Ever since the Tang Dynasty began to decline, the imperial power has declined, the court has been in turmoil, and all the civil and military officials have not secretly communicated with the local Jiedu envoys?

But now, Liu Kun was exterminated by His Majesty because of his collusion with the Jiedu envoy of Hedong!

This really shocked all the officials!

Many of them cut off the connection with the local Jiedushi overnight, and destroyed all the evidence of their contacts with the local Jiedushi!

From now on, they are only loyal to His Majesty!

The connection with the local Jiedushi is no longer necessary, it will only increase their personal danger!

"Liu Kun colluded with the feudal town, intending to murder His Majesty, betray the imperial court, and deserve to die!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials came out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty punishes the rebels, and all civil and military officials clap their hands."

"Liu Kun is in a high position, but he doesn't want to serve the country, but wants to murder His Majesty. It is an unforgivable crime!"

"Your Majesty handles this matter properly, and it will change if it is too late. If Liu Kun gets wind of it and runs away, it will damage the court's prestige!"

"..."

All the ministers remonstrated and denounced Liu Kun one after another.

Chapter 15 I strongly recommend General Duan

On the dragon chair, Li Xiu remained expressionless, and said, "Liu Kun deserves to die, but the feudal town that colluded with him is the culprit, more damned than Liu Kun."

A feudal town colluding with Liu Kun?

The hearts of all the ministers couldn't help but move.

Isn't that the Hedong Jiedu envoy Yang Ling?

Your Majesty, could it be that you want to follow the clues and punish Yang Ling as well?

This can't be done!

The last time Sima Chong fell into His Majesty's plan because of his insensitivity and carelessness, he ended up with the whole army wiped out.

In their view, there is a lot of luck in it!

This kind of success cannot be replicated!

But the trouble is that the suppression of Sima Chong has given His Majesty great confidence!

What's more, Yang Ling has 30 soldiers who are good at fighting and dominates the river east. His strength is definitely not comparable to Sima Chong's.

If you want to move this person, you must be extremely cautious!

Under the eyes of the ministers, the doctor Yushi came out and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of Liu Kun's collusion with the feudal town needs to be investigated in detail..."

Unexpectedly, Li Xiu interrupted him directly, "There is no need to investigate further, I have already found out that the feudal town that had an affair with Liu Kun is none other than the Governor of Hedong, Yang Ling."

"Yang Ling colluded with the courtiers and plotted to kill the king. This is an unforgivable crime! I plan to send an army of [-] to attack this thief!"

As soon as this remark came out, the government and the public were shocked.

Yang Ling hasn't rebelled yet, yet His Majesty wants to take the initiative to send troops to crusade?

Just when the ministers wanted to dissuade them, Li Xiu shook her head, "I'm not asking for your opinions."

"I'm announcing this today to let you prepare for the army's expedition!"

It is not as simple as a sentence for a large army to go out. It is necessary to prepare food, grass and equipment in advance. After everything is ready, the troops can be sent into the army.

Looking at His Majesty, who seemed to have made up his mind, many ministers were heartbroken.

This battle seems to have to be fought!

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of War reported in the prelude, "Your Majesty, this conquest of Hedong Township is no small matter. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Your Majesty needs to select a famous commander in chief of the three armies, so that our imperial army can have a chance of winning."

"That's true."

Li Xiu nodded, "However, are there still so-called famous generals in my Tang court?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War said: "General Duan Siming, a loyal military general, has been on the battlefield for a long time. He has more victories than defeat, so he can take up this post."

"Oh?"

Li Xiu raised her eyebrows, "Where is General Duan?"

"The end is here!"

A burly, burly man in his 40s came out from the Wuchen shift, and bowed to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu asked with a smile: "General Duan, can you relieve my worries, wipe out the Hedong town, and kill the traitor Yang Ling?"

Just kidding, of course not!

Duan Siming's face was ugly, and he cursed in his heart.

The enemy's army is 30, and our army is only [-]. There is such a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and our army. They are still the attacking side. Can this battle have a chance of winning?

Not to mention him, Duan Siming, even Li Jing, the founding God of War of the Tang Dynasty, may not win this battle!

But these words, Duan Siming only dared to mutter secretly, but he didn't dare to speak out at all!

Based on what he knew about His Majesty, if he flinched on the spot, His Majesty would definitely say that he was cowardly and incompetent, disrupting the morale of the army, and might pull him out and behead him on the spot.

"As a general, how can you back down? Besides, General Duan Siming is a general who has always won victoriously. He has defeated countless enemies on the battlefield and is invincible. He is the best candidate!"

"Chen, I highly recommend General Duan!"

your sister!

Duan Siming has the urge to scold her!

Brother, you and I have no grudges in the past and have no grudges in the present, why did you hurt me?

It is true that he is a victorious general, but that is all from the achievements of the peasant army and bandits, and the feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty have been fighting against foreign races all year round, so their combat effectiveness is not guaranteed!

