This is actually the fourth court discussion for this matter. The Ministry of War has begun to suffer a lot: "Empress, if you use troops, the army and horses in the capital area will not be moved lightly. The soldiers available at present are only 200,000. It is spring now and it is the busy season of farming. Once you use troops, you have to recruit a large number of young and strong people to supply them to the army. It is afraid that the farming time will be delayed. If there is any famine in the coming year and grain production is reduced, I am afraid..."

The Ministry of Revenue also complained: "It is said that before the troops move, food and grass will come first. The grain in the granaries in various places is probably far from enough, so it needs to be urgently recruited from the treasurys in various places..."

Zhang An, the Minister of Rites, seemed even more angry: "I have mediated with envoys from various countries, and all countries have warned me. If a fight really starts, I will never sit idly by. Yansheng Gong's Mansion even secretly revealed the news to the ministers. If Da Chen should send troops and fight with the Yan army, Yansheng Gong will personally issue a scholarship..."

What Queen Mother Mu was thinking about was more about Chen Kaizhi's safety. Now she didn't want to think about anything else. As soon as she thought that Chen Kaizhi was in danger, she couldn't help but have a headache. She supported her forehead with one hand, couldn't breathe, and sighed deeply in her heart.

But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Kaizhi was no longer spared. Now that the Empress Dowager has made the decision, Empress Dowager Mu is determined to raise an army to avenge Chen Kaizhi.

So she now had a dark face and said sternly: "In the past few days, all departments have suffered a lot, but the Ai family has only heard that civil officials do not love money and military officials do not fear death. The Empress Dowager has issued an imperial edict. If it is Chen Kaizhi..."

Speaking of Chen Kaizhi, Empress Dowager Mu's heart suddenly beat, and her heart was indescribable pain. She subconsciously sat straight and said with a cold face: "If Chen Kaizhi was good or bad, the battle between Chen and Zhao is inevitable. I, Chen, govern the world with filial piety, could I ignore the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager? What a shame and humiliation that Beiyan seized my Longxing land. For decades, the court has been indifferent to this. There is only one Chen Kaizhi in the court. I still remember this country's hatred and family grudge. Now he and his soldiers are fighting bloody battles, I am afraid... I am afraid..."

Queen Mother Mu's eyes were red and she felt uncomfortable as if she was dying, but no matter what, she could not show weakness. Therefore, she forced her tears back and shouted sternly: "I'm afraid that at this time, he has died in battle for me, Da Chen. You... you are alone, looking forward to the front and back. In your heart, there is only money and food, and only warnings from various countries?"

Her words fell.

King Chen Zhijing of Zhao only sneered from the side, but he did not dare to object to the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager, so he said lightly: "The Empress Dowager is right. Since she wants to fight, she will beat her. If she wins by chance, she may be able to pay homage to the ancestors in heaven. Even if she loses... she will just lose the ancestral temple."

Losing the ancestral temple... This is so light.

But Chen Zhijing's words immediately caused an uproar. In fact, after saying so much, what everyone feared the most was the loss of the ancestral temple.

Zhang An, the Minister of Rites, said: "I dare to ask, is it really worth doing this? Chen Kaizhi, who did not accept the will of the court, and he was voluntarily voluntarily. He went to pull out his beards. This was the way to die. I was the Minister of Rites and mediated all countries with the orders. Chen Kaizhi had brought a catastrophe to me, Da Chen. Such a person was not guilty, but instead launched a large number of troops for him and wanted to fight the Yan army. I was wondering, what was the reason for the soldiers and civilians of Da Chen? He became a dead bone because of a criminal minister, and many wives and children were separated. The Empress, I spoke up for justice and begged the Empress to be aware of the truth."

His words resonated with many people, and they seemed to think that Chen Kaizhi had caused them a big disaster. The ministers said one after another: "I also thought that this matter was too aggressive. Chen Kaizhi was indeed seeking death. The court never asked him to recover the three prefectures of Jibei. He was arbitrarily voluntarily and had already violated a taboo, Empress..."

"Empress, if the court sends troops rashly, it will only follow Chen Kaizhi to die. Such a stupid thing cannot be done by the court."

The Empress Dowager was filled with grief and anger at her son who was most likely dead in battle, but at this time she heard someone telling Chen Kaizhi to be a sinner...

The Empress Dowager looked at everyone gloomyly, and she could feel that these people were so disobedient to the Empress Dowager, and even herself, who dared to be so unscrupulous, would have been instructed by others.

Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but glance at Chen Zhijing's face like a blade, and Chen Zhijing stood leisurely, as if nothing had happened, and even could see a faint smile from his lips.

Chen Kaizhi was finally dead, and this kid died at the right time. In fact, even Chen Zhijing always knew that Chen Kaizhi was a character, but he never expected that this guy would be so destined to be so desperate.

