"Dong dong dong..."

The lively Fengyang City began to ring bells, once, twice, three times...

Two border emergency military reports came to Beijing. Everyone knew that something big happened on the northern border. Now when the morning bell rang, the entire Fengyang City suddenly became quiet, and everyone was counting the bells silently in their hearts.

After the nine bells rang, the officials who were resting in Fengyang City immediately put on their official uniforms and prepared to go to court. The businessmen were also preparing to adjust their businesses, while the common people all looked sad.

Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.

In wars, it is the common people who suffer in the end.

royal palace.

Chaozheng Palace.

Huangfu Gongcheng sat high on the dragon chair, and the three pavilion elders stood in a row under the imperial platform.

Soon, the officials who were on duty in the six ministries came to the Chaozheng Palace one after another. Seeing that His Majesty and the three cabinet elders had arrived, they quickly took their places in the palace.

Dayan's court bell system has very strict regulations, especially the nine-ring emergency court meeting, which requires all civil and military ministers to arrive within two quarters of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour passed quickly, and the palace was already filled with civil and military officials.

"The time has come for the court meeting to begin."

As soon as Sun He finished speaking, all the civil and military officials bowed their hands and saluted, "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"Everyone is safe!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Dear dear friends, since Emperor Taizu established the court bell system, today is the first time that I, Dayan, have rung the court bell nine times. This is a turning point in history. Is it leading to a glorious age? Or is it heading for decline? It depends on me next. With all of you who love me."

All the civil and military officials raised their hands and saluted, "I will follow your majesty to the death! Protect Dasheng!"

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "Before the bell struck, I received two urgent military reports from the border. One came from Shazhou. Xia Yuan rebelled in Shazhou, and Yi Linwei also rebelled with him."

"A letter came from Liangzhou. The Beiyuan army raided Liangyan City. The 100,000 defenders in the city were wiped out. The Beiyuan army moved south in large numbers. The three states of Changjin and Changjin were in danger."

"Jianglinghou and Xiaoqiwei are very likely to be trapped in Yunchuan Pass. Once Xia Yuan and Beiyuan collude, Jianglinghou and Xiaoqiwei are also likely to sacrifice their lives for the country."

"At this time of crisis for the imperial court, I hope that all the dear ministers can stick to their duties, that the civil servants can calm the people, and that the generals can lead the army to conquer and restore the country. I declare that Dayan has officially entered a state of war."

As soon as Huangfu finished his words, all the civil and military officials in the palace bowed their hands and saluted, "I obey the decree! May Dayan live forever!"

Huangfu Gongcheng immediately stood up from the dragon chair and said loudly: "Cheng Wuwei, the general of the cabinet, was made the general of Zhenbei. Xue Yu, the Minister of War, was made the general of Zhengbei. He led 30,000 Yulin troops, plus Jinwuwei, Longwuwei, and The Yingyang Guard and the Leading Guard, a total of 150,000 troops, will go north early tomorrow morning to suppress the rebellion and regain the lost territory."

Cheng Wuwei and Xue Yu immediately stepped forward and cupped their hands, "My lord, I obey your order!"

"Gao Rong, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was appointed General Pingbei. After gathering 150,000 state troops, he immediately went north for reinforcements. Xiao Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Works, was appointed General Anbei. He was fully responsible for the provisions and logistical support of all armies."

Gao Rong and Xiao Jun immediately came out and said, "I obey the order!"

……

Next, Huangfu Gongcheng appointed a series of wartime official positions.

"The emergency meeting ends here, let's disperse!"

"I will send you off to Your Majesty!"

After Huangfu successfully left the royal road, the civil and military officials also hurriedly left the government palace.

With the end of the emergency meeting, the atmosphere in Fengyang City began to become tense. Xia Yuan and Yi Linwei rebelled, the Beiyuan army moved south in large numbers, Liangyan City fell, and there was news that Jianglinghou and Xiaoqiwei were trapped in Yunchuan Pass. Soon it spread throughout Fengyang City.

Hall of Wende.

Liu Song, the eunuch in charge of the sword of the Mirror Mirror Department, knelt down on the ground with a face of shame, "This old slave is guilty. Please punish me severely."

The Jingjian Division was not aware of such a big thing as the rebellion of Xia Yuan and Yi Linwei in advance. This was a serious dereliction of duty and Liu Song could not absolve himself of the responsibility.

