Chapter 1041 Entering Bauhinia City

Chapter 1041 Entering Bauhinia City

Bauhinia City.

Imperial Palace.

A group of civil and military ministers gathered in the hall. Now that His Majesty has passed away and the Prime Minister has died suddenly, the entire court has become a mess. The kings are secretly trying to win over the civil and military officials in the court. Four of the six ministers are sick and can't go out.

The most important thing is that recently, there has been an undercurrent in the court. It seems that there is a big hand behind it, adding fuel to the flames, making the already chaotic court shaky again.

"Report!"

"Lord Li, Dayu's envoy requests to enter the city!"

"Hmm?"

Li Xiang frowned slightly. After hitting a wall in the Imperial Master's Mansion, he now has to accept the order and temporarily take charge of the court affairs.

The Imperial Master closed the door to visitors, cutting off the last possibility of saving Dayan!

Now, he is temporarily in charge of the center, but he is also controversial.

"Go, invite all the princes and nobles to come and discuss matters!"

"Welcome Dayu's envoy with state etiquette!"

"Yes!"

Li Xiang is still quite prestigious. Although he has not served as the prime minister, he is now in charge of major affairs and can be said to have a final say.

At noon, Dayu's envoys came, but there were only two figures, a scholar who looked frail, and a burly man with tiger eyes.

"You two, Lord Li is now in charge of the center, please come in!"

"Oh?"

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked calmly: "As far as I know, the position of prime minister in Dayan is vacant now. I wonder if Lord Li will be the prime minister, or..."

"Your Excellency!"

"This is the state affairs of Dayan, so don't bother with it!"

Su Fang's face was not good, and even looked at Jia Xu with a cold look, after all, Dayu's troops were still outside the city.

Dayan's current situation, and even the death of His Majesty, may be inseparable from Dayu.

"Your Excellency is wrong!"

"If Lord Li is now the prime minister, we will naturally use the power of the prime minister to deal with him!"

"If Lord Li usurps the throne, we will definitely not discuss it with the flatterers!"

"This is the law of etiquette!"

"How can we neglect it?"

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Su Fang was also in trouble. Li Xiang is not the prime minister now, but he has gathered a group of important officials, and naturally exercises the power of the prime minister. When the country was in turmoil, the court officials did not openly oppose it.

But if Li Xiang is not the prime minister, wouldn't it be Dayan's loss of face?

"Please, both of you!"

"You will know after you go in."

Jia Xu looked at him meaningfully, and naturally did not ask any more questions.

Su Fang's eyes fell on Li Cunxiao behind Jia Xu, and a deep fear flashed in his eyes.

This person has a restrained aura, and judging from his figure and appearance, he is definitely not a cultivator.

But a general on the battlefield who can control his own aura like this must be a legend.

"Announce, the envoy of Dayan is here to see you!"

"Please!"

Su Fang led the two to the front of the palace, and the guards in front of the palace stopped Li Cunxiao directly: "You are not allowed to bring weapons into the palace!"

"Why?"

Li Cunxiao's eyes widened, and Jia Xu beside him stopped and remained silent.

The guard in front of the palace said in a deep voice: "This is the rule of my Dayan!"

"I am a general of Dayu, and I don't need to abide by the rules of Dayan!"

Li Cunxiao did not give in, and a faint murderous aura spread. The general in front of the palace felt cold all over, and a trace of cold sweat slid down his forehead, but he still said firmly: "No matter where I am from, when I come to Dayan, I must abide by the rules of Dayan!"

"Can you stop me?"

There was a bit of contempt in Li Cunxiao's eyes, and the general in front of the palace still did not give in: "This is my duty. If you want to go in, step on my body to go in!"

"Okay!"

Li Cunxiao's hand The long spear swung, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Jia Xu glanced at him and said calmly: "Forget it, General Li, since Dayan doesn't welcome us, we don't have to enter this hall!"

"We'll see the outcome on the battlefield!"

"Yes!"

Li Cunxiao held the spear and clasped his fists. Su Fang's eyelids jumped and he looked at the general in front of the hall: "General Gao, we are guests from afar, let's break this rule!"

"No!"

General Gao did not retreat at all, his eyes were firm, staring at Li Cunxiao: "If you want to enter the hall, take off your armor and put away your weapons!"

"Impossible!"

The two of them were deadlocked here, and in the hall, Dayan's civil and military officials were arguing.

"This time, Dayu sent an envoy with the intention of peace talks."

"Now Dayan is facing the danger of national destruction, and this peace talk is our last chance. As long as we can meet their conditions, we will get a chance to breathe and may be able to turn the situation around!"

"Peace talks?"

"No peace talks!"

"The main forces of our West Yan Army and East Yan Army have withdrawn to Zijing City. There are now hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city. Even if Dayu has a million troops, it is impossible for him to negotiate easily!"

"Besides, since they took the initiative to talk, they must be confident. Not enough!"

"As the strongest country in the Central Plains, how can Dayan bow down so easily?"

"Hmph, Lord Chen, it's already this time, and you are still the strongest country in the Central Plains. Dayu's million-strong army has already reached the outside of my Zijing City!"

"Don't harm Dayan for your own selfish reasons! It's better than eternal damnation!"

"Although Dayan has lost a large area of ​​land, there are still nine counties behind Zijing City that can be relied on!"

"As long as we can take a breath, even if we are given half a year, Dayan can regroup and take back the lost land!"

"I advocate peace talks!"

"Yes, in this peace talk, I, Dayan, will do whatever it takes to keep Dayu stable."

"As long as they agree to withdraw their troops, any conditions can be considered!"

"I also second the proposal, we can have peace talks!"

The civil officials said the word "peace talks" with their heads held high, without any shame on their faces!

"Enough!"

Luo Tian, ​​who had never spoken, had a sullen face and slammed the table, saying: "With the enemy at hand, you gentlemen are so disregarding the interests of the country. Who told you that Dayu came here to negotiate peace?"

"Why does Dayu want to negotiate peace?"

"Now that they are at the peak of their military power, how can they do what you and I want?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Luo Tian's words. The Minister of Revenue sneered and said: "What the Marquis Shenwu said is right, but my Dayan can have the current situation thanks to you. In just half a year, we have suffered heavy casualties!"

"My Dayan can have the current situation thanks to you, the Marquis Shenwu!"

"You!"

Luo Tian's eyes were red with anger, and he clenched his fists tightly, but he couldn't say a word.

Li Xiang frowned and shouted, "Stop arguing, let's meet Dayu's envoy first!"

"Right."

"The most urgent thing is to find out Dayu's intentions!"

"Why doesn't Dayu's envoy enter the hall?"

Everyone looked out of the hall. After a moment, a burly figure holding a bloody spear and a thin scholar walked into the hall. Zi Wuji and Luo Tian both stared at him.
