At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 285: Blame Jiangnan Hou

On the surface, the Secret Service Department, the Criminal Arrest Department, and the Prison Department supervise the four states, but secretly, there is still a web of traps.

The dragnet is all-encompassing.

Luowang is the real trump card in Xiao Han's hand. In this battle between Xiliang and Jizhou, many masters in the Marquis' Mansion were exposed.

Even Xue Changqing and Gong Ye took action, one outside Shuoyin City, blocking Helian Bobo, and the other in Shangdang, blocking several great masters of the celestial realm of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

But even so, Luo Wang was not exposed. From then on to the end, he followed her silently like a shadow.

As they entered the pavilion, the melodious piano music stopped. Dayueer raised her head, looked at him, pursed her lips and said, "My lord, you must have had a good sleep."

"Comfortable."

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, with his five fingers reaching deep into her robe.

It's just killing a few insignificant little ants.

Dayue'er shook her head. "Compared to you charging into battle, traveling thousands of miles, and trampling over Jizhou City, it's nothing."

If Dayue'er wasn't there to guard Shuiyun Mountain, he would really be worried.

"Good moon."

"This time I brought back all the martial arts secrets from the Tingchao Pavilion. You can try to seize them when you have time."

He exerted a little force with both hands, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Study hard and practice hard, and strive to break through the land fairyland as soon as possible."

"Son."

Dayueer said angrily: "Sister Qingyao is right beside us, you can't do anything stupid."

"I can't see anything, I can't hear anything."

A light voice came from not far away.

Naturally, he had to test the girls' martial arts skills to see if they had made any progress.

Mistress Ning Xi was weak and had poor martial arts skills, so she was the first to be defeated, followed by Xiaoyue'er and Miaoyu.

In the end, only Qingyao and Dayueer were left. They fought with Xiao Han for thousands of moves, but were finally defeated.

Especially the girl Qingyao, who was very low-key, but actually stepped into the Half-Step Zhixuan Realm. She was just one step away from entering the real Zhixuan Realm.

His attainments in swordsmanship were only second to Dayue'er's. He first used swordsmanship, but was defeated by Xiao Han's domineering swordsmanship. Then he switched to palm techniques, holding up the two mountains with his hands, to meet Xiao Han's domineering swordsmanship.

He and Dayue'er, one on the left and one on the right, cooperated with each other and attacked from both sides. Dayue'er's supporting Yue hand was more exquisite and powerful.

He taught several girls martial arts for several days in a row. Even Da Meir, the former princess of Qingzhou, and Murong Yi, the princess of the grassland, had learned many exquisite moves.

However, Da Meir's comprehension is obviously better than Murong Yi's. She can learn something quickly and apply it to other situations flexibly.

The Qi County Academy has been mostly built. It is located on the bank of the Yellow River and is extremely large. Last autumn and winter, when the war between Xiliang and Jizhou was raging and the situation was precarious, the construction of the academy did not stop.

The provincial government office provides money when needed and people when needed. Now that we dominate four states, it is the time to recruit people.

Xiao Han wanted to seize the time to build a city for the academy so as to recruit scholars to serve him.

With Master Xun's reputation, if he were to be appointed as the chief academic officer of Qi County Academy, scholars from poor families all over the country would surely come to him upon hearing the news.

His requirements are not high, as long as there are a few more talents like Xiahou Qing and Gu Yun.

If Master Xun knew about this, he would definitely be very critical of me.

All of these three people are outstanding people. Even Xie Xuanli, the famous strategist in the past, was suppressed by these three people and could not even raise his head.

At present, Xiao Han and Hu Xia’s staff team is headed by Guo Tu, Pan Yuanshao, Xiahou Qing, Luo Wentong and others.

They are all capable of making plans and winning battles thousands of miles away, and managing government affairs and ensuring the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Early March.

Capital.

Inside the Imperial City. Inside the Imperial Palace's Council Hall.

The emperor was summoning his confidants because the memorial from Xiliang was sent to the Ministry of War yesterday.

"Tell me everything."

"How do we deal with this?"

The emperor, who was in his forties, had a gloomy face and was intimidating without even getting angry. He threw the memorial in his hand on the table.

"Xiao Han turned the tables and threw the blame onto the Marquis of Jiangnan and the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei."

The emperor was in a bad mood: "They said they colluded with the Northern Wei to seize power and usurp the throne."

"My secret decree to Marquis Jiangnan has also been sent up."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, "He is really demonstrating to me and asking for an explanation from me."

The ministers below looked at each other and exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

Now that things have come to this, what else can we do?
Deal with Xiao Han?

Mobilize a large army to besiege Xiliang?

Are the 500,000 Xiliang Cavalry vegetarians?

At this time, it was a blessing that Xiao Han did not lead his troops south. What else could the imperial court use compared to these 500,000 cavalrymen?

Even though the emperor was furious at the moment, he did not dare to make any move, for fear of angering the Marquis of Xiliang.

What else did they say?
If nothing you say can solve the current dilemma, then everything you say will be wrong and it is better to say nothing.

"Are you mute?"

After a long silence, the emperor frowned and cursed, "What's the point of me raising you?"

"His Majesty."

Gao Qian, who was standing by, suddenly said, "I don't remember your Majesty ever issuing an imperial decree to Zhu Jian."

The emperor was stunned.

The ministers immediately reacted and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Zhu Jian has evil intentions and colluded with the Northern Wei to usurp the throne. He should be killed."

"Death at the hands of Xiliang Hou is truly a cause for celebration for the entire world."

"Your Majesty, please do not blame Xiliang Hou for this matter."

The emperor's expression eased slightly, he patted his forehead, smiled bitterly and said, "I've been too tired recently, I even remembered the imperial edict wrongly."

"Gao Qian, you are right to remind me. I have never issued an imperial decree to Zhu Jian. It was this traitor who forged the imperial decree."

"Your Majesty is concerned about state affairs and shoulders the heavy responsibility of hundreds of millions of people. You also need to take care of your health."

Gao Qian knelt down and said, "Marquis Xiliang is a loyal and brave man, and he has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion. Your Majesty should reward him."

This was a last resort. As the emperor, she could not afford to refuse the reward, so she could only appease the Marquis of Xiliang and the hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen under his command.

"Your Majesty should also issue an order as soon as possible, asking the Dali Temple to work with the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate Zhu Jian's case. This man has many accomplices, not only the son of the Zhenbei Marquis, but also many soldiers and generals from the Liao Dynasty."

"You must punish him severely. Your Majesty's prestige must not be tarnished."

Doing so is equivalent to putting all the blame on Zhu Jian and the main generals of the two Liao troops, and then completely removing it from the records.

Although it seems ruthless, it is actually the best way. If we don't do this, both parties will lose face.

The most important thing is that the imperial court must now stabilize Xiao Han and not let him go south. At that time, face will be small and the world will be big.

Moreover, the main general is already dead, and a dead man cannot speak, so letting him take the blame is undoubtedly the best choice.

Doing so would inevitably discourage the soldiers of the two Liao states. Without the emperor's approval and the order from the Ministry of War, even if they were given the courage, they would not dare to march north to attack Shangdang.
