At the beginning of the 26th year of Yongxing, the new emperor of Shengxuan Kingdom ascended the throne, attacked the eastern border of our country, and officially started war with our dynasty.The so-called new emperor naturally does not refer to Li Qing, because he is no longer "new".

Li Qing, this useless thing, has accumulated capital for more than ten years, but it was gone in less than a year, and it was like a stomachache.Li Qing was defeated in the battle and was captured alive by the Eighth Prince and placed under house arrest, making the dynasty with the shortest life span in the history of Shengxuan Kingdom.The Eighth Prince ascended the throne as emperor, and the first thing he did after taking office was to beat us up.

Because our dynasty's defense in the east is extremely weak, [-]% of our troops are devoted to the battlefield against the Turks.With such a beating by Sheng Xuanguo, we were directly penetrated into the hinterland.The city fell continuously, and the one who took the lead in attacking us was Pei Guogong who had turned to the Eighth Prince.

I had no choice but to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and ordered Wei Yunlang, who was stationed in the northeast, to mobilize nearly half of the troops to block the hole in the east.Ashina was still being dragged in the northwest. Hearing that we were beaten by Sheng Xuanguo, there was a faint tendency to retreat and change direction to continue gnawing.I was afraid that there would be insufficient troops in the Northeast, so I had to ask Uncle Wei to find a way to transfer some people from the Northern Army to be evenly matched with his son's troops, and try not to let the wolves in by leaking too much hole.

The situation was grim, Ashina's hand came in, and Sheng Xuanguo's hand also came in.I was twisted by these two rascals, I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't fight back.The court began to question Zhong Bochen's strategy at that time, which made our court passive, and many people wrote to impeach Zhong Bochen.I mobilized the Jiugao Mansion for a secret negotiation, and I asked a unified question—where did the new emperor of Shengxuan Kingdom get so much energy to beat us?

Zhong Bochen said that there is definitely a lot to read here.Although Li Qing is a mud-legged person, being able to survive the battle for succession proves that he is capable.Even if you lose, you shouldn't lose so quickly.What's more, Shengxuan Kingdom's treasury was so empty after years of wars, how could the Eighth Prince choose to fight us right after the civil war ended, even without securing the throne?This is not logical in any way.The only conjecture that can barely explain what the new emperor Sheng Xuanguo did is that he joined forces with Ashina a long time ago and planned to eat us together.

I was so anxious that a boil developed on the tip of my nose, which was red and shiny.Could it be that Sheng Xuanguo and my dynasty are destined to have such a war?Are we going to die at his hand again?The most terrible thing is that now our good country has been divided into three battlefields, and there are not enough generals.No one can stand up to control the eastern battlefield and beat Sheng Xuanguo out.The court was still busy impeaching Zhong Bochen, so they were having a good time playing in the nest.I chatted with everyone in Jiugao Mansion for a whole night to no avail, and in the end it was Zhong Bochen who broke the deadlock—he asked himself to lead his troops to resist Shengxuan Kingdom.

I subconsciously wanted to say no.Zhong Bochen is still a civil servant in my heart, no matter how capable he is, he is still a civil servant.Besides, I was terrified of putting him in.It is not known how much family background the new emperor of Shengxuan Kingdom actually has.What if he never returns from this battle.

Unfortunately, I have to admit that this is the most feasible solution.Even if I keep Zhong Bochen by my side, I can't keep him.Over the years, the eyes staring at Zhong Bochen have not diminished for a day, and now he has finally been caught by someone, and he is afraid that he will be stripped of his skin.Let him out to fight, redeem his merits, and stop everyone's mouths.Besides, only he can turn the tide in the court.

Yu Qing, I just want to run away with him on my shoulders and find a place where no one is around to hide.However, because of my responsibility, I could only order a secret reward and agreed to his self-recommended expedition.

Zhong Bochen left in a hurry, and set off without even packing his bags.Before leaving, he asked me if I could give him the "Li" waist card.I gave him the waist card, pulled a lock of hair from my sideburns, found a small lotus and packed it in.I said this is for you as a lucky item, not for you to use it as a flag to set yourself up and disappear, you can know it.Zhong Bochen said that although he didn't know what "Flaige" was, it was impossible for him to be so cool.Asking me for some personal items is just to understand the pain of lovesickness, and I hope His Highness can keep himself as jade, don't be impatient with loneliness, and make some shameful things with one of your courtiers.

After finishing speaking, Zhong Bochen glared at Su Che who came to see him off.Holding the wine, Su Che was terrified, as if he heard a lot of incredible information in Zhong Bochen's words, and he would not be able to digest it for a while.While Su Che was in a daze, Zhong Bochen had already turned his head and left, without drinking or looking back, as if he was going back home like usual, striding away.I watched his back in silence, and when he was too far away to see clearly, I turned around and went back to the Jiaming Palace, as if everything was as it was before.

