Buddhist Cultivation: Starting from Divination

Chapter 144

Under Yu Qinghan's military order.

The army stationed in Changning County immediately set off and galloped north.

On the way, Pei Xiangyun saw Yu Qinghan's serious expression, and couldn't help asking:
"Sister, do you have any new discoveries?"

Since the beginning, my sister's complexion has not been very good-looking.

Yu Qinghan frowned and said, "I have an ominous premonition that something may have happened to the capital. I got news before that all the ten states in the northern border were taken by the northern wolves. I just hope that the situation will not develop too seriously."

What she is most worried about is that before she arrives in the capital, the Shanhai Pass has been breached, so the capital will be under great pressure.

The whole North is at stake.

This is a situation she doesn't want to see.

The purpose of her going north this time was to enter the palace to face the saint and force the palace to take the throne, but when she got the news of the fall of Shizhou, the timing became urgent.

If the alien races in the north encircled Kyoto before him, the situation would be even more serious.

Even for her, it is very difficult to save the overall situation.

That's why she was so anxious to go north.

At this time, the army happened to pass through a village.

In the cracked and dry fields, a group of hungry refugees wandered on the road, their faces were lifeless, like walking corpses.

The seedlings had long since died, and even the weeds could not survive. The surrounding bark had been stripped clean, and even the surrounding soil was pitted. It seemed that someone had begun to eat the soil.

Many people dragged their families, young and old, mixed in the fleeing team, and moved forward in a daze and exhaustion.

Yu Qinghan was shocked when he saw this appearance of Chi Yeqianli.

Since the war three years ago, she has never seen such a scene under Daxia's rule.

It's the first time now.

Wasn't it just to restore peace to the world when we raised troops to fight against Yan?

She wiped out traitors, punished tyrants, and fought against great inflammation, but she couldn't see the world become a hell that cannibalize people.

Seeing this scene of human tragedy again.

Yu Qinghan couldn't help questioning himself.

When did Daxia become like Dayan?

Thinking of this, she quickly dismounted, threw the halberd to the guards beside her, and stepped forward quickly, intending to ask about the situation.

What the hell is going on?
Yu Qinghan walked up to an old man wearing a cane and wearing coarse clothes, and said as softly as possible:

"Old man, where are you from?"

"what"

The old man with crutches had a sallow and thin face, and when he heard her words, he didn't react at all, as if he was deaf, with a dazed face, he just opened his mouth slightly, and his old eyes were cloudy.

He is completely starved and fainted now, how can he find the strength to listen to what Yu Qinghan has to say.

Seeing this, Yu Qinghan said to the side:
"Xiangyun, bring some cakes."

Pei Xiangyun got the order and took a browned dry biscuit from the horse's bag.

It is impossible to eat too well on the march, it is all this kind of dried bread.

After eating, drink some water to fill your stomach quickly.

"Sister, here it is."

Yu Qinghan took the bread and gave it to the old man: "Eat it, old man."

The old man took the cake, but he didn't eat it in a hurry. Instead, he took a few steps back after taking a look at his family members with fear in their eyes. When they saw the army, they had an instinctive fear.

Especially a little girl in the hands of a woman.

Obviously, he was thinking about his granddaughter.

Seeing this scene, Yu Qinghan sighed secretly, and comforted him: "Eat quickly, we still have more, they won't be hungry."

Then he tore off the bread and stuffed it into the old man's mouth.

The old man swallowed, ate the crumbs into his mouth, and chewed with relish, with a very touched expression on his face.

As if this is some delicious feast.

Yu Qinghan looked at each other, the more sad she looked, the more she couldn't imagine it.

What the North has become today.

The old man quickly ate a piece of cake, then drank some water, and his face looked a little better.

"Thank you General."

He was finally able to speak, but his voice was very hoarse and dry, but his tone was very moving.

Seeing Yu Qinghan's attire, the old man didn't know her official position, only knew that she was called General.

"Old man, where are you all from?"

"Where are you guys going?"

Yu Qinghan did not forget to ask, pointing to the refugee road on the road.

The old man sighed deeply, and said helplessly: "There was a war in the north, and we all fled south. There were a lot of black wolves, and a lot of people died. Those people have some kind of demonic technique that can destroy the city wall."

Yu Qinghan was silent after listening.

People's life is not easy these days.

Another war broke out, which naturally made things worse.

Obviously, the army of the Northern Wolf Empire has already fought over.

Shanhaiguan is likely to have missed.

And in the Northern Wolf Empire, there are still masters sitting in command.

The old man continued: "When I passed by the capital, I heard people in the capital say that the emperor seems to have gone. Just these days, there are also many high-ranking officials and dignitaries who have gone south, and there are no less people than us."

Hearing this news, Yu Qinghan couldn't help being stunned.

Very shocked.

The emperor is gone, is it possible that the second brother is dead?
"Sister, cousin him."

