After all, Empress Dowager Tao was worried about a joke from Princess Dingtao.

I felt a little uneasy.

after……

When Dingtao left the palace, she asked Emperor Xiao Chengwen, "Is Dingtao joking or to be honest? She really likes a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old? How did her vision of men change so much?"

Emperor Xiao Chengwen's attitude was very clear, "She said that she was not in a hurry to get married, so she should not worry about her mother. The students in the Imperial Academy will be pillars of the court in the future and must serve me. Dingtao must not be harmed! Therefore, since Dingtao said it was a joke, we might as well treat it as a joke and don't worry about it."

"How can I not care about it? Could it be that I really want to watch her die alone?"

"If the mother is worried that no one will give her a care for her, in a few years, she might as well adopt a child from the royal family. Or... Has the mother ever thought that Dingtao doesn't want to get married, she just wants a child."

"You mean Dingtao wants to give birth to a child through seeds?"

"It's possible! Dingtao's personality, it's not surprising that she has any strange ideas."

"fart!"

Speaking of this, Empress Dowager Tao got angry.

"Before Dingtao went to Pingyang County, there were no such strange ideas. It was obvious that Yan Yunge broke Dingtao, and Dingtao was influenced by her, so he had all kinds of messy ideas. I have reminded you that Yan Yunge is not good, and first of all, his character is not up to standard."

Emperor Xiao Chengwen retorted: "Yan Yunge is a person who keeps his promises, and he will definitely do what he promises. From this point of view, her character is better than most people in the world."

"She hurt Dingtao, and you still talk for her. Is she your sister-in-law?"

"I have too many sister-in-laws, and I live in the city several times, and the marriage has not yet been settled. Could it be that I will stand up for them, and I will talk to them?"

Empress Dowager Tao was angry and looked tired, "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. No matter what I say, you will not punish Yan Yunge, let alone punish the Queen."

"They did not make any mistakes, and I can't punish them for no reason."

"Is it wrong for them to anger me? Is it wrong for me to be the empress dowager of the Great Wei Dynasty. Is it wrong for the empress to not please me?"

"Since ancient times, there have been many discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Could it be that every woman who is a daughter-in-law is wrong?" Emperor Xiao Chengwen seemed to be smiling.

Empress Dowager Tao is so angry...

She felt depressed and her face collapsed, "The emperor might as well accuse me of being a bad mother-in-law directly to vent her anger for your queen."

"The queen is joking! It's about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and I will not blame anyone. This is an eternal puzzle. I ask myself that I don't have the ability to solve this problem. You and the queen are both troubled by each other, and I will not interfere."

Emperor Xiao Chengwen thought it very clearly.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicted, he refused to interfere and just acted as a hand-off manager.

It's not him that's cowardly...

All right!

Actually, it's just a little cowardly.

The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is lingering, and the conflict will not truly end until one party dies.

The everlasting contradiction that even the ancient saints could not solve, he asked himself how far he could hide.

To avoid being sandwiched in the middle as an air-receiving cylinder.

Being an emperor is also difficult!

Not only should we worry about military and national affairs, but we should also be distracted from the conflicts in the harem.

Empress Dowager Tao was obviously not satisfied with his attitude, but she had no choice!

She waved her hand, "Go away quickly, go away quickly! I will be angry when I see you. Don't interfere with Dingtao's marriage."

"Don't interfere either. If Dingtao only wants the child but doesn't want to get married, at worst he will be able to help her."

Empress Dowager Tao was speechless, too lazy to listen or talk, and closed her eyes and pretended to go to bed.

Emperor Xiao Chengwen lowered his head and smiled, stood up to say goodbye.

...

The last few months of the first year of Tianhe were destined to be the sound of singing and dancing in the south, and the sound of desolation in the north was the war.

Shi Wen and Liu Zhang, this old enemy is destined to have this battle.

only……

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.

Yesterday was still unstoppable, but tomorrow it may be defeated.

The troops of the "Da Qi" court led by Sima Dou moved.

During this movement, the three parties officially began to fight together.

