Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

"Your Highness, these are all documents in Bianzhou."

Early the next morning, Bianzhou Mu waited outside the yard early, but fortunately Li Changshou did not avoid seeing him, and let him in after waiting for half an hour.

At the same time, along with Bianzhou Mu, there are document records from various places in Bianzhou, including all information on land, humanities, and military deployment in various places.

With these, it is equivalent to truly holding the huge Bianzhou in your own hands.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Li Changshou was in high spirits. Although he didn't enjoy himself to the fullest last night, it still allowed him to sleep peacefully these days.

"It's all for the imperial court, sharing worries for His Highness, and it's the duty of a subordinate official!"

Bianzhou Mu is a smart man, from the fact that he took the initiative to open the city gate to welcome Li Changshou into the city, we can know what his choice is.

Speaking of it, Bianzhou Mu is also a hard-working person. As a parent official in a dignified state, he has completely become empty-handed all these years!
Why?

Because Bianzhou is under the jurisdiction of Hedong Jiedushi, his state shepherd, whether it is government affairs or military deployment, is suppressed and dare not move.

Want to resist?
Jiedushi possesses military and political power, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command.

How can he, a little state shepherd, be able to compete?
But now, because Li Changshou raised troops from Jiangdong to serve the king, everywhere he went surrendered, and before Li Changshou came to Bianzhou, the original Hedong Jiedu envoy had already fled.

Correct!
Hedong Jiedushi escaped!

"I'm just staying here for a short time, the people of Bianzhou will depend on you after all."

Li Changshou said indifferently, and Bianzhou Mu immediately showed his excited expression, and quickly expressed his loyalty, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely die after I die!"

"It's not that serious. This time, the Jiedu envoy of Hedong and the envoy of Shannan colluded. After the counter-insurgency is over, this position will be vacant."

The implication is that a fool can understand it.

Compared with the state herdsmen, the real frontier official of the Dagan Dynasty was the Jiedushi!
That is the prince who really holds all the rights in his hands, and the state shepherd is only the highest local chief executive in name.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

For Bianzhou Mu's allegiance, Li Changshou was not too surprised.

He will not stay here for too long, the ultimate goal is to return to the capital and control the overall situation of the world.

Little Bianzhou, just like Jiangnan, cannot delay his footsteps.

And soon, news came back.

Ling Wei led [-] troops as the vanguard, and they had already approached the key areas of the capital. The speed of the march was simply amazing.

The key is all the news sent back, good news again and again.

With only [-] soldiers and horses, they did not encounter too much resistance, and they pointed at the capital like a broken bamboo.

According to the detailed calculation of the footsteps, it has been at least ten days away from the main force of Li Changshou's side.

……

"Report! The Pioneer Battalion belonging to King Shou has approached the capital!"

"Report! The scouts sent back news that the King of Shou Pioneer Camp is still 150 miles away from the capital!"

"Report!..."

A series of urgent reports were sent back to the capital one by one, even those who lived deep in the palace had already heard about it, so there was no need to talk about the people in the capital.

Everyone was in panic. A few months ago, the crown prince raised troops to rebel and usurp the throne. Shannan Jiedu sent more than 3 soldiers into the capital. Now the situation in the capital has not been completely stabilized.

Are we going to face a new round of war now?

At this time, the palace.

Li Cheng, who has announced to the world that he is enthroned as emperor, and is wearing a dragon robe, has a livid face and dark eyes.

There was even more anxiety and hesitation on his face. In contrast, almost all the officials in the court lowered their heads halfway, and no one made a sound.

"say something!"

Looking at the group of officials below who were silent, Li Cheng roared angrily, "Why are you silent? Huh?"

Everyone dared not have any reaction.

Li Cheng became even more furious, "Are you all dumb? I asked you to think of countermeasures, what about people?! Why don't you say a single word?"

In the court hall, how many years has it been since there was no scene where other than the emperor roaring, the officials were silent?
But at this moment, all the ministers who went to court were silent.

"Speak! Who can come up with a solution! I will reward you!"

Li Cheng is angry!

These are a bunch of trash, who are better at eating, drinking, and having fun than anyone else, but now they are all speechless when something happens.

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Duke Qi sighed and spoke out first.

However, Li Cheng couldn't suppress his anger at all, even he himself knew that behind his raging rage was actually fear!
is afraid!
"Duke Qi, do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Li Cheng had some expectations, but Qi Guogong's mouth twitched, and he became embarrassed, "Your Majesty, the King of Shou's vanguard camp is only 3 soldiers and horses, and there are still [-] forbidden soldiers and more than [-] soldiers and horses in the capital. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."

"Okay! Then who of you is willing to lead the army and wipe out the rebels?!"

For a while, no one dared to take the initiative to take over this matter, even Duke Qi remained silent.

Looking at the reactions of the officials, Li Cheng could see clearly that those people in the court hall are all trash!
He suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have suppressed the ministers of the Qing school after he ascended the throne. Now, some important officials in the court were either beheaded or lost their official positions at home. Instead, they used to rely on Qi Guogong and Zhen Guogong Guo Peng Those people have risen with the tide.

"Duke Zhen, are you willing to lead the army?!"

The old matter is brought up again, but this time it is not in private, but in court!
No courtier can reject the emperor's will face to face in the court, even if they are powerful ministers, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers must be maintained on the surface.

"The minister has been ill for the past few days, and I fear that I will fail His Majesty's entrustment."

The old god Guo Peng is here, and he is the only one who can be given a seat in the entire court, even if Qi Guogong does not have this treatment.

