"Your Majesty, this old minister is pleading guilty to the Emperor on behalf of his son Zhuge Hui. Zhuge Hui has disregarded His Majesty's grace and acted recklessly in the past few days. Please punish him." Zhuge Wudi knelt on the ground and told the Emperor.

"Zhuge Hui? I remember that he is a servant in the fourth-rank palace. He should come to the morning court today. What about others?" He looked around the ministers, but he didn't see Zhuge Hui, and asked.

"I have asked Zhuge Hui to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors at home and wait for the emperor's punishment." Prime Minister Zhuge Wudi replied calmly to Ouyang Chen. He knew very well that there should be no more trouble in Zhuge's family, so he could only solve all the possibilities by himself. .

"Zhuge, I've seen him before. He's a man of temperament. If I punish him, I won't punish him. But the prime minister must tell him that if I don't see him tomorrow, punishment can't be solved." Ouyang Chen's tone changed. Said coldly to the prime minister.

"The old minister thanked the emperor for him." The prime minister hurriedly thanked Ouyang Chen.

"Apart from the prime minister, do my ministers have anything else to report?" Ouyang Chen stopped looking at the prime minister and looked at the other ministers, his tone became colder.When the ministers heard the emperor's words, they didn't dare to vent their anger, but they didn't know why he was. The new emperor ascended the throne, and his temper was capricious. He might still be smiling at the beginning, but after a while, dark clouds covered him, turning his face and refusing to recognize anyone.

"Your Majesty, I'm terrified. I don't know what the Emperor wants to say?" Han Bin, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stepped forward and asked respectfully. This Han Bin was originally the servant of the Ministry of Officials. , as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Han Bin, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, directly took over Yu Zheng's position.

"Fear? Are you afraid?" Ouyang Chen looked at them with a sneer and said coldly.

"Wait until the rebels come to the capital, and you don't have to worry about it." Ouyang Chen received the military information from his subordinates this morning.The Shanxi guard general carried out a rebellion under the banner of anti-imperialism, which caused some people from all over the country to wait and see Ouyang Chen's methods.

"Your Majesty, the Shanxi rebellion has not yet been investigated. I am afraid that the military situation will be wrong, so I dare not play it. I am afraid it is just a false alarm." Hao Yong, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said in a panic. He just received the military report this morning. He hasn't thoroughly investigated it yet, so he dare not play it, fearing that if this is a cover, Ouyang Chen's face will be furious.

"A false alarm?" Ouyang Chen glared at his ministers. In their hearts, they must have thought that his throne would not be too safe. Maybe they were happy to see such a chaotic situation and could benefit from it.

"Then I took your official hat away, do you still think it was a false alarm?" Ouyang Chen said with a sneer suddenly, his eyes were both joking and serious.

"Your Majesty, I've been convicted. I will definitely send someone to investigate the matter later. These rebellious villains are really the Emperor's opponents." Hao Yong begged Ouyang Chen in a panic.

"A rebellious villain?" Ouyang Chen's eyes were ironic. Didn't the throne under him also come from the rebellion?

"Who is your military department planning to send there?" This is what Ouyang Chen cares about.

"My minister suggested that General Shao stationed in Shijiazhuang should go and quell the rebellion." Hao Yong said to the emperor after thinking for a while.

"Shao Yan?" Ouyang Chen was somewhat familiar with the name, but couldn't remember who it was.

"Yes, General Shao is brave and good at fighting, and he has made a lot of military exploits. Besides, he is the closest force to Shanxi." Hao Yong explained to the emperor. In fact, another reason for recommending Shao Yan to the emperor was that Shao Yan was a newly promoted general in the court. The power is not big, and it has not been involved in the disputes of the court ministers, not to mention that Shao Yan has some connections with him.

"Really?" Ouyang Chen pondered for a while, his brows were furrowed, he looked around the main hall, his brows were slightly raised, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Where's General Lie?" Xiao Lie is Ouyang Chen's new general, and he was promoted exceptionally. Although there were objections and controversies in the court, he didn't dare to disobey Ouyang Chen's intention.

"General Lie has asked for leave from the Ministry of War." Yu Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, said a step forward. He also wondered that the newly appointed general had asked for leave from the Ministry of War before he took office.

"Then pass on my order and let Shao Yan lead his troops to go first, and I will decide to send that general there later." Ouyang Chen said to the ministers, waved his hand impatiently, stood up and walked out go.The eunuch waiting beside him quickly shouted loudly: "Retire."

"Your Majesty." Seeing the displeased Ouyang Chen coming out of the Golden Luan Hall.Sun Tiande, the head of the six ministers, has been guarding in front of the imperial study room. He has always been by Ouyang Chen's side, and has been hiding his identity by Zhao Rongyi's side. The people in the village are now Ouyang Chen's most reassuring people in the court.

"Send someone to call Xiaolie into the palace. If anyone resists the order, he will be killed." He ordered to the eunuch who stood tremblingly by the side. Now that Ouyang Chen is employing people, Xiaolie is a talent. How could he? will let go.

