Jinling, an ancient and sacred city, is waking up from the dawn, and the banks of the Yangtze River and Qinhuai River that surround it are also bustling with activity, with countless sailing ships coming in and out of the water, and the goods on board meet the needs of millions of people in the city.

This is the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, it is also the well-deserved center of this planet, where hundreds of millions of people revolve around the city, and every day His Majesty the Emperor's orders depart from the Forbidden City, and his will can be carried out even thousands of kilometers away.

At this moment, in the Forbidden City, the core of the city, there is such a small meeting like this.

The Imperial Palace, Chengxin Palace, His Majesty the Emperor's daily use to entertain the cabinet of adults, at this moment, the cabinet first assistant, Guanwen Hall bachelor, Yang Shenzu, cabinet second assistant, senior palace bachelor, Lu Wenxuan, Sun Zheng, Ma Dayuan and others are all present. Everyone frowned and didn't say a word, obviously everyone was facing a great difficulty at this moment.

In the middle of the night, His Majesty Emperor Zhao Xuan opened his mouth to break the calm:

"Everyone, you must have already read the Nanyang affairs reported below, because the handling of Annan Province was not effective, which caused the Tianzhu envoys to return to the horse halfway, and then King An brazenly sent troops to attack King Ning's domain. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say? The messenger you sent earlier seems to have completed the task given to him by the widow. ”

When the emperor talked about Zhang Qin, he didn't have a tone, but everyone here knew that Zhang Qin was out of play, and he completely messed up this errand.

It doesn't matter if the emperor says so casually, for an official of Zhang Qin's level, it will be a disaster, not only will he have no future from now on, but even the entire Zhang family behind him may have a gloomy future.

This is the power of the emperor, Chrysostom.

The problem is not that Zhang Qin did an errand, but that his errand fell into the eyes of the emperor.

It's terrible, and that's where the risk lies.

Some people are eager to avoid it, but others are afraid of it.

Of course, today's focus is not on this Zhang Qin, Zhang Qin himself is just a small issue, and it doesn't matter. These people in the hall won't care, after all, for them, the entire Zhang family is just a little worm.

The important thing is that they were originally sent by the imperial court to calm down the situation, but not only did they not solve the problem, but they also expanded the problem. That's the point.

Tianzhu invaded Manchuria, this kind of thing, how many years has the Celestial Empire not encountered it.

It has been three or four hundred years since the establishment of the vassal state system of the Great Song Dynasty, but there has never been such a thing, the key is that the two sides of this are still the Anwang Domain and the Ningwang Domain, which is a bit bad.

Lose face!

Shameful!

The war between King An and King Ning seriously slapped the face of the Great Song Dynasty.

This is like the Great Song Dynasty is the head of the family, and the vassal state system is the little brothers under the head of the family.

If the head of the family is strong enough, then the brothers below will not fight with each other, they will only be suppressed by the strong strength and authority of the eldest brother, and they will not dare to lose their temper casually.

Only when the big brother loses his deterrent power will it be the little brothers below who dare to come out and shout.

What does this mean, it shows that the Great Song Dynasty is losing control of its vassals.

This kind of thing would have an unpredictable and bad impact on the vassal system of the Great Song Dynasty.

Who knows that those overseas princes will not have the evil intention of breaking free from the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

Especially at this juncture when the Great Song Dynasty was preparing for the Northern Expedition, such a thing happened, and this was the worst. If this matter is not handled well, it may even affect the imperial court's Northern Expedition plan!

Now what?

This shit was all caused by Annan Province below, but the result was to let the imperial court wipe their buttocks, which is really unreasonable.

Especially when the emperor sat on it, he was still a little worried in his heart, Li Zhe was a stranger, others didn't know, but he knew, what he wanted to know most now was how much of a role Li Zhe played in this.

Could it be that the legend handed down by our ancestors is true? Aliens, can one person prosper the country and one person bring disaster to the country?

Yang Shenzu, who is the first assistant, must stand up and speak at this time. He thought for a moment and said:

"Perhaps, we want the Imperial East China Sea Fleet to be transferred to the South Seas, after all, the South China Sea Fleet is too weak to deter Tianzhu, but if the East China Sea Fleet appears, it should be able to suppress Tianzhu's wolf ambitions. Then in the follow-up, I will send another important minister to the minister, as long as we can persuade King Ning to give more compensation and satisfy King An, Tianzhu should still stop fighting. ”

Of course, now they don't know that the Ning Wang Domain has been beaten to the ground, and they are about to be annexed, and their idea of peacefully resolving the dispute is doomed to be in vain.

Moreover, it can also be seen from this that until now, Jinling still did not have specific information on Tianzhu's national strength, and they did not expect the huge growth of Tianzhu's armed forces, and the emergence of sharp weapons such as steam warships and rifled guns was a huge invention that was enough to change the direction of a war, but these were impossible to predict when Jinling was thousands of miles away.

Jinling was thousands of miles away, and it was impossible for Ning Wang Fan to retreat so quickly on the front line.

As soon as the news of the war from the Nanyang front reached Jinling, the situation of the Ning Wang Domain over there had already become hopeless.
