Half a month later, an express report in the capital reached Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Jianwen directly slammed the ink inkstone on the desk, and was furious: "Waste, it's all a bunch of waste!" ”

The palace people were silent, and no one dared to breathe loudly.

"Isn't there a single capable person in this great Nanchu?" Emperor Jianwen drank again.

"Go and call the prime minister!" After crackling and dropping a bunch of things, Emperor Jianwen gradually calmed down.

When Dugong heard this, he hurriedly gave his little eunuch a look, and the little eunuch was a smart one, so he quickly ran out.

Emperor Jianwen collapsed on the dragon chair, gasping for breath, his eyes full of defeat: "Is my Nanchu really going to be destroyed?" ”

Thinking that he has been in power for twenty-five years, he has never felt that there is no one available in his hands, what is wrong? and Mu Sheng, that slut, dared to take off his clothes in public, causing him to be unable to raise his head in front of the ministers, and he deserved to die without a whole body, and he was wiped out! If it weren't for him, how could Beifeng have one more reason to deal with Nanchu, and why would the people of the world face Fenglin!

At this moment, Emperor Jianwen suddenly felt that this imperial study was much empty, as if he was the only one left.

Yi'er, where are you? Nanchu is about to be destroyed, are you still angry with your father? Emperor Jianwen was even thinking, if his Yi'er was still there, would he not be so isolated now?

Emperor Jianwen thought a lot, and it wasn't until Ning Cunzhi came in a hurry that he had to stop thinking nonsense.

"Wechen see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." Ning Cunzhi lifted his robe and knelt on the ground to salute.

"Prime Minister, please get up!" Emperor Jianwen waved his hand.

Ning Cunzhi stood up and asked, "The emperor is urgently summoned, but what went wrong at the border pass?" ”

"The prince brought an army of 200,000, and there were also 200,000 troops at the border pass, and 100,000 were killed in the first battle, and Beifeng came out of nowhere with an iron horse, a full 500,000!" The more Emperor Jianwen said, the more ugly his face became.

"Five hundred thousand? But when the spies in Beifeng came back to report, Beifeng's troops were only 500,000...... What's more, the minister didn't think that the 500,000 were so powerful. Ning Cunzhi also frowned.

But my heart is full of joy, Jiang Lige, I didn't expect your support to be so strong, there are 500,000 troops! Fenghuang is a country and a city for you.

"It is rumored that Feng Lin has a strange soldier in his hand, and he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, no less than the ...... back then The Black Cavalry, I always thought the rumors were needed, but I didn't expect it to be true. "Emperor Jianwen seems to be reluctant to talk about the Black Cavalry.

"Your Majesty, such a situation is really unfavorable to Nanchu, not to mention that the 500,000 army seems to have fallen from the sky, just in the name of the Fenghuang Fenglin God of War, military ability, Marshal Liu is not an opponent, if it is the ...... of the year It's still there, maybe you can turn the crisis into safety and turn the danger into a disaster! Ning Cunzhi's face was full of solemnity.

When Emperor Jianwen heard this, he directly swept away the things on the table, his eyes were heavy, and his tone became cold: "So the prime minister thinks that without Jiang Ao, I can only sit and wait for death, right?" ”

Ning Cunzhi was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground and apologized: "The emperor misunderstood, the minister didn't mean this." ”

Emperor Jianwen saw that he looked remorseful, his face was a little better, and he said: "The prime minister is also in his year of establishment, what should be said, what should not be said, what can be done, what cannot be done, it should be clear." Immediately, he thought of the purpose of summoning Ning Cunzhi to come today, and said with great compassion: "This time, I will not be held accountable, I hope there will be no next time, get up." ”

Ning Cunzhi wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his face, and got up tremblingly.

Emperor Jianwen said: "Now that Southern Chu and Northern Feng have to face each other, I have decided to send another 200,000 troops. ”

Ning Cunzhi knelt down directly when he heard this, and said: "Your Majesty, against the 400,000 army of Beifeng, including the original 200,000 in the border pass, 100,000 in the capital, and 100,000 in various places, now the capital is only 30,000 troops, not to mention the place, the West Barbarians are eyeing the tiger, and the East Ying has a comeback trend, and there is only the 200,000 army of General Chang left, but now that the Ten Kingdoms have just been defeated, it is still unstable, and the 200,000 army is withdrawn, everything before is in vain, Your Majesty, Nanchu really can't take the 200,000 army!" ”

"What the prime minister said is not good, under the nest, there are eggs? Now that Nanchu is in trouble, how can the people stay out of it? I decided to conscript. Emperor Jianwen said a little coldly.

Ning Cunzhi was shocked in his heart, and was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, the conscription has already been conscripted in the spring, and now there is really no man of the right age in the people's families." ”

Emperor Jianwen said lightly: "Then reduce the age of conscription, and you can go to the battlefield at the age of sixteen." ”

Ning Cunzhi's eyes widened when he heard this, full of disbelief.

To say that Ning Cunzhi was disappointed in Emperor Jianwen during these days, an emperor could be so absurd, and even easily bewitched by his mind, and today he was extremely disappointed. The original Emperor Jianwen was still a little worried about the country and the people, but now he has half a point, or Emperor Jianwen is such an Emperor Jianwen!

