At this time, Yan Zhan was weakly holding Li Deng's hand, and his eyebrows were full of sloppy color. And Sun Baizhu, who looked a little embarrassed, also pretended to appease Yan Zhan a few words under Li Deng's eyes.

"Your Majesty's dragon body is fine, and according to the results of Weichen's diagnosis and treatment, Xu has been worrying too much recently, and he has worked hard for state affairs day and night, resulting in a deficiency of qi and blood, and excessive wear. If you can take care of it, supplemented by mild prescriptions, it should be fine. ”

The illness that Sun Baishu said in his mouth, Yan Zhan was as if he hadn't heard of it, but he just squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Li Deng's face with a dejected face.

When Li Deng saw Yan Hunt's pitiful appearance, he leaned into his ear and whispered:

"Your Majesty does not need to worry about state affairs, just rest in peace. The old minister will definitely settle everything properly. As soon as the words fell, Li Deng patted Emperor Xuande's sweaty hands again, said 'Weichen retreated', and led Sun Baishu out of the Winter Warm Pavilion.

Now that Youbei Third Road is already a big enemy, Yan Zhan is 'sick' again, and there are already many court officials standing outside Dong Nuan Pavilion, staring at the two people who have just walked out of the door.

Sun Baishu first looked at Li Deng's expression, paused slightly, then raised his worried face and whispered to the ministers around him:

"After diagnosis and treatment, I am afraid that His Majesty is very seriously ill this time. All the ministers present today are all ministers of the imperial court, and there is no need to hide it. Now in a moment's urgency, the old man has not come up with any good methods, but if His Majesty continues to be burdened by state affairs, I am afraid that there will be ............ Therefore, I would like to ask you to carefully consider how I should get through the current difficulties after returning home. In addition, remember to keep your Majesty's illness tight-lipped, so as not to cause civil unrest in the capital...... Alas! ”

Although Sun Baishu's voice was low, everyone present could hear it very clearly. But at present, the enemy is really inseparable from Yan Hunt, the person in charge of the house. If you really wait for the Pingbei Marquis Guo Xiao to lead the army, then the 150,000 Pingbei army will surround Fengjing City with an iron bucket, then there is really no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground.

This is a major event related to everyone in Fengjing City, and of course it will make your adults anxious. Li Deng still didn't say a word at this time, and let everyone present talk about it, he just habitually watched coldly; And Sun Baishu, the head of the courtyard, was also surrounded by all the adults, carefully explaining His Majesty's 'illness' in detail, and after all the adults left with heavy faces, only a few people on duty in the inner palace were left, and they waited in place without saying a word.

Lu Xiangyin, the supervisor of the Imperial Horse Prison, was injured by a strange old man who broke into the forbidden place of the palace a few days ago, although Sun Baizhi performed the operation in time, fortunately saved an old life, but from the time of the beating, he closed the door on the grounds of recuperation. Now, even in the face of the disaster of 'falling the country', he only sent his own closed disciple, the little fat man Liu Zhi, to wait for the decree. From this point of view, the old eunuch's injury is not yet neat.

And the three thousand Taibai guards who originally guarded the palace were removed by Liu Banxian a few days ago, and now there are only two thousand left. These Taibai guards were all soldiers of a hundred battles personally brought out by Guo Yunsong, the Taibai Flying Tiger; And at present, there is no way to fill the gap of 1,000. With only a mere 2,000 numbers, at this time, even the matter of guarding the inner palace city defense is already stretched. However, even so, Yan Fujiu, who had just suffered a big loss, still had to be on duty, and this most leisurely and comfortable job in the past has now become the last line of defense of the Youbei Dynasty.

And Yan Jiuning, the patriarch of the clan mansion, is the one with the worst complexion. This old patriarch is already eighty and two this year, and he is a real old man. After he learned the bad news that the number one general, Yan Chongwu, a clan relative, was 'crushed and scattered' by the Northern Yan army, he had already broken his liver and intestines. If it weren't for being driven by the power of grief and hatred, plus the support of two little eunuchs by his side, he wouldn't have been able to stand in front of the Winter Warm Pavilion at all.

Li Deng looked at these people who were actually at the helm of the three roads in Youbei, and finally spoke:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty is in poor health, and I am afraid that I will no longer be able to take care of state affairs; But now that the war is imminent, the old man will no longer say any useless nonsense. When the old minister was accompanied, he received His Majesty's will. In accordance with the will of the Holy Decree, I ask Yan Day, the prince of the East Palace, to temporarily take over the post of superintendent of the country during the period of His Majesty's recuperation, and lead us and other courtiers and people in Youbei to tide over the difficulties together. ”

