"Next, we can only try to save General Huo's life first, and it's time to let the people in the capital know about this matter." Shen Zhao said in a slightly cold voice.

I hope to use the pressure of public opinion to make Chu Xuanjin have a little brain, and don't listen to Zuo Ye for everything.

And, judging from the previous battles with Yanbei, Yanbei always seems to lose very easily.

There seems to be a lot of problems in this.

Yanbei seems to be digging a bigger pit.

At this time, General Huo is not there again, just Liu Beichuan is such a brainless thing, and next, I am afraid that it will be troublesome.

Shen Zhao asked people to deliberately spread the matter of the border pass, and at the same time revealed his strangeness about Yanbei's several consecutive defeats to some generals in the court "unintentionally".

If some words are spoken by him, the effect will only be counterproductive, and you need to borrow the mouth of someone else.

Sheng Qingyuan unconditionally supported Shen Zhao's decision, and at the same time was the best helper to help spread these words.

Whether it is Tianxianglou or Yixintang, this is a place with a very dense flow of people, as long as a sentence or two is passed out casually, it can soon spread all over the capital.

Zuo Ye, who was originally happy that he could finally pull General Huo off the horse, had to have a little more scruples after hearing these remarks in the market.

Chu Xuanjin even heard the remarks of the market and the "speculations" of other generals clearly.

"Your Majesty, Old General Huo may be wrong, but now is the time to employ people, Old General Huo is experienced and is the best candidate to meet the enemy."

"Yanbei was very powerful before, but except for the first battle led by General Liu, we lost miserably, and we won the next few battles, but we won too smoothly, so maybe it was a calculation of Yanbei."

Zuo Ye said unhurriedly, "You say that it is Yanbei's calculation, so it can't be a calculation of Yanbei and General Huo?"

General Chang asked Zuo Ye in a cold voice, "What do you mean by this?"

Zuo Ye smiled lightly, and said with a bit of mockery, "Isn't this obvious?"

Villain!

General Chang couldn't help but curse in his heart, and then hurriedly said to Chu Xuanjin, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible for General Huo to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country!"

"General Chang, I didn't say anything, you don't need to be so excited? Did I really guess correctly?" Zuo Ye said with a smile.

Shameless!

General Chang scolded Zuo Ye again in his heart, and said to Chu Xuanjin again, "Your Majesty, General Huo ...... him."

"That's enough, what the hell is it, just interrogate them properly after they are escorted into Beijing." Chu Xuanjin waved his hand impatiently and said.

General Chang continued: "Your Majesty, Old General Huo has been fighting horses for half his life, and there are many wounds on his body, and many men of the Huo family have also died on the battlefield, so it will become the current population withered, and the Huo family's loyalty to the imperial court can be seen by the sun and the moon!"

Seeing that General Chang was going to continue, Chu Xuanjin said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I'm not blind, my brain is fine, whether I'm really loyal to me or not, I know in my heart."

As he spoke, Chu Xuanjin squinted his eyes slightly at everyone and asked, "Do you think I am the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong?"

Everyone hurriedly said, "Don't dare." Look at the book

Chu Xuanjin snorted heavily, "It's best if you don't dare!" Otherwise, I would have thought that you would still be my lord!"

After speaking, Chu Xuanjin threw up his sleeves and left with dissatisfaction.

After Chu Xuanjin left, Zuo Ye looked at everyone with smugness on his face: "You guys are concerned about General Huo, I can understand it, but everyone also has to think about your family."

"What do you mean?"

Zuo Ye bent the corners of his lips slightly, and said lightly: "You have made generous statements for others, if you anger Your Majesty because of this, you can not care if you are degraded or punished, but what about your family?"

Everyone understood the threat in Zuo Ye's words, and their faces were ugly one by one.

Seeing their ugly faces, Zuo Ye's heart was happy, he chuckled lightly, and strode away.

It's just that Zuo Ye just went out of the door, and he was so frightened by a carriage that suddenly rushed out that he couldn't help but retreat again and again, and the last one was unstable and fell heavily on the ground.

Zuo Ye's people hurriedly helped him up, and at the same time pointed to the carriage that suddenly rushed out in front of him and scolded angrily, "You don't have long eyes? How dare you rush into Master Taishi?! Look for death, you guys!!"

As soon as the scolding voice fell, a breezy voice came from inside: "Master Taishi is really embarrassed, this horse has just been bought, and it has only been tamed for a long time, sometimes when I see some annoying people or something, I can't help but be impulsive, and I ask Master Taishi to forgive me."

Zuo Ye looked at Shen Zhao who got off the carriage, his face was pale, "I don't know what His Royal Highness King Jing means?"

Shen Zhao smiled faintly and said, "It's not interesting, this king has seen that all the adults have been anxious and busy for so many days for the affairs of the border gates, and this king, an idler, can't help much, so I can only send a few words of encouragement to you."

Zuo Ye listened to Shen Zhao's words and sneered, "Isn't His Royal Highness King Jing helping others to get angry? If I hadn't dodged in time, I'm afraid I would have died under the hooves of His Royal Highness King Jing's horse at this time, right?"