Ning Cunzhi is indeed selfish, but he studied hard for ten years, and once became the champion, he advised: "Your Majesty, you must not, isn't this just fishing with all your might?" ”

Emperor Jianwen's face sank, and he said with a very sharp expression: "Prime Minister, I am just informing you, and the Prime Minister only needs to do it." ”

Ning Cunzhi scolded in his heart, so Emperor Jianwen had already thought of the method, just waiting for him to take the blame for him, if he Ning Cunzhi dared to do this, the name of this traitor would not be removed for a lifetime, and he would even be completely rejected by the people! No wonder, no wonder, no wonder Emperor Jianwen has always been advertised as a benevolent monarch, but it turns out that all the "unkindness" has been blamed by others?

His face was extremely pale, and he said prostrately: "It is difficult for the minister to obey his fate." ”

Emperor Jianwen's face was ugly, and he shouted angrily: "Ning Cunzhi, you are so bold!" ”

Ning Cunzhi could only pretend to be a turtle with a shrunken head at this time, but he had made up his mind in his heart, no matter how angry Emperor Jianwen was, he must not deal with this matter in a daze.

All in all, he doesn't carry this pot!

Seeing that he was silent, Emperor Jianwen sneered: "Ning Cunzhi, don't forget who gave you your current position!" ”

Ning Cunzhi trembled and said: "Wechen is grateful to the emperor for ignoring the past suspicions and knowing the grace of the encounter, because of this, Wechen must not let the emperor do this, if it is a conscription, the people will definitely complain, Nanchu is the real danger!" ”

Ning Cunzhi looked like a loyal minister, Emperor Jianwen's face completely turned cold, and said coldly: "What I want is an obedient dog, not a loyal minister, since you don't want to be this prime minister, I will fulfill you!" ”

"Weichen, thank you Lord Longen!" Ning Cunzhi's heart was half sad and half happy, but he was very entangled.

"Ning Cunzhi!" Seeing his attitude, Emperor Jianwen completely went berserk.

Now I can't tell whether Emperor Jianwen is more important to Ning Cunzhi, or Ning Cunzhi is more important to Emperor Jianwen.

Ning Cunzhi made up his mind, didn't say a word, and didn't give in.

Seeing that he was silent, Emperor Jianwen still didn't understand anything in his heart, and suddenly sneered: "Okay, very good, Prime Minister Ning is now temperamental and bold!" Someone's coming...... The prime minister has no respect, and the prime minister will be put in prison, waiting for the fate! ”

"We're thanking you." Ning Cunzhi still didn't back down.

Then he was taken down.

Ning Cunzhi was thrown into the prison, which did not affect Emperor Jianwen's plan at all, and on the second day, the court directly put forward his own ideas, and asked the military department to start doing it, the military department was naturally unwilling, but Ning Cunzhi's living example was in front of him, so he had to choke. It is the advice of an official who has just entered the government for a few years, from the fall of the previous dynasty of Southern Chu, to the two hundred years of Southern Chu, and then to the first half of Emperor Jianwen's life, in short, I hope that Emperor Jianwen will consider it in the long run.

Emperor Jianwen couldn't see such a person the most, there was no way, and after others put forward their own ideas, they didn't agree with it, and immediately asked him to think of a better way.

Emperor Jianwen sneered and reprimanded: "If you have the slightest way, I will listen to you, but the truth is that there is nothing else to say about you!" ”

When the courtiers saw this, the atmosphere froze, and no one objected anymore.

However, the little speaker couldn't get off the stage after being scolded, so he was ruthless and said directly: "If the emperor insists on doing so, the minister can only die to comfort the emperor." After speaking, he directly hit the pillar in the main hall, and blood splattered on the spot, killing him instantly.

Emperor Jianwen's face was as ugly as eating a fly, and the ministers were also trembling, and no one dared to say a word.

But in the end, the matter was finalized.

As a result, a turbulent current was set off in Southern Chu, and the defenders from all over the country went directly out to arrest men over the age of 16 to join the army.

After more than a month, the 200,000 troops were barely gathered and sent to the border pass. At the same time, Emperor Jianwen's reputation was extremely poor, and even the people set off a trend of worshipping Jiang Ao. There is even a saying in the market: The only person who can retreat from Beifeng is Jiang Ao, the god of war.

When Emperor Jianwen heard about this, he was naturally furious, and directly let a few people take the lead and go to the prison. The effect was immediate, and it was really not so powerful, but it was true or false in private, and it was really hard to say.

During this time, Generalissimo Liu Kun tried his best to fight, and with an army of 400,000, he was lucky enough to defend under Feng Lin for two months. These two months have also been extremely difficult, but the prince still has to make trouble.

No, Liu Kun took advantage of the war to return from the inspection, and heard that the prince was attacking the camp with 5,000 people, his face suddenly turned black as ink, and he said angrily: "Didn't you say it? Whoever goes out of the camp must tell him. ”

His subordinates were also extremely aggrieved: "The prince has a noble status, how can he stop it?" ”

Liu Kun rubbed his hair irritably, frantically: "You won't come to tell Ben Shuai?" ”

"The marshal spared his life, the prince locked up his subordinates, and his subordinates just came out." The subordinates were full of grievances.

Liu Kun also knew that it was his own problem, and said impatiently: "Okay, Ben Shuai knows." Then he asked, "How long has Your Highness been gone?" ”

"Your Highness left in the evening." The subordinates are honest.

"What the hell is going on!" Liu Kun only felt that his head was about to explode, turned over his horse, and headed towards the city wall.
