Chapter 221: Early Morning

General!

The eunuch next to Zhu Ji was shocked. He didn't expect that Zhu Ji would have such an idea. There were not many generals in Liang State, but there were not many generals, but there was only one general. At the beginning, it was Chen Yan. Now that Chen Yan was dead, the position of the general was naturally empty. The position of the general was also the leader of many military generals in Liang State. It can be said that once he became a general, in Liang State, except Zhu Ji, he would be the most powerful person, below one person and above ten thousand people...

This is definitely a great honor. The eunuch's heart was a little shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be understandable that Chen Yan is dead, and Liang State needs a person like Chen Yan to stand up and intimidate the surrounding areas. If Ning Caichen can really resist the Han army this time, then Ning Caichen's strength naturally has no doubt. Moreover, with Ning Caichen's strength and merits, only Ning Caichen is qualified for this general...

"Ning Jinzhi, don't let me down."

Zhu Ji looked deep in his eyes, muttering to himself. Although he had this idea, it was too early to say this now. The battle report on the front line could not be concluded in one day without being sent back.

"Ding...dong...zheng...zheng..."

Zhaoyang Palace, the sound of the piano is like a tinging spring water, crisp and pleasant. Next to the rockery pool, Yongle is wearing a white princess dress, with a light pink belt on his waist, a beautiful bun with a beautiful hair, a colorful jade hairpin on his head, a strand of black hair hanging on his chest, his fingers fluctuate on the strings, his beautiful eyes are clear, like a curve of autumn water, looking at the sky, his beautiful face is filled with a hint of sorrow, as if he is dazed, as if he is in a daze...

"Ding Ding...Dong..."

The sound of the piano is melodious, endless, very crisp, like a tinging spring, but it is like a kind of melancholy, like crying and complaining, its sound is whimpering, plucking the heartstrings...

"Princess, do you miss Mr. Ning?"

After a long time, the sound of the piano stopped, and there was only the ding dong sound of the rockery spring water. Yongle stroked the strings of the piano with both hands, his beautiful eyes were dazed, and there was a trace of melancholy that could not be dissolved on his beautiful face. Xiaohuan looked at Yongle's appearance and spoke.

"Xiao Huan, do you think he can win?"

Yongle raised his head and looked at Xiaohuan. His beautiful eyes were clear. He asked, and there was an urgent need for people to deceive themselves. He knew that hope was slim, and maybe things had already developed towards the worst possible, but he always comforted himself mentally, hoping that others would say the answer they wanted. Even if he knew that the hope was small, he would always find various reasons to convince himself...

"It's definitely possible. Young Master Ning can kill Zhang Jiao. He is so powerful that he can definitely deal with Fan Kuai..."

Xiaohuan said without hesitation.

"But that's Fan Kuai, the Marquis of Wu of Han. Even if General Chen Yan is alive, he may not be able to compete with him. Although he is powerful and may not have any opponents in the same rank, he is all ants under his supernatural powers. He has not reached that level after all. He killed Zhang Jiao because Zhang Jiao was seriously injured and his life was in danger. But now he is Fan Kuai, the Marquis of Wu of Han. Taizu fell in the hands of Han Xin of Han. You said, facing the powerful Han Dynasty, can I really resist it?"

Yongle spoke again, with unconcealed worry and a hint of heaviness in his eyes. Han Guo, Fan Kuai, these words are too heavy, like an insurmountable mountain...

"Princess, you are the princess of my Daliang. If you have no confidence in Liang Kingdom, then everyone else..."

"Daliang, Daliang has long been gone. Can't you still see it? My father is addicted to wine and sex, is very happy with merits, and believes in slander..." Yongle shook his head, showing a lonely look on his face. Although he was a daughter, he could see the situation of Liang State very thoroughly, especially during the last trip to Luoshui City. Wherever he passed, what he saw and heard, she clearly realized how bad the Liang State was at this moment, the current situation was turbulent, and the people's hearts were lost...

"Princess."

Xiaohuan's face changed slightly. He didn't expect Yongle to directly criticize Zhu Ji. This was a crime of disrespect. Even if Zhu Ji loved Yongle very much, once he was blamed, the charge would be quite serious, and his voice increased a little, reminding Yongle.

"Actually, I have been thinking about it. Even if Liang State survives this time and defeats Han State, what can I do? My father will grow old one day and his health will get worse and worse. Who will succeed to the throne of Liang State? Zhu Hongji, Zhu Hongyi, my two brothers have no other skills, and they will not succeed in literature. Soon after martial arts, I have learned the ability to fight in the nest thoroughly... Liang State, I really can't see hope..."

At this moment, Xiao Huan stopped talking. Of course, although Yongle said something bolder, it was an indisputable fact. Today, King Zhu Ji, the King of Liang, was incompetent, and his two sons Zhu Hongji and Zhu Hongyi were not the wise rulers. They could not succeed in civil and military affairs. In this era of the eight countries fighting for hegemony, they would eventually be unable to escape the end of destroying the country.

