Weiyang Palace.
The civil and military officials of the Great Han Empire had been waiting here for a long time.
There were very few court meetings, and the daily affairs of the empire were handled by the Prime Minister.
But after the little Emperor ascended the throne, he held his first court meeting.
Wuwuwu--
The horn sounded throughout Chang 'an City!
Pa!
Pa!
Pa!
Three whipping sounds!
The emperor was in court!
The main hall of Weiyang Palace.
The civil and military officials kowtowed to the emperor.
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live!”
Liu Che sat on the throne and looked down at the civil and military officials.
At this moment, it was as if the entire world was in his hands.
I am a youth, and also the Son of Heaven. I am the father of the king as I sit here, and you are the officials as you stand below the hall!
"Everyone, rise!"
As soon as Liu Che finished speaking, a sorrowful cry resounded throughout the hall.
"Your Majesty, Yanmen Pass is in danger! The Great Han is in danger!"
The Great Sima did not care about the dignity of the court and bowed as he left.
"What happened at Yanmen Pass?" Liu Che asked.
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu's Left Virtuous King Qi Lijing led 200,000 troops to the south. There are only 50,000 guards at Yanmen Pass.”
Hearing this, Liu Che suddenly stood up from his throne.
Hearing that the Xiongnu army was heading south, Liu Che's expression changed drastically.
Yanmen Pass, the first pass of the Nine Fortress.
It was less than a thousand miles away from Chang 'an. It controlled the Central Plains in the south and the Desert Plain in the north. In ancient times, it was called Beiling. In the Warring States Period, it was ranked as the head of the Nine Fortresses!
If Yanmen Pass was lost, Chang 'an would have no danger to defend, and the Xiongnu cavalry could march straight into the city!
He had just ascended the throne, so was he going to become the ruler of a subjugated country?
Liu Che was furious!
Xiongnu!
Can't you just let me live in peace for a few years!
"Who is the Governor of Yanmen Pass?”
"Your Majesty, when the Xiongnu heard that Emperor Jing of the Great Han Dynasty had passed away and that the new emperor had ascended the throne, they immediately went south. The current governor of Yanmen Pass is Yuandu, and the general is Li Guang!”
Li Guang!
Flying General Li Guang!
A valiant general!
As long as Long Chengfei is still alive, I won't let the Hu horses cross the Yin Mountains!
However, Li Guang wasn't very lucky, and he focused on hand-to-hand combat, so his ability to control the overall situation was slightly inferior.
As for the prefect, although he was a cruel official, he was actually a talent.
The capital imposed harsh criminal laws and did not fear dignitaries and royal relatives.
When the marquises and members of the imperial family saw him, they all cast sidelong glances at him and called him "Goshawk" behind his back.
Later generations of history books also called the capital "the general of war and the claws of the country".
"Grand Commandant, where's the memorial?"
Liu Che turned his gaze to Xu Chang.
"Your Majesty, the memorial was sent to Changle Palace yesterday…"
"Changle Palace? Do you know that the current emperor doesn't live in Changle Palace? You're being disrespectful!"
"200,000 Xiongnu cavalrymen are heading south. How dare you not give me the memorial immediately! Do you think I'm easy to bully when I'm young?!"
In the main hall, Liu Che was burning with rage!
He had never thought that he would be so powerful when he had just transmigrated!
If it wasn't for the grand assembly today, he would definitely be kept in the dark by Xu Chang and the others.
They would not know that the Xiongnu cavalry was heading south and that Yanmen Pass was in danger!
Chang 'an was in danger!
The Great Han Empire was in danger!
The anger of the Son of Heaven is the anger of Heaven!
When the emperor was angry, millions of corpses and blood flowed!
"Xu Chang!"
"This old minister is here."
"You deceived me! Troublemaker! It was a heinous crime! Where are the warriors outside the hall?"
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The sound of war rang out in the hall!
Liu Che was furious. Drag Xu Chang out and behead him for public display! Family property confiscated!"
"Here!"
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials did not dare to speak. It was silent!
