Mirror of the Sky

On the third day of June in the first year of Musheng, the ten-year-old prince Zhou Tang ascended the throne.

In the fifth dynasty at the beginning of June, the little emperor Zhou Tang seized the title of Tang Guogong and demoted him to the northwest border as a city guard general on the grounds that he killed the eldest prince "in a flash".

Even if the eldest prince is guilty, he is still the eldest prince.Can not be killed casually.

Tang Guogong... Now he can only be called General Tang. Three days later, he packed his bags and went to the northwest border.

Bordering the northwest of Zhou State is the Qi State with strong soldiers and wild wildness.There are many frictions on the border between the two countries, and the war has not yet broken out, but there are still small chaos, which is not a peaceful place.

The courtiers said that the little emperor respected his elder brother and respected filial piety.There are also people who say that the little emperor is an unfilial white-eyed wolf. Tang Guogong helped him ascend the throne with his front foot, but he was killed by the donkey with his back foot.There is also humanity, both parties are close, the little emperor punished Tang Guogong in accordance with the law, a compromise method, and never favoritism.There is also a humane way, the little emperor is doing this to prevent his relatives from becoming bigger, and to attack Tang Guogong first.

The little emperor in the imperial study asked his lord national teacher aggrievedly: "Do you have to let grandpa go to such a far place?"

Luo Mu: "General Tang has been away for a long time." The implication is that it is useless for you to regret it.

The little emperor sighed: "I just think that grandpa is getting old, and the northwest is not peaceful."

Luo Mu smiled, "General Tang is always strong and strong, and he is old and strong, and Shangzhi is thousands of miles away. His Majesty shouldn't have General Tang detained in Zhoudu."

Tang Guogong asked Luo Mu to go to the northwest to guard the country for Zhou and Tang after they confessed to each other.

The little emperor pursed his mouth: "Okay, listen to the master of the country."

Ten days later, there was an urgent report from the Northwest that the Qi army had invaded, captured two cities, and forced them to Tiangui Pass.

Tianguiguan, the mountain walls on both sides look like ghost faces with fangs, so it is named Tianguiguan.Tiangui Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the first military pass on the northwestern border of Zhou State.

But after passing Tianguiguan, it is a plain hinterland. After three cities, there is the next military fortress - Liguguan.This means that if the Qi army captures Tianguiguan, they will be able to slaughter three cities in a row. The combat power of the defenders in these three cities... can be ignored.And if Liguguan wanted to rush to help Tianguiguan, they had to march for at least two days.

The state of Zhou had long accumulated evils, and Emperor Jing had been ill for a long time. During the period when the eldest prince supervised the country, many problems were exposed.Now that the new emperor, who is only ten years old, ascended the throne, Qi State took advantage of the fire to loot, preparing to bite off a large piece of Zhou State's flesh.

In the imperial study room, the little emperor was so anxious that he could conquest himself, "They just took advantage of the fire to rob me and bully me when I was young! But I... I am not afraid, I want the imperial conquest!"

Luo Mu overturned the sand table of the military exercise just now, and said with disdain: "Your Majesty is serious, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer."

The little emperor's face froze: "Am I just a chopper?"

Luo Mu smiled: "No, Your Majesty is the Dragon Slaying Sword."

The little emperor raised his chin in satisfaction, "That's right! I'm going to take down Qi!"

Luo Mu said: "It's a good thing Your Majesty has great ambitions, but you haven't dealt with your government affairs today."

When the little emperor saw the piles of memorials piled up as high as him, his face suddenly fell, and finally he took them over resignedly, and studied them one by one.

This... is all nonsense!

This one... a sycophant!

This book... he, he dares to scold me!who?What's your name?I remember you!

This... this... the situation is a bit complicated...

The little emperor glanced at the master of the national teacher who was deducing the sand table next to him, and mustered up the courage to move over with the booklet in hand.

Master Guoshi patiently put forward three strategies, top, middle and bottom. Master Guoshi is really amazing!

Next, this book... ask the Master of the State Teacher!

