A month later, the letter finally reached Queen Yanqing's hands.
She casually tapped the table, suppressing her excitement, and slowly opened the letter.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
She slammed her hand on the table and stood up in anger.
"Attack Dajing."
War broke out.
The Xianyu people are known for their fierce and warlike nature, and they have launched three wars in succession, making them highly experienced in combat.
In contrast, Dajing, which had not fought a war in nearly thirty years, suffered a series of defeats from the very beginning, losing three cities in a row.
Panic gripped the entire government and the public.
At this critical juncture, Mu Qianhan rebelled.
He abandoned his wife and children and fled the capital, establishing his own independent regime with an army.
The Great Jing is in chaos.
...
The night was hazy.
Mu Qianhan and Gu Wan'er shared a drink.
After many years apart, Gu Wan'er's brows showed signs of hardship, but also revealed a charm honed by the years.
Mu Qianhan's former refined demeanor has faded, replaced by a more gloomy air.
He always had a question in his mind: if he had honestly answered that what he saw was the throne on the day Emperor Renzong questioned him, would the outcome have been different?
But no one could answer that.
He still harbors resentment!
I thought I could only be a carefree prince for the rest of my life.
It wasn't until he met Gu Wan'er again that his imperial ambitions were rekindled.
Looking back, he realized that their encounter was also a setup by her, but he didn't care.
Those who can accomplish great things do not concern themselves with trifles.
With Gu Wan'er's financial support, he was able to secretly cultivate such a private army.
They waited for this golden opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Mu Qianzhong.
It's just a pity about his queen and son.
"Let's drink to our hearts' content today, and toast Your Highness with a cup of fine wine," Gu Wan'er said, slowly raising her cup. Her fair wrist and bright eyes were captivating.
"Well said!" Mu Qianhan downed his drink in one gulp.
The two drank cup after cup, and before long they were quite drunk.
Gu Wan'er, her eyes still blurry with drunkenness, said, "It's getting late, Your Highness, shouldn't you rest?"
A look of disgust flashed in Mu Qianhan's eyes as she gently pushed Gu Wan'er's hand away. "You should rest."
Gu Wan'er gave a mocking smile: Men! They beg you and they complain about you, it's really funny.
After Mu Qianhan left.
She pondered for a long time.
With a light clap of her hands, a beautiful woman dressed as a woman stepped out from behind the screen, but when she spoke, it was a man's voice.
"What are your orders, Miss?"
Gu Wan'er raised her hand slightly, her smile captivating. "Serve me."
The man whispered, "Yes!"
He skillfully picked up Gu Wan'er and carried her to the bed, then removed their clothes.
Gu Wan'er chuckled lightly. With money, what kind of man couldn't she get? Besides, she still preferred obedient men.
The night was exceptionally long.
...
Dajing was beset by internal and external troubles.
Mu Qianzhong split his forces into two groups to deal with Xian Yu and Mu Qianhan, and was immediately overwhelmed with trouble.
Mu Qianhan stirred up various conflicts hidden within Dajing along the way.
Especially the merchants who had been severely suppressed before, all of whom were from powerful families and harbored resentment. With Mu Qianhan's further provocation, many people contributed money and manpower to help them.
Mu Qianhan thus gathered a huge army and advanced triumphantly all the way to the capital.
Yan Qing knew that Da Jing was in trouble, so he ordered a fierce attack and captured three more cities in succession.
The soldiers of Dajing were terrified and could only stay inside, letting the Xianyu people shout and curse outside.
Queen Yan Qing sent an envoy to visit: Princess Mi Jia was sent away, and Xian Yu withdrew from Da Jing.
In a fit of rage, Mu Qianzhong spat out a mouthful of blood.
After three years on the throne, the Great Jing Dynasty was beset by internal and external troubles.
He was truly unconvinced!
Princess Mijia volunteered to marry the Xianyu.
Mu Qianzhong's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He looked at Mi Jia, but couldn't bring himself to say a single word.
He felt a deep sense of bitterness; Da Jing had utterly disgraced him.
Just then.
Another person came to report.
The King of Chu rebelled.
Mu Qianzhong's mind went blank, his vision blurred, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Heaven is going to destroy me!
