"Missing?" the executive was stunned. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmm!" Chen Ce nodded, and then said, "You've heard all those news......

Speaking of this, the executive's face became extremely bad like ordinary people, and he had a feeling of disbelief: "Master, are those news true?"

"Nature is true, the wind and rain are coming, and the autumn will fail, this is impossible......"

Even the prime minister of the empire could not understand Qiu Youqing's fiasco, because in the past few decades, as long as it was about war, the prestige and prestige of this first marshal had left an indelible impression on the hearts of everyone in the empire.

Undefeated!

But this time he was defeated for no reason, and the defeat caught everyone off guard.

The executive said: "If the army is defeated, the academy will ......"

Chen Ce sighed, and there was a hint of anger and luck in his words: "The army was defeated, the academy was destroyed, and according to the letters, only three people were missing!"

"Apart from the young master, who are the other two?"

Chen Ce closed his eyes and seemed to be in some pain: "One is the old guy in Qiu, he is estimated to have been captured by the Tang Dynasty, if he doesn't send someone to save him, Gu Tang's face will be lost." And the other person is a student like Gu Yu, a student named Xu Zhengri, who is just a civilian in Chang'an, so his disappearance is strange. ”

"Then why would the young master?" asked the executive anxiously, he didn't care about anything else.

Chen Ce said: "I don't know...... Just now, those family heads in the court said that it was his treason and collaboration with the enemy that led to the defeat of the army!"

"What!"

"Hmph, those old things!" Chen Ce opened his eyes and said angrily, "They have a good idea, the external trouble is urgent, my Gu Tang is about to face the biggest challenge in hundreds of years, they are still thinking about fighting in the nest, they are really the rats with no eyes!"

"Master, what about Young Master Gu Yu, will he be the same as Qiu Shuai, he was captured by the Tang Dynasty and left, how can we save him......

Chen Ce shook his head helplessly: "I don't know, I have to wait for Your Majesty to make a decision, after all, I am the prime minister of this empire, and at this juncture, I must not act rashly." ”

He walked to the window, looked at the plane tree outside the window, and sighed lowly: "The wind and rain are coming!"

……

Three days later, near the end of the year, it suddenly snowed in the city of Chang'an, and the white snow was like goose feathers, and like fluttering, flying in the air one after another, landing in this giant city like a dream, adding a trace of pure white and chill to the dark city wall.

There are thirteen roads in Chang'an, and each road is full of thick ice and snow, and there are fewer people coming and going. Many people have taken refuge in their houses, ready to wait for the new year in this area of grief and anger. But there were still many people standing outside the imperial city in the bitter cold, waiting for the decision of the emperor inside.

At this time, officials can also return home from the various yamen and start the longest vacation of the year for officials. But because of the bad news on the front line, at the end of the year, everyone is destined to not be able to live in peace. In the morning, when it was still dark, many officials had to get out of bed, sit in sedan chairs or ride horses, and rush to their offices in a sea of kindness.

In the imperial city, in the Chongwu Palace, fierce noises came out.

"Fight, you must fight back, I have been prosperous in the ancient Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, how can I suffer such a big humiliation!"

"How can you fight back, even Marshal Qiu was defeated by others, General Wang, do you think you are more powerful than Qiu Shuai?"

Chen Ce stood outside the main hall, listened silently, and then pushed the door in.

The wind and snow hit people, so that the officials inside were startled, and the eunuch and palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to close the door of the palace, and added an extra stove, so that the palace was warm again.

"Lord Chen Xiang!" the officials hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Chen Ce nodded and looked at the majestic emperor at the top: "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Tang nodded lightly, and then glanced at everyone: "I have heard the opinions of General Wang and Sun Aiqing, do you Aiqing have anything to say!"

Everyone was silent, and Emperor Tang said, "Chen Ce, you can talk about it!"

Chen Ce came out of the ranks, thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the battle must be fought, the glory of hundreds of years since the ancestor Tang Emperor cannot be destroyed in our hands, everything that the Tang Dynasty has done, we must fight back, and the blood sea in the Yugu Mountain Range must also be returned, and the Tang thieves will not be grateful to Dade because of our temporary concession." Weichen secretly thought that, as the ancestor said back then, the people who overthrew the Tang Dynasty were ambitious and unrepentant, and for this kind of villain, only if they were beaten, they would not dare to violate them. This battle must be fought, and this revenge must be avenged. As long as Your Majesty gives an order, I believe that millions of soldiers in the ancient Tang Dynasty will not take a step back!"

The head of the Sun family immediately frowned, and thought, isn't this against me, Chen Ce is really Chen Ce, he has to oppose anything in my family, and immediately opened his mouth to say something.

Emperor Tang had already said first: "What Chen Aiqing said is reasonable. I can't be humiliated in the ancient Tang Dynasty, and I must avenge revenge, but ...... As Sun Aiqing said, Marshal Qiu has been defeated, try to ask who else in the current army can take on this important responsibility, I have thought about it for three days, but I have not come to a result, if there is a candidate for Aiqing, you might as well come and listen!"

