The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 694

On May 22, the sun was shining brightly.

The weather in the capital is fine today, but the emperor sitting on the throne of Qian An has a gloomy look on his face.

At this moment, Zhao Weilong took the memorial to check.

Just by looking at his slightly trembling hands, one can deduce that he is very angry at the moment.

"Damn..."

With a loud curse, Zhao Weilong directly tore the memorial in his hand into several pieces, crumpled it into waste paper and threw it far away outside.

The emperor was angry, bleeding and drifting away.

All the maids and eunuchs serving in the hall were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground, trembling and not daring to make a sound.

"These gangsters!"

"These damned traitors, I'm going to kill them alive!"

Zhao Weilong couldn't help roaring, he really wanted to kill someone now.

Although the report was submitted by Ding Youcheng, the eunuch guarding Nanyang, he is now also the supervisor of the Southwest Army, and the content of the report is related to the Southwest Front.

According to Zhao Weilong's vision, mobilizing elite troops to attack the southwest can force the southwestern rebels to surrender.

This military plan has been demonstrated by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and it is objectively feasible.

The problem is, no matter how perfect the plan is, there must be qualified people to implement it.

But on the southwestern front, the first time the imperial court fought against the rebels, they were beaten in disgrace and fled in a panic.

In Zhao Weilong's view, hundreds of people died, which is a trivial matter, the key lies in the defeat of this battle.

The imperial court lost face, and the morale of the rebel army was boosted, which was extremely detrimental to the forced surrender.

In other words, just this small defeat is extremely detrimental to the implementation of the forced surrender plan, and may even lead to the failure of the plan.

The most irritating thing was that Wu Shengchang, the chief general of the Southwest Army, concealed this small defeat and covered it up in the military newspaper with the words "the march was frustrated".

As a result, he still needs to use the eunuch who supervises the army to understand the situation on the front line.

"The censor of the supervising army can't be trusted, they are here to fool me!" Zhao Weilong said in a deep voice.

The two major armies on the western front and the southeast, some of the leaders of the army could not bear to hide it from him, and now the newly formed army in the southwest dared to use this trick... Zhao Weilong really couldn't bear it.

As the new emperor, Zhao Weilong knows how to compromise and make concessions in the face of the intricate interests below.

But now, in his view, he took care of the overall situation, but what he got in return was that the other party pressed him every step of the way.

Pushing the nose on the face, is that okay?Who is the emperor?
"Come here... Wang Cunzhang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Yishan, the commander of the rear army!"

"According to the order!"

The eunuch was about to leave when Zhao Weilong continued, "Chuan...Jiading Hou Zhou's speech!!"

"Yes"

Zhou Juyan, Hou of Jiading, is Zhao Weilong's biological uncle, absolutely his own.

Since the people below were fooling him, he might as well go up with his own people.

Cultivating one's own power is the kingly way to solve all problems.

"return!"

Just as the eunuch passing the decree walked out of the gate, he was stopped by Zhao Yanxun's shout again.

"There is no need to pass on the Marquis of Jiading..."

"Yes!"

Although Jiading Hou Zhou Juyan is one of his own, he has no military knowledge after all, not to mention being the chief general of the army, even being a deputy general is very problematic.

Sending him to the front line will only add to the chaos, Zhao Weilong can only suppress his anger for the sake of the overall situation.

However, when the eunuch passing the decree left the palace gate to assign tasks to the people below, he saw two cabinet scholars, several ministers, and two major governors walking towards Qian'anmen together.

The two people Zhao Weilong wanted to summon were also among them.

Now it's all right, I'm here by myself, so I don't need to wait for someone to go.

"Hurry up and report that there is an urgent military situation on the western front!" Wang Cunzhang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said coldly.

"Yes!"

While answering, the eunuch couldn't help muttering in his heart, why is there an emergency military situation again.

Of course, he doesn't need to worry about these things, he just needs to complete the mission.

"My lords, the emperor summoned me, please..."

Outside the palace gate, several important officials walked into the palace gate.

In Qian'an Hall, the eunuchs had cleaned up the paper scraps on the ground, and Zhao Weilong sat behind the desk with a gloomy face.

"Your Majesty, several elders have arrived!"

"Let them in!"

"Yes!"

A few seconds later, headed by Chief Assistant Wang Tinghe, several important officials came into the hall.

