The second battle came fiercely, and gunpowder exploded one after another. Meng Hetong saw with his own eyes that Xu Yanquan, who was not far away, was blown away. He rushed forward with red eyes, but heard Yu Sheng's cry: "General, run quickly , the landslide... the landslide..."
Meng Hetong turned back with a confused look on his face. The snow-capped mountains behind him were rushing towards him.
What Meng Hetong wanted to say, snow had already poured into their mouths...
In the dead of night, the rapid sound of horse hooves echoed through the streets, and many people lit the lights at hand.
The messenger took the urgent report from the border and rushed into the palace overnight.
The emperor, who had been resting, suddenly opened his eyes. He sat up suddenly, his forehead covered with sweat. The palace man felt strange and stepped forward softly: "Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare?"
"Is there any news from the border?" the emperor suddenly asked.
The palace man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I haven't heard any news! Didn't I just win the first battle a few days ago? Even if there is, it should be good news!"
"Report! Report! Report!" After three "reports" in a row, the palace man's expression suddenly changed. The emperor was so excited that he ran under the bed and walked out without even putting on his shoes: "What happened!"
While they were talking, the palace servants had already dressed the emperor, and someone was reporting outside: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border!"
After all, the emperor was a person who had experienced big events, so he could naturally remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai. When he finished packing and walked into the imperial study room, he glanced at the soldiers kneeling on the ground and squeezed his hand. , and then said: "Say!"
"Northern Xinjiang was defeated. Generals Xu and Meng encountered an ambush when they charged. The enemy ignited gunpowder. General Xu was injured and is now unconscious. General Meng escaped the explosion, but did not want the gunpowder to cause an avalanche. , and now the person has disappeared! Ning Yuanhou and General Xu Er went to search the mountains and encountered heavy snow, and were trapped and missing!" When the soldier reported, his voice was trembling.
Missing!
The emperor's body was swaying a little, but fortunately he grabbed the chair next to him immediately and stabilized his body: "Who is in charge of the overall situation now?"
"It's His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and the guard Fang Cheng!"
The emperor squeezed his hands tightly, and after a long time he said: "Get off and have a good rest first!"
After the soldiers responsible for delivering the message left, civil and military officials were introduced to the palace one after another.
The main general is missing, and one of the two lieutenants is injured and the other is buried in an avalanche and is missing. In addition, these two lieutenants, one is Yongchang Hou and the other is not only the prince of Ningyuan Hou, but also the husband of Princess Zhengyang. This matter After it was smashed down, everyone was panicked, but now, the most important thing is that the people sent to the northern Xinjiang to support there are no generals.
The emperor looked at the dark heads in front of him and suddenly swept the pen and ink on the table to the ground: "It's a joke, it's a joke. You are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and you actually asked me to negotiate a peace! Make a peace! Northern Xinjiang has humiliated Zhaoyang, and now it's even more... You, the literati sons of bitches, who brutalized our generals and people, actually told me to negotiate peace with you!"
The emperor's thunderous anger made everyone shut up.
When the emperor was young, he relied on his fame to gain favor in front of the late emperor. He had always preferred military generals, and was extremely disgusted with the attitude of civil servants who always wanted to calm down. Now that he saw them saying this, he was even more angry and his eyes darkened. Finally, He actually fainted.
The emperor woke up in the evening, and the only people standing by his side were the queen and Princess Zhengyang who hurriedly entered the palace. Princess Zhengyang sat aside. Seeing that the emperor woke up, she stepped forward with red eyes: "Father, you finally You’re awake, I’ll call the doctor right away!”
The emperor grabbed Princess Zhengyang's hand: "Don't go, just call your queen mother over!"
Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly went to find the queen.
The queen came at a trot. At this time, she couldn't care about her manners. As soon as she knew that something happened at the border, the emperor was carried back from the imperial study. The queen was very frightened, but she was a member of the harem. Lord, I can only bite the bullet and take charge of the overall situation.
When the emperor saw the queen coming, he breathed a sigh of relief: "What did the imperial doctor say?"
"You are so angry that your Majesty can't continue to work any longer. You need to take a good rest!" The Queen said directly without hiding anything.
"Has the prince been here?" The emperor mentioned the prince without answering.
The queen's eyes darkened: "I'm here!"
"What did you say?" The emperor frowned.
"The general meaning is that if His Majesty insists on fighting this battle, he can lead the troops there, but now that the border has been defeated, it is time to negotiate a peace..."
"Get out!" The emperor was so angry that he was about to sit up.
Fortunately, the queen held the emperor's hand and comforted her softly: "Your Majesty, there is someone I wonder if you would like to meet?"
The emperor took a deep breath, then looked at the queen: "Xu Qingmo?"
The queen was very surprised: "How did your majesty know?"
The emperor smiled bitterly: "The world is at peace. All the men in the court have developed timid and fearful tempers. Whoever dares to rush in front of me at this time will know that little girl from the Xu family who is not afraid of death!" "
"Accompanying him are the second master of the Yan family and the He family of Qingyuan!" The queen said word by word, "The Yan family and the Xu family are here to ask for a fight. As for the He family, they have prepared thousands of taels of gold. , used to fill the national treasury!”
The emperor's face was filled with disbelief, and then he looked at the queen: "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, please meet them!" The corners of the Queen's eyes turned slightly red.
The emperor raised his hand: "Help me up!"
Xu Qingmo and his party walked up to the emperor. She lowered her eyes and knelt down slowly: "Qingmo, daughter of the Xu family, is here to ask for a fight. She is willing to go to northern Xinjiang to support the battle!"
"Wei Chen is willing to assist the daughter of the Xu family to go to Northern Xinjiang!" Yan Shaojun knelt there and spoke eloquently.
"It's snowing and the mountains are closed. I'm afraid that your daughter's house won't even be able to enter the battlefield. Let's forget about your nonsense. Why do you two uncles accompany you to fool around together?" The emperor frowned and looked at the face in front of him. Shao Jun and He Anye, "Especially you, if you don't stay well in Hangzhou, what are you doing in the capital?"
When He Anye was called by name, he said: "Wei Chen has a son who has failed in many trials. It was Ning Yuanhou who wrote a letter to advise Wei Chen. He has three hundred and sixty lines. If he becomes the number one scholar, Wei Chen will let him do what he wants. However, he did not expect that in just one or two years, he would rely on the Hangzhou Canal to do business in full swing! It was he who used these ten thousand taels of gold to support the national destiny and the Xu family!"
The emperor looked at Xu Qingmo in front of him: "Xu Qingmo, do you think that my great Zhou Dynasty is so bad that there are no men left? Why don't you, a weak woman, go to the battlefield? Even if the civil and military forces of this dynasty are useless, even if I personally conquer them , and it’s impossible for your daughter’s family to go to the battlefield!”
