On the Jinluan Palace, Xia Chang's face was ugly, and the silk letter paper he was holding in his hand was handed over to him by the official at the east gate of Jizhou City this morning.

"Humph! Last night, the sky was abnormal, the comet was seen in the southwest, and under the divination of the Taimiao, it had already indicated that the incorruptible government of Xiliangguan would rebel! Now, you see, here's the proof! ”

At this time, Xia Chang can be said to be extremely angry. He never imagined that what he had divined yesterday would become real today.

"Gao Shen, Cao You, tell me what I should do!"

He didn't mention Wei Entropy, because it was some of Wei Entropy's exhortation words yesterday that made Xia Chang's original worries turn into nothingness. At this time, this worry suddenly became a reality, if Xia Chang can continue to trust Wei Entropy, unless Wei Entropy changes his statement.

But if Wei Entropy changes his statement about clean government, then Xia Chang may have another idea, which is extremely unfavorable to Wei Entropy.

At this time, Wei Entropy's face had become gloomy. The silk letter in Xia Chang's hand, he had seen it before. The seriousness of the matter could not be clearer in his heart, but did he have any good way to justify the integrity of the government. Now Xia Chang's performance also gives him a deep sense of crisis.

As one of the four auxiliary ministers, Wei Entropy was left aside by Xia Chang at this time, and the meaning was already obvious. Many ministers, seeing this situation, whispers gradually came from the originally quiet court.

Cao You and Gao Shen, listening to Xia Chang asking them, glanced at each other, and seemed to have found the answer they wanted from each other's eyes.

However, both of them fell silent and did not speak.

"Xiliangguan has been lost! Liangzhou is already in danger! Isn't there anything you can do about it? ”

Seeing this, Xia Chang shouted angrily at a nameless fire for no reason.

"When the emperor was here, weren't you very able to speak? Now, I let you say, why don't you say it again? Hum! ”

The ministers of the Jinluan Palace, listening to Xia Chang's voice, immediately stopped whispering. They knew that Xia Chang was already in trouble at this moment and urgently needed someone to help him solve it.

"Your Majesty! The ministers and the general Wei Entropy were guaranteed by the head of the general, and the general had no intention of rebelling. This letter must have been made by Xirong's spies, please check it out before it's too late! ”

"Hmph, General Wei, you all know that your daughter is the wife of General Lian's son, so you naturally want to say a few more words for him at this time!"

Gao Shen's voice was almost disgusting, as if he was revealing something. The triumphant look on his face made Wei Entropy, who was kneeling on the ground, feel the urge to immediately draw his sword and kill him.

"General Wei, whether the honest government has rebelled or not, that's not up to you! Since this letter appeared in Jizhou City, even if he didn't do this, at least it can be determined that the honest government has such a mind. ”

"Besides, the city defense of Jizhou is all in charge of your General Wei. If there is a Xirong spy in the city, your General Wei will not be able to escape the involvement! ”

Cao You also opened his mouth at this time, and his eyes radiated electric light, and his aggressive attitude almost made Wei Entropy difficult to parry.

"Your Majesty, it's hard to say whether there is a rebellion against the honest government, and it's hard to say whether this letter was written by the honest government. But there is one thing that needs to be known, since the war between Xirong and our Great Xia, two of the five border passes in the Liangzhou area have fallen, the South Liangguan and the North Liangguan. However, only the Xiliang Pass between these two passes has never been captured. Moreover, on many occasions in military literature, the honest government played in retreat without fighting, and the Xirong army was consumed. ”

As soon as Cao You's words fell, one of the ministers walked out of the train and reported to Xia Chang. The man had gray hair and looked older than ordinary courtiers, and he was none other than Shangguan Wei, who was in charge of the paperwork. Whether it is an urgent report at the border or a decree issued by the auxiliary ministers, it must pass through his hands.

"With all due respect, this kind of war has lasted for a long time. If there is nothing to do with clean government and Xirong, how can it not take the initiative to face it? ”

"Makes sense!"

After Xia Chang listened, his face recovered slightly. At this time, something was already certain in his heart.

However, Wei Entropy on the other side, after hearing Shangguan Wei say this, his face had already turned pale, he immediately stood up, pulled out his sword, pointed at Shangguan Wei and shouted: "Ignorance and rottenness, misleading the country and the people!" I, Great Xia, will sooner or later fall at the hands of a courtier like you! If I don't kill you today, I'm sorry for the ancestors and ancestors of Great Xia! ”

There was something special about his saber, and as soon as he pulled it out, it was a golden flash, as if it was about to blind everyone's eyes. On the blade of the sword, nine dragon-shaped patterns are drawn on it, showing the dignity of the sword.

When many ministers saw this sword, they all knelt on the ground, and Xia Chang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, also stood up.

"This is the Nine Dragons Sword! , can force the faint monarch to abdicate; Next, you can kill the courtiers who talk nonsense! Hmph, today I will follow the edict of my ancestor Emperor Xuan Zongwu to kill your Shangguan Wei! ”

Needless to say, the origin of this sword is needless to say, and it will never be pulled out of its scabbard by Wei Entropy until it is absolutely necessary. At this time, it was unsheathed, apparently to protect the integrity of the government. The ability of honest government to fight for people and lead soldiers is in the eyes of Wei Entropy.

The land of Xiliangguan was originally suitable for defense, and it was the best policy to stick to the city and not fight. If such measures are not taken, Xiliangguan will easily be lost.

However, today's Shangguan Wei is reversing black and white, does not understand the art of war at all, and frames a clean government in his mouth, which Wei Entropy will never tolerate, so he pulled out this Nine Dragons Sword. He wants to use this sword to remove Shangguan's prestige and restore his reputation for clean government.

"Wait, General Wei!" Xia Chang coughed, and the atmosphere of the Jinluan Palace eased up, "Shangguan Wei is also concerned about Great Xia, and his worries are also my worries. Regardless of whether this letter is true or not, I also think it is necessary to investigate. ”

He was compromising with Wei Entropy, and the Nine Dragons Sword in Wei Entropy's hand represented the supreme authority of Great Xia at a certain level. It is precisely because of this sword that the Wei family will not decline for hundreds of years.

Hearing Xia Chang say this, many courtiers, including Wei Entropy, were also relieved.

Cao You and Gao Shen also jumped just now, but at this time they came to their senses, and their faces changed slightly, as if they were thinking about something. In one breath, Cao You stepped forward and said: "If Your Majesty has doubts, you can send a special envoy to call back the integrity of Xiliangguan." ”

"That's what I mean!"

The affairs of the court will naturally not spread to the area of Xiliangguan soon. After all, the two places are thousands of miles apart, and the fastest information transmission takes two or three days.

At the same time, in the Ningde camp, a group of people came.

"Yongliang's new army has trained the Eight Sage Kings!"

"Yongliang Metropolitan Governor Peng Feng has arrived!"

…………

One after another, the officials arrived at the Ningde camp, and Mu Nanfeng was doing the reception work. The Ningde camp was the last stop of their inspection, and its purpose was mainly to see how the training of recruits was going.