As soon as these words came out, except for the old and heavy-eared Yan Jiuning, everyone had different thoughts. Needless to say, I also know that Liu Zhi, who came on behalf of Lu Xiangyin, must be unswervingly sent by the emperor. Therefore, it is logical to follow the holy decree; And although Yan Fujiu, the king of Qi, has only 2,000 troops at the moment, since he can shoulder the last line of defense of the palace, he must also be Emperor Xuande's most hardcore confidant; Coupled with Li Qing, the head of the inner court whose future is tied to Emperor Xuande's Yan Hunt, these three people work together, and everything in the palace is still tightly in the hands of His Majesty;

On the contrary, Prime Minister Li Deng and Yan Jiuning, who seem to be old and faint, have very vague attitudes and positions; Coupled with the Zhengsun Baizhu of the Tai Hospital, who has always been neutral, and Zhang Huangling, who hugged his head and ran away without firing an arrow, the four people and four hearts and eyes seem to be a plate of scattered sand, and they can't become any climate...... However, the household department and the Ministry of Industry are Prime Minister Li Cheng's 'basic plates', and he can be said to be a leading figure in the civil official system of Youbei, plus there are still 40,000 'nursing men' in his hometown in Dongyoulu, and when the military strength of Youbei is overstretched, it has become a force to be reckoned with.

Although Yan Jiuning usually seems to be just a puppet-like echo worm, he has often been 'rounded and flattened' by Li Deng and Guo Yunsong for many years, without the slightest temper, but after all, when the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he had already been promoted to the position of the patriarch of the Yan clan. After decades of ups and downs, except for Guo and Li, the other enemies don't know how many waves have changed, but he still stands like a green pine, which can really be called old and strong. How could such an 'evergreen tree in the court' not have his excellence?

Coupled with the ambiguous Zhang Huangling who swayed from side to side, except for the Pei Ya Governor's Mansion army, which was firmly nailed to the border of Mobei, all the troops that could move on the three roads of Youbei were already under the control of these people; If they have reached some kind of tacit understanding......

At this time, in Fengjing City, from the emperor and prime minister to the commoner beggars, everyone was shrouded in a shadow in their hearts. Although the non-commissioned officers of all armies were under the orders of their own commanders, they also began to prepare for the battle of defending the city, but whether they were generals and colonels, or non-commissioned officers, their eyes and expressions were numb!

Whenever faced with a big battle, the soldiers are either timid and panicked, or excited, but there is no reason to be so numb. You must know that the soldiers will have such expressions, and it is often after a long period of tug-of-war of attrition that the faces of those tired soldiers will appear. Whether it is the Taibai Guard or the Flying Tiger Army, everyone is numb and mechanically or carrying grain and grass, or strengthening the city defense, although the scene is still going its own way, but the veteran with battlefield experience will know that the military heart in the capital has been dispersed at this time.

Prime Minister Li Deng returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, looked at Li Fu, the butler who was waiting for the carriage at the door, and walked straight to the direction of the study without even saying hello; And when the housekeeper Li Fu saw the old man returning to the house, he just waved his hand, and the coachman led the carriage into the backyard of the Li Mansion. Before a cup of tea, Shan Qingquan carried a cloth bag that was dripping blood and turned it back into the prime minister's mansion.

Shan Qingquan walked into a warehouse on the west side of the kitchen, opened a rice noodle jar covered with a wooden lid, reached out to untie the cloth bag, and instantly shook out four 'fresh' heads from it. He casually took a small cloth bag next to the rice noodle jar, poured a bag of white powder evenly into it, picked up a wooden stick and stirred it a few times, and his head hit the cylinder with a 'bang' sound.

After doing these 'chores', he washed it carefully, changed into clean clothes, carefully wiped the Xiaoxiang soft sword in his hand, and then wrapped it back around his waist. After finishing everything in an orderly manner, Shan Qingquan walked to the gatehouse and sat down next to Li Fu, who was smoking a cigarette pouch. Li Fu didn't look at him either, just pushed over the other cigarette gun on the bench, stared at the empty door of the Prime Minister's Mansion with his eyes, and asked casually:

"Where's Miss?"

"It's been sent to that kid surnamed Shen."

"Then why aren't you waiting by the side of Miss and Shen Gongzi?"

The kid surnamed Shen said that the young lady was in no danger to him, and now the most dangerous place on Youbei Third Road is this Fengjing City. He was worried that someone would fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos to break into the empty door of our Prime Minister's Mansion. I hurried back. ”

Hearing Shan Qingquan say this, Li Fu squinted his eyes and let out a long puff of smoke; Then he slammed the copper-eyed pot to the ground, and glared at Shan Qingquan with slanted eyes, as if he said to himself:

"Afraid that someone will take advantage of the chaos to break into the empty door of my prime minister's mansion? Interesting...... Could it be that our aunt thinks that without you, our Li Mansion will become an empty door? ”

Shan Qingquan held the cigarette pouch in his hand, looked at Li Fu's disappearing back, smacked his lips, shook his head and muttered in a puzzled tone:

"Hey, look at this man! I've been angry all my life, I'm old, I'm old, and I've got a temper......"
