There are ten roads and twenty-eight towns in Daqian, Youzhou is the northernmost, the terrain is remote, the land is barren, and there are often disturbing the border here, which has never been valued by the imperial court.

When Wei Zihua mentioned Youzhou, the only things that could be remembered were the former prince who was demoted to Youzhou as the king of Youzhou not long ago, and Zhao Kang, the son of Zhao Yan, the chief lieutenant.

Zhao Yan's power is all over the court and outside, if Zhao Kang has news, he can pass it on directly, and he can't use a fool.

Then this person is likely to be sent by the Ghost King Li Feng.

Thinking of the mediocre and tyrannical former prince, now the King of You, Wei Zihua's brows twisted into several pimples.

Although he is the eldest son of His Majesty, if it is him who has an accident, I really don't want to report it.

Although Wei Zihua was reluctant in his heart, he still chose to enter the palace to report to His Majesty.

After passing through the end door, Wei Zihua happened to bump into Li Yuan coming out of the palace.

Li Yuan's reputation in the court is much stronger than Li Feng, he behaves dignifiedly, is a corporal with courtesy, and is a brother and a friend. At the beginning, Li Feng failed and was demoted, and the emperor originally meant to be demoted to a commoner, but Li Yuan tried his best to dissuade him, so he retained the throne.

The civil and military ministers all believed that Li Yuan was the lord of Zhongxing of the Daqian Dynasty and the future Ming monarch.

Wei Zihua didn't dare to agree with this, because he always felt that Li Yuan was scheming, so in the face of Li Yuan's kindness, he always stayed away.

"Lord Wei."

Li Yuan greeted Wei Zihua one step ahead of him, and Wei Zihua hurriedly clenched his fists: "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"At this time, if you are not in the court, Lord Wei does not need to be polite."

Wei Zihua nodded slightly, wanting to turn sideways, Li Yuan asked, "What is the matter with Lord Wei entering the palace?" ”

"Find Your Majesty."

Li Yuan reminded: "Your Majesty is resting in the Hanliang Palace. ”

After Wei Zihua thanked him, he ignored Li Yuan, entered the Hanliang Palace, and informed the emperor of the matter in Youzhou.

Not long after Emperor Li Rong arrived at Hanliang Hall to rest, he heard Wei Zihua's arrival and got up to summon him.

Li Rui was a little displeased: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, today I arrested a person from Youzhou, he said that he wanted to find Your Majesty, and when the minister wanted to interrogate, he was taken away by the Criminal Department, but the Criminal Department did not see him."

"Youzhou's? Come to me? ”

"Yes, this person is born with divine power, and his martial arts are extremely strong, but his brain is a little bad, and he killed a few guards when he came up, and was captured by the prison guards, and when he was arrested, he kept shouting to see His Majesty."

Li Rong frowned: "Could it be that something happened to the Youwang side?" What's going on in Youzhou lately? ”

Wei Zihua didn't answer, because he didn't know, and it wasn't his area of responsibility.

"You go to Shangshu Province to see what has happened in Youzhou recently."

Wei Zihua came back not long after he went: "Your Majesty, there have been no twists and turns in Youzhou in recent months, but the military report sent by Anxi Military Town mentioned Youzhou, saying that there are bandits attacking the city in Youzhou, and Youwang Li Feng asked for support. The envoy of Anxi town sent Wei Ze, the commander of the cavalry, to lead 2,000 troops to support, but the matter was too big and could only be expedient. ”

"Bandits attacking the city?"

Li Rong's expression was extremely strange: "The bandits in Youzhou have been arrogant to this extent? What does Liang Feiyang eat? That's it, I want that person to come to the capital for this matter, and send someone to see what's going on. ”

Wei Zihua said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there is something else wrong with this matter. ”

"You say."

"When the foolish man entered the city, he was dragged by the guards to the side of the house, and after killing several people, he inquired about His Majesty's whereabouts in the city as if nothing had happened. was later captured by the prison guards, and when Weichen went to pick up someone, he was arrested by the Criminal Department. ”

"At this time, life and death are unknown, and Weichen thinks that he should first find the stupid person and interrogate the cause of the matter."

