710 The Tang War (2/2)

The minister who came from outside said quaveringly, ”The West-Hill Divine Palace has just issued a rescript.”

The rescript from the West-Hill Divine Palace, with a personal letter from the Hierarch Lord, was sent to Chang'an at the same time.

In the rescript, the West-Hill Divine Palace exposed the Empress that the Emperor of Tang had protected for decades, as being the Saintess of the Devil's Doctrine. It was a blasphemy. Two leaders of the Academy were eliminated just because they didn't respect Haotian. Therefore, the Divine Hall started a war against Tang. It also said the Golden Palace went south under Haotian's order and the Tangs should not revolt. They should overthrow the dark royal family with the people of the world.

Finishing the rescript, Li Yu began to read the letter.

Compared with the splendid rescript, the letter was simpler. There was only one sentence: The darkness covers the stars and Tang is in trouble. You should drop it.”

Holding the letter, she fell silent and began to tremble.

Li Huiyuan nervously looked at his elder sister and He Mingchi lowered his head. The eunuchs and maids' faces turned pale and the ministers widely opened their eyes. The whole hall was in silence.

The Golden Palace was the strongest enemy Tang had ever encountered in decades, while the rescript and the letter were the most frightening things for the Tangs.

In fact, there was no country in the world able to destroy the Tang Empire, including the Golden Palace. As long as Tang could make it past the rough beginning, they would win.

However, if the whole world was going to attack Tang, could they make it? When it happened many years ago, Tang had the Headmaster, but not anymore, as he had already ascended to heaven.

Facing the attack from the entire world, any country would directly crash under the horrible pressure and the prospect of despair.

However, the Tang Empire would not. With the strong confidence and faith that were built for a thousand years, the Tangs felt anxiety, but they didn't give up.

All the institutions of the imperial court quickly acted and all kinds of military orders were sent from Chang'an to all directions.

In contrast, as the political and military power center, the imperial palace was calm and peaceful.

Everything they should do had been done; what else they could do but wait?

Standing by the stone balustrades and looking at the sky, Li Yu was in silence.

Thinking of the letter from the West-Hill Divine Palace and the prediction of the Imperial Astronomer, she put her hands behind her back, clenching tightly. Her nails cut through her palm, drawing blood.

She took a deep breath to suppress the fear and hesitation in her heart, and then turned to the imperial study over the small lake.

Since she tampered with the Edict and made Li Huiyuan the Emperor, she never entered the imperial study again. The room was not big but she felt depressed because it was filled with her father's smell.

However, she came in today. She needed the spiritual comfort and support from her father at this moment.

A military general entered. Although the enemy didn't get close to Chang'an, it was wartime in the whole country.

”When can General Xu Shi reach Chang'an?” she asked.
