Chapter 2 The power of the ministers is tilted towards the government and the opposition

Repelled everyone, and asked someone to carry the bodies of Li Huan and the others away, Liu Yong sat alone on the chair, looking at the long sword that was still rolling with blood droplets and pondering.

Outside the palace, the roar of the wind and rain has not stopped, I don't know what wooden building has been blown down, and the sound of the rattling is mixed with the screams of the palace people.

A very young eunuch poked his head in from outside the temple gate, observed Liu Yong's face, and then, cautiously walked in, picked up the blood-stained bamboo slips from the ground, and put them back on the dragon case.

"Your Majesty, it's getting dark, can you rest first?"

Liu Yong's gaze roamed over the little eunuch's face.

This person is Huang Hao's nephew.

Huang Hao was one of Liu Chan's most favored eunuchs at the beginning, if it weren't for his repeated demagoguery of Liu Chan, it would not have made Liu Chan listen to the wizard's nonsense and ignore Cao Wei's attack, and there would be no danger of hanging upside down now.

The first thing Liu Yong did after replacing Liu Chan was to kill Huang Hao and eliminate his fellow feathers in the palace, but he just left his little nephew.

This is not only because Liu Yong doesn't want to implicate too many people, but also because he is the master of Jing'an Palace, a close minister next to Queen Jingyi.

Queen Jing Mourning is the daughter of Zhang Fei, a famous general of the Shu Han Dynasty, the authentic mother of the Shu Han Dynasty, and the veritable master of the harem in addition to the Empress Dowager Wu.

Tonight, Empress Zhang asked him to come to serve her to rest, and her intention was obvious, but Liu Yong couldn't do it yet.

"Qiao Xi, you go and reply to the queen, I am about to go to the city to inspect, so she doesn't have to wait."

"Your Majesty is going to the city?" Qiao Xi's eyes widened, this was the first time in his impression.

A rush of footsteps came from outside the temple gate, and a warrior of the Forbidden Army in armor walked in quickly, followed closely by a eunuch on duty, as if he wanted to stop the man, but he pushed him away several times.

"General Qi must not be reckless!" Seeing that he couldn't stop it, the eunuch shouted loudly.

The samurai turned a deaf ear.

Liu Yong stared at the samurai's silver armor that was still dripping with rain.

With a "bang", the samurai fell to his knees on one leg.

"Wechen Qifang asks Your Majesty for forgiveness for the crime of trespassing in the forbidden palace, the situation is really critical, and Wechen has no choice but to do so." The samurai said loudly.

Liu Yong looked at Qi Fang with a cold face.

Qi Fang is a high-ranking general in the imperial forbidden army, although he is not a battle-hardened general, but he is also a rare warrior in the Shu Han army, and he is responsible for inspecting the guards of the city gates tonight.

"General Qi is here for Cao Wei's three-day period?" Liu Yong said, grabbed the bamboo slips, and clenched them tightly in his hands.

In fact, the bamboo slip was a letter written by Cao Wei's coach Deng Ai two days ago, or to put it simply, it was an essay.

There are countless words of coercion and intimidation in it, and more is a ridicule and ridicule of Liu Chan, and at the end of the letter, Deng Ai asked Liu Chan to open the city and surrender within three days.

It is not difficult to imagine Liu Yong's reaction when he first saw the letter.

As the queen of Shu Han, Liu Chan made this emperor so humble, Liu Yong was heartbroken, but he knew that now was not the time to grieve for the ancestors.

"Wechen is here for this." Qi Fang raised his head, his gaze met Liu Yong's gaze in the air, and for a moment, both of them seemed to feel an unusual coercive force from each other.

Qi Fang's complexion changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down.

"There are many soldiers who defend the city to say that His Majesty wants to surrender, the army is unstable, and tomorrow morning is the three-day deadline set by Cao Wei, Weichen is afraid that Cao Wei will attack the city in the morning, and wants to transfer people to the city in advance, however, the forbidden army of the imperial court is controlled by the ministers in the palace, and the Weichen cannot be mobilized, so he specially came to ask His Majesty, what is Your Majesty's plan, whether it is a war or a surrender, it is all in Your Majesty's words."

