The atmosphere before the morning court seemed very depressing.

All the ministers already knew that Jingping Pass had fallen into the hands of the barbarians, and most people were more familiar with the inside story, knowing that it was just the consequences of the imperial party's cause. Therefore, these ministers, whether they were the imperial party, the ministers or the neutral factions, did not know what the Zuo would react to this.

But they only know one thing, that is, this matter caused Wei State to almost lose half of its territory, so it will never be exposed easily. Therefore, these ministers have a feeling of storm coming in their hearts.

In the Golden Palace, the little emperor Wei Kuang, who had a rare early morning, not only did he not have any worries on his face, but he was slightly proud.

The left prime minister party is powerful. Although he has promoted some of his own people over the years, many key positions are still in the hands of the left prime minister, which has made Wei Kuang feel uncomfortable.

This time Tong Wenshan was defeated, Qi Chuanwu treason, and Han Wenzhong abandoned the city and fled. The main characters in these three things were all from the Zuojin party. In addition, this time Tong Wenshan was recommended by Zuojin himself to become the commander.

So now, the left prime minister has to bear most of the responsibility for this consequence.

Although Wei Kuang did not expect to directly defeat the left prime minister, it would be no problem to cut his strength hard once.

As for the reason for Tong Wenshan's defeat and whether Qi Chuanwu was really treason, Wei Kuang was actually very clear about this matter, but in his opinion, it didn't matter. As long as Song Ying bit him to death and said that Qi Chuanwu was treason, what could he do to others?

Han Wenzhong is just a general who has left the city and fled. As long as he is crucified, what is the use of what he says?

The only thing that made him feel a little inappropriate now was the barbarians, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, some barbarians were just rootless ducks. As long as the army was transferred back from the Western border, they would not be able to be destroyed.

At that time, if the barbarians are destroyed and the people who are in war are exempted from taxes, they will continue to be grateful at that time, and the problem is not very big.

Just as Wei Kuang was thinking about how to attack the left prime minister and his party in the morning court later, the left prime minister, who had not been asleep all night, stepped towards the Golden Palace.

Zuo Xiang was born as a general in his early years. He was not only skilled in bows and horses, but also a warrior in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.

Although he has been busy with the government affairs over the years and his martial arts have been abandoned a lot, his foundation is still there. Therefore, although he is nearly a hundred years old, he is very energetic on weekdays. If you just look at his appearance, you will think that he is only in his sixties or seventies.

But now, just one night passed, his whole body seemed to have dissipated. His waist, which was usually straight, couldn't help but hunched down, as if he had stepped into the twilight years.

Looking at the left prime minister's staggering footsteps, many people felt a little uncomfortable.

Zuo Xiang Tan Kongming is a civil and military genius. When he first joined the army, although he was only twenty years old, he had already shown his strength. With his lieutenant, he was promoted to the former general in less than ten years, and expanded the territory of the State of Defense by one tenth, which made the Lu Kingdom next door almost bow down to his surrender.

Later, due to the situation, Wei and Lu had a good relationship. Tan Kongming felt that he had no place to use his skills when he stayed in the army, so he abandoned the martial arts and followed the literature and entered the court.

After entering the court, he felt like he had a cheating. In just eight years, he became the left prime minister and had a close relationship with the old emperor who was still the crown prince. That year, he was only 38 years old.

Tan Kongming sat in this position for fifty years. During this period, he experienced the death of the old emperor and the last emperor, and even the death of the first emperor, the young emperor was only five years old at that time. However, even in this situation where the king was weak and the ministers were strong, the left prime minister did not have any intention of usurpation. He worked diligently to help the young emperor consolidate the throne and eliminate all disharmonious voices inside and outside.

Nowadays, the situation of defending the country can be so stable that it can truly lie in the strongest position of the Three Kingdoms. The left-leaning talks about Kongming can be said to be an indelible contribution.

But now, the little emperor is determined to deal with him, and even sucks the national strength of the defending country, which makes all the ministers in the court feel a little disappointed.

As an old minister of the three dynasties, Tan Kongming Youzan was not famous, did not go to the court, and held a sword to the palace. Now he held the golden hammer given by the emperor when he was entrusted to his or her son, and walked to the ministers silently without saying a word. No one knew what he was thinking now.

Looking at the silent Tan Kongming, the ministers always felt something was wrong, because although the late emperor gave Tan Kongming these three privileges and the Golden Hammer, Tan Kongming had almost never used it, and the Golden Hammer was even left alone. Why did he suddenly take it out today? Do you want to turn against the little emperor?

