I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Lieutenant General Liu was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Long live Your Majesty..."

The emperor held Lieutenant General Liu's arm to stop him from continuing to salute.

"Okay Liu Aiqing, I have something important to discuss with you tonight, so there is no need to be so polite."

When Liao Cheng saw this, he bowed and retreated.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Lieutenant General Liu felt that if the emperor could summon him to the palace at night, it would be a big deal.

The emperor did not answer, but gave a letter to Lieutenant General Liu.

"My dear, please read this letter first."

Lieutenant General Liu didn't know why, but he still took the letter.

When he saw what was written in the letter, his expression suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty, this..."

The border is urgent!

This turned out to be a secret message from the border!

General Liu's letter was immediately mentioned, and he looked at the emperor nervously.

The emperor raised his hand and said, "My dear, please sit down first."

When things like this happen at the border, how can Vice General Liu sit still?

"Your Majesty, those barbarians in Fan State are so bold. They have never thought of negotiating peace. What they want to occupy is the entire Zhou Dynasty."

After seeing the secret message, Vice General Liu couldn't help but say what he couldn't say in the court.

Vice General Liu clenched his fists tightly, feeling even more angry in his heart.

Even if the emperor beheads him today, he will still say this.

The civil servants of Sima Lian spent all day in the court demagogueing people, talking about making peace every day, as if making peace with the foreigners would make them withdraw their troops.

However, the scolding that Vice General Liu expected did not occur. When the emperor heard his words, he sat calmly.

When Vice General Liu saw this, he suddenly lost his confidence.

Based on the emperor's favor with civil servants for so many years, he said such things today, and the emperor should reprimand him.

But the emperor seemed not to hear it, and his expression did not change.

"His Majesty……"

The emperor saw that Vice General Liu was a little anxious, and then sighed.

"Liu Aiqing, I know how dangerous the border emergency is, but this matter cannot be rushed."

Vice General Liu's face turned red, "Your Majesty, how can we not be anxious? Those people in Fanbang have no humanity at all!"

"Whenever they entered the Zhou Dynasty, they didn't burn, kill, and loot?"

Seeing Vice General Liu blushing, the emperor was helpless.

"Lieutenant General Liu, the situation at the border is critical, but now it is more important not to allow the Fanbang people to attack the city again, so as to reduce the casualties of the people and soldiers."

After hearing this, Vice General Liu calmed down a bit.

When the emperor saw this, he was relieved.

"I have asked King Ling to send the cement to the border, but the situation at the border is complicated. Old General Wang was seriously injured again. Little General Wang charged forward, but the rear was empty."

Vice General Liu heard the emperor mention cement, although he wondered why the emperor knew about Qinshui County so quickly.

But after hearing the emperor's analysis, he became anxious.

"Your Majesty, what should I do?"

"This matter involves the lives of hundreds of thousands of people on the border. It can only be done by people who are loyal to the Zhou Dynasty."

"Now that the court is unstable, I'm afraid there are not many people I can trust."

The emperor sighed suddenly, but this really shocked Vice General Liu.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has implemented a series of policies. Which one is not one that emphasizes culture and restrains military force?

If he said something that he shouldn't have said at this time, the emperor would probably accuse him.

After all, the only people who dare to say in court that they can win the emperor's trust are civil servants.

Seeing that Vice General Liu did not speak, the emperor felt unhappy.

He naturally knew what Vice General Liu was worried about, but at this point, there were really not many people he could use.

Half of the power in the court is in the hands of civil servants, and now there is not even a general who can lead troops. This is also his fault.

The emperor felt extremely regretful, but now he had to solve the problem.

"I want Liu Aiqing to go to the rear to stabilize the border for me. I wonder if Liu Aiqing is willing?"

Lieutenant General Liu originally thought that the emperor's appearance today was to make him stand in line, but he didn't expect that the emperor actually wanted him to go to the border.

Vice General Liu suddenly raised his head and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

"His Majesty!"

The emperor turned around and took down the Emperor's Sword hanging on the wall, raised his hand and placed it in front of Lieutenant General Liu.

"My beloved, are you still willing to go on a journey for me, for Da Zhou, and for the people of the world?"

Vice General Liu looked at the Emperor's Sword handed to him by the emperor and was stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Vice General Liu took the Emperor's Sword with both hands and bowed his head respectfully.

"My lord, I am willing to serve your Majesty."

Vice General Liu took the Emperor's Sword, and the emperor seemed to be relieved, with a smile on his face.

"On behalf of the people of Zhou Dynasty, I would like to thank General Liu."

Lieutenant General Liu was shocked when he saw the emperor surrendering to him.He hurriedly stepped forward to help the person.

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do. You don't need to do this."

Lieutenant General Liu's voice was choked and hoarse.

He thought that the emperor had not yet woken up and was about to become a complete fool. He never thought that God would save his great Zhou Dynasty.

The Emperor's Sword can kill the faint emperor at the top and the sycophants at the bottom. Lieutenant General Liu knows how much power the emperor has given him.

It was precisely because he knew the weight of this trust that Vice General Liu was determined to defend the border city to the death.

The emperor kept Vice General Liu in the Yangxin Hall until midnight, and then let him leave.

When he went to court the next day, Vice General Liu was still angry about the peace proposal proposed by civil servants.Today he seemed to be very angry and actually stood up and spoke out against the emperor.

The emperor was furious and punished Lieutenant General Liu for lax military discipline in the capital camp.

The emperor seemed very angry about this matter. In front of all the civil and military officials, he actually had Deputy General Liu dragged down and beaten twenty times. Finally, Deputy General Liu reported illness and recuperated at home.

The civil servants in the court could not hide the pride on their faces when they saw that the emperor actually suppressed the morale of the generals at the court meeting.

When the court came down, someone came to Sima Lian excitedly.

"Prime Minister, I feel really refreshed after watching this show today. I wonder what you think, Prime Minister?"

Sima Lian also gave a rare smile, "It is our great honor that your Majesty can reuse our civil servants."

The civil servant who was following Sima Lian burst out laughing when he heard this.

At this time, because of the peace negotiations, they were frequently run against by the generals in the court, both covertly and overtly.

Now that His Majesty has punished Vice General Liu, it is for their sake.

Especially seeing the dejected looks of the generals in the court, the civil servants felt even more proud.

But what no one knew was that that night, Vice General Liu led his soldiers to the border.

The emperor punished Vice General Liu, and Sima Lian was happy at first, thinking that the emperor should still trust the civil servants.