Everyone was silent again, Qiu Youqing was the first marshal of the ancient Tang Dynasty, the only military god in the army, and even he was defeated, who could lead the army to the battle? Although there were still many generals and talents in the army, none of them could match half of Qiu Youqing.

Emperor Tang sighed: "Since the news came from that time, I have been restless, and I want to avenge Qiu Qing, and the people outside have been waiting for me for three days, I can't bear it, but I can't help it, because I really can't find a suitable candidate......"

When the ministers heard this, they immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!"

Emperor Tang waved his hand and signaled that he was fine.

Chen Ce hesitated for a while, and stepped forward again: "Weichen, I have a suggestion......"

"Aiqing, say it quickly!"

"Although the Tang Dynasty has only broken through the Daijiang Road, if there is no one who can take on this great responsibility, it is only a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty drives straight in. For Gu Tang, it has come to the point of life and death, so Wei Chen dared to suggest, Your Majesty, you can drive the expedition in person!"

Driving the Expedition!

As soon as these words came out, the hall was shocked.

The ministers were dumbfounded. Because since the second generation of Tang Emperors, in the past few hundred years, the later Tang Emperors have been guarding the imperial capital and have never been out of Chang'an, and now, Chen Ce actually suggested that the emperor drive in person?

But after thinking about it, this is a helpless thing, no generals are available, no peerless handsome, so in the end, only to win with momentum, the Tang Emperor drove the expedition in person, this is a battle of a country, and the soldiers must fight to the death, so as to seek a glimmer of life.

The head of the family suddenly shouted: "Ridiculous, Lord Chen Xiang, your words are simply heartbreaking, Your Majesty can wait for his identity, how can he be easily ......"

Chen Ce ignored it, and behind him, six Shangshu and squire Lang came out at the same time, and respectfully asked: "Ministers, agree with what the prime minister said, please Your Majesty drive the expedition in person!"

For a time, more and more officials bowed down, and they also asked the Tang Emperor to drive the expedition in person.

Emperor Tang looked at these officials in a daze, and finally said, "Since all Aiqing are so ......"

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

At this time, it was the officials of the family's faction who spoke, although there were only a few people, but among the kneeling officials, they were extremely eye-catching.

Chen Ce had already looked at Emperor Tang quietly and said, "Your Majesty is personally recruiting, and the ministers should be the assistants, and they are willing to go together!"

As soon as these words came out, those people in the family had no explanation, they thought that Chen Ce was to let the Tang Emperor leave Chang'an, and he could control more power, which was the practice of the ministers, but they didn't want to, Chen Ce actually added such a sentence. For a while, they couldn't open their mouths, and they were even full of incomprehension.

Emperor Tang was also stunned, but then he thought of something, took a deep look at Chen Ce, and said, "Okay, this matter will be discussed later, I need to think about it." ”

After receiving the signal from Emperor Tang, Liu Xi stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "If there is nothing important to start, retire today!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something important to play!"

At this time, the head of the Sun family and the head of the Dugu family glanced at each other, and suddenly stepped forward and said.

Emperor Tang nodded: "Okay, the two Aiqing will go to the study with me to talk again, and the rest of the Aiqing will retreat today!"

The ministers knelt down to pay their respects, and Chen Ce looked at the two heads of the family thoughtfully.

……

The day passed quickly, but the wind and rain in Chang'an did not become smaller, but became heavier and heavier. If this continues, after one night, the entire Chang'an will be closed by heavy snow.

In the evening, Chen Ce sat in the study, quietly watching the snow scene in the backyard. The plane trees have long been filled with white snow, one by one, like fluttering and falling cotton.

In the entire Chen Mansion, there are only two scattered people now. One is the senior executives who have long lost their relatives and regard the Chen Mansion as a place for retirement, and the other is Chen Ce himself. The huge Chen Mansion, even on the occasion of the New Year, which should be a family reunion, is so silent.

A faint loneliness floats in every corner of the house.

At the same time, Chen Guyu's disappearance also made the entire Chen Mansion uneasy. In the morning, the handymen who came to work in the house from Wudaowai and the old mothers were also scolded by the executives who were in a bad mood for a trivial matter.

Chen Ce looked at Chen Guyu's room outside the window and sighed in a low voice.

Just as all parents in the world can't rest assured of their children, although Chen Ce is the prime minister of the empire, he still remembers his children, Chen Guyu disappeared in the war, although it is much better than dying directly, but under that kind of chaos, the disappearance is actually on the edge of death.

Therefore, Chen Ce was very anxious, and even took his subordinates to directly ask the Tang Emperor to personally conquer. He couldn't wait, he was going to the front to see what was going on.

Suddenly, in the infinite silence, a crane chirp was heard, which resounded throughout the mansion.

Chen Ce raised his head sharply and looked over the backyard.

I saw a strange bird circling and landing from the sky.

On the bird's feet, a small bamboo tube is tied.
