On the second day, Liuzhou City Army reported to the imperial capital. Although others also had channels for information, it was still much slower than the imperial court's 800-mile rush.
Therefore, everyone in the imperial capital is staring at this military report.
Prince Consort's Mansion.
"Can I get a copy of the military report?" the fifth princess asked her maid.
"Princess, this military report is classified as top secret and cannot be touched!" the maid on the side said with a solemn face. She wanted to take a look at the military report before it was sent to the palace, but she was immediately shouted back without giving any face.
You must know that she represents the fifth princess, and the fact that she can not give the fifth princess any face shows how important this military report is.
"Top secret? It seems that the war in the north is not going well!" The fifth princess's face showed solemnity for the first time, and she looked into the depths of the palace. Her eyes were so profound that she could only wait.
In the Qingting Pavilion of Bihu Lake, a man with a white complexion is fishing for koi in the lake.
"Top secret?"
"It seems that the situation in the north is not good!"
…
Such a scene is being staged all over the imperial capital, and everyone is speculating whether there is something wrong with the war situation in the three northern states, because according to time calculation, Hu Sheng should have entered the three northern states by this time.
At the same time, deep in the palace, Song Jiancheng looked at the military report in his hand and almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Did he choose a fool to be the general in the northern expedition?
"Have Hu Jun, Su Chaoen, and Lu Yan come over here and see me immediately!!!" Song Jiancheng roared angrily. Sun Hai was so frightened that he didn't even dare to ask what happened, so he could only set off to find the three of them immediately.
Half an hour later, three court officials rushed over without stopping, with frightened expressions on their faces. They knew without guessing that there must be something wrong with the battle situation in the three states in the north.
As Hu Sheng's father, Hu Jun's face was extremely solemn, and he already had a bad premonition.
In fact, when Song Jiancheng appointed Hu Sheng as the general to conquer the north, he wanted to refuse. He knew that his son might not be the material, but the situation forced him to find no more suitable candidate than Hu Sheng, so he could only
Bite the bullet and let Hu Sheng come on.
Sure enough, there was a problem just after arriving in the three northern states. I hope the problem is not too big, otherwise he will not be able to survive.
As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, he heard Song Jiancheng getting angry inside and smashing things into pieces.
"Get in!"
Su Chaoen and the other two looked at each other and walked in timidly.
“Take it and see for yourself!”
As soon as they entered the imperial study, Song Jiancheng threw the armaments just sent from the north directly in front of the three of them. Hu Jun was the first to pick up the general report. Before he finished reading, his expression became extremely ugly. Su Chaoen and Lu Yan saw this
He immediately felt something bad, and later took the military report from Hu Jun. After reading it, the two of them had dead faces.
The defeat of the north and the death of General Zhengbei in the battle were like a thunderbolt in the minds of the three of them, especially Hu Jun. His son died like this?
He died just after arriving in the three northern states?
He couldn't believe that no matter how stupid his son was, he wouldn't be like this!
"Your Majesty, this military report..." Hu Jun asked with difficulty.
"The imperial edict on the history of Liuzhou City was sent, and the other one was sent by your confidant Zhao Hu. Do you still suspect that this military report is fake?" Song Jiancheng's face darkened and he scolded.
"I don't dare!!!" Hu Jun said with difficulty.
"Your Majesty, I think we should block the news first and this matter must not be leaked!" Su Chaoen, who had always been as stable as a mountain, could not calm down now and immediately suggested.
"Hide it? What are you hiding it for? Why don't you make it public until all three northern states fall into Beimang's hands?" Song Jiancheng angrily yelled.
"Your Majesty, I think the important thing now is not to hide the news, but to discuss what to do. According to the military report, we have not been completely defeated. Although Tuoba Hong has the advantage, he has also suffered heavy losses!" Lu Yan's face turned solemn.
He spoke immediately.
"I'm afraid the people in Beimang have also learned the news now. They won't watch Tuoba Hong die in the three northern states." Su Chaoen said.
"General Beizheng is dead..." Su Chaoen said, then glanced at Hu Jun helplessly and continued.
"In this preliminary confrontation between the three northern states, we have lost a step!"
"No! We haven't lost yet!" Lu Yan raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu has retreated to Liuzhou with the remaining troops. They can also be regarded as the strength of the three northern states. It is not our intervention. As long as His Highness the King of Chu can destroy Tuoba Hong and Mu Qingniu, this duel will still be ours.
Win!" Lu Yan said loudly, and at this time, he had no worries anymore.
The position of a prince is nothing compared to the current situation. Whoever dares to jump out at this time will be the first to die!
Listening to Lu Yan's words, Song Jiancheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, the anger on his face gradually hidden, as if he was thinking about what Lu Yan had just said.
"Prime Minister, do you think so?" Song Jiancheng turned his attention to Su Chaoen again. As for Hu Jun, Song Jiancheng directly ignored him.
"This is the only way now. We can only bet that His Royal Highness King Chu can win!" Su Chaoen said.
"But Shi Zhao didn't seem to mention this in the military newspaper!" Song Jiancheng continued.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is waiting for your decree, please ask the Emperor to hand over the power of the three northern states to His Highness the King of Chu!" Lu Yan shouted loudly again.
Hearing this, Hu Jun's eyes froze. The God of War in the southern part of Da Qi had been running it for twenty years, and it was like a piece of iron. Even Song Jiancheng couldn't do anything to Bai Yuanzhou. Now if the three northern states were given to Song An, then the imperial court of Da Qi would be in trouble.
Tang, who can still shake Song An?
"emperor……"
"I agree!" Su Chaoen spoke first before Hu Jun could speak.
"Well, since you all agree, let's confer Song An as the King of Zhenbei, in charge of all military and political matters in the three northern states, and put down the rebellion within the three northern states within ten days!" Song Jiancheng spoke slowly, startled.
Su Chaoen and the other three were shocked again.
King of Zhenbei???
In charge of all military and political affairs in the three northern states???
"Your Majesty..." Su Chaoen did not expect that Song Jiancheng would be so "generous" this time and become the King of Zhenbei. Who among the other princes could defeat Song An?
Does the emperor want to make Song An the crown prince?
"Get out!"
"I'm tired!"
Before Su Chaoen could say anything, Song Jiancheng directly chased the people away. The three looked at each other and had no choice but to leave. From the beginning to the end, Song Jiancheng didn't say a word to Hu Jun.
Su Chaoen didn't dare to say a word until he was outside the palace.
"The sky in Daqi...is about to change!"
The news that Song An was named King of Zhenbei also spread quickly in the imperial capital. For a time, everyone from all sides was panicked, and an invisible oppressive force enveloped the entire imperial capital.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" A woman with a veil on her face suddenly lit up when she heard the news, and disappeared in the next second.
Another day later, just two days before the battle of Taizhou City, Song An also received the canonization from the imperial court, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"King of Zhenbei? In charge of all military and political power in the three northern states?"
"Is Father crazy?"
