The Empress came ashore and beheaded the meritorious officials, forcing me to wear the yellow robe

In the royal capital, at the entrance of the imperial palace, Chengtian Gate.

This gate was specially opened for the emperor, and only the emperor could walk through it.

It means "to receive the mandate from heaven and to be entrusted by heaven."

Eunuch Wang Zhizhong opened the door personally, and around it were the "civil and military officials" of the Great Qi, headed by the chief minister of the cabinet Ye Xianggao, who were respectfully waiting for Li Zhenbei and his rebel army to enter the palace.

Li Zhenbei, wearing a large felt hat and riding a tall horse, gazed at the towering capital of the Qi Kingdom, the center of power, and said to his men, "I simply sought a meal, but I never imagined I would end up like this. Alas! Who can predict the fate of this world?"

Naturally, everyone was trying to fawn over him, saying that the King of the North was the true man of destiny and had the destiny in his hands!

It would be fine if Li Zhenbei's subordinates were flattering him, but why are all these officials of Da Qi following suit?

Especially Ye Xianggao, Li Zhenbei pointed at him with his whip while riding on horseback and asked about his official position!

Ye Xianggao was overjoyed and quickly reported that he was the chief minister of the cabinet. What a great position! The head of all officials, you must continue to use me when you ascend the throne.

Unexpectedly, the first thing Li Zhenbei said was, "Our country is in such a state, and our monarch is ignorant. Why don't you die for your country with such a high position and generous salary?"

Your Great Qi is already in this state, and the empress is still missing. Since you are the prime minister and the top civil servant, why don't you commit suicide and die for your country?

Ye Xianggao was stunned. His answer was simply shameless. "A new world has been created. As long as I have a useful body left, I dare not talk about death!"

The reason I am not dying is that I am waiting for you, the new emperor, to change the world so that I can be loyal to you!

Hearing this, the many military generals and rough men around Li Zhenbei all burst into laughter.

The look he gave Ye Xianggao and his group of civil officials was filled with contempt!

These intellectuals all claim to be knowledgeable people and loyal to the emperor and their country, but when it comes to a matter of life and death, even the girls in the brothel have more backbone than them.

But anyway...

Fortunately, these guys were so timid that they opened the gates of the royal capital. Otherwise, they would have had to gnaw at the 14-meter-high wall inch by inch! They would never have been able to get into the royal capital even if they gnawed at it for three lifetimes.

"Hahaha... Great! Great! I've already said that about that bastard emperor. What kind of emperor can she be? The world still has to be ruled by us gentlemen!"

After saying this, those shameless civil and military officials reacted quickly.

They all knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live the Northern Emperor!"

She became the emperor in the blink of an eye, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the previous empress. Who still remembered that she was the former emperor of this world?

Li Zhenbei, riding on a tall horse, looked up at the Chengtian Gate plaque that he had never dared to dream of. Suddenly, his mind was heated up, and he said with great ambition, "If I, Li Zhenbei, can truly become the master of the world and unify the world, I will shoot an arrow into the center of the word "Heaven"!"

Everyone knew that Li Zhenbei was a good archer, so when they heard their Northern King say this, they all naturally followed suit and applauded.

Li Zhenbei, full of confidence, drew his bow and shot an arrow under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

then……

With a snap, the arrow failed to hit the center of the word "天" and instead hit the bottom of the word "天".

Ah this...

This is a bit embarrassing!

The crowd who had been clapping, cheering and making a fuss just now were all embarrassed for Li Zhenbei.

At the critical moment, military advisor Jia Fang came to the rescue and said, "The arrow landed under the character '天', which is a perfect sign of gaining the whole world!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone reacted and immediately began to flatter Li Zhenbei, saying that he wanted to conquer the world.

Li Zhenbei also looked at Jia Fang with gratitude, and they entered the imperial city together with everyone else in joy.

Entering the hall and looking at the shining, golden dragon throne, no one can resist its temptation.

Li Zhenbei walked over step by step, reached the dragon throne and stretched out his hand. He could feel his right hand trembling.

Next…

Naturally, everyone urged him to join in!

Let the King of the North ascend the throne and officially ascend the throne**, and then everyone can start to divide up the royal titles of this new empire and reward them according to their merits.

To be honest, Li Zhenbei really had this idea and really wanted to sit on it.

but……

For some reason, he thought of the scene when he entered Chengtian Gate and the arrow that missed the target.

So, Li Zhenbei asked his generals if they had found the empress after breaking through the imperial city.

The generals looked at each other and replied that they had not found any trace of her. Many of the palace maids and concubines had been hacked to death. They thought the empress must have committed suicide somewhere!

What does it mean to want to commit suicide?

Li Zhenbei was so angry that he almost wanted to slap them!

"I want to see him alive or dead! Go find him immediately! I must find him!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhenbei was a little angry, and a second psychological shadow cast a shadow on him!

Just as he was about to sit on the dragon throne, a third shadow appeared...

Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!

The loud, piercing noises, one after another, startled everyone.

Li Zhenbei immediately looked outside the hall and asked, "He Yin is this?"

The ministers in the court looked at each other and said all kinds of things.

Some said that the people were setting off fireworks to celebrate the arrival of the new master, while others said that it was the earth dragon turning over. In short, there were all kinds of rumors, but no one mentioned the cannon.

until……

A messenger ran in hurriedly and knelt on the ground to report to Li Zhenbei that General Wang Zhonggan had mobilized 20,000 beggars and 50,000 cannon fodder to attack Qinghe County.

Well! Li Zhenbei finally understood the source of all his uneasiness.

He walked down the stairs in anger, cursing at the top of his lungs, "Who told him to mobilize the troops? Who told him to mobilize the troops?! My orders were for him not to clash with Li Jize! What does he want to do?"

Even though they were sworn brothers, Li Zhenbei was furious that they openly disobeyed his orders like that!

The most important thing is that Da Qi lacks cavalry, and these bandits lack cavalry even more!

Once Li Zhenbei ascends the throne, the next enemy he will face will be the barbarians, and they have no experience in fighting against barbarians.

Li Zhenbei's plan is that if Li Jize doesn't offend me, I won't offend him. Once he has firmly established his rule over the world! He, Li Jize, is also from Qi!

Naturally, he can be persuaded to surrender, and then use his Beiliang Wolf Cavalry to deal with the barbarians.

but now……

If Wang Zhonggan attacks him, won’t his plan be ruined?

Who would have thought that the subordinate's reply would shock everyone present.

"The general said that Li Jize had previously broken through Anding Gate and taken several women away from Anding Gate. He was afraid..."

At this point, not only Li Zhenbei was terrified, but all the civil and military officials were also in a panic.

Could it be that……

The... the empress is not dead?

Taken away by Li Jize!
