...

On the first day of June, Shendu, Tai Chi Palace...

"Emperor, Liu Ce traitor killed my Li clan. Please make the decision of Weichen and summon the troops of the world. Be sure to avenge Weichen's father~"

On the main hall, Li Suwen was wearing plain clothes, knelt in front of Ran Bi, the guard of the main hall, and cried in tears.

The news of Liu Ce's capture of Yongzhou soon reached the capital, and the entire government and the country were shocked by this, and Wei Ran felt deeply frightened.

Because of the fall of Yongzhou, it means that all the aristocratic forces that could stop Liu Ce were wiped out to the north of the Wei River in the Great Zhou Dynasty and no longer threatened the strength of the Military Governor's Office. At this time, if Liu Ce led his troops south, the entire capital would have no resistance.

The country of Great Zhou is already in danger, how can Wei Ran not be worried and scared? Listening to Li Suwen's cry, he empathized with it, but was powerless.

At this moment, the ministers in the hall were also surprisingly quiet. Along with the newly promoted ministers such as Zhen Sidao and Zhang Fuguo, they also kept silent because the current situation was no longer under their control.

"I already know the matter of Yongzhou. I will definitely negotiate with the Marquis of Hanling to give you a reasonable explanation..."

At this time, Wei Ran could only comfort Li Suwen with kind words, but there was no other way. He would never have the courage to let the whole country fight against Liu Ce at this time.

Li Suwen heard this, but said viciously: "Your Majesty! What I want is not a reasonable explanation. Liu Ce's thief is ambition to kill my whole family and take away the foundation of the Li family for generations. We want him to tear apart the corpses to relieve my hatred!"

Wei Ran replied: "Don't be excited. I will send someone to investigate this matter clearly. When the matter is clear, I will definitely give Duke Zhen a reasonable explanation!"

Li Suwen obviously couldn't listen to Wei Ran's words and said angrily: "Your Majesty! Liu Ce sent troops to Yongzhou without authorization, which had already seriously violated the Great Zhou system, just like rebellion,

Now he killed the Taiwei of the current dynasty, and his intention to usurp the country is very obvious. If such unfaithful and unrighteous traitors are not eliminated now, our great Zhou Dynasty will definitely be doomed. Please tell the world immediately.

If the king's army is joined together to fight against Liu thieves, if it is too late, everything will be over..."

After saying that, Li Suwen turned around and bowed to the officials in the court: "My ministers, this change in the Li family is a great shame for our aristocratic family.

I think that Liu Ce is just a commoner, but he ignores the rituals of the Great Zhou Dynasty and wants to slaughter the children of aristocratic families. As a member of the aristocratic family, are you really indifferent?

Today, Liu Ce can destroy the entire Li family. In the future, Liu Ce will be more powerful and will definitely go straight to the family of all the ministers. If you don’t help you at this moment, who can help you in the future?

Don’t you hear the reason why your lips are gone and your teeth are cold? Once Liu Ce crosses the Wei River and approaches the capital, how can he finish his eggs when he collapses his nest?

Please, in the sense that all the family members are from the aristocratic family, I will help you and help me to kill Liu Zhe. Su Wen is here, I am so grateful..."

After saying that, Li Suwen burst into tears and bowed deeply to the civil and military officials standing on both sides.

Listening to Li Suwen's heartfelt words, the civil and military officials in the Tai Chi Hall were also sighing secretly. If it were the case, the Li family would have fallen into the market and they would have clapped their hands in secret, hoping to take this opportunity to get a share of the pie.

But at this moment, they really couldn't be happy at all, because the opponent they were facing was Liu Ce, who was in full swing. It was terrifying to think about it.

However, even the Li family was defeated by Liu Ce in such a short time, and even Yongzhou was occupied. What strength do you have to compete with him?

"Report~~"

At this moment, a sudden scream came from outside the palace gate. A guard ran into the palace with sweat and knelt on the ground and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, General Xiang... Xiang Zhifei has returned to the capital and is now waiting to see him outside the palace gate..."

"Xiang Zhifei?"

Wei Ran muttered softly. It had been several months since he sent him to arrest Qin Zongquan. He didn't want to come back now, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.

"Take him into the hall!" Wei Ran immediately asked Xiang Zhifei to enter the hall, and at the same time advised Li Suwen with kind words, "Duke Zhenguo, please come back first..."

Li Suwen reluctantly bowed his hand back and returned to his official list in tears.

After a while, Xiang Zhifei walked into the hall with a haggard face. When he saw Wei Ran, he immediately bowed his hands and knelt in front of him and said, "Report to the emperor, I am here to punish you!"

Wei Ran said: "Commander Xiang, you have been away from the capital and pursued the rebel Qin Zongquan for several months. Why are you here to destroy your life now?"

Xiang Zhifei replied: "Your Majesty is guilty of being a crime. He went to pursue Qin Zongquan's 1,500 imperial guards. The entire army was wiped out, and only one of the silencers returned!"

"What?" Wei Ran stood up excitedly, pointed at Xiang Zhifei and said, "The two thousand surrendered soldiers in the capital who were pursuing Qin Zongquan were actually wiped out? Xiang Zhifei, what are you talking about?"

Xiang Zhifei lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, in the process of pursuing Qin Zongquan, he fought with him several times, and each battle was won. Until the Jingchu territory, there were less than a hundred people around Qin Zongquan. Beizhi could have captured him in one battle.

But at this time, he was attacked by Huang Fu's side master. He rushed to fight and finally retreated because he was outnumbered. Qin Zongquan joined the Huang Fu camp. He was entrusted by the emperor and was willing to accept any punishment..."

