Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 404 Blood Phoenix (4)
However, after the death of King Lanling, the members of the Danaer royal family, whom he had long regarded as captives, were eager to try to break free from the shackles of Daqing.

Therefore, under everyone's expectations, Danar, the youngest brother of King Lanling.Samoron took the lead in gathering the Dana children who had recuperated for many years to rebel.

Da Qing has just experienced a rebellion, so it is really inappropriate to send troops from Kyoto again.Moreover, since Emperor Yuan Qing pacified the world, there has been no war in the Daqing country for ten years.Compared with Dana'er soldiers and horses who bent their bows and rode and shot day and night, they were naturally at a disadvantage.For the current plan, only Prince Yi's elite army can compete with the savage Dana'er.Prince Keyi is in the western region, Danaer is in the east mirror, the two sides are separated by thousands of miles, how to fight?Waiting for Prince Yi's troops to reach the border, I'm afraid Dana'er.Semoron has already invaded Kyoto.

For a while, the people in the court were panicked and restless.

As for Emperor Yuan Qing, he was still majestic and indifferent sitting on the dragon chair, with calm brows and eyes as calm as water.Everyone thought that after the disappearance of the queen, the emperor would lose his soul and even ignore the government affairs, but what is surprising is that Emperor Yuan Qing not only did not lose the slightest bit, but became more diligent and thrifty about political affairs, only occasionally looking at the empty seat next to him, a little dazed Absent.

Just thinking about the situation in front of him, he had no choice but to hide his longing and worry, and looked coldly at the ministers below who were talking a lot.

"Your Majesty, I have an official performance." Zuo Xiang Luo Wenqian walked out holding the Xianghu amidst the whispers of all the officials, his eyebrows and eyes were flat.The surrounding discussions suddenly stopped.

Emperor Yuan Qing's eyes did not change, "Speak!"

"In the past, the emperor thought that the people of Dana'er were honest and simple, so he treated them with courtesy for many years, but now it has only been more than ten years, and Dana'er has revenged his kindness. It is really hateful. I think that I should give a warning."

"Oh?" Emperor Yuan Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, "What suggestion does the Prime Minister have?"

Luo Wenqian was silent for a while, then raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Yuan Qing.

"Your Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence above the hall, and a needle could be heard.Many ministers bowed their heads and pretended to be deaf and dumb.Who doesn't know that Prince Jing has a deep affection for the queen, and the emperor has been taboo against Prince Jing for so many years.But now the only thing that can solve the urgent need is Prince Jing.

Emperor Yuan Qing's brows were heavy, he was not angry, and he didn't speak, but looked at Luo Wenqian with a calm face with deep eyes.

At this time, another voice sounded.

"My minister... seconded the proposal."

All the ministers were astonished, it was actually the King of Loyalty?
After a while, Prince An also came out.

"Brother Emperor, my younger brother seconded the proposal."

The officials held their breath and lowered their heads even lower.

Then, a few men in armored battle robes came out from the first row on the left, cupped their hands and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

"Second minister." All the royal family members on the right also stood up one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the Marquis of Anyang, Jingyang and the new Earl of Jingning all stood up.

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

Time slipped by little by little, and more and more ministers stood up.

"Weak ministers seconded"

"The minister agrees..."

Emperor Yuan Qing raised his eyebrows lazily until three-quarters of the ministers in the hall stood up.

"Who else wants to second?"

As soon as the words fell, the remaining quarters all knelt down.

"The minister waits for a second opinion."

Emperor Yuan Qing's eyes became darker and deeper, but King Zhongyi and Prince An suddenly knelt down.

"Please, Your Majesty, put the overall situation first."

In an instant, all the officials behind him knelt down.

"Please, Your Majesty, take the overall situation into consideration and send Prince Jing to send troops to repel the rebels."

The voice was loud, buzzing and echoing in the huge golden palace.

Emperor Yuan Qing was silent for a while, then slowly stood up.All the officials below buried their heads on the ground, and many timid ones were already sweating coldly, and their hearts couldn't help beating their hearts with fear.

It wasn't until everyone thought Emperor Yuan Qing wouldn't speak that he heard his hoarse and slightly indifferent tone.

"allow!"

"Your Majesty?" King Zhongyi was astonished, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

"The emperor is holy!" The sound of worship resounded through the hall in an instant, louder than before.

Emperor Yuan Qing lazily turned sideways and stood with one hand behind his back.

"Decree, today there is a barbarian rebellion. I appointed Prince Jing as the commander to wipe out the barbarians. I appointed General Han and General Wei as deputy generals to assist him. In addition, 3000 people from the Royal Dark Guard set out with the army to wipe out the rebels. I... ...a lot of rewards."

General Han and General Wei immediately knelt down.

"The minister obeys the order and obeys the order, and will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

"En." Yuan Qingdi waved his hand as if he was tired.

"Let's retreat."

Eunuch Shun, the head of the palace, stood up immediately and shouted loudly: "Back to the imperial court——"

The afternoon sun was plentiful and scorching, making the entire palace appear dull and low-pressure.Emperor Yuan Qing stood quietly by the Taiye Pool by himself. At this time, he had already retreated from his court clothes and changed into an ordinary Yuehua robe. He stood on the white jade arch bridge, facing the lake with his hands behind his back.

There were footsteps approaching behind him.

"Your Majesty, King Zhongyi is asking to see you."

