Chapter 126 Taking over the city defense

When Yuan Guang received the emperor's summons, he immediately changed his clothes and hurried to the palace.

His foundation in the imperial court is still shallow. Unlike other forces, he has spies in Beiguguan.

So I don't know what happened at this moment.

But when the emperor summoned himself to the palace at this time, something big must have happened.

"Is it about Li Qingxuan?"

Yuan Guang discovered that His Majesty the Emperor had a very deep relationship with Li Qingxuan.

"I hope nothing happened to Mr. Li."

Thinking like this, his pace couldn't help but speed up.

Along the way, he kept urging the horsemen.

A quarter of an hour later, we finally arrived at the palace gate.

Without even bothering to tidy up his clothes, he jumped out of the car and trotted towards the palace.

Yuan Guang was a pure scholar, and he was out of breath after running like this.

Just as he walked outside the imperial study room, he saw Xue Gang striding over.

Compared to Yuan Guang, Xue Gang was much more calm.

"Commander Xue, you are here too. Do you know what happened?"

Yuan Guang asked hurriedly.

He needs to know the information in advance so he can know how to respond next.

Looking at Yuan Guang's anxious look, Xue Gang guessed that he was worried about Li Qingxuan.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we are already at the door of the royal study. You will know soon."

After saying that, he laughed twice and walked forward.

Yuan Guang became more and more anxious when he saw that Xue Gang didn't say anything, but knowing that it was useless to be anxious, he straightened his clothes and followed him in.

Huazhi was frowning at the moment, thinking about what kind of shock the news of King Zhenbei's imprisonment would cause in the government and the public.

After hearing the report from the female officer outside, they saw Xue Gang and Yuan Guang walking in.

"I have met His Majesty."

Yuan Guang and Xue Gang saluted at the same time.

Huazhi waved her hand casually.

"My dear friends, there is no need to be polite. Xue Gang, you must already know what happened in Beiguguan. Tell Mr. Yuan."

Hearing this, Xue Gang was shocked.

He had spies in the Tianyi Guard, so he could get the information immediately, but Yuan Guang did not. He did not expect that His Majesty, who had lived in the palace for a long time, had an incomparable understanding of the situation among the various courtiers.

After calming down, Xue Gang said to Yuan Guang: "Master Yuan, this is what happened. News came from Beiguguan that the King of Zhenbei had evil intentions and was captured by His Highness King You. He was imprisoned and will be escorted back to Beijing in the near future. "

"What?"

When Yuan Guang heard the news, he was stunned and suspected that he heard it wrong.

It was actually Li Qingxuan who arrested King Zhenbei.

Li Qingxuan only has a thousand snow dragon riders, and he has always been worried about Li Qingxuan's safety.

"This this..."

After saying this word several times in succession, Yuan Guang was unable to utter a complete sentence for a while.

That was the King of Zhenbei, the leader of the military generals, and the God of War of Daxia. His boat capsized in the ditch and fell into Li Qingxuan's hands. It was simply unimaginable.

"I have summoned my two dear friends to discuss the imprisonment of King Zhenbei. King Zhenbei has a very high prestige both in court and in the opposition. I am afraid that once word spreads, it will be like an earthquake."

"We still need two beloved ministers to stabilize the situation in the court."

Huazhi's meaning is very clear. Xue Gang controls the Tianyi Guards and can use them to monitor all officials.

And Yuan Guang is the right minister of the government, and the entire cabinet listens to him. As long as they firmly support Li Qingxuan, other voices can be suppressed.

Of course, it would be best if Yang Xuanji was willing to side with Li Qingxuan.

But based on Huazhi's understanding of Yang Xuanji, I'm afraid he would choose neutrality in this matter.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will be on guard and not let anyone with ulterior motives add fuel to the flames."

Xue Gang said.

Yuan Guang frowned and said nothing.

"Mr. Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

Huazhi looked at Yuan Guang strangely.

Only then did Yuan Guang react and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what I am worried about is not the court, but foreign invasion."

"Once King Zhenbei falls, Beiyuan will definitely seize the opportunity to raise troops to invade. By then, I am afraid that Beigugu Pass will be in danger, and His Highness King You will be in danger."

After hearing Yuan Guang's words, Hua Zhi's expression also changed.

She was just thinking about the reaction in the court, but forgot about Bei Yuan's reaction.

After listening to Yuan Guang's reminder, yes, no matter how big the reaction within the court is, he can suppress it with all his strength, but once Bei Yuan attacks, can your husband stop it?

My husband is the master of Langya Pavilion, and he is not a general. It is not that easy to dispatch troops and generals, and to arrange troops and formations.

Coupled with the eradication of the Zhenbei King's gang this time, there were countless vacancies in the army.

Beiyuan has stationed 200,000 troops on the border. What will happen once Beigucheng is surrounded?

The husband asked Ji Ting to report to him and asked him to send a commander to Beiguguan as soon as possible. I am afraid this is also a sign of lack of confidence in his ability to command troops.

Huazhi's whole heart was in suspense.

After thinking for a while, Huazhi said: "Which general do you think is appropriate to send to the border as commander-in-chief?"

"I recommend Guo Huai."

Yuan Guangda said loudly.

Guo Huai is a famous Confucian general in Daxia. He used to guard the border of Dali. Later, due to poor health, he had been recuperating in his hometown.

Because the King of Zhenbei was too dazzling, Guo Huai's name did not seem so resounding.

"Okay, I immediately ordered Guo Huai to go to Beiguguan and mobilize the soldiers and horses of You and Bingzhou to defend against the enemy."

"Your Majesty is holy."

Yuan Guang breathed a sigh of relief, but still had some worries in his heart.

The capital is thousands of miles away from Beiguguan, and Guo Huai also has to mobilize troops from Youbin and two states. This delay is likely to be too late.

But now this is the best way.

Beiguguan.

Because the Zhenbei King faction was eliminated, although Zhang Wenlong's old department was re-appointed, there were still many vacancies.

Li Qingxuan simply implemented a substitution system. If the chief official was imprisoned, the official at the lower level would take over.

The soldiers are also asked to recommend talents, and those who have proven their true talents will be hired under special circumstances.

As soon as this order came out, many talents were immediately screened out, which made Ji Ting, Bai Wei and others admire them.

Only then did I realize that His Highness Youwang's skills were really extraordinary.

"Sir, according to reports from spies, the Beiyuan army is ready to move and is very likely to attack Beiguguan."

A general came to Bai Wei and said worriedly.

They had been suppressed by King Zhenbei for many years, and they hated King Zhenbei deeply. But now that King Zhenbei was gone, they felt panicked when they heard that the Beiyuan Army was coming.

Bai Wei also frowned.

They still remember when they followed Zhang Wenlong to guard the border. Although Zhang Wenlong was also very powerful, he lost more than he won against the Beiyuan army.

It wasn't until King Zhenbei came that the situation was reversed.

Now he seems to have returned to the fear of Bei Yuan in that era.

"You are on patrol here. I will immediately go to His Highness Prince You for instructions."

After Bai Wei finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, a group of heavily armored cavalry appeared on the street. Everyone was wearing thick armor and had ferocious masks on their faces.

They formed a square formation and advanced neatly, moving like a mountain.

The general walking at the front was holding Fang Tian's painted halberd and wearing black armor.

Arriving at the foot of the city wall, Ye Cangqiong raised his hand, and the troops behind him immediately stopped neatly and issued orders and prohibitions.

"I will take over the city defense under the orders of King You."
