Chapter 55: Heart-wrenching words, 3 bloody questions!

The next day.

The capital, in the Jinluan Hall.

There were civil and military officials from all over the dynasty, and there was silence in the hall. Jin Fengluan wore a crown on his head and sat on the dragon chair, with no sadness or joy on his delicate face.

Jin Fengluan looked around at the ministers and said solemnly:

"According to my order, the King of Zhenbei went to Hurong Pass to quell the Huma rebellion. In just a few days, he had already annihilated 80,000 Huma and resolved the Huma rebellion."

"Not long ago, I made him a bandit general and gave him rewards. Now he has made great achievements. Dear sir, how do you think he should be rewarded?"

After the words fell, Huang Long bowed out and said:

"Your Majesty! At the beginning, the ministers thought that the King of Zhenbei was quite resourceful, so they recommended him to go to Hurong Pass to quell the Huma Rebellion. Now, the King of Zhenbei has indeed lived up to expectations. It is really a great achievement!"

Speaking of this, Huang Long's eyes flashed with cold light, and he continued:

"Wei Chen believes that he should be announced to the capital and his majesty personally reward him, so as to show the emperor's great kindness!"

Jin Fengluan nodded, "Ai Qing's words make sense."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Li raised his eyebrows, and he thought so.

Thinking of the secret letter sent by Qin Ze, Zhang Li felt complicated at the moment, but without any hesitation, he bowed and said:

"Your Majesty! I have something to report! It concerns Beiliang and King Zhenbei!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Zhang Li.

Jin Fengluan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, "Tell me."

Zhang Li's face straightened and he said word by word:

"The King of Zhenbei sent me a letter saying that he has entered the Beiku grassland and vowed to annihilate all Hu horses."

"If Hu Ma is not defeated, he will never return to Beiliang!"

"That's why he sent me this letter. I hope your majesty will forgive me for not being able to return to Beijing to resume his duties."

As soon as these words came out, not only the ministers in the court, but even the empress could not help but shrink their eyes and take a breath of cold air. For the first time, a strange color appeared on the face that had always been calm.

Qin Ze wants to annihilate all the Hu horses? !

When these words came out, all the ministers were shocked, and Huang Long even opened his mouth with a look of disbelief on his face.

After the empress told him what he said yesterday, he followed the arrangement and went to the court today to advise Qin Ze to return to the capital. Only in this way could he win with one blow and he would never be allowed to leave the capital alive again!

And now, Qin Ze actually said that he would annihilate all the Hu horses on the Beiku grassland, and used this as an excuse not to return to the capital!

From this point of view, doesn't it mean that when he annihilated those 80,000 Hu horses, he had already thought of a way out!

Huang Long was shocked.

The ministers in the court were already talking a lot at this moment.

"General Qin's annihilation of 80,000 Hu horses has already achieved great success. Beihu will never dare to harass the border for a while. This move can be said to have definitely frightened Huma, but he actually wanted to take the initiative and go to Beiku Annihilate Huma in the grassland!”

"This is really... really..."

On the dragon chair, Jin Fengluan's chest rose and fell violently, and a rage burned in his chest.

Her eyes were as cold as ice at the moment, and although her face was expressionless, her teeth were clenched tightly.

Qin Ze said that he had gone to Beiku Grassland to annihilate all Hu horses. Is this possible?

What a lame excuse!

There are more than 80,000 Hu horses on the entire Beiku grassland. If he could annihilate the Hu horses, he would have sent people there long ago!

Qin Ze used the annihilation of Hu Ma as an excuse to refuse to return to the capital. This move was really a good idea!

It seemed that he had already expected it, so he sent the letter.

Jin Fengluan's eyes were as sharp as knives. She said coldly:

"Really? He is so ambitious that he wants to conquer the entire Beiku Grassland."

Upon hearing this, Huang Long immediately understood and followed closely:

"Your Majesty! I think that King Zhenbei's behavior is really too ambitious. There are so many wild horses on the Beiku grassland, how can he annihilate them all?"

"Even if I have made great achievements, I can't act so arbitrarily. If unfortunately I fall into the hands of Hu Ma, wouldn't it mean that I will lose all my prestige?"

"Wei Chen believes that the Northern King should be transferred to the capital immediately to resume his duties. The troubles of Beihu cannot be solved in one moment, but can be eliminated slowly in the future!"

"Now that he is leading troops into the Beiku grassland, he has not received orders from His Majesty. Could it be that he is relying on his own troops and has a plan..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Li's face turned red. Thinking of the contents of the secret letter, combined with Huang Long's current remarks, Zhang Li's anger burst out, and he said loudly:

"Your Majesty! I have three questions!"

This sudden increase in volume immediately attracted the attention of all the officials in the court.

Jin Fengluan frowned. She knew that Zhang Li, as the official secretary, was upright and loyal.

Although sometimes what he said was contrary to himself, he managed the official department in an orderly manner. He was a capable minister with real talents and learning, and he was also an important minister left by the late emperor.

Seeing his excited expression at this moment, I sighed in my heart and said:

"Go ahead."

Zhang Li was different this time. He walked out with his head held high, looked around everyone, and then his eyes fell on Huang Long, and then he said loudly:

"In the past few years, Hu horses have harassed the border and robbed the people countless times. Beiliang was already barren, and they were plundered by Hu horses. The people suffered miserably, and the population has become smaller and smaller over the years.

The King of Zhenbei led his troops into the Beiku grassland, vowing to annihilate all Hu horses. This is what everyone hopes for and what the people want!

My question is to ask you, if you have lived in a temple for a long time, do you still know the sufferings of the people? "

Although he asked everyone, Zhang Li's eyes were firmly fixed on Huang Long.

Facing this angry gaze, Huang Long's expression changed, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

But before he could react, Zhang Li continued:

"The day after King Zhenbei received the imperial edict, he rushed all the way to Hurong Pass without any delay, and then annihilated the Huma soldiers with thunderous means!"

"But you know-"

Having said this, Zhang Li slowed down his tone, and then shouted:

"The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion located in Jubeichuan was attacked by Hu Ma soldiers the night after General Qin left!"

"If it weren't for the fact that Jubeichuan is a dangerous place and there are still a few soldiers and horses to guard it, the whole family of Zhenbei Wang would have died at the hands of Hu Ma that night!"

"And the people of Shifeng City will definitely be massacred by Huma!"

"The King of Zhenbei worked hard and led his soldiers to protect his family and country, but there is a traitor who colludes with Hu Ma and intends to murder him!"

"My second question is to ask who is behind the conspiracy and colluding with Hu Ma to lure the wolf into the house!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was in awe.

The ministers only knew that Qin Ze had annihilated 80,000 troops from Beihu at the border, but the details were unknown.

Now that I heard Zhang Li's words, I suddenly understood. Zhang Li's eyes had been looking at Huang Long, and he obviously meant something, so everyone looked at Huang Long at this moment.

Huang Long was sweating profusely now, his face turning red and white.

He yelled at Zhang Li angrily: "Zhang Shangshu! Look at what I'm doing. Is this the person you're talking about? I'm the one you're talking about? Don't spray blood on anyone for no reason!"

At this moment, Jin Fengluan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a frosty face, and his fingers had already pinched the dragon robe tightly into a ball.

Although she was angry, she couldn't speak at the moment.

Zhang Lizhi's words are inspiring, but every word is heart-breaking!

On the other side, facing Huang Long's rebuke, Zhang Li ignored him, his face was solemn.

Then, in full view of everyone, he slowly took off the official hat on his head...

For this last question, you must take off this black gauze hat before you can ask it.

Zhang Li has made up his mind...
