Chapter 430

Entering October, news came from the border of Chi State that the army of Chi State launched the first war, and Daqi lost the first battle.

In November, Chi Kingdom launched several consecutive attacks, but because of the defeat in the first battle, the Daqi army was suspended from fighting and no longer confronted the opponent head-on.

However, staying behind closed doors was not the answer, the court was also turned upside down, the prince ordered again that the other two princes must immediately dispatch troops to the western border to support, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise, Wu Gangyi would be punished.

The other two princes, headed by Lord Lin Tian, ​​did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered [-] soldiers each, and then led by Ding Chen Guogong Chen Mingrui, they rushed to the western front.

However, Lin Tian is old after all, and the climate in the west is not good. It is said that after the past, he fell ill before the battle. Although the old man played a battle with illness, he did not lose. But he was also hurt.

When the officials in the court heard the battle report, they were boiling again, and suddenly a voice popped up, that is, they hope that King Cheng will come out of the mountain.

However, some people raised objections. King Cheng's army was disbanded. Even if King Cheng left the mountain, he had no army to lead. Could it be the thousands of people guarding the palace of Jingyang Mansion?
It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Shan Yumao turned a blind eye to everyone's arguments, and didn't know what he was thinking.

While everyone was arguing, news came from Jingyang that King Cheng's old injury had relapsed, and Princess Cheng was pregnant, so she was simply unable to serve as the Marshal of the Army.

Although everyone knew that King Cheng was simply pretending to be sick, there was nothing he could do about it.

In Chengqian Palace.

"Give Shan Yucheng an order to send troops immediately, otherwise he will be deceiving the emperor." Although Shan Yumao is currently in charge of the country, the jade seal is not in his hands, and he has no way to issue an edict to dispatch the officials of the court for the time being.

"I won't issue an edict..." Shan Yu Wenhao sneered and said, "If you have the ability, go to war by yourself." I have to say that Shan Yu Wenhao is very naive now, and he doesn't have any emperors at all when he speaks and does things. trend.

"You..." Shan Yumao was furious.

At the end of the year, there was heavy snowfall in the west, and Lin Tian's condition worsened, so he had to be sent back to the capital. The front line in the west was tight, and Chi Kingdom continued to attack the city, and Daqi lost three cities in one fell swoop.

The common people in the country began to denounce Shan Yu Wenhao, denounced and denounced, and the public's speech turned into demanding Shan Yu Wenhao's abdication and the crown prince's succession.

And Jingyang Chengwang Mansion.

There is an endless stream of people who come to congratulate the princess on her pregnancy every day. Everyone hopes that Princess Cheng will give birth to her little son safely.

At the same time, King Cheng's illness became more and more serious. Even the confidants sent by Shan Yumao led the imperial doctor and diagnosed that King Cheng might not be able to survive this winter.

Afterwards, the entire Jingyang Mansion was plunged into gloom.

When Shan Yumao heard the news, although he was shocked, he was happy from the bottom of his heart. He specially sent a team of imperial doctors to stay in Jingyang to take the pulse of King Cheng at any time, and at the same time monitor every move of Prince Cheng's mansion.

But the battle in the west is not optimistic, and Shan Yumao doesn't have much time to stare at Prince Cheng's Mansion, but he doesn't know that, in private, Hongxue has contacted Shangguan Ming and quietly took over the properties of Prince Cheng's Mansion in Jingyang , even the doubles of Luo Qin and others are already being cultivated.

In the twelfth lunar month, the "seriously ill" King Cheng finally closed his eyes under the torment of his illness.

Shan Yumao received the funeral report from Jingyang, and was just about to give an order to bring Princess Cheng back to the capital, but unexpectedly, there was another eight hundred li urgent report from Jingyang, that Princess Cheng had a miscarriage due to overwork, and after waking up , because he couldn't bear the news of the death of the prince and the pain of losing the child, he crashed to death in front of King Cheng's spirit.

Shan Yumao was caught off guard by the sudden news of Shan Yucheng and Hongxue's death.

However, he still didn't quite believe that Shan Yucheng would die so easily, and was about to personally go to Jingyang to find out the truth, when news suddenly came from the palace that Shan Yuwenhao had passed away.

Shan Yumao had no choice but to suspend his trip, announce his succession, set the country name Yong, and appoint Zhu Wan, the eldest daughter of Zhu Qihua, the younger brother of Prime Minister Zhu Qirong, as his successor. From then on, the Zhu family has unlimited prosperity and power.

In the first month of the first year of Yongshun, the emperor Shan Yumao personally held the palace examination. Zhang Zihua, the wife of Hongye College, was hand-picked as the second place, and a man named Lu Ankai was also hand-picked as the champion of martial arts.

On the surface, it seems that this Lu Ankai has nothing to do with the Zhu family, but if you look closely, you will find that this Lu Ankai is the younger brother of Zhu Qirong's wife, the Lu family, and has a very close connection with the Zhu family.

King Cheng had died of illness, so Shan Yumao appointed Lu Ankai as the Grand Marshal of the Army and Horses, and then commanded the 20 imperial army, and immediately rushed to the western border, and directly ordered Wu Gangyi to be deprived of his military power.

This Lu Ankai is a bit capable, after the first battle after the past, he stopped the attack of the army of the Chi Kingdom, which made the people's congress in the court heave a sigh of relief.

For such a result, Wu Lin was not surprised at all. At the same time, he felt fortunate that his son lost his military power, which meant he was far away from the core of the power struggle. At this time, it was the best.

Although Wu Gangyi didn't rush to meet his father, he still stayed behind closed doors in the Duke's mansion, ignoring all the voices and speculations from the outside world.

However, none of this has anything to do with Hongxue. Now she and Shan Yucheng are already "dead". Hidden in a southern mountain range.

She would not be so kind, to train cavalry for Shan Yumao, there are thousands of people left in the palace, but they are all old and weak soldiers, but Shan Yucheng will not leave every soldier who followed her, they are also They are gradually withdrawing from Jingyang in the same way as when the army was disbanded.

Shan Yumao sat behind the dragon case, looking at the memorial above, the more he looked behind, the uglier his face became.

In the end, he directly dropped the memorial to the ground.

"Your Majesty." Li Qiang went to pick up the memorial and persuaded him, "Why lose your temper so much?"

"This Shan Yucheng is so irritating even when he dies." The muscles on Shan Yumao's face trembled, looking a bit ferocious. In fact, he knew in his heart that what he was angry with was not because he died at this critical moment, but because he died at this critical moment. Instead, Hongxue also committed suicide along with her.

"Your Majesty, the existence of King Cheng has always been a threat. Now that he is dead, isn't it just what you want?" Li Qiang frowned, thinking, you must be thinking about his wife, but it's a pity, then The woman followed suit.

"But what about Chi Kingdom?" Shan Yumao asked with a frown.
