Li Yinhui and Su Pingbei, ensuring they acted entirely according to his wishes.Even, he may have calculated himself in as well.He was certain he would send Su Ping north to defend the most important...Chapter 1146: Urgent Appeal

"We, your servants, humbly present this to Your Highness."

All officials rose to see him off.

However, when Li Chen's figure disappeared from the scene, someone suddenly realized something.

Zhang Biwu's location has not been announced!

After the new policy, the cabinet has become a mere shell. All power has been divided among the three ministries. The newly released adjustment plan has also made it clear to everyone that the East Palace did not intend to completely eliminate the cabinet faction.

The distribution of officials in the three provinces basically maintained a 64 split between the Eastern Palace and the cabinet factions.

The Donggong faction has a greater advantage, but it hasn't completely taken over the cabinet.

This also conforms to political norms.

After all, since Zhao Xuanji didn't fall, the need for the Cabinet faction to exist would inevitably remain.

You have to know, the group of officials in the imperial court with the most seniority and experience are mostly from the cabinet faction.

If one were to be killed simply because of their faction affiliation, then the Three Provinces would likely not have enough people to fill them.

All else was normal, but one of the soul figures of the Cabinet faction, Zhang Biwu, did not receive any positions.

Everyone looked at Zhang Biwu with a strange gaze, but at this moment they found that Zhang Biwu had disappeared at some point.

Zhao Xuanji got up and gave Fu Yuzhi a look.

The two left in a hurry.

"Don't say anything, go back first. Something big has happened." Zhao Xuanji said in a deep voice.

Fu Yuzhi's mind was extremely sharp. She asked, "But what was it that Chen just reported about"

Zhao Xuanji's face was grave as he nodded.

Fu Yuzhi thought carefully and pursued, "What could have caused the Prince to be so serious...a rebellion by a vassal king"

"Or···"

Another, even more terrifying possibility crossed my mind. Fu Yuzhi's face paled as she exclaimed, "Liao!"

Zhao Xuanji turned his head and glared fiercely at Fu Yuzhi, saying, “Didn't I tell you not to say anything!”

Fu Yuzhi quickly shut her mouth.

At this moment, Zhao Xuanji had already rushed out of the palace in a hurry.

Following closely behind Zhao Xuanji, Fu Yuzhi's footsteps never faltered. However, he only felt his feet were light as if floating on air, his heart beating faster and faster, to the point where he felt a sense of dizziness all over.

Because he thought of something terrible.

If it was truly the Liao Kingdom invading, then this matter should be obvious: the East Palace just received the news, so how did Zhao Xuanji know about it

Guessing

Did you already know this

She didn't dare to follow this line of thought. Fu Yuzhi held her breath and focused, pushing aside all the thoughts in her mind, and followed Zhao Xuanji closely.

East Palace, the Lecture Hall of the Eastern Imperial Court.

Li Chen returned with Chen Tong, followed by Su Zhen Ting.

"How long has it been" Li Chen asked, not even having time to take a sip of his tea.

Chen Tong's face was grave. "The news was relayed by light-footed martial artists from the Jinyiwei, who traveled in relays. The incident appears to have happened last night. Yueya Pass had absolutely no preparation whatsoever, and there were even remnants of inner informants cooperating within the pass, resulting in heavy casualties. By the time the news arrived, the dead and wounded numbered over a thousand."

Su Zhen Ting beside him gasped.

Even if he didn't know the situation before, as soon as he heard about Yueyaguan, he knew that the Liao Kingdom had sent troops.

Those six hundred thousand iron cavalry were always a major concern for the Qin Dynasty.

"Last night...until now, it's been almost more than ten hours."

Li Chen looked at Su Zhen Ting and asked, "Sixty thousand Liao army cavalry besieged the Guan. If they recklessly attack Yueya Pass, in General Su's opinion, how long could Yueya Pass hold out"

It's hard to say.

Su Zhen'ing immediately replied: “The main issue is that there are still remnants of internal agents within Yueya Pass. We currently have no information about the front lines. If there are many internal agents or they hold high positions, then it's possible...Yueya Pass may have already fallen."

Bang!

Li Chen punched the table with a fist, saying word by word: "Zhao Xuanji!!!" solve his problems for him first"Gong Huiyu slightly frowned and glanced at Li Chen before coldly saying, "I will have him come over as soon as possible."Perhaps it was the urging of the deadline, or...
