"Old Prime Minister, Yelu Chu is not good for peace, and there is the crime of bullying the king, accept Your Majesty's grace, but the official is demoted one level to remove the prime minister, there is no heavy responsibility, you can call Yelu Chu by name, and you must no longer be called a prime minister. ”

Yelu Chu bowed and hugged his fists.

Since Qin Xiao came to invite the old prime minister to come out of the mountain, the position of prime minister naturally belongs to the old prime minister, and the old prime minister is his mentor, how can he overstep.

"Old Prime Minister, in today's battle, nearly half of the officials in Wangcheng rebelled, and the treasury was also looted by Ba Linglong. ”

Qin Xiao briefly explained the current situation and said to the old prime minister.

"Your Majesty, don't kill the old minister. ”

The old prime minister looked frightened, and hurriedly helped Qin Xiao up.

There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, even Qin Xiao is the youngest, he is also a king, not to mention that he feels that Qin Xiao's breath is like an abyss, and the emperor's authority is revealed, how can there be a trace of transgression.

"Old Prime Minister, let's talk while walking. ”

Qin Xiao pulled the old prime minister out and said to Yelu Chu: "Lord Yelu, you tell the old prime minister about the current specific situation." ”

“...... That's the case, Master, what do you think we should do now?"

Yelu Chu briefly explained the current situation and asked the old prime minister for advice.

The old prime minister thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Yelu, in fact, there is no clever way to do things in the world, only to prescribe the right medicine and put enough effort into it.

Now the people's hearts are flustered, we will stabilize the people's hearts, we can't stabilize the hearts of so many people at once, let's first stabilize the hearts of these civil and military officials around us, and then go to the major forces in the royal city to talk about it, and then let them stabilize the people's hearts at the next level, so that we will push down the next level, and tell the people that we will not loot them, fill the emptiness of the treasury, nor will we force the strong Ding, let them go to death, the people of the Ba family are all in our hands, as long as they want to save the people of Bajiuzhou, they will not dare to come nonsense, the situation should be able to stabilize slowly。

However, the Ba clan has many henchmen in the army, and it is bound to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, and we must use the momentum of thunder to clear out the traitors in key positions so that they cannot instigate rebellion against the troops.

As for what to do next after stabilizing people's hearts, I think Your Majesty is also in the chest, and there is no need for the old minister to talk about it.

However, according to the old minister, if you want to minimize the turmoil, the only way to lure the enemy into the depths, adopt a beheading strategy, and try to wipe out the Ba father and son. ”

Speaking of this, the old prime minister sighed in his heart.

Ba Jiuzhou has gathered a lot of strong people over the years, and the Linghu Realm that he can convene is probably much more than the court can summon, and it is not easy to kill the Ba family father and son by beheading.

However, the matter has come to this point, and we can only do our best to talk about it first, so naturally we can't vent everyone's anger.

Qin Xiao said in agreement: "What the old prime minister said is extremely true, and I also ask the old prime minister to re-palm the seal, and with the assistance of Lord Yelu and other lords, the situation in the royal city will be stabilized as soon as possible." ”

Then he said: "I have got a good opportunity in Shenglong Dao, Dan Dao and Medical Dao have achieved a small success, the old lady's injury should be able to heal quickly, please rest assured that the old prime minister and all of you are reassured." ”

"Can you really cure the old lady?"

When the old prime minister heard this, the gloom in his heart was swept away.

He and the old lady Xiahou Chong have a single article and a martial arts, until Qin Xiao, and jointly assisted three generations of martial arts kings, and they are naturally very clear about the old captain's ability and prestige in the army.

At this time, outside the royal city, the Beijing division was stationed in a military camp.

The arsenal commander Wang Mingyu, the arsenal Cheng Sun Guochang, and several lieutenants Gu Jianfei were drinking to relieve their boredom.

"Boom!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, Sun Guochang suddenly put the bowl on the table, and said with a little wine: "Brothers, I won't tell you all, in our arsenal, there are less than 300,000 feather arrows left, and there are 100,000 people in the Jingshi Iron Cavalry and Jingshi armor, and there are less than three arrows in manpower, and there is a serious shortage of cars, knives, shields, armor, and spears.

"yes!"

A general took over the conversation and said with a bitter face: "Like the five thousand armor soldiers under my command, there are not a few of them with complete armaments, either the knife is like a saw, or there are a few holes in the shield, and some simply don't even have military armor, how can they go into battle to fight?"

"You can't blame the lieutenant for the shortage of military resources. ”

Wang Mingyu obviously knew the inside story, and defended Lieutenant Gu Jianfei: "My lord has applied to the head many times, but they have all been rejected by the overlord on the grounds that the border situation is tight, we are fine, I am afraid that the brothers below will die in vain." ”

"yes. ”

Another general also agreed: "The boss is an iron-blooded army, not only is he well-armed, but his own quality is not comparable to those of us who don't have many knives, and the fight is definitely one-sided." ”

"Drink!"

Speaking of this, several people looked very depressed, and Wang Mingyu raised his wine glass and said loudly.

"Actually, they are handsome and their father and son, and they are not thin on us......

After a few more drinks, Sun Guochang said to the other people with a little bit of wine.

"Brother Sun, you drank too much. ”

Wang Mingyu immediately interrupted, confusing the army's heart, this is a big crime to lose his head.

"General Sun is not wrong......

Seeing that others didn't dare to speak, one of the generals muttered while throwing peanuts into his mouth.

Hearing this, although Wang Mingyu and the others did not speak, their hearts couldn't help but be shaken.

Whoever is a king doesn't want people to lead troops to fight, for them, middle-level generals, as long as they don't die on the battlefield, they will still be their generals if they are defeated and surrendered, at most they will be demoted to one and a half ranks.

Anyway, this is a civil war, and it is difficult to tell who is right and who is wrong, so they can't help but be confused in their hearts.

Such a situation not only appeared in this military tent, coupled with the secret manipulation of some people with ulterior motives, the entire Jingshi garrison undercurrent surged, and a rebellion could occur at any time.

"Old Prime Minister, I want to go to Xiahou Mansion to heal the old lady and stabilize the political situation, so I ask you to worry about it. ”

Sending the old prime minister back to the Sikong family, Qin Xiao asked the old prime minister again, and under the escort of Tao Yan and others, he rushed to the Xiahou family.

"The old minister Xiahou Cong welcomes my king, long live my king, long live long live!"

When Qin Xiao and his entourage arrived at the Xiahou family, the entire Xiahou family was all standing on the school field outside the clan, and as soon as they saw Qin Xiao coming, the old lady immediately led Xiahou Chong and others to kneel down and shouted long live to Qin Xiao.

Although the old lady is recuperating at home, he has always been very concerned about the government and politics, and he has long heard about the rise of "Han Lin", and learned that "Han Lin" is the current king, who can heal his injuries, and the agitation in his heart can be imagined.
