General Zhendong, who stayed at the Zhongduhu Mansion but had never been to court before, took the initiative to request to enter the palace to meet the emperor for the first time, and it was not before going to court.

Secretary Zhang's eyes fell on the envelope on the desk.

General Guan glanced at her, said nothing, and continued to dress himself.

Secretary Zhang glanced at General Guan, walked to the desk, and turned to look at General Guan.

General Guan was fastening his belt and did not look at her.

Secretary Zhang reached out and picked up the letter, then turned to look at it.

General Guan was putting on his outer robe and did not look at her.

Secretary Zhang opened the letter. There were only a few words in the letter:

"The military affairs of the government are under the supervision of the fine king. I will bear all the consequences."

Isn’t this just nonsense!

Who doesn’t know General Zhendong, who stayed behind to guard the Central Dufu and oversee the military affairs of the Central Government?

But Secretary Zhang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

It is only four sentences and fifteen words, but it gives people an inexplicable sense of stability.

The letter didn't seem to say anything, but Alang had people work hard to send such a few nonsense words back, which is enough to explain everything.

Secretary Zhang raised the letter in his hand and finally showed some relief on his face:

"Sister, how could Alang know about Bingzhou so quickly?"

Logically speaking, the government should have just sent the news to Caoqiao Pass.

Even if he flew, Alang wouldn't be able to send the letter back right away.

General Guan stretched out his hands and buckled the copper buckle at his waist.

“Click!

A handsome and handsome young man appeared.

He has a tall and tall figure, arms and waist, a calm and resolute face, and eyes like deep ancient pools.

Coupled with the noble purple clothes that only important officials in the court are qualified to wear, there is a long sword hanging on the waist, the hilt of the sword is wrapped with gold thread and inlaid with jade.

In this outfit, walking on Zhangtai Street will attract countless women to watch.

General Guan held the long sword at his waist with his left hand and said:

"I don't know. But when I come to Bingzhou, someone should have sent the news in advance."

If it were General Guan himself, she would do the same thing.

Deng Zhi was a right-guard general, so he didn't even have this sensitivity.

He could send the news to Chang'an, and naturally he could also find a way to send the news directly to Alang.

As one of the few remaining veterans of the Han Dynasty, Deng Zhi didn't have to be afraid of Wei Yan, nor did he have to worry about what anyone in the palace would think of him.

A loyal minister in his sixties has worked tirelessly over the years and has been leading troops to defend the country's borders. What else do you want from others?

If you really want to return to Chang'an and enter the palace to see the emperor, the emperor will have to stand up to greet you and ask you to sit down.

This is the benefit of seniority.

"Open the gate, swing the car and drive!"

The gate of General Zhendong's Mansion, which has always been closed, heard a rare rumble today, and the heavy door was slowly opened.

General Zhendong stepped out of the gate, climbed down the steps, took the horse rein from the guard, and got on his horse.

"drive!"

"Da da da!"

The cavalry guards who had been waiting for a long time escorted General Zhendong towards the palace.

Many people living nearby not only saw the open doors of Zhendong General's Mansion for the first time, but also saw General Zhendong for the first time.

When women or girls saw the face of General Zhendong clearly, many of them immediately felt like deers, and some even had their cheeks flushed red unconsciously.

"Is that General Zhendong? I heard that he is more beautiful than any other woman in the world. He is called Hua Guansuo, and he is indeed named as he is!"

Looking at the formation that was gradually receding, I felt that the nobility that had just come over me was still as if it was condensed and lingering for a long time.

Some people couldn’t help but grit their teeth and stamp their feet:

"A rare good man from the Han family has taken advantage of a barbarian girl! Damn it! Damn it!"

He twisted the silk cloth in his hands so hard that it almost broke.

General Zhendong came to the gate of Weiyang Palace and handed over the talisman to prove his identity.

Responsible for leading the Little Yellow Gate, he also couldn't help but glance at General Guan several times.

Because before he was sent here, he saw the words "beautiful appearance" written on it in the book that recorded the appearance of General Zhendong.

I was still a little curious at first, thinking about what kind of outstanding person General Zhendong was, so that he could be worthy of these four words.

After seeing the real person at this time, I finally felt enlightened, and then I felt that it was natural - probably only this kind of person deserves those four words.

"General Guan, please come this way. Your Majesty knew that the general was going to enter the palace, so he had already asked me to wait here for a long time."

General Guan nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Bypass the front hall used for court meetings and follow the small yellow gate to Xuanshi Hall.

Xuanshi Hall is the place where the emperor personally handles important affairs and summons important ministers.

"Xuan, General Zhendong, have an audience!"

General Zhendong took off his sword, took off his shoes, walked in, kowtowed and saluted:

"My lord, please pay homage to your majesty. May your majesty live long and be happy forever!"

Adou, who was sitting on it, stretched out his hand to help: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"General Zhendong, please sit down."

Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, and Dong Yun, who were on duty at the central government office in the front hall of Weiyang Palace, had arrived early.

Wendong, Wuxi, and General Zhendong did not sit in the same row with them, but walked to the opposite side of them and prepared to take their seats.

Just before taking his seat, he glanced at General Guan Xing, who was sitting below him, without leaving any trace.

General Zhendong's figure froze slightly.

Guan Xing, watch your nose with your eyes, watch your heart with your nose, and sit upright.

When General Guan sat down, Adou managed to squeeze out a smile:

"As soon as the urgent report from the Shangdang arrived, I thought about sending someone to the Central Protectorate. Unexpectedly, General Zhendong sent an invitation to the palace first, which saved me a lot of trouble."

Upon hearing this, General Guan leaned forward in his position and said slowly:

"I have been entrusted by the Central Protector to stay at the Central Protector's Mansion. I dare not neglect the military and state affairs in the slightest."

The voice was neither urgent nor slow, but it made the smile on Adou's face become more awkward.

The originally round and chubby face had lost some weight due to the restless sleep and eating these days, and even his face looked a little haggard and gray.

The little fat man before now no longer looked as happy as before.

Seeing that everyone was here, Adou coughed and started to raise issues:

"I think you all know about the Shangdang matter. This time, I summoned you here because I want to ask you for advice on how to repel the enemy at the moment."

As A Dou spoke, he glanced around.

But seeing the positions of generals, Guan Suo, Guan Xing, Zhao Guang...

There is no one who is not a young person to be feared, and there is no one who is old.

Thinking about the current Han Dynasty, the only ones who can still lead the army at their old age are Wei Yan and Deng Zhi.

Next were Chen Dao and Wu Ban.

It's just that these four people can be generals but difficult to be commanders.

Recalling that before the death of my father-in-law, I entrusted him to Feng Mingwen instead of Wei Yan, it was indeed a foresight.

I regret that I should have tampered with my father-in-law’s arrangements!

While Adou was reflecting, his eyes fell on Jiang Wan, the eldest minister.

Jiang Wan looked at General Zhendong and said:

"The Governor of the Central Protectorate oversees the internal and external military affairs. Although the Central Protector is not here now, General Zhendong remains in the palace. I wonder if General Zhendong has any good ideas?"

General Zhendong shook his head:

"Not yet. The change in Shangdang was too sudden. In such a hurry, I can only guess that the thieves were probably well prepared."

"According to the news, Wei Wenchang ordered his son to guard Gaodu, and he led most of the soldiers back to the north to recapture his eldest son."
