Luoyang, the Tianqian Hall of the Imperial Palace, the young Emperor of the Great Chu Tianqi was furious, threw the music in his hand on the ground angrily, slapped the table and scolded: "Is this my Great Chu's minister, is this my Dachu's loyal minister?" When I am an idiot or a fool, it is obviously a big defeat, a mess of defeat, a loss of teachers and humiliation of the country, and they actually let them write a victory, is there such a victory! ”

The white-haired old minister who knelt in front of him fell on the face of a white-haired old minister, who did not move on his face, picked up the song, took a few steps on his knees, and put it on the table, and then hung down a white-haired head, allowing the Emperor of the Apocalypse to vent his anger.

Tianqi, who scolded angrily for a while, vented a lot of stuffiness in his chest, sat down, looked at the white-haired old minister kneeling in front of the emperor, and couldn't help but apologize, "Shoufu, I'm unhappy, I've wronged you, come on, sit down!" The frightened chamberlain quickly moved the brocade stool and rested it in front of the white-haired old minister.

This white-haired old minister is the head of the Great Chu Dynasty, Chen Xiyan. He was also the teacher of Emperor Qi when he was still the crown prince today, and the official worshiped the prince Taibao, ranked as the first assistant, and was the confidant of today's son.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xiyan struggled to get up from the ground, straightened his robe, and sat down sideways on the brocade stool. The Apocalypse has been in power for ten years, and he has also been the first assistant for six years, these six years, it can be described as a difficult step, the Great Chu court has long ceased to be powerful, there are barbarian tribes every year of nuisance, there are major families inside to control the government, the power in the hands of the emperor is very restricted, many decrees will disappear as soon as Luoyang comes out, and they cannot be implemented at all, Chen Xiyan trembled, barely relying on his prestige among the world's scholars to support the government and maintain the majesty of the royal family, but if he wants to restrict the rampant family, he is not enough. Seeing that Da Chu is not as good as a year, he is worried in his heart, but he is helpless, and under the exhaustion, his body and bones are not as good as day by day.

"Your Majesty is angry, this excerpt is Xiao Haoran, the Duke of Qi, Li Huaiyuan, the Duke of Anguo, and the second minister Fang Zhong jointly played, and it is impossible for Your Majesty to stay in the middle and not send it." Chen Xiyan said helplessly, the forces represented by these three people are clearly placed there, Your Majesty is not unintelligible, but just extremely angry. If you don't send it in the middle, Ming said that I'm afraid that the fold will fly up like snowflakes.

"Could it be that I will be a puppet emperor and be at their mercy? Such a big defeat still dares to ask for merit and reward, so they are not afraid of clear public opinion? The Emperor of the Apocalypse said word by word from between his teeth.

Chen Xiyan sighed, "Your Majesty said cautiously, now that this form, the three major families have formed a group, even the court cannot change it, if Your Majesty does not agree, I am afraid that other incidents will arise, so I can only follow their wishes first, and then wait for the opportunity to do it." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sneered, "Waiting for an opportunity? I'm afraid that they will taste the sweetness and be out of control. ”

Chen Xiyan shook his head: "Your Majesty, although the three major families have formed a group today, they are also full of contradictions, and now it seems that the Xiao family is the party to protect their power in Dingzhou, and the Li family is involved, but because they have a son who has made a contribution in this war, so that the Li family can bury a nail in Dingzhou, I expect that once this matter is over, the Fang Xiao family and the Li family will definitely have internal strife in Dingzhou, and then there will be an opportunity." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse silently picked up the fold, looked at it for a long time, and said, "Li Qing? When did the Li family have this person, why hadn't they heard of it before? ”

Chen Xiyan smiled slightly, "After the minister saw the folds, he ordered the staff to investigate this person, speaking of which, this matter is still a scandal of the Li family, this Li Qing is a concubine of Wei Yuanhou, but his mother is a maid in Wei Yuanhou's study." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse understood as soon as he heard it, "It must be another drunken mess, and he got interested in it." ”

