Chapter 229

Now in the hall

Since Zhang Zhen led the Zuo Shence army to smash the fengjiang River in Bozhou and completely annihilate the anti thief reinforcements in Caozhou half a month ago, no piece of paper news has been introduced into Beijing.

On the contrary, bad news spread in Chang'an city. The thief army gathered 200000 people to attack wulaoguan, the East portal of Gyeonggi road. The memorial of Dongdu's emergency will be discussed in the court every day.

Many ministers proposed to send the right Shence army to the east capital to support Luoyang.

When the news came to the army, many young people were looking for relationships to leave the military, or simply left the camp and fled far away from the pass. Let them bully the good and dominate the market. They are good at it, but let them fight. That's a big joke.

After the emperor and his officials knew it, they really knew what the right Shence army had become corrupt. This was worse than the emperor had expected. At least Zhang Zhenke had told him that the right Shence army was only defensible and could not withstand field operations.

Unexpectedly, the situation exposed by the crisis, these right Shence army can't even defend! How can we expect them to guard Chang'an and the Forbidden City!

This incident alone made the emperor seriously ill. He had not been in the early Dynasty for many days. Until today, he just forced his body to go to the early Dynasty in order to reduce the fear of the courtiers.

Some trivial matters were handled by the prime minister. The Emperor didn't say a word, his eyes closed slightly, and he looked noncommittal.

After the trivial matters were discussed, the ministers were speechless and quietly looked at the emperor.

The emperor then slowly opened his eyes and began to look at the common people like a sleeping dragon.

"It's all over?"

The prime minister replied instead of the ministers: "Your Majesty, the discussion of government affairs has basically ended."

"So..." the emperor sat up straight and looked at the civil and military bureaucrats below jokingly, "might as well discuss the matter in the east?"

All the civil and military in the court bowed their heads, and no one dared to make a speech.

At this time, the ministers did not speak, so the prime minister representing the bureaucrat had to speak.

He hardened his head and bowed: "Your Majesty, Gyeonggi road is dangerous. The old minister thought that the urgent task should first solve the danger of Dongdu, and then find a way to send Deli scouts to Xuzhou to find out the military situation."

The emperor looked at the old Prime Minister. In order to better control power, the prime minister today is just a microphone promoted by him. On weekdays, he only needs to be responsible for conveying the will of his majesty and dealing with some trivial things in the court, without too many self political opinions and thoughts.

Therefore, this remark can also be said to be nonsense and did not touch the core of the problem.

To solve the difficulties of the eastern capital, how to solve them and who should be sent to solve them are the real core problems.

"What's the prime minister's idea?"

After hearing this, the old Prime Minister bowed lower, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He can get to his present position, even if he is only the mouthpiece of the emperor, it is by no means what a mediocre can do.

How he didn't know the plan, but he didn't dare to say! As a microphone, if you have your own ideas and political opinions, you won't be far away.

Moreover, in recent years, he has been in a high position. In order to compete for the favor of the emperor, he has done many things to harm loyal and good people and abuse power for personal gain. If you leave office in old age and are protected by the emperor Enron, you are not afraid of being plotted against after losing power.

However, if he was forced to leave his post and lost the emperor Enron, it is difficult to ensure that no one would take this opportunity to throw him into prison for his past crimes, become a poor political loser and suffer the whole family.

"The old minister is incompetent and doesn't know military affairs. It depends on the opinions of the Ministry of war." Directly threw the pot at the Minister of war.

At this moment, the emperor felt depressed. He found it interesting to tease the officials like this. But now, relying on the sword to stabilize the world, he has no news, which makes him anxious.

"Hum, no! He ordered Fan Yang's left Shence garrison to return to Gyeonggi province and be sure to remove the danger of wulaoguan. "

It is the intention of the border troops to return to defense. However, the number of border troops is insufficient and it is difficult to retreat from the enemy.

The emperor also knew the difficulties, but he didn't know the current situation of Zuo Shence, and he still had expectations for Zhang Zhen.

It was also with his consent that Li Chengye abandoned his strategy and stormed Xuzhou. Although he knew that Li Chengye's policy was a perfect one, he was afraid that the time would drag on for a long time, making it more unbearable for the government of the DPRK and China.

And his own body may not be able to support it for too long. If the Dragon controls bin Tian before calming the thief, the little emperor will succeed at the time of chaos in the world. How can we suppress these fierce border town generals in troubled times? I'm afraid that when the flames of war start, it's not just Henan road.

Therefore, the emperor agreed to Zhang Zhen's strategy of military adventure. At the beginning, he moved eastward to Bozhou and surrounded it for support. It also made him have no doubt about this strategy. But after entering Xuzhou, everything changed!

It is false to say that he does not regret, but as an emperor and a mature ruler, he has the courage to take responsibility and face the reality, which is also the most basic quality.

Now we can only temporarily make up for the lost sheep and pay attention to the development of the situation. We must find out the real military situation on the front line!

Thinking that the emperor would issue another decree to make elite scouts investigate the war situation, he would secretly send palace experts to Xuzhou.

Just as he was about to speak, a guard in front of the hall hurried in and reported it.

"Inform your majesty that Princess Shouning attendants master the emergency military situation and come to report!"

Even after decades of Nourishing Qi, the emperor couldn't help standing up and the ministers looked out together.

"Enter the hall with a proclamation!"

A woman dressed in linen and Ge clothes, stained with blood and messy hair, hurried into the hall with a scroll of letters in her hand.

The emperor naturally recognized her. He personally sent her to Shouning princess. She was a martial arts expert in the innate realm. At this time, he was very injured and tired.

You can imagine what kind of bloody battle she experienced all the way back to the city. A congenital master almost died in the war. You can imagine the danger on the way.

The emperor stopped the eunuch around him from taking the letter. Instead, he went down the steps and took back the princess's letter from the maid. And did not immediately look, but looked at the maid.

Wen Yan said, "you've worked hard, and you should go back to the palace to heal and rest first. You have your own royal doctor to take care of you. If you have any requirements, try to mention them. The royal family will not treat meritorious officials badly."

Even if the military situation was urgent, he could still appeal to people instinctively, which moved the maid who came back from life and death.

"Your Majesty, the front line, your highness..."

She didn't know if it would disturb the court, so she only whispered half, but she looked very anxious.

The emperor's heart sank, but he smiled, "go down."

Then sit back in the Dragon chair, open the letter of Princess Shouning, and read it word by word very carefully.

The ministers looked different. They secretly guessed the content of the letter, but they couldn't guess it. Then they remembered the maid just now. Although the traces of a lifetime of bloody war can only show that the situation in Gyeonggi province is dangerous, not how the war in Xuzhou is. It's so confusing.

The emperor smiled and read all the letters. After putting them down, he kept a seemingly satisfied smile and waved to retreat. In fact, his clenched fist was about to crush his fingers.

When I returned to the study and dismissed everyone, the blood gushing up to my throat suddenly spewed out because of emotional excitement.

"Li Qing, I'm wrong!"
