The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

After hearing Ruan Bai's question, Chang Jingyu still ignored him. This question was like an idiot's.

Since the incident in Wuping County last year, several prefectures in the north have all surrendered to Prince Lin’s Palace. How can they receive any news from the border?

Could it be that Prince Qing would write a letter to inform the emperor? Prince Qing wanted to spit in the emperor's mouth.

If Li Jiren had not specifically sent the news from Chang'an Prefecture, he, the Minister of War, would now be as blind and deaf as a man.

As for Fengyuan’s allies, is Ruan Bai crazy?

Four years ago, the Qiang people were almost wiped out by King Lin. It would take at least ten years for them to recover.

Without the Qiang people as a bond, even if the Northern Rong and Yan State wanted to help in the short term, they would be unable to do so.

Moreover, if they move, the other border troops left in Jiyang can stop them.

As for Xiqi, if Xiqi dared to move, the 300,000 troops left at the border of Yucheng would not only be guarded by the former subordinates of King Lin, but also two of the four generals of Jiyang would go to help guard the city.

Li Jiren began to deploy his troops in October last year. He fought quickly and fiercely and captured the Fengyuan Dynasty in early February this year.

All the members of the Fengyuan royal family were killed, and without a leader, Fengyuan is now a mess as Ruan Bai said.

Li Jiren also robbed Fengyuan's national treasury and the royal treasury, and distributed all the grain in the granary of Fengyuan Dadu to the people of Fengyuan. He used this method to temporarily stabilize Fengyuan.

He took the grain from several other granaries and ran away, and no Fengyuan citizen stopped him.

Perhaps, the people who were treated like cattle and horses by the Fengyuan royal family were still grateful to Li Jiren.

By the time other countries reacted and prepared to provide support, Li Jiren had already escaped.

Emperor Zhaowen's forehead veins were throbbing. What was Li Jiren going to do by bringing 100,000 troops here at this time?

Of course it is to support Li Jixin!

The 100,000 troops coming this time are just a warning.

The 400,000 troops on the border between Yucheng and Chang'an Prefecture, the 800,000 troops currently staying in Jiyang, and even the 300,000 troops guarding the border of Yucheng may come at any time.

How can the defenders of Luocheng compare with these border troops who fight with the enemy country all day long?

Emperor Zhaowen once again turned into a master of desk cleaning, sweeping all the memorials that had just been put away, as well as the newly placed tea cups and fruit plates, to the ground.

This time, the eunuchs would not dare to step forward unless he gave the order.

Emperor Zhaowen held a horsewhip, but did not dare to hit the ministers. He could only whip the imperial desk desperately.

Li Ruijing looked at the crazy Emperor Zhaowen. He now felt that it was not only Emperor Zhaowen who was crazy, but also Emperor Huiren four years ago and himself.

This guy is just like this. Not to mention comparing with Zhao Ying, he is far inferior to Zhao Jie. The late emperor must have been sick and confused to choose him!

I am crazy to think that he has some of the shadow of the late emperor and may be a good king.

Damn it, he was blinded by greed. Li Ruijing cursed himself in his heart and didn’t want to say a word the whole time.

When Emperor Zhaowen finally finished venting his anger, he pointed at everyone and shouted, "Tell me, what are we going to do?"

Emperor Zhaowen knew very well that he should not vent his anger in front of these people, and he should continue to maintain the image of a benevolent monarch.

Three years ago, the biggest reason why these ministers were willing to follow the imperial edict and assist him in ascending the throne was because they thought they were like their father.

That was the image he had worked hard for many years to earn, and he couldn't break it with his own hands.

But other things were fine. If he was angry with the court officials, he could vent it somewhere else.

But as long as it involves his eldest brother's family, it's like someone has lit a fire in his heart. If he doesn't vent it on the spot, he will burn himself to death.

Whether it was his eldest brother, Li Jiren, or Li Jixin, they were all his nightmares.

Everyone looked at Prime Minister Mu again, and Prime Minister Mu cursed in his heart.

Li Jixin cannot be killed, and the Empress Dowager cannot let Li Jixin take him away. What should he do?

Is Li Jixin the kind of person who would give others a third way?

But he is the prime minister, the head of all officials. The emperor can go crazy, but he cannot.

