After signing in at the border for ten years, the empress begged on her knees not to rebel

第215章 215：晋王死了，再1次重伤遁走的女帝（2合1）

Chapter 215: Prince Jin is dead, and the empress escapes again after being seriously injured (two in one)

"Is it done?"

The empress couldn't help but be moved when she saw this.

He immediately thought of what he was planning to do, which was to assassinate the King of Zhou and send Duke Wu to go there secretly and take over Chengwu Pass the moment the King of Zhou died.

"King Zhou is dead, and Duke Wu has taken over the guard of Chengwu Pass. Under this circumstance, the Dali Dynasty cannot pose any threat to Dawu for the time being." The empress murmured, her brows relaxed, and she finally saw good news in this simulation.

As for whether other people would become suspicious.

So what if you know?

Since I took action at that time, I must have collected evidence of King Zhou's treason.

Treason is a capital crime.

No one can say anything about the fact that she killed King Zhou. Didn't he deserve to die?

The simulation continues.

[You guessed that the Queen was responsible for the death of King Zhou. I can't help but sigh that the current Queen is not a simple person either. She should not be underestimated.]

[After this, in addition to the King of Jin, the Dawu Dynasty

[The other princes seemed to have behaved themselves, especially the King of Qin and the King of Wu, who retreated to their own fiefdoms, as if they didn't care about worldly affairs.]

[At the same time, Ning He, who was stabbed in Chongli Prefecture, also finished recuperating not long after King Zhou's death and joined the battle again, appearing in Guangling Prefecture]

[As expected, King Jin was stopped again]

[You received news that when the King of Jin was unable to capture Guangling and was running out of food and fodder, the King of Zhao in Yangzhou actually lent a hand to the King of Jin and transported a large amount of money and food by water.]

[The empress was furious and ordered the Royal Guards to investigate and punish Prince Zhao]

[But within just three days, the King of Zhao was captured by the Royal Guards and was about to be taken back to Chang'an]

[When the King of Jin found out, he was extremely anxious]

[As expected, he gave up Guangling Prefecture and planned to rescue King Zhao]

[However, how could Ning He give him this opportunity? As soon as he retreated, Ning He personally led his elite troops to chase him and hold him tightly.]

[King Jin is furious and wants to fight Ning He to the death]

[However, after Ning He successfully held him back for a while, he decisively withdrew to Guangling and closed the city.]

[You know, the King of Jin is going to lose]

[The money and food that King Zhao sent last time could not keep him going for long]

[You guessed it right, just half a month later]

【The news of the defeat of the King of Jin came from Guangling. The army of nearly 400,000 was defeated by Ninghe from the front, with heavy casualties. Only about 100,000 defeated soldiers were left, retreating all the way south to Chongli Prefecture】

[The country of the Dawu Dynasty seemed to have returned to peace once again as the Prince of Jin retreated to Chongli Prefecture.]

[But you know very well that this is just the prelude to the coming storm]

[The first year of Shengwu]

【Xiaoman】

[News from Lingnan: South Vietnam is invading]

[Three hundred thousand elite soldiers of Nanyue took over most of Lingnan in just five days. Wu Qianxian, the crown prince of King Jin, died in the battle, and none of the fifty thousand elite soldiers left by King Jin to guard Lingnan survived.]

[King Jin learned about this in Chongli Mansion and became so angry that he fainted.]

[Another Half Moon]

[Urgent news came from Chengwu Pass, the Dali Dynasty led an army of 500,000 to attack with great force]

[At the same time, the Wei Dynasty also raised 500,000 elite troops and marched to Xilin Pass. Li Babaili hurriedly wrote a letter to the empress, asking her to dispatch troops to help.]

[At this point, the Dawu Dynasty once again]

[Besieged by Dawei, Dali, and Nanyue]

[Fortunately, not long ago, Huo Qubing led his army to attack the royal court and defeated the Zhar tribe, causing the Northern Barbarians to fall into civil strife and have no time to move south.]

[The Empress is furious]

[Immediately send an order to have Lan Rong, the garrison commander of Gu'an Prefecture, lead his troops to rush to the aid of Chengwu Pass]

[Later, he ordered the King of Chu in Jiangdong to lead his army to Lingnan to recover the lost territory, and ordered the King of Han to send troops to Xilin Pass immediately to resist Wei.]

[At the same time, there is another imperial decree]

[I sent you your Donghai Mansion]

[The content of the imperial edict is very simple. It requires you to recruit 300,000 soldiers within ten days to guard Dongyi Palace.]

【Dongyi Mansion】

[After you heard the contents of the imperial edict, you immediately saw the empress's intention]

[She is wary of the King of Yan in Dongchuan Prefecture]

[I am afraid that the King of Yan will take advantage of this chaos to rebel, so I asked you to recruit 300,000 soldiers to guard Dongyi Palace to resist the King of Yan]

[Little did you know that this imperial decree from the empress was exactly what you wanted]

So, you started recruiting soldiers.

