I am a woman, I am a man, I want to marry a wife so that I can farm

After the emperor read what was written in the memorial, his face turned pale instantly!

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Qin Chang asked cautiously.

The national teacher also pricked up his ears to listen. If any unfavorable news came back, he would have to consider running away as soon as possible.

The Imperial Master was also puzzled by the same thing that the Emperor was puzzled about just now, so he secretly looked at the Emperor's face. The result was amazing: the Emperor originally had a full forehead and a square chin, which indicated a wealthy appearance.

But today, a dark aura appeared faintly on the emperor's forehead, following him like a shadow. His luck was gradually dissipating at a very fast speed, which meant that his wealth and glory would soon come to an end...

"The Imperial Master is right. The one who proclaimed himself emperor was indeed not Mu Heng, nor anyone from the Mu family, but an unknown little general, Ye Ze!" The emperor almost gritted his teeth as he said Ye Ze's name.

Qin Chang was startled, and blurted out the words that were about to come out of his mouth: "Why is it him?"

"Do you know him?" the emperor looked at Qin Chang and asked.

"Yes." Qin Chang cupped his hands: "Not only do I know him, he was also promoted by General He!"

"Oh?" The emperor frowned and thought for a moment, and finally remembered that this was the General Zhenwei he had personally appointed. Why would Mu Heng give up the throne to him? The emperor really couldn't figure it out, so he asked.

Qin Chang shook his head. He couldn't figure it out either.

They both looked at the Imperial Master.

The Imperial Master asked, "Does Deputy General Qin know his birth date? Or you can draw his face, and I will calculate his fate."

Qin Chang shook his head. Of course he didn't know Ye Ze's birth date, and painting was not his specialty. But, thinking about it, Qin Chang reminded: "Master, you have seen him, the one riding a white horse on the left side of Mu Heng on the battlefield."

The generals' mounts are usually black, brown, or maroon, but Ye Ze's white horse is particularly eye-catching.

Closing his eyes and recalling Ye Ze's face, the National Master couldn't help but frown. He couldn't see through Ye Ze, couldn't tell his luck, and couldn't calculate his fate. His face seemed to be shrouded in layers of fog, unpredictable, and couldn't be peeked at at will.

This was something the Imperial Master had never encountered in his decades of fortune-telling. He couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. There was only one possibility for this situation: this person had an extraordinary fate that could not be seen by a mortal like him.

But, can he say such things if he can't see Ye Ze's fate?

Of course not!

After a moment, the Imperial Master reported to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, this man does have the potential to be an emperor, but he is not yet strong enough to become a powerful figure. Your Majesty only needs to make arrangements in advance and destroy this small group of forces."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and his heart finally settled down. Even the eunuch Liu beside him breathed a sigh of relief and quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

On the second morning, the Imperial Preceptor did not come to court. The emperor was puzzled and sent Eunuch Liu to invite him in person. All the civil and military officials in the court were waiting in the Fengyuan Hall. They could not help but whisper to each other. The emperor was too lenient to the Imperial Preceptor, and he made so many important officials of the court wait for him alone!

Half an hour later, Eunuch Liu came back without inviting the Imperial Master. He only brought a letter for the Emperor.

The emperor opened the letter in confusion and read it. After reading it, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

The Imperial Master mentioned in his letter that he had read Ye Ze's face yesterday, and said bluntly: I deceived the Emperor yesterday, and I beg the Emperor to forgive me. I can't calculate Ye Ze's fate at all. This person's fate is extraordinary, and it is not something that an ordinary person like me can understand. I am afraid that Dayu's fate is about to end...

I am going to travel around the world, I hope Your Majesty will not worry about me.

After the emperor read the letter, he seemed to have lost all his energy and spirit, and suddenly became ten years older. He wanted to catch the imperial teacher right away and ask him why he became like this. Could he tell fortunes?

If you think about it carefully, isn't it because the emperor trusts him too much? The Qian Kingdom has already reached Fengyang City. If they capture two more cities, they will be at the gates of the city!

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. What had happened? What did the Imperial Master write in the letter?

After a long while, the emperor calmed down. He announced the army's defeat, the death of General He, the establishment of Qian Kingdom by the rebel army, and the declaration of General Ye Ze as emperor. He wanted the ministers to help him come up with ideas. The current situation was extremely unfavorable to everyone in the court. If no countermeasures could be found, Dayu might really be destroyed!

"What? My son...he..." Duke He staggered back two steps and almost fell down.

Lord Qin, who was standing behind him, supported his arm and said, "My Lord, I am so sorry. Please take care of yourself."

"My dear minister He, Chengfeng died for his country. I will make sure his funeral is grand and magnificent!" The emperor thought for a moment and said, "Confer the title of Marquis of Loyalty on General He posthumously, and let the Ministry of Rites handle his funeral."

The Minister of Rites immediately stepped out and bowed, saying, "I obey your order."

Duke He was too sad. He did not participate in the subsequent discussion on resisting the State of Qian and simply withdrew.

Regarding the issue of resisting the Qian army, some people proposed a reconciliation, that is, to allow the Qian Kingdom to exist and give them the several cities they conquered. After Dayu has recuperated for a few years, it will not be too late to send troops to destroy them!

Some people also proposed to call back all the troops in the court to defend the capital...

*

Two months later, it is April and every household is already busy on the ridges of the fields.

The Qian State soldiers will be stationed in Fengyang for nearly three months. During this time, Ye Ze learns how to handle government affairs. He severely punishes all corrupt officials in Fengyang and Yunzhou and the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction. Those who should be dismissed are dismissed, and those who should be beheaded are beheaded. The two cities are unprecedentedly clear.

Next, it will be Anyang City and Jincheng. The generals of these two cities have already surrendered and are waiting for the Qian army to arrive. They will then open the city gates and welcome the Qian soldiers into the city!

The corrupt officials in the two cities could not sit still. They were really scared. They had all heard about the iron-blooded methods used by the Emperor of Qian to rectify Fengyang and Yunzhou. If the Qian soldiers entered Anyang and Jincheng, their good days would be over!

So before the Qian army entered the city, those corrupt officials had already packed up and fled.

In the 28th year of Shun'an in the Dayu Dynasty, the army of Qian State was at the gate of the city, and Mu Heng led 500,000 soldiers to attack the north gate.

In panic, the emperor mobilized most of his soldiers to the north gate to fight. The walls and gates of the capital were stronger than those of other cities, and the number of soldiers defending the city was comparable to that of Qian State. It was not easy to attack the city.

Inside the Fengyuan Hall of the Imperial Palace, the Emperor, the princes and the ministers were all waiting for the battle ahead with solemn expressions. Success or failure would depend on this one move!

Upon learning that Mu Heng's troops were held up by the soldiers defending the city and could not advance any further, the emperor felt a little relieved.

However, what they didn't know was that the uprising troops of Qian State in the south were also quietly growing stronger. Ye Ze led 200,000 new soldiers under Shouhou Goudan and headed straight for the South Gate...
