Just when Qin Yu "sent" his cheap third brother out, thousands of miles away.

Kyoto Daxing, the Yamen of the Ministry of War

According to the national system of the Xia Dynasty, there are six departments in three provinces, and the military department is one of the six departments. It is the meeting place of the military administration of the country and the dynasty! In the 150th year of the dynasty, the military department has always been the self-reserved place of the Wuxun group.

And today, after rudely leaving aside the officers on duty at the yamen, a team of guards rudely broke into the yamen of the military department, crossed the main hall, and went straight to the duty room of the staff department of the military department!

An old eunuch in a blue robe, surrounded by guards on the left and right, walked slowly to the door of the duty room and looked coldly at the officials and scribes in the duty room. Opening.

"Oracle!"

Everyone in the room, as soon as they heard the word "holy message", hurriedly left the bookcase, arranged their robes, and then, under the foreman of a young man wearing a dark green official uniform and a stone belt around his waist, they all knelt down in the duty room.

"Biography! The director of the Ministry of War, Xu Yan, enter the palace to see you! ”

As soon as the words fell, the young man who knelt on the ground with the foreman couldn't stop trembling, because he was the eunuch's mouth and the head of the military department from the eighth grade, Xu Yan!

The old eunuch didn't see the young man respond for a long time, but he didn't say anything, but it was because the things behind this son were far from being included by a small head of the ministry under the eighth grade. But I still couldn't help but sneer in my heart.

"Is this the child of a family that has been passed down for a hundred years, but that's it!"

After the ridicule, the eunuch's heart couldn't help but feel a little sour

"This martial arts disciple is really mud on the wall, if not, how can the stability of the dynasty be in vain, and how can it be easily broken by a group of barbarians! Not to mention that at this critical juncture, a group of scribes who dance and write ink will dictate them! Last year, His Majesty wanted to build a treasure ship and cruise to Taihu Lake, but the rotten Confucians actually said that this move shook the country's foundation, and they all went up to persuade them to stop, and they really don't know death! ”

Just when the eunuch's mind was distracted, a small chamberlain behind him leaned over and whispered behind the old eunuch.

"Wang Daban, this Lord Xu seems to have fainted!"

Hearing this, the old eunuch noticed that the young man kneeling on the ground no longer trembled just now, but knelt on the floor in a soft and weak posture, and a trace of anger appeared on the old eunuch's face.

"Praetorian Guard! Set up this guy and follow me into the palace! With that, the old eunuch turned his head and walked out!

The old eunuch came and went quickly, and it was only a quarter of an hour before and after, but this was the yamen of the military department, one of the six central departments, and there were no less than a dozen officials on duty in this yamen every day, not to mention the scribes and officials who were bustling with as many as 100 people, which had already attracted everyone to stop and watch.

But when everyone saw it, two guards, one on the left and one on the right, were walking along the corridor of the main hall of the military department towards the yamen of the military department. The crowd suddenly seemed to be a little commotion!

"Isn't that Lord Xu? How did you get taken away by the Praetorian Guards? ”

"This Lord Qin is not a ...... of the Duke of the Kingdom"

......

Just when everyone was in groups of three or five, gathering together to talk quietly in their ears, at this time, in a wing room on the left side of the main hall of the military headquarters, a middle-aged official in a scarlet official uniform walked to the front of the main hall and scolded loudly

"Are you waiting for the court to be on duty like this? Do you have to ask for this official, and ask Lord Shangshu to condemn you! ”

In this military department, there are more than 100 servants, but according to the national system, the only people who are qualified to wear purple robes and gold and jade belts are Shangshu of the third grade of the official residence, except for Shangshu, the remaining two squires and Lang Zhong who are in charge of various divisions of the military department, the grade is only from the fourth grade and the fifth grade, and according to the system, they can only wear crimson and light crimson robes and robes, with gold belts, so when everyone saw this scarlet official uniform, they immediately scattered as beasts, bowed their heads, and turned to flee.

Looking at everyone, they returned to their respective positions and got busy, as if there had never been a rude invasion of the Praetorian Guards in this military department just now, and no officials under the military department had been taken away. The middle-aged man walked back to the wing room with a gloomy face.

------------- dividing line--------------

At this time, in the imperial city of this capital, outside the closed hall and closed hall gates, courtiers wearing various colors of robes stood on the left and right.

