Shenjing Sleeping Mausoleum.

A huge pine tree is paved like a roof, surrounded by dense trees, with frost tips hanging on the branches. A long pavilion is built under the pine tree. There is a chessboard in the center of the chessboard. Two men in yellow robes sit on the left and right, one old and one young, are Zhao Bairen, the emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, and Zhao Liexian, his favorite fourth prince. On one side is a new tomb. The tomb is not majestic and elegant, but on the contrary, it is very inconspicuous. The tombstone is also written very simply, without a name, no title, no posthumous title, and only four simple words: the tomb of the Ming Concubine.

Zhao Bairen was taking the exam at this time. A black piece was whirling with his fingertips, staring at the chess movements in the chessboard, but his eyes were lit and he seemed to be focused, but in fact he had already wandered outside the sky.

Zhao Lie was already familiar with this, but just waited quietly, taking a sip of tea from time to time, and then looking at the surrounding scenery.

"Father, it's over. My father always comes to this place these days, and he sits for four or five hours. Although there is no wind or rain here, according to the Great Star Official, the yin energy here is soaring into the sky. It is probably not good for the dragon body to stay for a long time." Zhao Lie waited for a long time, and saw that Zhao Bairen was still motionless, he finally couldn't help but whisper.

Zhao Bairen's eyes moved and said, "Big Star Official? Big Star Official, I haven't seen him for a long time. Is he okay?"

Zhao Lie's eyes twitched for a moment and said, "Father, the Great Star Official... He was assassinated last month and has gone to the immortal..."

Zhao Bairen was shocked: "Ah? Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Liexian whispered: "Father, this matter was urged by the Emperor to investigate."

Zhao Bairen said in confusion: "Who is the murderer?"

Zhao Liexian said: "Not found yet."

Zhao Bairen was furious: "A bastard, more than a month has passed, why hasn't he been arrested yet? Such a horrific case occurred in Shenjing, so how can the court be in the face! Gu Changwei! Gu Changwei! As the commander of the Blood Guard, he has not been able to close the case yet. Are you not ashamed?!"

Zhao Liexian sighed lightly and whispered: "Father, Gu Shiwei has resigned ten days ago."

Zhao Bairen was still angry: "I'm a bastard, I want to run away if something happens! Call him back to me! Let him have to investigate the case to the bottom of it!"

Zhao Liexian said carefully and softly: "Father, Gu Gu left a suicide note when he returned home, claiming that he had been betrayed the emperor, and he committed suicide the next day."

Zhao Bairen's mouth suddenly grew big and could not close for a long time. After a while, his lips trembled slightly and closed his eyes slowly. A trace of tears oozed out of the corners of his eyes: "He has left too? He has served me for eleven years, so why did he leave?"

As he said that, Zhao Bairen opened his eyes, looked at the tombstone of Mingfei in pain, and choked in a low voice: "Mingfei has served me for eighteen years, and the great star officials have served me for sixty-one years. How could they leave without leaving any affection or any old love?"

Zhao Bairen shed two lines of tears. He covered his heart and cried in a low voice: "I'll kill me..."

Zhao Liexian quickly shouted in panic: "Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor!!"

Imperial Doctor Fang, not far away, came to hear the sound. He trotted all the way with a small medicine box and ran to Zhao Bairen. After touching his pulse, he nodded to the nervous eunuch on the side. The eunuch immediately took out the medicine bottle he carried with him and fed Zhao Bairen two pills. Zhao Bairen's brows were slightly relaxed, but after all this struggle, he was already lying on the recliner beside him, covered with a thick fur collar, his face pale, and his lips were foamy.

After about half an hour, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from outside. Then several people jumped off the horse. One of them rushed over quickly. Before he could get close, he heard a voice anxiously shouting: "Father, Father! I am late, I am dying!"

The person coming was Zhao Hanqing. He rushed all the way, ran before Zhao Bairen collapsed and knelt down, choked and said, "Father, my son is here! Is the dragon body of my father good?"

Zhao Lie first gently helped Zhao Bairen wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "Isn't this the prince of the surrogate who has a lot of money? Why do you have time to come and see your father?"

This is a gun and a stick, and it is so sarcastic that the others lowered their heads and pretended to be dead and stupid.

Zhao Bairen stared at Zhao Hanqing with muddy eyes, his fingers trembled slightly, and Zhao Hanqing quickly kowtowed and defended: "Father, I just received the news and rushed over immediately."

Zhao Liexian snorted coldly: "On weekdays, you go to pay homage to your father every day, and you keep storms. Now you are about to abdicate and pass the throne, so you simply don't come! Humph, it seems that you are going to cross the river and destroy the bridge!"

