Because a few days ago, shocking news came from Xindi.
Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Di State were defeated at the Yinshan Fortress. After fighting for only half a day, they fled back to the Di State, abandoning their weapons and armor.
The damage ratio is gratifying!
It was a great victory that boosted the morale of countless people!
But it happened at this time.
Zhao Ying's only son, Zhao Ben, was convicted by Prime Minister Luo Yan of the serious crime of disobeying military orders and should be sentenced to beheading according to military law.
After the news came back, Jiangcheng was in an uproar. The next day at the court meeting, Changping Marquis Zhao Ying brought a group of clan elders to the court.
Sometimes the crowd was outraged and accused Luo Yan of being arbitrary and taking revenge.
Zhao Ben, who sometimes shed tears, was devoted to serving his country, but was too eager to make achievements that he was sentenced to death.
Let Zhao Ji stop Luo Yan's evil behavior.
Zhao Ji said that was indeed the case.
Then he used a communication talisman on the spot in the court.
But... no one answered the call.
He was so angry that he issued an imperial decree on the spot.
Send someone to the new place.
As a result that day.
This man was attacked by an unknown enemy and was delayed on the road.
When he arrived, Zhao Ben's head had just fallen off for less than a quarter of an hour.
The blood was still hot on the ground.
Along with Zhao Ben, thirty-six new royal family members were also beheaded.
His crime was the same as Zhao Ben's, disobeying military orders, resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands of comrades, and he did not repent afterwards and even believed that he had performed a great service.
The news was reported back to Jiangcheng.
It immediately caused a sensation in the entire court.
The Zhao clan members wished they could eat his flesh alive.
The new policy for the new land had already caused the Zhao family to lose a lot of benefits.
Luo Yan's action this time caused the loss of nearly one-third of the new talents of the royal family.
Who can withstand this?
In anger, they jointly requested Zhao Ji to recall Luo Yan.
This time the imperial edict went smoothly.
After receiving the imperial edict, Luo Yan immediately set out to return to the court.
However, he was accompanied back to the court by the Zhao army that participated in the Battle of Yinshan.
besides……
An army of 100,000 that disappeared from the human world for several days but actually won the Battle of Mingdu.
Including Zhao Ning, who had just made a great contribution but was in a coma.
It's just when the army triumphs.
It's already late.
Countless eyes were focused on the gate of Jiangcheng.
However, Luo Yan turned a blind eye and entered the city openly with his most elite soldiers.
Without taking a break, he went straight into the palace.
The elders of the Zhao family, as well as the Wei and Han families who wanted to add fuel to the fire, went to the palace to meet the emperor at the same time.
But he was rejected by Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji's reason was simple: Luo Yan had committed a serious crime, and he would be punished in court tomorrow. But at the same time, Luo Yan had made great contributions in the Yinshan battle, and it was not appropriate to commend this merit to a guilty minister in court. But if he did not commend him, he was afraid that it would chill the hearts of the soldiers, so he had to have a victory celebration banquet.
Everyone could only return home in disappointment, eagerly waiting for tomorrow's court meeting.
Celebration banquet.
The generals and soldiers were quite happy and did not have any major complaints against Luo Yan because of his killing.
After the toasts.
It was a mess.
Zhao Ji ordered his men to send these soldiers back to their residence, but left Luo Yan alone.
In front of Chongli Hall.
A table.
Two chairs.
Two cups of tea.
The night wind blows.
It blew away some of the heat.
Zhao Ji looked at his old friend's hunched figure and couldn't help but feel sad. He raised the tea in his cup and offered him a toast: "Prime Minister Luo, thank you for your hard work!"
Luo Yan picked up the cup tremblingly and clinked it with Zhao Ji. Because his hands were shaking too violently, half of the cup of tea spilled on his lapel.
Just like the drinks just now.
The clothes were emitting the odor of alcohol, and the sweat from the long journey really smelled unpleasant.
He was a little annoyed: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"well!"
Zhao Ji sighed: "If you keep all that blood and sweat, you still have many years to live. Why are you so anxious?"
A smile appeared on Luo Yan's haggard face: "Now that the Zhao family is gaining momentum, the three families are bound to divide the Li. Now is the time to cut off the stubborn disease of the Great Li with one sword. Luo Yan deserves to die for his immortal achievements at this time!"
Zhao Ji understood in his heart.
Although the interests of the Zhao clan have been damaged and they have many complaints about the imperial court, the direct hatred still falls on Luo Yan.
The prestige of the king and the prince among the royal family is growing.
Young people are full of energy.
Everyone wants to achieve great things.
The lineage of Marquis Changping made many stupid moves.
The royal family's decision-making is aggressive.
Most of the young people in the royal family have already turned their backs on the royal family, even Zhao Kuo, the youngest son of Zhao Ying, is the same, but he is hesitant because of family affairs.
certainly.
There are still quite a few who always insist on the clan-centeredness, and some of them even take radical actions.
This part stands out.
Luo Yan cut off more than half of it with one strike.
Zhao Ji sighed: "If only Luo Xiang was here, there would be even greater achievements!"
Luo Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Although the prince is young, he already has the appearance of a heroic ruler. Although the prince consort is casual, he also has a sincere heart. Many young people in the Zhao family are striving to become stronger, and the students in the academy are even more concerned about the people.
From now on, there will be no shortage of talents in the court of Dali!
The old minister was mediocre in his youth, but eventually entered the court.
In order to flatter the powerful and gain status, he abandoned his wife and daughter.
Getting up early and staying up late, working with all my energy.
Over the years...
Tired!
It's time to take a break.
When his wife left Jiangcheng, the old minister promised to give his daughter an explanation when the prosperous era came.
