The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 82
Chen Yuqi's appearance was very much in line with the emperor's wishes. He was still a little embarrassed at first, but he didn't know how to refuse Yang Xingyao. With Chen Yuqi as a party to express his position, it would be much easier for him to politely refuse.

The emperor glanced down and saw Chen Yuqi kneeling upright behind Yang Xingyao, sighed, and pretended to regret: "Xingyao, the girl doesn't seem to be optimistic about this marriage, I have always believed in forced marriages. Melon is not sweet, this time, I am afraid that all your infatuation will come to nothing."

Yang Xingyao turned his head and whispered to Chen Yuqi: "Miss Chen Fourth, didn't we make an agreement someday? Why, do you want to renege on your debt?"

Chen Yuqi glared at him angrily, and said: "I just said that if you can't afford it, I will take care of you. When did you agree to marry you?"

The emperor laughed loudly, and said to Yang Xingyao: "Xingyao, I see that your marriage is still a long way to go. When you can talk through the Chen family girl, come and ask me for an order."

Yang Xingyao seemed a little disappointed, so he nodded in agreement, and he and Chen Yuqi retreated to their positions.

After Yang Xingyao's interruption, the bustling banquet suddenly became deserted.The emperor just drank two glasses of wine, secretly feeling bored.

Zhang Ruogu saw the opportunity, and asked the emperor with a smile, "I just listened to Yang Shizi's poem, and suddenly got some inspiration. Please appreciate it, Your Majesty."

Zhang Ruogu took the lead, and then someone followed.At this time, when the wine was at its peak, all the ministers were in high spirits and took turns composing birthday poems for the emperor.

The emperor listened a lot, and regained his high spirits just now, and said: "Today is an auspicious day, and the heaven and the earth live together. You don't have to be restrained in writing poems. If you have inspiration, tell me and listen to me."

When the emperor said this, he naturally meant to be careful about his talents. This kind of opportunity has always been an opportunity for young officials to gain positions.

Those who can stand out on such occasions naturally have some talents.Immediately afterwards, some young talents who relied on their talents stood up and wrote some poems in response to the occasion.

Xie Hui was unhappy, for this longevity banquet, he had planned for many days.I didn't expect to be disturbed by Yang Xingyao first, and then lead to the poems presented by the officials, so the original plan would not be used.

Taking advantage of the time when the officials were toasting, he saluted the emperor and said, "Today is the emperor's birthday. Originally, the ministers should also compose a poem in honor of the emperor. However, the emperor also knows the level of the ministers. I am very happy today." In those days, I don't show my ugliness anymore, but I do know a girl who is very talented, and I want to ask her to present poems for my son."

After Xie Hui finished speaking, he secretly looked at Xie Yao who was opposite, but Xie Yao was sitting upright, wondering what he was thinking.

The emperor has always been interested in such elegant things, and when he heard about the talented girl, he wanted to see what kind of talent he had, and was about to say yes, when he heard a faint cry from outside the Huangji Hall.

"Eight hundred miles urgent report! Eight hundred miles urgent report!" The voice was getting closer and closer, and then a leader of the forbidden army outside the hall shrank back into the Huangji Hall, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are border guards. An urgent report from Baili, the sender is waiting outside the palace, I wonder if His Majesty has..."

The emperor had a bad premonition in his heart, guessing what happened.He tensed his face, and said angrily: "Babaili urgent report, how brave are you, dare to stop it? Report it to me quickly!"

The Imperial Army hastily dragged the soldier who reported the letter into the Huangji Hall. The soldier stumbled into the Huangji Hall with a troubled expression and was covered in dust. Holding an envelope with a seal of sealant in his hands, his body trembled. Said: "Your Majesty, Beidi invaded Jinlan Pass and beheaded tens of thousands of soldiers of our army. Now Jinlan Pass has been lost, and the state of Yanzhou is at stake!"

After the founding of Dayan, there were frequent wars with Beidi in the northern border. That is to say, Yuan Bolu, the new leader of Beidi, was still young in the past few years, and only then did he have a few years of peace.

It never occurred to Beidi to take advantage of the relaxation of Dayan's military preparations to sneak attack and directly take Jinlan Pass, an important military site.

Jinlan Pass is an important pass connecting Luyuan and Guanzhong. After Beidi got Jinlan Pass, it firmly occupied the main road to go west to Guanzhong.As long as you guard Jinlan Pass, you can take Luyuan to enter and Guanzhong to retreat.

This military report was like a blow to the head, smashing the peace and prosperity in the emperor's heart.The emperor's eyes went dark, and he felt the sky spinning above his head, so he managed to hold on to the handle of the dragon chair so as not to fall down.

Cao Shouli, who was standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor, only to hear the emperor's eyes closed tightly, and he said in a vague voice: "Quick! Call them to the Jiyi Hall for discussion!"

Cao Shouli was an old man who had served the emperor for many years, so he stood up, cleared his throat, and said, "The emperor has an order to summon the second prince, the king of Dian, the Marquis of Weiyuan, the Marquis of Chang'an, and Prince Wupu, without asking any questions." Hacha and the cabinet ministers gathered in the Hall of Justice to discuss matters!"

Cao Shouli then ordered a few more generals, ignoring the chaotic crowd in the Huangji Hall, and helped the emperor to the Jiyi Hall.

The emperor sat down in front of the imperial case and felt that his dizziness had improved slightly.After glancing at the military report just received, he asked in a deep voice, "Beidi's [-] troops marched straight in, do you have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Everyone in the cabinet was still focused on the longevity banquet just now, and didn't react for a while.The generals were all thinking about asking for a fight, but due to the presence of Marquis Weiyuan, they lowered their heads and remained silent, waiting quietly for Marquis Weiyuan to offer his words.

The military situation was as urgent as sparks, and all his subjects were silent. The emperor was furious again, and said sharply: "Jinlan Pass is only a thousand miles away from the capital, and Beidi is about to hit the capital soon. You can sink like this!" Hold on!"

The second prince Xie Yao replied: "Father, Beidi is coming in a menacing manner. Although the city of Qizhou has many soldiers and generals, it is isolated and helpless. It is necessary to send a large army to reinforce it as soon as possible."

The emperor glared at the ministers bitterly, nodded to Xie Yao and said, "Although there is Xu Ling in Luyuan, he has just been transferred from Jiannan after all, and his prestige is not enough to frighten all the troops. Who do you think is suitable to send? "

Xie Yao's No.1 choice is naturally Marquis Weiyuan. Both Emperor Father and Marquis Weiyuan wanted to marry Miss Fang. Marquis Weiyuan is also the head of generals, so Marquis Weiyuan can firmly control the military power. best for yourself.

"My son recommends Marquis Weiyuan to go. Marquis Weiyuan has always been famous, and if he sits in front, he will surely serve the whole army, recover the lost land in a short time, and promote my country's prestige."

The emperor also had this intention, so he looked at Fang Luan, Marquis of Weiyuan.

Fang Luan thought otherwise, this was not an ordinary bandit suppression, but a fight to the death with Beidi.

In the past hundred years, when Dayan met Beidi, he always lost more than he won.In the past, Changdi failed several times and returned home because of Jinlan Pass, where one man was the gate and ten thousand were not allowed to open it.

Now that Jinlan pass has been lost, one cannot rush to die.
