The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, and they could only wait for their monarch to vent their thunderous anger, and now whoever opened his mouth was a punching bag. The monarch of Yingguo threw this battle report at the feet of a military general, and said with a sneer: "General Qingchuan, take a look at this battle report, Aoki is your brother, this time he is the commander of the three armies, but before leaving, he patted my chest and said that he wanted to take the border city of the dynasty, and now in just three hours on the first day, he made the family slaughter 500,000, and the remaining 200,000 were cowered in Kyushu City, he really gave me a long face!"

The named general hurriedly picked up the battle report and read it. After reading it, his mind was racing to find a way out, and he saw that Aoki had already found a reason for him. He saluted the monarch and said: "Your Majesty, the minister's brother Aoki has learned the military book since he was a child, and has been growing up in the military camp, the minister believes that he is the general who leads the army, but this time the general of the former army is the first to light the enemy, regardless of the overall situation in the back, and disobeys the orders of the commander of the three armies. First of all, they were surrounded by people and did not retreat, and they could not stick to them, blocking the movement of the Chinese army and being quickly attacked by people and unable to form an effective return defense, resulting in the slaughter of our 500,000-strong army. Aoki is certainly guilty, but the minister thinks that he is not guilty, and the former army commander is the culprit, and they are the sons of General Inoue. ”

The monarch looked at the other general: "Inoue, what do you have to say?"

General Inoue fell to his knees: "The minister's crime deserves death, and the minister's godson has no way." "Now he is dumb and eats yellow lotus, he can't tell if he suffers, his children have all died in battle, and he can't find anyone who wants to find a proof.

The monarch sneered: "Then you go down there and teach them on my behalf, ignore the military orders before the battle, you are really good at teaching!" Inoue was dragged down by the guards.

"Report ...... Forward battle report. A dusty messenger went straight into the main hall, knelt on one knee, and presented the battle report with both hands. The monarch's order attendant presented it, he looked at the battle report anxiously, he needed to understand the military situation ahead as soon as possible, looked at him and began to breathe rapidly, his eyes were eager to erupt fire, and kicked the jade case that had been overturned off the throne, and the ministers below immediately knelt on the ground, and even their breathing became very cautious, they were all thinking: It seems that there is bad news coming back from the front. At the same time, I was also thinking about whether I participated in the proposal to go to war, and it seems that the pro-war faction is going to be purged this time. There was nothing else in the entire hall except for the sound of the monarch's rapid breathing, and it was really a sound that could be heard when a needle dropped.

The monarch laughed angrily, and fiercely grabbed the battle report and said, "Qingchuan, do you guess what this battle report says?"

Qingchuan leaned lower and said cautiously: "Weichen doesn't dare to speculate without permission. ”

The monarch directly threw the battle report on Qingchuan's head, and a crisp sound sounded, which was the sound of the battle report falling to the ground. The monarch stood up and shouted at Qingchuan: "Don't you dare, take a good look at yourself, your brother is really a piece of material, not to mention my 500,000 army, relying on 200,000 rear troops to retreat to Kyushu City, he actually let people touch the room and assassinate him, and he was assassinated at your brother's dinner table, this defense is really good, 200,000 people even let people kill the boss without knowing." ”

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was in an uproar, Qingchuan excitedly unfolded the battle report and looked at it, this time it was obviously not discussed, Aoki was dead, and his responsibility could not escape, at that time he was highly advocating the monarch to fight, and now he was defeated first and the commander was stabbed, this is a slap in the face of the monarch, he knew that he would die today, so he had to kneel on the ground and shout: "Weichen is guilty, Weichen deserves death." ”

"Of course you are guilty, this king doesn't know what the use of raising your group of waste, as the saying goes: raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, this king has raised you for decades, and it doesn't take a few hours to let people slaughter a clean, and the commander has let people kill, before leaving, what the imperial army is a cowardly sheep, it will take less than three days to conquer its city, and now it is killed by people and face to me to support, a group of waste that is not a pity to die. Aokawa, you better go down and ask what kind of imperial army Aoki encountered!" Aokawa's body couldn't help but tremble, and at this time, the hand of the janissary guard was already on his shoulder, which made him tremble even more.

"Wait!"

At this time, a voice appeared, and after everyone heard it, it turned out to be the prime minister of the truce faction, could this be to fall into the well and completely suppress the pro-war faction. The monarch looked at the prime minister, his expression softened a lot, and he said softly: "Prime minister, I regret that I didn't listen to you at the beginning, but I was blinded by these fools, and now you can say whatever you want." ”

The prime minister said: "On the one hand, this defeat was caused by the light enemy, and we have not learned about the situation of the dynasty over the years, or we still attribute them to the same as they were forty years ago, which is our omission." On the one hand, the imperial dynasty deliberately set a trap, and they set a trap on the grounds that their emperor returned to the west, and it seems that their new emperor did have some tricks and cruelty, which we did not expect. Besides, we are really prepared to be rushed in this battle, this is our own problem, and we can't blame others. Now that the problem has arisen, please learn from the pain, since there are still 200,000 troops to defend the city, it is now important to send the commander and elite soldiers to defend Kyushu City first. Now our country's generals are withering, please let go of my obsession, the generals who died in front of us have lost too much, and now it would be too unwise to behead General Qingchuan again, Weichen implored my king to let General Qingchuan wear the handsome seal, go to stabilize the army's heart, and protect my territory. ”

The monarch closed his eyes and pondered, thought for a moment, and saluted to the prime minister: "Thank you for the teachings of the prime minister." The prime minister hurriedly bowed back and said: "Weichen is afraid, my king and the son of heaven must not bow to him." The monarch turned to look at Qingchuan and said: "Thanks to the Prime Minister's recommendation for you, I really have no one available for the time being, so I will keep your life first, and now you lead the three army commanders' seals, and I will give you another 50,000 elite soldiers, you remember, if Kyushu City is lost, you will apologize with death!"

Qingchuan, who was put down by the guards, fell to the ground like a prostration, buried his head deeper, and said to the monarch: "Thank you for the grace of King Wu not to kill, and the criminal minister will go to guard Kyushu City, and he will swear to defend the territory to the death." Then he withdrew from the main hall and prepared for the corresponding matters.

"Report ...... Report to the battle ahead", at this time, a messenger at the door of the main hall helped a person who looked like a civil official into the main hall. The civil official was the civil official who fled from Kyushu City in advance, and I saw him fall to his knees and cry: "My king is above, Kyushu City is broken, and the 200,000 defenders of the city have been annihilated...... Everyone looked at this ragged man with tears on his face in horror.

The monarch of Yingguo walked in front of him in three steps and two steps, pulled him up, pulled him by the collar and said angrily, "What did you say?"

The civil official was silent, and said in a trembling voice: "The imperial army has attacked Kyushu City at dawn. He closed his eyes in a dead heart, knowing that bringing this news back would definitely make the monarch Longyan angry, and he would definitely die.

The monarch's hand loosened his collar, the civil official collapsed to the ground, the monarch staggered back a few steps, and said lonely: "This king knows ......" After speaking, he spurted a mouthful of blood on his back to the sky, and fell to the ground. The crowd shouted as they lifted the monarch: "Medic, pass on the Medic!"
