Master Shen ignored him. He shook his head and sighed, "Since the siege of the capital city, the Emperor was forced to return the Black Tiger Emblem to Marshal Gu. Nowadays, there are so many people in this world who don't put the Son of Heaven in their eyes anymore."

How did Gu Yun get involved in this?

Shen Yi thought about it for a moment, he was able to see some meaning in it. Since the Westerners besieged the city, Li Feng was forced to return the general power to Gu Yun first, then the Ziliujin hidden by the royal family for several generations in the Jinghua Pavilion was burnt down by the Westerners.

Even now the dilemmas on all four sides remained unsolved. Emperor Long An's powerlessness was seeping out bit by bit, Li Feng himself must have been aware of it as well. Otherwise, with his damn personality, how could he take the initiative to repair his awkward relationship with Gu Yun?

"Yesterday, when I watched the stars, I saw Tan Lang's light overwhelm Zi Wei*, the sea of stars was dim, the panic in people’s hearts was like wild grass, the deer had gone down to the Central Plains*. I fear that chaotic times are about to begin..."

*Taken from the phrase 'deer came to Central Plains'. The word "deer" was often used to refer to the throne, the country.

*Zi Wei star symbolizes the Emperor, Tan Lang star could also symbolize greed among other things, what Papa Shen saw could be interpreted that someone greedy wishes to overthrow the Emperor soon

Shen Yi: "Dad, wasn't it cloudy last night?"

"Ignorant child," Master Shen did not look at him. "I ask you, what is the name of the current commander of the Imperial Guard?"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment — the Imperial Guard was filled with young masters, but according to the usual practice, although they also assessed qualifications, family history, the highest commander was generally someone with military merits transferred from the Black Iron camp.

However, when the capital was besieged, more than half of the elites of the Imperial Guard and Han Qi, the former commander, had died in the western part of the capital. The ‘birth family’ Northern Camp was almost destroyed, the guards of the capital were badly injured, there was a shortage of talents.

Most of the remaining members of the Imperial Guard were young master types who were disdained by Han Qi that year, only staying at the base of the imperial city to complete the number. After this battle, these young masters all had military merits, their positions were raised with the rising tide. For the first time, there was the highest commander who had not been trained by the Black Iron Camp. He was a subordinate general under Han Qi, named Liu Chong Shan, and was the brother of Lu Chang's first wife.
