Chapter 156 Sharing control of the country?
The news that the border city had been breached reached the Imperial Palace of the Western Zhou Dynasty as quickly as possible.
The emperor was so shocked that he stood up suddenly: "What?"
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked: "The border pass was breached?"
"Why so fast?"
"Isn't King Wu confident?"
"Back to the emperor, the opponent's cavalry is too fierce, does not play according to the rules, and is very good at sneak attacks, making it difficult for people to guard against!"
"Then...can King Wu hold on?"
"The city has been destroyed, why should we defend it? Isn't this a nonsense question?"
The emperor's face was livid, and he turned around and asked urgently: "Who is willing to lead troops to reinforce?"
"Your Majesty, General Chen is a veteran on the battlefield. It is better to let General Chen go into battle."
"When General Chen led troops to attack Nanzhao before, he should have sat down with Yong to carve up the territory. Taking a step back would have made Yong think that we were weak and easy to talk to."
"Summon General Chen!"
"Your Majesty!" A eunuch came in a hurry, staggering and kneeling on the ground, "News just came from the Chen family that General Chen was assassinated!"
As soon as the air condensed, the already cold weather in winter seemed to become even colder to the bones in an instant.
The old prime minister in the court was extremely puzzled: "I really can't figure it out. The Western Zhou Dynasty and the Yong State had no enmity in the past and have no grievances recently. Even the cities captured in Nan Zhao were returned to Zhao intact. Why did they launch an offensive against the Western Zhou Dynasty? What does Princess Zhaohua of Nanzhao have to do with us? In the name of seeking justice, they have no reason at all, no reason at all! "
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his eyes darkened, and he held the armrest tightly: "Pass on the high priest!"
…
"The Feifeng Army has breached the western border!"
"Good news!"
"The Feifeng Army has breached the western border!"
The good news flew into the Yongguo Palace. The reactions of the civil and military officials in the hall were completely different from those of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Shock, surprise, and disbelief appeared on everyone's faces.
"The Flying Phoenix Army led by the Princess Regent?"
"Is the Princess Regent's tactics so powerful?"
"When did the Princess Regent learn this skill?"
"You don't know something." Prime Minister Zuo said slowly, "For more than a year, the Feifeng Army has been trained by the princess."
"But the princess is just a weak woman, how could she..."
A minister didn't know what he thought of, and looked at the Duke of Zhen: "My lord, did you secretly train your daughter to become a general, but never let anyone know?"
The Duke of Zhen Guo looked stunned and came back to his senses after hearing this: "How can I be so capable? Shen Ning was indeed just a weak woman before she left the cabinet. She gradually showed her talents after marrying to the Regent's Palace. It should be the martial arts and the art of war taught by the Regent to the princess. ”
But the princess was not married to the regent for long.
Doesn’t martial arts take years to learn? Moreover, the best age to practice martial arts is between three and seven years old. After getting married, you can practice martial arts. After two years of practicing martial arts, you can lead your troops to the battlefield and win the battle as soon as you enter the battlefield... Why does it sound so incredible?
"So the most powerful one is the regent. With just a few lessons, the princess can be invincible on the battlefield." Yan Qingchen smiled gently, "You sirs probably don't know that Prime Minister You also learned the art of war from the regent, so Whether it was Mobei or the Western Zhou Dynasty, a great victory was inseparable from the work of the regent."
The ministers nodded: "Yes, the regent is indispensable to the fact that the Yong Kingdom is as powerful and prosperous as it is today."
"After the unification of the world, the territory is vast, the four kingdoms are united, and everything is in ruins. Many systems and rules need to be changed, officials need to be reappointed, the army needs to be adjusted, and government affairs are many and complicated. Only the regent is worthy of the great responsibility!"
"The regent is the god of war. He has the talents of a general and the ability to govern a country. I am willing to assist the regent and create a prosperous age for the Yong Kingdom for a hundred years!"
The ministers knelt down one after another: "I am willing to assist the regent and create a prosperous world for a hundred years!"
Ji Yucang sat silently on the chair, just quietly listening to the words of the ministers in the palace. After they finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the palace knelt down and worshiped, shouting to support the regent and willing to assist the regent to create Yongzong. The country flourished for a hundred years.
He stood up, with a tall and tall body, a cold and dignified face, a pair of dark eyes slowly passing over the officials, and when he spoke, his voice was indifferent and filled with a pressing sense of oppression: "The Ministry of Etiquette is preparing for the coronation ceremony, the queen's crown and uniform, When the princess returns, I and the princess will take charge of the Yong Dynasty together. "
The dark hall was silent.
No one spoke up to object because they were all frightened.
Sharing the kingdom with the princess?
There has never been such a precedent since ancient times.
How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Why does the Prince Regent keep doing the opposite?
They were even thinking in their hearts, was it just for this day that the regent asked the princess to lead the army to conquer the Western Zhou Dynasty?
The ministers had requested the regent to ascend the throne as emperor countless times before, but the regent was indifferent, neither responding nor objecting, making it difficult to figure out his thoughts.
It turns out that he had his own plans all along.
Orioles fly and grass grows, and time flies by.
The cold winter has passed, the warm spring has passed in March, and the hot summer has also passed.
Good news comes frequently.
Envoys of the Western Zhou Dynasty sent peace letters one after another to Yong State, but no one ever changed any attack plan.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the twelfth lunar month of the year again.
Important news came from the Western Zhou Dynasty: the high priest passed away.
The entire Western Zhou Dynasty was immersed in unspeakable fear and sorrow.
It's snowing heavily and the wind is freezing.
The regent led a group of soldiers and horses to leave the capital and went to the Western Zhou Dynasty to meet his princess who had just made a great contribution.
