Imperial city, palace.

It was not yet dawn, but all the people in the palace had gotten up and became busy.

The eunuchs and palace maids serve their masters, and they sweep them all the time, everything is as usual.

However, the atmosphere in this palace is different from before.

Everyone's face was tense, worried and scared.

The war has begun.

Liaoyuan made a surprise attack, and the attack caught them off guard.

Especially, this place where the raid was not another place, but Lizhou.

Lizhou, who has no troops.

Lizhou is very close to the imperial city. If you are not careful, you will soon arrive at the imperial city. Do you think they are afraid?

However, no matter how afraid they are, no one in the court is, they are afraid of them.

At this time, the court.

The civil and military officials stood below, holding notes in their hands, lowered their heads and bent their bodies, and did not dare to make a sound.

On the dragon throne, the emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon cannon, sitting on it, looking at the civil and military officials below.

He did not laugh or speak, but his regency was fully revealed.

"What? The family of Zhongqing's family can argue about a trivial matter on weekdays. Today, the enemy is in front of you, why are you all silent?"

The emperor slowly said this sentence, which fell into the court officials' ears, but they all lowered their heads one by one.

Now even breathing lighter.

Liaoyuan raided Lizhou and cut off Emperor Lin in half. The prince was at Yunan Pass and fought against Liaoyuan's 200,000 troops, but he could not get to Lizhou.

Lizhou has no military strength. One of the Minzhou on both sides has military strength, but Minzhou is next to Nanjia, and it is impossible for it to bring the military strength there.

On the other side, Guzhou is also a place where there is no military force, and no military force comes there.

The last one is Qizhou ahead.

But Qizhou also has no troops.

The imperial city has troops, but it has to protect the imperial city. If the troops on the imperial city go to Lizhou and Liaoyuan comes up with other ways to raid from other places, what can the imperial city do?

Therefore, the current raid in Liaoyuan has stumped all the ministers.

The emperor looked at the courtiers who were quieter below, "Hmm?"

"Everyone is mute?"

The emperor's voice was heavier than before, like the eve of a storm, with a strong oppression.

The cold sweat broke out from the courtiers' foreheads, and it was even faster.

Some timid people trembled directly.

The Regal is not something that everyone can bear.

When the emperor saw that he almost lowered his head to his neck, his eyes were sharp, and his eyes swept across the faces of the people who were most happy on weekdays, and then he stayed on one person's face, "He Aiqing, tell me, what about the current situation, what about my Emperor's destiny?"

When the minister who was named heard this, his legs suddenly became weak and he almost fell to the ground.

"My...My..."

It took me a long time to say that.

The emperor turned his eyes and looked at the other person, "Zong Aiqing, what do you think?"

The minister who was named trembled and said tremblingly: "My teacher..."

There is no sound behind it.

The emperor's eyes suddenly became cold, "So, He Aiqing and Zong Aiqing, who are the best at solving their problems, are not doing well today?"

When they heard this, the two of them flicked their waists and knelt on the ground with a thud, "Prince forgive me!"

"Ha, forgive me? You haven't even said that, why did you let me forgive me?"

"I am useless, please forgive me!"

"Useless? You finally admit that you are useless."

"OK!"

"It's really good!"

The emperor slapped the armrest of the dragon chair, stood up, and looked at the people who were lowered and silent, "Retreat!"

"Retreat the court--!"

Eunuch Lin bowed and the emperor left the court.

Suddenly, the tightness of oppression, crampedness, and suffocation was no longer there.

In the court, the frightened court officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, kept shaking their heads, and left the court.

Since Liaoyuan sent troops, the atmosphere in the court has become worse.

Yesterday, when I learned that Liaoyuan was raiding Lizhou, the court became a place like purgatory.

On weekdays, the man who didn't know how to wink was attacked by the emperor at this time.

If there is no remediation now, when will it be?

Soon, the ministers left, but the two kneeling on the ground still did not respond.

It’s not that they don’t want to react, but that they are so scared that their legs are weak and they can’t get up.

The Emperor just said that they wanted their heads.

Almost, their heads moved!

You said, how can you avoid weak legs?

However, just as the court officials left one after another, an old minister went to the imperial study room.

The emperor returned to the imperial study and his anger spread.

"What shouldn't be said is said, but what should be said is not a fool. What's the point of saying it is useless?!"

The emperor sat in the chair with anger on his face.

Eunuch Lin hurriedly made tea and delivered it to the emperor, "Emperor, drink a little tea to calm down."

The emperor took the teacup and took a sip.

When Eunuch Lin saw it, it was too late to stop it.

This is just brewed tea, and it’s scalded!

Sure enough, the emperor put his mouth in his mouth with a mouthful of tea and immediately spit it out, followed by, bang-!

The tea cup fell to the ground, and the hot tea water spilled all over the floor.

Eunuch Lin knelt on the ground, "Prince forgives me!"

The emperor was already very angry, but now he was scalded by tea, which made him even more very angry.

He stood up and pointed at Eunuch Lin, "You old guy, you are getting back to life!"

Eunuch Lin's voice was filled with crying, "The emperor is relieved, it is all the fault of the old slave, it is all the fault of the old slave..."

He was the same today, and his mind was not good enough, so he even sent hot tea.

With such a big fire from the emperor, I should have cold tea.

He is really going back and forth as he lives.

Hearing his aggrieved voice, the emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Kneel outside and kneel outside, I feel annoyed!"

"yes!"

Eunuch Lin hurriedly knelt outside, really not hesitating at all.

When the emperor saw him like this, something seemed to be stuck in his heart, unable to get out, unable to disappear, and felt so uncomfortable.

This old guy really made things difficult for him!

Eunuch Lin knelt outside, but did not forget the broken tea cup inside.

It's going to be cleaned up.

He asked the eunuch to go in and clean up the teacup inside, so don't slap the emperor.

The little eunuch stood outside and naturally heard the emperor inside get angry.

Now even Eunuch Lin is coming out to kneel down. Can't he give his head a shit when he goes in?

The young father-in-law was immediately embarrassed, "Father-in-law, little..."

When Eunuch Lin saw his appearance, he knew what he was thinking, and suddenly sterned, "What? Do you want to stab the emperor?"

"Our family tells you that the emperor is going to be injured, and you and my head will have to move today!"

The little eunuch was frightened and hurriedly said, "Go here to clean up!"

Go in quickly.

Eunuch Lin is relieved.

However, he leaned into the imperial study room and listened to the movement inside to see if the emperor inside was still angry.

At this moment, a voice fell into Eunuch Lin's ears.