"Your Majesty, I have an idea to make Li Jixin give up, but I don't know if it will work in the end."

"Say!"

"Li Jixin has always prided himself on his martial arts prowess. Why not set up a fighting arena outside the South Gate? Within three days, if anyone can defeat Li Jixin, he will not be allowed to take anyone with him and must leave Luo City."

"What if no one can defeat him?" Yang Ziliang couldn't help but ask.

Then Emperor Zhaowen and Ruan Bai looked at Yang Ziliang as if he were a fool.

Li Jixin is only a little over fifteen years old. Even if he has been practicing martial arts since he was in his mother's womb, even if he is extremely talented, he cannot defeat all the masters in Luocheng.

What's more, Emperor Zhaowen and the Empress had an organization of assassins at their disposal. Each of the members was extremely skilled, and it took a lot of effort for them to support these people.

But if we can avoid using these people, we should not use them, Emperor Zhaowen thought, with an inexplicable smile on his lips.

"Lord Mu, that's a good idea. However, three days is too short. As for ten days, I don't believe he can really hold out for ten days.

Spread the word, I want everyone to know that as long as you can defeat Li Jixin, as long as you don't kill him, even if you break an arm or a leg, I will make him a Palace Attendant."

The Palace Attendant, a third-rank military officer, the temptation of jumping from an ordinary citizen to a third-rank military officer was too great.

The emperor wants to use Li Jixin as a living target.

If Li Jixin was injured or died in the ring, it would be his own fault, and Li Jiren could only vent his anger on the people who harmed Li Jixin.

Several ministers observed the emperor's intentions and concluded that he was talented in this kind of calculation.

But will Li Jixin agree?

Li Jixin agreed, but added some conditions.

After hearing the news about Li Ruijing, Li Jixin almost laughed out loud three times. God helped him. This old man Mu was quite considerate.

He was just worrying about how to get Li Zhaocai to agree to his conditions without getting suspicious. Just when you're sleepy, someone gives you a pillow, hahahahaha...

Li Ruijing tried to persuade Li Jixin earnestly for a long time, saying that there were many masters in the capital, and even if you had three heads and six arms, you could not defeat so many people.

But Li Jixin agreed to it completely, but added two conditions.

After hearing clearly the conditions added by Li Jixin, Li Ruijing felt that Li Jixin was refusing in another way.

Li Jixin’s first condition was very simple: anyone who could challenge him had to be a master. If one couldn’t even beat his personal guards, he had no right to fight him.

Of course, he couldn't let all of his guards go on the field. He only brought three. If the challenger could defeat any one of them, he would be qualified to challenge him.

In other words, the challenger must be able to defeat one of Li Jixin's three personal guards before he can fight Li Jixin.

Of course, it is also possible that Li Jixin thought the person who came was a master, so he went up directly.

Li Ruijing understood this point. If everyone could only fight Li Jixin, he would be exhausted by the rotation battle.

But as long as someone has martial arts skills high enough to defeat Li Jixin, those royal guards will not be able to stop him.

The emperor would definitely agree to this, because whether or not this clause was added, Li Jixin's personal guards would not stand by and watch him take risks.

But Li Ruijing felt that the emperor would never agree to Li Jixin's second condition no matter what he said.

Li Jixin actually said that if no one could defeat him within ten days, he would not only take away the originally planned Empress Dowager and Ye Jianan, but he would also take away the top ten of this Spring Examination.

These people are the emperor's disciples, why would he take them away?

How could the Emperor possibly agree? This is a slap in the face to the Emperor!

Li Jixin looked at Li Ruijing with a playful look on his pretty face.

Taking away the Empress Dowager and Ye Jianan, isn't that a slap in Li Zhaocai's face?

Adding a few Jinshi is just to make the fight louder. I just like to slap Li Zhaocai in the face, the louder the better.

If you don't agree to this condition, then there's no point in discussing it.

Li Ruijing had no choice but to come to the Yangxin Palace again, but after Emperor Zhaowen went crazy again, he actually agreed.

Li Ruijing felt like he was going crazy and the world was hysterical.

Li Jixin smiled with great pride. Things went much smoother than he had imagined. However, he couldn't let anyone see his intentions...