[In just seven days, 300,000 soldiers were recruited and sent to Dongyi Prefecture to defend it.]

[The scope of Buddhist teachings also includes you]

[From only one Donghai Prefecture, it has expanded to Dongyi Prefecture. Even during this period of time, Buddhism is still slowly expanding outward. Several temples have appeared in many prefectures.]

[You know, the Empress knows very well who will rebel and who will not rebel]

[But you think that the Empress doesn’t know what you are thinking]

[Because your performance over the years has been mediocre, she will never doubt you]

【After you go to Dongyi Mansion】

[The empress was also not idle. She took drastic measures and began to carry out a series of reforms on taxes and corvée labor in the Dawu Dynasty. For a time, the people of the Dawu Dynasty were grateful to her and won her the hearts of the people.]

[After receiving the message, your expression becomes somewhat solemn]

【People’s will.】

[You recalled what Jiang Xuan said to you back then: The people are like water, and the ruler is like a boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Since ancient times, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world.]

【The right time, right place, and right people】

[Empresses all gain something, and the throne is stable]

[If nothing unexpected happens, your road to rebellion will become even more difficult]

[Especially, after the King of Chu and the King of Han were transferred to Lingnan and the west of the pass by imperial decree, the Dawu Dynasty became even more solid.]

[As for the King of Jin in Chongli Prefecture]

[He is just a loser who is struggling to survive. Whether he can survive is another matter.]

[You know, at this moment you can only choose to stay put]

【Waiting for the right time】

[And the King of Yan and the King of Chu seem to have the same goal as you]

[The Prince of Yan has been very well behaved recently, or rather, he has always been very well behaved. It doesn't seem like he has any intention of rebellion, just like you did back then.]

[As for the King of Chu, upon receiving the imperial edict, he immediately led an army of over 400,000 soldiers across the river to the south. Even if he didn't want to go, he had to make this trip.]

[Because the current Majesty of the Dawu Dynasty is still the empress]

[It would be fine if there were no external enemies, but now that we have external enemies in front of us, how can we not obey the king’s orders?]

[The King of Chu is very ambitious]

[He doesn't want any stains left on his body]

【King of Han.】

[He did send troops, but he did not go to Xilin Pass. Instead, on the way, he suddenly turned his guns around and seized Shuzhong, making it his own.]

['Stupid!' You sneered and cursed.]

[The King of Han's actions were tantamount to pushing himself to the losing side right from the beginning.]

[As you expected]

[After the King of Han took over Shu, the whole world immediately cursed him]

[Even some people in the martial arts world who claimed to be heroes were so angry that they tried to assassinate the King of Han many times. Although they all failed, the King of Han was furious.]

[Because of the King of Han’s reckless behavior]

[Xilin Pass was lost, and Prince Li fled northwards in a desperate state. The elite troops of the Wei Dynasty marched straight in and captured the three prefectures in just two days.]

[Once again, troops are stationed in Jianping, watching with eager eyes]

[The empress was furious][She immediately ordered Ning He of Guangling Prefecture to lead his army south, and another imperial edict went to Xingqing Prefecture, asking the King of Wu to lead his army to first capture Luoying Prefecture and then suppress the King of Han in Shuzhong]

[At the same time, the Dali Dynasty also launched a fierce attack on Chengwu Pass. Fortunately, Duke Wu was guarding it. In the short term, the Dali Dynasty would not be able to break in.]

[The Dawu Dynasty is in chaos again]

[But to your surprise, the empress does not seem to have any intention of recalling Jiang Xuan to the court]

[Instead, he has been mobilizing other vassal kings]

[You don’t quite understand]

[If it were you, you would definitely transfer him back to the court immediately to deter the villains. Even if the villain has rebellious intentions, you can unite with other vassal kings to deter the villain and prevent him from acting rashly in a short period of time.]

[This thought only occurred to you for a moment, and then you smiled and shook your head.]

[If he really intends to rebel, the entire Dawu Dynasty combined may not be enough for him to defeat]

[The first year of Shengwu]

【Minor Heat】

[The situation in the Dawu Dynasty is becoming increasingly tense]

[Ninghe and the Wei Dynasty fought many fierce battles in Jianping, winning more than they lost. The Wei Dynasty also found out how difficult she was to deal with, so they decisively gave up a head-on battle with her, and instead firmly controlled the territory they occupied, not letting the Wei Dynasty have a chance to take advantage of them.]

[And Lingnan, after the King of Chu arrived]

[The wars also broke out frequently. The King of Chu is very strong, so strong that you are extremely afraid of him.]

[In just one month, more than half of the 300,000 elite troops of Nanyue were slaughtered and retreated in a panic. Lingnan was recovered. On the day Lingnan was recovered, the King of Jin died from a recurrence of his old wounds.]

