The crowd was excited.

But when did the royal affairs be decided by the courtiers? His Majesty is still in a coma, and the royal princes can still catch their breath. But up and down, Li Cong's people defected at the same time, and things went so smoothly that even Li Zhang felt a little incredible.

Then draw up an edict, send it to all states and counties to announce it to the world, and at the same time take back Li Cong's military power, and ask him to return to Beijing to ask for guilt.

"He forced me." Li Zhang thought in his heart.

He has been coveting the throne for more than ten years, and he is already feeling a little tired when he walks down on thin ice. This matter cannot be delayed any longer.

However, before the officials of the Ministry of Rites who sent the edict left the capital, the eight gates of the capital suddenly closed with a bang.

"The Nanyi army has already reached Shangzhou, and it is only a hundred miles away from the capital!"

"Close the gates, close the gates!"

The people outside the city who did not enter the city cried and screamed, and the guards at the city gate reluctantly let go of an opening, strictly checked their identities, let them in in a panic, and closed the city gate in a panic. Outside the city, the sound of snare drums could already be faintly heard.

In the afternoon, it was said that there were 100 miles, why did you get here so quickly?

Do the envoys of the two states eat? Why is it so useless?

The news flew all the way to the military department, the ritual department, and finally poured into the regent palace.

"Impossible!" Li Zhang, who was a little more relaxed for the deposed prince, rushed out of the room, and the calm and gentleness of the past disappeared.

"How is that possible?! Are Shannan Province and Huainan Province Jiedu envoys all dead people? The city defense is strong, and the iron hooves of the southern army are mighty, why can't they stop the southern army? ”

"Lord Wang!" The military officials who came to report trembled: "It's too late to say this, let's think about how to defend the capital." ”

"It's not too late! The king wants to know why! Li Zhang calmed down and stared at the face of the military officer: "This king doesn't believe that in a month, his Nanyi army can break through the city. According to common sense, even if I am very strong, it will not have to be half a year.

The military officer looked up at Li Zhang cautiously, and finally took out a white piece of paper from his chest. It was half of a concession paper, and it was stained with blood.

"More than 20 states in the south have received such documents, and on them, there is the seal of the regent palace. The officers and soldiers of the state government did not know why, so they released 200,000 soldiers and horses from Nanyi all the way north. ”

In the shocked gaze of the regent, the voice of the official of the military department trembled: "The soldiers and horses of Nanyi were not burned and killed along the way, nor did they have any conflicts with our officers and soldiers, the countryside was not destroyed, and the people were not shocked, but when they arrived at the outskirts of the capital, they began to besiege the city and beat drums and shout." They said that they would divide the world with Dahong, if not, they would besiege the capital and cut off the grain and grass, and eat each other. ”

Li Zhang saw the seal on the document, and it was clear that it was the seal of the Regent's Palace.

Over the years, he has been in contact with officials in the southern state capitals, and if they saw this seal, they would probably speculate that Li Zhang was going to depose the crown prince by external force.

In the final analysis, it is all the reason for the partisanship.

Now, even if those state capitals react, it will take time to get to the capital. The Nanyi army can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the state capitals, and they go deep into the hinterland of Dahong, which is absolutely difficult to exterminate.

Li Zhang sat on the ground dejectedly, and only remembered something for a while, and turned around and was cold.

"Zhang Shuo, where is Zhang Shuo?"

"Back to the prince, Zhang Shuo went back to his house early in the morning."

"Go and pass him over," Li Zhang said, "No, this king will go in person!" ”

Zhang Shuo's house was empty, and even the cook was sent away by him.

"How can this be ......"

The answer to Li Zhang was an echo of nothingness.
