Snickering is snickering, the ministers still don't dare to say anything to Le Shitong, the right prime minister Shui Ya doesn't care, why should they accuse Le Shitong of breaking the rules of the last dynasty?

In the final analysis, they are still afraid of Le Shitong, the left prime minister.

Once upon a time, when they first entered this court, they were in their early twenties, and Kele Shitong was already the left prime minister and generalissimo of Xiangxiang Kingdom.

Now that they are half-old, Cola Shitong is still so young and gorgeous, and the years have not scratched any wounds on her face.

Later, they learned a terrible thing, that is, Le Shitong has been the prime minister of Xiangxiang Country for 5,000 years, like a thousand-year-old demon guarding the entire Xiangxiang Country, Xiangxiang Country has changed so many empresses in 20,000 years, and has experienced the replacement of many people, but Le Shitong can firmly sit in the position of Prime Minister Zuo.

It can be seen that her position in Xiangxiang Country is unbreakable, so these ministers see it very clearly and clearly, be their own officials, and don't anger this thousand-year-old prime minister.

Shui Ya was also slightly surprised when she saw Le Shitong standing beside her, but she still smiled and said, "Prime Minister Le, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Le Shitong nodded, and said in a flat tone: "During the time when Prime Minister was not in Xiangcheng, Prime Minister Shui Ya worked hard. ”

"Where, Prime Minister Le Cheng is still overworking on the front line to guard the border passes, and you still have to pay attention to your body." Shui Ya said lightly.

There was no sarcasm in her words, she was simply worried about Le Shitong, because she also heard it outside the Linfeng Hall just now, Le Shitong came back from injury last night, if it wasn't for Lin Tian's rescue. I guess I won't be able to see her today.

"Thank you, Prime Minister Shuiya, for your concern." Le Shitong still had an indifferent expression.

Shui Ya crooked her mouth and didn't say anything more. It's not the first time she's seen Le Shitong, and she's used to this kind of cold personality for a long time.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Aoi walked into the main hall. Make that old duck voice.

Accompanied by the fragrance of the empress on the dragon chair, the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Zhongqing is flat." The Empress of Water Fragrance said.

"Thank you."

When the ministers stood up from the ground, Empress Shui Xiang saw Le Shitong standing among the civil officials at a glance, not that she deliberately looked at it, but that Le Shitong's golden armor was really incompatible with Shui Ya dressed as a white scholar, and it was difficult for her to see it if she didn't want to.

"Prime Minister Le, why are you back?" Prime Minister Shui Xiang was a little surprised. Hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Prime Minister Le defeated the army of the Southern Yan Kingdom and returned triumphantly?" ”

But after Empress Shuixiang asked this sentence, she felt that there was a problem, because in the past, before Le Shitong came back from the expedition, she would let the soldiers come back first to report the good news, but this time she did not get good news, which shows that there must be a hidden secret.

Le Shitong suddenly knelt on the ground and reported in a very sad tone: "Your Majesty, this time I led an army of 200,000 to resist the invasion of the Southern Yan Kingdom, and after battles large and small. Kill a total of 100,000 enemies...... Just yesterday morning, we had a large-scale decisive battle with the Southern Yan Kingdom, and just as we were about to win, the enemy's 500,000 reinforcements suddenly arrived. We can't reach it...... All the 120,000 heroic daughters of my Xiangxiang country sacrificed their lives for the country......"

The ministers were suddenly surprised, Le Shitong was a victorious general of Xiangxiang Country, and he had almost never lost a battle. This time it was defeated.

On top of that, 120,000 soldiers were sacrificed this time. They are all elite soldiers of the empire, for Xiangxiang Country. The losses are simply too great.

Empress Shuixiang's brows furrowed slightly, she didn't expect Le Shitong to lose the battle, sighed, and comforted: "Prime Minister Le doesn't have to grieve, their sacrifice to defend their land is also valuable." ”

Empress Shui Xiang shifted her gaze to Shui Ya's body again, and said, "Royal Sister, do a good job in the aftermath of the sacrificed soldiers, and be sure to be comprehensive. ”

"The royal sister obeys." Shui Ya said lightly.

Empress Shuixiang looked at Le Shitong again and asked, "Prime Minister Le, I don't know how the war is ahead?" ”

Le Shitong immediately said: "After yesterday's battle, our army suffered heavy casualties, lost five or six cities one after another, and now there is no force that can move to attack, so I had to retreat to Nanxia Pass with the remaining 80,000 soldiers......

After Le Shitong finished reporting, the ministers immediately panicked, Nanxia Pass is a city located in the middle of Xiangxiang Country, and it is only two thousand five hundred miles away from the national capital Xiangcheng.

Empress Shuixiang's face was also a little ugly, but she still patted the dragon chair, with majesty in her tone, and said: "How can this be reasonable, Nanyan Kingdom is really too deceitful, I have tolerated everywhere, I didn't expect them to get an inch, Prime Minister Le, do you have a strategy to deal with the enemy?" ”

Le Shitong nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I came back this time to ask for reinforcements, the troops of Nanyan Kingdom in front at this time have reached as many as 800,000, and our 80,000 men and horses are not enough to resist them, and I also ask Your Majesty to make a decision quickly, after all, Nanxia Pass, which is guarded by 80,000 people, is estimated to not be able to resist for long in the face of 800,000 soldiers and horses." ”

The empress nodded thoughtfully, and then ordered: "Yin Hatezhu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, wants the following prefectures and counties to issue a conscription document, and it is incomparable to recruit 300,000 troops within five days......"

"Wechen obeys." Yin Hatzhu, the secretary of the military department, received the holy decree and left the early dynasty directly, this matter is a first-class matter, and she does not dare to slack off.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid 300,000 troops are not enough." Le Shitong said again: "The minister wants to ask His Majesty to transfer the Imperial Forest Army of the Four Great Mansions to me to use...... In addition, when the minister and Nan Yanguo were fighting yesterday, they found that there were a lot of cultivators mixed in the soldiers, which seemed to be deliberately sent by Nan Yanguo, they were all ruthless characters, and ordinary soldiers were not their opponents at all, so the minister also asked His Majesty to ask Wen Taishi for help, so that she could issue an order for the monks of the Cardinal Sect to also participate in this battle. ”

This battle is about the life and death of Xiangxiang Country, and there is no room for loss, Le Shitong will definitely not allow other countries to occupy Xiangxiang Country, even if he exhausts the country's troops, he must hold the territory of Xiangxiang Country.

But the Empress of Shui Xiang hesitated, Le Shitong's two requirements were really difficult.

Le Shitong's mention made many ministers complain, but no one dared to stand up and say a word, so they had to talk to each other in a whisper.

Lin Tian crooked his mouth unhappily, took a step forward, and said, "Your Majesty, there will be a performance at the end." ”

"General Lin, what do you have to do?" When Empress Shui Xiang was also in trouble, she seemed to sense that Lin Tian wanted to help her, and hurriedly said. (To be continued......)