The ministers were all a little worried, but because Zuo Prime Minister closed down to thank the guests yesterday and did not meet anyone, these people didn't know what Zuo Prime was thinking, so they could only look at him with some concern.

The little emperor on the throne was also a little nervous when he looked at the golden hammer in Tan Kongming's hand, because when his father gave it to Tan Kongming, his father said that if the new emperor was foolish and mistook me to defend the country, you can hold this golden hammer and kill it and set it on another.

Therefore, nominally, Tan Kongming, who holds this hammer, is fully qualified to kill him.

Although this was only nominal and the ministers would definitely not let Tan Kongming do so, the little emperor couldn't help but feel a little afraid at this moment, and sat on the dragon throne and shrank slightly.

Tan Kongming didn't care about other people's gazes, nor did he care about the little emperor's shrunk. He just held a golden hammer in his hand and sat silently on his chair, as quiet as a clay-sculpture Bodhisattva.

The ministers looked for a while and found that Tan Kongming showed no sign of speaking, and felt a little relaxed. Then the people from the Imperial Party followed the process discussed before and directly led the topic to the war in Longbei during the discussion, and then asked Song Ying, who had escaped a few days ago, to tell the details of Longbei.

Because it had been discussed before, and the little emperor secretly gave him the decree, Song Ying was not afraid at this time. After standing up, he directly pushed all the blame on Tong Wenshan, and emphasized the treason of Qi Chuanwu and Han Wenzhong abandoning the city and fleeing.

After saying this, Song Ying said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, I believe that although General Tong was defeated, it is understandable. In addition, he has died in his country, so there is no need to continue to hold him accountable."

"But Qi Chuanwu treason and surrender to the enemy directly led to the defeat of General Tong Laojun. This crime is unforgivable and his relatives should be punished. There is also Han Wenzhong, the governor of Jingping Pass. This thief escaped at the battle, causing the fall of Jingping Pass. This crime is also unforgivable and should be punished with the righteous punishment."

"In this way, we can warn you and show our power to defend the country."

These treatment methods were discussed before by the imperial parties. Tong Wenshan and Zuoxian were in close contact, so he no longer held him accountable, which was considered to appease the left prime minister. As for the other two, they had to hold them accountable in order to attack the left prime minister.

"You are Song Ying."

Zuo Xiang Tan Kongming, who had been very silent all the time, suddenly spoke. He looked at Song Ying with his somewhat turbid eyes, and then said, "It's you, you cut off Tong Wenshan's food and grass and let him defeat him?"

Song Ying, who was stared at by this elderly man, felt as if he was being targeted by a beast, and he felt a little scared. He calmed down, then squeezed a smile on his face and asked, "What is Zuo Xiang talking about? Xia Guan doesn't understand very much."

Tan Kongming ignored him, stood up slowly, and continued to ask, "It was you who blocked the city gate of Jingping Pass and blocked tens of thousands of soldiers outside Jingping Pass and let them die at the hands of the barbarians?"

"Qi Chuanwu treason. They wanted to seize Jingping Pass, but Xiaguan blocked them outside Jingping Pass. At this moment, Xiaguan just now... had already said it."

Song Ying felt more and more fearful. He subconsciously turned his eyes to the right prime minister and the little emperor, but the right prime minister looked at the nose and nose, as if he had heard nothing. The little emperor also realized that Tan Kongming's condition was something wrong at this time, so he silently turned his gaze aside and did not dare to speak.

"It's you, who shot Qi Chuanwu to death on the condition of letting the soldiers enter the city, but you refused to admit it afterwards?"

Tan Kongming held a golden hammer in his hand and walked towards Song Ying step by step, then kept saying, "It was you who put Han Wenzhong under house arrest in Jingping Pass, but in the end he escaped in the last battle, causing Jingping Pass to fall into a trap, right?"

After Tan Kongming asked these questions, the hall was in an uproar. These ministers only knew that the imperial party took action and led to the defeat of Tong Wenshan. They didn't know that it was more specific. They didn't know that Song Ying not only cut off Tong Wenshan's food and grass, but also shot Qi Chuanwu to death in person, and also led to the loss of Jingping Pass.

But as the Left Prime Minister, it is definitely impossible to talk nonsense about this. Except for those from the Imperial Party, the remaining ministers all looked at Song Ying with angry eyes, wishing they could eat him alive.

"Zuo...Sir Zuo Xiang, what do you... want to do?"

Looking at the approaching Tan Kongming, Song Ying subconsciously took two steps back, but the Golden Palace was so big that he didn't dare to run away. Where could he retreat?

