"Did the King of Northern Frontier really rebel?"

Lying on the dragon bed, the emperor, who had just woken up for a moment, heard his personal eunuch report the news.

He knocked the medicine bowl in his hand to the ground.

However, the expression on his face was not just anger, but rather very complicated.

"Your Majesty, the news has spread throughout the capital. Northern Frontier King Xiao Yan, fearing his plot to murder the Third Prince would be exposed, has not only refused to return to the capital for trial, but has also murdered all of his Imperial Guards..."

Such behavior is heartbreaking!

Before the old eunuch could continue speaking, the emperor suddenly covered his mouth and began coughing violently.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Cough cough..."

The old eunuch was extremely anxious: "Your Majesty! Please don't get excited..."

The emperor covered his mouth, and scarlet blood flowed from his fingertips.

The old eunuch was shocked and knelt on the ground.

"His Majesty……"

The emperor's cloudy eyes were shining with brilliance.

"It's okay, it's okay, I won't die yet."

"Thirty years have passed. Of the princes under my knees, the eldest was deposed, the second died, and the third also died. Except for the fourth, sixth, ninth, and twelfth, the rest are gone."

"Anyone who isn't the one they want will eventually die. Fortunately, Lao Jiu survived..."

Not only did he survive, he also unified the northern border and forged the Northern Army into an invincible and powerful force.

He was not mistaken about the wolf-like child!

He is indeed the only hope of the Yuan Dynasty now!

……

The army from the northern border is mighty.

In just three days, they crossed Wushuang City and headed south.

King Ming was the first to receive the news besides Emperor Yuan.

This was because none of the people he sent out, whether they were death squads or royal secret guards, came back.

In the past two days, he appeared calm while exchanging witticisms with the fourth brother and the others, but he felt uneasy inside.

According to the original plan, the death of the Yulin Army who escorted the Ninth Brother would almost confirm that he had killed the Third Brother.

Then his people will incite the Ministry of Clan Affairs, the Supreme Court, and the Ministry of Justice to convict Lao Jiu.

In this way, Lao Jiu can be arrested directly.

During the arrest process, if Lao Jiu "resisted" and some unexpected situations occurred, it would be reasonable for him to be executed on the spot.

But what he never expected was that when the person he arranged to discover this "tragedy" went there, he only saw a few scattered corpses of the Yulin Army, most of whom were men in black.

The remaining Yulin Army and even the King of Northern Frontier and his entourage have disappeared.

Thus, the matter became confusing.

He could only send people to keep a close eye on the movements in the northern border.

Although some people in the court are now putting the blame on the ninth brother for the murder of the third brother and the Yulin Army, it is still hard to believe.

Unexpectedly, the army from the northern border directly passed Wushuang City and arrived at Hexi.

Several princes who were carving out their own spheres of influence in the court were shocked when they heard the news.

"How is it possible? Lao Jiu is in Xijing, how can he mobilize the Northern Army!"

"The Yulin Army was killed, and Lao Jiu's disappearance has not yet been investigated. How dare the Northern Army?"

"Could it be that the Third Brother and the Yulin Army were really killed by the Ninth Brother? Now that the truth is about to be revealed..."

Several important ministers were also uneasy and ignored everything else and asked to see His Majesty directly.

Although there are only 50,000 soldiers and horses, once they cross Hexi, no one will be able to stop them with the strength of the Northern Army.

The Yuan Dynasty could not be said to be facing internal or external troubles, but it certainly did not have the military strength to resist the Northern Army.

At the very least, the court would be in turmoil and the treasury would be empty. At worst, the northern barbarians and Tubo would attack from both the north and the south. By then, the Yuan Dynasty would be in danger.

The emperor met with several ministers but didn't say anything.

Duke Dingguo couldn't help it.

"Your Majesty! First, the Third Prince, who was traveling with the King of Northern Frontier, was killed by a wild wolf. The King of Northern Frontier was about to be brought back to the capital for questioning, but then another case of the Imperial Guards being murdered occurred. Now, the Northern Frontier army is marching directly south. The King of Northern Frontier's evil ambitions are clearly revealed!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to send troops to suppress the Northern Army and arrest the Northern Frontier King Xiao Yan!"

Minister Chen and others looked at each other, and then stood up to express their support.