It's just that since that day, I have never had a full night's sleep.

Zhong Bochen left like this for a whole year.Shengxuan Kingdom's attack was successfully resisted, but Shengxuan Kingdom's foot was still on our land, and he had no intention of moving out at all.We once again had a heated discussion about where Sheng Xuanguo got so much energy. Not long after the discussion, Zhong Bochen suddenly sent back a letter, but a few words revealed a fact like a bolt from the blue.

It was not Ashina who supported the new emperor of Shengxuan Kingdom to fight us, but the eldest prince of Qi Kingdom, the elder brother of Princess Chunxi.

This news was also confirmed by Liu Di.The king of Qi State is old, and all the princes are fighting for the throne. The eldest prince of Qi State relies on the power in the court to outshine the others, and works hand in hand with the new emperor Shengxuan, trying to divide our territory evenly when our dynasty is weakest, because we have what they most want. Things - mines.But Qi Guoguo has been kept in the dark, and when he found out, it was already too late.

The direction of the wind has completely changed.The new emperor of Shengxuan Kingdom has a big benefactor, which is enough to spend an eternity with us; our dynasty has lost the foreign aid of Qi Kingdom, and we have become isolated and helpless.Zhong Bochen suggested that it would take another half a year, and if there is no turning point, the capital should be moved to the south immediately to preserve strength and avoid being besieged by three battlefields.However, the ministers thought that it was not a good thing to have my elder brother in the south, and he couldn't run now, so he had to wait to die.

With gloomy clouds and panic, I stepped forward to my only eldest son, Comrade Cen Man, and wrote a letter to his father——Dad, can you let my fifth uncle go to your nest to take refuge?

I intercepted the letter halfway, and added a sentence on the back: "Brother, the country is about to perish, don't do it, the throne is here for you, please go out and beat these little bastards."

My elder brother soon returned the second letter home in his life.To say that his first family letter was very concise, with only three words "no more", then this second family letter is even more concise, with only one word at the top:

"roll".

At the end of the 27th year of Yongxing, Ashina attacked the border again and moved to the northeast.Our army is short of troops, so the battle with Shengxuan country can only be shelved temporarily, and the troops will be transferred back to the northeast again.Zhong Bochen said helplessly: "I can't take it anymore." I sighed and replied: "Let's withdraw."Then Sheng Xuanguo, who had just been pushed down, jumped back like a spring.Zhong Bochen led his troops back to the innermost line of defense, defending our heart area.Unexpectedly, however, my elder brother, the "old otaku", finally showed his face and led his troops towards the triumphant Shengxuan Kingdom. backup.

Big brother's play is similar to the gods descending to earth, which made me see hope again.I was very excited, and the courtiers were even more excited, so in the second month after my elder brother went to war, more than a dozen ministers of the fifth rank and above ran to my elder brother, wanting to respect him as the emperor.

After I heard about it, I quickly wrapped the jade seal and waited for my eldest brother to give it to him the day he entered Hongmeng City.The veterans are very satisfied with me who knows the current affairs and is a hero. Only the people of Jiugao Mansion defended me and asked if they had forgotten how His Royal Highness the Regent supported the court with all his might and punished corrupt officials.King Chong has lived in the southern court for so many years, when did he manage you, but now you have won only one battle, you are going to defect, you are really a bunch of fools.

But the grasshoppers said that the regent has no objection, what are you beeping about.So the people in Jiugao Mansion asked me to set up rules to punish these disrespectful courtiers.When did I come back here and still worry about such things, my eldest brother wants to be the emperor, I raise my hands in favor, you have time to think about where you can get the food and salary.

I never thought that I didn't set the rules, but my elder brother did.Not long after, my elder brother delivered a big package to me, and packed and mailed back the heads of the courtiers who had gone to join him.The bumps on the road were so bad that these heads were almost unrecognizable, like the heads of smoked pigs for use.

The weeds were so frightened that they fell to the ground, hugging my calf and crying, asking me to keep the jade seal away, and don't give it to King Chong.I kicked these dog-skin plasters away, and held a long meeting with the people from Jiugao Mansion.Shengxuan State and Qi State, the two major grain trading countries, have all turned against each other, and the grain produced by our country is only enough to support the eastern battlefield.If the battle continues like this, sooner or later we will run out of ammunition and food.

Su Che suggested that now we have only one way left—to buy food from the Turkic people.Of course, it refers to the Turkic people, not Ashina. There are always some people who want money and life, and dare to sell things under Ashina's nose.I immediately thought of Alan Sang, and wondered if her tribe had slowed down in the past few years.If Alan San can sell us some food, the chances of winning this battle will be increased by a few points.