This book... Master Guoshi must have a solution!

……

The little emperor tirelessly came to the lord of the national teacher with the memorial again and again, humbly and sincerely asked the lord of the national teacher for advice, and then returned to the throne to give his reply conscientiously.

Soldiers and food were continuously transported to Tianguiguan, but a month later, news came that General Tang had died in battle and the Qi army had broken through Tianguiguan.

Holding the battle report, the little emperor hurriedly ran up to the platform. The moment he saw Mr. Guoshi, tears fell down his face.

After picking up the little emperor and receiving the battle report, the national teacher frowned.

Three days later, the Master of the State Normal University took the emperor's seat on behalf of the sage, and went to the northwest.At this time, the Qi army had broken through the Ligu Pass and was galloping towards the hinterland of Zhou State.

The little emperor stood on the tower to bid farewell to Master Guoshi, without crying.He stopped crying and couldn't cry any more.

When Luo Mu joined the northwest defenders, the Qi army had captured ten cities in the northwest.

This battle lasted for three years before the Zhou army regained the lost ground and drove the Qi army out of the state of Zhou.

The State of Qi asked for peace, but the Master of the National Teacher wrote a letter, refusing to talk about peace, and wanted to capture the city of the King of Qi for His Majesty.Emperor Yun.

Master Guoshi has this self-confidence, not only because he is proficient in formations and soldiers, but also because he was inspired by the art of refining medicine, and made weapons into weapons, and used them on the battlefield. less than.

Three years later, in the autumn of the sixth year of Mu Sheng, the Master of the State Division led troops to attack King Qi's city.In the spring of the following year, the 17-year-old prosperous emperor Zhou Tang accepted the surrender of the Qi royal family in Zhoudu.Emperor Qi and his prince were given poisonous wine, and the only princess was imprisoned in Zhoudu.

For a time, the prestige of the National Teacher in the Zhou Kingdom was even higher, and His Majesty also looked up to and relied on the National Teacher, and even asked the National Teacher for advice on government affairs as he did when he was a child.

In the National Teacher's Mansion, the strong and pungent smell of medicine lingers in the room of the National Teacher.

"Cough cough...cough cough..." Luo Mu half-sat on the bed, as weak as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs.

Zhou Tang, who came to visit him, sat on the side of his bed, pressed the quilt for him, choked up and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were sick?"

"It's okay, ahem..." Luo Mu said, "I'm overworked, and I'm just weak for a while."

Zhou Tang stared at him fiercely, "You lied to me!"

Heart and lung strain, coldness to the bone, and countless scars on the body...

"I should have guessed it earlier." A tear fell from the corner of Zhou Tang's eye, and he quickly wiped it away with his hand. He had obviously learned not to cry, "I shouldn't have let you go in the first place."

"It's me who should go, it's me who should be injured, and it's me who should be sick. This is my responsibility, not yours."

Luo Mu shook his head, "I said before that I will help you."

"But you didn't say you would risk your life to help me!" Zhou Tang said harshly, "I won't! You won't be allowed to play with your own life!"

Luo Mu moved his lips, why didn't he say it?From the very beginning, I was helping you with my life...

Fate is not so easy to change.

In terms of divination skills, Luo Mu is actually more talented than his elder brother, especially when looking at the sky mirror, Luo Zhen and Luo Xiao often have blurred images of divination, and the direction is unclear.But in Luo Mu's hands, Sky Peering Mirror has always had a clear hexagram and has never made a mistake.

When Luo Mu was five years old, he saw through the sky-peeping mirror that Emperor Jing was not the real dragon emperor who was destined to belong to him.

Back then, Emperor Jing killed his father and brother and forged an edict to ascend the throne, but Emperor Jing kept it secret, and those who knew him had already been silenced by Emperor Jing, and those who guessed it also chose to keep silent.

Luo Mu discovered the secret that Emperor Jing's name was not right, and he almost let it slip.Luo Zhen was afraid that his son would cause trouble when he was young and ignorant, so he hurriedly sent him away in the name of practicing immortality.

