When Li Mingshun brought his guards to the somewhat artistic Caili City Lord's Mansion, he was really disgusted by Zhao Ji.
This orthodox emperor of the Great China Empire renovated the city lord's palace in Caili City, using the hard-earned money of the local people.
The newly renovated City Lord's Mansion still has a shabby look and feel. As long as you look carefully, you can see the dilapidation and decadence in the corners. After all, no matter how well a village woman dresses, she cannot become a princess, and no matter how good a City Lord's Mansion is,
Decoration cannot make an empire's palace.
But in a place like this, a place where any emperor with a little ambition would not waste time here, Zhao Ji actually became so complacent.
There was a smell in the air that upset Li Mingshun, the smell of women, the smell of men, the fishy smell of women and men entangled together.
Some women who were not even energetic were lying almost naked on the carpet in the hall. They were so accustomed to the guards passing by that they didn't even change their expressions.
Every day they would have fornication with the emperor's guards, the emperor's ministers, the emperor's attendants, and the emperor's grooms. In front of the emperor, they would use various postures and various shouts to make the emperor happy.
The young emperor used this to win over talents who were loyal to him and to establish unbreakable relationships with each other.
That's right, everyone has played with the same woman. It became a way for Zhao Ji to win over the ministers. Frankly speaking... it was an embarrassing and disgraceful way.
Li Mingshun ignored those listless women with bare breasts. He just led the soldiers forward. His leather boots stepped on the carpet and then on the stone ground, and the spikes made a clicking sound.
He walked to a door, which was the bedroom door of the "Palace". The waiter opened the door for Li Mingshun without even knocking.
With a creak, the door opened. The scene inside the bedroom came into Li Mingshun's eyes: He saw at least three women wrapped around Zhao Ji like vines, and the emperor who seemed normal two or three months ago was already gone at this moment.
It's no different than a mummy.
The arm that looked like a dead branch was raised, and it shook weakly at Li Mingshun twice. A feeble voice sounded, filling the room with laziness and decadence: "General...are you here? My dears,
This is the great general of Dahua!"
Zhao Ji didn't even have the strength to sit up from the bed because he was hungover last night and his head still hurt badly.
Those women who were supposed to be queens or concubines had no intention of covering up their bodies. They squinted their eyes and looked at Li Mingshun, as if propriety, justice and integrity no longer existed here.
Looking at the bottles of various wines scattered on the ground, there were even many expensive Chang'an 3-year-old wines from the Tang Dynasty... To be able to find such wine at this time and place, Emperor Zhao Ji, who owned Li Mingshun, couldn't drink it.
Honey's Yuan Shu looks much better.
"How about it? These are all carefully selected by me. If the general likes it, he can take it to the next door." Zhao Ji generously expressed his respect or favor for Li Mingshun: Look, this emperor doesn't even care about himself.
All the women on the bed have been given to you, so you can tell whether they are generous or not!
"Your Majesty, Xiqing has been lost, and this place will soon become the front line! You are still here... so, so..." Li Mingshun did not think of a word to describe Zhao Ji for a moment.
He stuttered twice, then ignored the guards behind him who were looking wildly at him, took two steps forward and continued: "There are more than 80,000 soldiers crowded in the city, and they don't train or do anything all day long..."
Having said this, he was still very resentful. If these troops had been sent to Xiqing earlier, he might still be fighting in Xiqing now.
As a result, Zhao Ji, a bastard, held on to hundreds of thousands of troops and wasted his time in Cailihua. But he refused to hand over these troops to Li Mingshun.
Well now, Xiqing is lost and everything is too late...
"Isn't this all your general's business? What's wrong with me keeping some soldiers around to protect my own safety? General, why do you blame me in turn?" Zhao Ji, who had a splitting headache, stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
He scratched the edge of the red abscess on his chest, regained consciousness more or less, and retorted disdainfully: "If you can't hold on, I won't hold you accountable. Are you prepared to betray my trust, General?"
"Your Majesty! If this continues, it will be over!" Li Mingshun took a step forward and said, hating that iron was not made of steel. He really wanted to arouse Zhao Ji's fighting spirit and cheer up the emperor again.
It's a pity that from the moment he became emperor, Zhao Ji began to mess up: if his empire was still the complete Great China Empire, maybe he was just more arrogant and extravagant, and at least he had some ideas of his own.
But when he lost the imperial capital and had no choice but to escape to Xiqing, he knew that the end was over. So he indulged in enjoyment and did not think about the future at all.
In fact, Zhao Ji didn't want to die. He had already chosen a way out for himself: he would escape to Shu, where he would take a plane to the Kingdom of Shu. The Speaker of the Kingdom of Shu, Liu Jing, had promised him in a telegram that he could
Guarantee him to go to the Eastern Continent, and someone can continue to give him glory and wealth.
