Great Wei Palace, Tai'an Palace.

"Rebel, rebel!"

"Li Xingchen, this rebel, is really bold, he dared to openly raise troops to resist Lu Ben's Wuzhou army, and his methods were extremely cruel and vicious, using the method of diversion of water to wipe out Lu Ben's 5,000 troops!"

"What the hell does this rebel want to do? Is it a rebellion? ”

After reading Chen Qun's recital.

The roar of Emperor Li Zhen's anger filled the Tai'an Palace.

It made the scalps of all the officials in the hall numb and frightened.

They never dreamed of it.

This time, Lu Ben led the army to Pingcheng, but instead of being captured, Li Xingchen raised troops to fight with the Wuzhou army.

With an absolute disadvantage, he killed Lu Ben's 5,000 men and horses to the annihilation.

This is undoubtedly challenging the majesty of the Great Wei Dynasty and slapping the Wei Emperor Li Zhen in the face of Chiguoguo.

What makes the civil and military officials even more puzzled is that.

Li Xingchen is no more than 3,000 people, and he can't rely on a mere Pingcheng, where did he borrow the courage to dare to rebel openly!

Is it hubris and ignorance? Or is it a fluke? Or does he really have the confidence to resist the imperial court?

These questions have sprung up in the hearts of civil and military officials, but everyone is puzzled.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Xingchen is in turmoil, and he must dispatch elite soldiers and strong generals to fight as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

Zhao Zong, the servant of the Criminal Department, walked out of the ranks of the hundred officials and gave his hand to advise.

He was followed by Lin Feng, a member of the Zhongshu House.

"Your Majesty, Li Xingchen is cruel and tyrannical, first raped and killed the daughter of Doctor Guanglu, and then killed the imperial guards in Gaoling, and now he is even more cruel to the point of slaughtering five thousand Wuzhou troops, and even Wuzhou Mu Lu Ben died tragically under his hands, such a vicious person, the world will fight for it!"

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, everyone has been punished for the chaos and thieves, not to mention that Li Xingchen has committed so many evil deeds!"

Wu Qi, the regular attendant of the right scattered cavalry, came out in response, and said with an indignant expression: "If you don't exterminate him as soon as possible, the minister is worried that my Great Wei court will not be able to rule the world, and please ask Your Majesty to investigate!" ”

"The ministers seconded it!"

A group of officials from Zhongshu Province echoed in unison.

Only the leader of the Zhongshu Province, the Zhongshu made Chen Yinglong's eyes look at the nose, the nose looked at the heart, and he was unmoved like an old monk entering the meditation.

But other officials all know that the officials of Zhongshu Province asked Li Xingchen to kill him, which already represents Chen Yinglong's attitude.

Although Chen Yinglong looked indifferent on the surface, he had already set off monstrous waves in his heart.

He thought that Li Xingchen was just a chess piece jumping out of the chess game, and no matter how he was, he couldn't make any big waves.

But now, this chess piece is not only getting better and better, but its power is gradually growing.

This is a great irony for Chen Yinglong.

After all, a prince who was framed by him was originally a mortal situation, but now this prince has revitalized this mortal situation through another method, doesn't it prove that he Chen Yinglong is old and faint? !

"I am deeply pleased that you Aiqing can be so jealous and hateful!"

Li Zhen looked around at the ministers who asked for advice, and said loudly: "But the encirclement and suppression of the sinner Li Xingchen does not need to be done by the imperial court, the king of Yan has already asked the Lingzhou guard Yuan Wanshan to lead an army of 8,000 to Pingcheng, I believe that in a few days, the sinner Li Xingchen will be escorted back to Beijing for trial!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, King Yan is wise!"

Officials from Zhongshu Province echoed in unison.

Seeing this, Qingguo Gong Chu Wei couldn't help but sigh secretly.

But the matter has come to this point, even if he wants to intercede for Li Xingchen, he can't speak.

Because under the surging sentiment of the courtiers, anyone who intercedes for Li Xingchen will be crushed to the point that there are no bones.