When he was ten years old, Luo Mu went back to Zhou to attend his father's funeral. Seeing his elder brother's behavior in front of his father's mourning hall, he faintly felt that something was wrong.Sometimes the elder brother knelt down silently, sometimes beat his chest and blamed himself, sometimes clenched his fists, and sometimes wept bitterly.

In Luo Mu's eyes, his brother, who is seven years older than him, is precocious and wise, and is as majestic as his father.At that time, Luo Mu only thought that his elder brother, like himself, was insane because he couldn't bear the shock of his father's sudden death.

But after returning to the Misty Sect, I repeatedly thought of my elder brother's pale and resolute face, of my elder brother's eagerness to urge me to leave Zhoudu, and of my elder brother's hesitant expression, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.

Luo Mu wrote to his brother several times, but only got perfunctory replies.Luo Mu finally couldn't hold back until he heard that his elder brother had withdrawn from the marriage.

Later, Luo Mu thought that his elder brother probably chose to hide it because he felt that he was young and incapable of doing business.

At the age of 15, on the eve of his elder brother's death, a letter was sent to Misty Sect, saying: "Don't go back to the capital of Zhou, don't be a national teacher."

Luo Mu didn't listen, and returned to Zhoudu.

When he was in the imperial study room, Luo Mu suddenly understood when he heard Emperor Jing's two questions.

"Can Prince Zhou Tang be emperor?"

"The eldest prince Zhou Shang, can you be an emperor?"

"good!"

Oh...that's how it is!

After taking back the Skypeeping Mirror, Luo Mu finally confirmed the cause of death of his father and brother.

It turned out that Emperor Jing wanted to abolish the crown prince and establish another eldest prince, but his father and brother found out through the sky-peeping mirror that the eldest prince was not destined to be an emperor, so they truthfully reported to Emperor Jing.Unexpectedly, Emperor Jing did not give up, but instead ordered his father and brother to change his life for the eldest prince.

Changing one's fate is more costly than spying on God's will.

As a result, the eldest prince's fate remained unchanged, but his father and brother lost their lives in vain.

The elder brother said, "Don't go back to the Zhou capital, don't be a national teacher."

Luo Mu wanted to be the national teacher!

The eldest prince's fate cannot be changed, and he will not change it for him.Therefore, he chose Prince Zhou Tang, extended his hand to him, and changed his fate.

Planning for the eldest prince, allowing the eldest prince to oversee the country and seize power, is nothing more than giving the eldest prince a sweet dream.

He told Tang Guogong that the eldest prince's fate had changed to a great evil, so that the prince's fate had changed, which was a fake.It's just that if Tang Guogong thinks that something is going wrong, a good opportunity will come, and Tang Guogong will take the opportunity to act and plan for the prince.

Zhou Tang's fate did not change because of the eldest prince, but because of him.

It was him who traded his own fate.

But Luo Mu got the result he wanted. Emperor Jing died, the eldest prince died, and Concubine Zhen also died.

Anyone who satisfies his lust with the lives of his father and brother died.

Then, if we make more thorough changes, why not send it to Zhou and Tang in the prosperous world?

Anyway, he has long since had nothing to worry about, and he is relaxed.

But at this moment, Luo Mu looked at Zhou Tang, and couldn't bear it, let alone tell him the truth that he planned to hide from the beginning.After hesitating for a moment, Luo Mu said, "Don't worry, it will be all right in a few days."

"Really?" Zhou Tang didn't believe it, "Are you going to lie to me again?"

Luo Mu smiled: "You forgot that I am half a cultivator, cough cough..." Halfway through the big talk, he coughed again.

Zhou Tang questioned him silently with an expression of "you really lied to me".

Luo Mu suddenly burst out laughing, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or Zhou Tang, "I don't lie to you, I have a solution, and it will be fine in a few days." Seeing that Zhou Tang still didn't believe it, he added, "Just watch."

Zhou Tang finally let go of his temper, gently held his hand, and sighed softly: "I'm watching, it must get better, don't lie to me."
