At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

The original puzzled look disappeared, and was replaced by a look of extreme shock.

"Xia Yun...how dare he do this?!"

Pei Yan exclaimed in shock.

According to the laws of Daliang, the height of all city walls within Daliang must not exceed that of the capital. Violators will be punished for gathering a crowd to plot treason.

The height of the four city walls of the capital is only about five or six zhang.

This means that the height of the city wall of Hangzhou alone is more than twice that of the capital!

more importantly.

When the Zhejiang War was still going on, the empress had personally visited Hangzhou!

This also means that the empress already knew that the city wall of Hangzhou was more than ten feet high.

And the empress did not impose any punishment for this!

The intention of covering up is obvious!

After dozens of breaths, Pei Yan slowly came back to his senses from his shock, and he no longer had the thought of overthrowing Xia Yun in one fell swoop.

"It's not that Xu is unwilling to submit an impeachment petition. It's just that Xia Yun is currently in the limelight. As long as he doesn't actually lead his troops to cause chaos, Your Majesty will not punish him."

Xu Miao let out another sigh.

However, just as the two of them were silent, the Xu family's housekeeper appeared in the lobby again.

"Master, I just received the latest news that a baggage troop under Xia Yun's command is rapidly approaching the capital and is expected to arrive at Deshengmen soon."

The butler looked very hurried. It was obvious that he rushed back to Xu's house as soon as he heard the news.

Baggage train?

Xu Miao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Why come and report this kind of news?"

According to Daliang regulations, the mobilization of troops is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and there is no need to report to him.

"Master, I heard that the baggage train coming to Beijing this time is different. The Ninth Prince and the Minister of War, Lord Lei, have already arrived at Deshengmen, and many others are also on their way to Deshengmen."

The butler still looked a little panicked.

It’s because what is actually happening outside is far more serious than what he said.

The number of court officials who went to Deshengmen accounted for as much as half of the officials in the capital!

Not only that, most of the common people in the capital are now heading towards Deshengmen like a flood!

At this point, Xu Miao finally realized that something was wrong from the housekeeper's voice and reaction.

"Notify the guards to head to Deshengmen immediately!"

Xu Miao stood up from the armchair and immediately decided to go to Deshengmen.

A mere baggage troop could actually cause such a sensation in the capital.

He wanted to see what was so unusual about this baggage train!

Pei Yan standing beside him also stood up.

Soon, the two men left the Governor's Hall and set off in a sedan chair accompanied by hundreds of guards.

……

At three poles in the sun.

Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"In short, this alliance with Dayuezhi, Yindu and other countries is to eliminate the threat from the northern border in one fell swoop. As long as our army can win in Changchun and advance the troops to the northern desert area, the united army can come out in full force..."

Xu Jinsong, sitting on a chair in the main hall, had been reporting to the empress for nearly an incense stick of time.

However, there was still no sign of fatigue on his face.

This is because the plan to unite with Dayuezhi, Yindu and other countries was planned by Xu Jinsong alone.

As for his purpose, it is very simple, which is to maintain long-term stability in the border areas.

The empress was also very pleased about this.

Although Xu Jinsong had served as the head of the cabinet for decades, when the Daliang Dynasty was truly in crisis, he remained as strong as ever.

However, just as Xu Jinsong finished his report and was about to leave the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Suddenly, a young eunuch hurried into the hall.

"Your Majesty, there has been a sudden large-scale riot in the capital, and all the people are rushing to Deshengmen!"

The young eunuch spoke hurriedly.

"Deshengmen?"

"What happened?"

The empress's eyebrows jumped. This sudden change was totally beyond her expectations.

This gave her a bad feeling in her mind.

"I heard from the people that it seems that the baggage train under Lord Xia Yun has entered the capital."

The young eunuch responded immediately.

At this moment, Xu Jinsong, who was sitting on the chair, also frowned.

"Why does the baggage train have to go to Beijing?"

Xu Jinsong opened his mouth.

According to previous rules, things like baggage trains did not need to enter the capital.

Even if a local governor came to Beijing, the baggage train would go directly to the Langtan Camp.

"In reply to your question, I don't know, but almost everyone is rushing to Deshengmen now, including some court officials."

The young eunuch shook his head.

Xu Jinsong's problem obviously exceeded his understanding.

Just when Xu Jinsong was about to ask further questions.

The empress suddenly spoke again.

"Since all the ministers in the court have gone, Lord Xu, why don't you and I go there as well?"

At this moment, all the worry in the empress's eyes disappeared.

She had vaguely guessed the truth of the matter, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel curious.

The battle in the northern border was imminent, and Xia Yun urgently dispatched baggage troops from Dai County to Beijing.

There is no doubt that the baggage train must be transporting sophisticated weapons produced in Dai County.

Especially the iron chariot!

To this day, she still remembers it.

"If Your Majesty intends to go, this old minister is willing to follow."

Xu Jinsong nodded happily.

Things have come to this point. Although Xia Yun's behavior was not in accordance with the rules, he has done many things that were not in accordance with the rules in the past few months.

The empress had never punished him, and today was no exception.

Soon, under the protection of hundreds of imperial guards, the empress and Xu Jinsong left the Hall of Supreme Harmony together.

……

As the time was approaching noon, the autumn light shone on the city walls of the capital, and the bustling crowds were already sweating profusely.

The streets on both sides of Deshengmen were crowded with people. Ordinary people were living close to each other, and the narrow space left no room for maneuver.

The powerful and influential officials appeared on the city wall of Deshengmen, with their entourage and guards on both sides, all looking into the distance with curious looks on their faces.

There is no doubt that all the people appearing near Deshengmen at this moment came for the rumored baggage train!

Xia Yun, the generalissimo of the imperial court's northern expedition, was now in front of Deshengmen with Xiao Yan and Lei Zhenning, leading hundreds of cavalrymen.

Xiao Yan and Lei Zhenning's faces, like everyone else's, showed a look of curiosity.

As for Xia Yun, he glanced around, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Although he anticipated that the arrival of the baggage train into the capital would cause heated discussions in the capital, he did not expect it to cause such a sensation.

He even saw many important officials of the imperial court among the crowd!
