The nights in the capital were a little cold. The closer they were to the imperial city, the fewer the crowds and wider the streets. This coldness and involuntary pressure combined together made Li Yuanqing feel a little nervous.

Today, Li Yuanqing and the other two had just settled down and had not had time to rest well. The little emperor of the Age was so anxious that he wanted the three of them to meet. From this, we can also see that although the little emperor of the Age was young, he should be very concerned about the matters in Liao.

Soon, the imperial city compound with red bricks and green tiles had appeared in the distant view. Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, adjusting his breathing, and trying his best to restrain his emotions.

This is like an interview in later generations. People will always be nervous, but as long as they are stuck, the results will definitely be rich.

Li Yuanqing secretly glanced at Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong beside him. They were not much better than Li Yuanqing. His face was solemn, as if he was facing a great enemy.

Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled slightly, Imperial power. Even if he is a time traveler, he still cannot avoid the vulgarity of such deep-rooted things.

Soon, after passing by several white jade bridges, the group came to a grand city gate. The leading eunuch showed a token to the guard guards and whispered a few words. The guard quickly opened the city gate and let them go.

Li Yuanqing and the other two followed seven or eight eunuchs and entered.

It was not as imagined by Li Yuanqing. The space suddenly became wider, but it was still a high wall.

The leading eunuch carried the lantern and turned directly to the main road on the right without saying much. Li Yuanqing and the other two could only hurry and follow closely behind.

In later generations, Li Yuanqing also visited the Forbidden City. Unfortunately, he was just a quick look and could not find out in detail. Moreover, the Forbidden City in later generations was left over from the Qing Dynasty, while the imperial city at this time was the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty.

At first, Li Yuanqing could barely judge the direction based on his feelings, but with all the twists and turns, Li Yuanqing was thinking about the words of the Saint in his mind, and even the sense of direction disappeared.

The three of them walked for half an hour and finally arrived outside a palace.

The leading eunuch turned around and said to the three people: "Several generals, you can wait here first. The miscellaneous family will come in and report."

Li Yuanqing and the other two hurriedly nodded and said yes.

Li Yuanqing also secretly regretted that the matter was too sudden. He had no preparations at all, nor had he prepared gifts for these eunuchs, so it was difficult to find out the news.

Now, I can only be like a puppet, at their mercy.

The cold wind blew by, making the trees outside the door sway back and forth. A few eunuchs didn't speak, and Li Yuanqing and others were not easy to speak, so they could only communicate secretly with their eyes and stabilize each other's confidence.

Soon, the leading eunuch came out, he cleared his throat and said, "The emperor has an order to meet the three generals, Xuan Zhangpan, Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing."

As he said that, he smiled and said, "Three generals, please?"

Li Yuanqing and the other two hurriedly followed him carefully.

The gate to the palace is a large courtyard, rockery pavilion, and the space suddenly becomes spacious.

Red lanterns were hung on both sides, and the warm firelight made Li Yuanqing and the other two feel a little warmth in their hearts.

After a moment, the three of them followed the little eunuch, walked around a rockery, passed two corridors, and arrived at the door of the palace.

Li Yuanqing glanced quietly and said that this should not be the main entrance, but the side entrance.

The little eunuch turned around and smiled, "Three generals, please."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Zhang Pan smiled and walked into it carefully, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong followed closely behind.

Entering the hall, he walked around several rooms and came to a side hall. Several braziers on both sides were being burned and crackled. The red flames dispelled the chill outside. In front of the desk on one side, a large eunuch in a purple python robe was reviewing several thick memorials under the lights.

The little eunuch hurriedly came to the big eunuch carefully and whispered: "Brother-in-law, they are here."

The eunuch nodded, but did not make any other moves. Instead, he continued to review the memorial. The eunuch hurriedly stood respectfully beside him.

After a while, about a quarter of an hour, the eunuch put down the pen in his hand and looked at Li Yuanqing and the other two with a smile, "You are Zhang Pan, Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing, are you?"

Li Yuanqing and the other two hurriedly kowtowed and bowed to him.

The eunuch smiled and said, "Get up. The emperor is waiting for you in the room now. However, the palace is not the same as other places. There are many rules, so the miscellaneous family will give you a few words."

Li Yuanqing and the other two hurriedly kowtowed and thanked.

The eunuch smiled and said a few words about the rules in the palace, which was very pleasant.

Li Yuanqing had already understood at this time, who was this eunuch?

Let me ask all the world, except for the famous Eunuch Wei, who can criticize the emperor for his reputation?

The reason why Eunuch Wei was so kind to the three of them was probably because he had a strong desire to win over them.

In just a moment, Li Yuanqing had already made a decision in his heart.

How many years can the little emperor of Apocalypse live, Wei Zhongxian will be able to be glorious for many years. At this time, it was just the beginning of the second year of Apocalypse. Isn’t it stupid to not hold your thighs?

At this moment, seeing Wei Zhongxian finish speaking, Li Yuanqing hurriedly kowtowed and said, "How many people in the humble position thank you for your advice. If you can get your advice, it is really a blessing for those in the humble position to cultivate for thousands of years."

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but be stunned, but for a moment, a soft smile appeared on his old face, and he smiled faintly: "Are you very smart, little monkey? Okay, get up. Go to the quasi-family family to see the emperor, and the emperor should be anxious."

