"I will respectfully send you off to Your Highness."
All the officials stood up and saw each other off.
However, when Li Chen's figure disappeared from the scene, someone suddenly came back to his senses.
Zhang Biwu’s location has not been announced!
After the New Deal, the cabinet existed in name only, with all power divided among the three provincial departments. The adjustment plan just announced also made everyone realize that the East Palace had not eliminated all cabinet factions.
The position of the three provinces basically maintains a sixty-fourth split between the Eastern Palace and the cabinet factions.
The East Palace faction has a greater advantage, but it has not killed the cabinet with a single blow.
This is also in line with political norms.
After all, if Zhao Xuanji is not defeated, the cabinet faction must still have a need to exist.
You must know that most of the officials with high qualifications and rich experience in the imperial court are from the cabinet factions.
If people are forced to death because of their factional origins, then the three provinces may not be able to fill many people.
But everything else was normal, except that Zhang Biwu, one of the souls of the cabinet faction, was not assigned any position.
Everyone looked for Zhang Biwu with strange eyes, but only then did they realize that Zhang Biwu had disappeared without knowing when.
Zhao Xuanji stood up and gave Fu Yuzhi a look.
The two left in a hurry.
"Don't say anything, go back first, something big happened." Zhao Xuanji said in a deep voice.
Fu Yuzhi was extremely quick-thinking and asked, "But what happened when Chen Chuan came to report just now?"
Zhao Xuanji looked solemn and nodded.
Fu Yuzhi thought about it carefully and asked: "What can make the prince take his affairs so seriously... the vassal king causes chaos?"
"or···"
Thinking of another, more terrifying possibility, Fu Yuzhi's expression suddenly changed, "Liao Kingdom!?"
Zhao Xuanji turned around and glared at Fu Yuzhi fiercely, saying, "Didn't I tell you not to say anything!?"
Fu Yuzhi quickly shut up.
At this time, Zhao Xuanji had already walked out of the palace in a hurry.
Following Zhao Xuanji, Fu Yuzhi kept walking, but he only felt lightness under his feet, and his heartbeat continued to accelerate, so that he felt like his whole body was floating.
Because he thought of a terrible thing.
If it was really the Liao Kingdom that invaded, then it was obvious that the East Palace had just received the news, and how did Zhao Xuanji know about it?
Guess?
Or did you already know it in advance?
Not daring to think along this line of thought at all, Fu Yuzhi held her breath and concentrated, put aside many thoughts in her mind, and followed Zhao Xuanji closely.
The side hall of Xi Zheng Hall in the East Palace.
Li Chen came back with Chen Tong and Su Zhenting behind him.
"How long?" Li Chen asked without even taking a sip of tea.
Chen Tong looked heavy and said: "The news was delivered through the relay attack by the Qinggong masters of Jin Yiwei. The incident should have happened last night. Yueyang Pass was completely unprepared. Moreover, there were still remaining internal forces in Yueyang Pass who cooperated, which led to heavy losses at Yueyang Pass."
, when the news came, the number of casualties exceeded a thousand."
Su Zhenting next to him took a breath of air.
Even though he didn't know anything about the situation before, when he heard about Crescent Pass, he knew that the Liao Kingdom was sending troops.
Those 600,000 cavalrymen have always been a serious concern for the Qin Dynasty.
"Last night...it's been almost ten hours now."
Li Chen looked at Su Zhenting and asked: "Six hundred thousand Liao cavalry are holding the pass. If they attack the Crescent Pass at all costs, in General Su's opinion, how long can the Crescent Pass hold up?"
"Hard to say."
Su Zhenting immediately replied: "The main reason is that there are still residual internal forces in Crescent Pass. Now we don't know the specific situation on the front line at all. If there are many internal forces or their status is high enough, then there is no guarantee... Crescent Pass has been lost."
boom!
Li Chen punched the table with his fist and said word by word: "Zhao Xuanji!!!"
