Chapter 286 The night Zuo Chi left the palace, two hurried figures appeared in the palace in the dead of night.
I heard one of them whisper in a slightly shrill voice: "Master Liu, it's so late and you still have to enter the palace."
The little eunuch carried a small lantern and led Liu Heng, the Minister of War, who came to the palace late at night to see Emperor Zhengcang, on the gravel road, talking to him while leading the way.
Although Liu Heng is now over 10 years old, he has been the minister of the Ministry of War for more than ten years.
Although Liu Heng was born in a general family and belongs to a wealthy family, he is a kind man and does not have the bad qualities of a nobleman from a wealthy family.
At this time, he is also gentle and only slightly.
You anxiously said to the little eunuch: "The situation is really urgent.
It is best to meet the Holy One in person.
I didn't know it was so late, but it disturbed the Holy One's rest."
The little eunuch smiled and said: "Whatever Mr.
Liu said was a coincidence for Mr.
Liu.
For some reason, the emperor went to bed late today.
No, as soon as the emperor heard that Mr.
Liu was coming, he immediately called for the villain to come and lead you."
Liu Heng nodded, then he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at the surrounding scenery, and then said: "Little father-in-law, isn't this the way to the Holy Emperor's palace?"
When the little eunuch heard this, he also raised his head, looked around, and said: "Yes, the emperor is very dull today.
He has been staying in the imperial study room and never left.
Don't blame the villain for talking too much.
Mr.
Liu will enter the imperial study room by then, but he must be thoughtful."
Liu Heng said gratefully: "Thank you, father-in-law, for the tip."
When the little eunuch saw that he had arrived, he stopped talking.
Liu Heng was asked to wait at the steps of the imperial study, while he walked up to the door of the imperial study and knocked gently on the door.
He said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Mr.
Liu from the Ministry of War is here."
"Come in."
Immediately, Emperor Zhengcang's seemingly tired voice was heard.
The little eunuch heard the sound and said yes, then stood outside the door and rolled his eyes in a circle, then quickly walked to Liu Heng and said: "Master Liu, the emperor has asked you to come in."
Liu Heng nodded.
He hurriedly walked to the imperial study room.
But before walking up the steps, he heard the little eunuch whisper beside him: "Your Majesty seems a little tired.
Mr.
Liu must stay for a long time."
Liu Heng heard this.
He just said thank you, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.
He had read the "Ji Zhong Ji Zao" in his sleeve first.
Such an extremely urgent situation.
Where can I explain it clearly in one or two sentences?
"Why"
Liu Heng stood in front of the emperor's study room and paused slightly.
He couldn't help but sigh at the door panel, and finally opened the door and walked in.
"Master Liu is here."
Emperor Zhengcang raised his eyes slightly when he heard the sound and looked at Liu Heng, then lowered his head again, but raised his hand to gently rub his brow, obviously a little tired.
Liu Heng raised his eyes and saw that Emperor Zhengcang was a little tired as the little eunuch said.

He was thinking that he must thank the little eunuch properly after this.
He knelt down and said respectfully: "Weak minister Liu Heng has met the Emperor.
I disturb the Emperor's rest so late at night.
Please forgive me."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang removed the hand that was rubbing his brow, placed it on the table, looked at Liu Heng and said: "Get up.
I wonder what business Mr.
Liu has when he comes to the palace late at night?"
"Wei Chen, there is indeed something important that needs to be reported to the Holy Emperor.
Otherwise, how could Wei Chen have to go to the palace to ask for an audience so late at night?"
Liu Heng stood up and said.
Emperor Zhengcang couldn't help but frown again when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "The important thing is related to the Northern Front" These days, Emperor Zhengcang is most worried about the northern frontline.
The 70,000 returning Qiang army has to attract the attention of the whole court, and Liu Heng is the Minister of War.
Emperor Zhengcang's first thought at this time is that the northern frontier Something happened on the front line.
Sure enough, when he saw General Liu Heng quickly taking out the military record, he presented it to Emperor Zhengcang's desk, took a step back and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise.
It is indeed a matter on the Northern Front.
For more details, please read this report first before talking about it."
Although Emperor Zhengcang was a little confused after hearing this, he still reached out to pick up the report and opened it.
However, after reading it, his expression changed and he stood up directly.
His tone was even more unbelievable and he said: "What, Zuo Yuanfeng has already fought against Hui Qiang and lost?"
When Liu Heng saw Emperor Zhengcang's expression at this time, he couldn't help but started to break out in cold sweat.
He thought that when he saw this report again, he would be as shocked as Emperor Zhengcang, even more shocked than Emperor Zhengcang at this time.
Be amazed.
He has lived a stable life in the Ministry of War for so many years.
Isn't it because of the blessing of Zuo Yuanfeng, the general of Zhenguo?
If Zuo Yuanfeng hadn't been there to control him, there wouldn't have been any wars for so many years.
How could he have lived so comfortably?
Zuo Yuanfeng is an invincible general who can conquer the country.
He also holds the most powerful Southwest Iron Cavalry in the entire Xining Dynasty.
How come he was defeated in the first battle with the Hui Qiang?
"What is going on?
How is this possible?"
Emperor Zhengcang had already sat down, but he still looked at the content written in the memorial over and over again, but it was hard to believe that this memorial was not a successful report.
After hearing this, Liu Heng calmed down a little and said: "What the emperor said is absolutely true, and the ministers also feel that this matter is very strange.
Although there are Huiqiang troops stationed in the north with a total of 70,000 troops, they have never seen any movement.
What's more, the people guarding the north are now General Zuo, according to common sense, you should be more prudent when returning to Qiang.
How come you are fighting against General Zuo at this time?"
Liu Heng saw that Emperor Zhengcang was still looking at the report without saying anything, so he continued: "Your Majesty, you can see from the date that this memorial was in the hands of Wei Chen four days ago.
However, the things mentioned in this memorial are limited and the reasons behind it are not explained at all.
Wei Chen was dealing with General Zuo.
Over the years, I have become familiar with General Zuo's style of doing things, and I feel that General Zuo will definitely have a backup plan under this report."
Liu Hengwen has been serving as Minister of War for so many years, not without reason.
Needless to say, Liu Heng got along harmoniously with the generals.
His alert and delicate thinking alone was unmatched by others.
Of course Emperor Zhengcang also understood what Liu Heng meant, and immediately said:
"What's the backup plan?"

Liu Heng took out a letter from another cuff, presented it to him and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the back-up plan."
After Emperor Zhengcang took the letter, Liu Heng continued: "Your Majesty, just as Wei Chen expected, just two days later, yesterday, someone handed this handwritten letter from General Zuo to Wei Chen." yesterday After hearing this, Emperor Zhengcang did not open the letter in his hand anxiously, but thought for a moment, suddenly looked up at Liu Heng, and asked aloud: "That man is a leftist idiot" For no reason, Emperor Zhengcang thought of Zuo Chi.
What Zuo Chi said today clearly pointed out that there were details both inside and outside the palace.
To say who Zuo Yuanfeng trusted the most, it must be his most proud son, Zuo Chi.
Thinking about it, there must be other secret ways of contact between the father and son.
Sure enough, Liu Heng was stunned when he heard this and said doubtfully: "How did the Emperor know that that person was Mr.
Xiao Zuo?"
