Breaking the Day

The tomb of the gods.

A huge Cangsong Pavilion is like a covered tree, surrounded by dense trees, with frosty edges hanging from the tops of the branches, and a long pavilion is built under the Cangsong. There is a chessboard in the center of the pavilion. Two men in yellow robes sit on the sides , One old and one young, are the Emperor Zhao Bairen of the Qi Dynasty and his four most beloved prince Zhao Liexian. Next to them is a new tomb. The tomb is not majestic. On the contrary, it is very inconspicuous. The tombstone is also very simple. There is no name, no title, no posthumous name, only four simple words. : Tomb of the Ming Concubine.

Zhao Bairen was taking a long test at this time. He was whirling a black ball with his fingertips and staring at the chess position on the chessboard. However, his eyes were out of focus and seemed to be attentive, but in fact he was already wandering away.

Zhao Lie had already been surprised by this, just waited quietly, taking a sip of tea from time to time, and then looking at the surrounding scenery.

"Emperor Father, it has passed since it has passed. Emperor Father always comes to this place these days. It takes four or five hours to sit down. Although there is no wind and rain here, according to the official Daxing official, it is overcast. Staying for a long time is afraid that it is not very good for the dragon body." Zhao Lie waited for a long time, and seeing Zhao Bairen still motionless, he finally couldn't bear it and said in a low voice.

Zhao Bairen moved his eyes and said, "Daxing Officer? Daxing Officer, I haven't seen him for a long time, is he okay?"

Zhao Lie's eyes twitched first, and he said, "Father, Daxing Officer... he was assassinated last month and he has gone away..."

Zhao Bairen was taken aback: "Huh? What happened?"

Zhao Lie first whispered: "Emperor Father, this matter was urged by Emperor Father to investigate."

Zhao Bairen wondered: "Who is the murderer?"

Zhao Lie first said: "It hasn't been found yet."

Zhao Bairen was furious: "Asshole, more than a month has passed, why hasn't he been arrested and brought to justice! What is the face of the imperial court when such a terrifying case happened in Shenjing! Gu Changwei! Gu Changwei! He is blood! Do you feel ashamed, Commander Wei, who has not been able to close the case so far?!"

Zhao Lie first sighed lightly and whispered: "Father, the ancient guard has already taken the blame and resigned ten days ago."

Zhao Bairen's anger remained unsatisfactory: "Asshole, I want to run if something goes wrong! Call him back to me! Let him have to investigate the case!"

Zhao Lie first cautiously whispered: "Father, the ancient guard returned home and left a suicide note, claiming that he was guilty of the emperor, and committed suicide the next day."

Zhao Bairen's mouth suddenly grew big, and he couldn't close it for a long time. After a while, he closed his lips with a slight trembling, and slowly closed his eyes, with a trace of tears leaking from the corners of his eyes: "He's gone too? He served. After eleven years, how can I leave before leaving?"

As he said, Zhao Bairen opened his eyes, looked at the tombstone of Concubine Ming in pain, and whispered: "Concubine Ming served me for eighteen years, and the star official served me for sixty-one years. What they said they left and left. Don’t leave the affection, don’t talk about the old feelings at all?"

Zhao Bairen shed two lines of tears. He clutched his heart and cried in a low voice: "Kill me..."

Zhao Lie first panicked and yelled: "Royal doctor, royal doctor!!"

The Fang Yu doctor who was not far away heard the sound. He carried the small medicine box and ran all the way to Zhao Bairen's side. After feeling his pulse, he nodded to the nervous chief eunuch. The chief **** immediately After taking out the medicine bottle he carried with him and feeding Zhao Bairen two pills, Zhao Bairen's brows were slightly stretched, but after so much tossing, he was already lying on the recliner beside him, covered with thick Qiu Yan. , His face was pale, her lips frothed.

After about half an hour, there was a rush of horseshoes outside, and then a few people jumped off the horse. One of them rushed in quickly. Before they got close, they heard the voice eagerly shouting: "Father , Father! Your son is late, your son is damned!!"

The person here was Zhao Hanqing. He rushed all the way, rushed to Zhao Bairen's collapse, and knelt down, choked up and said: "Father, my son is here! How good is your father's dragon body?"

Zhao Lie first helped Zhao Bairen wipe the saliva from the corners of his mouth first, and said with a sneer: "Isn't this the prince of the state of prison with all sorts of wisdom? How come you have time to see the father?"

The words were sour and mean, and everyone else bowed their heads, pretending to be stupid.

Zhao Bairen stared at Zhao Hanqing with muddy eyes and trembling fingers. Zhao Hanqing quickly kowtowed his head to defend him: "Father, the sons and ministers rushed to him as soon as he received the news."

Zhao Lie first snorted coldly: "On weekdays, you go to see the emperor every day. The storms have not stopped. Now that you have to give up and pass the position, you can't come at all! Hmph, it seems that you are going to cross the river and demolish the bridge!"

