Wei border pass or rushed directly to Luoyang.

If what the two emperors said when they met for an alliance is true, then this battle will be the last battle of the Wei Dynasty.

It is also the last battle in the world.

The whole country must be mobilized.

In addition to the one million troops already at the border, Zhao Changqing mobilized another two million troops from all over the country, not counting the 800,000 troops at the border of Beiliang.

The prince has not slept in the past few days and has been busy with the ministers.

Mobilizing the materials, supplies, etc. required for an army of four million is really a very labor-intensive task.

When he saw this number, Zhao Changqing was also stunned. He never expected that so many troops would appear from all over the country.

At the beginning, he didn't even read some of the transfer orders regarding the recruitment of troops from various places, and left them to the prince to handle.

Therefore, Zhao Changqing was very surprised by the sudden appearance of four million Wei soldiers.

To be precise, it should be more than 4 million, because Xiao Yuming and Bai Qi still left an army of 500,000 in the southern barbarian land.

But this time, Zhao Changqing will gather all the available forces together.

Only 300,000 troops from Northern Liang were left to defend themselves against Song's surprise attack.

All the remaining Wei soldiers were brought to the border of Tang State.

In this battle, we must exert all our strength.

As long as the Tang State is destroyed, the Song State, which is not good at using force, will be in the pocket.

After everything was ready, the night before the expedition, Zhao Changqing had a simple family dinner with all the concubines in the harem, including the children.

The atmosphere of this family dinner was very bad, with a sense of depression.

But there was no way around it, because the expedition to the Tang Dynasty was already inevitable.

During the dinner, He Ning, Da Ji, Wang Zhaojun and other women all had a glass of wine with Zhao Changqing.

This is something that has never happened before.

They always feel that this battle will be extremely dangerous.

Because I heard that the Tang State also devoted all its efforts to raise an army of three million.

A massive melee involving seven million people is something that has almost never happened before.

Even if it was dangerous, they would not dare to persuade His Majesty not to fight this war again.

Because they knew very well that even if His Majesty did not fight, Tang Guo would take the initiative to stir up trouble.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to fight to the death with Tang State.

This is the great talent and strategy in His Majesty's heart. As the emperor's women, they should support it even more.

But in my heart, I just didn't want him to go.

The Queen said: "Your Majesty, how long do you think it will take to go on an expedition?"

Zhao Changqing said: "I don't know, it will probably take at least three to five years."

Everyone fell silent.

Zhao Changqing said: "Maybe if the war goes well, it will only take a year and a half."

The queen stood up and led all the concubines in the harem to toast the emperor together, "I am waiting for this glass of wine to toast your majesty's triumphant return."

When the prince and the princess heard this, they stood up suddenly and toasted to the emperor one after another, "This glass of wine, I wish my father to win the victory."

Zhao Changqing smiled and drank the wine in the glass.

After everyone was seated safely, Zhao Changqing told the prince: "After my personal expedition, the situation in Luoyang and the country will be left to you. Don't let me down. Handle the government affairs well. If you are undecided, you can ask more questions and ask questions."

Shen Yansong and the others."

Even if they are corrupt officials, even if they are traitorous ministers, they will still unite in this situation.

The prince nodded, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely not worry you."
