After leaving Changning Street, the postman went straight to the palace.

The palace of Ouchi towers, the majesty of the magnificence is like a giant beast lying on its stomach, those who dare to approach without recklessness will be killed, close to Ouchi, the spacious white jade street is sparsely populated, the post man did not contain the horsepower, waved a horsewhip fiercely, and the neighing of the horse accelerated towards the palace group.

The gatekeeper had long noticed this horse, and at this moment he had a hundred sharp arrows pointed at him, and even if he had the ability to reach the sky, he could be shot into a hornet's nest in an instant.

As the fierce horse approached quickly, the solemn face of the guard on the city wall was already clearly visible.

The post guard drove the horse non-stop, holding a knife in one hand, and taking out a black short shaft carved with a hideous dragon pattern from the package behind him with the other, and said loudly: "The general is in a hurry, and the blocker is guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and he will be beheaded all over the house." ”

Break off: "Open the door." ”

The battle report of the border pass is sent to the inner by the post guard, the priority of the battle report is divided into three levels, the red leopard short axis is the lightest, the purple tiger short axis is medium, the black dragon short axis is the most urgent, there are generally only two situations that can use the dragon pattern axis, either the front line defeats the country and has the possibility of falling into danger, or the front line wins in one fell swoop to lay the foundation for the victory of the whole war, there is a hidden organ in the black dragon short axis, except for the general and the emperor himself who put the war report down, others forcibly open it will destroy the war report.

After receiving the battle report, the post guard needs to be sent to Ouchi's 'Heavenly Machine Pavilion' non-stop to stop.

The post man held the battle report high, and was still ten paces away from the city gate.

The speed of the war horse is extremely fast, and it can rush out more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, which is only a few thoughts.

The face of the defender in the city was solemn, and the adjutant's eyes glanced at him many times, it was a big crime to block the dragon pattern battle report from entering the city, and it was to be beheaded all over the house.

Five paces away, the adjutant's breath was cloudy.

"Open the door," the guard whispered.

The adjutant was as nervous as a drowning man, grabbed this life-saving straw and shouted: "Open the door, open the door quickly......"

Ouchi Tenkikaku.

The early dynasty began from the moment the sun rose, until the sun was about to reach the middle of the sky, the court meeting had not dispersed, the emperor Zhao Gaochi, the middle-aged man, sideburns to see white hair, the tiredness on the face of successive discussions could not be hidden, took the tea handed by the eunuch and drank it all.

His Royal Highness is divided into two main parts.

Part of it is headed by Prince Zhao Gaoming, and part of it is headed by Shoufu Yu Jingyang, the strength can be divided at a glance, the court is divided into six departments: officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers.

The topic of discussion today is very simple, whether to remove the unfavorable general Jing Chen.

This simple question has been debated for a month now.

Zhao Gaoming stood calmly and relaxed, with a red light, undoubtedly made full preparations this time, he glanced at his eyes, Song Shanhe, the head of the household, stood up very well, saluted His Majesty the Emperor, and reported: "Your Majesty, the spring plowing of the whole country has ended, less than seven or eight out of ten of the fertile fields planted with crops, and men over the age of 20 are the main labor force of the family, these laborers are either killed in battle or in the army, and only some women, children and old people are left in the cultivation, if we go down like this, we will have no grain to harvest in the autumn." ”

"Since the start of the war between our country and Daliang, half of the national taxes have been used for military spending, and new taxes on soldiers and horses have been added, and the people have complained a lot. ”

After Song Shanhe finished speaking, Gu Jingluo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up, this nominal top staff officer was the most disagreeable with Jing Chen, for no other reason, because the conscription and food were not good enough to be buried by Jing Chen, and even the real fat beating had one or two times, and the most fierce one was beaten for three months without getting off the kang, and the first thing after getting off the kang was to ask Jing Chen for the guilt.

The military department has Jing Chen, a super-capable general, who can only be regarded as an idle water yamen.

Gu Jingluo said: "Your Majesty, the lowly duty is responsible for supervising the world, the perennial war has led to the poverty of the people, and there is resistance in various places when conscription, and in the long run, not only will there be no soldiers to recruit, but we may also need to send troops to suppress all parties to extinguish the spark." ”

He paused, and said again: "Jing Chen's battle is unfavorable, and he has the courage to beg for a change of general." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhujie sneered, and sneered mercilessly: "Changed Jingchen, let you go?" My Lord Shangshu, I am afraid that you have forgotten that the whole country still has the reputation of 'Gu Jingluo and Fake Jinglu' to this day. ”

Gu Jingliu used to be a general with troops, but he was made fun of by the whole country after losing the battle.

