But he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to leave with a dissatisfied look on his face.

After a while, an official really came. After verifying Zhou Bin's identity, he took him to the palace.

Zhou Bin thought to himself that he had never been to the palace, so he took this opportunity to go and see what the emperor's residence looked like.

In this way, the officials carried Zhou Bin in a sedan chair and soon arrived at the gate of the palace.

When he reached the door, Zhou Bin had no choice but to walk.

The first time Zhou Bin stepped into the palace, he was shocked. It was so huge! There were palaces everywhere, magnificent and dazzling.

Zhou Bin was stunned. Thinking of his poor wife who had been living in that shabby courtyard, Zhou Bin felt very emotional.

How exciting it would be if she could see the palace with her own eyes!

Before he could take a closer look, someone came and led him into a huge palace.

At this time, there were already quite a few people standing in the palace, including officials and some people like himself, standing respectfully at the bottom of the steps.

After a while, a majestic voice rang out in the hall: "The Emperor is here!"

Everyone immediately dressed and knelt down, ready to welcome the emperor.

Zhou Bin, like everyone else, knelt on the Golden Palace.

After a while, a man in a dragon robe walked up the steps.

Everyone shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor!"

Zhou Bin also followed everyone else and started shouting.

Then a voice came from the dragon throne in front of him: "My dear ministers, please stand up."

Then everyone stood up. Zhou Bin took a peek and found that there was an old man sitting on the dragon throne in front of him. He was wearing a purple gold crown and a nine-dragon robe, and looked very majestic.

Zhou Bin thought to himself, this old man must be the emperor, he is indeed very powerful!

At this time, the emperor spoke: "Is the person who is coming down the station a successful Jinshi this time?"

The eunuch next to him hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, these are the Jinshi selected in this exam."

The emperor nodded and said, "Very good. Today I will personally test you to see if you really have real talent and knowledge."

The emperor then began to test everyone on the art of governing a country and the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics. Everyone basically answered fluently, and Zhou Bin handled it with ease.

The emperor sat on the throne, very satisfied. It seemed that the talents selected this time were very good.

Just when he was about to award official positions to everyone according to their different talents, suddenly a young eunuch ran in with an anxious look on his face.

He reported in panic: "Your Majesty, the Minister of War has something important to report."

The emperor's face changed when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "Okay, let him in quickly."

After a while, a minister ran into the hall in a panic and knelt directly in front of the emperor.

He said in a panic, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. The King of Beiliang is leading a large army to attack us, and the front line is less than thirty miles away!"

The emperor would have preferred not to listen, but when he heard it his face changed drastically: "What? The Northern Liang king's army is less than thirty miles away? How many troops did he bring?"

The Minister of War hastily replied, "He has brought all his troops with him this time. It is said that he has a total of 300,000 men and horses!"

When the emperor heard this, he almost fell off the throne.

His face turned extremely panicked: "Has this matter been investigated? Is there any mistake or omission?"

The Minister of War immediately said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely true and urgent now."

The emperor was very anxious: "Where is General Han? Why doesn't he come to see me?"

The Minister of War hurriedly reported: "General Han said he was going to inspect the military preparations and should be here soon."

The emperor felt a little uneasy at this time. The situation before him was really too tricky.

The King of Beiliang was a great overlord who dominated the grassland.

Moreover, the 300,000 cavalrymen he led were definitely extraordinary.

If they break into the capital, their Darong Kingdom will face a devastating disaster.

This is an army of 300,000, but they currently have only 100,000 troops available. How can they deal with so many enemies?

At this time, all the court officials were very nervous. Everyone was whispering, and they were all surprised by the dangerous situation before them.

They could not imagine that the King of Beiliang was so powerful that he was about to attack the capital of Dayong Kingdom. This situation was really terrifying.

The emperor could no longer wait and immediately sent someone to call General Han to discuss what to do about the matter.

But the people who were sent out did not come back for a long time, and the emperor was almost worried to death.

Just when he was getting extremely anxious and furious, the person he sent out came back.

But he did not wait for General Han, but instead received bad news: General Han actually betrayed the Darong Kingdom and defected to the King of Beiliang!