Chen Xiyan said: "Exactly, Li Qingshu came out, at that time, Weiyuan Houyuan with Qiu's did not have a son-in-law, only one daughter, Qiu's jealousy was very heavy, this Li Qing's mother and son lived a miserable life in Weiyuan Houfu, only five years later, Qiu's son, is Weiyuanhou's sister-in-law Li Feng, then Li Qing's mother and son are a little better, but at home are still like slaves, Li Qing is so, his mother is even more unbearable, at the age of fifteen Li Qing ran away angrily, went to Dingzhou to serve in the army, accumulated merit and was promoted to Yunlu Captain, this time to protect the flag meritorious, and promoted to Yingyang Captain. This Wei Yuan Hou is also a family, so that this Li Qing has not yet entered the ancestral genealogy. I'm afraid that it was because of this incident that An Guo Gong knew that he still had this grandson. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but laugh, "I can't imagine that even the dignified Anguo Mansion would have such a thing." That Qiu is Lan Tinghou's daughter, how can she be such a spicy person? ”

Chen Xiyan smiled, "Lan Tinghou has no children, only this one daughter, so she is naturally spoiled, alas, every family has a book of chaotic reading!" ”

Emperor Tianqi was indignant in his heart, and the Li family also participated in this forced palace, and when he heard the scandal in the Anguo Mansion, he couldn't help but be happy, "Presumably Wei Yuanhou was scolded for being a bloody dog this time, but this Li Qing can be regarded as arrogant." ”

"This time this Li Qing can be said to be at the right time, a twenty-year-old general, there is no precedent in our dynasty!" Chen Xiyan shook his head and said.

Tianqi said: "As long as the three of them can fight, hehe, not to mention a general, it is a deputy general, what am I reluctant to do." Hearing this, Chen Xiyan said: "Your Majesty agrees to this recital?" ”

Apocalypse sighed: "What if you don't agree, didn't Shoufu already say it before?" Batch, batch, Shousuke, give them everything they want. With a flick of his hand, he walked to the back of the hall, and saw that although Tianqi was young but looked a little rickety, Chen Xiyan couldn't help but feel related.

Not to mention the intrigue of the capital Luoyang, a chicken and dog jumping, at this time Dingzhou finally restored calm, after the barbarians ransacked the counties under Dingzhou, but did not attack the well-defended Dingzhou City, tens of thousands of cavalry in Dingzhou City after showing off their might, and went away, the fifth day of October in the tenth year of the Apocalypse, under the eyes of the Dingzhou army at night, set fire to Dingyuan, Weiyuan, Zhenyuan, Fuyuan four forts, out of the customs and gone.

The clouds of war hanging over Dingzhou finally dissipated, and hundreds of thousands of refugees gathered in Dingzhou also began to return to their hometowns one after another under the arrangements of the state capital.

But the Zhizhou government and the military government are getting more and more busy, but not to mention that the entire Dingzhou has been robbed, countless refugees need to be resettled, and food needs to be distributed for winter, otherwise it is not a joke to starve to death or cause a wave of refugees, and the Dingzhou army is going to two of the three, and reorganizing is also a top priority, fortunately, there are a lot of broken doors and destroyed homes now, countless young and strong people have to sign up for the army in order to have a bite to eat, the soldiers are not worried, but weapons, war horses, etc. are extremely difficult to raise, and these people want to form combat power, it is not an overnight thing, when I think of these things, Xiao Yuanshan hated Ma Mingfeng so much. But now there is something more urgent in Dingzhou, that is, the holy decree of the imperial court is finally coming down, and the result is not as expected by Shen Mingchen, but the candidate who came to read the holy decree and supervise the military in Dingzhou was unexpected.

Xiao Yuanshan, who got the news for the first time, was a little dazed, Shen Mingchen thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Dashuai, it seems that the sequelae of this matter have come, not only is the Li family coming to Dingzhou to intervene, but even the emperor is a little impatient." Let Shou Dinghou come to announce the decree, it is clear that he is supporting the Li family, so that the Li family can blatantly hammer nails in Dingzhou. ”

Xiao Yuanshan smiled and said, "At the beginning, didn't you already expect it? It's nothing, Li Huizhi always has to leave, but he has been staying in Dingzhou for a long time. ”

Shen Mingchen nodded and said, "Yes, Li Qing's appointment as the commander of the Changsheng Battalion has been decided, and then we will choose a good place for him." The two looked at each other and smiled.
