Looking at the introduction of the card characters, Zhao Yu secretly laughed in his heart. These witches, big and small, were not disciples of the Yin Gui sect, but were using some kind of cover from the Tianyin Pavilion.
Is it possible that there really is an evil sect named Tianyin Pavilion here?
Zhao Yu originally thought about asking Zhang Xiu, but in the end he shook his head.
Although Zhang Xiu came from a poor family, he was actually half a general. He knew little about martial arts, and most of what he knew was from hearsay.
If there is a chance in the future, I still need to find someone who is extremely knowledgeable about Jianghu affairs.
Zhao Yu thought this in his heart.
If you completely control the power of the Chu State, then it would be better to bring the martial arts world under the control of the imperial court.
Not only that, Zhao Yu also discovered that the characters summoned by the purple card [Sun and Moon in the Sky] have additional attributes of influence and intimacy.
If his memory was correct, neither Zhang Xiu Wang Pu who was summoned first, nor Gao Lishi who followed him, nor even Na Shi'a showed these two attributes.
The biggest doubt is that this card is the first minister card he drew after he ascended the throne.
Is it because he officially became the emperor?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu opened the system interface again, and sure enough, the first four people summoned had these two additional attributes added to the attribute panel.
Among them, the intimacy level of Wang Pu and Zhang Xiu has reached over 800 points, and Wang Pu is approaching the 900 point mark. However, among the four, Shi A has the greatest influence, with more than 300 points. Next is Gao Lishi, who has just reached 200 points, while Zhang Xiu and Wang Pu's influence is less than 100 points.
From this point of view, Gao Lishi was quite popular in the palace, while Zhang Xiu and Wang Pu had not yet made a breakthrough in the Forbidden Army and the Hanlin Academy.
There is also the close minister mentioned in Wang Pu's characteristics. He is not sure if the closeness reaches 1000 and the minister will become a close minister.
Zhao Yu thought silently in his heart.
However, what he couldn't figure out was why Shi'a, a snobbish and greedy guy, had such a high influence. Could it be because he had been the swordsmanship teacher of Emperor Daxing in the palace?
Zhao Yu's guess was only half correct. In fact, the reason why Shi A was selected by the Queen Mother Xuande to become a swordsmanship teacher was not only because of his swordsmanship, but also because of his reputation.
Shi'a is famous among the rangers around Shenjing, and even many children from rich families and general families have heard of his reputation.
"I just don't know when the witches from Tianyin Pavilion will be able to enter the palace? Is it possible that I have to issue an edict to the world and hold a draft?"
Zhao Yu couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
If he had only been on the throne for less than a month, he would have to draft a large number of people to enrich his harem. Who knows how the government and the public would view him?
However, at least, the Prince of Taihe, whom he personally anointed, might look down on him because of this, or even relax his surveillance on him?
Of course, this is just Zhao Yu's own wishful thinking.
Huang Wenbo, the cousin of King Taihe and now the former commander of the Forbidden Army Palace, regarded the emperor as a thief.
If he hadn't been concerned about the royal face, Commander Huang would have wanted to let the bribed palace maids and guards monitor him from morning to night...
However, what Zhao Yu didn't expect was that this man just couldn't bear to talk about it. Within a few days, Huang Jingming's trouble, or Da Chu's trouble, suddenly appeared.
In the early morning of this day, the gates on all sides of Shenjing City slowly opened under the expectant eyes of the small merchants and hawkers who entered the city to do business.
Just as everyone was preparing to enter the city, bursts of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded from a distance.
People looked towards the official road in confusion, only to see a knight galloping towards the Shenjing City on horseback.
The sharp-eyed city guard saw the red flag fluttering behind the knight. He couldn't help but shrink his pupils and shouted sharply:
"Everyone, get out of the way quickly. This is the Military Intelligence Department of the Ministry of War passing on urgent military information!"
When the people waiting to enter the city heard this, they hurriedly moved to both sides of the official road to get out of the way.
The horse under the knight's crotch was flying with hooves, passing by everyone's eyes like the wind, passing through the city gate that had just been partially opened, rushing into the Shenjing City, and galloping towards the palace.
"Urgent! Urgent report from the border!"
"Urgent! Urgent report from the border!"
After entering Shengjing City, although the knight was dusty and looked extremely tired, he still galloped on his horse and shouted loudly.
Hearing the knight's shout, the faces of the people along the way changed slightly, and they all moved aside to get out of the way.
As for those small merchants and hawkers who had no time to close their stalls, they looked at the goods scattered on the ground after the knight passed by, with expressions of tears on their faces, but they did not dare to complain at all, so they could only lament and admit themselves to be unlucky.
Didn't you hear the knight shouting an urgent report from the border?
This kind of urgent military situation, let alone knocking over your goods, even if it accidentally kills you, you have no place to reason.
According to the laws of Dachu, anyone who obstructs military affairs will be killed without mercy!
In the face of national security, we must give in to everything!
After the knight disappeared behind the imperial city gate, the people on both sides of the road gathered together again in twos and threes, whispering and discussing in low voices.
"Urgent report from the border? Is there another war going on somewhere?"
"It's probably in the north. It's probably because the Jin Kingdom saw that Chu had just changed emperors and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob us."
"Jin State? Are you in trouble..."
One of the people sighed.
"Yeah, we've only had peace and quiet for a few days, why are we going to fight again?"
"Look at this horse, it came from the Qinglong Gate in the north. It's most likely from the north... Now, I, Da Chu, will be in big trouble."
"What's the big deal? With the general here, I predict that Jin will not be able to take advantage this time!"
"The general is now called King Taihe, do you understand?"
"It's hard to say. Although the general is powerful in fighting, it still depends on who is leading the army on the opposite side..."
Some scholars who were concerned about national affairs looked at the direction where the sound of horse hooves disappeared, their eyes full of worry.
"Young master, the country is suspicious, this is a turbulent autumn!"
Da Chu Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall.
The morning court was in progress. Suddenly, the commander Fan Zhen, who was guarding outside the Tai Chi Hall, walked into the hall with a stern look on his face and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, urgent military information!"
Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to stop a court official's advance, looked at Fan Zhen, and said in a deep voice:
"read!"
"The Linjiang Prefecture Military Intelligence Department Pegasus reported urgently that half a month ago, the Jin State, with General Lu Qiyuan as its commander, gathered a large number of soldiers on the north bank of the Canglong River to build warships. The number of troops is expected to be no less than 50,000. The situation is urgent. Linjiang Prefecture Magistrate and The military and horse supervisors do not dare to be expert, so we specially ask the Military Intelligence Department Pegasus to report urgently, hoping that your majesty and all the princes in the court will make a quick decision!"
Fan Zhen finished reading the general's report word by word, his eyes filled with anger.
Zhao Yu was sitting on the dragon chair. When he heard the news, his eyes narrowed slightly and he was silent for a moment, then said:
"My late father once told me that among the famous generals of various countries, the Jin Kingdom accounts for three out of ten, and Lu Linyuan is the leader among them. I wonder what you can do to retreat from the enemy?"