This Xu Chang thought that he was favored by Old Lady Dou and was used to being domineering. There were many people who wanted to attack him.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
When Grand Commandant Xu Chang was dragged out of the hall, he was already panicking.
He absolutely did not know that he would end up like this. He thought that the young emperor would rely on his assistance.
He did not expect that the new emperor would use him as an example. Did the new emperor dare to seize power from his grandmother?
The warriors outside the hall dragged Xu Chang out of the hall and pressed him on the beheading platform. Then, Ghost Head Blade descended!
Marshal Xu Chang was beheaded!
From the time the Emperor issued the decree to the time Xu Chang was beheaded, it was less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn!
Even if Old Lady Dou wanted to save Xu Chang, it was already too late.
After killing Xu Chang, the Embroidered Guards were ordered to go to Xu Chang's residence and confiscate his property!
Inside the main hall of Weiyang Palace.
Liu Che sat on the throne and looked down at the ministers like a dragon in the sky!
The Prime Minister Wei Wan walked out of the court with a board in his hand and bowed,"
" Your Majesty, all the troops in Chang 'an have been mobilized. Yanmen Pass is a high and dangerous city. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is enough to resist the invading troops..."
"Half a month ago, the late emperor had already mobilized fifty thousand troops to aid Yanmen Pass, led by General Li Guang.”
Hearing this, Liu Che was relieved and said,"
"Prime Minister Wei, how many days can we supply rations at Yanmen Pass?”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, after he became the Governor of Yanmen Pass, he cleaned up twenty corrupt officials and obtained 600,000 dans of grain, enough for the army and people of Datong to use for half a year!”
Prime Minister Wei Wan reported all the military affairs.
No matter how big or small it was, he kept it in his heart. When the Emperor asked, he could answer immediately.
"Is there a weapon to resist the soldiers in Yanmen Pass?”
"Your Majesty, Yanmen Pass is the barrier of Chang 'an. There are many cavalry and horses. I think that in this battle, Governor Zhi and General Li Guang will be able to repel the Xiongnu cavalry!”
"No, I can't! What I want is not to repel the Xiongnu cavalry!”
"I want the enemy to be destroyed!”
"I want the Great Han Dynasty to be stable forever!”
Liu Che's words echoed in the hall!
All the officials in the court could feel the little Emperor's determination.
"Your Majesty!" Wei Wan shouted with tears in her eyes. I am willing to use my rotten body to help Your Majesty protect the territory of the Great Han Dynasty for ten thousand years!”
As Wei Wan's voice fell, the anger that rose in Liu Che's heart due to Xu Chang's deception finally dissipated.
Fortunately, the Great Han Empire's regulations were already very complete.
Even if the emperor didn't care about government affairs, the prime minister could handle them…
Otherwise, Yanmen Pass would have fallen long ago!
Today, Liu Che had killed Grand Marshal Xu Chang, which made the entire court excited.
In the eyes of Wei Wan and the other ministers, Xu Chang was a thorn in their side, and they wanted to pull him out immediately!
In addition to Xu Chang, it would be best to pull out the other sycophants who only knew how to flatter Old Lady Dou.
However, Wei Wan knew that the Emperor was taking a huge risk by killing Xu Chang!
Perhaps Old Lady Dou would be able to tolerate killing Xu Chang.
However, it would not be easy to kill more.
After all, the Tiger Tally was in the hands of Old Lady Dou…
Liu Che had never expected that he would encounter the Xiongnu cavalry heading south the moment he transmigrated to the Great Han Empire.
If Yanmen Pass was broken through by the Xiongnu cavalry, then he would be the king of a subjugated country.
Although Wei Wan and the others had already arranged for troops to rescue Yanmen Pass, and Yan Du and Li Guang were both very capable, they were still not able to do so.
However, Liu Che did not dare to let his guard down.
Some things had to be done personally.
He couldn't guarantee that the Great Han Empire he was in now was the Great Han Empire he knew from his previous life.
In the main hall, the court session continued.