"The minister waits to kowtow to the emperor!"

"Excuse me, everyone!" Zhao Weilong said in a deep voice.

After several people got up, before Zhao Weilong could ask, Wang Cunzhang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation from the western front!"

The urgent military situation is expedited by [-] miles, and the news can be sent back within a day, which is much faster than the news of the eunuchs in the army.

Signaling the attendant eunuch to take the memorandum, Zhao Weilong opened it and looked through it carefully.

"The minister, the crown prince, the grand teacher, Lu Liqing, the Duke of Cheng, and the Dragon and Tiger General, Wu Qinghou Zhang An... report!"

This is a joint memorial. The chief and deputy general of the Western Front Corps and the two supervisors all signed the memorial.

"After careful investigation, the identity of the bandit army on the western front has been revealed, and they were led by King Yong..."

King Yong?After reading this, Zhao Weilong didn't react for a while.

And the next moment, he froze in place.

King Yong raised his army, since it was King Yong who raised his army, the thief who committed the crime in Wudingfang the night before and robbed Concubine Duan must be someone sent by King Yong.

In this way, my uncle has already made preparations in the capital in order to raise troops... Zhao Weilong secretly guessed.

"King Yong's soldiers, with more than [-] cavalry on foot, are coming fiercely..."

"For the safety of the overall situation, the ministers are temporarily stationed in the east of the Han River, and rely on the natural danger of the Han River to resist the bandit army!"

After reading this, Zhao Weilong couldn't help raising his head and asked: "With the resistance of the Han River, the Hanbei Prefecture to the west of the Han River has been given up in vain?"

No one dared to answer this question, but the facts were obvious.

"The army of thieves, tigers and wolves, is difficult for the soldiers on the western front. Please send reinforcements quickly to relieve the danger on the western front!"

Seeing the end, Zhao Weilong simply closed the memorial and threw it out in anger.

When the memorial fell in front of Wang Cunzhang, Zhao Weilong's roar sounded immediately: "A bunch of trash, idiots..."

"The imperial court spent endless money and food, and how many soldiers died in battle to take down Hanbei City, but he directly abandoned it..."

"He's good at writing, he's rich enough..."

On weekdays, no matter how angry Zhao Weilong was, he would not yell at him like this.

Obviously, the unfavorable situation in the Southwest War just now, and the emergency of the Western Front Corps at the moment, added up to make his mentality collapse.

Now that the imperial court is troubled by internal and external troubles, Zhao Weilong, a pastor, is not easy to do, and he can only barely maintain the status quo after all kinds of suffering.

Finally, the west side settled down, allowing him to free up his hands to clean up the southwest. He knew that there were 10,000+ enemy troops emerging from the west side.

If the 10,000+ enemy army is real, it is more difficult to deal with than rebels and zombies.

After all, the rebel army can't make a fortune, and the zombies won't attack the capital.

At this moment, Zhao Weilong still hadn't let go of his anger, and he continued to curse: "I didn't do my best in the battle, lost the city and lost the land, but put the responsibility on the enemy, it's really hateful!"

Facing the emperor's anger, everyone at the scene bowed their heads, and whoever speaks at this time will be criticized.

"In the memorial, the bandit army is said to be the elite of a hundred battles, with the appearance of tigers and wolves... Could it be that his [-] to [-] troops on the western front are not the masters of a hundred battles? Didn't they crawl out of the dead?"

"In the memorial, what is said to relieve the king's worries, dare to resign from his labor..."

After scolding here, Zhao Weilong suddenly stood up, slapped the table and shouted: "Abandoning the city, leading the army without courage... Is this how they relieve my worries?"

The next moment, Zhao Weilong coughed loudly, clutched his chest and slumped back, apparently exhausted from cursing.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

All the ministers looked up one after another, looking concerned and worried.

I only heard the Chief Assistant Wang Tinghe say: "Your Majesty, the battle on the front line is critical, you have to take care of your dragon body!"

An old man in his 70s, admonishing teenagers to take care of their health, this scene seems strange no matter how you look at it.

Signaling the eunuch beside him to step back, Zhao Weilong closed his eyes slightly, trying to calm down his anger as much as possible.

Only by being calm can you make no mistakes.

After a few breaths, Zhao Weilong opened his eyes and glanced at the several important ministers present.

"You say, how much of Lu Liqing's memorial is true and how much is false?"
