"Is Your Majesty safe?" Liu Zhixue rushed to Lingbi overnight and received a notice to attend the morning military meeting in the morning to discuss the attack on Fu Li. As the front line commander, he naturally had to report on the current situation of the war. But he had something in mind, so he came to the camp half an hour in advance and wanted to meet His Majesty alone. After the notice, Tan Fei got off the ship and came to pick him up. After each of them, he asked while walking.

"Your Majesty is fine, but you are just plagued by military and political affairs. Can you rest for a while?" Tan Fei smiled.

"Your Majesty has been working hard for the country day and night for many years, but we are subordinates but cannot share our worries. I am so ashamed!" Liu Zhixue sighed softly. He can be said to be the old man around the little emperor. It is okay to say that he is watching him grow up. Think about how close he was when the king and his ministers hang out together every day, but now the officials are getting bigger and bigger, but it is rare to meet.

"The commander Liu Du led the troops to fight, attacked the cities and villages along the way, with great momentum and great achievements. Your Majesty often praised him!" Tan Fei was a junior in front of Liu Zhixue, so he naturally did not dare to be arrogant and replied with a smile.

"Oh, Your Majesty often mentions Sajia?" Liu Zhixue was very pleased when he heard this, thinking that His Majesty had not forgotten the old people who had conquered the world together.

"Of course, Your Majesty is the most nostalgic. Yesterday, he also talked about the incident of crossing the sea with everyone to Qiongzhou. At that time, the entire general's mansion could not put together a hundred pairs of armor. All he ate was dried fish and rice, but all the generals were unwilling to leave him, and he was very moved!" When he arrived in front of the imperial boat, Tan Fei flashed and asked him to walk first.

"Haha, Your Majesty still remembers what happened at that time!" Liu Zhixue knew that those who could command the guard camp were His Majesty's confidants. Although he was old, he did not dare to be arrogant. He said that he would walk with him and step onto the gangway together.

"Your Majesty often says that if you are rich and noble, don't forget to win each other. Just because you sit firmly on the dragon throne, you can't forget the people who conquer the world together." Tan Fei knew that Liu Zhixue came to see you in advance, so he must have something to do. The biggest possibility is Your Majesty's attitude after the Battle of Shouzhou, so he said tactfully, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to Liu Dutong. The memorials of the previous comments were really like snowflakes, but they were all suppressed by Your Majesty!"

"Oh, I really feel ashamed of Your Majesty's trust. This time I caused such a big trouble for Your Majesty!" Liu Zhixue wanted to find out the attitude of Your Majesty to him. After hearing this, he felt a little relaxed, but thinking that His Majesty could save him under the pressure from all sides, it was still unknown whether His Majesty could save him, and sighed and said ashamed.

"Don't blame yourself too much, Your Majesty will make a clear decision!" Tan Fei saw that his face was slightly less worried, and knew that he had guessed his thoughts and comforted him.

"Please store your arms here temporarily!" After boarding the imperial boat, a sergeant on duty stepped forward and saluted.

"Okay!" Liu Zhixue knew the rules and asked his followers to stay. He took off his sword and gun, and then raised his arms to let the guards search for the body.

"General Liu is your Majesty's confidant general, so it's not unreasonable!" The guard was about to go forward to search, but was shouted back by Tan Fei, and led him to the passage at the stern of the ship to walk upwards.

"Thank you!" Although it was only a trivial matter to avoid being searched, Liu Zhixue understood that this must have been ordered by Your Majesty in advance, otherwise Tan Fei would not have stopped him. You must know that as the leader of Your Majesty's personal bodyguard, he would not escape investigation even if he made any mistakes, so he naturally did not dare to make decisions on his own and violated the regulations. This moved him very much, thinking that as long as His Majesty's trust in him was still there, he would have a restart even if he was dismissed.

"Subordinate Liu Zhixue, please see Your Majesty!" When the two of them went up to the third floor of the imperial boat, Liu Zhixue saw the little emperor standing outside the cabin door, still wearing his old white military uniform. He hurriedly took a few steps and worshiped him.

"Why should you be so polite!" Zhao Bing reached out and helped him up and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty, please punish me!" Liu Zhixue stood up and bowed again and said.

"Who said you are guilty?" Zhao Bing asked back after hearing this.

"This... I heard that the ministers in the court reported impeachment and wanted to ask me about my crime!" Liu Zhixue saw that His Majesty looked bad and did not know where his words were wrong, so he said in surprise and doubt.

"Liu Dutong, there are discussions in the court, but there is no conclusion. How can I be guilty?" Seeing this, Wang De, who was beside him, Lala Liu Zhixue winked.

"I am troubled by the mediocre people!" Zhao Bing looked at Liu Zhixue, snorted and turned into the cabin.

"Your Majesty is this..." Seeing that Your Majesty turned against you, Liu Zhixue was shocked and panicked, and hurriedly asked Wang De softly.

"Your Majesty is dedicated to protecting the general, but you have not only repeatedly wrote to apologize, but you mentioned this matter again and again just now when you met. Wouldn't you give someone a handle? Your Majesty is naturally unhappy!" Wang De bitched and explained softly, dodged and signaled him to go in quickly.

"Oh, so that's it!" Liu Zhixue understood now. His Majesty thought he was too unsatisfied, and his heart suddenly became clear and warm.

"Sit down!"

