Ji Hu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly: "In the end, I am still too few good generals in Da Zhou, let me think about this matter again!"

"No!" Zhao Bohu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the early morning of the next day, the book of the Son of Heaven was issued to the official offices at all levels and posted two capitals and four gates. With the sound of the chariot of the messenger, and with the gallop of the fast horse, the court and the opposition of the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately rushed to tell each other. The south gate of Luoyi is the mouth of the merchant traveler, and today it is even more lively, the merchant traveler is stationed in the carriage and horse, and the pedestrians gather to look forward to it, all listening to the red-clothed scribe on the high platform chanting the king's book loudly over and over again.

"The special book of the king of the Great Zhou: This time, the king army defeated Huaishui, and the government and the opposition are unbelievable. After detailed investigation and public discussion, the defeat was not only the mistake of the battlefield, but also the loss of the temple, and all kinds of entanglements involved a wide range.

At this time, the law can be clarified without killing, and the country can be strengthened without severe punishment. Only when the ministers of the temple and the shogunate shared the faults, so that everyone involved did not shirk the responsibility for the defeat of the war, could they caution those who came after them and make the whole country unified. Only in this way, this king follows the example of his ancestors and disposes of this defeat as left:

The prime minister summoned Mu Gonghu to lead the country's political planning, demoted the lord to two levels and seized all his fiefs in Chengzhou.

Yaxiang Rongyi did not observe the Eyi Alliance, cut the knight, and deposed him as a royal city official.

Cheng Zhou's commander Yu Zhong's military order was lost, and he was fined for three years.

The deputy marshal Chongli guarded the old battalion meritoriously, and did not reward or punish, and retained Cheng Zhou Eighth Division as a temporary director.

The tenth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Hu, this book."

In this way, the people of the country heard all kinds of flavors, and they were stunned for a while, and they all talked about it in a chaotic manner.

Those who are stunned, Zhao Bohu and Rong Yi are the most severely punished. It is clearly a defeat on the battlefield, and it is a general who is not subject to the orders of the monarch abroad, even if the prime minister is involved in the military, how can he intervene in the commander's right to decide, why should he demote the lord and seize the land? The worst thing is that Yaxiang Rongyi, even if he didn't know about Eyi's plan in advance, he didn't follow the orders of the diplomatic relations, why did he go from the deputy minister to the royal city official?

All kinds of discussions flowed like gurgling water in the royal city of the official office, and the deadlock was naturally broken.

Yu Zhong and other generals were so ashamed that they gathered to sign a letter to King Zhou on the day of pardon: they asked to be demoted to a pawn to serve the territory, and then they avenified the grievances of the two prime ministers, and asked for the restoration of the two prime ministers' titles and fiefs. Before the book was completed, Zhao Bohu rushed to the mansion of General Yu Luoyi. Yu Zhong and the generals bowed down together, tears in their eyes, but no one spoke.

"Generals are like this, kill me!" Zhao Bohu hurriedly helped Yu Zhong up, and his tone and face were unusually worried: "I heard that the generals proposed to submit a letter, but the truth?"

"It's not a sin to summon the prime minister to suffer this, and if I don't speak, where is the conscience?"

"The two are too wronged! I can't wait!" The generals spoke in unison.

"Generals," Zhao Bohu bowed deeply, straightened up and said solemnly, "I asked for a crime and pleaded my case, and Zhao Hu thanked him first. However, the law of the country is here, how can the king's order be changed overnight? What's more fundamental, if you don't look at the overall situation, you will be doing things a disservice! What's the big picture? In the reorganization of the elite army also."

Everyone was silent, and only listened quietly to Zhao Bohu and talked: "When General Yu was newly defeated and waiting for execution, the hearts of the army and the people, and the monarchs and ministers were all panicked. Why? Is it because I can't afford a defeat? No! It is the government and the opposition that have seen the overall situation - whether it is the West Sixth Division or the Chengzhou Eighth Division, our army lacks good generals! If you really ask the generals for capital crimes, who will the Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou hand over? Summoning the tiger to be willing to bear the responsibility for the crime is neither a personal friendship with General Yu, nor a benevolent and compassionate heart, but only what the political situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty needs."

Speaking of this, Zhao Bohu gasped heavily and sighed: "Providence! Originally, after defeating the class teacher, I mentioned to General Yu about cultivating reserve generals, but I didn't intend to lose the battle, but I embarrassed you at such a moment, and I am also sad......

There was silence in the courtyard, the veterans bowed their heads in shame, and Yu Zhong's face was even more flushed. After a long time, he bowed solemnly: "Prime Minister Jinshi's words, Yu Zhong is also respectful!"

"We'll be taught!" The generals spoke in unison.

Zhao Bohu also bowed solemnly, straightened his waist and said with a smile: "The disappointment is over, you should drink it for the generals." Come, bring in the Son of Heaven and give wine!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a team of waiters carried Lao Zhou's wine into the courtyard, and there were as many as twenty barrels in one word. Yu Zhong

thanked the generals in unison, waved his hand back and commanded loudly: "When the courtyard is set up for wine, you will rest when you get drunk!"

"Get drunk!" The generals who had been languishing for a long time suddenly perked up.

The straw mat case, the fat sheep flour cake, the wine debate, all kinds of emotion, the rest of the life after the catastrophe was a wine, and the generals drank upside down. In the midst of the coaxing and shouting, Zhao Bohu, who had always been dignified, was also dressed and discussed something with Yu Zhong.

"Why don't you see General Chongli?" Zhao Bohu asked casually.

