Princess Consort Is No Pushover

As soon as the soldier came in, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the city of Yanzhou has been occupied by Feng Lingtian, and King Jin's subordinates fought stubbornly, fighting and retreating, and still killed and injured more than 20,000 people. King Jin is now bringing 20,000 The remnant soldiers retreated to the outskirts of the city, and Yanzhou City is now occupied by Feng Lingtian's people. Feng Ling is brutal by nature, after he attacked the city, in order to reward his subordinates, he let the barbarians of Tiansheng Kingdom burn, kill and loot the common people , Doing all kinds of evil, King Jin really can't hold on, and once again asks the emperor to send troops for reinforcements!"

"How dare he slaughter my people and occupy my Yanzhou! Eunuch Xu, quickly draw up an imperial decree for me, and I will order King Li to fight immediately!" Emperor Hongyuan said angrily.

At this time, Li Jinzhong, who was serving tea next to him, said: "Your Majesty, King Li is not willing to fight at all. If he is forced to fight, I am afraid he will have resentment and will not sincerely work for the emperor. According to my servant, His Highness Li Wang The refusal to fight must be due to the anti-poetry case. I am afraid we must first clear his name and return his innocence before he is willing to fight!"

"What innocence? Li Jinzhong, do you mean that I blame King Li by mistake?" Emperor Hongyuan said coldly.

Li Jinzhong hurriedly said: "The emperor appeases his anger, that's not what this slave means."

"You think I can only rely on Chu Xuanchen? I am a mighty state of Chu, with tens of millions of people, outstanding people, and talented people. Is it possible that only Chu Xuanchen can be used? Don't you even have a brave general? I can call other generals Go." Emperor Hongyuan was so angry that he slapped his palm on the imperial case and roared angrily.

Li Jinzhong said: "But your majesty, this time the opponent is the treacherous and treacherous Feng Lingtian, not someone else. We had several outstanding generals who were defeated by Feng Lingtian when they fought against Feng Lingtian. Only His Highness Li Wang Only then can we defeat him. What if we arrange for a random general to go this time, and we suffer a disastrous defeat like before? This battle is of great importance, and we cannot afford to lose. Looking at Chu, it seems that there is really no one except His Royal Highness Li Wang Can compete with Feng Lingtian!"

Li Jinzhong said so, but he was thinking in his heart.

It's not that there are no talents in Chu State. Chu State clearly has a lot of talents, but they have been buried and no one is available now.

Emperor Hongyuan was mediocre. When he first usurped the throne, in order to eliminate differences and consolidate the throne, he killed and belittled many talented people who were loyal to the former emperor, and reused his group of treacherous villains, which caused the talents of Chu to wither!

Hundreds of officials such as Su Ming and others, followed each other, practiced cronyism, accepted benefits to promote treacherous officials, and made the court a mess, so that the real talents were buried!

Emperor Hongyuan sighed, "Without outstanding generals, I can win in numbers. Feng Lingtian has 50,000 people, right? I can send 150,000 people to fight, and we have more troops than Feng Lingtian three Times, I don't believe I can't kill him!"

"But Your Majesty, the total strength of our Chu State is only more than 400,000, and they are stationed in various places. Not to mention that we will not be able to mobilize so many troops for a while. If we really mobilize 150,000 troops, the border will be tight at that time. Other countries will take advantage of this opportunity and invade the imperial city." Li Jinzhong said.

"Hey!" Emperor Hongyuan sighed heavily.

Then he snorted coldly, "Hmph, this is not allowed, and that is not allowed. It is really not possible. At worst, I will put Princess Li and their children under house arrest, threaten Chu Xuanchen to fight, and see if he agrees to fight!" Emperor Hongyuan said sinisterly.

Li Jinzhong hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. This concubine Li and the child are the bottom line of King Li. If the emperor does this, I'm afraid it will anger King Li. King Li is arrogant by nature and has never been able to bear it. He cherishes him so much." His wife and children, if the emperor threatens him with his wife and children, I'm afraid he will be desperate because he has no other way out, and it would be bad if he dies."
