Li Xu didn't wait long on the porch, but Wang Qinian came out and invited him in.

In addition to Song Mu, there were several civil servants in the conference hall, all wearing purple clothes, and they were obviously all big shots in the cabinet.

When Song Mu saw Li Xu, he showed a kind and easy-going smile, reached out to greet Li Xu, and introduced him to others with a smile.

"Everyone, this is Li Xu. What, is he a handsome man? Let me tell you a secret. My husband, this nephew, has not yet married. If you have any daughter, niece, granddaughter, etc., you can still fight for it. Of course, don't think about the position of a wife."

Song Mu's introduction like an ordinary elder made a laughter quickly in the cabinet.

The atmosphere suddenly became much happier, and everyone was looking at Li Xu with their eyes. Some people really began to think about Song Mu's suggestion just now.

This boy looks really good, neither humble nor arrogant.

As long as you continue to keep it and don’t die, your future will definitely be limitless.

If a woman can get in touch with her, it is also a very cost-effective thing.

Even if you are a concubine, you can finally get along with me.

Li Xu didn't expect Song Mu to introduce himself like this. He was a little embarrassed and bowed to everyone with a smile. Then he said to Song Mu: "Gei Master Song, I will report it to you in the future."

When outsiders were present, Li Xu naturally wanted to give Song Mu the official title.

When Song Mu heard this, his eyes narrowed, and probably realized something, and his eyes signaled Li Xu to say something later.

He turned around and looked at the others, all his eyes were looking at him, pondered for a moment, and asked Wang Qinian to explain.

Wang Qinian quickly retreated with other small officials and civil servants and closed the door.

Only Li Xu and a few cabinet ministers were left in the entire convention hall.

Song Mu looked at Li Xu and signaled that he could speak now.

Li Xu looked at Song Mu and guessed in his heart that he had expected what was going on, so he did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "Grade Master, all the lords, I will take in many defeated soldiers outside the city today. From these people, Ningguo Duke Lin Ruhai was defeated and killed in Yan'an City and his entire army was wiped out."

As soon as these words came out, the entire convention hall first burst into a few exclamations, and then quickly returned to death.

Li Xu looked carefully and saw that the expressions on the faces of several cabinet ministers were more serious than shocked. He was obviously mentally prepared for this result.

Isn’t Song Mu’s arrangement just now to cope with such a result?

Song Mu didn't speak, and everyone else was quiet.

After a while, Song Mu looked at Li Xu with a serious expression and said, "Where are these defeated soldiers now? Does anyone else know about this news?"

Li Xu knew what he meant was because he was worried that the news would leak and cause turmoil in the capital.

"Please rest assured. General Mo had already ordered that the defeated soldiers were secretly contained in a secret place as soon as they were discovered. Moreover, only General Mo and several confidant generals knew about their interrogation. After learning the news, General Mo came to report to the Master as soon as possible."

Song Mu's expression relaxed a little when he heard this, and sighed, "It was indeed defeated. I didn't expect that Lin Ruhai's generation of generals would be defeated so badly. Everyone, now that Lin Ruhai is defeated and killed, this force that defeated him is likely to go south soon. My Daqin is really full of internal and external troubles!"

"The Lin father and son are ruining the country! It's really my sinner in the Qin Dynasty!" A youngest-looking cabinet minister suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Yes, Lin Ruhai recommended his son Lin Yi the last time, which led to his defeat. This time he took charge of the army himself, but the entire army was still wiped out. He went on two expeditions and lost nearly 100,000 elite troops in the Qin Dynasty! Now the capital is empty. If the enemy attacks, what can we do to resist? Although the Lin father and son are dead, they cannot clean up their great crime of defeating the country! I will ask Your Majesty to convict the Lin father and son, confiscate the Lin family to serve as a warning!"

"Although a person dies, his crime cannot be eliminated. The Lin father and son must be severely punished for such a serious crime that the country is ruined!"

“It’s…”

Seeing everyone's indignation and righteous expressions, Li Xu felt really uncomfortable.

No matter how arrogant Lin Ruhai and his son celebrated the holiday with him, they were at least willing to sacrifice their lives for the country.

As a result, when they died, you just kept plaguing the blame. It was not just that people left and were cold. It was like even the cups they drank and chairs they sat on were smashed. They also had to spit out a mouthful of phlegm and then curse "trash".

This is because there is no recorder. Otherwise, I would record the words of this group of people for Lin Yi to see what kind of people in the court he was loyal to.

Although he was very ashamed of the faces of these people, Li Xu didn't say anything, just watched coldly.

"Bang!"

Everyone was startled by the sudden sound and turned their heads to look. They happened to see the gloomy-faced chief assistant Song Mu staring at them. No one dared to speak for a moment.

Although Song Mu, the chief assistant, has always been kind and kind in front of Li Xu, he is a real and cruel person.

The ability to hold the position of chief minister of the cabinet is not just because of the emperor's identity as his uncle.

Zhang Wenzheng, the second assistant of the cabinet, repeatedly wanted to challenge the authority of the prime minister, but inexplicably involved in the case of King Yong's rebellion.

You should know that Zhang Wenzheng also served as the teacher of the late emperor.

As a result, other cabinet ministers dared not be arrogant in front of this prime minister.

"When the enemy is about to reach the city of Chang'an, I don't think about how to defend the enemy, but I'm talking nonsense here. Is this what the ministers should do? The Lin family and his son are naturally guilty, but everyone is dead. Can they be able to defend the enemy by punishing them?"

Song Mu rebuked him sternly.

The meeting hall was silent, and everyone was bowing their heads and dared not speak.

Li Xu watched coldly, feeling that Song Mu's attacks were like acting for him.

But he didn't care. Today he came to the cabinet to report the news, just to see what the ministers reacted.

What happened to see?

It’s really good to lose your country if you are a group of people!

"Don't make this public for the time being. The matter of mobilizing soldiers from all over the country that has been arranged before should be handled in a step-by-step manner. If anyone is negligent, don't blame me for punishing you for colluding with the enemy."

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Song Mu snorted coldly and explained again.

"Secretary and I will follow the instructions of the elders!"

Everyone hurriedly stood up and took the order.

Song Mu's face then calmed down a little, turned his head to look at Li Xu, and asked in a deep voice: "Li Xu, you are a general in command and know about military affairs. According to your estimate, when would the enemy's troops come to Chang'an City?"

Everyone looked at Li Xu when they heard this.

Li Xu naturally knew when, but he pretended to ponder for a while and said, "So-called soldiers are the most powerful. Since the enemy has defeated Lin Ruhai, he must know that our army's main force is still confronting the Wei army at the two passes. The capital is empty at this moment, and it is the best time to attack. With the distance from Yan'an Prefecture to Chang'an City, the last general is expected to be around July 15th."

July fifteenth?

Someone took a breath when he heard this.

That's the Zhongyuan Festival!