"What do I want to do? I want to beat you to death!"

Tan Kongming, who walked to Song Ying, raised the golden hammer in his hand and hit Song Ying's chest with a hammer, directly knocking him to vomit blood and falling to the ground.

"Come here, Tan Kongming is crazy, he is crazy!"

Song Ying, whose ribs were broken several times, collapsed to the ground. He endured the severe pain of the broken bones and shouted for help. However, the guards in front of the palace looked at the golden hammer in Tan Kongming's hand and hesitated in his heart. The commander in front of the imperial court glanced at the little emperor, and then silently pressed his hand on the knife and blocked the little emperor.

After all, that was the Left Prime Minister. Not to mention that he was holding the golden hammer given by the late emperor in his hand, he didn't even take it. He was a mere imperial commander, so he didn't dare to go up and cause trouble.

So he moved his body to protect the little emperor and did nothing else.

The little emperor was also a little scared at this time. Although the Left Prime Minister was not very active in the court for many years, as the person who wanted to overthrow the Left Prime Minister the most, he knew the power of the Left Prime Minister more than anyone else. If the Left was the opposite, his throne would instantly become unstable.

So at this moment he only dared to look at Zuo Xiang in fear and said nothing.

The Zuo Prime Minister did not care about the reactions of the others and swung it up again. The solid golden hammer directly smashed Song Ying's leg bones, causing him to wail in pain on the Golden Palace.

However, Tan Kongming looked at Song Ying who was wailing, but he had no sympathy. Without saying a word, he swung the golden hammer in his hand again, and quickly broke Song Ying's other leg, then his arm and chest...

Tan Kongming kept smashing the golden hammer in his hand. At first, he avoided Song Ying's vitals. In the end, he didn't care where he hit him. Song Ying also started to wail in the beginning and finally silent.

After Tan Kongming stopped, Song Ying was smashed into a ball of meat sauce, and blood was splattered on the entire Golden Palace. The entire Golden Palace was more like a slaughterhouse at this moment.

The ministers who had never seen such a bloody scene were all a little shocked, and the little emperor was even more terrifying. He never knew that he thought he was all kind-hearted and polite, and he had such a terrifying side.

Looking at the golden hammer in Tan Kongming's hand and looking at the ball of meat sauce on the ground, the little emperor suddenly appeared in his heart when his father died, saying in front of him, "If this son is stupid, hold this golden hammer and die, he will stand up again."

Therefore, when Tan Kongming looked at him, he thought Tan Kongming was going to kill him with a golden hammer. He was so scared that his legs became a little weak, and he said tremblingly: "A... Father Ya, no, don't kill me."

"I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong. Don't kill me!"

If the little emperor hadn't been frightened at this moment, he would have knelt down and begged for mercy at this moment.

After hearing the little emperor's words, the ministers couldn't help but feel a little disgusted. Although the little emperor was foolish, he was also the legitimate emperor of the late emperor and the orthodox emperor. So these ministers subconsciously stopped the left prime minister and then persuaded him: "Sir, don't be impulsive."

"The king is his father and his minister is his son. How dare the son kill his father?"

Tan Kongming shook his head, slowly walked to the right side, and then hit his temple with a hammer, directly hitting him in the head.

After killing the Right Prime Minister, Tan Kongming slowly spoke: "But now, the crisis in the defense of the country can no longer tolerate party disputes."

"So, I have to use it once, I hope your Majesty can forgive me."

After saying that, Tan Kongming didn't wait for the little emperor to answer, holding a golden hammer and hitting one by one, killing more than a dozen core figures of the imperial party in the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty will have a good rest during this period. The war will be resolved by the old minister."

After saying that, Tan Kongming waved his hand and spoke directly to the eunuch who was scared to the point of being frightened by the little emperor.

Looking at the eunuch's actions, why didn't the ministers know that Tan Kongming had made complete preparations? Although they should stand up to stop him from the courtesy's position, but when they thought of the "good things" that His Majesty did, the ministers fell into silence.

The Zuo Prime Minister worked diligently for the country for decades and never cultivated his followers. Even those who were called the Prime Minister were just capable people promoted by him. In private, the Zuo Prime Minister had never had any contact with those people.

So he still has some trust in Zuo Xiang, because if he really wanted to usurp the throne, he had already done it more than ten years ago, and there was no need to wait until now.

Therefore, although these ministers felt that it was inappropriate to underestimate the little emperor, in this case, they could not think of any good solutions, so they had to make a decision.

However, the left prime minister looked at the mess all over the ground and couldn't help feeling a little sad.
