Zhang Li's behavior shocked everyone around him, and Huang Long was even more surprised.

What does this mean? Is Zhang Li going to resign? !

"Tianguan, what are you..." A minister said in shock.

But Zhang Li turned a deaf ear to these words. He walked to the center of the hall with a heavy face, faced the empress, and then knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. My last question is for Your Majesty!"

Looking at Zhang Li who was kneeling on the ground with a solemn look on his face, Jin Fengling's face was as dark as water. There was no expression on his fair face at the moment, but his eyes were full of coldness.

She only uttered one word, "Ask."

Zhang Li put down his official hat and said word by word:

"General Huwei has fought on the battlefield all his life, and his last battle was still to expel Fusang and protect his family and country.

"Today, General Qin's 800 troops entered Beiliang. They first suppressed the bandits and then attacked the Hu horses. Now they are heading to the Beiku grassland in order to cut off the ambitions of the Hu horses and eliminate the troubles caused by my great efforts at the border."

"The Qin family is full of loyal people. They act only for their family and country and protect the people throughout their lives."

At this point, Zhang Li's eyes turned red and his voice became hoarse, but then he raised his arms and shouted:

"Your Majesty! I ask, the King of Zhenbei did not return to the capital, but rushed to the Beiku grassland to kill the enemy. His mind can be learned from heaven and earth. What is wrong?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Fengling frowned, and his eyes were full of evil spirits.

Nowadays, Qin Ze has troops and horses in his hands, and he has been able to annihilate 80,000 barbarians. Although it is nothing to the troops and horses of the entire Daqian, but seeing his fame rising, in time, it will definitely become a disaster!

Qin Ze is now saying that he is going to wipe out all the barbarians in the Beiku grassland. This is absolutely impossible. Does he really think he can wipe out all the barbarians in the Beiku grassland? It’s so ridiculous!

He had already expected that he would call him back to Beijing, so he used this excuse as an excuse.

Jin Fengling knew in his heart that Qin Ze was afraid!

They originally wanted to use Huang Long's advice to summon Qin Ze back to the capital. If he resisted the order and refused to come back, then he could be accused...

But Zhang Li’s remarks...

Jin Fengluan sighed in his heart.

This minister has been in charge of the civil service for many years and has always been upright. Many officials in the prefectures and counties of Daqian came from his sect.

Zhang Li's words were like a thorn in Jin Fengling's throat, but he was unable to refute them. After all, what Qin Ze was doing now was for the sake of the cause and the people.

Jin Fengluan took a deep breath to calm down, thought about it briefly, and then said in a deep voice:

"The words of the Minister are reasonable. The King of Zhenbei certainly has no fault, but..."

"There are so many barbarians in the Beiku grassland. King Zhenbei insists on going to clear them out. I'm afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Having said this, she looked at Huang Long slightly and then said:

"General Huang, you have been marching and fighting for many years, and you have fought against Huma before. Do you think King Zhenbei has a chance of winning when he enters the Beiku grassland this time?"

Huang Long's heart tightened and he quickly said:

"Report to Your Majesty! I still said what I said. It is not easy to wipe out 80,000 Hu horses. It is completely impossible to march into the Beiku grassland and vow to annihilate all Hu horses!"

"Although King Zhenbei has made great achievements, his behavior is too reckless. Not to mention the impact that losing to Beihu will have on the court's reputation, Beiliang will also be in danger from now on!"

As soon as he said this, Jin Fengling pursed his lips slightly and said, "Oh? Where do you start with this?"

Zhang Li on the side was already livid at the moment, glaring at Huang Long angrily.

Huang Long just pretended not to see it and continued:

"The land bordering Daqian and Huma is in Beiliang. Although there have been some minor conflicts with Huma in the past two years, nothing major has happened in the end. Now the king of Zhenbei has led his troops into the Beiku grassland, vowing to annihilate all Huma. This time The move will inevitably cause Huma to launch a counterattack.

If the King of Zhenbei is defeated, Huma's morale will be strong, and he might lead his army to invade Beiliang! "

"If this happens, won't there be another trouble?"

"Daqian has just had a few years of peace. If war breaks out, it will cost people and money. Isn't this a good thing?"

"Therefore, Wei Chen thought that giving Hu Ma a lesson was enough, but the King of Zhenbei did not dare to ignore it and went to the Beiku grassland to annihilate Hu Ma without His Majesty's orders. Could it be that he wanted to feed the war with war? I think Zhenbei Wang Qixin..."

At this point, Zhang Li couldn't listen anymore. He pointed at the yellow dragon and reprimanded angrily:

"Huang Long! Thank you for being the great general of the country! But today you said such confusing words, you can't tell right from wrong!"

"I am in today's peaceful and prosperous age, didn't I just rely on fighting hard battles one after another!"

"Huma has repeatedly invaded our borders in the past two years. His intention to cause trouble is well known to everyone on the road, but you say that giving him a small lesson is enough?"