And in the vertical arch hall, there are only two people in the wide hall, and the Great Xia Emperor Yun Shen is sitting on the throne of the vertical arch hall pondering something (oh, by the way, I forgot to say that the Xia Dynasty is unified with the Central Plains, the country is called Xia, and the capital is Daxing!). Beside him stood an old eunuch.

If Han Boxian was here, he would have been surprised, and the post newspaper he got clearly said that the Northern Barbarians had broken through the border pass, and the army was approaching the land of Gyeonggi. Your Majesty has already moved to the Yunhe Palace. Leaving the emperor Qi Wang in charge of the country, the imperial court transferred him back to Gyeonggi to guard Kyoto. But this Emperor Xia is still sitting on the throne of this imperial city now! But Han Boxian, who has been entangled by Xihu, is destined to have no way to know about this situation.

Talking about this, Emperor Xia Yunshen ascended the throne at the age of nineteen, and it has been twenty-five years, and he has been in charge of the country every day for more than 20 years, which has already made this summer son who is not in his fifties gray and his body is getting worse.

"Wei Bao" After another moment, Yun Shen shouted at the old eunuch standing aside

This Wei Bao is one of the two eunuchs who are close to Xia Zi's side, when Yun Shen was only the prince of the East Palace, he was already on the side, after Yun Shen ascended the throne, this Wei Bao is naturally a chicken dog ascending to heaven, and now he is with Wang De and is the inner attendant and supervisor. This Wang De is another eunuch who went to summon Qin Yu with the guards, and these two can be said to be the two most powerful eunuchs in the inner palace!

"The minions are here!"

"Why hasn't Wang De's old goods come back yet! Go and rush! Yun Shen said impatiently!

This Wei Bao couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, although he has been serving Yun Shen for more than 30 years, and he is also a confidant around Yun Shen, but Yun Shen is the summer son of Jiuding after all, and the coercion of the superior who has accumulated in the past 20 years of governance by the son of heaven. It still makes his heart palpitate!

"Back to Your Majesty, it's already three o'clock now, and I think I've already entered the palace gate!"

Hearing this, Xia Ziyunshen was silent for a moment, and then asked, "What do you think of today's battle report from the border state, what do I think!" ”

Wei Bao's face instantly turned embarrassed, although he was Xia Zi's close attendant and confidant, but this matter involved a lot, even if it was him, he didn't dare to say anything, but if the Son of Heaven asked, he had to answer.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, Your Majesty should discuss it with Zaifu and the ministers, how dare the old slave speak in vain if he has a mutilated body."

Xu saw the embarrassed look on Wei Bao's face, and Xia Zi couldn't help but chuckle. "You eunuch is also an old man by my side, to put it bluntly, I forgive you for your innocence!"

After thinking about it, Wei Bao said with a flattering smile, "The old slave thinks, since Your Majesty has ordered someone to arrest the concubine of Hu Guogong, I think Your Majesty has already made a holy decision in his heart!" Wei Bao said this beautifully, not only took himself out, he would not let himself offend some people, but also slapped Xia Zi's ass fiercely.

Sure enough, Xia Zi was very useful, and he didn't embarrass Wei Bao anymore, after all, he also knew that even if he was an old man around him, he didn't want to easily express his stance on some taboo things, so he scolded with a smile

"You two old goods, you always like to pretend to be confused, go, pass on my message, don't delay when you bring it, bring it directly to the Vertical Arch Palace! Tell the people outside to come in too! ”

"Whoa!" When Wei Bao heard this, he was relieved, and hurriedly turned around and went out to give the order.

In this huge hall, only Xia Zi was left. For a long time, a light sigh.

"Before I get to the point of dying old age, is anyone in a hurry to cross the line? After so many years, many people's memories seem to have faded! ”

Outside the arch hall

The courtiers who have been standing outside the palace have been lined up, and some of them can't bear the restlessness in their hearts.

"Boom! This time, your Shangshu Province has been pushed to the forefront! ”

An old man in a purple official robe, led by the left column, whispered to another middle-aged man on the right, who was also wearing a purple official robe. The words are full of worry!

The man didn't look at the old man's answer, but looked back at another man in a scarlet official uniform behind him and responded.

"This doesn't bother Gong Yu to worry about, this official also wants to see their ability, not only to see what the Shi Party is, but also to see if these six departments and twenty-four divisions are not the six departments and twenty-four divisions of my Shangshu Province!" There was a hint of disdain in his tone.