Now even more so, he put on a posture of unwillingness to step into the muddy water. Seeing his reaction like this, Li Cheng was furious in his heart!
How can he not know that Guo Peng is advancing by retreating, and his purpose is nothing more than to occupy the noble concubine as his own. However, Li Cheng also has his own ideas about this matter. How dare you act rashly to the noble concubine.

"Duke Zhen!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has the heart, but is powerless."

Guo Peng didn't pay attention to the relationship between the monarch and his ministers at all. Although he didn't openly resist the order, other ministers couldn't understand this attitude.

"Your Majesty, the minister's wife is ill."

"Your Majesty, I still have a young son and an old mother to take care of."

"minister……"

For a while, all the ministers who entered the court relying on Guo Peng looked for excuses.

That's all for those civil servants, and it's naturally unrealistic for them to lead the army.

But it is not that there are no military generals in the court, but the so-called emperor and courtiers, those veterans who had experience in leading the army died, and those who were demoted were demoted, and the rest of them all tried their best to refuse.

"you!"

Li Cheng's eyes almost went dark. He didn't expect that as the master of the world, he was the emperor and son of heaven. He didn't expect that all the courtiers would pay homage to him.

one day!
Two days!

For several days in a row, with the urgent report one after another, it was sent back to the capital.

Li Cheng couldn't sit still anymore.

"Duke Zhen!"

"The minister is here."

"I ordered you to lead the army to put down the rebellion. When you come back victorious, I will personally celebrate your achievements and reward you with beauties!"

Yes, Li Cheng gave in.

Compared with the stunning beauties like the imperial concubine, the dragon chair under her buttocks is obviously more important.

So in the end, a compromise was made.

However, Guo Peng could not be fooled by a few words of empty promises. Hearing the words, he handed over his hands indifferently, "Your Majesty loves me very much, but I am afraid. It's just that I am really ill. It is better to let Qi Guogong lead the army."

"My minister agrees!"

"Duke Qi is after the meritorious service in founding the country. The so-called tiger father has no dogs, and I also think that Duke Qi is the most suitable!"

"Your Majesty, Qi Guogong is in charge of the forbidden army, which is the place where he can use his force!"

A group of ministers agreed one after another, Li Cheng was so angry that he almost cursed!

He is indeed just making an empty promise, but he has already made concessions!

Unexpectedly, Guo Peng didn't appreciate it, but when he thought of the news that Qi Guogong had revealed to him in private a few days ago, he could only suppress his anger.

In desperation, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, "Duke Qi leads the decree!"

"His Majesty!"

Duke Qi was in a hurry, but he had no choice but to cast a cold glance at Guo Peng where the old god was.

"I ordered you to be the commander, to lead the [-] forbidden troops out of the city to suppress the bandits!"

To be honest, there are not many people in the court who really care about the [-] soldiers and horses in Shou Wang's vanguard battalion. What can a mere [-] soldiers and horses do?
The capital is guarded by 10,000+ troops including the Imperial Army and Guo Peng.

As for the other three Jiedu envoys who entered Jingqin King, the slow-moving fools could tell that they didn't really want to overthrow the current new king.

"Sir, take the lead!"

Qi Guogong had no choice but to get a certificate and go out.

Of course, he was comforted in his heart, at least it was [-] troops, or a well-equipped Forbidden Army, and if they couldn't triumphantly defeat the rebels with five times their strength, wouldn't it be a joke for the world to spread the word?
"Retreat!"

……

Returning from the court hall, Li Cheng's face was livid and gloomy, the eunuchs and maids around him were all terrified, for fear of causing murder.

However, Li Cheng did not return to the imperial palace after retreating from the court, but thought about it and headed towards the harem.

Soon, he arrived outside the imperial concubine's bedroom.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still resting."

Outside the palace gate, the maid stopped Li Cheng at the door. It's hard to imagine how a mere court lady would dare to stop the emperor?

But Li Cheng didn't dare to get angry, he had tried it before.

The eunuchs and maids in the imperial concubine's bedroom are all masters of the magic sect. Last time he tried to force his way in, he was almost killed by a sword!
"I ask to see the leader."

Li Cheng put down his figure, there was no other way, now he found that only people from the Demon Sect would help him, other than that, there was no one available inside or outside the court.

And these words also meant that he already knew the true identity of the imperial concubine.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment."

The maid went in to report, and soon returned to lead Li Cheng in.

Even if he became the Son of Heaven now, he would be terrified to come here.

Finally came to the bedroom, looking at the peerless beauty lying on the bed, Li Cheng didn't dare to show a salivating look, lowered his head and said, "I don't understand, the noble concubine, the leader, why the sixth emperor raised his troops?" ?”

That's right, he agreed to him at the beginning, and he will sit on the throne.

What now?
"Why is Your Majesty so worried? Shou'er raised his troops this time not to target His Majesty, but to eliminate the treacherous villains around His Majesty."

The noble concubine's lazy voice was so charming and moving that it made people feel like there were countless ants climbing all over her body.

But Li Cheng didn't dare to show the slightest obsessive expression, but said again, "Is this true?"

The imperial concubine is the concubine of the Queen Mother of Shou, so Li Cheng came here naturally for this reason.

Of course, ever since he learned that the imperial concubine was actually the legendary leader of the Demon Sect, and that his martial arts were extremely terrifying, he once doubted whether his sixth brother was the real son of this peerless beauty, the imperial concubine.

Coupled with the many rumors inside and outside the palace over the past ten years, it made him even more suspicious.