Zhu Jie ignored the blushing face of this colleague, and continued: "Jingchen's front line is blocked, all because of the Jidao Wuxiu from the obstruction, three thousand Jidao warriors defend the city, and ordinary people resist Wuxiu If ordinary people are like this, ordinary people have already lost, Weichen thinks that General Jingchen is not only innocent, but also meritorious, and the old man has the courage to guarantee that it won't be long before these Jidao Wuxiu who are above the top will be killed by my Zhongyan army." ”

Emperor Zhao Gaochi leaned on the dragon chair, supported his forehead with one hand, and did not speak.

At this time, Zhao Gaoming stood up and arched his hand and said: "Xuan Lang, he is eighteen years old this year, and it stands to reason that he should go back to Beijing to participate in the Qingjiao Competition, and it is time to return to Beijing." ”

The crown prince Zhao Xuanlang followed the general on the expedition at the age of ten, and this journey was eight years.

In the past eight years, the emperor has not been in a hurry, normal people's thinking, the prince is so prominent in the army must be meticulously protected, and the arrangement of military affairs will also be a position that can both reflect the ability and absolute security, such as staff officers, etc., but the general is not biased, just arrived at the barracks and incorporated Zhao Xuanlang into the Qingdao soldiers, the Qingdao soldiers do not participate in direct battles, but it is a disgusting job, every time after the war, the battlefield is full of mutilated corpses, the job of the Qingdao soldiers is to bury the corpses and classify weapons, which is only ten years old for a child in the heart of the shadow can be imagined。

The Qingdao soldiers have been working for two years, but fortunately, although the news of the death of the prince has been spread in these two years, it was finally confirmed that it was all false.

may think that two years of experience is enough, Jing Chen made an incomprehensible decision, and put Zhao Xuanlang into the scout, the two armies fought, and the scouts secretly spying on the news was the most dangerous, and the death in battle was only slightly lower than that of the vanguard death squad, which did not make the harem anxious, crying and shouting to find Jing Chen desperately, but fortunately, they were all suppressed by the emperor in the end.

It is reasonable to say that after three years of scouting, Zhao Xuanlang should have a lot of credit, but Jing Chen was stunned that he had not asked for a single credit, until the news of the loss of his war horse and being whipped in public came to the capital.

The army was blocked under the prison sheep pass, under the danger of the sky, the scouts were insurmountable, just when everyone thought that they could send a breath for the prince, it was rumored that they were assigned to the vanguard to participate in the battle of the pass, this time it was the queen's mother's life, and secretly went out of the city to snatch back the son, but as soon as he arrived at the border pass, he was discovered by Jing Chen's eyeliner.

The queen was just looking for trouble with him, so she was naturally not afraid, but she didn't even see Jing Chen's face, so she said: "Where did the wild woman come from, throw it out." ”

Isn't it just thrown out?

After the queen returned to the palace, she didn't arrange Jing Chen's bad words, and she ate fasting and recited Buddha every day to pray for the prince.

The battle on the front line is dangerous, maybe one day there will be news that the prince died in battle, Emperor Gao Chi only has such a son under his knees, and the original gray eyes of his son instantly recovered.

The corners of Zhao Gaoming's mouth raised slightly, Zhao Xuanlang was in the army, and he was equivalent to Jing Chen's talisman, as long as he was transferred back, he would be completely sure that he would replace this high-ranking and powerful general with his own person.

At this time, Gu Jingluo stood up at this time and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has the courage to recommend a person, this person has been familiar with military books since childhood, and has led troops to conquer more than ten cities in Hongguo, and his military quality is by no means lower than Jing Chen. ”

"This plan is feasible to surrender other people's soldiers without a fight," Song Shanhe echoed, holding his beard and saying: "Although Han Shikai is a disciple of Jidao, his ancestor is my Zhongyan person, and he himself has served our country for three years, so he is politically reliable, and he thinks it is feasible." ”

The main reason why Daliang has been unable to attack for a long time is the full support of the top sect of Polar Island.

The relationship between the state and the sect is inseparable, the state provides martial arts resources for the sect to provide talent reserves, and the sect provides force protection to achieve a win-win situation on the surface, and the powerful sect secretly wants to suppress the country.

Polar Island is the chief worship sect of the Great Liang.

Zhongyan also has a sect to worship, but in the past fifty years, this thunderous sect, the head of the sect does not know whether it is crazy or how, the main vein is closed, although the strength of the remaining veins is good, the dragons are naturally no longer the same, and now Zhongyan is equal to the support of the monks on the mountain.

In recent years, the Zhongyan Dynasty has risen strongly, and the backbone forces such as Jing Chen and Yu Jingyang have unanimously believed that their own strength is really strong, and they have not confirmed the new suzerain, which can be regarded as an alternative.

Since Zhongyan swallowed the Great Liang, the officials of the DPRK and China have been active in the sect behind them, and they all want to seek the status of a worship country from Zhongyan.

"No," Yu Jingyang said.

