The court was stained with blood, and those sixth- and seventh-grade officials who had fled without getting the news were all imprisoned in the sky prison by the emperor.

In the Jinluan Hall, more than half of the officials had gone, and the remaining officials looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, fearing that if there was any movement, the emperor would send someone to pull him down.

Zhai Yuan sat high on the dragon chair, looked at the sparse court hall, and shouted loudly, "Are there any people here who don't know what's going on here?"

"This..." In fact, the officials above the fifth rank were more or less aware of the Prime Minister's intention to rebel. There were also several high-ranking officials who were tried to bribe by the Prime Minister, but they hesitated. They were also loyal to the dynasty and were saved from being betrayed by the Emperor today.

Kill three or more tribes!

"The dynasty is now facing an unprecedented crisis. The rebellious ministers and the party are disrupting our dynasty. You officials who are loyal to the dynasty, I hope you can accompany the dynasty through the most severe disaster!" Zhai Yuan's voice echoed in the Jinluan Palace.

Except for a few princes, most of the people left by the emperor in the Jinluan Palace were good ministers who were loyal to the court.

Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted, "I will be loyal to the dynasty to the end!"

"Okay!" Zhai Yuan looked at the blue sky outside the Jinluan Palace and shouted: "The prince, the general and the young prince Qu have gone to fight for our court. Everyone can rest assured that with them here, our court will be able to survive."

This calamity!"

"Your Majesty's words will definitely come true!" the officials responded one after another. Although they were worried that the country would be defeated, these people didn't even know what the current situation was, so how could they analyze today's situation?

"Withdraw from the court, several princes will stay." The emperor ordered that all the good ministers should leave the palace first. They stayed in the Jinluan Palace for three or four hours today, which made them terrified all morning.

Only a few princes, King Yu, King Ye, and King Li were left in the huge Jinluan Palace, standing in a row at the foot of the high platform.

The emperor glanced at them and said nothing.

…

The 10,000 royal troops led by the Crown Prince and the 200 imperial troops led by Prince Qu all merged with the remaining elite troops of the general.

Everyone poured out from the south gate and west gate of the capital. The huge team and the loud military trumpets resounded throughout the land of the dynasty.

Zhai Xiyou was wearing a silver-gray military uniform and sitting high on his horse, holding in his arms twenty top-grade elixirs given to him by Youruo.

On the battlefield, Zhai Xiyou could not give medicine to everyone one by one, so he gave it to the lieutenants on both sides first.

Then Ling Chong and Ling Xiao from You Pavilion also gave two pills each, and in the end, there was only one pill left in the medicine jar in Zhai Xiyou's hand.

If possible, Zhai Xiyou hopes that this life-saving medicine in his hand will never have a chance to be used!

Looking at the yellow sand road ahead, the gate of Zhang City appeared in front of it. However, the wind and sand were strong today, and due to the trampling of war horses, the surrounding yellow sand flew high in the air, blocking many people's vision.

"Ling Chong, lead two hundred people and quickly go to the gate of Zhangcheng to investigate the situation." With the army only ten miles away from Zhangcheng, Zhai Xiyou sent a reconnaissance team to fight in advance.

After receiving the order, Ling Chong led a team of 200 people and quietly sneaked from the path to the foot of the Zhangcheng gate.

As soon as they approached Zhang City, archers were ambushed from the gate of Zhang City.

As early as the capital sent troops to Zhangcheng to fight, the rebels had already killed all the soldiers in Zhangcheng and took Zhangcheng as their own, turning it into their own military camp.

Zhai Xiyou had a bad eye and looked at the archers at the city gate. Their shooting distance was at most two miles, so the remaining 30,000 troops were still within a safe range.

As for the 10,000 royal troops and horses, Zhai Xiyou put them in the rear to guard the surrounding enemies.
