Emperor Mingzhen didn't sleep well last night. He always felt that Cao Ji was hiding something in his heart, because Cao Ji's face was as plain as water at ordinary times, but last night, he saw a little fear and confusion in his eyes, which had never been seen before.

Emperor Mingzhen got up early this morning and came to the main hall. He was arrogant and then called Tan Ge and Yue Zhenggang to the front of the car!

There was a silence in the main hall, and there were personal guards outside!

Yue Zhenggang and Tan Ge stood up with respect and sincerity, and then bowed down and said in unison: "Long live my husband to see my emperor!"

Emperor Mingzhen had a expressionless face and pondered for a moment. Before he smiled indifferently, he said, "Two dear friends, please calm down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yue Zhenggang and Tan Ge returned the gift and got up even after they returned.

Yue Zhenggang nodded and lowered his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, before raising his eyes and smiling indifferently, saying, "The emperor has not had a good rest in recent days. Why didn't he sleep for a while this morning? He called Weichen in the morning. I wonder what instructions did he give?"

"Love Yue!" Emperor Mingzhen stood up with his sleeves, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water. Then he drank it all, sighed and said, "I am exhausted both physically and mentally, so why don't I want to sleep a little longer? But last night and now, I always feel uneasy!"

"Emperor!" Tan Ge raised his eyes, clasped his fists and smiled, "Why is the emperor worried? You might as well say it out, so that Weichen and Lord Yue can solve the problem and solve it for a long time!"

"I called you here this morning, for this reason!" Emperor Mingzhen sighed lightly, saying that he went to look for Cao Ji alone last night, but Cao Ji had no news. He came back after a long time, and his expression and behavior were actually a bit strange and difficult to describe briefly.

"Your Majesty!" Yue Zhenggang's eyes were slightly condensed and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you worried about Cao Ji last night..."

"Yeah!" Emperor Mingzhen nodded and said, "Cao Ji has always served me closely and has always been considerate. But last night, I saw that he seemed to be extremely uncomfortable all over, so I was worried!"

Tan Ge nodded and pondered for a moment, then smiled indifferently and said, "The emperor is too worried. Now all the soldiers and guards in the east and west factories are under the command of Lord Yue. Even if Cao Ji has three heads and six arms, he still has no choice but to whistle and is not worth mentioning!"

"Mr. Tan, if it is so easy as you said, I will not call you two in a hurry early in the morning!" Emperor Mingzhen sighed and said, "Cao Ji is well versed in the way of being an official and always acts without any leakage. I used to be too fond of him, which led to a certain force both inside and outside the court. Lord. Tan, you have just entered the court and have not taken office in the court, so you don't know the depth of this!"

Emperor Mingzhen shook his head, sighed, and said, "In short, Cao Ji cannot be underestimated!"

"The emperor is wise!" Tan Ge clasped his fists, smiled ashamedly, and said, "It's the gentle minister who is reckless!"

Yue Zhenggang nodded and pondered for a moment, smiled slightly, and said with his fists: "Emperor, according to the old minister, Cao Ji had a second thought, but now we are marching outside, he will never dare to cause trouble at this time!"

"Mr. Yue, what if Cao Ji colluded with internal and external forces and colluded with the Tartars or foreign forces in the Western Regions?" Emperor Mingzhen was extremely wise, but he had never focused on governing the country before.

"The emperor's concerns are very reasonable!" Yue Zhenggang nodded, and then said in a calm voice, "But what Lord Tan said just now does have some truth. Now that the Wei minister has accepted all the staff of the East and West Factory, Cao Ji is alone, he doesn't think he can make a difference!"

"But you still have to be careful!" Emperor Mingzhen said in a deep voice.

"I obey the order!" Yue Zhenggang and Tan Ge said in unison.

"Okay, if nothing else, then step down!"

"Abide by the order!" Yue Zhenggang and Tan Ge retreated one after another.

The day is boring and long, Emperor Mingzhen is worried and melancholy, and the past is vivid in his mind. When he thinks about it, he can't help but have a lot of thoughts. He also thinks of countless loyal and brave men such as Chen Yuanyi who sacrificed their lives for the country. He can't help but feel even more sad!

Emperor Mingzhen sat alone like this, woke up and drank, and fell asleep after being drunk. Before he knew it, it was already night!

Emperor Mingzhen was still drunk, his eyes were sleepy, and scenes of bloody battles appeared in his mind. He even broke out in a cold sweat. Suddenly, a hurrying sound of kicking footsteps came from a distance!

Emperor Mingzhen suddenly woke up from his dream and looked up and saw that it was Tan Ge!

Tan Ge immediately knelt down and bowed: "Long live my husband to see my emperor!"

"Mr. Tan? It's you!" Emperor Mingzhen reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said lightly, "Let's flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Tan Ge stood up as he spoke.

Emperor Mingzhen looked at Tan Ge with anxiety, and remembered that he had come here just now, so he asked in a low voice: "Mr. Tan, I think you look not very good, can you report something?"

"Report to the emperor, there is indeed something important to report!" Tan Ge frowned slightly.

"Since there is something important, why don't you tell me?" Emperor Mingzhen asked hurriedly.

"Report to the emperor, just now, Fang Qingcheng was attacked by several small groups of Tartars!" Tan Ge said in a deep voice.

"What?" Emperor Mingzhen heard this, his drunkenness immediately dispersed, and asked in a voice, "Are there any casualties in our army?"

"Report to the emperor, it was reported that the number of Tartars was very small, but they had a very good karma and shooting skills. They left after being disturbed. There were about dozens of casualties in our army, but the enemy came and went without a trace!"

"Hmph!" Emperor Mingzhen snorted coldly and said, "These Tartars have always been good at fighting and attacking methods, which has always caused great headaches for our army!"

"But I'm very strange..." Emperor Mingzhen's eyes were slightly condensed, his eyebrows were tightened, and his face looked thoughtful.

"What's strange about the emperor?" Tan Ge asked.

"Fang Qingcheng has now been recovered by our army. There are very heavy troops inside and outside the city. In addition, there are many fortifications such as artillery and arrow towers!" Emperor Mingzhen shook his head and said in a narrow voice, "With this kind of defensive force, just Tartars, can they still imagine that they can re-siege the city and plunder the land?"

"The emperor is very analyzing!" Tan Ge said after hearing this, pondered for a moment, and said in a voice, "But now I don't know what their purpose is, and I still have to take one step at a time!"

"Oh!" Emperor Mingzhen sighed, looked back at Tan Ge, and asked, "Master Tan, but is Yue Aiqing leading his troops to resist?"

"Not bad!" Tan Ge nodded and said.