In any case, the King of Northern Frontier dared to send troops, which was a taboo.

"Your Majesty, please arrest the King of Northern Frontier!"

Under the insistence of Duke Dingguo and several ministers, the emperor seemed to have no choice but to give the order.

But at this critical moment, their Majesty suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma.

The imperial physician said that His Majesty's vitality was probably seriously damaged this time and he might not have much time left.

Now, Your Majesty is so angry about the evil deeds of the King of Northern Frontier.

Ming Wang and others reached a consensus without hesitation and spread the news.

Who can still endure it?

Traitors like the King of Northern Frontier deserve to be killed!

Under the encouragement of Prince Ming and the Sixth Prince of Dingguo, the Empress Dowager, who had been recuperating in the palace for many years, came forward and issued an imperial decree.

Mobilize the Shuofang garrison to block the Northern Army in Hexi.

He also ordered the Jingji camp to send 10,000 people to search for the whereabouts of the King of Northern Frontier in the area from Jingzhao to Hanoi.

The emperor was critically ill, and the entire capital city seemed to be shrouded in a shadow.

The natural disasters have not yet subsided, riots are frequent, and wars have broken out again.

tomorrow,

It's bound to be chaos.

……

But in the northern border thousands of miles away, there was joy and jubilation.

The eastward march of 50,000 northern troops and the imperial court's targeting of them also made the people in the north extremely worried.

But all this was no match for the scene they witnessed before their own eyes.

After several months of hard work, brilliant flowers finally bloomed on this barren land in northern Xinjiang.

Miss Zhou said that those were the flowers of corn.

Small white flowers, furry.

In a few days, the tall corn stalks will carry fat babies on their backs, and inside them are corn.

It is also their hope...

Potatoes have been planted throughout northern Xinjiang, and now corn has also grown.

Miss Zhou said that after cultivating a round of land, she can plant sweet potatoes in the gaps.

That thing is sweet and sticky, and tastes better than potatoes.

The old men, leaning on sticks, patrolled the newly planned fields under the scorching sun with their skinny figures, laughing so hard that they couldn't open their eyes.

Canals crisscross the ground and underground of Anbei City.

As he laughed, tears welled up in the old man's eyes.

They no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat...

Even children can go to school to learn to read.

No tuition fee required.

The two years of enlightenment, the books and writing materials were all paid for by the general's mansion, and they only cared about having a child.

Mr. Zhou from the school said that their general will go to the capital in the future, and the northern border is the general's base camp. They cannot all be called "reckless men" by the people inside the pass.

We can't bring shame to the general.

A gentleman has a hundred skills. Even if he does not seek to pass the imperial examinations or become an official, it is good enough if he can learn a skill to support himself and his family.

As a result, not only the ordinary people in Anbei City, but even the more remote villages nearby sent their children to school.

Anyway, the school provides food and accommodation.

The support of the people in northern Xinjiang for the school far exceeded Zhou Lingling's expectations.

Zhou Zhuo said in great embarrassment, "We originally planned to build a school in Anbei City first, and then expand it to other cities six months later, but there are too many people who signed up..."

Their school building can only accommodate two to three hundred people, but the number of applicants has now exceeded 10%.

It's not impossible to squeeze in a little, but the key is that Uncle Chen said that people from farther away are also asking if they can send their children to the official school in Anbei City.

In this case, the school and the teachers are completely insufficient.

Neither Zhou Zhuo nor Chen Jiaan could make the decision on this issue, so they could only ask Zhou Lingling to solve it.

Zhou Lingling, who had just finished a work in her small laboratory, was wearing a white overalls and her hair was tightly wrapped up. At first glance, she looked quite normal.

There are black and white spots on his body and hands, which looks very... funny.

Hearing Zhou Zhuo's words, Zhou Lingling didn't even think about it:

"There's no need to do that. We should build branches in various places as quickly as possible."

"Since the official school in Anbei City has reached its limit, we should build branch campuses, one in the east and one in the west..."

The last thing she lacks is money.

Xiao Yan, who is about to become the emperor, is also not lacking.

I'll just come back to him later.

She got a few barrels of oil and recently, with the help of Fuguier, she was experimenting with a method of refining oil that was more suitable for the productivity of this era.

If she succeeds, she will be able to give Xiao Yan another big surprise when the Northern Army enters Beijing!