Shi Wen was ready to fight a protracted war, and he had already joined the court to ask for more food, grass and weapons, and even ask the court to replenish its military resources.

As a result, the report of money and food was sent away for only two days, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. The rapid development was simply shocking.

The "Da Qi" and Liu Zhang fought in a melee. Liu Zhang was as powerful as a rainbow, and he actually attacked the "Da Qi" central army camp in one breath.

Then……

The Emperor Sima Dou of the "Da Qi" was killed in front of the formation.

Under the protection of thousands of troops and the attention of countless pairs of eyes, Sima Dou was cut off by Liu Baoshun's sabre, and his head was different!

boom!

The Central Army of the "Da Qi" was in chaos in an instant.

"The emperor is dead, the emperor is dead!"

"Sima Dou has been killed, this is Sima Dou's head!"

"Put down your weapons and don't kill them! Resist stubbornly and kill without mercy!"

"Sima Dou is dead, and those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy!"

For a moment, various shouts on the battlefield were mixed together, impacting everyone's eardrums and brain.

Without exception, everyone is saying that Sima Dou is dead!

The emperor of "Da Qi" was killed by Liu Baoshun and his body and head were different.

Sima Dou's confidant generals, civil and military ministers, and important figures were all killed off the horse.

It's over!

The big qi is finished!

The sky is endless and the Great Wei!

Shi Wen only learned about Sima Dou's death in this melee.

When he learned the news, Liu Zhang had already begun to recruit Daqi troops and invaded Daqi Palace.

Bang!

Shi Wen patted his thighs.

He scolded Liu Zhang, "Liu Zhang, this turtle grandson, is indeed full of bad water. At the beginning, he deliberately retreated, and it was obvious that the drunkard's intention was not about wine, but about Sima Dou.

Seeing that he was defeated, Sima Dou thought he had an opportunity to take advantage of it, but he didn't expect that he would lose Qingqing's life in the end and was killed by Liu Zhang, without even leaving a complete body. Liu Zhang, the thief, was indeed treacherous.

I will pass on the military orders of my husband. If I retreat, I can retreat. I will defend the estuary of the river and draw the river as the boundary to prevent Liu Zhang from counterattacking. I must not suffer this loss!"

Shi Wen's reaction was quite fast.

Once you see the situation clearly, you will not be worried about the occupied territory, decisively give up, quickly retreat, and occupy the favorable terrain.

He had already thought that Liu Zhang had already formed a power, and the troops in Yuzhou were powerless to stop Liu Zhang's rapid development.

Just wait for Liu Zhang to capture the "Da Qi" palace and take down the city. The entire northern land and three-quarters of the territory will fall into the hands of the Liu family father and son.

By then, Liu Zhang would be the veritable King of Zhenbei.

Even if he is called emperor in the North, he is still qualified.

but……

The development of the situation once again exceeded Shi Wen's estimate.

To be precise, Shi Wen underestimated Liu Zhang's patience and tenacity.

A few days later, news came from the north that shocked the hearts of the world.

Liu Zhanggong welcomed the Marquis of Andu Xiao Chengye to ascend the throne and rebuild the Great Wei Dynasty, aiming to unify the north and south, kill the rioters and thieves, and attack those who stole the throne.

puff!

As soon as this news came out, people's chins were shocked.

"Half Xiao Chengye of Andu? Didn't you get the wrong name?"

"It's true and absolutely impossible to make a mistake. This is Liu Zhang's manifesto to announce the world. His son sent someone to copy it. It really wrote the name of Xiao Chengye, the Marquis of Andu." "Liu Zhang wanted to respect Xiao Chengye as emperor, and the ceremony of ascension to the throne was arranged one month later. It also alluded to the injustice of the Emperor Jianzhou City, and killed Emperor Taining of Emperor Dezong with conspiracy. Welcoming Xiao Chengye as emperor was to correct the court, to rectify the chaos, and to restore a bright world in the world!"

"It's over, it's over!"

Shi Wen finished crying, but there was an excitement in his eyes.