Huangfu Gongcheng stood up and came to Liu Song, "Liu Ban, you don't have to be like this. You should get up first and have a cup of tea with me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Huangfu Gongcheng sat on the sofa and took a sip of hot tea. "Liu Ban, sit down too."

"Old slave obeys!"

Huangfu Gongcheng knew very well how much Liu Song was capable. Liu Song was loyal to him. When the world was at peace, he handed over the Mirror Mirror Division to Liu Song. Huangfu Gongcheng was naturally relieved. But now Xia Yuan has rebelled, and Bei Yuan has invaded massively. , Liu Song's ability seemed a bit insufficient.

"Liu Ban, I heard that the black and white double swords of your Mirror Appraisal Department are very famous among the people of Fengyang. Please introduce them to me!"

As soon as Huangfu Gongcheng said these words, Liu Song immediately understood the emperor's intention. It seemed that Han Zhijie and Zhang Jian were going to be promoted.

"Your Majesty, the Black and White Double Gang of the Mirror Appraisal Department refers to the commanders Han Zhijie and Zhang Jian. One of these two people likes to wear white clothes, and the other likes to wear black clothes. The Black and White Double Gang is the nickname given to them by the people of Fengyang City. .”

"What are their abilities in intelligence work?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Han Zhijie and Zhang Jian are the most capable among the twelve commanders of the Mirror Division, especially Han Zhijie. I am willing to give up the position of holding the sword to him."

Huangfu Gongcheng waved his hand, "Liu Ban, the position of holding the sword is still yours. I plan to add another post of the fifth-grade capital unified position under the sword holding and advisor."

"Han Zhijie, the commander of the left capital, is fully responsible for the intelligence work of Bei Yuan. Zhang Jian, the commander of the right capital, is fully responsible for the intelligence work of the rebels. Tomorrow morning he will lead a team to go north with the army to provide intelligence support for the imperial army."

"Liu Ban, please return to the Mirror Appraisal Department immediately, hand over this information to the two commanders, and equip them with the strongest intelligence personnel."

"Old slave obeys the order! Old slave resigns!"

Liu Song cupped his hands, turned around and left quickly...

Huangfu Gongcheng sat down on the dragon chair, picked up the royal pen and was about to review the memorial, when Huangfu Yunyun hurried in and said, "I pay my respects to my father!"

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Huangfu Yunyun came directly to Huangfu Gongcheng and said, "Father, I beg you, I beg you, you must send troops to rescue Lin Feng and Princess Qiuyue."

Lin Feng was trapped in Yunchuan Pass. Huangfu Gongcheng knew that his precious daughter would definitely come to him, so he immediately shook his head, "Yun'er, the general will lead his army northward early tomorrow morning. Lin Feng and Qiuyue Jiren have their own God bless, everything will be fine, don’t worry!”

"Father, you have agreed to marry your son to Lin Feng. If something happens to him, what will I do?"

"Yun'er, I don't want anything to happen to Lin Feng, but Yunchuan Pass is thousands of miles away. What can I do? You have to believe in Lin Feng. With his ability, he will definitely come back safely."

Mentioning Lin Feng's ability, Huangfu Yunyun immediately felt a lot more at ease, "Father, as soon as there is news about Lin Feng, you must send someone to inform me."

"I understand. You go back and wait for the news. I'm busy!"

"Yes, my father! I resign!"

Not long after Huangfu Yunyun left, Huangfu Yunduo hurriedly walked in again, "My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

"Be flat!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Just as Huangfu Yunduo was about to speak, he was interrupted by Huangfu Gongcheng, "Duo'er is here for Lin Feng too! Yun'er has already been here just now, and I am very concerned about Lin Feng's safety. I still have many things to do." The memorial needs to be reviewed, so if you have nothing else to do, just step down!"

"I obey the order! I resign!"

Lin Feng, Lin Feng, my two daughters’ thoughts are all on you. If your boy can come back safely this time, you must give me a clear answer.

Lin Feng took away a carriage of gunpowder when he left. All Huangfu Gongcheng's hopes for Lin Feng came from the terrifying power of gunpowder.

As for the hot air balloon, Lin Feng originally conducted the hot air balloon tests at night in order to keep it secret, so Huangfu Gongcheng didn't know about the existence of the hot air balloon.
