Tianlu Pavilion.

Xie Qi looked at the memorial in front of him boredly, weighed and weighed the ink pen in his hand, but still didn't write it down.

This time when Su Yanzhao went to the expedition, he took away Su Yanlian, Duke of Ding, and found a reason to send Gu Ranzhi, the Minister of Zhongshu, to patrol the border.

He originally thought that Su Yanzhao would promote the rookie in the court, and he would just attend the big and small court meetings on time as before, but he didn't expect that the man would give him half of the government affairs after changing hands.

Obviously he has not yet been in charge of the government and has no right to manage the government, but someone euphemistically called "Let His Majesty get acquainted with government affairs as soon as possible", and ordered to send a batch of papers to Tianlu Pavilion every day for his Zhu Zhu.

Forget about Zhu's criticism, all the approved documents have to be recorded before they are issued, saying that they have to read them in person when they come back...

Just as he was bowing his head and complaining, a familiar and light fragrance wafted into his nostrils, making Xie Qi, who was already sleepy, subconsciously excited.

He turned his head abruptly to look around, only to see that the servants of the maid who were serving around him were still watching their eyes, their noses, noses, noses, noses, and hearts, each standing with their hands down, and didn't feel anything strange.

Feeling at ease, Xie Qi raised his head and glanced out of the window. The sky at noon was just right, and the ground outside the palace without tree shadows was scorching hot. He couldn't figure out how to hide the visitor in the palace where there was nowhere to hide, so he waved his hand. Waving his hands, he said, "Go down, you don't have to wait here."

The servants in front of the imperial court were always vigilant, although they didn't understand why His Majesty sent someone out suddenly, they still didn't say a word, and disappeared without a sound.

Almost at the same time that Tianlu Pavilion became surprisingly empty, a dark blue figure flashed past the door, Xie Qi hadn't seen clearly how the other party came in, he was already kneeling in the middle of the room.

Xie Qi felt itchy in his heart, he was too embarrassed to ask, but he pretended to be old-fashioned with a flat face, and said, "What's the matter today, do you have an urgent report?"

Su Yanzhao said that he must practice, and on the day he came back from Xuanzhuang, he gave him some information from the Xuanwei High School Division, but Xie Qi often lived in the palace and it was inconvenient for him to come and go, all the news was delivered in paper, and he rarely saw living people.

The kneeling man raised his head when he heard the words, showing a expressionless face, and even his voice was extremely flat; "Your Majesty, Yunzhou urgently reports that King Cheng Xie Xuan led tens of thousands of troops to Jinling day and night. , The footsteps are very fast, and it is less than three days away from here."

"what?!"

Xie Qi originally leaned back on the chair in a bored manner, almost jumped up when he heard the words, and eagerly looked in the direction of the person who spoke just now, hoping that he had heard wrong or the other party made a slip of the tongue.

It's a pity that the man still had no expression on his bland face, he just lowered his head slightly, as if answering the question just now.

The thoughts in his heart were disrupted all of a sudden, thinking back to the sentence just now, Xie Qi barely found the point: "You just said... This is an urgent report from Yunzhou? Xie Xuan went straight to Yunzhou Jinling, does the prime minister know?"

Su Yanzhao went on the expedition by the nearest land route. If Xie Xuan had fought against him, he should have come directly from the north of Qingzhou, instead of going through a lot of trouble from Yunzhou.

As if to confirm his conjecture, the kneeling man nodded slightly, shook his head again, and said, "It is true that the secret report from Yunzhou is correct. The news that King Cheng led troops around Yunzhou was tightly covered, and so did his subordinates." I found out by chance a few days ago, and immediately flew a horse to report, Jiaozhou is far away, and the prime minister should have not received the secret report yet."

The young man sitting upright seemed to be digesting the huge amount of information in his words, and was silent for a while, while the kneeling man was silent, the silence flooded in like a tide, adding two points of haze to the huge palace.

"Cover tightly?" After a long time, Xie Qi laughed softly, completely unable to see any worry about being in danger.

The last time King Cheng aggressively suppressed Qing and Jiaoer Prefectures, even the deployment of Xuanwei was affected, he knew it.

Therefore, it is not very surprising that King Cheng was able to bring soldiers out of Jiaozhou quietly.

But why has it been so long since he arrived at the border of Yunzhou, and today he is only three days away from Jinling, and only Xuanwei came to report him?Where are the local officials?

There is only one explanation, Xie Yao, the king of Rui who enfeoffed Yunzhou, and Xie Xuan wore a pair of trousers.

He has been enthroned for less than a year, and he has done nothing wrong, so why are his brothers targeting him one or two?

No, he was still doing it wrong.

He should listen to the prime minister and cut the weeds and eradicate the roots to prevent future troubles, not the benevolence of a soft-hearted woman.

Bits of killing intent flashed across his heart, Xie Qi closed his eyes and leaned back to cover up the hatred in his eyes.

"You go down."

Even if he closed his eyes, he failed to erase everything he heard just now, and there were still thousands of thoughts in his mind.

How to strengthen the defense of Jinling City, how to deploy the defenders, and whether Lizhengtang would believe his empty words, all the troubles made Xie Qi, who had never experienced major events, almost miss the point.

When he opened his eyes again, Xie Qi still saw the person just now at a glance.

Kneeling as straight as a pine, his face was calm, as if he had never heard his words.

"Why are you still here?" Knowing that Xuanwei was unlikely to despise the emperor, Xie Qi's words did not bring any anger, but pure doubts.

The person rarely hesitated for a moment, and his voice was not as flat as before: "Your Majesty, King Cheng's desperate battle this time will surely win against Jinling, and now there are less than [-] defenders in the city. It will take more than a month for the army to arrive, and it will be difficult to resist."

"Before the prime minister went out for the expedition, he ordered that His Majesty must be well-prepared. The meaning of the subordinates is to send His Majesty out of the city first, and then meet with the Prime Minister before making any plans."

Xuanwei only obeys those who have Xuanzi orders, and now Su Yanzhao and Xiao Che are not in Qidu, so they have no choice but to make their own opinions.

The heart-wrenching words came to my ears word by word, but Xie Qi didn't say anything.

If no one confesses, he can still convince himself that the situation may not be as critical as he imagined, and he may be able to survive the crisis safely by notifying the Lizhengtang in advance to start deployment.

But right now someone revealed the bloody reality to him, telling him that if he didn't act, the way forward would be blocked.

so what?

Is it necessary for him to pack up his luggage overnight and follow his subordinates out of the city, leaving all the civil and military officials and the people of Jinling behind, leaving Xie Xuan with an empty Yong'an Palace?

Under the earnest gaze of the people in the palace, Xie Qi shook his head with firm eyes.

"No, I want to stay in Jinling."

The author has something to say: come to buy and leave, will Jinling keep it~
