Three hours later, a letter of urgent need for eight hundred miles on the frontier was already placed on the table in the imperial study. After the huge desk, Yan Zhi’s face was extremely difficult to see. The unconcealed anger made her face slightly distorted, and her deep eyes were filled with hostility.
A man kneeled on the ground in front of the desk. The man was wrapped in black tight clothes, looking slender and thin. The blood wrapped around him showed his unusualness.
“Is this news reliable?”
“Report to Her Majesty the Queen, it’s true. I have been verified by someone. Mocheng, the northernmost city, is about to be lost, and many refugees have fled to the south of the Yangtze River.”
“It’s outrageous. There’s no news about such an important matter!”
“His Majesty the Queen, the situation ahead is strange and unpredictable. If my subordinates hadn’t just met the escaped soldier, they wouldn’t have known about this.”
“You did a good job, go down first and go and receive the reward yourself.”
“Yes!”
The man quickly stepped out. Yan Zhi sat upright at the desk, picked up the letter and read it carefully, his face becoming more and more serious. After a long time, he snorted coldly, “Liuli Kingdom wants to have bad thoughts, and he is really impatient to live.”
Yan Zhi threw the letter on the huge mahogany table, leaned on the chair and closed his eyes slightly. After a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes, shining in her eyes, and ordered outside: “Come, General Xuanlin and the Minister of War come to see me! In addition, let Prime Minister Fang come together.”
Not long after, the rest of the people who received the order hurried over, and the atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became heavy.
The Minister of War quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Fang Zhenghong next to him with a searching gaze, feeling nervous, wondering what big thing happened to His Majesty the Queen suddenly summoned them?
While he was guessing the holy intention in his heart, Yan Zhi shouted sternly: “Shangshu Chen, do you know your guilt!”
The Minister of War was confused, and his first reaction was to kneel down on the ground.
“My…I…I don’t know…”
Yan Zhi snorted coldly and threw the letter on the table on the face of the Minister of War.
“You have a good look!”
The Minister of War picked up the letter tremblingly, and even his hands holding the letter paper were trembling. After seeing the contents of the letter, his face was already as cold as a dish, and even his legs began to tremble.
Yan Zhi looked at him coldly, “How? Chen Aiqing? Why didn’t I hear any news after such a big incident? If someone hadn’t sent this letter to me, I would have to wait until the Tartars of Liuli Kingdom came to the imperial capital to know! Is it because the Ministry of War has nothing to do in recent years that Chen Aiqing has become tired? Hum?!”
The questioning was thrown at the Minister of War who was so scared that he almost urinated his pants. He kept kowtowing, “Damn my dear! Damn my dear!”
“You really deserve to die! You don’t know anything about such a big thing. What use do I want you!”
The other three people in the room also heard the rough look, and they all looked serious. According to Yanzhi’s meaning, is this an invasion of Liuli Kingdom, and there is another war on the frontier?
Several people looked at each other, and Fang Zhenghong took the lead in asking, “Your Majesty, what’s going on?”
Yan Zhi probably knew that this was not the time to get angry, so he calmed down his anger a little, and then told the people present all the things he received about the letter.
The first question was Fang Zhenghong. He asked in confusion, “Your Majesty, this matter is a bit strange. Not to mention the source of the battle report, there is something wrong with this time.”
Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, “Oh, what do you say about the Prime Minister?”
“Your Majesty should know that this Liuli Kingdom is located in a cold place, especially in winter. I heard that it often snows and sometimes I can’t even find the road. At this time, the war will be initiated unless the king of Liuli Kingdom is stupid!”
After Fang Zhenghong said this, Yanzhi felt that it makes sense. The king of Liuli Kingdom is not a fool, and there is no reason to go to fight at the worst time of the year in this Liuli Kingdom. So, is that war false?
“Weichen thinks that the battle report should be true. The border has not been calm in recent years. Besides, the people of Liuli have been warlike and have been in a harsh environment for many years. Wind and snow are a dilemma for us, but it may not be the case for them. Taking advantage of the snow season to provoke a war, it is absolutely an advantage for them.”
Lord Liu’s analysis seems to be reasonable, and Yan Zhi’s eyes fell on Lin Xuan, “What do you think, Lord Lin?”
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment before speaking, “I think what the Prime Minister and Lord Liu said makes sense, but it is not the time to worry about the truth or false of this information. As the saying goes, “We are prepared for any trouble. Regardless of whether the battle report is true or false, we should make the necessary preparations as soon as possible.”
Yan Zhi nodded very satisfied. This arrangement was very reasonable, and his eyes looked at Lin Xuan were a little softer.
Lin Xuan lowered his head and said nothing. At this time, he did not need to show off. He puts the overall situation first!