Zhao Hanqing was furious. He suddenly looked up, his eyes like an arrow: "Pingwang, what are you saying!" As he said that, he kowtowed to Zhao Bairen and said: "Father, it's not that my son's minister is unfilial, but that the most important thing in the world is happening now! Pingwang, don't criticize it if you don't know the situation and speak nonsense! Do you know what big things have happened in the past two days!!"

Zhao Liexian said sarcastically: "How can I know? I am just a useless prince who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. He just stays with his father all day long. How can I know what’s happening outside?"

Zhao Hanqing glared at Zhao Lie angrily, then bowed to Zhao Bairen and said, "Father! An urgent report came from the southeast. Long Tenghai led the army to fight with the Puppet Kingdom and Dijon Kingdom. The two sides fought for a day and night, and the front line continued for more than 100 miles. Both sides were hurt heavily and each had their own losses. The next day, Long Tenghai launched a surprise army and attacked Yuexiaguan in the Shanlan Plain in an early stage, but secretly sent two thousand monks to bypass the front line and raid the Blue Mountain Granary behind the slanting distance."

Zhao Hanqing spoke very fast, and his voice even showed the sound of metal and stone. His tone made people feel the murderous aura coming from the battlefield thousands of miles away. Even when others heard it, they were extremely nervous and did not dare to speak out.

Zhao Bairen struggled to do it, and with Zhao Liexian's support, he sat on the soft collapse. He took a sip of the hot ginseng soup brought by the eunuch, recovered a little vitality, and then nodded to Zhao Hanqing.

Zhao Hanqing continued: "But the enemy coalition commander Ulala had already had heavy troops in the Blue Mountain Granary Station. Two thousand monks failed to attack, and the entire army was wiped out!"

"Ah!!" The eunuchs and palace maids around exclaimed in a low voice, looking at each other.

Zhao Hanqing continued with a ugly expression: "Not only that, the enemy also sent ten cavalry regiments on both wings, cooperated with the artillery regiment to penetrate the protection of the two wings from both sides, bypassed the strongest central defense line and attacked the rear line of our central army. Then, with the cooperation of the air warships, the enemy assault troops, with the cooperation of the air warships, the enemy Saint Light Legion, the Shengwei Legion, the Five Thousand Bloods Corps, and the Three Thousand Blood Corps jointly broke through the defense line of our central army and rushed straight to the camp of the commander of the central army Long Tenghai!"

Zhao Bairen widened his eyes and his fingers trembled slightly: "Can the general be safe?"

Zhao Hanqing nodded quickly and said, "Although the enemy's fierce and cunning army, the enemy's actions were expected by the military advisor Gao Shenghan. The camps and tents of our central commander were trapped. The enemy assault troops, the Holy Light Legion, the Holy Wei Legion, the Five Thousand Bloods, and the Three Thousand Bloods corps were all trapped in the siege of our army. Gao Shenghan surrounded him without fighting, luring the enemy's commander to come to rescue him, but the enemy's commander saw through Gao Shenghan's plan and could not stand it. General Long Tenghai then ordered all the enemy troops to be encircled and annihilated. Our army won... a miserable victory."

Zhao Bairen let out a long sigh and murmured: "It's good if you win, it's good if you win."

Zhao Liei muttered sourly: "Is it not a bad victory to be a winner?"

Zhao Hanqing seemed to have not heard it, and he immediately said: "Although Long Tenghai has heard good news, he also requested reinforcements. In this battle, our army severely damaged the enemy's elite and killed a total of 150,000 enemies. However, our army also lost 2,000 monks and 100,000 soldiers. Long Tenghai urgently asked the court to recruit monks from all kinds of missions to support, and at the same time sent more troops to cooperate in combat."

Zhao Bairen opened his mouth and said, "Where did the imperial court give him the gap for these two thousand monks? The various cultivators suffered heavy losses at this time, so how could they send people to the war?"

Most monks are selfish. For the sake of the interests of the sect, they can send monks to fight with the court and then divide the various interests of the occupied areas. However, once they encounter tragic casualties, they will give up.

After all, compared to money, life is more important!

Zhao Hanqing kowtowed and said, "Father, no matter what the battle is, it has already made a good start. If you don't reinforce immediately, the Puppet Kingdom and Dijon Kingdom will fight at home, and the speed of replenishment is far better than that of me. If you continue like this, the enemy will be strong and we will be weak. Once the war collapses, there may be... something unexpected happening!"

There are no fools here. Everyone knows that once this war breaks out, all contradictions must retreat. The outcome of this war is the main contradiction, because once this war loses, it is not as simple as losing power and humiliating the country.

All the contradictions accumulated by Daqi will erupt!

If the Puqi Kingdom and Dijon Kingdom lose, they will only cede land and pay compensation, but if the Daqi loses, they are afraid that... they will change their dynasty again.

They can't afford to lose!

Zhao Liexian lowered his eyes at this time, and his eyes were rotating rapidly. A poisonous plan that killed two birds with one stone suddenly came to his mind.