[His generals surrendered and were recruited by the King of Chu]

[Chengwu Pass is still in a state of anxiety]

[King Wu has just arrived at Luoying Mansion and intends to take it down]

[As for the King of Han, he has been silent in Shu.]

[The first year of Shengwu]

【Great Heat】

[The expansion of Buddhism presents a terrifying trend, like a prairie fire]

[It only took three months for temples to appear in half of the territory of the Dawu Dynasty. The number of believers increased, and it seemed that the situation was out of control.]

[You have never felt happy about this]

[Instead, they are more afraid of Buddhism]

[On this day, a special guest came to Dongyi Mansion]

【King of Yan】

[This is the second time you have met the King of Yan. The first time was in the 31st year of Emperor Yuan’s reign.]

[More than a decade has passed]

[The appearance of the King of Yan has remained unchanged, still with that young face]

[There is a hint of ethereal meaning in every gesture]

[His expression is calm, as if he doesn't take anything to heart, as peaceful as water]

[You know, the reason why the King of Yan makes you feel this way is because he practices the Dao Sect’s method.]

[You are more afraid of the King of Yan than the Empress]

[Also more than the King of Chu and others]

[But you two had a very pleasant conversation]

[He came to see you this time for no particular purpose. He just wanted to talk to you about the current situation in the world and to know your views on Buddhism.]

[You smiled and shook your head, without answering]

[When the King of Yan saw this, he did not ask any more questions, but instead started chatting with you about the King of Chu, the King of Han, and others.]

[His views on these people are surprisingly consistent with yours]

[The King of Chu may be considered a person of character, but he is too sentimental and righteous to accomplish anything great. The King of Han is just a complete reckless man, not to be feared.]

【The world today】

[Only the Empress can make you a little afraid]

[During this discussion, you all commented wildly on everyone except the one from the North. You all tacitly did not mention him.]

[You talked all night long]

[The next day, the King of Chu left]

[You calmed down your slightly nervous heart. You didn't want to confront him right now, and he seemed to be just looking for you to chat.]

[The first year of Shengwu]

【beginning of autumn】

[You received news that there was a shocking change in the palace]

[The eldest prince personally led 300 heavily armored soldiers from the east of the city to the palace, intending to usurp the throne]

[However, the eldest prince was beheaded by the guards before he even saw the empress, and blood splattered all over the Golden Palace.]

[Although the eldest prince was defeated]

[The empress did not take back her throne]

[There is news that a war broke out in the palace on the night when the eldest prince rebelled]

【The Empress is missing.】

[The Jinyiwei disappeared overnight. The elders and disciples of Qingyuan Sword Sect left in a hurry and returned to the sect. No one knew what happened at that time.]

[Once this matter was spread, the whole world was shocked]

"I lost again?"

When the empress saw this, her pupils shrank slightly.

He gnashed his teeth and said, "I actually lost to Empress Dowager Xiao again?"

The War Between Heaven and Man

"Liu Daoxuan!" the empress said hatefully, suddenly raised her eyes and looked towards Jiangdong from afar.

His narrow eyes were filled with murderous intent.

She knew it without even thinking about it.

This time, Liu Daoxuan must have been involved.

"It seems that we have to think of a way to get rid of this person first." The empress retracted her gaze, rubbed her eyebrows, and a trace of worry appeared on her face.

It is not so easy to deal with a celestial being.

"Or, ask him for help."

"never mind."

The empress just had the thought of asking Jiang Xuan for help, but she immediately cut it off.

Now she is afraid of Jiang Xuan like a tiger.

Fear reached to the extreme.

How dare you seek the skin of a tiger?

At the very least, she didn't dare to think about it before she knew the truth.

But the problem is, if I don’t ask him for help.

What other means do I have to restrain a sword-wielding immortal?

"It would be great if the reward for this simulation could be another Broken Mirror Pill." The empress thought about it and shook her head. The simulation rewards have always been random.

It is basically impossible to get the Mirror Breaking Pill randomly.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be long before she would have two more celestial beings under her command.

If Liu Daoxuan dares to come at that time, he will be made to never return.

[You who received the news were also shocked]

[Ask Monk Ananda if you know what happened in the palace]

[The battle between heaven and man, who is fighting again?]

【Monk Ananda did not disappoint you】

[He told you what happened in the palace that night]

[Three half-step celestial beings came out from under Empress Dowager Xiao's command and surrounded the empress together. The empress's protector stopped one, and several elders from the Qingyuan Sword Sect stopped one. The empress faced a half-step celestial being alone, and the fight was evenly matched.]

[The leader of the Qingyuan Sword Sect walked out and killed the three Half-Step Celestial Beings with the might of the Sword Dao Celestial Being. But soon after, Liu Daoxuan, the leader of the Sword Dao from three hundred years ago, came and stopped Lu Qingyuan.]
