However, as the emperor who leads the expedition in person, he cannot retreat and escape. [ ] Otherwise, the morale of the Northern Kingdom will collapse.
He stayed in the camp all night long, frowning, but felt that nothing had gone smoothly for more than a year. The white hair on his temples became darker.
But that night, a total lunar eclipse suddenly appeared in the sky.
That night, the sky was clear and a full moon was in the sky, and the clear light spread all along the river. However, late at night, a shadow suddenly appeared on the mirror-like full moon, and then the shadow became bigger and bigger.
Later, the entire moon turned into a terrible black hole, leaving only a golden halo outside...
This terrible scene was first discovered by the patrolling soldiers. They shouted, which immediately woke up all the troops. Everyone looked out and started shouting.
"Oh my god... the tengu ate the moon... the tengu ate the moon..."
The emperor and others also came out after hearing the news.
This situation lasted for more than an hour.
Many people were whispering. Some said that the war had killed too many people, with too many casualties. Their souls had been attacked by vicious dogs, and now they came out to cause trouble?
Some people also say, does it herald some great disaster?
Some ministers even spread out some weird rumors of disaster...
The emperor stood at a high place and did not pay attention to these comments. He was moved in his heart and remembered something the Queen Mother told him when he was a child. It was still a total solar eclipse, not a total lunar eclipse. In broad daylight, the good sun was actually incomplete. This kind of
The scene was extremely rare; neither the emperor nor many people present had ever seen a total solar eclipse.
However, he remembered this incident at this time and knew that it was a natural phenomenon.
However, the voices of discussion below are getting louder and louder. Although it is a trivial matter, it may seriously shake the morale of the army. After all, now is the time when people are at their most impetuous, and there is an atmosphere of pessimism and disappointment throughout the military camp.
He called all the ministers together for discussion.
This time, the ministers were once again clearly divided into two factions. Among them, the generals headed by the Second Prince took the opportunity to make a speech, and Zhu Chengxu took the lead in attacking, saying that the casualties in this war were too heavy, and that the souls of the soldiers were angry in heaven, and suggested
Your Majesty should quickly restore Prince Chun to the throne and treat the concubines in the harem well so that the disaster can be resolved.
The more the emperor listened, the more gloomy his face became.
