Outside the palace city.
The New Year is approaching, and the shops on the street have opened their doors early. The distant east is already filled with a wisp of purple air!
The sound of horse hooves in the distance couldn't help but attract the attention of the people along the street. After all, riding horses is prohibited in the capital!
And looking at that man's attire and wearing a red feather, his expression changed!
"It's actually an eight-hundred-mile emergency!"
"He's from the south!"
"Hey! It's the Chinese New Year soon, so don't let anything happen!"
Many people are praying secretly. Kyoto is full of joy now, but no more bad news will spread!
"Eight hundred miles south is urgent. His Royal Highness King Xuan Yong has given a golden order to open the palace gate as soon as possible!"
"Get off your horse and unload your sword!"
The imperial guard guarding the palace gave a low shout. Without saying a word, the scout got off his horse and threw the knife hanging from his waist to the ground as he ran!
Arriving in front of the Zhengde Hall, the scout looked at the Taihuang Bell with a hint of fire in his eyes!
"clang!"
"clang!"
The crisp bells completely broke the silent morning, and figures woke up from their sleep and looked towards the palace wall!
All civil and military officials immediately climbed down from their beds and rushed to the palace without stopping!
Prince Xuanyong's Mansion.
Zhuge Liang slowly walked out of the thatched cottage, with a sparkle in his eyes, and murmured: "It seems there is news from the south!"
"Kong Ming!"
While he was pondering, he saw Chen Gong and Jia Xu also appearing in the courtyard of the thatched cottage.
"It seems that my lord will teach you a lesson soon!"
"Um!"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and said softly: "It will be the New Year's Eve in half a month, and His Royal Highness King Sheng will soon arrive in Beijing!"
“However, I’m afraid the sealing issue will have to wait until after the new year!”
"not necessarily!"
Jia Xu shook his head slightly and said meaningfully: "I'm afraid it's not just His Royal Highness King Sheng. I heard that His Majesty is calling all the vassal princes from all over the country back to the capital this year!"
"It seems that we are ready to set up a savings account!"
"hehe!"
Chen Gong said with a confident smile: "Now that my lord is about to return south, I am afraid that the position of prince is inevitable!"
"Among His Majesty's seven adult sons, only the Emperor's eldest son, Prince Sheng, is young and ranks as a prince!"
"My lord, it is very likely that he is the second one!"
As soon as Chen Gong finished speaking, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, "The position of prince is to serve the public. As for establishing the crown prince, the key lies with your majesty!"
"yes!"
Jia Xu also had a look of emotion on his face!
The third prince, King Qi Lin, died three years ago!
As for the fourth prince, Changyang Wang Ningshu, his mother and concubine were in frail health, so they were pardoned by Emperor Yu to stay in the capital!
The fifth and sixth elders are currently training in the Western Army, and they have the courage to imitate the emperor's eldest son and become the king in one fell swoop!
As for the seventh child, he has just grown up now. After the new year, it is time for him to die!
"Kong Ming, in your opinion, is that person in the palace wary of the Lord?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang also fell into deep thought. After a long time, he whispered softly: "It is necessary to be careful, but your Majesty does not seem to mind the life experience of my lord!"
"Besides, Concubine Xian is not as simple as we thought!"
Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded in agreement. He was in charge of the Black Ice Platform, so naturally he could know some secrets that others didn't know!
…
The palace!
Emperor Yu was also awakened by the sound of the bells. Wei Ying hurried in and whispered: "Your Majesty, there is news from the south!"
"When did the bell ring?"
"Seven...seven rings!"
Without saying a word, Emperor Yu stood up and walked towards the Zhengde Hall. As he walked, he asked, "How is the battle in the south?"
"It is said... that the scout returned to Beijing this time to report his victory!"
"However, I haven't seen the scout yet, so the news is not very clear!"
"Um!"
With a calm expression on his face, Emperor Yu strode into the Zhengde Hall, surrounded by a group of people!
"clang!"
When the last bell fell, Emperor Yu's figure also appeared outside the palace, with a hint of complexity in his eyes!
Taking a deep breath, he strode into the main hall. A group of civil and military officials had gathered, and they were discussing!
"The Emperor's Bell rings nine times!"
"Is this going to start a national war?"
"It's just nonsense. The Emperor's Bell is my divine weapon to control the country. How can I touch it lightly?"
"Could it be that something happened in the southern region...?"
Emperor Yu stepped onto the dragon chair, glanced around, and with a loud shout, he saw a figure rushing in!
"Report!"
"Victory in the southern border of 800 miles, Zhen Guogong's army destroyed the main southern barbarian army and annihilated 400,000 enemies!"
"The Barbarian King's city was destroyed and the Barbarian King was captured!"
As the scout spoke, he took off the mailbox containing the good news and handed it over!
The entire hall was completely silent at this moment. Even Wei Ying, who was preparing to submit a letter, and Emperor Yu, who was sitting at the top, fell into a daze at this moment!
"Little general...you...what did you say?"
Right Minister Shen Li was the first to react and looked at the scout in disbelief!
"Reporting to your lord, a great victory in the south!"
"His Royal Highness King Xuanyong broke through the Man King's city twice, and used a series of clever tactics to defeat the Southern Barbarians several times in a row, until he completely wiped out the 400,000-strong army!"
"The Barbarian Emperor has been captured, and now the army is returning to the court!"
Hearing the scout's words, Emperor Yu happened to receive the good news. His hands couldn't help but started to tremble, but he tried to stay calm and stared at the letter in his hand!
The eyes of all the courtiers were also focused on Emperor Yu. At this moment, there was only the sound of rapid breathing in the entire hall!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
With an almost maniacal laugh, Emperor Yu strode down the jade steps and said loudly: "A great victory in the south, my son has the appearance of a unicorn!"
"Let the whole world celebrate together and the whole world rejoice!"
"From now on, there will be no war in the southern region for ten years!"
"Be a big lottery!"
Hearing Emperor Yu's words, all the courtiers reacted one after another. Shen Li and Lin Qiushi both took a step forward: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
The ministers also looked extremely excited, annihilating 400,000 enemies, capturing the Barbarian Emperor, and conquering the Southern Barbarian Imperial Capital!
This was an unprecedented victory for Dayu!
Half an hour later, an edict came from the palace, and people all over the world were excited!
The shops in the middle of the capital were decorated with lights and decorations. There was a wealthy businessman named Shen who spent a hundred thousand taels to buy the entire capital's red cloth and colorful strips!
Send thousands of jars of fine wine for the people in Beijing to drink!
…
The entire city of King Yu was filled with an atmosphere of joy, and all the ministers in the court also walked out of the palace city one after another and went to the various government offices in groups!
In a luxurious mansion outside the palace city, there are three gilt characters hanging on the door plaque: King Changyang!
This is the residence of Ning Shu, the fourth prince of Dayu!
"boom!"
"boom!"
Crisp sounds filled the dim hall, and along with the chaotic sounds, the entire hall became a mess in an instant!
"How could this loser achieve such great achievements?"
"He can't even pull a bow string, and he can't sit firmly on his horse. When will he be able to mount his horse and kill the enemy?"
"ah?"
…