The official system of the national dynasty did not follow the previous dynasty, and the prime minister was abolished, and the important position above 10,000 people under this person was transferred to three provinces and six ministries. This middle-aged man is the governor of Shangshu Province, one of the three provinces, Shangshu Ling Kong Zhaixin, the word Biji. And the old man who just spoke out was the governor of one of the three provinces, Cui Yu, who was in his arms.

The old man seemed to want to say something, but at this moment the door of the temple was slowly opened. But seeing Wei Bao walking out of the hall, the old man didn't say anything when he saw this.

"The miscellaneous family has seen all of you!" Wei Bao first closed the door of the hall, and then turned around respectfully towards the ministers who had been standing outside the hall to salute. Although he has a lot of authority in this inner palace and is a close confidant of the emperor, if he accidentally provokes the group of "pillars of the national dynasty" standing outside this palace, he will still inevitably eat a few books, after all, this class of rotten Confucians looks down on them pickled people, and the country is now ruling the world with literature, and the arrogance of these scribes is getting higher and higher!

"Eunuch Wei is polite!" But this Cui Yu replied. And calling Wei Bao a supervisor, and calling him an official position in the national dynasty is a sign of respect for the person being called.

"Gong Yu, Your Majesty has ordered me to go and bring that criminal officer Xu Xuan to this vertical arch hall. I beg you to wait a little longer. After saying that, he saluted Cui Yu again. And he went round the crowd.

But as soon as Wei Bao left, the courtiers outside the hall were in a commotion. After all, this is the morning of today......

Let's pull the timeline back a few hours ago.

Mao Shi Daxing Palace

Under the guidance of the left and right attendants, Emperor Xia Yunshen sat on the throne that he had to sit on every day. In the more than 20 years since he ascended the throne, he has never been absent from court meetings, except for the ten-month holidays and festivals set by the dynasty. He didn't dare to recognize himself as Mingjun, but he was still a little complacent in terms of diligence.

After Yun Shen sat down, he saw that in the middle of the gate of the Daxing Palace, there was an official of Honglu Temple dressed in a dark green robe.

"At the beginning of the court, hundreds of officials will enter the court!" I saw this man say loudly.

The ministers of civil and military affairs outside the hall had long been divided into two shifts in order, and they advanced into the main hall together. On the left and right sides of the hall stood three officials in light green official uniforms, staring at the civil and military officers who were slowly entering the main hall. These six are the palace servants, subordinate to the palace under the imperial history platform, and are in charge of the palace to worship the court and the rituals.

After the hundred officials stood still, they saw Wei Bao standing in front of the left side of the throne, raising his head.

"Kneel!"

The civil and military officials performed one hundred and three bows, and after the salute was completed, Yun Shen stretched out his left hand and raised it in the air. Words.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The hundred officials got up, and then knelt down.

"There is a book, nothing to retreat!" Wei Bao said again.

"Your Majesty, the minister is in a hurry!" After Wei Bao finished speaking, he saw the old man on the left side of the hundred officials, slowly standing up, walking to the hall, holding the wat with both hands. Said respectfully.

"Yesterday, there was an urgent report in the border state! The old minister thought that this matter was urgent, so he should discuss it first! The old man said again. The identity of this old man is self-evident, and the Chinese book makes Li Miao. The word is clear.

This remark surprised Yun Shen.

"I don't know what's going on in the border state!" Yun Shen asked

"Back to Your Majesty, the history of the Daizhou assassination is playing, the Northern Barbarians raised troops to suddenly invade our border state, and broke through our border pass in one fell swoop, and all the states around Daizhou were affected by the army! There were many casualties among the military and civilians! And now the Northern Barbarian Army has already commanded Fenzhou! The old man wanted to continue, but the pot exploded directly above the court!

In the past hundred and fifty years, the Xia Dynasty has sat alone in the middle of the continent, except after unification, in order to deter the surrounding areas, it has only fought several times to exterminate many foreign races around it in one fell swoop, coercing the Quartet, and making the Quartet come to the court! But since then, the Xia Dynasty has not fought for a hundred years, and although the frontier has fluctuated in recent years, it has only been an occasional friction.

The Northern Barbarians invaded, and this move was tantamount to declaring war on the Xia Dynasty!

