The imperial capital Tianjing! Bang
The palace!
In the dormitory hall, the cloud-top sandalwood beams are used as beams, crystal jade bis are used as lamps, pearls are used as curtains, and Fan Jin is used as the pillar base. A six-foot-wide agarwood bed hangs a crocodile gauze tent, embroidered with beads and silver thread begonia flowers all over the tent. When the wind blows, the gauze moves like a phantom sea falling into the clouds.
Huangfu Mingzhao lay tiredly on his side on the dragon bed, while a half-covered concubine quietly massaged the acupuncture points on Huangfu Mingzhao's head.
During this period of time, the reason why Huangfu Mingzhao often visited this concubine who was not favored at first was because this concubine was born in a family of imperial doctors. The hand massage technique passed down by the family was rare and could make Huangfu Mingzhao feel a little... Rare peace!
However, tonight is destined to be an uneventful night!
Several people wearing official robes were walking hurriedly in the palace. The official robes on their bodies could be seen slightly scattered. It was obvious that these officials were very anxious along the way and did not even have time to tidy up their appearance.
After these people came to the palace and whispered a few words to the eunuch at the door, the eunuch began to change his expression! Bang
"Your Majesty, the North and South Yamen Ning will not give up. The two Yamen Lords Shang Zhengluo, Left Prime Minister Su Zesu, and the Minister of War... please see me!" Eunuch Li spit out seven or eight names at once, and these seven or eight people were all The seven or eight ministers who were at the forefront of the court gathered together late at night to ask for an audience, which was enough to show how anxious things were.
"Xuan!" Huangfu Mingzhao also noticed that things were unusual and immediately signaled.
"Why did you, dear friends, come here late at night?" After several people came in one by one, Huangfu Mingzhao took the initiative to ask before they even had time to salute, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
It's late at night, and with these people coming, something big is definitely happening! Moreover, at such a critical time, something big happened, and looking at the expressions of these people, you knew it was not a good thing!
"Your Majesty! Nan Ya came to report that the old emperor died in battle, and the Champion Battalion... the Champion Battalion was completely wiped out!"
Among the several people, you looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Shang Zhengluo stood up helplessly. Who made him the first person to handle this piece of information?
"Pfft!"
After Huangfu Mingzhao heard the news, he moved his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but such a shocking news hit him, and even he was confused for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.
In just such a moment, Huangfu Mingzhao's face turned red and a large mouthful of blood spurted out, scaring the ministers below to shout "Imperial Physician" one by one.
It took a while to calm down, and after learning that Huangfu Mingzhao was just upset because of the sudden bad news, it was nothing serious and he just needed a good rest, many of the courtiers felt at ease.
If something happens to the emperor at this time, there is no need for them to fight in the next battle. They can just wash their necks and wait for others to chop off their heads.
After a while, Huangfu Mingzhao woke up and cried out in pain, "I am so sad that I have lost a pillar of my country!"
Huangfu Yue's death in battle cast a shadow of gloom over the hearts of everyone in Huangfu Mingzhao's court. Chu Xizhao, one of the most skilled generals in the world, has passed away. Now Huangfu Yue has been lost. Among the generals, there is still Who can lead the armies to sweep away enemies from all directions?
The fall of powerful generals such as Huangfu Tai, Huangfu Yue, Huangfu Qiye, and Huangfu Wugui one by one was also a huge blow to the royal family. Talents like these four people are not cultivated even by the royal family. If one of them dies, there will be one less! Bang
Every time someone dies in battle, the royal family's heritage is weakened by one point.
Many important ministers were originally planning to discuss countermeasures with Huangfu Mingzhao, but looking at Huangfu Mingzhao's behavior, this time did not seem to be a good time, and they could only retreat one by one. Only one Shang Zhengluo was ready to leave. When he arrived, he was suddenly stopped by Huangfu Mingzhao.
"What's wrong with the prince?" Huangfu Mingzhao forced himself to do something, and after calling all the eunuchs and maids away one by one, he asked with a cold face.
"Your Majesty, the prince has been secretly sent away by the old prince. Once your majesty puts an end to the rebellion, you can welcome your young highness back to the court." Shang Zhengluo bowed his body and reported back.
Before the Champion Battalion attacked, Huangfuyue had already hidden the current prince in the army and secretly sent him out.
Huangfu Yue calmly analyzed the current situation to Huangfu Mingzhao, but in fact it was not optimistic. With groups attacking from all sides, it would be too difficult to win.
In particular, the three kings only came to the throne, and the purpose behind Tianshi Dao, Zhenxi, and Wang Yu was probably to kill their Huangfu clan. Zhenbei still needs to be destroyed by Shang. Bang
The Huangfu family also needs to be prepared. If anything happens, they will send the prince out and leave such a bloodline, so that there is a possibility of resuming the dynasty in the future.
Of course, Huangfu Yue just said this to Huangfu Mingzhao. If there is any emergency, even if he wants revenge, can he tolerate such a childish person? The remaining strength of the Huangfu family is not as good as choosing one of the three kings, Huangfu Mingze, and Huangfu Mingfeng to support him!
To put it bluntly, although these people are now traitors and the old emperor doesn't have the slightest fondness for them, in the end, if it really doesn't work, he can only let a few of them go. It is better to have meat rotten in your own pot than to end up in someone else's bowl. Even if one of these people rises to power, it is better than the world of the Huangfu family falling into the hands of someone with a foreign surname.
What Huangfu Yue couldn't bear was that if something happened in the end, Huangfu Mingzhao's lineage would always leave them a bloodline. After all, he is still the orthodox emperor of Da Cang.
Moreover, not only the current prince, but also Wang Xuanba, his godson, was sent out by him, which is why Wang Xuanba did not appear on the battlefield in the end.
The old prince had no children in his life, so the closer ones among his godsons were really raised as his biological sons!
Tianlong General Wang Zun ranked first among the three dragons, seven tigers and twelve eagles and dogs, and he was the biological son among biological sons. But the whole family has dedicated their lives to the great Cang, and only one bloodline is left, and they are in the current situation because of the fetal movement when the mother was still in the womb. Bang
Although Huangfuyue was decisive in killing on the battlefield, he could not do the same outside the battlefield. He could not bear to annihilate the Wang family, so at the critical moment, he asked Wang Xuanba to run away with him.
Perhaps, it is precisely because Huangfu Yue has so many human weaknesses that although he has almost reached the peak of power in his life, he still has a difficult life.
