As the New Year approached, the streets of Kyoto suddenly became lively, and there were more displaced people from the southwestern borderlands, and there were more people doing small business.

The homeless people are scurrying in the crowd, selling coolies, selling themselves into slavery, juggling, begging on their knees, suffering from war and displacement, and now suffering from the cold winter, hungry and thirsty, thinly clothed, and the cruelty of fate plays out in them day and night.

The people of Kyoto, who had been affected, now relaxed some of their tense nerves, and they began to wear new clothes, prepare New Year's goods, and write couplets to create a joyful New Year's atmosphere.

"Did you really win the battle?" on the street, people asked each other.

This time, those Moro thieves were beaten by Dongliangguo, and it is said that they were blocked in a mountain col that could not be exited on all sides, and they beat the dogs behind closed doors, and they attacked on all sides, haha, they beat the Moro people with a lot of fart!"

"It's not in a col, it's on an open flat ground, in the middle of the night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the Moro army wanted to sleep well, and after sleeping enough, they will attack our army the next day. I didn't expect that in the middle of the night, the heavenly soldiers descended, and my Dongliang army suddenly attacked, hehe, didn't I just take it by surprise and die obediently!"

"Then this time Qin Jian has made a great contribution, and the people can no longer accuse him of poor resistance and lack of ability to win the battle, right?"

"Hey, let me tell you, I heard that it was not Qin Jian and his southwest army who won the battle this time, but ......" lowered his voice, looked left and right, and didn't dare to speak.

"Who the hell is it? Say it quickly, do you want to die in a hurry?"

The voice was lowered, "Old General Bai!"

"Huh?! Didn't he set his whole family on fire and burned to death?"

"you, believe the news! It's all rumors, his old man is not dead, how can he die so easily if he doesn't die God of War! He is really going to die, isn't my Dongliang Kingdom all finished?!"

"Oh, that's good, that's good...... The sky has eyes...... His old man is finally willing to lead his troops to fight, and the days of being bullied in my Dongliang Kingdom are coming to an end!"

……

Although he is a car and sells pulp, he is also enthusiastic about national affairs while exchanging for his own small livelihood.

"Hey, no, how did I hear that it was the result of Qin Jian and the Southwest Army?" someone questioned.

"yes. I also heard that Qin Jian won the battle, and he had already made a military order to the imperial court for 800 miles, and he would continue to win more battles in the future. ”

"Yes, Qin Jian was brought out by Bai Shuai back then, and he is also handsome, the world only knows Qin Jian these years, and he has long forgotten the old general Bai who is in seclusion. ”

Someone shook his head and sighed: "You, ignorant people, it's best to be fooled, why don't you think about it, Qin Jian resisted for more than half a year, and the Moro army is advancing day by day, and now how can you suddenly win such a big battle, it must be Bai Shuai's comeback~~~"

"What's going on between Bai Shuai and the court, after all these years of seclusion, the court suddenly asked him to pay, and he didn't come out, so why did he come out again now?

"Alas, the inside story of this may only be known best to His Majesty today. How can we know about the affairs of the upper echelons, we only hope that the invaders will be driven out as soon as possible, so that the wife can live a peaceful life. ”

……

Another noisy and lively day finally passed in the increasingly strong smell of the New Year, and the night came.

In the Qinzheng Palace, Liu Changhuan knelt on the ground, raised his head and looked at the tired figure on the seat behind the bookcase with some difficulty.

He's waiting for another twist to come down.

But His Majesty was watching, and seemed to be attracted by something, and the twists and turns were not left out in the cold.

Liu Changhuan fell asleep waiting.

Recently, it has been very hard, and during the day he has accompanied His Majesty and the ministers to quarrel collectively, and it seems that only quarrels can solve major state affairs! Every night another kind of torment begins: His Majesty has trouble sleeping, and he can only stay up all night with him.

After all, people are not beaten by iron, His Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he, an old servant, is finally about to be unable to endure it.

If His Majesty deals with official business, he will not be so sleepy when he walks around, but His Majesty doesn't need anything, and even someone dangling around in front of him will make him angry, so Liu Changhuan can only bow down and kneel on the ground to accompany him.

Emperor Zhengxi is obviously much older, fine wrinkles have appeared in the corners of his eyes, and his eyes are full of bloodshots~~~ It is difficult for others to find, but he Liu Changhuan can see it most clearly.

His Majesty was looking at the folds, which had just been handed over from all over the country, as if they had been discussed by all the states and governments of the country, and they handed over the folds at this time.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on your victory, Qin Jian is in good command. ”

"Driving out the enemy forces in Moro is just around the corner. ”

"Congratulations to me for adding another handsome talent to Dongliang!"

"With this talent, Dongliang is very lucky. ”

……

The text written in a special font on the fold is nothing more than the same content. During the day, His Majesty asked people to read it, and hundreds of civil and military officials listened to it in the court. At night, His Majesty read it by himself and asked Liu Changhuan to listen.

Last night, Liu Changhuan wanted to cry when he heard it. In the end, His Majesty himself was bored, and he toppled the hill that had been folded up, and this was the end.

Tonight, His Majesty began another round of tossing.

Liu Changhuan couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't dare to persuade him, he knew that His Majesty had a fire in his heart, and those courtiers couldn't see this fire, and they couldn't understand it~~~ Even if they saw it, they pretended not to know, even if they understood, they pretended not to understand!

In fact, there is only one person who is willing to understand and explain, but this person has been ill recently, except for the last time he was carried to the court, he fell asleep again when he went back, and he could no longer stand up to go to the court.

hated everyone to be one-sided, and followed Yin Zuoxiang with a brush. It's either helping, or it's the same thing.

No other sound could be heard in the court.

However, holding it like this will make His Majesty sick.

"I am glad to hear that the Southwest Army won a great victory in the first battle, the people of Liangzhou praised each other, Qin Jian was a strong prisoner, and the comprehensive expulsion of Moro to defend the territory of Dongliang was just around the corner, and the ministers were greatly encouraged and rejoiced. ”

His Majesty dragged out his voice, reading word by word.

Liu Changhuan raised his head, and he didn't wait for His Majesty to smash another twist for a long time.

"Liangzhou Zhang Zhizhou, a rough man, I can't imagine that this wording and words are getting better day by day......" His Majesty muttered, as if admiring.

Liu Changhuan pouted secretly, those sycophants, where can they use their own hands, they have their own masters.

"Your Majesty, let's take a break, you have read these excerpts several times, it's really ......" Liu Changhuan cautiously reminded.

"I want to see a different voice, even if there is only one person, even if there is only one sentence......," the emperor muttered, "but no, Liu Changhuan, do you know, there is not a single sentence!

"General Qin has won the battle, everyone is happy, so ......" Liu Changhuan tried to comfort His Majesty.

"! it's all!" shouted His Majesty. With the shout, a large stack of folds flew to the ground, smashing Liu Changhuan dizzy. He simply didn't pick it up and knelt quietly.

"What's wrong with this world? What happened to all my ministers? Why do you have to go against your will, why do you have to deceive me? You are still angry with each other, and you are still under the guise of the people of the world? Tian is shameless! Do you really forget that there is still shame in the world?"

Finally outraged.

After many days and nights, His Majesty's anger reached its limit.

"Liu Changhuan, you tell me, why is this happening? Could it be that I am stupid? Am I not distinguishing between loyalty and treachery? Am I not diligent enough? Am I not capable of governing this Dongliang world?!"
