The capital of Shengguo, the name is Shengjing.

Shengguo is the richest in the southeastern continent, and Shengjing is also the most prosperous city, which is better than Mudu and Yunjing.

In the midst of Shengjing, less than a mile away from the imperial city, there is a three-story building painted with black paint throughout, and there is no weeds around it, which is solemn and solemn. Even the animals carved on the cornices are all kinds of fierce beasts.

In front of the inky gate, there was a pair of stone lions, not the ordinary kind of simple and cute town house lions, but with their bloody mouths open to pounce, ready to come out, and their ferocity was revealed.

A plaque hangs on the door: Military Department.

That's right, this is the Military Department of the Sheng Kingdom, the highest military decision-making body in Dasheng, presided over by Han Jun, the king of Chi.

This King Chi, who is of the same status as Zhou Shikai, is not like King Ming, who relied on the blessing of his ancestors to occupy a high position, but climbed to this point purely by virtue of his own ability. He is only in his early forties, and he is at the peak of his Spring and Autumn period.

It can be said that above the Shengguo court, except for the emperor, he doesn't take anyone in his eyes. If you have to find the second person, that is, Zai Fu Du Chong, he can barely be on an equal footing with him.

Han Jun has been dissolute for half his life, and most of his time on weekdays is spent in the Qinglou, although he is in charge of the military department, he doesn't care about daily affairs. Unless there is something big, he will show his face.

The top floor of the military headquarters, the highest level of the parliament hall.

This was the first time in a few months since the Battle of the River Drum Road was hastily concluded, and the King of Chi appeared at the military and political meeting.

In the council hall, there was silence, everyone looked down at the file in front of them, and no one dared to raise their heads.

Han Jun was in a bad mood, and no one dared to touch his moldy head.

In front of the participants, there were piles of various cases, all of which were about the war in the east.

Sitting in front of the king of the highest position, there were also two files, and after he glanced at them a few times, he threw them aside.

One is a post-war analysis of the previous Battle of the River Drum Road, which does not describe too many skirmishes, but devotes a lot of pen and ink to the analysis of why the battle ended hastily. This rather thick dossier is signed by Gu Qingshan, the general of Zhendong.

This was secretly reported to the imperial court military department some time before Gu Qingshan's assassination, and now it was finally placed in front of Han Jun.

The words on it were sharp, and Gu Qingshan's dissatisfaction and suspicion of King Ming were unceremoniously written, and he thought that the hasty end of that battle was definitely not because of some bullshit reason that the grain road was intercepted.

At the end of the dossier, he clearly, affirmatively, and directly pointed out that Zhou Shikai gave up the battle because of King Xiao Ming, and it is very likely that Zhou Yan was not dead, but was captured alive.

Gu Qingshan's accusation is extremely severe, he is clearly accusing Zhou Shikai, one of the three one-word kings of Shengguo, of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

If this case is made public, not to mention the bad impact for the time being, it will inevitably cause extremely serious consequences, and may even cause the separation of the eastern border from the imperial court.

Therefore, the file handed over by Gu Qingshan has been pressed in the military department and has not been handled.

However, due to Han Jun's second case file on the table now, he had to take out Gu Qingshan's previous accusations against Zhou Shikai.

This second dossier is the briefing on Gu Qingshan's assassination, as well as the detailed report that has just been delivered, which was personally signed by Zhou Shikai, the king of the Ming Dynasty.

In this file of 800 miles of expedited submission to the military department, Zhou Shikai directly characterized the assassination of Gu Qingshan as the work of Liang Jun.

There are three main culprits, Chu He, the director of the Liangzhou Military Strategy Division, Xu Conghu, the commander of the Baihu Battalion, and Di Yansheng, the commander of the Baiyu Battalion.

Moreover, Zhou Shikai also wrote clearly the heads of Gu and Si floating in the wind on the main gate of Dachong Pass, which undoubtedly confirmed that this matter was the handiwork of Liang Jun.

Han Jun sat on the high seat expressionlessly, and even the subordinates who had followed him for the longest time could not read anything from his face.

In fact, Gu Qingshan's life and death, he didn't care very much, when the imperial court sent him to the eastern border, Han Jun knew that this loyal and brave minister would have to be killed by Zhou Shikai sooner or later.

What he cares about is Si Tao's death.

If a capable minister dies, then cultivate and promote another one. But the death of a loyal Nine Realms martial artist, the blow to the military of Sheng Guo is immeasurable and irreparable.

Han Jun finally moved his body, and then slowly spoke, "Tell me your opinion." ”

The high-ranking officials of the military department in the hall suddenly became nervous, and none of them dared to speak first, for fear that if they said something wrong, they would displease the king of Chi.

"Tell me what you think."

Han Jun said it again, his tone did not change in the slightest, but the officials below became nervous one by one.

The sentence was repeated twice, and they knew that this was a sign that the prince was very unhappy. So the crowd began to speak their mouths and express their opinions.

"Revenge must be taken! The cool thief's move is to treat me as a great person! ”

"That's right! Poor General Gu was so wise that he died at the hands of this group of small people! ”

"We should send an order to the Eastern Frontier Army to start mobilizing the whole army again and prepare for a new round of battle!"

"In my opinion, we should also formulate an assassination plan, Chu He and Xu Conghu, which of these two people is a big profit!"

The more these people chattered, the more excited they became, as if they were about to roll up their arms and sleeves and go to the east to slash the enemy.

But after talking for a long time, none of these military adults dared to mention Wang Zhou Shikai.

Everyone knows that this time Gu Qingshan and Si Tao had an accident, whether it was the time or place of the assassination, it was too strange.

How would the Qianguo people know that they were going hunting? How did you quietly sneak into the hunting ground with hundreds of people? If these things are investigated deeply, King Ming will undoubtedly not be able to get rid of suspicion.

But who would dare to mention it? No one dared to mention it!

Although they all knew that the prince was extremely disgusted with the Ming prince, how could they interfere in the affairs between the princes?

God knows which of these people here is the one of the Ming King? If you say a few bad things about people here, and finally reach Zhou Shikai's ears, it is possible that the sky lantern will be lit.

No one dared to risk offending Zhou Shikai to curry favor with Han Jun. After all, the cruel Lord Ming Wang is a well-known small-bellied chicken intestine, and he will be revenged.

Han Jun's eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to say something when a small official pushed open the closed door and trotted in.

It stands to reason that a military-political meeting at this level cannot be disturbed unless there is anything particularly important.

The little official was covered in sweat and ran in front of Han Jun.

"What's wrong?"

"Wang ...... Lord Wang, Lord Zaifu is here. ”

Han Jun raised his eyebrows, "Du Chong? ”

"It's Du Xiang."