"Huangfu?" Hearing this name, Wei Ran sat back on the dragon throne weakly, "Has Huangfu's army actually appeared on the border between Jingchu and Jingjin?"

Xiang Zhifei nodded heavily and continued, "Emperor, there are about 8,000 partial troops who saved Qin Zongquan. This army is brave and good at fighting, and the leaders are quite versatile. They must not be taken lightly.

Bei Zhi has already investigated clearly that the chief general of the army who saved Qin Zongquan was named Luo Song..."

"Luo Song..." Wei Ran said this strange name and shook his head, "Could it be that Huang Fu is about to enter the capital?"

Xiang Zhifei said: "Your Majesty, I'm not afraid to ask the emperor to strengthen the defense of the states in the capital. I'm afraid the land of Jingchu will not last long!"

As soon as these words came out, Mantan was shocked. Wei Ran's eyes widened and pointed at Xiang Zhifei and asked, "What did you say? The three sectors of Jingchu are about to fall? How is this possible?"

Xiang Zhifei said: "Report to the emperor, this matter is absolutely true. The land of Ruzhou is in danger. Most areas in Qingzhou and Jiangzhou have fallen into the hands of Huang Fu. When the humble official returned to the capital, he learned that Governor Xue and Huang Fu were dispatching troops on the front line of Fancheng, and a decisive battle will be launched next year at the latest!"

When the Tai Chi Hall heard this, everyone immediately discussed it, and at the same time they were considering whether Xue Chengzong's army could defend the three provinces of Zhongzhou. If they could not defend it, then the gods would really have the risk of falling.

Wei Ran looked around and ordered the eunuchs and eunuchs to calm the hall. After he sent Xiang Zhifei back and asked Xu Chongming: "General Xu, who do you think has a greater chance of winning between Governor Xue and Huang Fu?"

After hearing this, Xu Chongming went out and said, "Your Majesty, the general has been paying attention to the situation in Jingchu for the last few days. Judging from the current situation, the victory and defeat between Huang Fu and Governor Xue has always been the upper hand since last year.

In this decisive battle, the last general thought that Huang Fu's chances of winning were very high. What Xiang Commander said was not a false alarm. The capital must be strictly prepared in advance. If Governor Xue is really defeated, there will be no soldiers to fight..."

After hearing what Xu Chongming said, everyone was even more nervous. Many people had begun to consider escaping from the capital.

The Grand Marshal Ximan immediately stepped out and said, "Emperor, the situation is now critical. I suggest that the elite troops of the capital be mobilized immediately to defend the Long River defense line to prevent the Yellow-covered army from sweeping over."

Meng Gu also agreed with Xi Man's proposal: "Emperor, I agree with the words of Taiwei Xi..."

All civil and military officials also began to agree, but Li Suwen was very dissatisfied.

He immediately went out and said, "Your Majesty, Huang Fu is just a reckless man! Liu Ce in the north is a hero with a tiger and wolf heart. How can he ignore Liu Ce because of Huang Fu?

The most urgent thing is to pacify Liu Ce first, recover all provinces in the northern region, and then use the whole country to clear the yellow and cover all the people!”

When Zhang Fuguo heard this, he immediately retorted: "Duke Zhenguo, Liu Ce is still acting with the official title of my Great Zhou. Even if he is a little arrogant and domineering, he will leave at this time.

But Huang Fu from the south swears that he must destroy the foundation of the Great Zhou. If he is allowed to enter the capital, do you think the country and country of the Great Zhou will be stable? Which is more important, please think carefully. Don’t ruin the major affairs of the country because of personal grudges!”

Li Su asked angrily: "Zhang Fuguo! What is your attitude? I still need you to talk about it when doing things?"

Zhang Fuguo said lightly: "Don't be angry, you can understand your mood, but please put the overall situation first!"

When Li Suwen heard this, he was so angry that he was trembling all over. Do you want to talk to him like this as usual? He didn't have time to see him curry favor with him on weekdays, but now he is teaching him a lesson in the opposite direction. It is obvious that he is bullying the Li family and is no longer as prominent as before.

Looking at Zhang Fuguo's arrogant look, Li Suwen's eyes were full of biting coldness, and he wanted to freeze Zhang Fuguo into an ice sculpture.

Seeing that the atmosphere became very cold, Zhen Sidao hurried out to smooth things over: "Okay, both of them are important officials of the court, so don't argue for the time being, everything is decided by the emperor."

After hearing this, Wei Ran thought for a moment, sat upright and said seriously: "The thief army is powerful, so you must be careful. Xu Chongming led the 250,000 troops he was training and quickly headed to the Jingchu border to deploy defenses. Never let the Yellow-covered thief army enter the capital of the capital!"

"Emperor~" Li Suwen was shocked when he heard this. He was about to speak out to dissuade him, but Wei Ran suppressed him again.

Wei Ran continued, "As for the Hanling Hou, I ordered Yao Zhong to go and state the meaning of the court. The three provinces of the Wei River and the land of Yongzhou belonged to the Great Zhou territory. He had no right to possess it without authorization, so he ordered him to choose a date to return it, and there must be no mistakes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chongming and Yao Zhong stepped out together to accept the order loudly.

However, Li Suwen was silent and stood in the hall with his head down, his eyes showing an extremely unwilling expression, and he hated Liu Ce, Wei Ran and the others in his heart.

He hated Liu Ce for destroying the Li family's foundation and killing the whole family, but also hated Wei Ran for not daring to act, and would only condescend to Liu Ce.
