It is impossible for a smart man like Zhuge Liang to not understand the emperor's methods.

But as a minister, what can he do?

This world is destined to be His Majesty's world. No one can touch it, and no one's rights can override the imperial power or be on par with His Majesty's power.

For this reason, Zhuge Liang would not blame the emperor for his actions, on the contrary, he would appreciate it very much.

This is the quality that an overlord should have. Not letting anyone's existence affect his central power is one of the most basic elements of being an emperor.

Only an emperor with such absolute courage can lead his ministers on the road to unify the world.

Zhuge Liang accepted the emperor's reward willingly and planned to take a leisurely rest after the war to recharge his batteries and devote himself to his family and country better.

This side of the capital.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials were waiting attentively in Chengde Hall for the latest battle report.

They haven't gone home for a day or two.

Because a battle report came from the Chu State's front the day before yesterday, saying that Bai Qi personally led an army of 100,000 to the southern barbarian land of the Chu State. This battle was sworn to defeat the Chu State.

For this reason, Bai Qi has already prepared too much in the early stage.

Before he personally led the army to attack the Southern Barbarians, he had already sent several groups of troops to attack the Southern Barbarians, but unfortunately, all of them failed.

After summarizing the lessons of all failures, the soldiers used the corpses and blood bones to finally find a way out of the Southern Barbarians.

Now, Bai Qi wants to walk on the corpses of the Paoze brothers who died fighting for the country and flatten the Southern Barbarians.

Zhao Changqing doesn't care about the process.

To be honest, being wrapped in horse leather and being loyal to the country is the most honorable destination for a soldier. He will only remember the soldiers who died for himself and the Wei Dynasty, but he will not always be obsessed with the past. He can truly

The best way to avenge the dead brothers of Paoze is to finish the road they have not finished.

Maybe the world will say that Zhao Changqing has become cruel and ruthless, but in fact, he has always been like this. This is something that needs to be done for the emperor, and it is even more sad.

It would take about seven or eight days to send the battle report from Chu State to Luoyang, even if you rode a fast horse and traveled day and night.

This is still an expert’s itinerary.

Therefore, after the battle report arrived in Luoyang, it already meant that Bai Qi had been marching for many days.

In fact, having said that, the only country in the world that can support multi-front operations is the current Wei State.

But even so, the country cannot make ends meet.

Zhao Changqing accompanied the civil and military officials in the Chengde Hall to wait for the news.

As soon as the battle report came out, Zhao Changqing wanted the six departments of the country to operate quickly to maintain the next plan. At the same time, he also put the finishing touches to the recent war. Therefore, he needed the help of civil and military officials as soon as possible.

Own.

This is also the reason why they are allowed to stay in the palace for food and accommodation.

A few days later, it was still the same.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace have been very careful in their behavior recently.

After all, all the big guys in the country eat, drink and live in the palace. If you are not careful, your life will be at risk!

At the same time, they could also guess that something that would make so many big guys in the temple prepare for it must be a big event.

I even wonder if the current Wei State has been invaded again?

I have heard from history that the Wei State was once humiliated by foreign powers, and I don’t know if it is for this reason that the current Wei State has once again entered a precarious moment.

In short, everything was discussed, but it was just a private discussion. If some ministers heard about it, it would be better to be careful about what you say if you want to behead someone.

Because of the actions of the civil and military officials, everyone smelled an extraordinary aura, which made everyone feel tense.

The concubines in the harem took turns coming to Chengde Hall to deliver three meals a day.

This is so that the ministers can remember His Majesty's kindness. As His Majesty's woman, she naturally has to be considerate of His Majesty's subordinates.

Only when subordinates are grateful can the country be stable.

The ministers ate the meals sent by the emperor's concubines with great enjoyment, not to mention the joy in their hearts.

This is so flattering. How many ministers have been treated like this throughout the ages?

I don’t know why, but there are so many battle reports coming in from all over the place today.

First, Chen Qingzhi was defeated in the field. This was the news from a scout. From a long distance away, his shouting and screaming could be heard in the Chengde Palace.