Before Emperor Xia Yunshen could speak, the court was already in a mess! The civil officials seemed to have forgotten what humility was, and they did not hesitate to use foul language that they knew, and loudly scolded the barbarians of the Northern Barbarians. And the military attaches are even more radical, one by one, eager to try, the wat in their hands is turned into a sword at this moment, and they are slashed around by this group of military attachés!

But there are not no calm people among these hundred officials. But he saw Shang Shuling going to the palace. Shouted at the hundred officials!

"You are the pillars of the country, and you are familiar with the courtesy! Under the Holy Venerable, in the court, how can you be so rude! After the next dynasty, the imperial historians in the palace who are standing on the left and right are afraid that they will be ruthlessly involved in you! ”

This is the only way to stop the chaotic scene in the court! However, it is no wonder that the Confucianism of the Xia Dynasty prevailed, and the Quartet was regarded as barbarians. And the Xia Dynasty was strong for a hundred years, so that foreigners did not dare to offend. Now it has been broken into the country by foreigners, causing smoke to rise in several states and hundreds of miles!

Kong Zhaixin saw that the riot of the hundred officials had stopped, so he returned to his original position, and Yun Shen, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the hundred officials with a gloomy face.

"What is the state of affairs today?" Yun Shen said slowly.

"Fenzhou and Rongzhou are still good, in addition to the state army, there is also a new army stationed in the state, and the situation is good! It's just ......," Li Miao replied.

"Just what, say!" Yun Shen's tone was already full of anger

"According to the Fenzhou Thorn History Report, the Northern Barbarian army stood on a pole and held a scarlet official uniform and attacked the state city,......"

Li Miao's words were interrupted again, but this time it was not the chaotic words of the hundred officials, but the sound of a bunch of objects falling to the ground, only to see Yun Shen sweep away the objects on the imperial case in front of him! No one in the court just spoke.

"Presumptuous! These barbarians of the Northern Barbarians! Dare to kill the assassin of my life! "According to the official system of the national dynasty, the official residence of the border state assassin is from the fourth grade, and the scarlet robe and silver belt are given.

"Troops! I want to raise up the army of the whole country and exterminate the Northern Barbarians! Shame on the snow! Yun Shen roared.

And the first person among the military attaches on the right, Xu Kuang, Duke of Hu Guo, was out of the ranks.

"Your Majesty, the ministers will join the army and die for the country. However, a few years ago, His Majesty made a plan for the southern expedition, and the minister thought that His Majesty should focus on the overall situation. The Northern Barbarians are a barbarian clan, and there are only more than 100,000 warriors in the clan. The new army newly trained by our dynasty has 37,000 troops and 24,000 military horses, and as far as the minister knows, the state guard stationed in Fenzhou is also in charge of 34,000 soldiers and 13,000 military horses. We will be able to defend ourselves against the Northern Barbarians! Conquer the land! ”

Yun Shen listened to Qin Kuang's words, and calmed down a lot, for the current Xia Dynasty, it is difficult to conquer. Dozens of states in Great Xia, only four states, the loss of Great Xia! If the southern expedition wins, Daxia can add more than a dozen states, and he will also become the Ming Jun of the Xia Dynasty to expand its territory in a hundred years, and he still knows how to calculate this account!

"Aiqing is worthy of being the pillar of the country, and this matter is in accordance with what Aiqing said, and the Zhongshu Province will be ordered to draft a military order, and after I approve it, it will be issued to the Ministry of War!"

After Yun Shen finished speaking, Xu Kuang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the country has not fought for a hundred years, the authority of the martial arts family is declining, and the civil and military disputes of the country and the dynasty have been in dispute for a long time, but the Wuxun group has long been at a disadvantage. The Wuxun family urgently needs a big battle to regain its glory. This southern expedition must not be a business trip! Fortunately, Emperor Xia Yunshen agreed, and his advice!

Li Miao, who was standing beside him, looked at Xu Kuang and breathed a long sigh of relief, but a trace of essence flashed in his eyes.

It's just a gentle drizzle before a thunderstorm!

I saw him say again: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing about the minister, according to the Daizhou Assassin History, the reason why the Beiban can easily break through this time is because the many flints built by the border states to warn of the enemy's situation are in disrepair and no one is stationed. As a result, no one warned of the invasion of the Northern Barbarians, so the border pass was raided by the Northern Barbarians! Please Your Majesty, order the arrest of the head of the Ministry of War, who is in charge of the affairs of Suitai! ”

As soon as these words came out, the court became noisy again.