"You say enough is enough because you live in a temple and your home is in the capital! You have a lovely wife and beautiful maids in your house, you eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and you are transported by carriage and horse. Ask the people at the border whether this is enough!"

These righteous words made Huang Long's face turn as black as coal, and he hurriedly argued:

"Zhang Li! What do you mean by this? Does it mean that King Zhenbei can disobey the court's orders because he is in Beiliang? I see you..."

Zhang Li's chest rose and fell violently, and he said angrily:

"The spring rain brings moisture, and farmers like its moistness, but passers-by hate its mud; the autumn moon is like a mirror, beauties like to enjoy it, but thieves hate its brightness."

Huang Long was stunned when he heard this sentence, but he still didn't understand what it meant.

Zhang Li turned to Jin Fengling and said loudly:

"Your Majesty! With a body of seven feet, beware of a tongue with a diameter of three inches; there is a dragon spring on your tongue, and you can kill people without blood!"

"I, Zhang Li, don't want this black gauze hat, and I will fully support the King of Zhenbei in entering the Beiku grassland, and never let me cause trouble at the border!"

"Da Qian has always been weak. The surrounding countries are watching with eager eyes. Three generations of warriors have survived, and countless soldiers are fighting on the battlefield. Today, in the hands of your majesty, the world is at peace and all directions are safe!"

"But now Hu horses are invading the border, the soldiers have won the battle, and their morale is high, but some people who don't know right from wrong are maliciously speculating on the intentions of the King of Zhenbei, abandoning the common people at the border, thinking that there must be something behind the Northern Hu soldiers' invasion of Beichuan. The thief is colluding with Hu Ma! Your Majesty! You have to investigate clearly!"

But Huang Long understood what he said. His face turned pale and he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly said:

"Zhang Li, in the court, there is no need to make insinuations or make false accusations out of thin air!"

"You keep saying it's all for Beiliang and Daqian, and you keep excusing King Zhenbei! Could it be that you have received some benefits from him!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liqi's eyes turned red and he shouted angrily:

"Shut up! Huanglong! You garrulous person!"

"The King of Zhenbei is fighting desperately outside, but you are talking nonsense in the court. Is it possible that you want to accuse the King of Zhenbei of an unfounded crime?"

"Tell me! Are you colluding with Hu Ma! In order to harm my country?"

When the words came to this, all the ministers in the court looked sideways and started admonishing him.

Some of the ministers were on good terms with Huang Long, so they naturally reprimanded Zhang Li, and there were naturally not a few who turned against Zhang Li.

Zhang Li burst into tears and raised his arms and shouted: "My youngest son Zhang Jian joined the army five years ago and went to Beiliang to fight against Huma. A letter came from home, which explained the interests and dangers of Huma. The local people were miserable, with men as slaves, women and children. For prostitution.”

"How can such people appease the hearts of the people if they don't attack them head-on?"

"Do I want them to think that I am weak and incompetent?"

"This is the letter sent to my son Zhang Jian before he died in battle. Please read it!"

Zhang Li put his hand into his arms, took out a letter, opened it and showed it to everyone.

But there was no writing on the yellow-brown letter paper!

but! It was covered with dense bloody fingerprints. The fingerprints ranged from large to small. It could be seen that there were even young people who pressed the fingerprints!

Zhang Li was in tears at this moment and said sadly:

"This letter expresses the sorrow of the common people and the heroes of the soldiers who died on the battlefield!"

"The blood and tears of countless people are contained in this letter! You can hear the suffering of the people, and you can see the soldiers exchanging their lives for their lives!"

"The King of Zhenbei sacrificed his life and led his troops to go to the Beiku grassland to annihilate Hu Ma."

"Let me ask, who in the world would not agree!"

Zhang Li stood up suddenly, raised the letter with one hand, and pointed at the bridge of Huanglong's nose with one hand.

"You don't agree?"

Huang Long's face turned pale, his body stiffened, and he turned his head slightly.

As soon as he turned around, Zhang Li pointed at Wang Yong, the Minister of Household Affairs. "still you?"

Wang Yong had big beads of sweat falling on his forehead, and he felt depressed in his heart. Why is it that he is talking about me? This is really...

He lowered his head hurriedly and took a step back.

At this moment, several ministers walked out slowly with solemn faces, and then faced the empress and said:

"Your Majesty, I believe that what the minister says is reasonable."

Jin Fengluan's face was as dark as water, and his phoenix eyes looked at the ministers in the audience without blinking.

Then, she sighed softly:

"Zhang Shangshu, put on your hat."

"You and General Huang are both my important officials. It is normal for you to have differences on this matter."

"After all, in this court, it is not a one-word court."

"Forget it, Qin Ze doesn't need to return to the capital. Let him go to the Beiku grassland to annihilate Hu Ma and promote our country's prestige."