"What the hell ......" Yu Zhong drank too much, and his tongue couldn't straighten when he spoke, "I must have gone to Rong Xiang...... On top of the court, it's also my fault, climbing and biting indiscriminately, making ......" He shook his head: "Don't say it, don't say it, Chongli apologized to his master for me......

In a courtyard of the Luojing Guanyi, Rong Yi and Chongli sat opposite the stone case, but the wine and food on the case were not touched much.

"Master," Chong Li threw down the wine slur, very indignant, "Zhaozi Mu Qiren is a smiling tiger at all. This time, he was just demoted to an uncle, and he took away the fiefdom of Chengzhou, but he bought the hearts of all the soldiers and curryed favor with the people of Chengzhou, and he really got a good reputation, but what about you, Master? All the lords were cleaned up, and even the official body was gone, and he became an official. I'm really angry, who can know Master's grievances? Who can see it?"

Rong Yi slowly raised the bronze wine lord and said lightly, "Do others know what's the matter? If only the king knew."

Chong Li raised his eyebrows: "Master is saying that the king will understand Master's hardships and grievances, and will soon reactivate Master?"

"The future is unknown, we can only do our best and know the destiny of heaven." Rong Yi raised his neck and drank all the wine in Juezhong, and glanced at the apprentice's red and angry face: "For now, I can only be calm and wait for the opportunity. I heard that the king had thought of Diaokui Duoyou to come to Cheng Zhou's Eighth Division, but he was rejected by his son. At present, the king is newly defeated, and you are not rewarded or punished, different from others, and you must pay more attention to your behavior. If you want to take charge of the border army, you can only wait for another day, and you can't rush it."

"Disciples obey the master's orders." Chongli bowed: "I heard that Zhaozi Mu Jianyan asked General Yu Zhong to stay in office, and the Son of Heaven seems to be dissatisfied. Does Master have a plan?"

"There is no need to think about this matter, the king will definitely summon the Marquis of Wei and temporarily take the position of the eighth division of Cheng Zhou. There will be a battle to the death between the Great Zhou and the Hubei Kingdom, are you still afraid of being useless?"

"Thank you, Master, for your plan." Chongli's face was happy.

Sure enough, after ten days, Wang Shu issued: Wei Hou and the rescue driver have meritorious, promoted to the duke, and temporarily replaced the position of the eighth division of Cheng Zhou, and the position of false commander is handled by Chong Li. Yu Zhong was demoted to a general and sent to the West Sixth Division for use.

The defeat of Da Qingze has been temporarily revealed, but in Ji Hu's heart, it means the beginning of another big drama: it's time to put the destruction of Hubei on the agenda. The first is to clean up the ears and eyes of Eyufang around him, and he secretly made up his mind.

The difference between this eastern tour and the past is that he deliberately brought Li Yao with him. Although the itinerary was in a hurry, he did not follow him south to Rushui, but stayed in Luoyi Palace, but after all, he was on patrol with him. In the eyes of others, it was King Zhou's favor for the second concubine, and only he knew it himself, in order to paralyze the use of the second concubine. Now that the two sides have torn their faces, there is no need for this second concubine to exist.

In the blink of an eye, the wax moon fluttered, and the soft snow like goose feathers was blowing one after another, wrapping Luojing City in a crystal white snow. However, in front of the majestic hall of the royal palace, there was a slender figure kneeling in the open space in front of the field, against the background of heavy snowfall, which looked even more pitiful.

"Great King, the concubine's father is against the ethics of the monarch and the minister, and intends to assassinate the king. The concubine is willing to accept the punishment on behalf of her father, and I hope that the king will forgive you one or two!"

Li Yao's voice passed through the layers of window lattices of the main hall into the back bed, and Ji Hu was disturbed for a while, and waved his hand violently, and the inner attendant Qi Zhong hurriedly came forward to listen: "What does the king command?"

"Why is she here again? How did you do this?" Ji Hu was very displeased when he opened his mouth.

"My king forgives her sins," Qi Zhong hurriedly bowed, "The king originally ordered her not to enter the palace, and the servants and others did persuade the concubine to return. Unexpectedly, she knelt on the sidelines, and said that it was snowing heavily today, but she didn't expect that she would still come to take off the hairpin and treat the crime. It was the negligence of the minions, and the minions went out to persuade the mother to return to the palace, so that the king would not be upset by listening to it."

"Little Qizi,

Ji Hu paused for the bamboo slip in his hand and resolutely ordered, "Order, the second concubine will be grounded in the palace from now on, and she will not be allowed to go out without a call."

"No!"

Qi Zhong came out in response, and after a while, a woman's low crying voice faintly came from the front of the hall...... After a little more waiting, there was no more sound, and the dormitory was so quiet that you could hear the sound of snow falling on the roof, and occasionally the hum or two of the baby in Bergie's arms could be heard.

Ji Hu sighed imperceptibly, Bo Ji, who was sitting in front of the Ding furnace, was keenly aware of the change in his brother's mood, handed over the baby in his arms to the nurse to breastfeed, and he gently walked to Ji Hu's case, and said softly: "Brother Wang, why bother, not only pity the second concubine, but why avoid it? After all, it was her father who did the evil and had nothing to do with her!"

Ji Hu smiled bitterly: "Sister Wang, do you remember what the first king said when he was alive? The woman around the Son of Heaven, which one is not involved in the power of the princes? The love of the Son of Heaven does not belong to himself, but to the world this week. Although Concubine E is innocent, having her alone for a day is a trace of bondage that binds lonely hands and feet. E and Zhou, E Yufang himself and Gu, have reached the point where they are incompatible, she ...... I can't stay alone!".

"Brother Wang," Bo Ji only felt a chill rise up his spine, "Brother Wang, don't you want to ...... Kill her?" No way?
