Chapter 1162 The Grand Finale (26)
The army needs to stabilize the morale most when going to war, and none of the princes who took the place of the new emperor came in handy.They were all princes who rarely had contact with the army, how could they really let the people below listen to them.Therefore, even Zhu Li was forced to be defeated for several miles because he couldn't control the scattered soldiers below.

The bad news from the front came back to the capital one after another not long after.

Lord Ten is dead!

It is said that he didn't have to die at first, but he didn't expect that the promise made to him by Concubine Zhuang on behalf of the queen would be useless at all.In the situation where everyone in his own barracks was in a hurry to escape, who could take care of him?

Master Shi hid behind Master Jiu, and wanted to use Master Jiu as a shield.But Jiu Ye was not willing to block him like Third Master, so when Jiu Ye got out of the way, a shell directly blasted Shi Ye into pieces.Master Jiu had a leg broken in the blast.

Hearing that the tenth master and the ninth master were dead and disabled, the seventh master didn't think about running for his life.Because he knew that if he returned to Beijing at this moment, he would definitely be accused of abandoning his brother Xinhuang by Sun Shi'an, and he would be beheaded when he went back, so he simply mutilated himself, crippled his left arm, and lay on the bed On the stretcher of the army, slowly waiting for the opportunity to retreat.

Zhu Li was also injured, both hands were scratched by shells, bleeding profusely.

Ma Wei couldn't find a military doctor in the wild and chaotic situation, so he got a bag from somewhere, opened it, took out the hemostatic medicine inside, and stopped Zhu Li's bleeding.

Zhu Li looked at the bag, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Is this from the enemy?"

"Yes. I saw the military doctor and couldn't find it. I couldn't find the hemostatic medicine. I heard that many soldiers in the enemy army had first aid medicine, so I stole one back." Ma Wei said.

At a glance, everyone knows what she invented.In the end, she was the one who saved his life again.

Zhu Li couldn't help feeling sour from his heart.Back then, if he hadn't been so arrogant, blind, and only accepted the lies of Wang's mother and daughter, instead of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and looking down on her, the result today would have been completely different.

Even if he really died in battle, he would have no regrets.

However, it seemed that God was not going to let him die like this.

Someone in the capital urgently sent an envoy to find him, knelt down and said to him: "The Empress Dowager has orders, please return to Beijing immediately!"

With the order of the Empress Dowager, Zhu Li didn't need to be afraid. He secretly took Ma Wei back to the capital alone, and met the Empress Dowager in Fulu Palace.

After returning to the palace, Zhu Li could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the palace seemed not much better than the battlefield over there.

As if, everyone in the capital knew the news of their army's defeat, and they all thought that the army was about to collapse, and they all started to pack up Softbank and prepare to flee.

Duke Protector's army once killed the Donghu people to the deep mountains, and I am afraid that taking down the capital is just around the corner.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhu Li's bandaged hands, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "I didn't expect that King Li was also injured."

Hearing the other party's implication, Zhu Li said: "The main reason is that the troops on the front line are not united, and they work in separate battalions. There is no commander in charge."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "The Ai family thinks the same way. If the Huguogong really thinks that the capital can be easily taken down, he won't have been able to break into the customs. I heard that this time, the Huguogong did not personally conscript."

An army without Zhu Li personally leading the troops can fight like this?Zhu Li lowered his eyebrows slightly, with a serious look on his face, and said: "Time waits for no one. If our army doesn't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid the capital will really be captured."

"The Ai family didn't want to move. This is what the Ai family promised the emperor before he left." The empress dowager said softly, "That's why King Li was called back from the front line."

In other words, Master Wanli has other arrangements for this?
Zhu Li just waited for the other party to continue talking.

"In the imperial court, to tell you the truth, King Li, the civil and military ministers jointly submitted a complaint to Aijia, accusing the queen mother of interfering in internal affairs, causing serious losses to our army, and the new emperor did not act—"

It turned out that far more than Lord Shi was killed on the front line, there were also many descendants of high-ranking officials and nobles.In this way, these people had to turn to Mrs. Sun for trouble.Sun couldn't come up with any ideas, and planned to use force to suppress it.However, this power is definitely not in Sun's hands.

The people can carry a boat, and they can also overturn it.Mrs. Sun didn't understand this truth, she just thought that after becoming the empress dowager, everything belonged to her.

To force the new emperor to abdicate, and at the same time, both the new emperor and the Sun family should take responsibility for the results of this battle.In this way, after Zhu Ming abdicated, the crown prince Zhu Zhun succeeded him.

Immediately, Zhu Li just understood the reason why Lord Wanli insisted on letting Zhu Ming be enthroned.It turned out that Master Wanli did not fancy Zhu Ming, but Zhu Zhun.Lord Wanli deliberately showed Zhu Ming the edict to deal with the Sun family. The purpose was also very simple, to make the Sun family make mistakes.

Now, the Sun family has made a big mistake, maybe after Zhu Ming abdicates, he can survive.As the manipulator of the new emperor, the Sun family who caused countless deaths and injuries to the people in the pass must have deserved what they deserved along with their minions.

The empress dowager is planning to make Zhu Li the regent to assist the young Zhu Zhun who is in power.

Zhu Li took over the important task without hesitation, reorganized the frontline army, opened the defense line in a certain place outside the pass, and garrisoned it strictly.Even so, after this war, Lord Protector obtained a large piece of Guan foreign land outside Beiyan.

From then on, everyone in the world knew that Beiyan and the capital in the pass were irreconcilable.It's just that Lord Protector doesn't seem to be in a hurry to attack the pass.In this regard, many strategists in the world speculate that it may be because of Long Qian.

The hundred-day feast of the son of the world is coming soon.Regarding the name of the son of the world, there seems to be no dispute in the world.

Zhu Qian.

Li Min's eyelids twitched when he learned that his son really got this name.

Nian Xia was in the room, kneeling in front of the young master, carefully putting on shoes for the young master who was attending the hundred-day banquet.

Master Xiaoshi suddenly stretched out his small hand and touched her head.

Nian Xia raised her head and couldn't help smiling at the little master: "Back to the master, the slave girl's head is really cured."

This little master, like the mistress, is so kind-hearted. At such a young age, he actually knows that she has a head disease.