But Chen Kaizhi was not used by him, and he was in the empress dowager's camp. Now this person has finally been eliminated. Chen Zhijing didn't even have time to make jokes, so he was interested in avenging Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Zhijing looked at all this coldly, looking like he was not concerned about his own affairs.

But when the Empress Dowager's cold eyes swept towards him, he also looked at Empress Dowager Mu without fear.

I saw Empress Dowager Mu said word by word: "King Zhao seems to have something to say?"

This is obviously forcing Chen Zhijing to express his opinion. Chen Zhijing slowly came out and said: "Empress, what I want to say is that Chen Kaizhi is bound to die. His loyalty and courage are very admired by me. He is also a descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao. He can think of regaining the three prefectures of Jibei. I admire him very much. But no matter what, he was besieged by the Beiyan army. I think he will die. Is it worth it to do this for a dead person? Naturally, the Empress Dowager was saved by Chen Kaizhi. As a son of man, I still miss his kindness, but... a person cannot be resurrected..."

He repeated the word "death".

Every word is like a piercing Queen Mother Mu's heart. Queen Mother Mu insists on holding on, desperately suppressing the tears that are about to burst out from her eyes again, and sneering.

But at this moment, a hoarse voice came from outside the palace: "Good news, good news...Good news, great victory..."

The sound seemed to be relaying, first vaguely, then got closer and closer. After a while, the hysterical sound suddenly broke the silence in the hall.

Everyone fell silent and looked at each other.

Where is the victory?

Is it a great victory in Jibei?

How is this possible?

Oh, a few days ago, I heard that there were bandits in Jingzhou that captured the county town. Could it be that it was a good news about Jingzhou?

Chen Zhijing couldn't help but smile.

Good news... This is rare. What good news will come at this time?

Seeing that Empress Dowager Mu's eyebrows slightly raised, Chen Zhijing couldn't help but laugh, afraid that the Empress Dowager would still be hoping for some good news from Jibei.

Chen Kaizhi was dead. Chen Zhijing was almost certain of this. Even if there was a good news, it was probably the so-called good news that came from Jinan Prefecture that resisted the Yan army's southward movement, but...

At this time, Chen Zhijing's eyes flashed and he couldn't help but say, "Without any good news, was it that Chen Kaizhi led his 300 Warrior camp to defeat tens of thousands of elite Beiyan soldiers? If so, God will really help me."

His words were not so much a sigh, but rather a sarcasm…

At least the tension just now became relaxed, and some people couldn't help but feel cold, and some people who could understand King Zhao's intentions followed him and burst into laughter.

This joke is not funny at all, and even... cruel.

Queen Mother Mu was ashamed. The little hope that she had risen was completely wiped out by the damn Chen Zhijing. She suddenly realized that she shouldn't have such hope, because... tens of thousands of Yan soldiers, no matter how deduced, Chen Kaizhi and his 300 Warriors camp were impossible to resist. Even if everyone knew that defending the city had a great advantage in geographical advantages, the gap between the two sides was too big.

Until a eunuch finally rushed in panting and fell to the ground all of a sudden, he raised a memorial in his hand: "Li Dong, the governor of Jibei Prefecture, was making a great victory."

Jibei Prefecture...

In an instant, the whole hall was in an uproar.

It was really a good news sent from Zhangqiu.

But I don’t know what kind of victory it was.

Suddenly, a needle fell in the hall could be heard.

Queen Mother Mu took a deep breath, her eyes were burning, and with a little expectation, she immediately said, "Remember, read."

The eunuch was worried for a moment, and seemed to be running a little anxiously, so he took a breath. This was just a little eunuch, who had never seen such a big scene, so when he was paying attention to it, he immediately became nervous.

He knelt carefully, then opened the memorial, and read aloud: "Mr. Li Dongzhengjing, the governor of Jibei, reported: Governor Chen Kaizhi, led his army north to camp at Zhangqiu City on the north bank, and wanted to go deep into the tiger's den to find the Yan army to fight. When the Yan army heard the news, he led the army stationed in the three prefectures of Jibei, with more than 30,000 people besieging the city. The bandit army was in great force. Governor Chen Kaizhi, ordered to defend..."

When many people heard the stubbornness, they took a breath. Chen Kaizhi was really stupid. In fact, he had time to retreat. As long as he retreated back to the south bank, as long as the Yan army did not want to make a big fight, it would be impossible to attack Jinan Prefecture.

More than 300 people, plus some civilians, went to guard a fortress, isn’t this seeking death?

"Yan Chengzong, the commander of the Yan army, ordered the siege of the city. The Yan army was vast, and countless Yan army covered the sky and the sun, and was vast, like the surging rivers..."

After reading this, many people already want to kill people.

This prefect of Jibei is a very good memorial, but it is very long-winded. Do you think you are writing an article for such an urgent matter? Do you have to create some suspense?

What a ignorant guy.

But helpless, everyone had to wait patiently and continue listening.