"Princess, what about Mr. Ning? Can you let it go..."

Xiaohuan opened his mouth, causing Yongle's body to stiffen.

"Father."

At the same time, in Qiu Mansion and in the study, Qiu Minghai stood in front of the desk, carrying his pen to practice calligraphy, and Qiu Qianye walked in.

"Come on, how is the situation outside?"

"Just just heard the news that in the morning, Lord Li, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, arranged for his family to sneak out of the city."

"Oh, these people are really impatient." Qiu Mingyuan put down the gaze in his hand and looked up at Qiu Qianye: "What's the matter with that person in the palace?"

"It's very calm, but it's mostly calm before the storm." Qiu Qianye raised his lips and a hint of sarcasm appeared in his eyes: "These people are too impatient. They are scared like this before the news from the front line has been sent back. They are simply seeking death."

Qiu Qianye felt disdainful in his heart for those who could not wait to leave Yedu. The front-line war report had not been sent back yet, so he could not wait. Except for letting his name be recorded in Zhu Ji's red book, there would be no effect. Even if he wanted to leave, when the front-line war report came, if the Liang Kingdom was doomed to perish, they would have enough time. It would definitely not be a wise move to escape now.

"Where is the battle report on the front line? Is there any news?" Qiu Minghai asked.

"Not yet, but I guess it's time for two days." Qiu Qianye said.

"Ning Jinzhi, I have prepared paper money for you, don't let me down." Qiu Minghai said to himself, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The Marquis of Wu of Han, the supreme figure of martial arts and supernatural powers, Chen Yan may not be able to compete with him in his life. This time, Ning Caichen is destined to be dead but not alive."

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

The next day, the time was on November 26th. In Yedu, the palace, morning court, and the palace of the Taihe Hall, all the civil and military ministers stood on both sides. Zhu Ji was wearing a dragon robe and Queen Xiao sat on the dragon throne. The atmosphere at the scene seemed a bit dull, a bit depressing and dull, and no one spoke. In fact, this atmosphere came more than ten days ago, when the news of the Han army's attack came, this would happen every day in the morning court...

"Say, are you all mute?"

Finally, Zhu Ji spoke up and broke the silence. Looking at the civil and military officials in the hall, seeing that Zhu Ji seemed to have signs of getting angry, the people below were even more afraid to speak. They looked at their noses and their hearts, as if they hadn't heard it. In the past few days, they have seen Zhu Ji get angry...

"Li Minghao." Zhu Ji shouted again: "Li Minghao."

Zhu Ji called him twice in a row. This person was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He was also the minister who arranged for his family to secretly leave Yedu yesterday. However, the court was quiet and no one answered.

"Where is Li Minghao?" Zhu Ji's face darkened and he shouted.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have received the news that Lord Li left the city at night last night..."

Finally, a minister stood up with a trembling trembling and spoke carefully, which made everyone present feel tight. Zhu Ji's face also changed a little, sometimes blue, sometimes white, and finally his face turned red and his eyes turned a little red...

"Bang...bang...bold...puff...wow..."

Finally, Zhu Ji was so angry that he slapped the handrail next to him, shouted loudly, and then squirted out a large mouthful of blood...

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty..." There was a panic in the hall.

"Your Majesty, are you okay? Send the imperial physician..."

Queen Xiao's face also changed and she hurriedly supported Zhu Ji.

"I'm fine, it's okay..." After coughing, Zhu Ji stabilized his body, but his face was extremely pale. The ministers in the hall looked at each other, but no one spoke, because at this time, they all knew that Zhu Ji was angry. If he spoke at this time, he would cause trouble.

Zhu Ji on the dragon throne was also silent for a while, with a pale face. After a while, he raised his eyelids and looked at the ministers below.

"Do you think I, Daliang, are about to die, and are preparing to learn from Li Minghai and escape overnight?"

"I don't dare."

"Don't you really dare?"

Zhu Ji's eyes were condensed into a line, looking directly at everyone in the audience. Many people felt frightened, especially some people who had ghosts in their hearts, pressing their heads down.

No one spoke, and the hall fell into silence again, but the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people feel panicked. No one dared to look up at Zhu Ji. At this time, anyone could see that Zhu Ji seemed to be on the verge of an outbreak, and no one wanted to cause fire. Everyone swept the snow in front of the door, and why bother with the frost on others? Of course, some people cursed Li Minghai all over his heart...

Next to Zhu Ji, Queen Xiao didn't speak. She was wearing a phoenix robe, and was in her thirties, but she looked like a beautiful young woman of 27 or 28 years old, dignified and noble.

"Report!"

At this moment, a long sound rang out of the hall, and then a guard ran in quickly-

"Report to Your Majesty, the battle report of Luoshui City."
Chapter completed!
