The soldiers who were watching the camp came over and told me: "Young Master Liu, someone came from outside the gate and said that it was your mansion and you want to see you."

When Liu Yixuan heard this, he hurriedly ran out of the gate with his promotion. From a distance, he saw a man and a horse standing outside the gate. The man was making a fortune.

"Get rich, why are you here?" Liu Yixuan asked.

"Young Master, the master asked you to go home quickly and said that there was something important!" said Facai.

"What's important? What's important?"

"I don't know. Today, the housekeeper of the Wang Taiwei's mansion hurried to find the master and said, "I don't know what I'm talking about, so the master asked the young man to ride a horse to notify the master. You should go back quickly, so as not to delay, and the master will hit you again."

"Okay, I'll go back first, you guys follow you later." Liu Yixuan climbed onto the horse's back, hugged the horse's neck tightly, and gently clamped the horse's belly with both legs. The horse ran quickly into the mansion. Liu Yixuan was very familiar with the streets of Bianjing, and did not know how to control the precious horse under him. He had to hold the horse's neck tightly and let it gallop. Fortunately, the horse knew the road and rushed straight to the prime minister's mansion.

Several servants outside the mansion came to lead the horse from afar. Liu Yixuan got off the horse and came to the study room, but saw Liu Anguo holding a letter in his hand, feeling frown.

"Father, why did you ask your child to come back?" Liu Yixuan asked hurriedly.

Liu Anguo looked up and saw his son coming back, so he hurriedly called him to him and said, "Xuan'er, come and see..." Then he handed the letter in his hand to Liu Yixuan.

Liu Yixuan received the letter, but he couldn't understand the content of the letter. The handwriting on the letter seemed sloppy and could not recognize many traditional Chinese characters. Only then did Liu Yixuan regret not learning the ancient literature course well. After reading the letter throughout the letter, he only recognized the words "defeat" and "apologize for death".

"Father, what's wrong with this?" Liu Yixuan had no time to read the letter and asked hurriedly.

"Oh!" Liu Anguo shook his head and sighed, "I am afraid that my life will be in the near future!"

"Well, I've known this long ago because of the big deal!" Liu Yixuan said.

"What, you knew a long time ago? How did you know?" Liu Anguo asked.

"In our history textbook..." Liu Yixuan wanted to tell the old man about his identity, but was afraid that the old man would not understand, so he changed his words and said, "No, nothing, I heard some wind in the military camp, so I... guessed it."

"Oh!" the old man sighed again, "This is the last words sent by Taiwei Wang to me. This time he led his troops north, but he didn't expect Taiyuan to fail to save it, but instead lost 100,000 imperial guards!" Liu Anguo said, tears falling down.

"What?" Liu Yixuan then realized what happened. "There are all 100,000 imperial guards?" He quickly brought the letter again, wanting to take a closer look at what made the Song army so vulnerable. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not find the information he wanted.

"Then... apologize for death... Could it be that Taiwei Wang..." Liu Yixuan seemed a little surprised.

"Yes, it's all my fault!" Liu Anguo burst into tears. "If I hadn't advocated sending troops to Taiyuan, I wouldn't have killed Lord Wang. It's my fault, my fault!" Liu Anguo fell into deep self-blame.

Liu Yixuan felt a little embarrassed when he saw the old man's appearance. Although in his heart, the old man in front of him was not his father, his thoughts were placed in the body of the old man's son. Since he called him "father", how could he have no feelings?

Liu Yixuan comforted, "Don't blame yourself for your defeat. How can you blame your father for this defeat? Either the general is incompetent, or the army of the Song Dynasty is indeed vulnerable. If the Song Dynasty is really exhausted, what's the use of his father's self-blame? It's a pity that the Taiwei Wang is full of loyalty. He should not be the one who apologized for his death, but the emperor named Zhao!"

"Don't talk nonsense! If others hear this, our family will not die here! If the Song Dynasty is alive or dead, don't talk nonsense!" Liu Anguo shouted sternly.

Liu Yixuan wanted to persuade the old man, but when he saw that he was angry again, he had to say, "It's a bad boy, and the child won't say anything anymore."

Liu Anguodao: "You don't know that the people in the court are sinister. If you don't pay attention, you will give someone a handle. Today, the border urgently reported that the emperor summoned all the ministers to discuss matters. As a prime minister, I should have been summoned, but the emperor did not summon me. It must be because I tried my best to fight and didn't want to see me again!" As he said that, he became sad again.

When Liu Yixuan saw the old man sad, he was at a loss for a moment and said, "What's wrong with the main battle? The ambition of the Jin wolf is known to everyone. My Song Dynasty paid tribute every year and did not bring any peace. In the end, these wild wolves were raised more and more. Now that he is coming to destroy my Song Dynasty, should he sit and wait for death? Instead of waiting for death, it's better to bite him hard!"

Liu Anguo felt a little comforted when he saw his son understand his thoughts, but he understood that the emperor would not be so similar. They would rather be humiliated and cede land and pay compensation than be the king of the devastated country. Perhaps one day they would make a comeback and take revenge like King Goujian of Yue. However, he would not have thought that history is cruel and ruthless, and it would not give any nation the extravagance. This is an iron law.

Liu Yixuan suddenly thought of the friend Wang Zichun who went to war with his father. Since the Taiwei Wang apologized for death, he wouldn't have died, right? He asked quickly: "Father, Taiwei Wang has already apologized for death. Who is the prince?"

"The prince was also injured, and was waiting for the decree outside the north gate with some remaining defeated soldiers." Liu An Guodao.

"Outside the north gate? Why don't you go into the city?" Liu Yixuan asked.

"The defeated general has no imperial edict, so who dares to let them in? In the letter, the Taiwei Wang begs me to save his son's life, but I can't even see the emperor now, how can I ask for love for him?" Liu Anguo shook his head helplessly.

When Liu Yixuan heard that Prince Chun was in trouble, he began to get anxious and said quickly: "Will the Emperor kill him?"

"It shouldn't be. In recent years, the emperor no longer pursued these generals who had lost their battles. They were just demoted and exiled, and did not kill these criminals. They were just afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Yixuan asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid that if the prince believes in the slander, it's hard to say it." Liu Anguo said.

"What should I do? My father should go to the palace to meet the saint. First, he should complete the things entrusted by the Prince Wang, and second, he can also explain the reason to the saint in person. If the saint blames him, you will resign from this official position and stop doing it, so that he will be scared all day long!"

Liu Yixuan really wanted the old man to resign, because he knew that soon, the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty and the two emperors would become prisoners of the Jin soldiers. Instead of surrendering and being captured, it would be better to escape now without mercy.

When Liu Anguo heard this, he felt it was reasonable. He was loyal to the past few years, but he was trembling and trepidated all day long. If he could really return to the field, it would not be a bad thing. Besides, Wang Zichun is a smart and sensible child, so he must protect his life. Then he said, "What my son said is reasonable. For my father, I will come to the palace to meet the saint, ask the saint to be kind to the emperor, and let your brother die by circling your son Chun."

"That's great. My father should be careful when entering the palace and not be framed by those villains. I will go outside the North Gate to visit Brother Zichun!"

"Okay, you, my father and son act separately. If the Lord has a will, I will send someone to notify you." Liu Xiangguo arranged.

"Okay, my child is waiting for my father's good news." After that, he left the study and asked someone to lead his horse. At this time, he saw that the promotion had already rushed back from the imperial guard camp, so he ordered the promotion: "Promotion, you and I will ride to the north gate to welcome the prince!"

"Ah? Master, I've been jogging all the way, and my legs are sore. You'd better ask someone else to go!" said the promotion.