I left Su Che behind and waved away the others.I told Su Che about the secret cooperation with Alan Sang, and gave him the belt card of the regent king and Alan Sang's jade pendant, and asked him to leave immediately with the things to find Uncle Wei at the northern border, expressing his willingness to use spirit Iron in exchange for food.

Su Che left for nearly half a month, and finally brought back the news.With the help of Uncle Wei, he successfully connected with Alan Sang.Alan Sang is willing to use cattle and sheep as food to exchange fine iron with us. The problem is how we can bring things in.Ashina blocked the border, and it was impossible for him not to grab such a large batch of food and salaries.I also thought of a lot of countermeasures, among which the funniest but most reliable method is to dig tunnels.

However, we obviously don't have time to dig holes.In the early autumn of the following year, Ashina concentrated all his forces on one point and attacked the northeast frantically.Wei Yunlang defended the city for several months. After eating up all the food, he began to pick up turf and tree roots, and it seemed that he could not hold on.Misfortunes never come singly, Zhong Bochen and his eldest brother teamed up to besiege Shengxuan Kingdom on the eastern border, and they were about to completely push it into the ground. Unexpectedly, the eldest prince of the State of Qi put all his efforts into supporting Shengxuan Kingdom.The entry of [-] elite soldiers from Qi State instantly reversed the situation of the battle.

The eldest brother and Zhong Bochen were beaten back inch by inch.Zhong Bochen sent three military newspapers in a row, asking me to move the capital to the south immediately.Even the eldest brother sent a message back, he opened the door of the Southern Court, and told me to quickly pack up and hide in.Half of the ministers in the imperial court had already transported their family members to the south, and many of them ran away secretly.The number of people who came to the early court dropped sharply, and soon it became the full power of the Jiugao Mansion to support the entire court.

Zhong Bochen sent a fourth letter asking me to move the capital immediately.Because of the clear reply from the sixth younger brother, the eldest prince of Qi State has jumped the wall in a hurry, and a second batch of people will enter the country soon.The reason is very simple, the eldest prince of the Qi State put the old monarch under house arrest, so he thought he could sit back and relax.Who would have thought that the old monarch was scheming and showing weakness on the surface, but in fact, when the restless eldest son of his family was doing something, he cut off the eldest son's future.The King of Qi State reprimanded the eldest prince for being unfaithful, unrighteous and unfilial. After seeing that he was completely locked in the battlefield of our country, he concentrated the whole country's troops to "King Qin".

Qi Guoguo "father beat his son" in the country, and beat the child to death.There is a way to be tough, fear of death, the prince of Qi Guo is now a desperado, determined to gnaw at our hard bone, robbed our territory and set up his own family.He even discussed with Sheng Xuanguo and Ashina how to divide us up, and he didn't treat us as human beings at all.We finally became salted fish on the chopping board, chopped several times and sprinkled salt on the wound.

Zhong Bochen said that there is only one way to go now, and that is to consume.The joint army of Prince Qi and Shengxuan is about to run out of supplies, as long as the prince of Qi is exhausted and the King of Qi bites his tail from behind, the situation in the east can be reversed.

The problem is that we have no money to spend.Wei Yunlang's troops began to starve to death, Ashina finally took advantage of our low morale and broke through the northeast border.All the Northeast Waiguan were lost, and the Northeast Army was severely damaged.Wei Yunlang retreated to Neiguan.And so far, my territory has been shrunk by half.It seems that the country is doomed.

I sat in the lifeless Huaguang Hall, watching the sparse ministers bow their heads in silence.Finally, I finally made up my mind - not to move the capital.

Anyone can withdraw, but we can't, no, I can't.Once the capital is moved, the defenders everywhere will become overwhelming.At that time, in the east, the coalition forces of Shengxuan State and Qi State will not be involved; in the north, Ashina will rush all the way along the northeast.If the two of them formed a ring and completely surrounded us, then there would be no point in moving the capital, and we would be eaten to the brim.

Dead end, downright dead end.I looked down at the armrest of the dragon chair, touched it lightly, and my mood was unexpectedly calm.I got up and bowed deeply to the ministers who stayed at the end: "I'm sorry."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials looked at me silently, and suddenly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground and shouted: "At least let the humble minister have a mouthful... Long live my emperor...!"

Immediately afterwards, all the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted long live the emperor.The resplendent and resplendent hall was dumbfounded by their shouts of long live, and I suddenly regretted it. I knew that they wanted an emperor so much, and I should have been enthroned as emperor from the very beginning.Can't change anything anyway.

I was in a daze when Xu Changzhi suddenly ran into the hall and reported in a low voice, "Your Highness...the Empress Dowager has passed away...I want to see you for the last time..."

Is the queen mother going to leave after all?Thinking about it, she seemed to have lived a few years longer than her previous life.I hesitated for a while, but went to see her anyway.

The author has something to say:
