While the Qing army was intensively planning their evil plan, the city of Nanjing began to fall into a restless mess.

If the loss of Huai'an is still an acceptable thing to Nanjing to a certain extent, the loss of Luzhou directly detonated the guide. Fire!

Huai'an is in Jiangbei, no matter how many people die, and there is a big river block, it can't threaten Nanjing or itself after all.

But Luzhou is the gateway to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Liu Liangzuo's dedication to the Qing army also means that the Qing army's troops can come to Nanjing at any time.

Just as Xu Changqing expected, the model army's previous victory in Haicheng reached Nanjing, but instead of suppressing the restlessness of Nanjing City, it became more and more tyrannical.

Especially under the guidance of people with hearts, the spearhead has been pointed at Xu Changqing!

"Lao Li, you are still here stupidly, do you know that the Tartar Bingfeng is about to go to our Nanjing City, and the Tartars are going to enter Nanjing City."

"No, it's impossible, didn't our Haicheng Marquis just win several battles? What kind of banner owner did he capture the Tartars alive in Kuandian? ”

"Phew!"

"Don't talk about it, I'll be angry when I say it! If it weren't for Haicheng's reckless soldiers and causing trouble everywhere, how could the Tartars come to fight us in Nanjing? You don't know yet, Huai'an and Luzhou have been lost, maybe tomorrow morning the Tartars will go to Nanjing City......"

"What? This ......"

In the tavern, on the street, in the teahouse, in the green building, in the flower boat...... The news spread like the wind, spreading rapidly in the city of Nanjing.

In such a situation, there are noses and eyes, let alone ordinary people, they are progressive students with culture and knowledge, and the young ladies of Qinglou also began to doubt Xu Changqing.

If you think about it, that's really the case.

If it weren't for Xu Changqing's reckless military force everywhere and scolding the Tartars, it would be impossible for the Tartars to become angry and make such a big battle.

Now it's okay, not only Xu Changqing and the model army are trapped in Haicheng, but the Qing army's soldiers are going to Nanjing City.

Compared with the people, the controversy between the DPRK and China is more intense.

In particular, many forces that had been strongly suppressed by Xu Changqing before quickly seized this opportunity to rush up, and they soon gathered in groups of three or five to discuss secretly, reach a battle line, and use various methods to strictly guard against the spies who guarded the Jinyi Guard.

The funny thing is that the Qing army is going to the city of Nanjing, and their first thought is not how to defend the city, but how to press Xu Changqing to death, so as to earn benefits......

It's a mess in the cabinet that is also noisy.

Two days have passed since the cabinet received the loss of Luzhou, and seven or eight meetings have been held, but it has not come up with a decision.

At the imperial meeting early this morning, it was a mess again.

Ma Shiying was scheming, but he was not rash, but he used means to push Hou Xun out.

Hou Xun is not stupid, knowing that he can't avoid this 'rising bird', so he directly analyzed the situation in front of the emperor and poured bitter water.

The core is one thing, Nanjing is thin, Jiangnan is thin, if the Qing army comes, how should the Ming Dynasty deal with it?

Although he didn't dare to mention Xu Changqing for half a word, he was extremely clever in directing the fire to Qian Qianyi.

Qian Qianyi had ten big heads at this time.

It's not that he has no experience in dealing with crises, and he has suffered losses and long memories, but he has never faced such a turbulent offensive, and he doesn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he can only remain silent for a while.

Hou Xun and several other bigwigs saw that Qian Qianyi was silent, and immediately burned this fire more and more, and soon there were signs of martial arts.

"Don't make any noise!"

At this time, Zhu Cihong finally couldn't help it, and shouted: "All the princes are the pillars of my Ming humerus, and there is no result if we quarrel like this, we still have to come up with a solution as soon as possible......"

Zhu Cihong had gradually taken control of part of the initiative in the court at this time, but he was investigated

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

didn't control it all, he was still very cautious, even if he was angry, he maintained enough humility to give face to the cabinet bigwigs.

The Son of Heaven spoke, and everyone didn't dare to quarrel in person.

Hou Xun said respectfully: "Emperor, for the sake of today's plan, we can only guard against it." Although Luzhou has been lost, so far, we have not received any other emergencies from the front, and the situation should not be too bad.

Moreover, although there are some ships in Luzhou, there are not many.

Since my Ming Dynasty moved south, I have been controlling the ships on the river, and the boats that can cross the river are basically in our south of the Yangtze River. If the Qing army wants to collect more large ships, they may have to go to Poyang Lake.

In the opinion of the ministers, we can first issue a death order to the localities, so that all localities can strictly guard against them, and on the other hand, strictly control the ships in various places, so that the Qing army will not have the opportunity to collect the ships.

Finally, closely monitor all sections of the river, and once the Qing army shows signs of crossing the river, it must ensure that the imperial court knows about it as soon as possible......"

Hou Xun is from a professional class, and he has read sage books, he has a lot of experience, and his means are not weak, his words are orderly, Zhu Cihong and the elders of the pavilion all nodded.

Shi Kefa also praised: "The elder Hou Ge is very right. As long as I, the Ming Dynasty, closely monitor the river, we will definitely be able to discover the movements of the Qing army at the first time. If the opportunity allows, I can even take the initiative to attack and strive to hit it half a degree! ”

Shi Kefa is still very bloody, and he doesn't want to be beaten so passively.

But as soon as his words came out, he immediately encountered many refutations.

Aren't other people as bold as him, and defending the city well makes people worry and attack?

However, Hou Xun and Shi Kefa expressed their positions separately, but the situation was temporarily stabilized.

Zhu Cihong didn't have a good way after thinking about it, so he followed it first.

After the meeting ended, Hou Shi's body was already covered with cold sweat.

Although he did not publicly accuse Xu Changqing this time, he was only passively pushed to this juncture, but who is Xu Changqing? As soon as this battle is over, he will definitely appear on Xu Changqing's hostile list, and Xu Changqing will really remember it......

Thinking of being remembered by a hero like Xu Changqing, Hou Xun couldn't sleep well.

But the baby son Hou Fangyu grabbed the handle, what choice did he have?

Returning to the Hou Mansion not far from the Imperial City, Hou Fangyu had been waiting here for a long time, and hurriedly greeted him excitedly: "Father, how is the situation in the cabinet?" ”

"Hmph."

Hou Xun snorted coldly, didn't look at Hou Fangyu, and walked inside.

Hou Fangyu couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't know where he had offended his Lao Tzu's discomfort, and was thinking about it urgently, when Hou Xun, who had already walked more than a dozen steps, suddenly said coldly: "What are you doing stupidly?" Come with me to the study! ”

"Oh, it's ......"

Hou Fangyu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly and respectfully followed Hou Xun to the study.

The study room was elegant and quiet, and the familiar scent of ink made Hou Fangyu's mind sober up a lot, and he was busy smiling and saying, "Dad, it's going well today, right?" The child will make you a cup of tea. ”

Looking at Hou Fangyu's diligent busyness, Hou Xun couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Although his son has many shortcomings, it is his species, and in the final analysis, it is still the lax discipline of him, which makes him make mistakes on such principled issues.

Waiting for Hou Fangyu to finish making tea, Hou Xun didn't drink it, just looked at him coldly.

“……”

Hou Fangyu also realized that something was wrong at this time, although he couldn't understand Hou Xun's mind, but he could feel Hou Xun's temperament, knowing that he was really angry, for a moment, he said with difficulty: "Dad, you, what are you doing looking at the child like this?" I don't know, I don't know what's wrong with the child......"

"Do you know it's wrong?!"

"Do you know what the hell you've done? Do you know how much your dad and I paid today? Do you know ......?"

As soon as he heard this, Hou Xun's anger did not hit one place, but the anger in his heart dissipated a lot, at least, his son was still saved.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Faced with Hou Xun's slap on his head and face, Hou Fangyu didn't even dare to let out a fart, and honestly stood next to him.

After a while, I saw that the anger of waiting for ten days was almost gone, and then I said with difficulty: "Dad, child, child doesn't know, please ......make it clear."

Hou Xun was actually angry, but he deliberately said coldly: "Do you know what you said in that mansion the day before yesterday?" Why don't you have a brain when you're such a big person? Can you talk so nonsense?! ”

At the mention of this, Hou Fangyu was still a little empty-hearted, but he was about to explode, his blood boiled rapidly, and he shouted with his neck: "Dad, you don't like to hear what you say!" Did I say the wrong thing?

If it weren't for Xu Changqing, a national thief, who had been provoking the Tartars, how could the Tartars be so rash and use swords against me?

Others are afraid of him Xu Changqing, but I'm not afraid!

Others don't dare to say this, I, Hou Fangyu, must say it!

Even if the Nine Clans are exterminated, my Hou Fangyu has no regrets! I'm Ming, someone has to stand up after all! I'm Hou Fangyu, not a bad seed! ”

Hou Xun was about to be blown up, but when he heard Hou Fangyu's last few words, he was suddenly stunned, and his whole person suddenly declined.

It took Hou Fangyu a long time to find out that something was wrong with his old man, so he hurriedly stepped forward, carefully supported him, and hurriedly said: "Dad, Dad, the child is not filial, you, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare the kids......"

As he spoke, tears could not stop falling.

Hou Xun waved his hand tiredly, "Don't cry, man's husband, what are you crying about?" Chaozong, you have this integrity, and you are still very pleased to be a father. However, to be a human being is to talk about wisdom. I am a Ming, and the ministers can indeed leave their names and be famous for eternity, but this is not what you say. ”

Hearing that Hou Xun seemed to be teaching himself, Hou Fangyu's slightly calmed blood couldn't help but become restless, and he nodded again and again, "Dad, if it is an ordinary situation, the child would not want to be this bird, but~, at this time, the national disaster is at the head."

Xu Changqing has been reckless and has repeatedly provoked incidents, my Ming Dynasty has just moved south, and his foothold is not stable, if he is allowed to toss like this, how can there be peace in the world?

Daddy, is the child for himself? It's all for the sake of the world! Even if there is a price, the child will not hesitate!

Today's saint, forgiving and sage, since no one wants to come out and be this wicked person, then let this wicked person be the child!

Dad, don't worry, the child will leave no pen immediately, and it will never implicate you and the Hou family! ”

Looking at Hou Fangyu's awe-inspiring appearance, Hou Xun was tired and relieved, holding Hou Fangyu's hand and saying, "If you can think like this, you can feel at ease for your father." This time, it's a good opportunity to get ahead. However, if you do this, you are a mortal enemy with Xu Changqing, are you ready? ”

Hou Xun looked at Hou Fangyu.

Hou Fangyu's heart suddenly felt empty, and he couldn't help but think of Xu Changqing's cold and majestic appearance again, as if looking at him like an ant, could he really defeat Xu Changqing?

But soon the anger and jealousy broke through his fear, and Hou Fangyu stiffened his neck and said, "Dad, the child is not afraid!" Since childhood, you have taught children the truth that 'wealth is only sought in danger'! If your child wants to fulfill his long-cherished wish, this is a great opportunity! Even, even if Nanjing City really can't hold it, the child can be regarded as leaving a back road for our Hou family. ”

Hou Xun's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked straight at Hou Fangyu.

Hou Fangyu was not afraid at this time, and bravely looked at Hou Xun.

After a while, Hou Xun's old face suddenly recovered a lot, but he waved his hand lightly and said, "I'm a little tired for my father, you go down first." ”

"This ......"

Hou Fangyu wanted to say something, but seeing Hou Xun's tired appearance, he could only hang his head and go out first.

Seeing his son leaving, Hou Xun suddenly regained a lot of spirits, and the whole person was a little brighter, and muttered: "Fortunately, the ancestors bless, the heavens bless, my Hou family, there are successors." ”