"The King of Jin was defeated and trapped in the Wuding River. General Xiao Yuming rushed to rescue him, but was ambushed by the Liang army!"

Afraid that others would not know, the two brothers lost the battle together.

This is the news that Zhuge Liang ordered to be sent to the court. It can be imagined how complicated and dangerous this matter is. After all, it makes him worried. If he wants to tell the court as soon as possible, he will definitely fail.

It will be simple.

Zhao Changqing received the secret report from the scout through the eunuch, ordered the scout to go down to rest, and then told the people in the Ministry of War: "In the name of the Ministry of War, we inform all the armies that if there is news of defeat, they must keep it secret.

That scout made a lot of noise, and when he discovered such a thing, he was beheaded."

Xu Ming, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up, bowed and replied: "I obey the decree."

Zhao Changqing nodded after hearing this, sat on the dragon chair, and read the battle report written by Zhuge Liang himself.

It is said that there was a counselor in the Liang Kingdom named Li Yijun. He was good at all kinds of conspiracies. It was because the King of Jin despised the Liang Kingdom that they plotted against him and defeated Ueno County.

After seeing the whole story, Zhao Changqing felt a little depressed and asked a eunuch beside him to pass the letter to all the ministers to read.

Then, he felt a little headache about this matter and couldn't help but rub his head.

It happened that at this time, the two concubines Zhen Mi and Wang Zhaojun led the maids to bring in today's lunch. They noticed that the atmosphere in the hall was rather depressed. For a moment, the two concubines did not know what to do.

It makes His Majesty and all the civil and military officials look serious. I'm afraid something bad has happened.

Faced with such an occasion, they did not dare to say anything. They just did their own thing silently and ordered the maids to bring lunch to the ministers.

Zhao Changqing had been watching the movements of the palace ladies, and what he was thinking about was Chen Qingzhi.

He was really depressed.

I thought that the first military report could be good news, but I didn't expect that there was bad news.

He took a deep breath, already having a verdict on the matter, and said: "Prince Jin! The defeat was caused by underestimating the enemy. I think this prince has been doing it for too long, and it has been so long that he has forgotten a war.

How to fight?"

The officials did not dare to eat. They all fell silent and did not dare to breathe.

Seeing this scene, all the eunuchs and maids staying in the Chengde Palace were almost sweating on their cheeks.

Although they have been staying in the palace, they have never seen so many big shots.

I heard people say that these people standing here right now are the real masters of the Wei Kingdom.

The person who manages these masters of the Wei Kingdom is His Majesty the Emperor.

With all these big guys looking like they are facing a formidable enemy, how could they, the little guys, not be affected?

Even as the emperor's women, Zhen Mi and Wang Zhaojun were a little panicked.

Zhao Changqing suddenly stood up and said seriously: "Order Zhuge Liang to stop pursuing the remnants of the Tang and Duan Kingdoms, and rescue Chen Qingzhi at all costs. But having said that, after all, the King of Jin made a mistake and must not go unpunished. He ordered Chen Qingzhi to be killed.

He went to the throne and was demoted to the Duke of Jin, and ordered him to reorganize his old army and show the majesty of the white-robed ghost general. And I told Chen Qingzhi that as a general, I don't want him to always rest on his past achievements.

On the books waiting to die!"

After hearing the emperor's voice, all the civil and military officials shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Although he seemed relatively calm and composed on the surface, inside he was already trembling with fear.

The emperor's methods are so ruthless!

Who is Chen Qingzhi? He made great contributions to the expansion of the territory of the Wei Kingdom. Now, he was kicked off the throne so indifferently?

This king with a different surname has not been a prince for a long time, right?

Don’t they all say among themselves, the kings and ministers, that they are just like brothers?

Moreover, Chen Qingzhi has been with His Majesty since childhood...

This...I'm just punishing you, there's no mercy at all!

General Chen Qingzhi has been invincible for so long, but after just one defeat, he is about to be kicked off the throne. It is really tragic.

The emperor's methods were too strong.

Such a good relationship between king and minister, if you don't give it a chance, you won't give it a chance.
