As soon as the enthronement ceremony ended, several ministers were summoned into the palace.

The first website for this novel is: Tadu Novel@app

The imperial study room is still the same imperial study room, but most of the people discussing it have been changed.

Wisps of smoke rose along the chimney, and the faint scent of sandalwood filled the air, making everyone's thoughts clearer.

All the chambermaids and maids left the house, leaving the imperial study room to His Majesty the Emperor and his closest ministers.

Yuwen Xingchen, who was wearing a golden dragon robe, had his hands behind his back and looked calmly at the huge map hanging on the wall. There was no emotion in his eyes, and no one could tell what the emperor was thinking.

However, this dragon robe fits perfectly, and when worn on Yuwen Xingchen, he feels like a king.

The six ministers bowed slightly and stood behind them respectfully, without moving at all.

Yuwen Xingchen is different from Zhou Chengxuan who grew up in a honey jar. He has the aura of a superior person, which makes people shudder.

At the beginning, Zhou Chengxuan gradually lost all imperial power because of his lack of majesty.

The Queen Mother and Shangguan Taiqing's protection of him was a kind of kindness, but they also destroyed the emperor invisibly.

Even though Yu Wen Xingchen might look like a handsome young man on weekdays and always smiles at everyone, in fact, he is so deep in the city that even the elders of some big families in the capital are extremely afraid of him.

Among the six ministers behind him, three were appointed just in the past two days:

Dugu Jin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was from Longxi and the younger brother of Dugu Xin, the head of the Dugu family.

Compared to his elder brother who was a military general, this middle-aged man in his forties has a rather scholarly temperament, with a hint of cunning in his deep eyes.

As the in-laws of the Yuwen family, the Dugu family also received their due rewards. One of the six departments of real power was assigned to the official department, and Dugujin's talents were worthy of this position.

Yuan Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was from Longxi and is currently the head of the Yuan family.

In order to quickly control the six departments, Yuan Cheng was recently ordered to go to the capital on an urgent basis to help the Yuwen family stabilize the situation. Yuan Cheng's son is now taking care of the affairs of the Yuan family in Longxi.

Even though the Ministry of Industry is a thankless place, it involves a lot of twists and turns when it comes to construction, water conservancy and other things that cost a lot of money.

The remaining Minister of Punishment, Wang Yongbin, had no family background, but he was a die-hard and loyal Yuwen sect.

After the chaos in the capital, he took over the Ministry of Justice and helped the Yuwen family eliminate many of their thorns in the flesh and their confidants.

In addition to these two powerful nobles in Longxi who wore the title of first-class official, many others went to various places to serve as governors, generals and other important officials, constantly strengthening the court's control over local areas.

The atmosphere inside the room was slightly weird.

Except for Wu Xinrou, the other five ministers still don't know what happened, but they seem to smell a storm that is about to come.

Yuwen Xingchen waved his hand gently: "Xinrou, please tell all the adults."

Several people cast curious eyes on this young man.

"My lords."

Fifth Xinrou bowed politely and said in a deep voice:

"Front Military Report:

The Liang army from Beiliang and Liangdi in Liaodong moved south in large numbers, attacking cities and territories along the way, and directed their troops towards the east and west of Hebei.

Now Malingguan and Liao Ancient City have been completely defeated, and the two garrison troops have been completely defeated. A large number of broken troops are pouring into Shannan and Hebei in the south. The frontline troops are panic-stricken.

From the mouths of the defeated soldiers, we learned that Xing Jiarong, the governor of the Western Hebei Province, died in battle, Jinghui, the history of the economics of the Western Hebei Province, was missing, Yuan Wu, the chief general of the Liao ancient city of the Eastern Hebei Province, died in battle, and Deng Chumin, the history of the economics of the Eastern Hebei Province

Kaesong surrendered.

There are also many civil servants and military generals who have lost news, and it is not known whether they are dead or alive.

According to Shannan Road's historical reports, they could even see the flag of the Liang Army standing at the junction of the two roads, and their cavalry cruising day and night.

The various passes on the front line requested the imperial court to quickly send reinforcements, and the Liang army will be approaching the city soon."

Fu Longzhi, the Minister of Household Affairs, exclaimed:

"What! Liang's army really went south? Has it reached Shannan Road? Hebei Road?

Is it possible that all the Jidong Road and Jixi Road have been lost?"

Shannan Road is roughly located to the southwest of Jixi Road, vaguely shaped like a semicircle and bordering Jixi Road, and has a vast territory.

Hebei Road is next to Jidong Road. Once the Liang army crosses Hebei Road, they will not be far from the capital of Gyeongsang to the south.

How can we fight this battle when the capital is in danger?

"This Liang army really dares to rebel. It's so audacious!"

"Their movements are really fast. They must have planned it for a long time!"

The voices of Cao Minxue, the Minister of Rites, and Wang Yongbin, the Minister of Punishments, also came to mind, and their faces were very surprised.

Even Yuan Cheng and Dugu Jin, who had always been calm, frowned and glanced at each other subconsciously.

Yuan Cheng concentrated and said: "Fifth Lord, do you know how many soldiers and horses the Liang Army dispatched in total?"

Yuan Wu is a member of his Yuan family and has been hiding among the garrison in eastern Hebei for many years.

Yuan Cheng thought that Yuan Wu's talents were pretty good, but he didn't expect that Liao Ancient City would be captured by Liang's army so quickly.

Fifth Xinrou shook her head: "Not sure.

At present, the two roads in eastern Hebei and western Hebei are in chaos. The war happened so suddenly that all our communication channels with other places have been cut off.

We can only know from the oral accounts of the defeated soldiers that the flags of the Northern Liang Left Cavalry Army, the Liaodong Zhenliao Army and the White Snow Guards appeared on the battlefield."

Everyone is familiar with the names of these military units, and they all have outstanding military exploits and great reputations.

There was a dead silence in the imperial study room.

The Liang Army has really taken action. The saying that the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry is the best in the world has already made their ears callous. Now they want to start a war with the Liang Army?

Including Wu Xinrou's eyes, there was a hint of being caught off guard.

He felt that he had made sufficient preparations in the east and west of Hebei, but he never expected that the combat power of the Liang army exceeded everyone's expectations.

Yuwen Xingchen said lightly:

"We have mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops in Jidong and Jixi in these two places.

These generals personally assured me that even if the Liang army moves south, they can hold on for at least half a year.

What now?

In just ten days, the two lands of Qizhou were turned into a sieve by others.

Haha~"

Several ministers lowered their heads subconsciously. Although Yuwen Xingchen's tone was calm, they could hear that the emperor was a little angry.

Today was the first day he officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and the gift he received turned out to be a military report announcing his defeat.

No one else would be happy.

Yuwen Xingchen turned around and raised his tone slightly:

"It is said that the flag of King Chen appeared among the rebels. It seems that King Liang is really lucky~

Everyone.

The war has begun!

From today on, make plans to live a hard life."

Everyone's heart trembled, and they felt a little uneasy deep down.

The battle this time was not against a ragtag group of refugee bandits, but the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, which was famous all over the world for its majestic armor.

Yuwen Xingchen rubbed his forehead and said:

"Let's talk about it, how to deal with the Liang army's offensive next?

We surrendered the eastern and western Hebei provinces, is it possible that we will also lose Shannan and Hebei?"
