"Your Majesty, there is no need to ask me about this matter. You can do whatever you want."
Ye Qingyun said this.
Li Tianmin nodded.
"The national teacher is wise."
Ye Qingyun ""
What did I say that was wise?
You just have to slap this flattery, right?
Li Tianmin looked at the court officials.
"The top priority now is to send reinforcements to Zijin Pass."
Before he finished speaking, a general wearing armor strode out.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead troops into battle and rush to the rescue of Zijin Pass immediately!"
This man has a heavy back and a dark face. He looks like a black tower standing there.
Very intimidating.
This man was a famous general in the Tang Dynasty named Qin Xiong.
"If General Qin is brave, I will order you to lead an army of 500,000 and rush to the aid of Zijin Pass immediately."
Li Tianming looked at Qin Xiong.
"Remember, we must defend Zijin Pass and repel the Sirius clan!"
Qin Xiong bowed and bowed.
"I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
After saying that, Qin Xiong turned around and went down.
He wanted troops to go to war.
It is urgent to reinforce Zijin Pass.
Once it's too late.
I'm afraid even Zijin Pass will be lost.
If Zijin Pass is really lost, then the difficulty of regaining the northern land will be completely different.
Even the worst situation is that Datang completely loses its northern territory.
Let the Sirius clan become completely powerful.
This is absolutely not allowed to happen.
Qin Xiong set out the next day with an army of 500,000.
Head straight to the north.
Ye Qingyun did not return to his mansion, but stayed in the palace, always waiting for news from the north.
Prince Li Yuanxiu also came to the palace.
The matter was of great importance, and Li Yuanxiu was also worried, so he planned to stay in the palace and wait for the news with Ye Qingyun.
Many people in Chang'an City are also anxiously waiting for news from the north.
At this time, there is nothing more worthy of concern than the war in the north.
The atmosphere in the palace was very depressing. Li Tianmin had a gloomy face all day long.
Only when he saw Li Yuanxiu and Ye Qingyun did he show a peaceful look.
And just seven days later.
Finally, new news came from the north.
Qin Xiong led 500,000 troops to Zijin Pass and rescued Zijin Pass, which was already in danger.
And temporarily repelled the Sirius clan.
When this news came back, the whole Chang'an suddenly cheered.
The oppressive atmosphere in the palace was also swept away.
Li Tianmin showed a long-lost smile.
In the court hall, Li Tianmin took the jade slip and informed all the courtiers of the general's situation.
“This is God’s blessing for me, the Tang Dynasty!”
"No, it's your Majesty's wisdom and martial prowess that can achieve such a great victory!"
"With a great victory in this battle, the Sirius clan will inevitably be defeated!"
"The North has no worries!"
The courtiers were overjoyed.
Li Tianming said in public that he would reward Qin Xiong heavily when the war was over.
certainly.
The prerequisite is to regain Luoxia Pass.
If Luoxia Pass is not taken back, the portal to the north will be wide open, and the Sirius clan will come in again at any time.
Three more days passed.
Good news again.
Qin Xiong led his army to fight against the Tianlang tribe again and won a great victory.
The Tianlang Clan army has completely retreated to Luoxia Pass, intending to rely on Luoxia Pass to resist Qin Xiong's army.
Chang'an is boiling again.
"Well done to General Qin Xiong!"
"Beat these Sirius clan bastards hard!"
"It makes my blood boil. I want to join the army."
In the palace, Li Tianmin was in a happy mood.
The successive good news finally made him feel relieved.
On this day, he held a banquet at the observatory.
The guests at the banquet included Ye Qingyun and several important ministers in the court.
Li Yuanxiu was also present to accompany him.
"Today we invite you to a banquet
This is to celebrate the victory of the North."
Li Tianmin raised his wine glass and looked at everyone present.
Everyone also raised their glasses.
"Drink together, everyone!"
"Drink with your Majesty!"
Li Tianmin drank a glass of wine with several people.
Then came Li Yuanxiu, who also raised his wine glass and bowed to several people.
"Yuan Xiu drinks to you all!"
Li Yuanxiu should drink it first.
Ye Qingyun and others naturally drank another drink.
The atmosphere suddenly became more lively.
Then a group of beautiful dancers walked to the center and started singing and dancing.
It was the first time for Ye Qingyun to see such a scene, and it was very strange.
Keep your eyes on the dancing girls.
No taboos.
Seeing him like this, several ministers were secretly surprised.
These dancers are not something you can watch casually.
These are all dancers in the palace. Only the emperor can look at them like this.
Ye Qingyun actually has no scruples at all?
Li Tianmin and Li Yuanxiu also noticed Ye Qingyun's behavior.
However, neither father nor son had any dissatisfaction, it was just natural.
It would be strange if Ye Qingyun had some scruples.
Such a peerless expert can do whatever he wants.
Be casual and free!
Ye Qingyun looked at these dancers for a while and couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder those who are emperors always like to watch singing and dancing.
Anyone who looks at this thing will be confused.
After three rounds of drinking.
At this moment, suddenly a meteor streaked across the sky.
Falling straight to the north.
Everyone didn't pay attention yet, but the head of Qintian Prison came in a hurry.
"His Majesty!"
An old man in white robe knelt in front of Li Tianmin.
It’s Yang Kaitai, the head of Qintian Supervisor
"What's wrong?"
Li Tianmin asked.
Yang Kaitai's face was full of solemnity: "Your Majesty, just now a general star fell in the north. , I’m afraid it’s an ominous sign!”
As soon as these words came out, Li Tianmin's expression suddenly changed.
Everyone else present also changed their colors.
Only Ye Qingyun was still looking at the dancing girls.
It's a pity that the dancers didn't dare to continue dancing at this time.
"What did you say?"
Li Tianmin stared at Yang Kaitai.
Yang Kaitai said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the star will fall."
He didn't dare to say any more.
Because Li Tianmin's face had become extremely ugly.
Yang Kaitai was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.
"Father!"
Li Yuanxiu also quickly spoke up.
"Father, please don't get angry. The astrology is not trustworthy. The war in the north has been a series of victories, so there won't be any trouble."
Li Tianmin's expression softened a little.
"It's best if nothing happens."
But at this moment.
"Your Majesty! The North is stepping up military reports!"
The Imperial Guard suddenly rushed forward.
He held a jade slip in his hand.
Everyone was nervous.
Yang Kaitai just said the ominous omen here, and the military report came here.
Could it be that something really happened in the north?
But wasn’t it clear that we had won two big games before?
How could something happen?
Even if you lose, it shouldn't be a big deal.
"Yuan Xiu, please read the military report."
Li Tianmin asked Li Yuanxiu to read the military newspaper.
Li Yuanxiu took the jade slip, took a look at it, and suddenly turned pale with horror.
Snap!
The jade slip suddenly lost its grip and fell to the ground.
"What happened?"
Li Tianmin asked sharply.
"Father"
Li Yuanxiu's voice was trembling.
"Something happened in the north."
"General Qin Xiong led his army to attack Luoxia Pass, but was ambushed by the Tianlang Clan. The army suffered heavy casualties, and General Qin Xiong was besieged by the enemy."