As for people like Li Mingshun... Zhao Ji doesn't care at all. What he cares about has been obtained. He is the emperor of the Dahua Empire! No one can change this fact!
Li Mingshun didn't know about the private deal between Liu Jing and Zhao Ji. If he knew, he would definitely give Zhao Ji a slap in the face: When you fly from Shu to Shu, you have to pass through the Qin-controlled area!
Now there are only 47 transport planes at the field airport on the Shu side. How can you avoid Qin's Type 36 fighter jets with that junk?
You must know that the Qin State is one of the Three Emperors Alliance, and the Qin Emperor is the father-in-law of the Tang Emperor. The two countries are now inseparable. How can the Qin Air Force let you go?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Ji is not unaware of these things, but he has been numbing himself with alcohol and has been imagining that he can escape.
As for continuing to resist? Isn’t there Li Mingshun? Wouldn’t it be over if we just let this “general of the Great China Empire” worry about it?
Looking at the abscesses on Zhao Ji's body, Li Mingshun frowned, snorted and turned around to leave. He no longer planned to dedicate his loyalty to this emperor.
He made up his mind and was ready to find a good destination for his future: if Zhao Yu accepted him as a general, then he could continue to fight for the Dahua Empire. This seemed to be a good idea.
On the other side, Zhao Jie, who knew that Tang Guo had captured Guiguang, was thinking about whether it was possible for him... to talk to Li Mingshun about this matter.
As long as Zhao Yu is accused of betraying one-third of the country, he will definitely be questioned by the people of China! This kind of humiliation and humiliation of the country is impossible for anyone to accept.
If Zhao Yu is betrayed by everyone because of this incident, then it seems that Zhao Jie will have a chance to return to the imperial capital and rule the world!
In Zhao Jie's view, the only stumbling block is Li Mingshun: if this bastard holds Zhao Jie back from the flank, things will become complicated.
So Zhao Jie planned to win over Li Mingshun... As for Zhao Ji, no matter how hard Zhao Jie's ears and eyes were, he heard some unpalatable news about Zhao Ji in Pingfeng.
"If the late Emperor Zhao Kai had made up his mind to depose Zhao Ji as the crown prince, things might have been completely different." This is how Zhao Jie commented on Zhao Ji at this moment.
Zhao Yu, who was in charge of the imperial capital, was in a good situation at this time. He deployed his troops and generals with great ambition, as if he was the first commander-in-chief in the world.
After capturing Xiqing, Zhao Yu, who had the advantage, had a strong army: in terms of numbers alone, he had about 1.5 million troops. Most of the weapons used by these troops came from the Tang Dynasty!
Zhao Yu, who owns hundreds of Butcher fighter jets and Stukas, has an air force that is not far behind the neighboring Qin Empire. Not to mention that his troops have been tested in wars and have rich experience and high morale.
Zhao Jie, who was under great pressure, was not only considering wooing Li Mingshun, but also considering whether to take advantage of the situation and sneak attack into Shu City in Zhao Ji's hands.
He felt that if he could win this place, it would mean gaining more territory, more soldiers, and at the same time more bargaining chips.
For Zhao Ji, entering Shu was just an escape route, but for Zhao Jie, it was a strategic passage connecting the Qin Empire!
After occupying that place, he could have a good talk with the Qin State to see if the Qin State would be interested in him as a "barrier" against the Tang Empire.
With him at the front, there is a buffer between Qin and Tang, and his buffer is different from that of Zhao Yu! He can favor Qin!
In other words, between Qin and Tang, there is only a buffer zone in the north of the Dahua Empire. The northern part of this buffer zone is already controlled by Zhao Yu, the puppet regime supported by Tang. What about the south? Does Qin need Zhao Jie?
?
From this point of view, Zhao Jie felt that he still had some existence value. If it didn't work out... Zhao Jie would negotiate a good price and annex all the areas under his control to the Qin State!
He really didn't believe that Emperor Qin Yingduo wouldn't give him a good treatment when he surrendered with four powerful cities and a large territory!
Therefore, on the one hand, Zhao Jie mobilized troops and generals to try his luck in entering Shu, and on the other hand, he sent secret envoys to win over Li Mingshun, a general with military power.
On the other side, Zhao Yu is preparing to attack with troops to solve the problem of Zhao Ji's "legitimate emperor". His idea is very simple: it is the same strategy that Zhao Jie offered to Zhao Kai! Close the door and beat the dog, capture Caili, and occupy Shu.
Give Zhao Jie a hard time to close the door and beat the dog!