He arched his hand to the emperor and said: "Since Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, he has always upheld the equal status of the country and the sect, and taking Han Shikai as the general is equivalent to becoming a country of worship on the Pole Island in disguise, which is contrary to the concept of our country. ”

"Hmph~," Zhao Gaoming sneered, and said: "Lord Shoufu may still be thinking about Qingshan, Qingshan has not appeared for fifty years, at this time, I am afraid that the inheritance has been broken, the sword technique of Jidao is unparalleled in the world, and even the Taixuan Sect praises one or two, why can't my country worship Jidao as an offering?"

"Your Majesty, the deputy island master of Deji Island, the younger brother, personally promised that as long as he can worship Han Shikai as a general, he will order three thousand extreme warriors to return to the island, and will also select no less than five young people from my dynasty as inner disciples in this Qingjiao competition, and in time, my Zhongyan's position in the interior of Jidao will be more and more consolidated. ”

"The sword is held upside down, and the person is given a handle, is such a country still a country?" shouted the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhujie.

Song Shanhe sneered and said, "Lord Zhu, I'm afraid that only you and that Jingchen puppet haven't woken up yet, and the three thousand extreme warriors have stopped Jing Chen, who has an army of 100,000, outside the prison sheep pass for three years, so it still can't prove that the monks on the mountain are unparalleled?"

"You have to bow your head when it's time to bow your head, Take-sama...."

It was the time of the noise, the warm sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the hall, the big inside forbidden horses, arranging horses is a big crime, not to mention that this is still the Tianji Palace, the ministers can't figure out who will eat the bear's heart leopard gall to ride a horse outside the Tianji Palace.

I only heard the shouting from far and near: "The general's war report." ”

Zhao Gaoming and Song Shanhe's eyes flashed with a trace of gloom.

The emperor saw the black dragon from afar, and he stood up from the dragon chair in a listless manner.

The sound of armor outside the hall sounded, Han Shikai led the general in the interior, and the army was extremely strict, and a sergeant immediately stepped forward to stop him, raising his knife and shouting: "Who is coming, quickly get off the horse and unarmour." ”

The post guard drove the horse non-stop, and said: "I am the vanguard of the cattle thousands, there is a secret report to be presented to His Majesty personally, you wait for the go." ”

Han Shikai's subordinates were the most unfriendly to Jing Chen's people, in the past, one was at the border, and the other was in the capital, and no one could see anyone, Niu Qianxiang finally bumped into his hand, and was about to shake some majesty, where was the chief guard willing to let go, drew his knife in his hand, blocked the front of the steps, and yelled: "Stop." ”

Niu Qianxiang held the short axis of the black dragon in his hand, in which the battle report was related to the honor and disgrace of the soldiers, how could he stop, he whipped a horse whip fiercely, and the fierce horse jumped on the white jade steps, his body tilted to the left, and with a knife swing of horsepower, the sergeant who blocked the road was cut into two with knives, the blood was bursting, and the Tianji Hall was immediately silent.

Niu Qian drove the horse into the temple.

"Capital crime," Song Shanhe roared, the ministers of the dynasty not only need to have the true ability to govern the country, but also have excellent personal martial arts attainments, he punched Niu Qianxiang from afar to sit down on the horse, the fist roared like a mountain, the horse neighed and the head burst open, Niu Qian pressed the saddle with the hand holding the knife, and his body flew up, in the end, he still knew that this was the Tianji Palace, and the people who blocked it were all big officials, the knife that was still dripping blood did not cut at Song Shanhe, Song Shanhe sneered and changed his fist to a point, to shoot this blood-stained general, Yu Jingyang stepped out in one step, and said slightly angrily:" Song Shangshu, you've passed," I didn't see any movement from him, he raised his arm and waved, and the wind of his sleeves wiped out the fierce sword qi.

The law of the imperial court comes first, and the Black Dragon War has the right of priority to pass through Beijing, and even if it is a big official, it can be cut with a knife, not to mention killing a guard chief, even if he is cut by Song Shanhe, he can't ask Niu Qianxiang for his guilt.

Song Shanhe snorted coldly with an iron face, thinking that this vanguard will be covered in blood, it must be that Jingchen's front line is unfavorable, and he may have been defeated, the emperor is angry, let alone such a disrespectful little striker, even Jingchen has a way to kill him.

Niu Qian threw away the long knife after landing on the ground, and held the war report in both hands in front of the emperor.

The Black Dragon Axis will either win or lose.

In the battle with Daliang, Zhongyan gambled on the national fortune, and this battle must be won.

Emperor Zhao Gaochi had to take a deep breath and suppress the uneasiness in his heart, before he took the black dragon battle report from Niu Qianxiang's hand, and the emperor who was not surprised at this moment opened the black dragon short axis mechanism without a slight tremble, and the heavenly machine hall was silent, only the blood of the violently killed horses kept flowing out.

With the slight sound of the 'click' mechanism, the short axis was opened, and the emperor took out the battle report, and when he saw the first word, his originally frowning brows instantly opened, and said, "Play the drum." ”

"Victory.....

"God bless Zhongyan, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live......."