Li Rong thought for a while and felt that it made sense: "You can do this matter, Xuan Taiwei Zhao Yan will meet you." ”

When Wei Zihua heard that Zhao Yan was going to be announced, he hesitated for a moment, and for some reason, he actually had the courage to say: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's inappropriate." ”

"What's wrong?"

"Weichen believes that this matter may be related to Zhao Taiwei, and Zhao Taiwei should avoid suspicion."

Li Rong was shocked, this Wei Zihua has never participated in the court struggle, why is he unusually blatant accusing Zhao Yan today?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon: "Wei Zihua, conspiracy and speculation to be the imperial captain, do you know what kind of crime this is?" If there is no evidence, you will be the end of the day. ”

"Wechen has no empirical evidence, just feelings."

Li Rong was laughed at by Wei Zihua, Wei Zihua, who has always been steady, could say such a ridiculous thing.

"Go back and look into your case."

Wei Zihua withdrew from the palace, only to find that his back was full of cold sweat, recalling the recklessness just now, and even more sweating on his forehead, what happened to him just now? How can you say bad things about Zhao Yan in front of Your Majesty?

In the palace, Li Rong thought about it quietly, and after all, he still didn't call Zhao Yan, but found an official who was not relied on in the imperial court, appointed him as the imperial history of the city, and sent him to Youzhou to check.

What happened in the capital has long been out of Li Feng's expectations, and the matter in Youzhou City is also on the verge of collapse.

Although he repeatedly reduced his food and shared the hardships with the people, the fact that he was hungry did not change, even Li Feng was hungry, not to mention the people below.

The situation that had just stabilized two days ago, after the lack of food, seeing that the people were about to leave again, Li Feng was completely helpless.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and when she buys food to the south, she is intercepted halfway, not to mention the north, and it is even more impossible for the grain in the military town to arrive.

At this time, Youzhou has become an isolated island of civilization, which can only go out, not enter.

Liu Ji, who had been hungry for two meals, saw that Li Feng was a lot haggard, and finally had the courage to say what he thought in his heart: "Lord Wang, in fact, it is not that there is no other way. ”

"You say."

"The bandits along the way to the south were arranged by Taiwei Zhao, as long as Zhao Kang said a word, the grain could be transported in."

Li Feng was furious: "Fart, you asked me to submit to Zhao Kang?" ”

"Lord Wang, if the stalemate continues, the people will be displaced and leave Youzhou in large numbers, Your Majesty will blame it, and you and Zhao Kang will be a lose-lose ending."

"It's better to give in first, get through the current difficulties first, and then make plans in the future."

It is true that what Liu Ji said makes sense, but Li Feng will not listen to it, because there is a reason why he dares to boast about Haikou in front of the people and will definitely be able to get food.

That reason is to go to exterminate the bandits, the cavalry captain Wei Ze, he will definitely be able to get food, and then he will be able to tide over the difficulties.

But Wei Ze has been gone for a long time and there is no news, if he doesn't come back, the people will really have to leave.

The more he worried, the more he worried, Li Feng was worried at the gate of the mansion, the people outside didn't know who started first, and the others got up one after another, carrying their luggage to leave.

"Stop them."

The guards hurriedly went to stop people, and Liu Ji knelt in front of Li Feng: "Lord Wang, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, you take it once and get through this difficulty, and then you will have a future." Otherwise, you will be relegated to the rank of commoner, and everything will be over. ”

Li Feng gritted his teeth, and then sighed deeply, this time he did not lose to Zhao Kang, but to Zhao Yan, not ashamed.

"Alright, let's go to prison......"

Li Feng got up, and suddenly saw a fast horse galloping over, and saw Li Feng rolling the saddle and dismounting: "Lord Wang, General Wei was ordered to clear out the bandits, defeated the people of Erlongshan, and seized countless materials, please go and inspect it!" ”

Li Feng was overjoyed: "Hahaha, it's just right to come, folks, the grain is here, come with me to check!" ”