Li Yuanqing and the other two hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and then they dared to get up and carefully followed Wei Zhongxian.

After walking along the side hall for a while, I turned around and the terrain suddenly became clear. This was a huge palace, covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters.

On the central imperial desk, a young man in a bright yellow dragon robe was bored and flirting with a book, and it was obvious that he was a little confused.

Wei Zhongxian signaled Li Yuanqing and the other two to wait outside the door. He walked into the hall carefully, came to the young emperor, and whispered a few words.

Although it was far apart, Li Yuanqing could see clearly. The young emperor looked overjoyed and hurriedly said something to Wei Zhongxian.

After a moment, a little eunuch came out quickly, "The emperor gave an order to meet with the three generals, Xuan Zhangpan, Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing and the other two hurriedly followed the little eunuch to the hall. As soon as they entered the hall a few steps, the little eunuch winked at the three of them, meaning that they would kowtow and bow.

Li Yuanqing and the other two hurriedly kowtowed, saying, "Long live my emperor."

The little emperor of the Apocalypse could not wait at this time, so he came to Li Yuanqing and the other two, looked at the three of them carefully, and couldn't help but smile: "The three generals are indeed all among the people, please get up quickly."

Li Yuanqing and the other two hurriedly kowtowed and thanked each other, and then they dared to stand up carefully.

Among the three, Li Yuanqing is the tallest, Chen Zhong is also over 1.8 meters tall, Zhang Pan is a little shorter, and over 1.75 meters tall.

In comparison, the little emperor of the Apocalypse is much shorter, one head shorter than Li Yuanqing, and it is almost 1.6 meters tall.

Seeing the figures of the three, the little emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but feel even more happy and envious, "The three generals are indeed powerful generals. Big companions, do you think that the three generals have made such great contributions, how should I reward them?"

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but laugh and shook his head. The emperor was still a child after all. He hurriedly said, "The cabinet and the court have made a conclusion about the reward. Master, have you always wanted to know how the three generals captured Huerhan? Now, the three generals are here, and it's time to ask clearly."

The little emperor of the Apocalypse also reacted and couldn't help but smile, "That's right. If you don't say the great companion, I will forget it. Three generals, come and tell me, how did you catch Huerhan?"

Seeing that the little Emperor Tianqi was so kind, Li Yuanqing and the other two were also relaxed a lot.

Zhang Pan hurriedly stepped out and carefully described the battle at the Sancha River Ferry Crossing to the Little Emperor of Apocalypse.

To be honest, Zhang Pan did not have the talent to tell stories. The originally wonderful stories became dull and boring when they were told from his mouth, but the little emperor of Apocalypse was still very happy to hear them.

When he heard that the three generals finally decided to give up the Tartars on the other side due to military strength and only attack Huerhan, the little emperor of the Apocalypse could not help but sigh, "Oh, this is really annoying. If the three generals had enough troops at that time, wouldn't they be able to capture all the Tartars in one go?"

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, that's it. But if the three generals had so many troops at that time, they would probably not have been able to enter the hinterland of western Liaoning so smoothly."

"Haha. It's right. But I'm confused."

The little emperor of the Apocalypse scratched his head with a smile, and said, "Three generals, you are all heroes of my Ming Dynasty. What are your best ways to deal with Jiannu in the future?"

Wei Zhongxian also looked at the three of them with a smile.

Li Yuanqing's mind was spinning rapidly.

Due to the lack of cultural heritage, Li Yuanqing did not understand Wei Zhongxian's political stance. However, Wang Huazhen was an eunuch party. To a certain extent, Mao Wenlong should also be regarded as Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party, and his grassroots generals should also have the label of Wei Zhongxian.

This is probably why Wei Zhongxian was so kind as soon as he met.

Through these previous questions, Li Yuanqing already understood that the little emperor of the Apocalypse is still young and very childish. The key to the decision is probably the famous Eunuch Wei in front of him.

Among the three, Li Yuanqing had the least qualifications, so he was not in a hurry to speak. He gave Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong the opportunity to perform first.

Zhang Pan thought for a while and said, "Go back to Emperor Wei, in this situation, our Ming Dynasty has lost all the land of Liao. It is already very difficult to defeat Jiannu in one fell swoop on the front battlefield. But our Ming Dynasty is 10,000 miles in size and hundreds of times the population is as high as Jiannu. Moreover, the Liaoxi Corridor and Liaohai area are still under the control of our Ming Dynasty, and we still have great advantages."

The little emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian both nodded.

For front-line generals like Zhang Pan, even if their perspective is limited, they are more realistic and easier for them to make correct judgments.

The little emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and signaled Zhang Pan to continue.

Zhang Pan said again: "You can't be anxious about this matter. Although the Later Jin Dynasty seems to be powerful, in fact, there are many instability. At this time, the Mongolian tribes in the west are ready to move and have seriously threatened the interests of the Later Jin Dynasty. After the old slave took over Hexi (west of the Liaohe River), the next target of taking action must be Mongolia. Just waiting for the old slave's main force to go to war is the best opportunity for our troops."

The little emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but be overjoyed and laughed: "Does General Zhang have a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Zhang Pan's eyes showed an indescribable look of excitement, and he hurriedly calmed down and organized his language.

On the side, Li Yuanqing lowered his head slightly. Zhang Pan could not resist the temptation and wanted to push himself to the forefront.