On the side, Pei Xiangyun's face was also very surprised, no matter what, Yu Yunping was her cousin in name.

Besides, this is the new emperor of Great Xia.

How long has it been since he died?
"Old man, is what you said true? The emperor is dead?"

Yu Qinghan asked.

If the second brother really died, then she would be the only one left in Daxia.

"Yes!"

The old man thought for a moment, then squinted his eyes and recalled: "Many people in the capital said that, but we were kicked out after a while, because the capital does not accept refugees."

"That's why we plan to go to the south. I heard that there is a good man in the south. His name is Prince Yan. Not only is there no war there, but there are also a lot of refugees. At least we can have a meal."

"broken."

Yu Qinghan paid great attention to the old man's words, and she couldn't help muttering.

The remnants of the Great Yan, which were thought to be ineffective at the beginning, have now revived and occupied the south.

I don't know if this so-called Prince Yan is true or not.

It is undeniable that he has the ability to buy people's hearts.

In just a few days, a large number of southern states and counties joined Dayan.

Today's Dayan wakes up at an extremely fast speed, and he is short of announcing the official restoration of the country.

Now that her second elder brother died, the court must be leaderless, how could it resist the army of the Northern Wolf Empire going south?

If I don't hurry up and go to the capital, I'm afraid.
I'm afraid Daxia is really going to die.

Thinking of this, Yu Qinghan knew that he couldn't stay here any longer.

She ordered to the commander of the Changning Army on one side:

"Send a team of [-] people and escort them to the nearest city. Say it's a military order and ask the local officials to serve some porridge."

"Yes!"

After Yu Qinghan gave the order, he continued on his way.

It is impossible for her to give all the military rations to these refugees, and she has more important things to face.

Just do your best.

Pei Xiangyun was on the horse, glanced at his sister, and said worriedly:
"The Great Flame Prince"

"Regardless of him, the safety of the capital is the most important thing right now. From the current point of view, Dayan has played a role in stabilizing the situation in the south. At least no one will starve to death and let him toss."

Yu Qinghan said lightly.

"understood."

Great Xia Capital.

The new emperor passed away, and three days after the state funeral, the young master ascended the throne.

On the first day of court, facing this mess, all the officials and the young master stared with big eyes.

Although there is a monarch, it is no different from a group of dragons without a leader.

Sitting on the dragon chair was a five or six-year-old kid with a runny nose. He pinched his nose, as if he didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

With his first sentence, he said in a clear and tender voice:

"My dear friends, how do you want to be the emperor?"

The queen mother listened to the government behind the curtain.

She is also a woman, unable to make decisions.

Yu Yunping is a suspicious person, it is impossible to find an ambitious and capable woman to be the queen.

So basically, the Empress Dowager has no good solution, she can only count on the ministers below.

The young master is very young, and Yu Yunping is busy with government affairs, so he has no time to discipline his son. This has caused the young master to know nothing and is very afraid of his father.

The ministers looked at each other with embarrassment in their eyes.

Most of them wanted to run away, but only a few stayed in the capital.

They wanted to suggest escape, but they didn't dare to say it in front of so many people.

"Your Majesty, right now we should build city defenses and absorb the Guanzhong army to defend against the barbarians in the north."

At this time, a young official slowly came out.

He looks like a scholar, with a slightly handsome face, a serious face, full of righteousness, and a tall and straight figure.

Although he is tall and handsome, his official position is not very high.

"Okay, sure."

The little young master didn't understand anything, so when someone made an opinion, he agreed.

This sentence was just learned today.

The mother said, if you agree, you can agree, if you don't agree, you can discuss it again.

"It is necessary to build city defenses, but there are no dangerous guards for hundreds of miles in the capital. How can we resist the [-] wolf cavalry of the northern wolves? The entire capital, where foreigners can come and go freely, is too dangerous for His Majesty."

Finally, someone spoke up and raised the question of whether to leave or stay.

"My minister proposes that the capital be moved to Jinling Mansion. In this way, the security of His Majesty will be guaranteed only with the guards of the dangerous pass and the Guanzhong army."

Many ministers were attracted by this proposal, which is definitely the safest way.

"absurd!"

As soon as the suggestion was made, it was refuted by the young scholar just now.

"Abandoning this land of thousands of miles, abandoning millions of people, and retreating to Jinling, what is the difference between betraying the country and seeking glory!"

"Hmph! Do you want to see His Majesty being trampled by iron cavalry from other races?"

An old minister glanced at the young scholar with disdain.

The other party was obviously a disciple from a poor family promoted by Emperor Wenzong, and his idea of ​​sticking to the capital was exactly the same.

Seeing the two groups of people quarreling, the young master also had a hard time, and said in a panic:

"Oh, what should I do?"

The young scholar continued to remonstrate: "Now the hearts of the people in the north are unstable and the overall situation is in turmoil. Your Majesty should summon the highly respected veterans to come back and sit in the capital."

