Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"puff!"

Li Shiming groaned and was no longer able to fight back.

He covered his wound and staggered back.

Chu Ze showed no mercy and chopped down with his knife again, hitting Li Shiming on the back of the neck.

With a loud bang, Li Shiming fell down.

This time, there was no power to resist at all.

He fell to the ground, raised his head with difficulty, and looked at her with resentment.

"My son, the Crown Prince, is the true Dragon Son of Heaven! He should rule the world and enjoy a legacy that will last for generations! But now, he has fallen to this point. It's all because of you!"

When talking about sad things, Li Shiming burst into tears, filled with grief and anger.

"You are a tyrant, and you have prevented my son from taking the throne. Today I will fight you to the death, even at the cost of my son's life!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly bit the poison sac hidden in his mouth.

He suddenly vomited blood and died in a miserable way.

Chu Ze looked at this scene and felt mixed emotions.

It turns out that the great enemy lurking around him is actually the prince's biological father.

He refused to repent until his death and was so stubborn that he was willing to risk his life for his son.

A great hero of his generation passed away in such a tragic way.

Chu Ze sighed softly and turned around slowly.

He looked around at his ministers and said loudly, "My dear ministers, I have seen everything that happened today."

"Although the Crown Prince is my eldest son, he is not the true Son of Heaven. If he ascends the throne, I am afraid that the country will not last long!"

After saying this, Chu Ze stared at the prince and spoke earnestly.

"My son, although you are not the heir to the throne, you are also my blood. From now on, you must cultivate yourself, assist the new emperor, and be a model for the country, so as not to disappoint me!"

Upon hearing this, the prince burst into tears.

He fell to his knees with a plop, his voice choking with sobs: "Your son will follow the teachings of the emperor and swear to be loyal to the new emperor until death. This is unwavering!"

"very good!"

Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction.

He was just about to give orders to clean up the mess when an urgent report came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, it's bad! A hundred thousand troops from Western Xia are approaching our borders, and officials from the imperial court are collaborating with the enemy and rebelling one after another. Our Song Dynasty is in imminent danger!"

Chu Ze was furious when he heard this. The illusion before his eyes was instantly shattered, and the cruel reality enveloped him again.
Will there be any follow-up to this palace coup?

The Western Xia were eyeing the country covetously, and there were many spies lurking in the court.

The situation is so serious. How should I, the new emperor who has just ascended the throne, respond and save the country from collapse?

Thinking of this, Chu Ze couldn't help but feel worried.

He looked at the queen and the ministers beside him and slowly exhaled.

"Pass on my imperial decree, order Yu Dayan to lead the army to go to war, take strict precautions, and do not let Xixia have the slightest chance to take advantage of you!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Yunyun and the prince again and said solemnly: "The queen and the prince will stay in the capital to assist me in ruling the court."

"My dear ministers, each of you should perform your duties and work together. The Song Dynasty depends on this battle! The safety of the country depends on you! I will work with you to build a prosperous foundation, so how can we allow foreign enemies to covet it!"

"promise!"

All the ministers responded in unison.

The hall was filled with shouts like a tsunami, "Your Majesty is wise! We, your humble servants, will go through fire and water and die without hesitation! We swear to live and die with the country and to achieve hegemony with the king!"

At this moment, the emperor and his subjects were deeply in love and showed their loyalty to each other. Outside the palace walls, smoke rose everywhere, and the war was about to break out. The flowers and plants in the courtyard were desolate and silent.

……

Chu Ze returned to his bedroom and looked at the gorgeous room, feeling sad.

Yesterday he was still struggling on the brink of death, but today he has to go to war for the country.

Fate plays tricks on people, isn't he also a prisoner of fate?

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Yunyun walked forward and spoke with concern.

She gently held her husband's arm and comforted him softly.

"Don't worry, I and the prince will be there to help you. Just give it a try and you will succeed."

Chu Ze looked at his beloved, his eyes becoming more determined.

"That's true. The country is in crisis, and I can't afford to be fussy."

He sighed and stood up suddenly.

"Pass the order down, order all the generals to gather their troops and follow Yu Dayan to the battle. I want the Xixia army to be defeated like a mountain, without a single piece of armor left!"

"promise!"

Qin Yunyun took the order and walked out of the palace quickly.

In a blink of an eye, the military order spread across the land of China. In a short time, horses gathered from all over the world, and spears and swords were spread across thousands of miles.

It can be said that the landscape is picturesque and the beauties are like jade.

With so many heroes emerging, who can compete with them?
Chu Ze, dressed in military uniform, stood in front of the palace with a heroic look.

Behind him are thousands of soldiers, armed to the teeth, ready to go.

Yu Daying and Qin Yunyun stood on the left and right, staring into the distance with eager eyes.

There, smoke rose and war drums thundered.

The 100,000-strong army of Western Xia is approaching the territory of the Song Dynasty step by step!

"My dear Lord Yu, may I ask what brilliant plan you have for the battle?"

Chu Ze asked in a deep voice, his eyes like lightning.

Yu Daying clasped his fists and bowed, his tone firm.

"In my opinion, we should use the tactic of delaying to avoid the enemy's sharp edge.

When the enemy is exhausted, we can launch a surprise attack with our special forces and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

"it is good!"

Chu Ze was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"Just follow your advice, my dear minister. We should wait for the enemy to tire out and win by surprise!"

After saying this, he gave an order.

"All the troops, listen to my orders. Follow General Yu to fight for me and serve our country. We will not retreat until we die!"

"promise!"

Thousands of troops responded in unison.

The deafening cry resounded through the sky.

The cavalry is as strong as a mountain, with flags flying.

In a blink of an eye, dust filled the sky, blocking out the sun.

An army of one hundred thousand strong marched out in a mighty force.

A man on a white horse quietly arrived in the ranks of the Royal Guards.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Prince Chongde.

He was dressed in plain clothes and was gentle and elegant, which made him stand out from the crowd of soldiers around him.

However, there was a determination in his expression that had never been seen before.

"My son, I will meet my father."

The prince dismounted from his horse and knelt respectfully.

"I, your son, volunteer to go to the battlefield to help my father kill the enemy and serve the country! We must massacre Xixia with blood to avenge our previous humiliation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the soldiers around were moved.

As the crown prince, he was willing to humble himself and live and die with the soldiers.

This level of integrity is simply unprecedented!

Even Chu Ze couldn't help but be moved.

He walked forward slowly and helped the prince up.

"Son, you are my eldest son, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty.

I will inherit this vast territory in the future, how can I take risks so easily?

You will just assist your mother in the capital and maintain peace and order in the country."

Upon hearing this, the prince shook his head and smiled bitterly.

“That’s what my father taught me.

But I, your son, really cannot resign myself to this!

If the world rises and falls, and the king gets sick and dies, should we, the children of the royal family, just sit there and watch?"

"Now that Xixia is invading, it is a great opportunity for me to serve the court!
Father, please grant me your wish this time and let me fight alongside the soldiers!"

Chu Ze's heart was filled with emotion when he heard this.

He didn't expect that his bookish son would have such a broad mind!

He held the prince's hand tightly, and two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes.

"Okay! My good son! In that case, you should follow General Yu closely and practice fighting on the front lines!"

"Follow my father's teachings!"

The prince was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

He jumped on his horse and shouted at Yu Daying.

"General Yu, I am willing to follow you! I hope you will give me some advice!" (End of this chapter)
