Beihai Customs?
Mrs. Shizi's expression was a little strange.

She or the entire population of Xingji City have just read the new November newspaper.

The newspapers were as plentiful as ever, but it was the headlines that stood out the most.

"The Japanese pirates captured Beiguan one day, and the whereabouts of the guard Huang Shitao are unknown."

General Yu made her feel guilty, and quickly apologized again, and hurriedly led the convoy away.

Qi Wangfu.

When the master came back, all the gates of the palace had been opened, and Princess Qi and the head of the palace, Shi, led many servants to wait at the gate early.

However, as soon as Chen Xiuzhu got off the carriage, before he had time to drink a sip of tea, he was dragged into the study by his grandfather anxiously.

"My lord," Luo Ken asked impatiently as soon as he sat down, "Have you read the latest newspaper?"

Chen Xiuzhu shook his head and subconsciously glanced at Dongfang.

"Grandfather, did Japanese pirates invade Huayang County?"

cough.

Luo Ken coughed, with a strange expression on his face.

Although he does not belong to the Ministry of War, he is also the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, one of the six ministries of the imperial court, with a high position and weight.

As long as the military situation of various places is sent back to Xingji City, he can know it almost immediately.

Under the godlike operation of Lin Hanmo of the Central Army Corps, Huayang County was already on the verge of collapse.

But a windmill is a good thing.

Mo Canghai promptly passed the news to Lu Pingan about the Japanese pirates' attack on Jiuyuan County, so the Donghai barrier that hadn't gone far turned around and returned to Dinghai Wharf, dangerously re-controlling the situation.

"My lord, read the newspaper first."

Luo Ken sent over the newspaper he had just received.

Chen Xiuzhu took it, and subconsciously glanced at the huge headlines.

He shivered suddenly, and almost spit out the tea he just drank in his mouth.

"Beihaiguan was breached?"

How can it be?

Chen Xiuzhu opened his eyes wide and read it carefully several times.

"Grandfather, is this true?"

He even wondered if he had stayed in Baekje for too long, and for a while, he couldn't even tell who was who from the words "Huayang County" and "Beihaiguan".

"My lord read that right. It is indeed written that the North Customs has been breached."

Luo Ken's tone was a little sad.

At the time, Emperor Changxing was seriously ill and had already approved the procedure for establishing the crown prince. Si Tianjian even took the horoscope of King Qin's birthday and began to calculate the auspicious date for the establishment of the crown prince.

At that time, Luo Ken was worried about his grandfather, but also a little disheartened.

It's okay not to establish a reserve, anyone can compete for it.

Fame is important or not, even if it is not important, it is also important.

As long as the crown prince is settled, if ordinary princes like them want to fight again, it will be treason.

Luckily, the news of Chen Xiuzhu's survival came back before the establishment procedure started.

Afterwards, various situations began to appear on Si Tianjian's side.

The subordinates were either seriously ill and couldn't get up, or violated the laws of the empire and went to prison. Anyway, they couldn't predict a good life.

A little hope rose in Luo Ken's heart.

Now that his grandson finally returned to the imperial capital safely under the guard of Beiguan, he just breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, something happened to Huang Shitao. Not only was Beihaiguan captured, but even the life and death of people were unknown.

Ugh.

Roken let out a long sigh. …

Life and death are unknown, and the newspaper may not have received definite information, so it is quite euphemistic.

But at this time in Beihai Customs, there are ferocious Japanese pirates inside, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow outside, Huang Shitao basically has no way to escape.

Based on this calculation, it seems that his grandson has been busy for so long, buried himself in fighting at the border, and disappeared and suffered. In the end, there are no allies left.

"Grandfather," Chen Xiuzhu reminded, "at least Lu Fuhai and Donghai Barrier are standing by my king's side."

"Why don't we ask Lu Ping'an, who is assisting in the defense of Huayang County, to release the water?"

Luo Ken took a deep look at his grandson.

He understood what Chen Xiuzhu meant.

Among Yunchui's five frontier defense corps, only the central corps is blatantly standing beside King Qin.

Lin Hanmo, who was stationed in Huayang County, was obviously a useless embroidered pillow, marching and fighting on a lake.

As long as Lu Ping'an relaxes a little bit, it is estimated that the situation of Dinghai Wharf, which has just stabilized, will soon change drastically.

Huayang County is one of Yunchui's top ten counties, not to mention taxation, status and influence are also extremely important.

If the Dinghai Wharf is broken, Japanese pirates will break into Huayang County.Even if it is to kill chickens to warn monkeys, the Central Army will definitely be held accountable by Emperor Changxing.

At that time, they will operate in secret again, maybe even Feng Haohan, the general of the army, will be implicated.

In this way, the relationship between him and King Qin was restored.

"You can try it!" Luo Ken's eyes lit up.

The news spread quickly.

Not long after, a person and a rider suddenly ran out of a certain inconspicuous hut in Xingji City. After leaving the city, they walked eastward on the boundless white snow.

In the study, the grandson and grandson sat in the main guest room and continued to chat.

"Grandfather, how is the father's body now?"

According to the information he received, Chen Xiuzhu was also at a loss.

All right, Emperor Changxing handed over the power of reviewing political affairs.

It's hard to say, but if there is a big problem with Yunchui, Emperor Changxing can immediately stand up from the dormitory and give instructions.

"Isn't the father playing some tricks with that old monk Hongguang?"

Luo Ken was taken aback, picked up a cup of tea, and sipped it thoughtfully.

"I'm ashamed to say that although the old minister goes to court every day, he hasn't seen His Majesty for a while. Now that the palace is tightly sealed, I don't know the specific condition of His Majesty's health."

"However, the last time the Central Army Corps went out, His Majesty personally came out and scolded King Qin. At that time, he seemed to be in good spirits, at least he didn't look seriously ill or weak."

Chen Xiuzhu nodded slightly.

"Then if we want to do something, we still have to be careful."

……

The two are chatting.

Bang bang bang.

The door of the study room rang, and the voice of Wangfu Chief Shi came in.

"My lord, someone came to the palace and said that my lord and Lord Shangshu should come into the palace immediately to discuss matters."

Speaking of this, Chang Stan paused.

"The old slave inquired about it, and it seems to be about the war situation in Beihai Customs."

Chen Xiuzhu and Chen Xiuzhu in the study looked at each other, and suddenly they had a clue in their minds.

"Understood. We will enter the palace immediately."

----

Royal Palace.

The brightly lit Imperial Study Room has already gathered a lot of people, who are either standing or sitting quietly waiting.

Chen Xiuzhu walked in with his head held high, and he immediately received many probing and curious eyes.

He smiled generously and nodded in response, his eyes quickly fell on the only person sitting in the imperial study.

This person was wearing a colorful phoenix robe and was holding a crutch with a phoenix head in his hand. Although his face was old, sitting there seemed to radiate light that no one dared to ignore easily.

It was Princess Yiguang who hadn't been out for a long time.

Chen Xiuzhu was slightly taken aback, and hurried up to greet him.

"Xiuzhu met Huangguzu, how is Huangguzu?"

"It turns out that King Qi is back." Princess Yiguang smiled and nodded, looking him up and down, "It's good that nothing happened."

Chen Xiuzhu was overjoyed and wanted to say something else, but Princess Yiguang ignored him and closed her eyes to regain her composure.

Tapping.

At this moment, footsteps sounded.

Emperor Changxing had a sullen face, and hurriedly walked in.