Shen Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Master Taishi's words are not right, although this horse is difficult to tame, but he has been tamed in the end, he is occasionally angry, but after all, he still can't escape the control of the reins, Taishi is so important to Da Zhou, how can this king let Taishi die under the horse's hooves?"

Zuo Ye said in a cold voice and with a bit of sarcasm: "This time the prince returned to the capital, his temperament has changed a little compared to back then, and I really can't figure it out."

"The human heart is the most complicated thing, if the master wants to understand everyone's human heart thoroughly, then wouldn't he be tired to death?" Shen Zhao asked with a faint smile.

Zuo Ye raised his lips slightly and said, "Thanks to the prince's blessing, I thought I could live for a few more years."

"That's good, that's good, after all, our Great Zhou can't do without a humeral minister like Master Taishi." Shen Zhao said with a smile.

Then he gently flicked his sleeves and said, "Okay, this king should be tired when he looks at the Taishi, so this king will not disturb the Taishi to recover."

After a pause, he said, "After all, when you get older, if you don't pay attention to rest and maintenance, it won't be good."

The smile on the corner of Zuo Ye's lips was a little cold, "Lord Lao is worried, and so is Lord Lao, so can you rest more if you have nothing to do on weekdays, and take care of some things that you don't need to worry about, so that you can live a long life."

"Teachable, taught." Shen Zhao chuckled.

Zuo Ye turned around and left with a cold face, and got into his own carriage.

The smile on Shen Zhao's face also subsided a little, and he calmly returned to his carriage.

As soon as he got into the carriage, he saw Sheng Qingyuan's somewhat worried face, and asked her, "Did the horse scare you when it was frightened just now?"

"It's nothing, it's fine." Sheng Qingyuan said softly.

This is nothing compared to when I was on the horse farm.

Her face was not good-looking, and she was not frightened because of this, so she asked Shen Zhao worriedly, "Would it be bad for you to provoke Zuo Ye so directly?"

Shen Zhao gently held her hand and said to her, "Even if we keep putting up with it, they won't let us go sooner or later. And, after the Assassins of the Painted Boat, they now know that our strength is much greater than they expected."

Shen Zhao patted her hand lightly and said, "Since it is destined to be guarded against by them, then I will simply pick out the words a little more clearly. I want them to know that we in King Jing's Mansion are not vegetarians, let alone think about attacking our people."

"Already?" Sheng Qingyuan understood what Shen Zhao meant and asked.

"Almost." Shen Zhao gave her a reassuring smile.

"Since you think it's okay, then it's okay, I trust you." Sheng Qingyuan said, and then said, "Don't worry, I have already prepared all the medicines that should be prepared."

"If a wife is like this, what more can a husband ask for?" Shen Zhao hugged Sheng Qingyuan into his arms and said contentedly.

Over the next few days, the North began to lose in a row.

Chu Xuanjin originally wanted to take advantage of this time to execute Old General Huo, but looking at the situation in the north, Chu Xuanjin had to reconsider what the previous generals said.

If this is really a trap set by Yanbei, if those individuals really can't cope with it, maybe they will have to let the Huo family out in the end.

As a result, the disposition of General Huo Lao was suspended, and although he was imprisoned, the treatment was much better than before.

These days, while talking about General Huo's grievances, some people have also mentioned the Zhenguo Mansion that has not been mentioned for a long time.

"What happened to General Huo today reminds me of the former Zhenguo Mansion."

"Shhhh

"What if you say that? If you really didn't do anything wrong and didn't wronged anyone, then why be afraid of what others say?"

"Isn't it? At the beginning, I said that the Zhenguo Mansion collaborated with the enemy and treason, but I didn't believe it when I was killed, just like this time I also said that General Huo Lao collaborated with the enemy and treason? Isn't that nonsense?!"

"What kind of bullshit collaborating with the enemy and treason? Whether it is the Zhenguo Mansion or the General Huo Mansion, it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing!"

"What's the use of knowing in our hearts? To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than the one above who is worried about their high merits."

"If you are really a Ming Monarch, how can you worry that you will be crowned with high merit."

"Shhh You're really deadly when you say that?!"

"Now that the north has lost a series of battles, if it goes on like this, maybe when it will come to the capital, let's talk about this at this time, in this case, what can it be?"

Hearing this, the people around couldn't help but feel very melancholy.

No one likes to fight.

Now that they are losing in the Great Zhou, this news makes people feel even more uncomfortable when they hear it.

Regarding the words of the Zhenguo Mansion, the people still don't dare to say too much.

However, at this time, the memories of the Zhenguo Mansion's defense of the Great Zhou for many years have been revived in the hearts of the people, and those memories of the past are slowly becoming clear.

This time, Yanbei's offensive was very sufficient, and in two days, it had successfully taken the North Back Pass.

This is the city at the junction of Yanbei and the north of Dazhou, and it is also a very important city.

Once the North Pass is taken, once there is no strong resistance in the back, then the Yanbei army will reach the capital of the Great Zhou, which is just around the corner.

Hearing the news that Beihui Pass was taken, Chu Xuanjin was also stupid.

Doesn't this mean that the odds are eighty percent?

How, how can you lose? And lose so badly?

If, if you continue to lose, then, will Da Zhou still be able to keep it?

Can he continue to sit on the throne?
