After regaining the military power of the Ye family, Jun Zechen began to train the army in various cities of the Jun Kingdom, and even went to the military camp to train in person. He was ready to go to the battlefield himself, and he wanted to be an emperor on horseback in this life.
Because deep down in Jun Zechen's heart, he didn't want to face the current palace.
The second year of Chongwu.
Jun Zechen led his army to attack Canglang fiercely. Relying on the memories of his previous life, he was unstoppable all the way. After half a year, he finally reached the Canglang Imperial City.
Just like in the previous life, he saved his cousin Qi Wanyin.
Jun Zechen was not very impressed with his cousin. He casually sent someone to escort her back to the capital, and then continued to lead his army south to attack Yuehui and Lingyu, and then headed west all the way to Yuelin Kingdom.
Jun Zechen's personal expedition took longer this time than in his previous life. In his previous life, he only personally attacked the most difficult Canglang, and arranged trusted soldiers to lead the troops of other small countries.
But in this life, he spent three years personally recovering all the countries adjacent to the monarchy and changing the monarchy into the Great Monarch Dynasty.
During these three years, the Queen Mother and the ministers in the court had pleaded with him to return to the court more than once, but Jun Zechen seemed to be addicted to killing on the battlefield.
The pervasive blood and brutal killings allowed him to temporarily forget the pain in his heart.
However, the war will eventually end.
In the third year of Chongwu, Jun Zechen led his troops back in triumph.
The people were waiting at the city gate early in the morning. Jun Zechen was wearing armor, which was shining coldly under the sunlight.
His face was cold and solemn, like an iceberg, making people dare not approach him easily. The murderous aura emanating from his body was even more frightening. Sitting high on his warhorse, his posture was upright, like the god of war descending, majestic and awe-inspiring.
After returning to the palace, the Queen Mother and the concubines were waiting there early to welcome His Majesty.
A red carpet was laid at the main entrance of the palace, flags were flying, the court guards were arranged in an orderly manner, drums and music were playing, and the scene was extremely grand and magnificent.
The palace maids and eunuchs stood with their heads bowed, respectful and solemn.
During these three years, Tang Suxi gave birth to the second prince and was promoted to noble concubine by the empress dowager. Lin Miaoyin gave birth to the third prince and was promoted to noble concubine by the empress dowager, with the power to assist in managing the six palaces.
Lin Miaoyin looked at His Majesty, whom she hadn't seen for three years, and tears inexplicably flashed in her eyes. She felt extremely emotional.
Your Majesty has never met her third prince in three years. Shouldn't Your Majesty have forgotten the queen?
Lin Miaoyin's eyes were full of tenderness, her gaze like water as she looked at Jun Zechen, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, trying to show her most beautiful side.
The moment Jun Zechen dismounted, all the court officials and guards knelt down and shouted in unison, as if they had been trained long ago.
"Your Majesty is a mighty warrior. You have personally led an expedition and returned victorious, defeating the enemy thousands of miles away and bringing glory to our nation. You are unrivaled in history and in the present. Long live Your Majesty!"
The sound was like a huge bell, resounding through the sky and deafening.
As the court officials saluted, Jun Zechen walked towards the Queen Mother.
The armor added to his majesty.
The six concubines were nervous and expectant. After not seeing His Majesty for three years, he looked even more majestic and handsome.
He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a resolute face, but the strong murderous and ruthless aura he exuded made people feel awe.
They also greeted him one after another, their voices soft but in unison: "Long live His Majesty."
Jun Zechen frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Stand up."
Walking up to the Queen Mother, Jun Zechen bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Mother."
Although the empress dowager was dissatisfied with the emperor's three-year military expedition without regard for his own safety, she still showed relief in her eyes when she saw her son, whom she had not seen for a long time, return safely.
"I'm glad you're back."
The three-year-old eldest prince Jun Yihuan stood quietly beside the empress dowager, his little face tense and his expression cold beyond his age, his dark eyes staring straight at his father.
Something doesn't feel right.
On the day Jun Yihuan was born, he was secretly glad that he was lucky enough to be the queen mother's son again in this life.
However, he was just born and still in swaddling clothes and could not speak, but he learned the sad news of his mother's death from his aunt Miaoyun who took care of him.
At that moment, he was filled with shock and disbelief.
My father loved my mother so much, and she was so smart, how could she die like this!
But before he grew up to find out the truth, his father resolutely went to war.
This world seems to have many similarities with his previous life, but there are also too many completely different things.
Today, Jun Yihuan looked at his tall and stern father, who looked both like and unlike his father in his previous life.
In his previous life, the emperor was only cold on the surface, but now he exudes a murderous aura all over his body.
Jun Zechen felt Jun Yihuan's focused gaze, and his indifferent eyes slowly moved downwards. As soon as he saw Jun Yihuan's face, he was instantly as if he was cast under a spell, staring at him intently, unable to move away.
How could these eyebrows and expressions be so similar to hers?
Jun Zechen couldn't help but stretch out his hand.
Jun Yihuan stared at his father with his big eyes without blinking, his little face still tense. Although he was a little reluctant in his heart, he still walked towards his father and raised his little hand to place it on Jun Zechen's big hand.
My father failed to protect my mother in this life. He is so useless.
The Queen Mother and her son expressed different emotions, and a loving smile appeared on their faces.
"Emperor, this is the eldest prince. He has been intelligent since childhood and has your demeanor. Yihuan, call me father."
The Queen Mother's voice was gentle and kind.
In addition to spending a lot of time in Kunning Palace, another place Jun Yihuan often went to in his life was Cining Palace. After his mother died, the Empress Dowager loved him very much and would call him to Cining Palace every few days to play with him and tell him stories.
Therefore, Jun Yihuan couldn't refuse the Empress Dowager's face. He pursed his lips and said crisply, "Father."
