In the Northern Tang imperial capital, outside the Qiankun Gate, on the towering Qifengtai, Empress Dowager Tang, who was smiling like a flower, stood there, and cheered at the scene.

Today, her hair is as thick as a cloud, her eyebrows and eyes are smiling, her clothes are all golden in the ground, and her palace outfit with phoenix dancing in the sky is very solemn and luxurious.

Time flies, and fifteen years have passed in a blink of an eye. Miss Tang San, who was back then, has now practiced to become the most prosperous Queen Mother Tang.

The ministers were lined with each other, and the field was a majestic army soldiers. The commander Shangguan was standing on the left of Qifengtai, while Liu Tingxi was on the right. The head assistant Si and Empress Dowager Tang were in the center. His eyes were like torches, and he nodded frequently to the soldiers of the three armies below the stage and waved his hand.

The soldiers sang: Long live the Northern Tang Dynasty! The Queen Mother is Thousand Years! The Prince is Thousand Years!

Half a year ago, the Northern Tang Army, led by King Shenxian Shangguan Zheng, headed south. After several months of bloody battles, on May 28 of the following year, finally attacked the Great Zhou Kingdom on the southern front.

Looking back on the years of war, the day before the fall of the Great Zhou Kingdom's Kangning Capital, after the scouts reported, the female emperor Pingnan carried countless gold, silver and treasures overnight, two thousand imperial guards and palace maids, fled to the east in a hurry, adjacent to the northern Tang border, Taixing Prefecture.

Speaking of which, Taixing Prefecture was a fertile place east of the Northern Tang Dynasty. The folk customs here are simple and beautiful, and it is a well-known town of fish and rice.

Jiren Village is home to more than 300 people. They are hardworking and simple, and have raised many outstanding people. I heard that the ancestral home of the Pilgrimage Master Zunsi is here.

Twenty years ago, a sudden border dispute between the Northern Tang and the Northern Desert broke out, and the two sides were stalemate. Two months later, soldiers from the Northern Desert attacked Jiren Village at night, massacred and robbed, and did everything evil. A good village was massacred and occupied by the Northern Desert people.

The people of Beimo said: If the ceasing is not ceased, the war will continue to extend to the next village. Only then did the imperial court ceded Taixing Prefecture.

History is painful and a shame for the Northern Tang court. Especially after Fei Yunxiao ascended the throne, he vowed: This place will never be restored, and he will never give up!

Therefore, over the years, this has become the biggest knot in Empress Dowager Tang.

Now, the Northern Tang Kingdom not only took back Taixing Prefecture, but also supported by the ministers, Empress Dowager Tang has fulfilled her long-cherished wish to unify the world with her husband Feiyunxiao.

At this moment, the sound of horns and salutes roaring. The grand scene of rewarding the three armies is really shocking.

Liu Tingxi, Shangguan Zheng, Si Guan Guardian, Chu Heng and other wise ministers and generals stood on the side of Qifengtai. The two sons of Empress Dowager Tang, Shangguan Yuan and Shangguan Xiao, have long grown into elegant and elegant young men.

"Dear Mother, please accept your son's worship! Without you, there would be no Northern Tang today. Thank you for your hard work!"

The two brothers spoke in unison and both kneeled in front of their mother's followers.

"Your son, you two should thank them again!" Empress Dowager Tang said in a trembling voice.

She brushed her wide golden sleeves and quietly wiped away the tears in the corners of her eyes. When the ministers saw it, they were deeply moved and bowed to her and her son.

The Holy Master's eyes flushed, and the old man choked and said, "For the past few years, the Empress Dowager has worked so hard! Fifteen years have passed, and she has worked diligently for the country and country, managed the court internally, built fertile fields and military weapons outside... I feel sorry for me. Today, the Northern Tang Dynasty finally unified the world. I wonder if my son knows it? Cough cough..."

The presiding minister was full of tears, and he was choked up and couldn't say anything. On and off the stage, after a silence, the soldiers of the army shouted in unison:

"Thank you for your hard work, Empress, Thousand Years, Lord Master, Thank you for your hard work!"

