The bubble of ambiguity between the emperor and the empress burst in an instant and disappeared into thin air.

Chu Heng sighed helplessly. When he was young, his father often taught him how to be a benevolent monarch, but he never told him that being a benevolent monarch was so hard!

Although thinking this way, Chu Heng still waved to Chu Chen, "What's the matter?"

"News from the Wudesi stronghold in the Western Xianbei territory."

Chu Chen stepped forward, took out a small roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to his royal brother.

"The Eastern Xiongnu attacked the Western Xiongnu a few days ago, and there is also a small coalition force of Ilie and Wusun."

"But for some reason, the Western Wise King led a large number of troops to the border with Wusun two days ago."

As Chu Chen said this, he was about to pick up the vegetables with his hands and eat them.

He had been running around outside all day and was extremely hungry.

Suddenly, a pair of chopsticks was handed to me from the side.

Chu Chen paused in the air, took the chopsticks, and said awkwardly: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Ji Pingjun smiled gently, "We are all family, no need to be polite."

After Chu Heng finished reading the secret report, his face became gloomy.

"At the same time as launching an attack on Daliang, he also attacked the Western Xianbei. He really has a big appetite, and he is not afraid of eating himself to death."

Chu Chen ate the food while nodding and replied, "That's right."

"But there is a saying that goes, starvation kills the timid, and gluttony kills the bold."

"If it weren't for the chaos in Wusun that delayed the dispatch of troops, I'm afraid..."

Chu Chen hadn't finished speaking, but both Chu Heng and Ji Pingjun knew what he meant.

I’m afraid...the coalition forces have already entered Yumen Pass.

At that time, Fuso was also invading the eastern coast.

The morale of the Daliang army is bound to suffer a severe blow!

"But my brother, this move of taking advantage of the situation is really ingenious!"

Chu Chen put down his chopsticks and rummaged through his sleeve pocket, pulling out a bunch of messy notes.

Finally, I found a few written in red ink.

"Here, this is the reaction of the people in several states near Sili to the case of Xie Yuheng."

Chu Chen pushed it all towards Chu Heng, then picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

After Chu Heng decided to go with the flow at the 21st imperial court meeting, he asked the Hanlin Academy to write the Beijing News.

The news from Beijing was also spread to various states through various routes.

Shangjing borders six states.

Although there are only six of them, Daliang consists of no more than thirteen states and one capital.

Jizhou, Yanzhou and Yuzhou are all located to the east of Shangjing.

Moreover, the Wei River flows from west to east, and important news always travels very quickly by water.

These three states have been populous states since ancient times.

Among them, Yanzhou has the largest population.

After hearing about the court meeting processed by the Hanlin Academy, the people of the city were filled with hatred for An Fan.

Upon hearing about the border concerns, many people spontaneously went to the government office to inquire about joining the army. The same was true in the other two states.

To the north of Shangjing is Bingzhou. There is no need to say much about the people of Bingzhou as it borders the Xiongnu.

This time, the Eastern Xiongnu launched an attack on Bingzhou.

Without any verbal "encouragement", the people of Bingzhou spontaneously delivered food to General Ji's front line.

To the south of Shangjing is Jingzhou.

Jingzhou was the first of the thirteen prefectures in Daliang to be planned to lay wooden tracks.

Many flat areas are now accessible by car.

However, the big cities were far apart, and laying wooden tracks required constant felling of trees and shoveling of earth, which led to slow progress.

After the news from Beijing was introduced to Jingzhou, the first city to cause a stir was Xiangyang.

In Xiangyang city, there is an academy that accepts both male and female students.

If a student comes from a poor family but has extraordinary academic talent, he or she can enroll in school without paying tuition, and the school will provide all the necessary food and lodging.

Just by hearing that both male and female students were accepted, one could tell that it was written by the Xie family in Jiangling.

The mountain is long, and it is exactly the plum blossom...

Although Mr. Mei has no talent, he is rich!

In order to cling to Xie's strong thigh, he directly paid money to kuku and got himself the title of headmaster.

As for other teachers, they were sent by Xie’s Academy.

After all, our Master Mei is a scholar from Xie’s Academy, and can be considered a student of Xie Tingjiang.

Although, he is usually embarrassed to say so...

It's no big deal if he loses face himself, but it's a real sin if he loses face for Yuheng's father!

Xiangyang is relatively close to Shangjing.

The Beijing newspaper was delivered to Xiangyang City by people from the Ministry of Public Administration early the next morning.

After Mei Xingyun learned about this, he immediately shouted that he wanted to pick up his sword and kill those Wusun bastards.

Fortunately, his wife Zhen Yurong suppressed the attack in time, thus preventing him from being killed.

Afterwards, Mei Xingyun paid out of his own pocket and asked the government office to print more copies of the Beijing newspaper.

In addition, all the angry people were organized to go to Beijing, and the Mei family provided all their food and accommodation along the way!

There are many academies like this in Jingzhou.

However, due to the distance from Shangjing, the time when the news was received varied.

Some people choose to keep a low profile and not get involved in this matter.

However, more people chose to speak up for Xie Yuheng.

Even if it was really thanks to Xie Ping'an, his merits and demerits offset each other, so he should not be executed!

What's more, Xie Ping'an's history is not true.

Hello, Marquis of Jiangling, hello, Your Majesty!

The Chi family is bad, Anfan is bad, Wusun is bad!

......

By the time Chu Heng had finished reading, Chu Chen had almost finished eating.

Chu Chen burped, wiped his mouth, raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Heng.

He asked, "Brother, aren't you afraid that you will get out of control and the scholars will trample the capital city?"

Chu Heng glanced at him and said, "I'm not a tyrant!"

"Besides, my reputation among the people is pretty high, right?"

Ji Pingjun also smiled and said, "Among the scholars in Daliang, there are more sensible people than foolish ones."

"I still have the ability to distinguish right from wrong."

Chu Chen thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case.

But in this case... Chu Chen added: "I'm afraid that An Fan will definitely make a scene at the court meeting tomorrow."

"I don't know what's going on in Wusun. How long it can last?"

Chu Heng sighed and picked up the chopsticks. "What's the difference between knowing and not knowing?"

"If the Western Xianbei are going to harass the Wusun rear, we can wait for the Yizhou and Liangzhou armies to gather and then join forces to fight them."

"But with a war on three fronts in Western Xianbei territory, it would be very difficult."

Chu Heng shook his head and took a piece of roasted venison from the plate.

The hall fell silent for a moment, leaving only the sound of Chu Heng eating and the faint sound of candles burning.

Chu Chen thought about the predicament that Daliang was facing and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Suddenly, he saw a petition out of the corner of his eye. The three words "Xie Yuheng" on it immediately caught Chu Chen's attention.

"Brother, can I take a look at that?"

"Look if you want to. Anyway, you will know everything after tomorrow."

Chu Chen didn't quite understand what Chu Heng meant at first, but after reading the petition.

He then knew what his royal brother's intention was - if the future was unclear, then he would redress his injustice while his royal brother was still in power.