When the old minister heard this, he blew his beard and stared:

"It's absolutely impossible. The elders are all highly respected. They are old, how can they bother them."

The so-called elders are the old ministers under Emperor Taizu's command, including a large group of ministers who founded the country.

But after Emperor Wenzong came to power, he cleaned them up, dismissed them all, and returned home early.

One courtier per day, such things are indeed common.

Naturally, there is no need to say much about their abilities.

But they have come back, and what's the matter with my group?

"The elders have already retired, it was the decree issued by the former emperor, how can they return to the court!"

Not to be outdone, the young scholar reprimanded: "As soon as the late emperor left, you all fled before the battle, just looking south in panic. What is your intention?"

"This"

The young master looked at the two of them, not knowing who to listen to.

He could only put his eyes on the mother behind him, and asked for help in a tone.

"Mom, who should I listen to?"

The majestic Lord of the Great Xia, the king of a country, sits on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and in front of the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, he sighs and panics at every turn.

After letting the ministers see it, they felt ashamed, sighed, and felt ashamed.

Such an emperor sitting on the dragon chair of Daxia, who can hardly stabilize the officials, is far from intimidating the aliens, is just a cowardly and cowardly brat.

But they didn't feel ashamed at the idea of ​​running for their lives.

The young lord is still too young to be the lord. The only advantage is that he is obedient. If it wasn't for the fact that he is the only direct bloodline left in the Great Xia royal family, he would definitely not be able to take the throne.

Emperor Taizu came to the throne very late and did not give birth again.

The eldest prince gave birth to two daughters. After his death, they were both convicted and deposed as ordinary people.

The second prince is busy with government affairs and has only one son.

The princess went early again.

There is really no suitable candidate.

While the court was arguing endlessly, the sound of powerful footsteps came.

"Report!"

The commander of the imperial army rushed into the Golden Dragon Hall and reported loudly:

"A large army has arrived outside the capital."

"The alien race from the north came here?" A scarlet-robed minister panicked.

"It's King Jingqin's army."

The commander of the imperial army reported again, with an inexplicably excited expression, arched his hands, and raised his voice:
"The princess is back!!"

Hearing the word "princess", all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty froze.

The court suddenly fell silent.

"Which princess?"

The Queen Mother broke the silence at this moment and spoke.

She looked surprised and couldn't believe it, so she asked one more question.

"Princess Chaoyang."

Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at each other.

They know what the name means.

The daughter of Emperor Taizu, Princess Chaoyang, the one who was kicked out of the capital three years ago.

"Isn't she dead?"

"Yes, His Majesty personally examined the corpse."

"Is it real or fake?"

Some ministers talked a lot.

As early as half a year ago, Emperor Wenzong announced the death of the princess, how could it be possible to bring her back to life now?

After hearing the news, the young scholar was surprised, obviously he had heard about the princess' deeds, his face lit up with joy, and he immediately bowed:
"Your Majesty, please meet the princess!"

Another few young officials knelt down and said.

"Your Majesty, please meet the princess!"

"Your Majesty, please meet the princess!"

The young master looked at his mother again.

The queen mother glanced at these useless ministers and sighed:

"Pass her to court."

Great Xia capital.

A team of silver armored cavalry rushed under the city.

"I've seen the princess!"

The guards on both sides of the gate saluted Yu Qinghan.

Non-stop, day and night on the road, finally returned to Kyoto.

Yu Qinghan looked at the capital, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his memory returned to half a year ago.

At that time, I was rushing along the road, just to see my father for the last time.

Unfortunately, none of this wish came true.

Now she is back.

This time, no one robbed her.

"Your Majesty wants to see you."

A forbidden soldier stepped forward and clasped his fists.

"Lead the way."

Yu Qinghan said lightly.

The imperial army rode their horses to open the way.

All the Changning Imperial Army followed behind. This elite cavalry made the imperial city's imperial army daunting.

When Yu Qinghan stepped into the imperial city.

A phantom of the red-eyed golden dragon appeared in the sky, longer and bigger than the thin and thin one before, but it didn't take shape, it was just a sign.

The red-eyed golden dragon shattered immediately with a bang.

A Tianfeng's cry faintly sounded, and then fell asleep again.

Soon arrived at the gate of the Imperial Palace.

"Your Highness, please take off your armor and sword."

Yu Qinghan did as he did, and with one step of his long legs, he turned over and dismounted, and the movement of dismounting was also very powerful.

After taking off the armor and removing the sword, all that remained was a blue martial robe, which was extremely slim and showed off his figure perfectly.

With a high ponytail and a pair of ecstatic Danfeng eyes, it is full of heroism.

Golden Dragon Palace.

A woman in blue came into the minister's sight.

The straight and slim back made the left and right ministers look sideways.

Yu Qinghan raised his head and frowned when he saw the little emperor on the dragon chair.
