Bianjing.

After leading the army from Hanbi, the atmosphere in Bianjing became a bit strange.

Outside the court, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries love to party more and more. Brothels and homes are the places where they gather.

The secret agents of the Lover's Department did not dare to pry into the private gatherings of the big guys, and could only inquire about the information of the second-tier dignitaries.

The news gradually came together, making Nian Ru a little uneasy.

"They said that if Prime Minister Han was defeated and the Northern Xinjiang army came to the city, the Great Zhou Dynasty would definitely be doomed."

"Some people say that Prime Minister Han will definitely be able to defeat King Qin."

Nian Ru's memory is very good and he can tell the information without looking at the records.

Nian Xu is admiring a painting.

After a long while, he asked: "How are Peng Jing and the others doing?"

"We gather frequently, but His Majesty has ordered that the ministers are not allowed to pry into the news of the two of them, so..."

"The emperor spies on his important ministers. Once the news leaks out, it will be a disaster. From then on, the emperor and his ministers become strangers and even become enemies. I cannot take this risk."

Last time, a spy from the Qing Dynasty wanted to spy on Peng Jing and the two men, but was discovered by the experts around them and took action immediately. After this incident, Nian Xu ordered the Qing Dynasty to stop spying on important officials.

There was an undercurrent surging outside, but it was unbelievably calm above the court.

There were also fewer disputes during discussions.

Han Bi was away, and the remaining ministers of the New Deal faction were very honest and did not dare to cause trouble for the conservatives.

In this way, conservatives can experience the feeling of having great power without any checks and balances.

But Nian Xu saw it and felt mixed.

Balance is an essential skill for an emperor, but apparently he has lost some of it.

In dealing with Sun Shi's matter, he was too hasty and allowed the conservative family to dominate.

Sun Shi!

Nian Xu thought about this name.

I am so ashamed of him!

"Your Majesty, I believe that this year's taxes will have to be increased."

Peng Jing's voice awakened Nian Xu, who was wandering outside the realm.

"Um?"

He snorted coldly, "The people are already overwhelmed!"

"At present, there is a powerful enemy. It costs money to recruit troops, send out armies, and repair cities everywhere. You also have to recruit many civilians. Your Majesty, which of these does not cost money?"

Peng Jing sighed: "I know that your Majesty loves and cares for the people, but when it comes to life and death, I believe that everything should be based on the overall situation."

This was as close as pointing to the nose and saying to Nian Xu: Your Majesty, how can you achieve great things if you are so indecisive?

The anger in Nian Xu's heart suddenly rose. Just as he was about to scold him, he saw Xie Yingong hurried out of the palace.

Outside the hall, a messenger was standing there covered in dust.

"What's the matter?" Xie Yingong asked.

The messenger saluted and said, "I have military information to report to Your Majesty."

"Come with us."

Xie Yingong led the messenger into the hall, "Your Majesty, this is the messenger from Prime Minister Han."

Nian Xu's heart moved slightly, "But there was a battle?"

The messenger took out the battle report, and Xie Yingong took it and handed it over.

Nian Xu opened the battle report and just glanced at it.

Then, he said calmly: "Our army attacked at night, and the Northern Xinjiang Army was well prepared. Ten thousand cavalry...were wiped out."

The hall was quiet for a moment.

"Han Bi is incompetent!"

A sharp voice came out, and Nian Xu, who was in an extremely bad mood, looked over and saw an official jumping out and shouting: "Your Majesty, Han Bi must be severely punished!"

"Change the general! Your Majesty!"

"Severely punish Han Bi!"

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Peng Jing and Fang Chong were unexpectedly silent, and just watched their officials attacking the emperor.

Han Bi is the boss left by Nian Xu to check and balance the conservatives. If Han Bi is removed, the emperor's power will shrink unprecedentedly.

One will ebb and flow, and the two of them will become indistinguishable beings in the court.

Boom!

A piece of jade pendant flew down from the throne and shattered on the ground.

Nian Xu's face turned livid, "Do you know how to do martial arts?"

Everyone was stunned.

These ministers don't understand, but they know how to maneuver and defeat their opponents!

"It's a taboo to change generals on the spot. Did you know that?"

The emperor shouted and asked.

Everyone blinked.

"It is normal for two armies to fight and win or lose. When Fang Qing was defeated, what were you waiting for?"

Revealing the scars of the ministers was a sign that they were about to tear themselves apart, which showed that the emperor was really angry.

In a desperate situation, Nian Xu is ready to go to war.

"Fang Qing!"

Nian Xu said sternly: "You tell me."

Fang Chong left the class and said, "I don't dare to speak nonsense!"

Nian Xu pointed at the ministers who had been so proud before, "Then, why do these people dare to speak nonsense in front of me? Whose idea was this? As an emperor, how about I leave it to you to wait?"

With that said, the emperor stood up and prepared to undress.

So eager!

Peng Jing sighed in his heart, knelt down and said, "I don't dare!"

Fang Chong hesitated for a moment, then knelt down, "I don't dare!"

The ministers knelt down one by one.

"I don't dare!"

Nian Xu looked at them coldly, "Except Han Bi, who else can lead the army in the DPRK?"

"Whoever has the ability, please step forward and I will immediately order him to replace Han Bi!"

"However, leave all your family members behind. If you are defeated, I will kill them with my own hands!"

The emperor's words were bloody.

"Why, there's no one?" Nian Xu sneered, "Didn't they compete with each other before? Why are you silent now?"

"My lord, you are incompetent!"

Peng Jing lowered his head.

At this point, unless he wants to rebel immediately, he can only bow his head.

Conspiracy... The Nian family is still deeply rooted in the Zhou Dynasty. Who dares to rebel?

Apart from anything else, once rebellion is attempted, the people in Bianjing City will oppose it.

Unless Nian loses his moral character!

This is the role of righteousness.

Nian Xu looked at these ministers coldly and said, "The assembled army will send 40,000 to Han Bi."

"Your Majesty!" One person raised his head and wanted to retort.

"Shut up!" Nian Xu pointed at this person, "How about you be the emperor?"

The man lowered his head and said, "I don't dare!"

"Son of a bitch!" Nian Xu cursed loudly. The man trembled all over, stood up without wearing his hat, and slowly backed away.