If you really want to face the elite soldiers and generals in Shangfan Town, he can't be the opponent at all!

How to do?

After a fierce psychological struggle, Duan Siming finally plucked up the courage and said: "Your Majesty, it is the duty of the last general to fight for the country."

"But just yesterday, when the general was practicing martial arts, he accidentally broke his right hand. The doctor said that it might take two to three months to recover..."

Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of War immediately looked at Duan Siming's right hand in doubt, "Your right hand is broken? It doesn't look like it..."

"What's not like?"

Duan Siming looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War with a sad face, "Actually, I have been holding on since the very beginning. This arm has long been unable to exert strength. Look, it is soft..."

"okay."

Li Xiuqiang resisted the urge to laugh, how could he fail to see that Duan Siming didn't dare to conquer Hedong at all, but this was just right, he already had someone in his mind, even if Duan Siming was willing to go, he was not at ease. The Wanda Snow Dragon Rider was handed over to such a mediocre leader.

"Since General Duan is sick, let's go home and rest. I will choose someone else to conquer the Hedong Township this time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Duan Siming immediately thanked him, with a grateful look on his face.

He thought that he would not be able to escape His Majesty's severe punishment, but unexpectedly His Majesty was so magnanimous today that he really didn't let him go, and let him go home and have a good rest.

Your Majesty, you are so benevolent!

Whoever dares to say that His Majesty is a tyrant in the future will be in a hurry with whom!

"Your Majesty, this..."

The Minister of the Ministry of War did not expect that Li Xiu would let Duan Siming go so easily, this guy is obviously pretending!

Such clumsy acting skills, even he can't stand it anymore!

Your Majesty is so wise and mighty, why can't he see through it?

However, Minister of the Ministry of War and Duan Siming had no enmity, and he didn't really want to harm Duan Siming, but if Duan Siming didn't serve as the commander-in-chief of this army, he really couldn't think of anyone more suitable than this person.

Duan Siming had defeated the rebel bandits at any rate, but the other generals in the court were the kind who would run away when they saw the rebel bandits, and they were even more unreliable than Duan Siming.

Could it be that such a person is expected to fight against the 30 strong soldiers of the Hedong Township?

"Don't worry, dear friends, the commander-in-chief appointed by me should be arriving soon."

Li Xiu said calmly.

Minister of the Ministry of War and others immediately showed strange colors on their faces.

Commander-in-Chief appointed by His Majesty?

Which general will be able to win His Majesty's favor?

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, a guard quickly walked into the Jinluan Hall, "There is a guy outside the door who calls himself Xiang Yu, and says he is here to see His Majesty. Brothers can't stop him, so he is about to break in!"

"What, a bold lunatic! How dare you trespass into the palace?"

Minister of the Ministry of War was furious, "How many people did he come?"

"Only one."

one person?

All the officials were stunned.

If a person breaks into the palace alone, the imperial army can't stop him?

Is this a joke?

However, when Li Xiu heard the words, a smile appeared on her face, "Let's go! Follow me out to have a look!"

Immediately, he stood up from the throne of the dragon chair and walked towards the outside of the hall.

"Your Majesty, it's dangerous!"

Although the officials were terrified, seeing Li Xiu walking out as if nothing had happened, they could only bite the bullet and follow.

Chapter 16 Within ten days, conquer the east of the river

Outside the Golden Temple.

On the square, a burly figure like an iron tower was stepping towards the direction of the Golden Luan Hall.

The figure is majestic, like a beast in human form, every step it takes, it seems that even the ground is trembling.

Surrounding him, there were hundreds of soldiers from the imperial army, trying to block the figure's steps, but they couldn't affect him at all.

Is he still human?

The officials looked at Xiang Yu with fear in their eyes.

And that figure, the moment he saw Li Xiu, his eyes shone with light.

He lifted the sole of his foot and suddenly kicked the ground, an astonishing wave of air suddenly swept away, sweeping away all the hundreds of Imperial Guard soldiers around him.

As for Xiang Yu himself, his speed increased sharply, and he appeared in front of Li Xiu in the blink of an eye.

"Protect... protect His Majesty!"

All the officials shouted to protect His Majesty, but none of them dared to move. They were all so frightened by Xiang Yu that their legs became weak. Even if they had the heart to protect him, they couldn't move at all!

However, under the horrified gaze of the hundred officials, Xiang Yu didn't attack Li Xiu, but with a "plop", he knelt down on one knee and kowtowed to Li Xiu!

"Xiang Yu, see Your Majesty!"

This scene almost made the officials' eyeballs fall out.

Such a terrifying person, they thought it was the assassin who assassinated His Majesty, but they didn't expect that the other party actually knelt down to His Majesty?

Could it be that he was overwhelmed by the domineering aura of His Majesty?

"Exemption."

Li Xiu waved his hand.

Xiang Yu then slowly got up.

This is Xiang Yu, King of Chu!

Li Xiu looked at the figure in front of him, feeling quite emotional in his heart.