Zhao Hanqing was furious. He suddenly raised his head and his eyes were like guns and arrows: "King Ping, what did you say!" After that, he kowtowed to Zhao Bairen: "Father, it’s not that the children are not filial, but the most important thing is happening now. The big event! King Ping, if you don’t know the situation, don’t make any nonsense and speak out paradoxes! Do you know what happened in the past two days!!"

Zhao Lie first said yin and yang weirdly: "Where do I know? I'm just a waste prince who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. I stay with my father all day. How can I know the outside world?"

Zhao Hanqing glared at Zhao Lie angrily, and then handed over to Zhao Bairen: "Father! An emergency report came from the southeast. Long Tenghai led the army to fight against the Puppet State and Dijon. The two sides fought day and night, and the front line continued. For more than a hundred miles, both sides suffered heavy damage and each had their own victory and defeat. The next day, Longtenghai made a surprise attack, Mingli stormed the Yuexiaguan of the Shanlan Plain, but secretly sent two thousand monks to bypass the front line of defense and rushed to the blue behind. Mountain Granary."

Zhao Hanqing spoke extremely fast, and his voice even revealed the sound of gold and stone. In his tone, people could feel the murderous aura from the battlefield thousands of miles away. Everyone else was very nervous when they listened, and the atmosphere is not Dare to take a mouthful.

Zhao Bairen struggled to do it, and with the support of Zhao Liexian, he sat down on the soft collapse. He took a sip of the hot ginseng soup that the **** had handed over, regained his vitality, and then nodded to Zhao Hanqing.

Zhao Hanqing went on to say: "But the enemy coalition commander Ullala has already had heavy troops in the Blue Mountain Granary. The two thousand monks failed to make a surprise attack and the entire army was wiped out!"

"Ah!!!" The surrounding eunuchs and court ladies exclaimed in a low voice, looking at each other.

Zhao Hanqing continued with an ugly expression: "Not only that, the enemy also sent ten cavalry regiments on both wings. After the artillery regiment penetrated the two wings from both sides, they bypassed the strongest Chinese defense line and hit me. Afterwards, the enemy assault troops, with the cooperation of the air warships, the enemy's Holy Light Corps, the Shengwei Corps, the Five Thousand Blood Corps, and the Three Thousand Blood Corps jointly broke the Chinese defense line, and went straight to the Chinese army commander Long Tenghai. The camp!"

Zhao Bairen's eyes widened, and his fingers trembled slightly: "Is the general safe?"

Zhao Hanqing nodded quickly and said: "Although the enemy is fierce and cunning, the enemy's actions are expected by the military division Gao Shenghan. The tents of our Chinese army's commander are all traps. The enemy assault troops, the Holy Light Army, the Shengwei Army, and the Five Thousand Bloods All the Corps and the Three Thousand Blood Corps were under siege by our army. Gao Shenghan encircled them and did not fight them and lured the enemy coach to come to the rescue, but the enemy coach saw through Gao Shenghan’s plan and could not hold on to it. General Long Tenghai ordered all of them to be surrounded and wiped out. Enemy. So far our army has won... a terrible victory."

Zhao Bairen let out a sigh of relief and muttered: "It's good if you win, and it's good if you win."

Zhao Lie first muttered sourly, "Isn't a tragic victory a win?"

Zhao Hanqing didn’t seem to have heard him. He immediately said: "Although Long Tenghai has reported a good news, he also requested reinforcements. In this campaign, our army has severely damaged the enemy's elite and killed a total of 150,000. However, our army also lost two thousand monks. Sergeant Wan, Long Tenghai urgently reported that the imperial court mobilize various monks to support, and at the same time send more troops to coordinate operations."

Zhao Bairen opened his mouth and said, "Where can the court fill the gap between the two thousand monks? The various schools of cultivation have suffered heavy losses at this time, so how can they send people to the war?"

The monks are mostly selfish. For the benefit of the sect, they can send monks to fight with the court, and then divide the various interests of the occupied areas, but if they suffer tragic casualties, they will retreat.

After all, compared with money, life is more important!

Zhao Hanqing said: "Father, no matter what, this battle is already a good start. If we don't immediately reinforce, the puppet kingdom will fight at home against Dijon, and the replenishment speed will be much faster than mine. If we continue to fight, the enemy will be stronger. I am weak. Once the war breaks down, I am afraid... there will be unexpected misfortunes!"

There is no fool here. Everyone knows that as soon as this war breaks out, all contradictions have to retreat. The victory or defeat of the current war is the main contradiction, because once the war is lost, it is not as simple as losing power and insulting the country. thing.

All the contradictions accumulated by Daqi will all burst out!

The Puppet Kingdom and the Dijon Kingdom lost, nothing more than cedes their land to pay compensation, but the Great Qi lost, I'm afraid... it will change the dynasty again.

They can't afford to lose!

Zhao Liexian lowered his eyes at this moment, and his eyes were turning quickly, and a poisonous plan of killing two birds with one stone and two birds suddenly came to his mind.
