Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain did not complain.

Three black-armored knights rode through the street, and pedestrians avoided it.

Horseback riding is usually strictly forbidden in Jinling City, but there is only one situation.

Eight hundred miles to expedite military intelligence.

The people frowned.

Such black-armored knights, they have a special name in the mouths of the people.

"Raven. ”

Whenever a crow appears, it always brings bad news.

And this bad news often means that many people will die.

Several middle-aged men squatting on the side of the street and setting up stalls glanced at each other a few times.

Put away the smile and clean up the stall in silence.

Several men returned to their homes, took out a set of armor from under the bed and from the cabinet, and wiped it.

Not long after, the black-armored knight came to the gate of the palace and handed over the urgent paperwork in silence.

All the way into the main hall, the civil and military officials have been waiting outside the hall for the past few days.

There is no news from the harem yet, and after the second movement of the dragon vein, His Majesty has never been to the court again, and everyone knows that it has been these days.

The documents were handed all the way to the prime minister.

In the past few days, with the support of the prime minister, Princess Zhaoyang began to supervise the country and learn to deal with political affairs.

If nothing else, Princess Zhaoyang will be the next emperor of Zhaoguo.

Although there were inevitably opposing voices, they were all suppressed by the prime minister.

The prime minister is the representative of the Legalist family, and if he makes a decision, then it means that the Legalist family stands behind the princess.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, there is no suspense in this battle for succession.

After all, the princess is the only blood of the emperor. The king of Puyang is already old, and the ninth prince has not been succeeded to the name of Emperor Zhao.

There is only one princess left who is eligible for inheritance.

The prime minister frowned and looked at the paperwork, didn't say anything, and stretched out his hand and handed it to Princess Zhaoyang next to him.

The princess's originally sad face became even more serious.

After a moment of silence, he turned to the ministers and said, "The barbarians have knocked. ”

The oppressive atmosphere in the main hall was even more solemn.

When His Majesty is critically ill, the barbarians are really good at picking the time.

I'm afraid it's not going to be a good time this year.

No one spoke for a long time, so he had no choice but to stand up under the military department: "Let Chengguo Gong send someone to support first." ”

Prime Minister: "When Grandpa Guo got the news, he had already sent troops." But this year may be different, the barbarians are not ready to grab some food and leave as in previous years, judging from the current intelligence, this time they have gathered 300,000 horses, I am afraid that they want to take advantage of His Majesty's ......" did not speak.

"They shouldn't have returned so easily this time. Zhaoyang took over.

Zhaoyang's face was even more sad: "Can the money from the treasury still support us to fight such a game?"

The prime minister shook his head: "This kind of battle can't be considered with money, if it can be sustained, it must be fought, and if it can't be sustained, it must be fought." ”

Tobe Squire: "I still have some money left." But if the barbarian country fights with the strength of the whole country, no amount of money can withstand such consumption. ”

The ministers complained about their difficulties.

Zhaoyang looked weakly at the ministers in the main hall who were fighting with each other.

"Hit. ”

Weak voices mingled between the ministers.

Although the voice was small, it was immediately heard by them, and the ministers quieted down very quickly and looked at Princess Zhaoyang.

Zhaoyang wiped away the tears hanging on his face and repeated it again.

"Hit!"

The hall was quiet for a while.

Then it quickly started to get noisy again.

This time, however, I didn't hear anyone complaining.

I only heard someone shouting: "You old fool, you have to allocate money to me." Where do you get food without money?"

Another voice also roared: "Food is important, but isn't armor and weapons important?"

Another voice sounded: "Horses, not enough horses, can they outrun the barbarians?"

The prime minister looked at the rulers of the Zhao Kingdom in the main hall with a smile on his face, and watched them blushing and arguing with thick necks.

said to Zhaoyang: "Don't worry! With these old goods, Zhaoguo can't collapse." ”

When the minister with sharp ears heard this, he turned his head and yelled at the prime minister: "You old horseman! You are an old man, if you don't allocate 100,000 taels of silver to me in this matter, we won't be done!"

Another minister scolded: "Bah! A scolding of you for an old piece of goods is worth 100,000 taels of silver! Why don't you go and grab it? Aren't you just an old thing?"

The person who was scolded didn't care, and smiled: "This is faster than robbing, you can scold as you like, just give money." ”

Another voice rang out again: "Horse, horse!"

"What a horse! You don't have a horse!"

"You don't have a horse!

"Your horse just died!"
