Chapter 6: War

Sotama Palace: Underground secret room

In fact, on the night that Ye Nan stayed in the Jade Palace, the shadow organization had already begun to excavate the tunnel. This tunnel crosses the Gongqing Palace's mansion from the East Palace to the backyard of Chunlin Building in Wan'an Street, which is lined with shops, Chunlin Building is one of the best restaurants in Wan'an Street, and the actual person in charge behind the scenes is Dai Ying, the second-in-command in the shadow department, and Dai Yingming is the housekeeper brought by Ye Nan from the Southern Tang Dynasty, even if he blatantly enters and exits Chunlin Building, no one suspects. This place is definitely not hidden, but maybe Chunlin Tower is too famous, and the relationship is too unbelievable, and the spy organization Night Owl of Yun Country is not suspicious for the time being.

"Minister, first-class shadow guard of the shadow department, Lu Qian, see His Royal Highness the Prince." An elegant young man bowed to Ye Nan.

"Lu Shilang, please get up, I asked you to come here today to explain important things, no need to be polite." Although Ye Nan was polite, he sat at the table and didn't support him, with a cold look on his face, which was very different from the courtesy and politeness he treated the minister during the day.

"Although the prince commands, he has an order, and he will not give up." Lu Qian still knelt on the ground, without any anger, and his expression became more and more respectful.

Of course, this is not that Lu Qian is mild-mannered, in fact, Lu Qian is known for his outspokenness in the court, and has openly contradicted the emperor many times, and admonished him to death, and is recognized as a loyal minister inside and outside the court. It's just because since Lu Qian's grandfather Lu Yuanming, the Lu family has always been a chess piece planted by the shadow department in the cloud country, and it can be regarded as the most hidden and highest-status chess piece planted by the shadow department in the cloud country over the years. Therefore, Lu Qian had no choice but to be loyal to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"I understand everything in the court today, but I'm afraid that Ye Yunlan will not give up so easily, and he must enter the palace to persuade again, if Ye Yunshu's heart is not firm, I am afraid that he will have to change his mind. So I want you to offer a good plan to stabilize the Ye father and son. Ye Nan ignored Lu Qian and said.

"With all due respect to his subordinates, Ye Yunshu may be easy to believe, but Ye Yunlan is thoughtful and resourceful, and I am afraid it is not easy to deceive." Lu Qian paused again.

"Hmph, this strategy makes Yun Guo fifty percent sure that he can defeat Chu State, even if Ye Yunlan is suspicious, I am afraid that he will be tempted." Ye Nan sneered.

"Yes, yes, the son of the world has a superior plan, and it is beyond the comprehension of his subordinates." Lu Qian said with trepidation.

The secret conversation didn't end until the ugly hour, and Lu Qian hurriedly got up to say goodbye and left.

"Uncle Dai" Ye Nan stared at Lu Qian in the distance, and shouted softly after the footsteps gradually became inaudible. Under the shadow of the light, Dai Ying's figure slowly appeared.

"Has Ye Ying arrived?" Ye Nan asked.

"I will be able to arrive in Ping'an City early tomorrow morning, and I will arrange for the young master to meet her as soon as possible." Dai Ying bowed.

At this time, in front of the Xuanhua Gate of the Imperial Palace, the sound of rattling horses' hooves sounded, and the mentally exhausted defenders immediately became alert.

"Someone, stop, the palace is forbidden, it is forbidden to let horses gallop." The defenders yelled.

"I'm Lu Qian, I have something important to see Your Majesty, even if I use Wenzhong, I must see Your Majesty." Lu Qian also yelled.

Ministers are not allowed to see the emperor late at night, unless there is urgent military affairs, and even then, the night audience must be deliberated by the cabinet of scholars on duty that night, unless the country is in danger, the minister must see the emperor, and the minister can ring the bell to alarm the entire Forbidden City, so that the emperor has to meet immediately.

The Emperor hurriedly walked out of the inner account, his clothes not yet neatly arranged. Speaking of which, Ye Yunshu can be regarded as a diligent and enlightened monarch, and he has always attached great importance to the opinions of his subordinates, and it is rare to insist on going his own way during the day.

"Lu Qingchun came to see him at night, what is the so-called matter?" Although the emperor tried his best to restrain himself, he still could not hide the displeasure in his tone.

"The minister has a plan, which can ensure that my country has at least a fifty percent chance of winning a war with the Chu State, so I have to meet Your Majesty immediately." Lu Qian knelt down, and his tone was much tougher than when he faced Ye Nan.

"Oh? Aiqing, please speak. Ye Yunshu was quite surprised, all the ministers advised him during the day was to ask him to think twice and not to march, could it be that there were people who advocated war and had a plan to reverse the situation.

"After the ministers dispersed the dynasty, they finally got a good plan for half a day, and they were afraid that Your Majesty's heart to enter the war was not strong, so they made this decision, hoping that Your Majesty will forgive your sins."

"The Qing family can rest assured, as long as the Qing family's plan is feasible, I will send troops to punish the Jiang family's traitors."

"The troops of the state of Chu have been assembled, the soldiers are in Xiongguan but a matter of ten years, and our troops are scattered, if you want to mobilize the soldiers will inevitably be tired, the enemy will wait for work, our army will be at a disadvantage, the minister thinks, the key to this victory lies in the initiative in whose hands, so our country can not transfer troops to guard the pass, it is better to directly mobilize troops from South Korea, Zheng Weiguo to take the road, directly to the capital of Chu, if Chu sends troops to intercept, our army to wait for work, with the defenders of Xiongguan, before and after the attack, will win, if Chu insists on going its own way, go all out to enter Xiongguan, I Xiongguan 30,000 defenders, are all elite soldiers, at least for a month, within a month, our army can calmly attack, then it will inevitably win, or directly to Yingdu, with Xiongguan for Yingdu, Chu soldiers have become a lone army, Chu State will destroy the country, just around the corner. Lu Qian's calm and resolute voice said slowly, and a clear picture of war seemed to unfold slowly, as if the hand of the god of war had swept across the clouds and abroad.

"Okay, Lu Qing's plan deserves 100,000 male soldiers, if the result of this battle is as Qing expected, I am willing to get a marquis to commend the heart of loyal ministers." Ye Yunshu's eyes flashed with the frenzy of war, and at that moment he seemed to realize the mood of his father, Emperor Wu, when he swept through the Eight Desolations. The Son of Heaven is angry, ambushes millions of corpses, sheds thousands of miles of blood, and the whole world feels like a dog, yes, that's what a generation of emperors should do.

"Ministers don't dare to ask for extravagance, but they want our country to prosper and prosper for generations." Lu Qian's voice remained unchanged, steady and firm.

In the summer of the tenth year of Emperor Yuncheng, it was recorded in the history books that "Qian Yu entered the palace at night, entered the enemy's good strategy, the emperor was happy, and they talked very happily." But there is no record in the history books why the ministers who were fiercely opposed the day before were silent the next day, why Ye Yunlan, who is known as a generation of heroes in history, did not stop him again, and people in later generations have not understood why the monarchs and ministers in the troubled times are so crazy, fighting half of the danger of defeat to fight a battle, that is the unique spirit in the troubled times, people in the troubled times, perhaps, can not be regarded as people.