"I wish the Northern Tang Dynasty a permanent country, auspicious country, and a safe people's livelihood, long live, long live!"

Immediately afterwards, the thunderous harmony resounded inside and outside the Qiankun Gate. On the Qifengtai, Empress Dowager Tang, who had already grown a beautiful hair, burst into tears. Liu Tingxi hurried over and gently wiped away her hot tears.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's fifteen years, although bitter but sweet, we are lucky to finally fulfill the old wish of the Emperor! You should smile, come, smile!"

The low and gentle words of Liutingxi are as warm as the spring breeze. Queen Mother Tang's long eyelashes tremble slightly, and the crystal clear tears slid down again...

Seeing this, the two princes hurried over and held their hands together and said, "Father Zhong, take good care of their mother, son Chen, please ask you!"

Liu Tingxi nodded, gently held the empress dowager's jade finger and quickly let go. However, his stunning eyes had already rippled with a strong sense of pampering.

"Well, I am very happy... Look at you, I forgot to shave the stubble..."

As soon as the meaningful words of Empress Dowager Tang fell, Shangguan Zheng came over with great enthusiasm and said respectfully:

"I wish the Queen Mother to meet the Queen Mother, I wish the Queen Mother a good body and good luck!"

Empress Dowager Tang helped her finger and said softly: "Prince, the current huge Northern Tang Dynasty may have to change to a more majestic national name, right?"

Shangguan Zheng looked happy, his throat slid and said excitedly: "The Queen Mother... This is a big event, and we must carefully discuss and decide before deciding!"

"Haha, it's time to change it! Yuan'er, Xiao'er, prepare wine and meat, let's drink it all together with the soldiers!"

Dongdong, Dongdong, there was a lot of gongs and drums... In the military camp, there were cheers.

The ceremony is over...

The two brothers Shangguan Yuan hugged the assistant in front of the mother and were about to speak when they suddenly heard the assistant in front of him: "Empress Dowager, thank you for your hard work today. Let's go back to the palace to rest for now. All matters will be discussed tomorrow morning!"

"Empress Dowager, the empress dowager is fulfilled, and these three armies should be finished!" King Shenxian raised his hands.

"Oh, listen to the Prime Minister... I will discuss it tomorrow. You, go see Hu'er, I am tired too!"

"Empress Dowager... Empress Dowager" Shangguan Zheng followed and called out.

...

In Fengyi Pavilion, Empress Dowager Tang pulled the two brothers Shangguan Yuan and sighed: "Son, through our Northern Tang army, we fought hard and fought south and north, and finally got the hardest Great Zhou. Now, although your father's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, the future path is still dangerous and unpredictable. Do you understand?"

"Mother, my son and brother understand that they must study hard and practice hard and obey the imperial edict!"

"Yeah, just be sure you understand. Tomorrow's court meeting is very important. Mother hopes you will also listen!"

"Yes, my son obeys the order!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Empress Dowager Tang held the hands of the two brothers and felt relieved: these two children have finally grown up!

...

On this side, the official road of Taixing Mansion was filled with horses and people shouting, and dust was flying.

"Emperor, Chief Guard Lu has something to report..." In front of the sedan chair, Lin Zhanger, the personal palace maid, whispered.

In the sedan chair, Ping Nan put down the books in his hand and ordered without raising his head: "All the soldiers, hurry to the northeast and go straight to Taixing Prefecture!"

"Yes, I will send the order now!"

Rip, rip... The team of more than 3,000 people did not walk very quickly, colorful and curved.

After three days of trekking, the palace maids were exhausted and tilted, humming and wanting to eat and drink.

"Brother, look at these maids who have lived in the palace all year round, and the bear-like appearance of the guards, hum!" Guard He Shan said contemptuously.

Lu An turned around, his eyes flashed across the hungry, tired palace maids. He was also distressed: If the Northern Tang army chased after him at this time, we would be dead! You still want to take a break and ask for food and drink. I really think it's going out for an outing, hum!"