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Liu Zhixue entered the cabin and saw the little emperor sitting on the soft couch next to the window. There were two cups of tea on the short table. He knew that it was left to him by His Majesty, but he did not dare to sit aside. He stood by his hand with his hands down until His Majesty spoke before he thanked him and sat down.

"Oh!" Zhao Bing couldn't help but sigh when he saw his restrained appearance. As he grew up, he seemed to have a domineering spirit. The old people who used to share the joys and sorrows did not have the same intimacy as before when they saw him.

"Your Majesty, I have caused trouble for Your Majesty!" Liu Zhixue didn't know what the little emperor was thinking at this time. Seeing him sighing, he thought he was worried about his own affairs, and rubbed his hands nervously.

"You are my people. Even if you cause trouble, I will do my best to deal with you. Besides, I can't blame you for this incident. I will never refuse them to bully you!" Zhao Bing picked up the cup and drank a sip of water and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, I..." The words "You are my person" made Liu Zhixue feel that his eyes were hot, his throat was blocked, and he couldn't speak anymore. But the worries and worries that have been here these days have been swept away, and his heart is extremely open.

"Don't say nonsense, let me tell you about the things before and after the Battle of Shouzhou!" Zhao Bing put down the teacup and pointed to another cup to signal him to drink the teacup.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Zhixue picked up the cup and drank the tea and said, "At that time, his subordinates had approached Shouzhou. After receiving the order from His Majesty to seize Shouzhou as soon as possible, they urged their troops to advance to the city of Shouzhou. The enemy defenders were stubborn and refused to surrender, and they wanted to ambush our army. The moat in Shouzhou was deep and the walls were high, and the defenses were tight, so it was difficult to break the city for a while..."

"In order to arrive in Suzhou as soon as possible, you ordered the city to bombard the fire?" Zhao Bing asked in anger when he heard that he wanted to bombard the city with artillery.

"Your Majesty has an order, how dare I not obey it? There are swords and fires ahead and I have to break through. But to be honest, I am still a little selfish..." After Liu Zhixue replied, he wanted to speak but stopped, "Your Majesty also knew that the casualties of the city would be severe, so he thought of using artillery to attack the enemy troops defending the city and kill them on a large scale to reduce the resistance during the siege!"

"Well, protecting your soldiers is a general, and it is not selfish." Zhao Bing waved his hand and said, "But I heard that when formulating a siege plan, someone proposed that large-scale use of artillery may accidentally hurt the people in the city, but you did not listen to the advice and insisted on it. Is this a matter?"

"That was true that at that time, some people advised their subordinates to use artillery carefully to avoid injuring the people. However, their subordinates thought that military situation was like fire. If the delay of the Second Army led to the failure of the entire battle and even affected Your Majesty's great cause of the Northern Expedition, their subordinates were guilty. As long as the people in the city took up weapons to resist the Heavenly Master and helped the enemy defend the city, that would be our enemy. Even if they were shot dead by artillery fire, they would not be innocent. Therefore, they insisted on it. However, they did not expect that the artillery fire caused the city, and the enemy closed all the city gates, resulting in such a great casualty and injuries to the people. But if there was any punishment, my subordinates were willing to bear it with all their strength, and it had nothing to do with everyone!" Liu Zhixue knew that Your Majesty was willing to protect him, so he said the truth.

"I feel so relieved to take responsibility when taking the overall situation into consideration!" Zhao Bing nodded and praised.

"Your Majesty has praised you. Now I am notorious and everyone is afraid of it!" Liu Zhixue thought that even if His Majesty did not punish him heavily, he would definitely have to scold him, but unexpectedly he was praised and blushed and bowed.

"Haha, wouldn't it be a good thing for the enemy to escape when they heard your fame and flee!" Zhao Bing said with a laugh.

"But what my subordinates did have caused casualties to tens of thousands of people in Shouzhou City, causing public opinion to cause trouble to Your Majesty!" Liu Zhixue laughed dryly with embarrassment.

"You don't have to worry about this matter. Those people are Zhuang Gong dancing the sword and being in Pei Gong. It is you who impeached him. In fact, the spearhead is directed at me!" Zhao Bing smiled and took another sip of tea and looked at Liu Zhixuedao.

"Oh, who is bold and reckless, dares to be unfavorable to Your Majesty? I am willing to clear the emperor's side for Your Majesty!" Liu Zhixue's face turned solemn, and stood up to salute. He had long understood that when he entered the General's Mansion, he was already tied to the little emperor's warship, and he was already a unity of the king and his subjects, sharing honor and disgrace.

"You have this heart, I feel no comfort. As long as our king and ministers are united, why not be afraid of those clowns!" Zhao Bing pressed his hands and asked him to sit down and speak, "I have issued an order to order the Censorate to investigate strictly and punish those who destroy the Northern Expedition!"

"I thank Your Majesty for her protection, but I have the order. All my subordinates and the Second Army will follow you. Gods and ghosts will be killed even if they block the road!" Liu Zhixue understood that Your Majesty was trying hard to protect him and said politely again.

"Don't thank you anymore. Our king and his ministers have been through more than ten years of ups and downs and experiencing too much life and death. If you don't let me down, why would I let you down again?" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said.

"Yes, it's because of the pedantic subordinates. How can we provoke the friendship between the monarch and the ministers in just a few words!" Liu Zhixue sighed.

"Okay, you bombard the city with hundreds of artillery to break through Shouzhou. This is also a new artillery tactic. Let me tell you in detail first, and I will talk to you later to promote it to the entire army!" Zhao Bing brought the topic back to the war...
