The second prince of the Xuanwu Kingdom came to the throne. When his father was assassinated, he was holding his breath. He could have successfully succeeded to the throne, but because of the assassination of the Panlong Kingdom, he took a detour and had to hide himself. His strength was also exposed.
Although he got his wish in the end, he also lost some of his manpower, and his brothers were not easy to deal with.
This time he just took a breath of justice, and with the three countries united, they had no reason to fail, so Emperor Xuanwu, as the vanguard, was the first to take action.
Panlong Kingdom also sent envoys to scold him, denying that they sent people to assassinate Emperor Xuanwu, and asked them to produce evidence.
Xuanwu's courtiers threw the evidence directly in the faces of Panlong Kingdom's envoys. At first glance, the unique tokens made by Panlong Kingdom and the jade tablets they received the assassination order did indeed belong to Panlong. From the Dragon Kingdom.
The envoy of Panlong Kingdom was shocked and confused, but with an angry look on his face, he shouted that there was no need to accuse him, but he was thrown out directly.
The negotiations collapsed, and the two countries officially went to war. Xuanwu Kingdom contained one-third of the troops on the border of Panlong Kingdom, and it was still able to deal with it.
Then the White Tiger Kingdom also joined the war, for the same reason. It was not easy for the emperor to train a prince who would inherit the throne, so he had to speak out like this.
Panlong Kingdom is surrounded by enemies on both sides, but it resists to death and refuses to admit that it has harmed the prince of White Tiger Kingdom. However, no one cares about it anymore. It is just an excuse to start a war.
After receiving the news that Spring Planting was successfully completed, Lianyi put the crusade against Panlong Kingdom on the agenda to avenge the imperial husband.
"All the ministers also know that the emperor had more than enough ambition before but lacked the strength, and it happened to be hit by floods. Some cities failed to harvest anything, and basically all the cities' harvests were sharply reduced. If the attack was made at that time, the people would be plunged into dire straits. This is What I don’t want to see.
The Panlong Kingdom is so ambitious that it not only attacks our Fengqi Kingdom, but also the White Tiger Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom. This attack by the two countries is also a good opportunity that we have been waiting for. , so I decided to send troops to attack Panlong Kingdom."
"I second the proposal!"
"."
The court officials also felt that the time was right and the teachers were famous. However, they recommended several people for the expedition, including the eldest princess and the second princess.
Lianyi directly waved his hand and appointed General Fengdi as the commander-in-chief, responsible for commanding the border defense army, and appointed General Fengming and General Zhao Li as deputy commanders. To assist Fengdi, the commander-in-chief must tear Panlong Kingdom away. Next piece of meat.
At this time, the second princess stood up and asked for help. She wanted to personally avenge her father. The revenge for killing her father was irreconcilable.
Lianyi glanced at the second princess and nodded in agreement.
Three days later, Feng Di took the second princess and the assembled army of 100,000 to the border to join Feng Ming and Zhao Li.
The banner of Fengqi Kingdom was to avenge the emperor's husband. This time, Panlong Kingdom could no longer care about arguing, because they had indeed done the assassination, and whether they admitted it or not had no meaning.
Panlong Kingdom was surrounded by enemies on three sides and was jointly attacked by the three kingdoms. Not only did it involve the entire country's military strength, but people in the country were also panicked. The new emperor roared in the court almost every day, but there was no effective solution.
Zhang Zhang had already begun to consider his own options at this time. He finally bit the bullet and said:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to sue for peace and quell this war."
“How to talk?”
Emperor Panlong asked in a deep voice. The dark circles and bloodshot eyes made him look a little gloomy.
"I will go and spy first to see what they want."
Zhang Zhang said with his head lowered. "You go!"
It has reached this point. If he doesn't talk, his army won't be able to support it for long.
Before, he wanted to unite with the White Tiger Kingdom to deal with the Xuanwu Kingdom, but the Fengqi Kingdom was not in his consideration. In the end, the three kingdoms united to attack the Panlong Kingdom. Now all the pressure is on him.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will fulfill my mission."
Zhang Zhang named several courtiers and left Panlong Kingdom the next day to start a journey of peace talks.
After the second princess followed General Feng Di to the border, she began to frequently contact General Zhao Li. Of course, everything was as usual on the surface, but she was plotting something privately.
Feng Ming went to find Feng Di with a wine flask. When the two old friends met, they naturally had a drink, and the topic naturally turned to the second princess.
"I have used the eagle talisman to divert a lot of Zhao Li's manpower, but she still retained the core generals. Now that the second princess is here, she is even more complacent. She has taken advantage of the two victories to start gathering manpower."
Feng Ming has been stationed at the border, so she knows the situation here better.
"It doesn't matter, let them dance first, and we will wait until Panlong Kingdom is captured. The second princess is also a brainless person. The thickest thigh is placed in front of her, and she actually goes to curry favor with a relative of the Zhao family. It's really Stupid and poisonous."
Fengdi said sarcastically.
She is one of the people involved in the investigation and knows exactly what happened when the Queen was assassinated.
That was the capital, not some rural village. How did more than a hundred dead soldiers sneak into the capital, and how did they sneak into Zhuoxiu Garden quietly. After all, it was the royal garden. If there was no internal agent, how could they find it accurately? You can guess with your toes that someone secretly helped the assassin.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the one who benefited was the second princess. After all, the eldest princess was also in Zhuoxiu Garden at that time.
In order to clear away her suspicions, the second princess also asked the emperor's husband to accompany her in a ruse. However, the other party used the ruse to kill her, and finally hooked up with the emperor himself, and lost her life in vain. .
It’s just that the second princess immediately hid in the palace in the name of keeping filial piety. This time she came to the border justifiably under the banner of avenging her father. As the coach, she naturally knew what the purpose was.
"As long as you have an idea! I heard that Panlong Kingdom sent an envoy to negotiate a deal to end this one-sided war."
Feng Ming directly changed the topic.
“The Queen has already negotiated with the other two countries to divide the Panlong Kingdom into three, and each of the three countries will have a share. It is meaningless to talk or not.”
“ The emperor of Panlong Kingdom is probably going to have a stroke!”
Feng Ming’s hearty laughter spread far away, and the second princess who was returning to the tent heard it, and she just glanced at it. With one glance, he stepped into his tent.
She had already discussed with Zhao Li. Taking advantage of the end of the war and the opportunity for them to return to the capital with a great victory, she led her troops to force the palace and asked the Queen Mother to give up the throne to her. This time she made a desperate move.
Because before her father died, he only had time to say three words: "She knows!"
Who she is, the second princess knows very well. As for what she knows, she must be conspiring with the people of Panlong Kingdom. This drama of assassinating the escort, so she was very panicked at the time. After finishing her father's funeral, she hid in the Princess's Mansion to weaken her sense of existence.
But the expedition to Panlong Kingdom once again aroused her ambition. She wanted to give it a try. She was only one step away from that position, and she was unwilling to give up just like that.