Emperor Yuan Qing's half-closed eyes opened, his eyes were like a deep lake.

"Um"

After a while, King Zhongyi came.

"My minister sees the emperor."

Emperor Yuan Qing turned around and stared at him lightly.After a while, he waved away the guards and eunuchs who were standing a few steps away, and then said calmly, "What do you want to ask?"

King Zhongyi paused, raised his head, and saw the eyes of the man in front of him were as deep as the sea, and the expression in his eyes could not be seen clearly amidst the surging light.He couldn't help but sighed slightly.

"you--"

"You want to ask why I agreed to let the second brother lead the army?" Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yuan Qing cut him off.

King Zhongyi nodded silently, "I thought..."

Emperor Yuan Qing turned his head and looked at the sparkling water in the lake, with a sigh and melancholy in his silent expression.

"She always hoped that I could live in peace with my second brother."

King Zhongyi was startled, and finally couldn't help asking the question that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"Where is she...?"

Emperor Yuan Qing half closed his eyes and did not speak.

"Li..." King Zhongyi couldn't help calling out, and they didn't know how to match each other in private.

Emperor Yuan Qing's brows were tired, "I'm tired, you go back."

King Zhongyi opened his mouth, but Emperor Yuan Qing had already gone away lonely, his back showing inexplicable melancholy and desolation.

His eyes darkened, he sighed and turned back to the palace.Looking at the bright characters on the door plaque, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.Once upon a time, how glorious and lively the Zhongyi Palace was.How... so dirty and complicated.In the past few months, his concubines and daughters have died or disappeared.In this huge and magnificent palace, there is only nothing left of luxury and loneliness.

"My lord."

A soft voice suddenly came from the door, calling back his wandering thoughts.Looking up, I saw the woman standing at the door wearing a golden cloud smoke sweater embroidered with elegant orchids, a yellow ancient pattern double butterfly cloud-shaped thousand-water skirt, and holding a Bixia Luo peony mist gauze.Yunji E'e, wearing a hollow orchid bead hairpin, her face is as charming as the moon, and her eyes are bright and sultry, seductive.

At this moment, she was walking over with a smile, "My lord, you are back." She naturally went to hold his hand, her tone was kind and gentle.

King Zhongyi was a little dazed, looking at the beautiful and gentle face in front of him, he sighed in his heart.

"Qiudie, why did you come out?"

Lan Qiudie smiled slightly, "The concubine is here waiting for the prince to come back." Her eyes were full of affection, and she looked at King Zhongyi in love and expectation.

King Zhongyi sighed again, "What is Wu'er doing?" He walked in while talking, without breaking away from Lan Qiudie.

Lan Qiudie had a look of worry on her eyebrows, "After the eldest lady recovers from her injury, she will go to Hezhou to find the second and fourth misses every day, concubine..." She was a little embarrassed, after all, it is not easy to be a concubine.

Zhongyi Wang was silent for a while, "Since she is going, let her go."

Lan Qiudie was taken aback, "My lord?"

Turning around the promenade and looking at the fork in front of him, King Zhongyi paused.On the left is the study room, and on the right is the courtyard for Lingxi dance.

"Will the prince want to see the eldest lady?" Lan Qiudie asked for instructions very considerately.

"No need." King Zhongyi just hesitated for a while, then turned and walked to the left road, muttering to himself, "Now Hezhou is safer than the capital."

Lan Qiudie pursed her lips and said nothing. She was not a dull woman. Recently, there were frequent changes in the capital, so she naturally noticed something strange.

"Prepare more people to protect Wuer's safety."

"Yes" Lan Qiudie bowed her head in response, and followed King Zhongyi slowly away.

It wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared in front of the moon cave that Ling Xiwu came out from the shadows.She looked at the two figures leaving side by side in front of her, her eyes were slightly complicated, and the hands beside her were clenched and then loosened.

After a long time, she took a deep breath.

Mother, you can rest assured that my father has recognized me.

She turned around and looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, with a smile on her lips.

On the tenth day of August in the summer of the 20th year of Qingguo, Dongfang Dana'er.Semoron rebelled, and the reason was that King Lanling died unexpectedly and asked Emperor Yuan Qing for an explanation.Under the strong recommendation of the ministers, Emperor Yuan Qing ordered Prince Jing to be the general of the crusade. He led an army of [-] in Beijing and guarded each border town and gathered an army of [-] to resist the barbarians.The two sides fought at Yumen Pass in Dongjing, during which an inexplicable army stepped in to help Danaer.Semoron resisted with great force.As a result, the war lasted for nearly two months, both sides were injured, and Dana was the last one.Samoron and the remnant soldiers were besieged by Prince Jing in the valley, and surrendered.It is called in history (Battle of Yumenguan Crusade).

As for the army that appeared inexplicably, except for those who died in this battle, the rest all disappeared or died inexplicably.This army was called the "Soldier of Death". According to unofficial records, Emperor Yuan Qing later investigated the source of the "Soldier of Death", but he never punished it, which left a mark in this famous battle in history. The permanent gaps and flaws have made countless future generations sigh with emotion, disappointed and regretful in their hearts.

Of course, there are also unofficial records that the "death soldier" has a lot of origins.It even became the trigger for the war between Daqingguo and Wuyou City in the future, and laid the foundation for the unification of the world.

Of course, this is something for later.
