Ye Qing, who had taken the first step, stood on both feet, and his legs were trembling!
Cough cough!
It was so difficult!
For the first time, he felt that it was so difficult!
At this moment, she took another glance at the empress, who was high and mighty.
He was surprised to find that Wu Zetian was mumbling something.
He focused his attention and finally saw her lips clearly.
Haha!
Ye Qing laughed again!
"Time has passed, I can no longer love!”
"Turning around, the past suddenly became clear!”
"Repeating your gaze, it's hard to connect my memories!”
......
"Meteors flash past, don't be sad!"
"Who will remember who after thousands of years? Who will remember who?”
Ye Qing regained his strength and stepped onto the second step.
As he walked with all his might, he silently recited the lyrics.
He really didn't expect that Wu Zetian would remember the song she sang while walking.
After walking up to the ninth step, Ye Qing suddenly lay down.
Cough cough!
He lay on the ground, coughing heavily.
At this moment, the warmth and sunlight made him sweat profusely.
"Great General!"
"Brother Ye!"
“......”
At this moment, the generals and Cheng Yaojin and Su Lie, the two fat and thin old men, rushed forward to help him.
"Don't, don't come over!"
"I can do it!"
"I am the Great General, I can do it!"
Cough cough!
Everyone stopped at the first step. Looking at this scene, their hearts ached and they all cried.
The Great Tang's Defender Duke had fallen!
The Great General of the Flying Cavalry of the Great Tang couldn't stand!
The invincible War God who had suppressed the surrounding countries for decades had finally lost to time and illness!
They looked at the empress, who was high and mighty, and a thought appeared in their minds.
They hoped that the empress could
However, they quickly dismissed this idea. Their thoughts were too polite.
"I didn't lose!"
"I can't lose!"
"I can do it!"
“......”
Ye Qing repeated these words in his mind, constantly giving himself psychological hints.
Ahhh!
Finally, he let out a roar that he used to roar when he rode on the battlefield and killed his enemies.
Then, he threw his trembling hand hard onto the steps.
Finally, his hands regained strength and he began to crawl.
Even if he had to climb, he had to climb up.
Below the Sacred Central Crypt, the palace maids on the ninety-nine steps saw this and all bowed, silently shedding tears.
Wang Xiaojie and Han Sizhong, who were standing on both sides of the empress, saw that his lips were pale but his face was red!
The arteries in his neck were visible to the naked eye!
One could imagine how hard he was trying!
As Ye Qing's student, he gritted his teeth and turned around. He couldn't bear to watch anymore!
As for the empress, she recited the lyrics silently and watched without blinking.
Looking at Ye Qing climbing up with his strong willpower, it was as if he was looking at the past ten years.
In these ten years, the fifty-year-old general who had already made a lot of contributions had once again sublimated!
These ten years were also the growth of the sixteen-year-old empress!
Long live Tongtian for a year!
Ye Qing led the troops from the Inner Pass and the Henan Pass to the west.
He defeated the rebellious Huihe tribes and fought all the way to Shatuo Prefecture, the hinterland of the Western Turks, clearing the threat to the west of the Silk Road into the Tang Dynasty.
After that, he stationed 10,000 troops and built the Shatuo Prefecture Protectorate to maintain law and order and manage the various tribes.
In the second year of Wanshou Tongtian, he returned to the court.
That year, the empress greeted him in formal attire."Congratulations on your victorious return, Great General. I have also done something practical, greatly cutting off the strength of the various aristocratic families.”
Half a month later, Ye Qing led the troops from the east and north of the river, using the Shatuo Protectorate headquarters as the base point, and once again advanced west, attacking Xuanchi Prefecture and subduing the Karluk Tribe.
After that, he established the Great Desert Prefecture Protectorate, the Yinshan Prefecture Protectorate, and the Yuebo Prefecture Protectorate, all of which were subordinate to the Shatuo Prefecture Protectorate.
In the fourth year of Wanshou Tongtian, he returned to the court.
That year, the empress once again greeted him in formal attire."Congratulations on your victorious return, Great General. Zhen has done another great thing. Just last month, the first Imperial Examinations began.”
Half a month later, Tubo Marshal Gar Qinling led his army to attack Qiuci in an attempt to fundamentally control the Silk Road.
Ye Qing set off again, leading the troops of Shannan Road, Longyou Road, Jiannan Road, and Lingnan Road.
On the battlefield of the Qiuci Kingdom, Ye Qing met a formidable opponent.
The two sides fought back and forth, and the outcome was half and half!
In the historical records of his previous life, it was written that the Tibetan Marshal who defeated Xue Rengui in the Battle of Dafei River was like the Tibetan version of Ye Qing.
For the first time, Ye Qing had the illusion that he was competing with him in the art of war.
Fortunately, in the battle of Dafei River, Ye Qing had gained a slight advantage and gained control of the four towns of Anxi, establishing the Anxi Protector-General's Office.
This battle lasted for three years!
At the end of seven years, Ye Qing returned to the court.
That year, for the third time, the empress greeted him with formal attire."Congratulations on your triumphant return, Great General. I created the Martial Arts Examination and produced the first martial arts champion last month.”
"This time, I will once again appoint you as the general of the hussars and confer you the title of First Rank Duke!”
However, the empress didn't know that Ye Qing, who was injured on top of his injuries, had suffered a palm strike from Geer Qinling in this battle, causing a fatal illness.
Half a month later, Ye Qing still felt that it was not safe. He had to increase the scope of control.
He left Jade Gate Pass once again. This time, he led the troops of Jiangnan Dao and Huainan Dao.
He used Han General Geng Gong to guard Shu-lik City as the commander's mansion and led the army west.
The army had reached the Aral Sea (Mengchi) region, causing the Great Tang's Silk Road to extend by half compared to the Silk Road that Zhang Qian had opened up.
In the ninth year of Wansui Tongtian, the Mengchi Protectorate was completed.
It was also that night that he vomited blood and was sent back in a low-key manner.
This journey took three months!
For the fourth time, the empress greeted him in formal attire.
She said with tears in her eyes," Congratulations on your triumphant return, Great General. I have not rested. I attach importance to agriculture, to industry, and to the development of commerce.”
"Now, you make the four seas peaceful, and I make the people happy.”
At the thought of this, the empress blinked and a tear rolled down her face.
Then, she made an extremely ungentlemanly gesture.
She actually took a step down the stairs!
