6.7 - The king and ministers are here, the king and ministers are dead

After the previous incident, Chu Jingran rarely went to court in recent days due to physical discomfort. He originally wanted to wait for his health to get better before going to 'confront' Mo Jiujun, but he didn't expect that the other party would make a move first. .

It was warm at noon that day. Chu Jingran, who had just finished reading, was watering the Clivia in the outer hall when he suddenly saw Wurun hurriedly coming from outside.

"Master, Mr. Tang would like to see you."

Chu Jingran was slightly surprised. This Eunuch Tang was the chief steward of the palace, and he was also the person who served Mo Jiujun. Why were you here today? With confusion in mind, Chu Jingran put down the pot and went to the front hall.

Eunuch Tang anxiously turned around in the front hall. When he saw Chu Jingran's figure, his eyes lit up and he immediately went to greet him. After giving him a salute, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has made an urgent announcement."

...

On the way to the imperial study, Chu Jingran inquired about the whole incident from Eunuch Tang, and only then did he learn about the major events that had happened inside and outside the court in recent days when he was not in court.

In general, it can be summarized in eight simple words: the border is in danger and the emperor is angry.

Speaking of the cause of this incident, we have to mention another country-the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Like Wei Lin, the Western Zhou Dynasty is among the top four in this land, and the strength of the two countries is also similar. However, unlike Wei Lin State, which has a mild climate and fertile soil, the Western Zhou Dynasty has poor natural conditions, and most of the land is not fertile. Suitable for farming, mainly hunting and animal husbandry.

Although the overall population of the Western Zhou Kingdom was not as prosperous as that of the Wei Lin Kingdom, the folk customs of the Western Zhou Dynasty were extremely strong because they lived on horseback for many years.

Over the years, people from the Western Zhou Dynasty often crossed the border and burned, killed and looted some small mountain villages near the border. The minor or major frictions between the two countries became more and more frequent. Therefore, although the two countries are neighboring countries connected by borders, But over the past hundred years, relations have not been good, often accompanied by wars.

Not long ago, Mo Jiujun received the report of a border war. For the two countries, it is not a new thing to have a small war every year and a big war every five years. Mo Jiujun followed the usual pattern. The order was issued as usual.

At the beginning, the battle report was sent every day, but after half a month, it suddenly stopped. After waiting for a few days, Mo Jiujun, who had not received the battle report, noticed something was wrong and immediately planned to send someone to investigate.

And just yesterday, when he was about to send people out to investigate the truth, Mo Jiujun finally received an urgent battle report from the border, which had been lost for nearly half a month and thousands of miles away. After reading it in the Jinluan Palace, Mo Jiujun was furious on the spot.

The battle report stated that a month ago, Bianjing was attacked by the Western Zhou Dynasty. That night, the four cities of Weilin fell. General Zhenguan rose up to resist, successfully counterattacked, and the crisis was eliminated.

But just a few days later, General Zhenguan was found dead on the bed of a woman sent by the enemy. Rumors spread instantly. From the officers guarding the pass to the defenders of the city, the morale of the soldiers was greatly reduced. The enemy attacked again, and the soldiers The defeat was like a mountain. In less than half a month, Wei Lin had lost more than twenty cities.
