empire grow

Chapter 100

For a moment, the entire Grand General's Mansion fell silent.

This is a moment of change and usurpation, and the slightest accident may cause the body to be smashed to pieces.

Ding dong...!
I don't know how long it took before a soldier dressed as the Royal Forest Army came over on a fast horse and reported: "Report to the general, General Hualan asked me to report. Half an hour ago, His Majesty summoned several important officials. , went to the palace to discuss business matters, among them were the Prime Minister, General Zuowei, General Liu Fu, and the envoy of Luanxing Kingdom, Lord Huang Bin..."

After hearing this, Liu Mei said, "Is there anyone else who was also summoned?"

"When the subordinates came to report, there were only the above-mentioned people." The soldier hesitated for a while.

"Then you back down." Liu Mei waved his hand to make the soldier back down, and then said to the surrounding generals: "I think everyone has heard what the soldier said just now."

"Yes!"

"All of us are excluded, that is to say, they don't regard us as a group at all. His Majesty doesn't believe us at all. If we continue to work hard on this, it's like putting our heads on the waistband of our trousers." Liu Mei drew out his knife and said : "Since this is the case, then let's not oppose it, what are you waiting for?"

"We listen to you, General, and we will do what you say."

In an instant, all the generals really chose Liu Mei.

If it is said that before, there were still people who were dubious and reluctant to oppose it, but now no one would think so.Working for someone who doesn't trust you at all will definitely not lead to any good results.

"Okay, since you trust me so much, then follow my orders." Liu Mei stood up and ordered: "General Yang Hua, immediately lead your troops to the west gate and control it.

Lingzhou leads your troops to the east gate, Wenyue's troops to the south gate, and Yan Ming's troops to the north gate.Liao Zhu, Zhou Run, Liu Ze, and Liang Sha left with this general's letter and went to the four imperial cities to command the soldiers and horses of the four imperial cities. If the guards of the four imperial cities dare to disobey orders, then everyone can kill them first and then play .

The rest of you, enter the palace together with me, I want to see how His Majesty plans to deal with us. "

"promise."

After Liu Mei gave the order, those generals who had missions left immediately.They are all Liu Mei's confidantes, so they have already prepared for rebellion.As for those generals who fall with the wind, as long as Liu Mei brings them into the palace and is seen by Zhou Mangniu, then they have no other choice but to join his own camp, and only in this way can Liu Mei be safe.

After leaving the General's Mansion, Liu Mei and others got on their horses and went straight to the Imperial City Palace.

"What's going on? Could it be that the rebels have already broken through the imperial city and headed straight for the imperial city?"

"No, I heard yesterday that the rebels were huddled in Dongyu and dared not move at all. How could they attack the imperial city?"

"Then what's going on, why all the generals put on military uniforms and mounted war horses."

"Did another war happen, or...?"

"No, it seems that the place where the general and others are going is not a military camp, nor the four gates of the city, but the palace."

"There seems to be no discussion today, what are they going to the palace for?"

"I'm just a seventh-rank official, I don't know what they are doing in the palace."

"Hush... I heard that something will happen in the palace today."

"..."

Amidst the discussion among the crowd, Liu Mei led a group of generals to the gate of the imperial palace.

Although the imperial city of the Mangniu Kingdom has been widened several times, overall it is not as big as a corner of the Forbidden City in the past.However, with the national conditions of this world at this time, it is not bad to have such a big palace.

"General, you are finally here."

As soon as Liu Mei arrived at the palace, Hua Lan, who was in charge of guarding the city, immediately rushed down from the city gate and reported, "General, what do you think the general should do?"

Hualan, the younger brother of Huaxiong.Since he was born, he has a handsome appearance, much like a woman, so his parents named him Lan.

Hualan has neither superior martial arts nor outstanding political ability.However, as her elder brother continued to ascend to the top position, Hualan's status continued to increase, and she was good at flattering, so she was trusted by the general.Even with the support of Liu Mei, he became one of the leaders of the Imperial Palace Imperial Forest Army.

"Is everyone inside?" Liu Mei asked, stroking Hualan's shoulder.

"Report that the generals are all inside, not one more, not one less." Hua Lan said with a sinister smile.

"Okay, you immediately lead your troops to block the four entrances and exits. No one is allowed to enter or exit without my order." Liu Mei ordered, and then said to a simple and honest general: "General Tian Ye, you Stay behind to assist General Hualan in defending the four gates.

"The last general takes orders." Tian Ye responded, and then left with Hua Lan to continue to deploy defenses.

Looking at the closed city gate, Liu Mei smiled slightly and said, "Let's go straight to the imperial study and chat with His Majesty."

……

The Royal Study Room is said to be the place where government was conducted in ancient times.Handling government affairs here can be faster and more accurate.Therefore, no matter which vassal state rises up, such a special room will be built.

At this time, in the imperial study room, Zhou Mangniu looked at his courtiers, and said with a sad expression: "Everyone, do you know why I called you all here today?"

"I don't know if I wait!"

"Just a few hours ago, someone reported to me that General Liu Mei was suspected of treason." Zhou Mangniu said in a rough voice: "Although the information has not been confirmed, the emperor still does not want the general to continue handling the affairs of the country. Government affairs, I called you here today, just to hope that you can help me make a plan and find a way to weaken the power of the general."

When the civil servants kneeling on the ground heard Zhou Mangniu's words, they all broke out in cold sweat, and the only one who was still standing, Huang Tan, was also shocked.

It seems that Mangniu's innocence is about to change.

Huang Jin looked at Zhou Mangniu, then at the courtier kneeling on the ground, his thoughts changed, and he murmured silently in his heart: "I don't know where it is, what's the situation now."

After a long time, the old prime minister, who was in the hands of the civil servants of the Mangniu Kingdom, swayed his old body, stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, since you have already decided to attack the general, why do you make such lies?"

"What does the prime minister mean by that?" Zhou Mangniu asked displeased.

However, before the old prime minister could answer, he heard footsteps outside, and then Liu Mei's flattering voice said, "I guess what the old prime minister means is that I hope you will kill me directly, so as not to cause any trouble."

Liu Mei walked in with big strides, walked in calmly and said, "I don't know, did the general say something wrong?"