"Your servant obeys." After hearing this, the queen trotted out quickly. When the emperor was annoyed, it would be more comfortable to stay away.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of the Shanxi rebellion?" Sun Tiande asked the thoughtful Ouyang Chen after leaving the imperial study room.

"I knew this day would come. The Shanxi group is not enough to cause trouble. I am waiting for another group of people." Ouyang Chen had a mysterious expression on his face.

"Is the emperor worried about the prime minister and them?" Sun Tiande knew that Ouyang Chen had always been worried about the prime minister, but he was only a civil servant after all, and he did not hold military power.In comparison, General Ma, who holds the military power in his hand, is even more of a threat to Ouyang Chen.

"Don't underestimate the prime minister. He is playing around with Zhao Rongyi. Although he doesn't seem to have military power in his hands, the power of the handwriting around Zhao Rongyi has always been in his hands. After following Zhao Rongyi for so long, how could he not have his power? That's why I dare not touch him lightly." Ouyang Chen didn't hide anything from Sun Tiande, and said slowly.

"What if the emperor plans to deal with the prime minister? There is also old general Ma. Now he holds the military power, and he is even more of a threat to the emperor. Although Zhao Rongsheng, the king of the season, is dead, we have only accepted some of his power, and the others have been hidden. A threat." Sun Tiande frowned when he mentioned this, and he had been thinking about these things in his heart. Ouyang Chen had just ascended the throne, and his foundation was not stable. The obvious power is not scary, but the fear is that he is secretly waiting for a counterattack. people.

"I know all these things. The person I need now is someone who can help me." Ouyang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, and looked out the window. This tough and tender person didn't know what to think.

"Xiao Lie pays respects to the emperor." The person who was sent back to the palace by Ouyang Chen's decree knelt down respectfully towards Ouyang Chen.

"Get up." There were only the two of them left in the imperial study room.

"I haven't had time to talk to you alone. These days, I thank you for helping me take care of Xi'er. If it weren't for you, Xi'er might have had an accident." Ouyang Chen looked at Xiaolie with some kindness in his eyes, and stood up from the throne. Get up, walk to Xiaolie's side, and look at Xiaolie.

"The emperor is serious. Xiaolie's life belongs to Ouyang's family. This is Xiaolie's job." Xiaolie said to Ouyang Chen respectfully. Xiaolie knew very well that the person in front of him was no longer the peaceful person before. Lord Zhen, but Ouyang Chen who is cold-blooded and ruthless, only to stabilize his throne.

"You and I don't need to be so estranged. I have watched you grow up since I was a child. I know your temperament very well. I also know why you asked for leave from the Ministry of War. However, due to the current situation, I have no one available around me, so I have to rely on you. You." Ouyang Chen looked at Xiaolie calmly.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Lie doesn't have any request, but only wants to stay by Ya'er's side during this time." Seeing Ouyang Chen's expression, Xiao Lie knelt down towards him, begging him, hoping that he would let him go.

"I also know about Ya'er, and I feel sorry for that girl, but now it's not about the love between my children, my country, and Xi'er, and even you can't escape." Ouyang Chen persuaded the little girl earnestly. Lie, he never told Ouyang Chenxi about Ya'er, her body would be even more serious if she knew the news.

"Your Majesty, Ya'er doesn't have much time. She just wants to live a peaceful life, and I just want to be by her side." Xiaolie's face changed slightly, and he begged again.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the many things that Ya'er and I have done for the Ouyang family, please let me accompany her on the final journey. After that, Xiao Lie is willing to do anything for the Emperor."

"If I say that as long as you help me stabilize this country, I will promise you and give you back a good girl?" Ouyang Chen saw the determination on his face, and he knew that Xiaolie had already made a decision in his heart, and he couldn't use hard moves. Then use soft ones.

"The emperor's words are serious?" Hearing Ouyang Chen's words, Xiaolie's eyes were full of surprises. He would never give up as long as there was a chance. He would do anything for Ya'er. Back then, for Ouyang Chenxi, he always regarded himself as hers. Shadow, but when a trace of greed and desire appeared in Xiaolie's heart, he would never go back. He loved Ya'er even more than his loyalty to Ouyang's family. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of Ya'er's departure.

"How can I deceive you with my golden words." Ouyang Chen said bluntly to Xiaolie's eyes in displeasure.

"If the emperor can save Ya'er's life, I will let my minister do anything." He kowtowed deeply to Ouyang Chen.

"Okay, very good, then you have to prepare. I will give you a day. Tomorrow you will lead a hundred thousand elite soldiers to Xishan for support. I will give you a secret letter, and you will open it after you arrive." Ouyang Chen was very satisfied with Xiaolie. The reaction on his face was filled with joy.

"After you withdraw your troops and come back, I will give you a complete Ya'er." Ouyang Chen promised Xiaolie.

"The minister will lead the army tomorrow, and he will never disappoint the trust of the emperor." Xiaolie replied to the emperor, for the sake of Ya'er, he must gamble once.
