Thistle.

Although the officials of the Yan Kingdom wanted to deliberately conceal it, the news of the defeat still quietly spread throughout the palace.

There was silence in the entire palace city of Yanguo, and the palace people were as careful as cats when they walked, and they were even more soft when they spoke, lest they be heard by a noble person who was in a bad mood passing by, and then they would be beaten to death.

After all, this kind of thing is not without precedent, since a few days ago, the palace and temple people who were scolded to death by the Queen Mother's staff have added up to a full eight.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and it was very piercing in the silence of Miyagi.

Several palace people who happened to pass by widened their eyes, wanting to see who was so bold that they dared to gallop in the palace city.

When they saw the people clearly, the anger on their faces immediately turned to panic.

It was none other than the most powerful person in the Yan Kingdom today, who had already served as the prime minister of Changguo at a young age.

At this moment, Lejian was still wearing a pair of general armor, and the whole person looked dusty, and even a little embarrassed.

Lejian galloped all the way to the bottom of the steps of the main hall, and then turned over and dismounted.

"Chang Guojun!"

"I've seen Chang Guojun!"

The palace people and the soldiers guarding the front of the main hall bowed to the music room.

Rakuma hummed, nodded in response, and then stepped up the steps and walked towards the hall above.

There is no need to pass the word to enter the hall, and only Lejian can have this privilege in the entire Yan Kingdom.

As soon as he entered the main hall, a very sharp sentence came into the ears of the music room.

"Queen Mother, Chang Guojun has been defeated in successive battles, this is no longer the time to continue to support Chang Guojun's willful actions, if it continues like this, Yan Guo may be destroyed!"

"Queen Mother, the old minister implores the Queen Mother to think about the Yan Kingdom, immediately remove the military power of the Chang State monarch, and send an envoy to Handan to negotiate peace with the Zhao State!"

Le Jian stood at the door and looked from afar, and found that it was several white-haired old courtiers of Yan who were desperately admonishing, and the pretty face of the Empress Dowager Yan, who was sitting at the top, was full of frost, and she didn't say a word, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

Le Jian sneered, and suddenly said: "Yan Guo can't die yet!" ”

At this opening, everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound, and then they discovered the existence of the music room.

Several old ministers all showed shocked looks on their faces, and their eyes were quite strange when they looked at Lejian, after all, it was indeed a bit ugly to say bad things about people and be caught red-handed.

Empress Dowager Yan saw the arrival of Le Jian, the corners of her mouth suddenly turned up slightly, and the ice on her pretty face began to show signs of melting.

Lejian sat down in the first place on the right, and smiled at several old ministers of the Yan Kingdom with strange faces: "You guys go on, I'm listening." ”

Several old ministers of Yan Kingdom looked at each other, and now they are persuading the Queen Mother to remove your music room, but you music room jumped out, what do people say in front of you?

But in any case, after all, Le Jian is just a junior for these old ministers, you must know that among these old ministers, there are even courtiers like He Ju Xin, who are the courtiers of the Yan Zhao Dynasty, who are out-and-out veterans of the Three Dynasties, and the real old qualifications.

So just a moment later, the oldest of them, who was sitting there and gave people the feeling that he would die anytime and anywhere, said tremblingly: "Chang Guojun is dressed in dust, he must have just returned from the battlefield, I don't know how the battle is now?" ”

Le Jian shook his head, and a trace of bitterness appeared on his face: "The strength of the Zhao Qi coalition army is strong, our army has been defeated, and in less than five days at most, Jidu will be surrounded by the Zhao Qi coalition army." ”

"What?" Rakuma's words instantly seemed to ignite a powder keg, and the atmosphere in the hall exploded directly.

Several old ministers had angry looks on their faces, and they stretched out their fingers and pointed at the music room and began to reprimand.

"Chang Guojun, as the prime minister and leading general of the Yan State, you must bear the greatest responsibility for this defeat!"

"King Chang, if it weren't for your insistence on betraying the alliance with Zhao last year and attacking the Qi State, the current Yan State would not have ended up like this!"