The palace maid Lin Zhanger, with a round face and a green dress, is the oldest palace maid to serve the female emperor. Because of her delicate mind and cautiousness, she is deeply trusted by Pingnan.

She glanced at the tired and hungry sisters and said softly to the sedan chair: "Your Majesty, you are tired all the way, are you going outside the sedan chair? "

Pingnan picked up a corner of the car curtain and glanced outward and said, "Okay, then... I'll go down and go and do it!"

Seeing that the queen's tone was calm, Lin Zhanger felt a little relieved. In fact, she hoped that the emperor would get out of the sedan chair... Everyone could also take a break and find a source of drinking water.

Sure enough, Ping Nan got out of the sedan chair and looked around, feeling moved, and sighed quietly, saying to himself: You all take a break... It's time to have a meal!

As soon as she finished speaking, a tall figure strode forward in the team ahead.

Push, the person who came to kneel down and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, this day... I'm afraid it will rain heavily! Look, the dark clouds are coming, it seems..."

He looked around again: "The terrain here is relatively high, so my subordinates recommend camping on the spot... to avoid thunderstorms and then move forward."

"Enter the camp? Lu An, what are you talking nonsense? Send the order, the army will take a break and move forward quickly!"

Seeing the queen's face unhappy, Lu An didn't dare to speak and hurriedly got up and left.

Rumble... As expected, the team walked for only ten miles, with dark clouds pressing down on the sky, thunder and lightning, and a heavy rain was already rushing.

Lu An was worried, and helplessly turned his head to look at the team and whispered loudly, "Everyone walks carefully, there may be mountain torrents and pits in the low-lying areas ahead."

A rush, an hour passed, and the storm was still raging. The heavy rain poured through everyone's clothes, and several weak palace maids were already trembling.

Outside the dragon chariot, Lin Zhanger's lips and teeth were trembling with coldness. She panicked: "Emperor, Master, the mountain torrent broke out, and the chariot hub fell into the pit!"

She exclaimed in panic and immediately summoned all the guards in the lead. Lu An waved his hand, wiped the rain and hair on his forehead, and ordered everyone to immediately push the sedan chair trapped in the mud pit.

This is a basin surrounded by hills, and mountain torrents roared. The flood quickly flooded the official road and rushed towards the lower terrain.

Suddenly, the mound on the back collapsed, and the flood mixed with mudslides and swept down. The weeds and shrubs rose up. The team could not dodge. The people in the palace screamed in horror, some were buried, and some were swept away with the supplies.

Fortunately, the emperor's sedan chair was not buried. Hi... Hi... Hi, in the heavy rain, the guards tried hard to pull, and the palace maids pushed back, but the chariot hub was always spinning in the pit and could not push out the mud pit.

For a moment, cries and calls for help rose everywhere.

"What should I do? The chariot hub is slipping, maybe I have to ask the emperor to get out of the sedan chair..."

Lu An was anxious and shouted:

"Oh, Xiao Erduo, go and pick up some stones to cushion."

"And you, go find some haystacks."

Empress Pingnan was also very angry when she listened to the words and deeds of Lu An and the guards in the heavy rain.

"This is the ghost weather of M that bully me like this? The country of Great Zhou is ruined so cowardly!"

Whistle... "God, you are joking with me too much! Why, why do you want to help Xiao Tangyuan? I am not convinced, I am not convinced! Shangguan Zheng, Bei Tang, my battle with you is not over yet!"

With a bang, a teacup flew out and happened to hit the forehead of a guard. Then, with two clangs, the top cover of the sedan chair flew out a foot away. A cold light pierced out from the roof of the dragon chariot. In the air, Pingnan, with a cold eyebrows, pierced a cold sword, and a cold sword energy was pierced out.

"Emperor, Master, be careful of the dragon body!"

In the heavy rain, everyone was terrified and trembling.

"Your Majesty, please calm down... As the saying goes, keep the green mountains there, don't be afraid..."

Suddenly, with a "puff", Ping Nan flew down and stabbed a long sword into the lower abdomen of a guard. Ah! Everyone was shocked and shouted, and took a few steps back.
