Jinling City, Imperial Palace.

Qi Emperor Jiang Ningxian was flipping through the folds, his face was gloomy, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be about to explode. The surrounding atmosphere was extremely depressing, and the palace people did not dare to breathe, just now, three palace maids had been executed.

All the twists and turns are either about the fall of Shu or about the defeat of Shen Tian.

Jiang Ningxian still finds it hard to believe that the Qi State has lost more than 100,000 troops, but it still can't destroy the Zhaowu army, and even the huge Shu land has fallen into the hands of Li Zhao.

Not only Jiang Ningxian, but most of the people in the Qi government and the opposition could not accept this.

It was only then that they really realized that the problem was more serious than they imagined, and the Qi Kingdom was targeted by a vicious wolf.

In the 100 years since the founding of the country, the State of Qi has encountered numerous crises, there have been rebellions in Lingnan and Mindi, and the State of Wei has also attacked Hanzhong in a big way, and the State of Qi has survived in the end.

But only this time, the enemy is stronger and more greedy.

Shu and Hanzhong are not comparable to Lingnan or Mindi, and Chengdu is also a first-class city in the world.

Even mediocre people can see that if they capture the Zhaowu army of Shudi, they will have more soldiers and horses. It is estimated that in a year or two, Li Zhao will attack again. Its purpose is obvious, it is to annex the Qi State.

After realizing this, both the minister and the royal family were shocked and angry.

At the same time, they are also reflecting on why things have come to this point. Except for Liu Sihong and Shen Tian, who should be responsible for this matter. Although no one dared to talk about it publicly, the spearhead was faintly pointed at Emperor Jiang Ningxian. The matter of Shu greatly affected Jiang Ningxian's prestige. After all, the previous generations of kings of the Qi Kingdom, although they were not eloquent, at least they did not lose so much land.

Jiang Ningxian was sensitively aware of the courtiers' strong dissatisfaction with him.

Yu Yizheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said that the imperial court was slow to move, and that after Li Zhao defeated Liu Sihong, he should immediately send troops to Hanzhong, but the imperial court delayed for several months, so that Li Zhao could gain a firm foothold in Hanzhong.

Xiao Ye, the imperial historian, played a game, believing that the imperial court had seriously underestimated Li Zhao's threat, and the 100,000 army could not win at all, at least 200,000.

Jiang Ningxian couldn't stand it anymore, and smashed these folds to the ground. When the surrounding palace people saw this, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. sneering in his heart, these people claimed that it was the fault of the imperial court, but in fact they were accusing him.

"The decree is that tomorrow morning in the Great Dynasty, all officials of the fifth rank and above must participate. The

palace people were about to go to inform, but they were suddenly stopped by Jiang Ningxian.

After a while, Jiang Ningxian looked unwilling and said, "Send someone to Liufu, Liu Zhijie will also participate in the court meeting." "

Evening, Chen's house.

The housekeeper Lao Huang walked into Chen Jin's study and informed him of the news of tomorrow's morning.

Chen Jin didn't raise his head and continued to sort out the letters on the table. Picked up a letter at random and handed it to Lao Huang, and said with a smile: "Do you think the emperor will like it if he sees this?"

"The emperor is now worrying about where to find a scapegoat. Since he can't find it, I'll help him find it. Chen Jin said lightly.

....................................................

The next day, early in the morning.

All the royal children and ministers of the court arrived outside the palace gate one after another.

To everyone's surprise, they actually saw Liu Zhijie, the general of the Zhu Kingdom. You must know that Liu Zhijie has not participated in the court meeting for more than ten years.

Many people secretly speculated that it was because of the Zhaowu Army that His Majesty planned to reinstate General Zhuguo and let him lead the troops to defeat Li Zhao.

Liu Zhijie's face was expressionless, too lazy to guess what everyone was thinking, ignoring the eyes of others, and walking without hurrying or slowing.

Prince Jiang Cheng took the initiative to step forward and arched his hand: "I've seen the old general, I haven't seen it for a long time, and the old general's demeanor is still the same.

"It's okay, I can't die for the time being. Liu Zhijie said lightly.

Sensing the other party's cold attitude, Jiang Cheng was embarrassed for a while, "Li thief is arrogant and forcibly occupies my Daqi land." Looking at the government and the opposition, only the general of Zhuguo can turn the tide and exterminate the Li thief. "

Oh, is it?"

Seeing several eyes looking at this side, Jiang Cheng was a little annoyed in his heart, Liu Zhijie didn't even bother to do face-saving work, no wonder his father wanted to suppress him.

Chen Jin stood nearby and saw this scene, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

After Jiang Cheng left, walking side by side with Liu Zhijie, Chen Jin said leisurely: "Isn't it good to drink a little wine and listen to a little song in the house, why bother to worry about it." "

The Emperor asked me to come.

"Tell me what to say? Li Zhao was ambitious, and sooner or later the army would be overwhelmed. The Emperor may wish you to live a few more years, and even if you don't come today, you won't do anything to you. "

If you have nothing to do, you should come and see the excitement." Liu Zhijie said lukewarmly.

"It's a coincidence, there was a good show today, and it was very exciting. Chen Jin said with a smile.

Liu Zhijie glanced at Chen Jin and stopped talking.

After everyone entered the main hall, Liu Zhijie naturally stood at the front of the column.

After a while, Emperor Jiang Ningxian walked into the main hall and sat on the dragon chair.

After everyone saluted, Jiang Ningxian first looked at Liu Zhijie, looked concerned, and said: "I haven't seen the old general for a long time, and today I am relieved to see that your body is still strong."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. "

Just three words, and then there is no then.

Jiang Ningxian looked at Liu Zhijie fixedly, and secretly clenched his fist with his right hand.

There was a brief silence in the hall, and an eerie atmosphere filled the air.

"Today's dynasty, I guess you all know what you are talking about. Li Zhao was ambitious and used trickery to occupy the land of Shu. How to destroy it, you can tell me. Jiang Ningxian said.

As soon as the words fell, Yu Yizheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Li Zhao's so-called Zhaowu Army has more than 100,000 troops, and the weapons under his command are excellent. If you want to exterminate it, there is only the general of the Zhu Kingdom. The minister suggested that 200,000 troops be sent and led by the general of the Zhu State to exterminate Li Zhao.

Before Jiang Ningxian could speak, Tao Hengyu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, although it is important to send troops. But there is one thing that needs to be resolved urgently.

"What's the matter?"

Tao Hengyu said loudly: "Weichen thinks that the loss of Shu is due to the prince's lack of morality, and the prince's fornication with the Zhaowu army is an unforgivable crime!

As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.
