It is impossible for such a smart person as Zhuge Liang not to understand the emperor's methods.

But as a courtier, what can he do?

This world is destined to be His Majesty's world, and no one can touch it, and no one's rights can be above or on par with His Majesty.

Based on this reason, Zhuge Liang would not blame the emperor for his actions, on the contrary, he would appreciate it.

This is the quality that a hegemon should have, and not letting anyone's existence affect his central power is one of the most basic elements of being an emperor.

Only in this way will the emperor with absolute courage lead his courtiers on the road to dominating the world.

Zhuge Liang willingly accepted the emperor's reward, and planned to take a good rest after the war, so as to recharge his energy and better serve his family and country.

This side of the capital.

At this moment, the civil and military officials were waiting intently for the latest battle report to come from the Chengde Palace.

They haven't been home for a day or two.

Because the day before yesterday, a battle report came from the front of the Chu State, saying that Bai Qi personally led the 100,000 troops in front of the southern barbarian land of the Chu State, and this battle vowed to level the Chu State.

For this reason, in the early stage, Bai Qi has prepared too much.

Before he personally led the army to attack the Nanban Land, he had sent several groups of troops to attack the Nanban Land, but unfortunately, all of them failed.

summed up all the lessons of failure, and let the soldiers use the blood and bones of the corpses to finally step out of the Nanban.

Now, Bai Qi is going to walk on the corpse of the Pao Ze brothers who have died fighting for the country, and step on the Nanban.

Zhao Changqing didn't care about the process.

To tell the truth, the horse leather shroud, loyalty to the country, is the most honorable destination as a soldier, he will only remember for himself, for the Great Wei soldiers who died in the war, but will not be intoxicated with the past, the best way to really avenge the Paoze brothers who have died in battle is to finish their unfinished road.

Maybe the world will say that Zhao Changqing has become ruthless, but in fact, he has always been like this, this is what the emperor needs to do, and it is even more sad.

From the state of Chu to Luoyang, even if you take a fast horse and come day and night, it will take about seven or eight days.

It's still a master trip.

Therefore, after the battle report arrived in Luoyang, it already represented that Bai Qi had been marching for many days.

In fact, having said that, in the whole world, the only one who can support multi-front operations is the current Wei State.

But even so, it also makes the national strength beyond its means.

Zhao Changqing accompanied the civil and military officials to wait for news in the Chengde Palace.

At the first time when the war report came, Zhao Changqing wanted to make the country's six ministries run quickly to maintain the next plan, and at the same time, to put the finishing touches on the recent war, so he needed the civil and military officials to help him at the first time.

That's why they should stay in the palace to eat and live.

A few more days passed, and it was still the same.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace have been very careful in their behavior and behavior recently.

After all, the big guys of the whole country eat, drink and live in the palace, and if they are not careful, their lives will be in danger!

At the same time, they could also guess that it must be a big deal to make so many bigwigs in the temple wait.

I even wondered, is the current Wei State invaded again?

I used to hear history say that the Wei State was bullied to a humiliating situation by the foreign powers, and I don't know if it was because of this reason that the current Wei State once again entered a stormy moment.

In short, there is everything to say, but it is also discussed in private, if some ministers hear it, but if they want to cut off their heads, it is better to be cautious.

Because of the actions of the civil and military officials, everyone smelled an extraordinary breath, which made everyone's mood tense.

The concubines of the harem take turns to deliver three meals a day in the Chengde Palace.

This is so that the ministers can remember His Majesty's kindness, and as His Majesty's woman, they naturally have to be considerate of their subordinates for His Majesty.

Only when subordinates are grateful to Dade will the country be stable.

The ministers ate the meals sent by the emperor's concubines, and they were all delicious, not to mention the joy in their hearts.

This is flattering, throughout the ages, how many ministers can have such treatment?

I don't know why, but there are a lot of war reports sent from all over the world today.

First of all, Chen Qingzhi's army was defeated in the wilderness, this is the news from a scout, and from a distance, the sound of him shouting all the way can be heard in the Chengde Palace,

"The King of Jin was defeated in Shangye and trapped in the Wuding River, General Xiao Yuming rushed to help, and was ambushed by the Liang army!"