"Chang Guojun, the reason why Yan Guo is here is all because of your mistakes!"

One mouth opened and closed, and the sound of countless accusations echoed in Lema's ears, and saliva was about to spray on his face.

Rakuma was silent, but his right hand was tightly clenched into a fist, and the green tendons on it were exposed.

Seeing that Lejian was speechless by himself, the old ministers became more imposing, and simply turned their heads to the Empress Dowager Yan and put forward their own requirements.

"Queen Mother, please depose the position of the Prime Minister of the Happiness Chamber, and choose another meritocracy!"

"Queen Mother, the minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister also seconded it!"

Empress Dowager Yan looked at these excited old ministers, and then at Lejian who didn't say a word, sighed secretly in her heart, and slowly asked, "Lejian, what do you have to say?" ”

Le Jian snorted, with a peculiar smile on his face, and said slowly: "Queen Mother, the minister does have something to say." ”

"Then let's talk about it."

Le Jian cleared his throat and said: "I heard that there is a doctor who is in contact with foreign countries and secretly marries the people of Zhao Guoren, and his second son in Wuyang City has been in and out of Handan Nulu many times, and he has declared in public that he is willing to be a Zhao person and not a Yan person. ”

"The minister also heard that there was a Yaqing who secretly accepted beauties and property from the king of Jizi Joseon, so he vigorously opposed the opinion of the queen mother to send troops to conquer Jizi Korea in the court discussion."

"The minister even heard that there was a doctor who took advantage of the convenience he once used to guard the city of Yuyang to secretly trade with the Donghu people, and the profits were extremely high, so he built an extremely luxurious mansion in Wuyang City."

"The minister heard about ...... again"

The music kept talking one by one, and every time he said something, one of the old ministers of Yan Guo who was present changed his face and his body trembled, and some people looked as if they were about to faint immediately.

After a long time, Le Jian finished all the things, and then saluted the Empress Dowager Yan in front of him, and said, "Back to the Empress Dowager, the minister's words are finished." ”

There was a dead silence in the hall.

Empress Dowager Yan's face showed anger, and she turned her gaze to the few old ministers of Yan who were almost self-conscious, and said in a deep voice: "Zhuqing, are all the words of this Chang Guojun true? ”

Although Empress Dowager Yan was young, she already had a majestic momentum like her mother Empress Zhao Wei, and under such a sweep of her gaze, several old ministers of Yan immediately felt strong pressure, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

"Queen Mother, the old minister knows his mistake, the old minister knows his mistake, please spare the Queen Mother."

"The Queen Mother, the old minister is also confused for a while, please forgive the old minister for the sake of the old minister's loyalty."

"Queen Mother,......

The hall was filled with cries of begging for mercy.

Empress Dowager Yan's pretty face was frosty, and she couldn't believe that these so-called old ministers who seemed to be so loyal to the country could do these things, and she wanted to be angry, but in the end, she couldn't help but sigh and said coldly: "Okay, you and the others will go down first." ”

Several old ministers of the Yan Kingdom no longer had the prestige they had before, and left the hall one by one.

Empress Dowager Yan looked at Le Jian, her eyes lingered on a few small wounds on Le Jian's face for a moment, and then she asked in a much gentler tone than just now, "Is it really impossible to win?" ”

Le Jian lowered his head and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, it's the ministers who are incompetent." ”

Empress Dowager Yan sighed faintly and said, "The old woman and King Zhao were born to the same mother, and the old woman knows his ambitions. I thought that he was just a person with great ambition and talent, but I didn't expect that Zhao Guo would be able to develop in such a situation in his hands! So now you can only negotiate peace with King Zhao? ”

Le Jian nodded with great difficulty, and said, "Back to the Queen Mother, cutting the land and seeking peace should be the only way." ”

There was silence in the hall again.

After a long time, Empress Yan's voice sounded again.

"So, what are you waiting for? Send a messenger to Handan today. ”
