Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

When the news of the defeat of the Qi army reached Jinling, the government and the opposition were shocked at the same time, but they also realized one thing.

It is difficult for the imperial court to recover Shu or Hanzhong, at least in the next twenty or thirty years, it is no longer able to use troops to the southwest.

This incident has made it difficult for many people to accept, how could things have become like this?

The Qi army has been defeated one after another, and the loss of troops has been lost, and someone must be responsible. In addition to the front-line generals, what about the rest of the people in the DPRK and China

? In the past, it was the former crown prince Jiang Cheng who took the blame, and now who should he turn to take the blame?

The courtier's gaze was inadvertently placed on Jiang Ningxian's body.

As the emperor, the final decision on the military and political affairs of the Qi State is the person, and no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to escape the blame.

Although no one dared to openly say things like "faint king" and "mediocre king", Jiang Ningxian's prestige was undoubtedly hit hard.

In order to cause more chaos, Hei Bingtai seized the opportunity to spread the word that Jiang Ningxian was the king of the fallen country in Jinling City.

Royal Palace, inside the main hall.

Jiang Ningxian's face was gloomy, and he was looking through the fold in his hand, and after seeing the above content, he suddenly threw the fold to the ground, and the surrounding palace people were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

"Another one, let me enable Liu Zhijie as soon as possible. Could it be that without Liu Zhijie, Li Zhao would have entered Jinling?" Jiang Ningxian said sharply.

In just a few days, nearly 100 letters have been sent from all over the country, and nearly half of them are in it, hoping that the imperial court will use Liu Zhijie as soon as possible to deal with Li Zhao's Zhaowu army.

In the eyes of Qi officials, Liu Zhijie is the strongest sword of Qi State, undefeated in his life, and his military exploits are amazing. It is unreasonable to leave it unused now, no matter how you look at it.

When Li Zhao had not invaded Shu before, the people of Jinling did not care about him. thought that sending tens of thousands of troops at random would be enough to wipe it out.

But now that things are obviously out of control, Li Zhao has always been ambitious, and it is estimated that it will not be long before more than 100,000 Zhaowu troops will attack the Qi State.

If it weren't for the strong naval army of the Qi State, the warships of the Zhaowu Army would have been able to go down the river and reach Jinling directly.

The second prince Jiang Yan and the third prince Jiang Yu also went to the imperial court and proposed to appoint Liu Zhijie as the commander as soon as possible to lead the troops to guard against the Zhaowu army.

As for entering Shu again, there is no longer any expectation. After all, Liu Zhijie is over seventy years old, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to cross the cliff again.

Although Jiang Ningxian is reluctant to use Liu Zhijie, in order to appease people's hearts, he has to make a show.

Soon, he personally led people to Liufu.

The palace people knocked on the door for a long time, but the gate of Liufu was not opened for a long time.

It wasn't until Jiang Ningxian was about to lose patience that the door of the mansion slowly opened.

Liu Sixing, the eldest son, walked out of the mansion and saluted: "The minister sees Your Majesty."

"There is no need to be polite, General Zhuguo has been in good health recently. Jiang Ningxian smiled.

"Your Majesty Xie cares, and my father's health is okay.

Jiang Ningxian nodded slightly, "That's good." Now that the state affairs are difficult, I still need to rely on the old generals to help me. "

They have all come to the outside of the mansion, Liu Sixing thought that the emperor was going to enter the mansion for a while, but he never thought that Jiang Ningxian would take people back to the palace after greeting him, and he didn't plan to see Liu Zhijie at all.

...............................................................................................................

"Father, it seems that the emperor does not intend to use you. After Liu Sixing returned to the house, he said to Liu Zhijie.

Liu Zhijie smiled coldly, "Let him go." "

Zhang Yanxia is defeated, besides you, who does the emperor plan to let deal with the Zhaowu army?"

"Outside Jinling City, the commanders of the two major battalions in the north and south, Zhang Feng and Yang Hanwen are all generals, and they were also hand-picked by the emperor himself, so they should be planned to be sent."

Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Sixing said in a low voice: "What the son said before, what did the father think about."

Liu Zhijie's face was solemn, and he looked at Liu Sixing fixedly, "In my opinion, Jiang Yu's talent is similar to Jiang Ningxian's. What's more, you underestimated the emperor's control over military power.

"If the three princes want to sit on the dragon chair, they don't necessarily have to get military power. Liu Sixing's eyes were strange.

Liu Zhijie suddenly understood, and said unhappily: "Throughout the ages, if you are not a child of the royal family, the monarch killer has never ended well.

Jiang Yu promised his son many times that as long as he helped him ascend to the throne, he would immediately reuse his father.

"My Liu family can help him, but if you want to kill the king, you must not get involved. After a pause, Liu Zhijie continued: "Now that Li Zhao's power has been established, it is impossible for the emperor to attack my family again.

Liu Zhijie suddenly felt a trace of sadness in his heart, he had thought of many ways before, how to let the Liu family escape the emperor's suppression. But he couldn't have imagined that because of Li Zhao's incident, the Liu family escaped the catastrophe.

Now, it doesn't matter who is the emperor. As long as the threat of the Zhaowu Army is still there, the Liu family can be safe and sound.

The reason why Liu Zhijie did not open the door to the emperor for a long time was because he was sure that the emperor would not dare to do anything to him.

Liu Sixing sighed: "Actually, my Liu family has many choices, but I guess my father will not agree." The second brother sent a letter from Shudi, in which he said that Li Zhao was wise and martial, and he was worthy of refuge. "

He has been under house arrest by Li Zhao, how can he send a letter?"

The son said so much, hoping that his father would reconsider. Liu Sixing's expression became serious, "The world has changed, and it's time for my Liu family to make a choice." "

Let's talk about it later!" Liu Zhijie said lightly.

Recently, in addition to suggesting that Liu Zhijie should command the army, the ministers of the DPRK and China have also proposed on many occasions at court meetings that a new crown prince should be appointed as soon as possible in order to stabilize the people's minds.

Many people no longer trust Jiang Ningxian and put the future of Qi Guo on the successor.

Jiang Ningxian noticed the rumors in the middle of the court, and his heart became more and more annoyed.

A few days later, Jiang Ningxian issued an edict that Yang Hanwen, the commander of the Beida Battalion, would be in charge of the war in the west, and that Zhang Yanxia would be allowed to continue to stay in the west to resist the Zhaowu army.

Yang Hanwen quickly entered the palace to thank him, and swore to heaven that he would block Li Zhao in Qutang Pass.

The emperor's move once again caused controversy among the ministers, and the court and China quarreled.

Zhou Zhaopeng knew the emperor's thoughts, and entered the palace to meet Jiang Ningxian; Yan Liu Zhijie didn't have long to live, so it was better to give him a chance and let him exert his spare heat. For example, he can be asked to assist Yang Hanwen and give him advice, but he will not give Liu Zhijie military power.

Even if he said so, Jiang Ningxian still refused to use Liu Zhijie.

Just as Yang Hanwen was actively preparing for the war, a piece of news reached Jinling, and the Zhaowu army was killed!
