After following Zheng Jun, who had changed his name, to the palace, the young emperor was meeting with more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of War. A man who looked like a first-class military general was kneeling in the palace and was telling Zhu Yunwen what happened on the front line: "Your Majesty, the Yan army must be using

Got a demon

It's illegal. At that time, our army of 500,000 troops stormed Zhengcunba. All the guards around Zhu Di were killed by crossbows, but he was not injured at all. All the soldiers in our army witnessed this with their own eyes, and all the soldiers who came back were

I can testify for Jinglong..."

The speaker was Li Jinglong, the commander-in-chief who brought down nearly 600,000 troops. He had been back in Beijing for some time. The ministers in the capital all advocated that he be punished, but they were stopped by the young emperor Zhu Yunwen.

He put all the responsibility for the defeat on himself. He only deprived Li Jinglong of his position as commander-in-chief, but did not investigate his guilt for the defeat.

Now that the Yan army was approaching the border, Zhu Yunwen summoned all the generals in the capital to the palace and asked them how to retreat from the enemy. The defeated general Li Jinglong said a few words first, but he didn't say a word about the main topic. He wanted to defeat himself first.

The blame was completely removed.

"Li Jinglong! Your Majesty asked you about your strategy to retreat from the enemy, not how you defeated the 570,000-strong army!" Qi Tai, the newly appointed Minister of War, who was standing aside, became more and more angry as he listened. He roughly interrupted Li Jinglong's words. His face turned red.

He said to the retired commander: "After destroying all 570,000 troops, you still have the dignity to return to Beijing? If I were you, I would have already

You risked your life in the army! When you besieged Peiping with an army of 500,000, what a wonderful situation it was... but you were beaten back 50 miles by 80,000 Peiping troops. After defeating Peiping, you said that someone cast a magic spell to attract people.

The monsters ate the soldiers who attacked the city. This time Zhengcunba was defeated and you said it was King Yan’s sorcerers who cast evil spells! How long do you want to deceive His Majesty with such nonsense!"

After finishing speaking, Qi Shangshu glared at Li Jinglong fiercely, then turned to the young emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Li Jinglong's campaign was unfavorable, and his army of 570,000 fell short. Please decree that Li Jinglong be brought to trial. If this person is not killed, he will not be killed."

It is difficult for the officers and soldiers of the three armies to convince the masses..."

"Okay...why are we talking about this again? Didn't I say it? The fault of the army's defeat is my fault..." While speaking, the little emperor happened to see Wu Mian walking into the palace, Gui Bugui and the two

Monster. The four of them are not outsiders. No matter how secret the conference room was, they were not kept secret from the four of them. It was often the little emperor and his ministers who discussed politics in the palace. Wu Mian, Gui Gui, who among them was sitting in the corner?

Protect the safety of the emperor.

"The immortals are finally back. In the morning, I was still talking to Zheng Jun about you guys." After meeting Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the four of them, the little emperor laughed and stood up from the dragon throne.

Get up. Get up in person to greet Wu Mian. When he comes to Wu Mian, he will not return to his side.

Afterwards, Zhu Yunwen continued: "The immortals came at the right time. Li Jinglong said that he met the magicians of King Yan at Zhengcunba. This led to the defeat of the army. You old man is here to testify that the 570,000-strong army was not because of the magic of the magicians.

Otherwise, we won’t lose so cleanly…”

When he heard this, the little emperor was still speaking for himself. Li Jinglong hurriedly turned around, knelt on the ground and said: "At the end of the day, the general will lead more than 500,000 soldiers to encircle and suppress Zhengcunba in three ways..."

"Commander Li, there's no need to waste your words. Old man, I just heard something..." Gui Bugui didn't wait for Li Jinglong to finish speaking. He directly planned what the great commander would say. After a chuckle, the old guy continued: "But, old man, I

If you say so, I'm afraid Commander Li will be disappointed. Yishu

There are ways to disrupt a small army of hundreds of people, but I have never heard of using magic like this among hundreds of thousands of troops. Unless the great alchemist Xu Fu returns from overseas, I can't think of anyone who can do it.

