Steel Dynasty - Chapter 646

[Chapter 645 Shocking the World]

“Father, what should I do about this… this…?”

In the main hall of Prince Yan’s Mansion, Cui Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and his body was shaking a little. He had just returned to Bozhou from Qingzhou a few days ago.

For this battle, Yan State sent all its elite troops, even the Cui family’s most elite Black Feather Army, but now all of the 170,000 soldiers are gone.

King Yan didn’t seem to hear Cui Hao’s words. He looked at the roof of the main hall, which looked like a clay sculpture.

At this moment, suddenly a group of officials ran into the main hall in panic. One official exclaimed, “Your Highness, the fourth prince has rebelled. The tribes of the Tian family and the Ji family have followed the fourth prince to seize the city gate. They are marching towards the city gate.” The palace is coming!”

“What!” Cui Hao almost jumped up in shock.

King Yan seemed to be waking up from a dream at this time. He was shocked and angry, “This white-eyed wolf, I have raised him for nothing these past few years. If I had known, I would have killed him when they fled to Bozhou!”

Then he asked Said: “How many people are there in total!”

An official said urgently: “Your Highness, the Tian family and the Ji family have been planning for a long time. This time they will lead the wealthy clans that are attached to them. There are more than 50,000 people in their tribe. Your Highness, if you don’t leave, they will We can’t leave.”

“Fifty thousand people! Father, there are only 25,000 Black Feathers left in the city, so they may not be their opponents,” Cui Hao said.

King Yan narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed crazily, “I made a mistake with Xiao Ming’s son. The Tian family and Ji family must not have the courage. Xiao Ming must have given them the promise. I didn’t expect that I would fight all day long.” Snake, but now he is bitten by a snake.”

At this time, the sounds of fighting between the Black Feather Army and the wealthy tribes could be heard outside the palace. A group of officials and generals said anxiously: “Your Highness, it is better to make a decision soon.”

King Yan sighed bitterly after hearing this. He said to Cui Hao: “Go to Yingzhou immediately. Your eldest brother is leading 70,000 soldiers in Yingzhou to defend the King of Huainan. Now it is the only place that is safe.”

“Yes, father.” Cui Hao said.

Chang’an, Chengqing Hall.

Sitting on the dragon chair, King Zhao looked down upon his ministers like an emperor. When the memorial of Yunzhou City’s defeat was sent to him, his heart could not help but beat a few times.

The officials and generals in the main hall were all looking at King Zhao. The news of the defeat of Yunzhou City had spread to Chang’an City with the merchants, and now they were all waiting for King Zhao’s decision.

Queen Zhao was sitting behind a beaded curtain holding the Thirteenth Prince, who was almost two years old. King Zhao was just King Zhao. When he went to court, Queen Zhao still had to take the Thirteenth Prince to listen to the government, but in fact she was just pretending to appease him. An old minister of Chang’an City.

When she heard the news about Yunzhou City, Queen Zhao behind the bead curtain showed a smile.

“The King of Yan and the King of Liang are really useless. Their 350,000-strong army can’t even attack Yunzhou City. Father, don’t worry. Even if the coalition forces are defeated, Xiao Ming’s army must be very tired. We should take advantage of now to capture Shu as soon as possible.” , must not be distracted by this matter!” Zhao Yuanliang said loudly.

King Zhao didn’t seem to hear Zhao Yuanliang’s words. He read: “Forty thousand black armor cavalry, this is my king’s black armor cavalry, 40,000 people are gone.”

Seeing King Zhao like this, the courtiers in the hall looked different.

Different.

When King Zhao came to take control of Chang’an, many ministers joined King Zhao’s command, but there were still some ministers who had to go to the court to serve King Zhao just to protect themselves.

Now that the Allied Forces of the Three Kings had suffered a huge defeat, they with their keen sense of smell suddenly realized that following King Zhao would not last long.

If the battle of Cangzhou was an accident, the battle of Jizhou was an accident, and the battle of Wei was still an accident, then the battle of Yunzhou City was inevitable.

Xiao Ming has proven time and time again that his army is invincible, but everyone is ignoring this. Now the failure of the Three Kings Alliance has completely awakened many people.

Looking at his somewhat rude father, Zhao Yuanliang suddenly said: “Let the court disperse.”

“Long live my emperor, long live, long live!”

After shouting, the ministers turned around and left, leaving the palace.

After all the officials left, Zhao Yuanliang asked cautiously: “Father.”

“Xiao Ming! I want to kill you!” At this moment, King Zhao suddenly drew his sword and slashed wildly at the chopping board in front of him.

The delicate chopping board was chopped by King Zhao’s sharp sword, causing sawdust to fly.

The Thirteenth Prince was frightened and suddenly burst into tears. Faced with King Zhao pretending to be crazy, Queen Zhao immediately protected the Thirteenth Prince and walked towards the inner palace.

Zhao Yuanliang didn’t dare to breathe. He knew his father’s temper very well. Whoever touched him at this time would suffer.

Suzaku Avenue.

The ministers who had left the court walked together in twos and threes, whispering to each other.

“This time the coalition forces are defeated, I wonder what Ge Zhongshu has to say?” Near the edge of Zhuque Avenue, there were three officials in purple uniforms walking side by side.

Judging from their official uniforms, all three of them are high-ranking officials in the court.

The person who asked the question was gray-haired and thin, and he was Yu Zhiyong, the Minister of Household Affairs at that time.

Ge Yiren squinted his eyes and glanced at Yu Zhiyong. After Fiji fled Chang’an, he was promoted to Zhongshu Ling.

This was not because he was deeply trusted by King Zhao, but because he was the oldest among the many officials in Chang’an City and was the top three official that year.

However, although he is Zhongshu Ling, he has no real power in his hands. In the past two years, it has been just a false name. The real government affairs are still handled by King Zhao’s people.

“Whether we win or lose, what does it have to do with us? No matter who is replaced in the Chengqing Palace in Chang’an City, don’t we still be our own officials?” Ge Yiren said lightly.

Ni Kuang, the Minister of Rites who was walking on the left side of Ge Yiren, shook his head and said: “What Ge Zhongshu said is wrong. Now the King of Qi has ascended the throne in Qingzhou with the late emperor’s imperial edict. If this imperial edict is true, he is the right one.” The new king of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and this new king has a weird temperament and is different from ordinary people. Even if he defeats King Zhao one day, he probably will not regard Chang’an as the capital.”

Yu Zhiyong nodded, “No, I met him a few days ago. To a businessman from Qingzhou, it is said that all the Chang’an officials who went to Qizhou are now serving in the feudal state of King Qi, and Fiji is now a member of the cabinet.

“What is this?” Ge Yiren asked.

“This cabinet was established by King Qi. It is said that there are more than six ministries. There are nine people in this cabinet to discuss national affairs. Now there are only two people in this cabinet, and there are still seven vacancies.” Yu Zhiyong added.

Ni Kuang said at this time: “Both of you, from what I see, this King of Qi has an unlimited future. He may not be the future emperor of the Chongqing Kingdom. Now we should make preparations earlier.”

Ge Yiren was also a little tempted after hearing this .

, He said he didn’t care, but who would think of leaving behind his official robe at that time.

Having been in official circles for many years, they understand the importance of respecting people.