The eunuch standing behind Qi Fang gently tugged at the silver blade on his shoulder, signaling him to stop.

Qi Fang shook his shoulders and dodged the eunuch's hand.

A few pieces of bamboo slips were smashed by Liu Yong on the dragon case.

"The big war is coming, but the military horses can't be mobilized, who is so bold to control the forbidden army?" Liu Yong's face turned blue and shouted.

Qi Fang looked at the eunuch behind him.

The eunuch hesitated a little, and took a few steps forward with his head down.

"Back to Your Majesty, since the death of Zhuge Wuhou, the forbidden army has always belonged to the Huangmen Order, that is, Huang Hao is in charge, after Huang Hao was beheaded, Empress Dowager Wu asked Chen Ji to take over his position, and the forbidden army will naturally be in his charge. This was appointed by your own order. The eunuch replied cautiously.

The ministers were in charge of the forbidden army, but the commander of the forbidden army was unavailable, which was one of the main reasons why the army was not strong in the late Shu Han period.

Liu Yong knew this Chen Ji, and it could even be said that he was quite familiar with it.

He is a close minister of the Empress Dowager Wu, and he is also the main participant who wants to replace Liu Chan by himself this time, in the huge palace, except for him and a palace maid named Ling'er, only the Empress Dowager Wu and Liu Yong know about it.

For this Chen Ji, Liu Yong felt a little headache.

After a little hesitation, Liu Yong grabbed the long sword on the dragon case.

"General Qi Fang listens to orders."

"The minister is here." Qi Fang replied loudly.

"I will give you this sword of the first emperor now, and I will first transfer people to the city immediately, and never let the enemy army step into the city, and if anyone dares to surrender again, the general can use this sword to cut it." Liu Yong said.

Qi Fang's spirit was shocked, and he looked at Liu Yong in disbelief, wondering how His Majesty the Emperor suddenly had such courage today.

"If Your Majesty has this determination, Weichen is willing to repay His Majesty's kindness."

"General Qi should not be suspicious, and I am determined to live and die with this city." Liu Yong said, "Please also ask the general to take the first step, and then I will go to the city and fight off the enemy side by side with all the soldiers." ”

"We're thanking you." Qi Fang got up, took the long sword with both hands, and walked out quickly.

The eunuch's face was a little ugly, and he hesitated to come to Liu Yong's side, and reminded in a low voice, "Do you have to discuss this matter with Empress Dowager Wu first, so as not to displease Lord Chen Ji." ”

Before the eunuch's words fell, Liu Yong's hands were already trembling with anger.

"My society is already in suspense, but do you still have to take into account the feelings of a eunuch?" Before he finished speaking, he had already slapped the eunuch in the face.

Qiao Xi, the little eunuch who had been standing on the side, suddenly jumped up at this time and ran out in a panic.

Probably he had never seen the emperor so angry.

I don't know when the wind and rain outside have stopped, but the sky overhead is still cloudy, and sometimes there is a dull thunder rolling by, making the city of Chengdu, which is immersed in fear, tremble.

Half an hour later, Liu Yong, dressed in soft armor, walked out of the palace under the protection of two personal guards.

"Your Majesty is not good at riding horses, and the villain wants the palace people to prepare the dragon." One of the guards said.

The corners of Liu Yong's mouth twitched slightly.

"Hugh should alarm others, and prepare my horse quickly."

The two guards didn't react for a moment.

Liu Yong had already strode to the guard's war horse, untied the reins of the war horse, and supported one arm on the rib side of the war horse, like a giant bird rising into the air, and before the war horse reacted, it was already sitting firmly on the horse's back.

The two guards were stunned.

At this moment, a flash of fire suddenly flashed on the eastern side of the city, like an incomparably sharp steel knife, instantly cutting through the thick night.

The boundless Cao Wei soldiers rushed to the city gate.
