After meeting Emperor Qinglong, everyone quietly waited for the order.

With so many people in the same room, they could only hear the sound of breathing of different shades. There is no one who is not long-eyed who dares to make a noise at this time in this place.

The emperor summoned them, it must have something to do with the war in the north, and the nobles knew it.

In times of peace, they enjoy honors that others do not have. At this point, it's their turn to help.

Whether it is the four great princes, or those Hou Mansion and Bofu who have no successors and are declining day by day, they all have this understanding.

In a way, they were one with the Gaumang dynasty. Because the Wei family won the world, they became new nobles. Therefore, their fate is closely tied to the Wei family.

They understand the truth of cold lips and teeth better than anyone else.

If Gao Mang is destroyed, who will raise them? Instead of looking for an uncertain future, enjoy the present.

From this point of view, they are more loyal than the courtiers, regardless of their ability. When the time comes for them to serve, they won't back down.

Even the most unbearable nobles have the intention of fighting for their lives.

Emperor Qinglong glanced at them and said to Wu Guangqi: "Read." ”

Wu Guangqi launched an eight-hundred-mile expedited military situation, and his voice echoed in the hall. The defeat of Wu Zhengxiang's fabricated Northland army came to 1510.

Everyone below was secretly frightened when they heard this, could it be that the situation had reached this point?

I think that at the beginning, when the prince led the troops to the battle, he was so confident. Assembled an army of 40,000 and set off, the elite soldiers were like clouds, and there were constantly government soldiers joining along the way.

Unexpectedly, the army was broken up by the Ba family, and how many troops were defeated in the north?

Since the prince is seriously injured and has no backbone, even if there are good generals, it is in vain. Unlike Wenchen, even if they have not led soldiers, they know more or less about military affairs.

With such a scattered situation, it is not easy to gather the army again and defeat the Bajia army! Not to mention winning, even self-preservation is a problem.

Now that the army is scattered and the soldiers have become fleeing chaotic troops, wouldn't it be easier for the Ba family to break through?

There are also weather reasons. The soldiers assembled in the capital were not accustomed to the cold climate of the Northland. As each day gets colder, the battle situation becomes more dangerous.

Everyone was thinking to themselves, but Emperor Qinglong didn't speak, and everyone kept quiet.

"Your ancestors are all people who accompanied the first emperor to build a great country." Emperor Qinglong spoke slowly, first remembering the first emperor, and then said: "At this time, the national crisis is at hand, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

Everyone was silent for a while, in front of Emperor Qinglong, who dared to speak indiscriminately?

Yao Shangshu couldn't figure out the number of Emperor Qinglong's roads. Supposedly, these nobles were called for conscription. All the lords and nobles have raised private soldiers according to the regulations, and this force is not to be underestimated.

What's more, among them were originally generals, such as Dingguo Gong and Zhongguo Gong.

But the emperor asked, and no one could answer.

Dingguo Gong took a step forward, clasped his hands into fists and said: "Dingguo Mansion is sent by the emperor." The last general is willing to attach the tail wing and kill the enemy for the emperor. ”

He had no opinion, and his only proposition was to follow Emperor Qinglong's orders and point where to fight. Moreover, the cleverness of Dingguo Gong lies in the fact that he will no longer be in command, and will only be a general who obeys orders to kill the enemy.

He took the identity of this relative just right.

With him at the beginning, the other three major princes also stood up to express their positions. The other nobles were not willing to be left behind, and they came forward to show their loyalty. I can't wait to throw my head and spill blood immediately to show my loyalty.

Emperor Qinglong smiled with relief and said, "Good, good!" I have you, why worry about the injustice of the thief! ”

was provoked by him, and everyone was even more enthusiastic and passionate.

Emperor Qinglong coughed a few times, pressed his hands weakly, and everyone slowly quieted down. Although he was sick and weak, he still controlled the whole game.

"Meet the enemy, but how to meet the law, yesterday the six departments discussed, and gave me two ideas." He coughed a few more times, and Wu Guangqi hurriedly served the medicinal tea for him to drink.

Calming his breath, Emperor Qinglong said: "One, retreat to Hangu Pass." After the winter has passed, gather troops and move north. ”

He didn't explain anything, but who wouldn't understand the meaning behind this strategy? This is at the cost of giving up the crown prince, whether the prince lives or dies depends on his own ability.

"The other is to quickly gather elite troops to the north, enter the north to disrupt the situation, and wait for an opportunity to support Jinyang. At the same time, the capital raised grain and grass troops, and then went north. ”

After he finished speaking, the expressions of everyone below could be described as wonderful.

When there is no choice, everyone can show their loyalty, and the emperor will fight wherever he wants. Once they have a choice, who wouldn't want to stay in their comfort zone?

Ding Guogong gritted his teeth tightly and glanced at Yao Shangshu with cold eyes. He took the gun of Lao Dingguogong, and his military exploits were made with real knives and real guns.

In the first two years of the Tibetan War, he led a large army to meet the attack, and the command was brave and unmatched, until the Tubo lost his armor.

How can a civil servant like Yao Shangshu afford the power he has cultivated in the midst of thousands of troops?

Yao Shangshu was excited by him, and he really didn't understand Emperor Qinglong's intentions. In this palace, except for him, all the nobles are noble. Is it just to roast yourself on the fire?

Emperor Qinglong said that it was the two strategies drawn up by the six departments, and Dingguo Gong did not dare to say no to the emperor, so he naturally aimed his hatred at Yao Shangshu. Who made him the head of the military department?

Looking at the stones he thrown, he was startled by layer after layer of ripples, and Emperor Qinglong's eyes were cold. In his eyes, these people have been categorized.

After a while, he said: "Two methods, there are gains and losses." Those who are willing to stick to the left side of the station, and those who agree to go north alone stand on the right side. ”

This is not allowed to appear on the wall, forcing them to choose. As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at me, and I saw that you were shocked.

For them, most people felt that it was safer to retreat to Hangu Pass. But at this time, it's not about which method is better, but what does the emperor think?

The two diametrically opposed answers, only the answer in the heart of the chosen emperor is the right answer. However, how could everyone have thought that the news of the defeat of the Northland was fake, and Emperor Qinglong actually had no answer in his heart?

In such a short period of time, it is almost impossible to figure out the divine will. With that, only the understanding of the emperor on weekdays is concerned. But the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and it's almost no different from gambling.

Just when everyone was wandering, Emperor Qinglong paused, and he said, "Except for Yao Shangshu." Since he didn't look at Yao Shangshu's excerpts, he didn't plan to force him to stand in line immediately.

Yao Shangshu only felt that at this moment, sweat soaked his underwear.

All the nobles looked at him in unison, why did they have to choose immediately, and only the only Wenchen present didn't have to choose?

Yao Shangshu can't say if he is suffering, how do they know that he was entangled in pain last night?