For fear that others would not know, his brothers lost the battle together.

This is the news that Zhuge Liang ordered people to send to the imperial court, you can imagine how complicated and dangerous this matter is, after all, it can make him worry and want to tell the imperial court for the first time, I am afraid it will definitely not be simple.

Zhao Changqing took the secret report from the scout's hand through the eunuch, ordered the scout to go down and rest, and then told the people in the military department: "In the name of the military department, inform all armies that if there is news of defeat, it must be kept secret, and you can't be like the scout, make a loud noise, and behead him if he finds out about this kind of thing." ”

Xu Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and replied: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhao Changqing nodded after hearing this, sat on the dragon chair, and looked at the battle report written by Zhuge Liang himself.

It is said that there is a strategist in the Liang State, named Li Yijun, who is good at all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and the King of Jin was conspired by them because of his contempt for the Liang State, and the army was defeated in Ueno County.

After seeing that the matter was the beginning and the end, Zhao Changqing was a little depressed, and handed over the letter to a eunuch beside him and handed it over to the ministers to read.

Then, he felt a little headache about this, and he couldn't help but rub his head.

It just so happened that at this time, Zhen Mi and Wang Zhaojun, the two concubines, led the palace maids to bring in today's lunch, and noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was relatively depressed, and for a while, the two concubines didn't know what to do.

can make His Majesty and the civil and military officials show a serious appearance, I'm afraid, something bad has happened.

In the face of this kind of occasion, they didn't dare to say anything, but just silently did their own thing, and ordered the palace ladies to bring lunch to the ministers.

Zhao Changqing had been staring at the movements of those palace maids, and what he was thinking about in his heart was Chen Qingzhi.

He was really depressed.

I thought that the first military newspaper could be good news, but I didn't expect a bad news to come.

He took a deep breath, already had a verdict on this matter, and said: "King Jin! Because of the defeat of the enemy, I see that he has been doing it for too long, so long that he has forgotten how to fight a war." ”

The officials didn't dare to eat, and they were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Seeing this situation, all the eunuchs and palace maids who stayed in the Chengde Hall were about to sweat on their cheeks.

Although they have been staying in the palace, they have never seen so many big guys.

I heard that these people standing here at this moment are the real masters of the Great Wei Kingdom.

And the one who manages these masters of the Great Wei State is His Majesty the Emperor.

With so many big guys, everyone looks like they are facing a big enemy at the moment, how can they not be affected?

Even as the emperor's woman, Zhen Mi and Wang Zhaojun were a little panicked.

Zhao Changqing suddenly got up and said solemnly: "Order Zhuge Liang to stop the pursuit of the remnants of the Tang and Duan Kingdoms, and rescue Chen Qingzhi at all costs." But then again, after all, the king of Jin made a mistake, and he must not be punished, so he ordered Chen Qingzhi to be stripped of the throne and demoted to the Duke of Jin, and ordered him to reorganize the old department and play the prestige of the white-robed ghost general of the year. And I told Chen Qingzhi that as a general, I don't want him to always lie on the book of his former merits and wait for death!"

When the civil and military officials heard the emperor's voice, they all shouted, 'Your Majesty Shengming!'

Although he is relatively calm and calm on the surface, he has already trembled in his heart.

The emperor's methods are so ruthless!

Who is Chen Qingzhi? That is the great contribution to the expansion of the territory under the Great Wei State, and now, he has been removed from the throne so indifferently?

This king with a different surname has never been a prince for a long time, right?

Didn't they all say to each other that they were like brothers?

Moreover, Chen Qingzhi has been by His Majesty's side since he was a child

This is a punishment, and it is not merciless at all!

General Chen Qingzhi has been invincible for so long, and he is about to be removed from the throne after only one defeat, which is really miserable.

The emperor's means are also too strong.

Such a good relationship between monarchs and ministers, if you don't give a chance, you won't give a chance.

The emperor's heart is like an abyss!
