The chaotic eastern border of Bozhou shattered the carnival night of the Han Empire.

The brocade feather goshawk coming in the wind awakened the silent sorrow of the empire.

Two hours later, the sunset fell in the west, the lights in the Weiyang Palace were sparkling, the people outside the Xuanshu Hall were surging, the high cars and horses were endless, and the ever-bright lights illuminated the river and horses were brilliant, so many years, the night of the Weiyang Palace has never been as lively as tonight.

The large and small attendants who have served the king in Weiyang Palace all the year round stood solemnly outside the Xuanshu Palace, not daring to take a breath.

The Twelve Qing have all arrived, the general Tao Kan and the prime minister Lu Zheng returned to the house before they even sat on the buttocks, and they were hurriedly summoned into the palace by Ochre Hong.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!

Liu Yan, the son of heaven, rarely convened the ministers in the evening, and the last time he convened the ministers overnight, he still built the Hongqu and Feng Canal, and even sent troops to Goguryeo, and the one on the dragon chair did not let the general's mansion and the Taiwei's mansion light the lamp and boil oil, this calmness and calmness made all the courtiers deeply gratified.

And today's urgent call, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know why.

However, all the courtiers knew that something big was going to happen tonight.

Could it be that there is a catastrophe somewhere? Or has something happened in the Western Regions? Or is the Jiang family pulling the flag and standing on their own? Or which family poked some big basket? The ministers whispered, and the opinions were divided, like headless flies.

Liu Yan did not let these national pillars wait for a long time, and as soon as he was awakened by the imperial doctor's order, he met with the ministers in a haggard spirit.

The courtiers stood solemnly, waiting for the edict of the Son of Heaven.

"Ochre, read!" Liu Yan's voice was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips seemed to be oozing blood.

Ochre lowered her head, walked lightly to Liu Yan's side as if walking on thin ice, carefully unfolded the letter, and read in a trembling voice, "The eastern army was defeated, the second Liu surrendered to the enemy, the five armies were destroyed, and the living were sloppy."

After reading it, before the courtiers could react, Liu Yan lifted the table in front of him, his eyes were red, his dragon robe danced vigorously, he was furious, and shouted, "Incompetent! The crown prince was incompetent and careless to underestimate the enemy, and a small Goguryeo kingdom actually killed 150,000 of my elites. Idiot! After this war, there will be no more in the east of our country

The soldiers can go out, the door is wide open, and Daqin can go deep into the hinterland of Quzhou from here, and retreat to Goguryeo to fortify the troops. Ahhh I can't understand, 150,000 people against 100,000 people, there are countless advisors and generals under his command, how could this rebel be completely wiped out by others? Rubbish! Liu Huai is such a waste!"

All the ministers are close to each other, and they don't say anything.

In the face of absolute facts, all the princes and party in the palace invariably chose to be silent, and no one was willing to speak for the prince.

The battle in the east is related to the grand plan and hegemony of the Son of Heaven, and now that the army is defeated, this time offends Long Yan, isn't that going to the toilet with a lantern, 'looking for"!

......

As Liu Yan said, none of the courtiers thought about why this battle with a huge disparity in strength would end in a fiasco.

For a moment, the quiet pin drop in the main hall could be heard.

Liu Yan stood on the hall, Long Wei was furious, he put his left hand on his waist, pointed at Zhao Yuyuan with his right hand, and the crown on his head shook violently, "Zhao Yuyuan, you immediately draft a decree, the prince is immoral and incompetent, he is happy and incompetent, he does not follow the king's road, he plays with the country, and he has a negative society, from now on, he will depose the position of Prince Liu Huai, and he will not be allowed to enter the East Palace again in this life!"

Shaofu Zhao Yuyuan was caught off guard by this sudden change, he was still immersed in the shock of the defeat in the eastern realm, and was indifferent to Liu Yan's order, until Liu Yan angrily threw the letter on his body, and then came to his senses.

"Your Majesty is angry, the crown prince is the prince of the country, you can't act rashly, it is easy to hurt the country!" Zhao Yuyuan immediately stood up and admonished directly, and his words were sincere, "Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Zhao Yuyuan is not a party of the prince, but he chose to intercede for the prince at this time, which shows his loyalty.

"Think twice? Hmph!" Liu Yan snorted coldly and reprimanded, "A piece of jade, carved into a tool; A stubborn stone, no matter how you cultivate it, is difficult to become a big wood. Zhao Yuyuan, let me ask you, how long has the crown prince been in charge of the country? Maybe you have made achievements in government affairs? How much I chose for the crown prince

Master? Can the prince have the power of daily size? I have made up my mind, Aiqing don't want to say more, and quickly draft an edict!"

Zhao Yuyuan took a step forward and wanted to admonish, but was immediately stopped by Liu Yan's sleeves.

Liu Yan's voice was as cold as ice, "I don't remember to ask you to draft the decree later, what I said was immediately!" Right away! And whoever dares to intercede, let's kill!"

At this point, the king's order could not be disobeyed, and Zhao Yuyuan could only retreat in a hurry and go to the east room to draft an edict.

After Zhao Yuyuan left, Liu Yan secretly sulked, and His Royal Highness's courtiers looked at each other, extremely quiet.

"The anger breaks the yin, the joy falls into the sun, the atmosphere hurts the body, Your Majesty must not be angry." Tao Qiansheng Tao Kan took small steps and attended the exhortation, "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, the battle report is simple and broad, only from the battle report, the reason for our army's defeat is directly related to Liu Qin and Liu Han's defection to the enemy, other reasons are not yet known, and the truth needs to be ascertained, and the fallen soldiers and defeated generals have a justice, and also give an explanation to the fathers and elders of the eastern border."

General Tao Kan's words were gentle, although it was a consolation, but it also meant to exonerate Liu Huai.

Liu Yan is such a smart person, he naturally heard Tao Kan's voice, although he didn't notice that Tao Kan had voted for the princelings, but in anger, he said mercilessly, "Justice? Even if Er Liu was treasonous, why didn't Liu Huai detect it as soon as possible? My Han Dynasty has been in the world for 500 years, and 150,000 soldiers and horses have been wiped out, which is the first time that the country has been founded! Disgrace! This is a national shame! How can such a fool control the world?"

Tao Kan stood in the hall, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Yan looked around at the ministers and suddenly asked, "What about Taiwei Jiang?"

When all the courtiers heard this, they were stunned!

They all thought that the Son of Heaven had already known about Jiang Cang's death, but who knew that the Son of Heaven didn't know!

The ministers looked at each other, if this kind of fire is added, who should say?

"Report! Report!" A Huang Men Lang hurriedly rushed into the Xuanshu Palace, very out of shape.

Without waiting for everyone in the hall to react, Xiao Huangmen knelt in the hall and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Lord Taiwei, Lord Taiwei committed suicide in the mansion a few hours ago!"

Worse!

'Flutter", Liu Yan spit out another mouthful of thick blood, and his majestic figure like a pine collapsed on the hall, and the sound of shouting in his ears gradually approached!

In a haze, he seemed to see the Great Qin Emperor Fu Yi arrogantly throwing the horsewhip into the Yellow River, and he, Liu Yan, panicked like a lost dog, lost the fertile soil of the Central Plains, and could only settle in the south of the Yangtze River, surviving for a long time.

......

The high city is sprinkled with the moon, and it is difficult to go to the Guanhe River.

The dream of smoke harvest is stopped, and the grand wish is empty.

His Liu Yan's dream of the Northern Expedition was shattered!