"Your Majesty, this morning, the Ministry of War received a request for additional troops from Chen Xuan, the guard general of Qingyun Pass!"

The military department Shangshu Wei Rong walked into the main hall and bowed his hand.

When Li Zhen heard this, his brows furrowed: "Qingyun Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Chen Xuan has 30,000 defenders and can't hold it?" ”

"Chen Xuan bluntly said in the secret letter that now the lord of the Jin Kingdom in Qingyun Pass will be the princess of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Man, and the new 100,000 troops are the elite Tianxing Army of the Jin Kingdom!"

Wei Rong's face was calm, and he said unhurriedly: "Therefore, ...... He was worried that the 30,000-strong army would not be able to stop Wan Yanman, so he asked the military department for more troops! ”

Li Zhenmu said proudly: "What if the Lord will be Wan Yanman? What about the 100,000-day march? At that time, I only led 20,000 horses, and I blocked the 300,000 army of the Jin Tartars at Qingyun Pass for two years! ”

Wei Rong said: "Your Majesty is certainly a soldier, but Chen Xuan is too young after all, seeing that the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom are powerful, and Wan Yanman is in charge, it is inevitable that he will be weak-hearted!" ”

Hear this.

Chen Yinglong frowned, and instantly understood that Wei Rong's uneasy kindness was deliberately slapping his Chen family's face.

But even so, as a Zhongshu Ling, he can't defend his nephew Chen Xuan.

After all, the festival of the first gate valve of Dawei cannot be lost.

"Chen Xuan was frightened by Wan Yan Man's prestige, my Great Wei Xiong soldiers are not those backward barbarians in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Wan Yan Man doesn't have the ability to attack if he wants to!"

Li Zhen's eyes were blazing and said: "Wei Qing, you reply to Chen Xuan to me, don't mention the matter of increasing troops again, if you can't hold Qingyun Pass, I am the only one who asks!" ”

"Obey the order!"

Wei Rong bowed down, then glanced at Chen Yinglong with a bit of playfulness, and then slowly retreated to the ranks of the hundred officials.

As the saying goes, there will be discord, and the country will be in trouble!

But Li Zhen deliberately let Wei Rong and Chen Yinglong, two important ministers, fight openly and secretly.

Chen Yinglong has been in charge of Zhongshu Province for more than 20 years, and his ambitions are slowly growing.

In recent years, he was not satisfied with leaning towards the government and the opposition, and began to infiltrate his forces into the military department.

Because of this, there were more than 30 generals from the Chen family in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Under his encouragement, his nephew Chen Xuan rose step by step in the army, and now he is a general who leads the army.

This undoubtedly moved Wei Rong's cheese, so these two Great Wei Wenwu ministers started a journey of open and secret fighting.

Li Zhen also didn't want the Chen family to dominate and threaten the imperial power, and Wei Rong had a counterbalance to check and balance, and he couldn't ask for it.

As a result, the two parties of Chen Wei appeared in the Great Wei Dynasty.

Chen Party officials are all over the government and the opposition, and the military generals of the Wei Party are evenly matched in the army.

After several years of involution, the struggle between them has also become white-hot.

For example, the Chen Party supports the Nineteenth Prince Li Kuo, while the Wei Party supports the Crown Prince Li Yu......

"Your Majesty, the old minister heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is raising a male pet in the East Palace!"

Chen Yinglong responded and said: "If you don't stop it, the old minister is worried that such an immoral thing will inevitably damage the majesty of the Great Wei royal family!" ”

If he doesn't make a move, it will be a lore.

As long as the crown prince Li Yu is overthrown, Li Kuo, the king of Yan, will be supported to ascend to the throne.

Then the Guardian Party will lose its roots, and then the tree will fall apart.

Sure enough.

When Wei Rong heard Chen Yinglong's participation, his face suddenly changed drastically.

Not for anything else, just because his younger brother Wei Jie is the Taifu of the East Palace.