Casting magic affects so many soldiers..."

Seeing that his words were refuted by Gui Bugui, Li Jinglong hurriedly continued to explain to the old guy. However, the little emperor waved his hand to stop him and said: "This is the end of Zhengcunba's matter. From now on, no one will do anything in front of me.

You can mention it again... Violators will be punished as disrespectful."

These few words of the little emperor were regarded as an edict. At that moment, except for himself, Wu Mian, and Gui Bugui, all the other officials knelt down.

"Okay, you all should go back and rest." Zhu Yunwen was still the same as before, smiling at Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others and continued: "Zhu Di's message asked me to punish you for your crimes, so you two will take the blame.

Go to the foreign government to recruit troops for me. Before the Yan army reaches the capital, it won't be difficult for you to bring back 500,000 soldiers to serve the king..."

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng knew that the emperor intended to let them escape from Shangjing. They knew that staying in Shangjing would give King Yan an excuse to rebel. At that moment, they looked at each other and then knelt down to the little emperor.

After kowtowing a few times and wanting to say a few more words, Zheng Jun, under the emperor's instruction, helped the two of them up with his guards. Then he took the two ministers out of the palace.

…

After looking at other officials and the generals leaving the palace one after another, the little emperor smiled at Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the two monsters, and said: "I have been pestered by these people these days, asking them to

Tell me some good strategies to retreat from the enemy. I can’t even tell you one after another. If one or two of the great commanders who followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the country were still alive, I wouldn’t be in this situation now..."

At this point, Zhu Yunwen smiled again and continued: "Why are you saying these disappointing words? It spoils my interest in seeing the immortals again. Which immortal can tell me about the Monster Mountain? I heard that those who follow a few

The monks who attacked Monster Mountain together have returned. I also sent people to ask, and they support

I can’t explain clearly. They only said that a few people disappeared in Yaoshan, but they couldn’t tell what happened. Others said that you and several of you have been killed, and they will wait until I retreat from the Yan army in Peking.

So I went to seal their sect. Several immortal leaders came in to talk. You should tell me carefully about what you have seen in Monster Mountain..."

While talking, the little emperor took Wu Mian and Gui Bugui's hands and walked towards the palace. He asked the eunuchs to find some chairs and continued to ask Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and the two monsters about Monster Mountain in the palace.

’s experiences.

"Now that we are facing a formidable enemy, it is rare that Your Majesty is still so cheerful." After Gui Bugui smiled, he continued to say to the little emperor: "Originally, old man, I was still worried about Your Majesty, but now that I see His Majesty being so calm and composed, I must have something.

Come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy..."

"I don't have any plans. It's just about enjoying the hardships." The little emperor smiled bitterly and continued: "I just thought about it. If God bless me, even if King Yan comes with a million troops, I can still defeat the enemy.

.If Heaven destroys me, then whatever I do will be in vain. Just like this time, the 570,000-strong army was defeated by the 80,000-strong Yan army. Speaking of which, it is like watching a play."

"Little Emperor, you are talking like this. I, who was once the Demon King, don't recognize you." After glancing at Zhu Yunwen, Bai Wuqiu stepped forward and continued: "I, a weak-minded person, know that one third of it depends on luck.

Seven points depend on strength. If you are great, God will naturally surround you..."

"Silly boy, stop talking nonsense. Since Your Majesty wants to hear it, I will tell you about Yaoshan..." When he said this, Gui Bugui smiled and turned to the little emperor to tell Yaoshan's story.

He told everything he saw and heard.

At first, the little emperor listened with great interest, but then his face showed sleepiness. After yawning a dozen times involuntarily, he leaned his head on the chair. Then during Gui Bugui's explanation, the little emperor

The emperor actually leaned back in his chair and spoke in a deep voice..."

"Thank you, old immortal. Your Majesty has not slept for three days." After seeing the little emperor leaning on the back of the chair and falling asleep, Zheng Jun came over. He took off his cloak and put it on the emperor's body, and then tiptoed over.
