"What are you thinking? Are you hurt?" Wei Qing blinked.

"Nope." Shen Yunfan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, prepare to convene hundreds of civil and military officials, and go to the morning court in an hour."

"Okay." Wei Qing nodded.

The current Shen Yunfan is the backbone of her, the emperor. At this time, she may not have noticed that she has become more dependent on Shen Yunfan.

After this night, the entire capital can be described as a hundred ruins waiting to be rebuilt.

An hour later, the sun rises.

At that time, all the civil and military officials were summoned. One by one, they cringed, clearly frightened by the events of last night.

And Cao Zhi and Li Cheng outside the city, as well as several commanders of the Praetorian Guard and the Imperial Forest Army, also entered the palace.

"Where to start?" Wei Qing asked in a low voice.

Shen Yunfan, who was beside him, whispered, "Ask about the battle situation first."

Wei Qing nodded, and then asked, "Cao Shizi, how was the battle situation last night?"

Cao Zhi pursed his lips and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"The minister is guilty!"

This scene frightened everyone.

"Cao Shizi has a meritorious role in pacifying the anti-thieves, how can he be guilty?"

Cao Zhi knelt on the ground with a bitter expression.

"The 20,000 Imperial Forest Army fought a decisive battle against 10,000 enemy troops, and finally killed 7,000 enemies, losing 12,000 themselves. Such casualties are a grave crime of the first degree, and I beg your majesty to punish them!" Cao Zhi sighed.

The Cao family and the Imperial Forest Army are inextricably linked, so among the dead last night, many people Cao Zhi knew.

Some were even his cousins, uncles, and uncles.

So with such a big casualty, he is the one who blames himself the most.

Shen Yunfan sighed and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Forest Army is average, and Cao Shizi is temporarily in command, according to the minister, it is not his fault. I hope that Your Majesty, the rewards and punishments will be clear."

"I see." Wei Qing pondered for a moment before saying, "I cherish the memory of Cao Shilang, plus Cao Shizi*** meritorious service, and reward a thousand taels of silver. From now on, Cao Zhi succeeded to the position of the squire of the Ministry of War. As for the casualties, I hope that Cao Shizi will be more diligent in the future and learn more about the art of war."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Zhi kowtowed, "However, the minister has another request."

"Say."

"The minister knows that his ability is insufficient, so please ask Your Majesty to elect a military secretary to oversee military affairs. Minister, I will assist you well." Cao Zhi said seriously.

When the civil and military officials heard this, their expressions were stunned.

"This fool, isn't it good to control the military power yourself? Do you want to give up power?" Xu Kailin muttered in his heart.

Of course, there are also many old ministers who appreciate Cao Zhi very much.

"It seems that this Cao Gongzi is different from his father."

"In Cao Gongzi's heart, there really is the Southern Wei Dynasty!"

Wei Qing muttered, "Then, is there a candidate for Zhong Aiqing?"

After saying this, Cao Zhi and the eyes of the generals of the Praetorian Guard all looked at Shen Yunfan.

Last night's incident, but Shen Yunfan turned the tide.

Li Cheng told him about the disaster relief materials he sent to Chuzhou, and said seriously: "Shen Shizi is loyal to the country and the monarch, and he personally relieved the siege of the Imperial Forest Army last night, and he will definitely be qualified for the post of secretary of the military department."

"However, the secretary of the military department should be good at the art of military war." Xu Kailin said coldly.

Obviously, he didn't want Shen Yunfan to hold too much power.

But at this time, Niu Yi stood up again and said solemnly: "A few days ago, Shen Shizi personally led the Praetorian Guards to meet the remnants of Zheng Guo, of course he has the talent of military art!"

"Really?" Wei Qing raised his eyebrows.

"Of course, all the officers and men in the army can testify!"

At this moment, Wei Qingcai was full of surprise and thought: It turns out that I have misunderstood him all along!

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "Shen Shizi is *** meritorious, appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and resumed the position of acting prime minister."

"Hiss......" all the officials gasped.

Now, there is another super powerful minister in the Southern Wei Dynasty!

"The emperor doesn't have a long memory, and he gives so much power, isn't this the second congratulatory carrier?" Someone thought to himself.

Several generals of the Royal Forest Army were a little dissatisfied with their expressions. They don't want to have an extra hairy kid among their bosses out of thin air.

But now Shen Yunfan is in the limelight, so no one dares to persuade him.

Shen Yunfan and Cao Zhi were both promoted, and Xu Yan looked expectant at this time, waiting for a reward.

Seeing this, Shen Yunfan asked, "Xu Shizi, how is the task assigned to you last night?"

"Oh, I accidentally ran away for Liu Cheng, but then I led people to rush out, and I also killed a lot of people who carried He, and the credit should be a lot ......" Xu Yan was halfway through his words, and he felt that someone next to him was poking him.

Turning his head, Xu Kailin poked him, and said with a serious expression, "Don't say it, quickly admit your mistake!"

"I've done a great job, what do I mistake?" Xu Yan was puzzled.

At this time, he hadn't noticed that Shen Yunfan's face was as gloomy as water.

"You can't complete such a simple task?" Shen Yunfan clenched his fists angrily.

"Then Liu Cheng ran away, is it necessary to make such a big move?" Xu Yan didn't care.

"Someone, let me put him in the capital prison and let him sober up for a few days!" Shen Yunfan got up angrily.

The Praetorian Guards immediately rushed in, and Xu Yan said in a panic: "Shen Yunfan, you are a personal vendetta of the communiqué, why are you arresting me!?"

"Shut up!" Xu Kailin slapped him, then knelt on the ground, and shouted, "Your Majesty, you are a minister who has no way to teach, please punish Your Majesty lightly!"

"Father, what did I do wrong?" Xu Yan glared.

"Fool! Do you really think Liu Cheng is a lost dog? Don't forget, his biggest reliance is the King of Beishan, once he escapes to Chuzhou, there will be endless troubles!" Xu Kailin scolded.

The civil and military officials all sighed when they heard this, and Shen Yunfan also said helplessly: "The thief Liu Cheng is already dead, if he escapes to the King of Beishan, he will only be even more unscrupulous. This is a big curse for the Southern Wei Dynasty!"

The king of Beishan is brave and unscrupulous, but once he has the help of Liu Cheng, an old fox, he is like a tiger with wings.

Xu Yan was dumbfounded at this moment, he didn't take the task given by Shen Yunfan seriously last night, but took people out to kill people, so he let Liu Cheng go.

Unexpectedly, he made such a big mistake!

For a while, he could no longer defend himself, so he could only be taken away. Xu Kailin also knew that his son deserved it, so he didn't dare to speak out.

Shen Yunfan was a little worried, things were going well last night, and it should have ended perfectly.

But I didn't expect that the simplest part went wrong, and it was Liu Cheng who took advantage of the chaos to run. Now that the night has passed, Liu Cheng is afraid that he has long since disappeared. A bunch of remnants of the capital were defeated, and there was no way to chase them.

Moreover, Liu Cheng's biggest threat is that he knows the details of Shen Yunfan, a fugitive.

In case he sent someone to Zhao Guo to spread the news, I am afraid that there will be constant trouble!

"Well, I ran away with such a guy." Shen Yunfan sighed helplessly, now, he can only take one step at a time.
