Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Shangguan Yu knelt down with a thump and said in horror: "I deserve death for helping the tyrant."

Shangguan Yu trembled as he told everything he had experienced. He described how Chu Tianhe had plotted against him, causing him to temporarily lose his memory and even brainwash him into regarding Yunxi as his enemy. He then described in detail the conspiracy of Prince Rui that he had learned from Divine Doctor Chu, as well as their collusion with foreign enemies.

After listening to Shangguan Yu's statement, the emperor's face became extremely gloomy, with anger flashing in his eyes. He shouted loudly: "What a Prince Rui, my good uncle, how dare you betray me!" He slammed the table hard, making a crisp sound.

The emperor stared at Shangguan Yu with wide eyes and said in a serious tone: "Although you are guilty, I will spare your life considering that you woke up in time and reported the crime."

When Shangguan Yu heard the emperor's words, he was filled with gratitude and kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me!"

The emperor turned his head and looked at Yunxi beside him, with a gratified smile on his face, and said: "My beloved concubine, you have made great contributions this time, and I must reward you well."

Yunxi smiled slightly and replied modestly: "I just did my duty. Your Majesty's health is my greatest wish."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Come here, throw Prince Rui into prison immediately and wait for me to interrogate him personally. In addition, thoroughly investigate his accomplices and make sure they are all caught in one fell swoop."

The guards responded in unison: "As you command!" Then they quickly left to carry out the order.

The emperor looked solemn, and immediately gave an order: "Shangguan Yu, you lead the soldiers to heal the wounded for the time being."

After finishing speaking, the emperor held Yunxi's hand tightly, his eyes full of affection and gratitude, and said: "My beloved concubine, this time thanks to you, otherwise I am afraid that it would cause a disaster. If you hadn't noticed Prince Rui's conspiracy in time, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Yunxi smiled slightly and responded modestly: "All this is thanks to your majesty's wisdom and bravery, which enabled you to see through this evil plot in time. I am only doing my humble part."

At this moment, a eunuch came in a panic, kneeling down to present an urgent report. The emperor was extremely anxious, and quickly took the memorial. When he opened it, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and his brows were tightly furrowed. Seeing this, Yunxi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, what happened? Why are you so worried?" The emperor sighed heavily and replied in a serious tone: "Emergency military information has been received from the border. The Northern Di army suddenly invaded our border without any warning. Our border guards suffered heavy losses."

Yunxi heard this, and a trace of determination and courage flashed in her eyes. She said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I am willing to fight alongside you on the battlefield. I will do my best to contribute to the country and the people."

The emperor was deeply moved. He gazed at Yunxi affectionately, with tears in his eyes. He nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "Good! With Yunxi, my beloved concubine, by my side, I will surely defeat the enemy and safeguard the peace of the country!" The emperor's voice trembled slightly, revealing his inner excitement and determination. Then, he immediately ordered all ministers to discuss strategies to deal with the invasion of the Northern Di.

The atmosphere in the court was tense and solemn. The ministers offered their opinions one after another. Some advocated seeking peace, believing that peace could be achieved by ceding land and paying compensation; others proposed sending troops to reinforce and fight a decisive battle with the Northern Di. Yunxi sat quietly aside, listening to everyone's opinions, but he already had his own plan in mind.

Finally, she stood up, walked to the center of the court, knelt down and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I think we should decisively send troops to strike hard at the Northern Di to boost national prestige. If we blindly seek peace, it will only make the enemy more arrogant and eventually lead to the destruction of the country. Only by taking the initiative can we win the war." The emperor looked at Yunxi with admiration, his eyes full of trust and gratitude. He knew that Yunxi was not only beautiful, but also smart and wise. She was one of his most capable advisers. It was a wise move to name her "the wise female general".

The emperor smiled and said, "My beloved concubine is right. But we need to choose a general to lead the expedition. Do you have any suitable candidates?" The court fell silent. Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to make a recommendation. After all, this expedition was related to the survival of the country. If the wrong general was chosen, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this time, a young general stepped forward and said loudly: "I am willing to lead the army to fight. I will not return to the court until I have destroyed the Northern Di!" Everyone looked closely and found that this person was Li Junhao. He was tall and handsome, a brave and resourceful general.

The emperor was overjoyed and immediately stood up, pointing at Li Junhao and said, "Okay! I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief and lead the army to follow me! I hope you will live up to everyone's expectations and return triumphantly soon!" Li Junhao knelt on one knee, accepted the emperor's order, and expressed that he would do his best to win glory for the country.

A few days later, the sun was shining brightly, the breeze was blowing, and outside the capital, military flags were flying and morale was high. The army set out, ready to embark on the journey.

Yunxi stood beside the emperor in military uniform, looking valiant and brave. Her eyes were firm and bright, full of anticipation for the future battle. The people who came to see him off poured into the streets, cheering and cheering one after another, cheering for the soldiers who were about to go to the battle.

The emperor personally saw off the army. His eyes swept across the neatly lined soldiers and finally stopped at Yunxi. He nodded slightly to show his approval of Yunxi. Then, he raised his glass and toasted all the soldiers: "My fellow soldiers, today you will fight for the country and the people. May you go forward bravely and fight bravely!"

Yunxi took the wine glass and drank it all. Her voice was firm and powerful: "Your Majesty, rest assured that we will fulfill our mission and defend the dignity of the country!" Her words resonated with all the soldiers present, and everyone shouted in unison: "We are willing to serve the country!"

The horn of war sounded, and the passionate melody echoed in the air. Yunxi rode on the warhorse and led the army slowly forward with the emperor. She knew in her heart that this war would be an arduous test, but she was not afraid and was determined to use her wisdom and courage to protect the country and the people.

The people who came to see them off followed the army all the way out of the city. They showed their admiration and trust for Yunxi and believed that she could lead the army to victory. Yunxi looked back at the capital and vowed silently in her heart that she must bring this land back to life.

The army gradually moved away and disappeared into the distant horizon. Yunxi and the emperor shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the country together, and their figures became the light of hope in people's hearts. In this turbulent era, their courage and determination will lead the entire country to a bright future.
