Chapter 17: Negotiation and Compromise (1)
Chen Xuanyuan trembled again today, Yangcheng was lost, General Li Hu couldn't hold it, so he could only retreat again, Chen Xuanyuan didn't know if he would retreat to the capital of Dachen soon. Looking at the group of ministers kneeling down and trembling, the anger in his heart couldn't be extinguished.
Originally, if you appease Datang, and then get the Su family, you can sit back and wait for Da Chen to return to the glory of the past, how do you know that if you haven't done the Su family, Datang is already about to hit the door, Datang is like a broken foot, how long can Da Chen last? Chen Xuanyuan hesitated for the first time in his heart, was it wrong to bring down the Su family by himself? Is it wrong to disagree with Su Jingming's main battle?
Chen Xuanyuan looked at the table in front of him with flickering eyes, and suddenly hesitated, not knowing what to do next, thinking that he ascended the throne at the age of sixteen, has been reigning for four years, and has been working hard to restore Da Chen's poverty and weakness, but the sky does not follow people's wishes, and he has not completed this feat until now, he can't let Da Chen's century-old foundation be ruined in his own hands, so I, Chen Xuanyuan, will be the sinner of Da Chen, sorry for the ancestors of the Chen family, and will also become the object of spurning by the entire Da Chen people. Chen Xuanyuan's gaze suddenly became firm, and he turned his head to look at His Highness's minister again
"Where is the king of the military department?"
"The Minister"
"I sent you to assist General Li Hu in ordering 150,000 troops to set off from Linyang to resist the Tang army, and set off immediately."
"No"
"Where is Tobe Langzhong?"
"The Minister"
"I order you to temporarily act as the head of the household, sort out the treasury, prepare grain and grass, and assist the secretary of the military department to go to the front line to resist the Tang army, and prepare immediately."
"No"
"Where is Deputy Commander Lin Huang?"
"The Minister"
"I ordered you to take 50,000 forbidden troops to guard the imperial city and report the safety of my imperial capital, is it feasible?"
"The ministers obey the order, and they will live up to the emperor's trust, the ministers are in the city, and the ministers are dead in the city."
"Where is the Book of Rites?"
"The Minister"
"Prepare to sacrifice to the sky immediately, and the day after tomorrow I want to - the royal drive to conquer"
"Your Majesty, by all means"
"Your Majesty, by all means"
·······
As soon as Chen Xuanyuan's words came out, the hall suddenly became a pot of porridge, and the ministers excitedly dissuaded him.
"Your Majesty, this must not be, Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, the Son of Heaven of the people of the world, in the imperial city to order the world immediately, why do you need to drive the royal expedition in person" Chen Zijian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, advised
Chen Xuanyuan looked at the dissuaded Da Chen below with a gloomy face, and he stood up after the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said this
"I'm staying in the Imperial City? Stay in the Imperial City and watch how you waste make Da Chen die! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, no one took the initiative to resist the Tang army, took the money from the treasury to eat, drink and have fun, a bunch of rice buckets waste"
"I have made up my mind, I will prepare to sacrifice to the sky immediately, and set off the day after tomorrow, is there anything else to say? My lovers"
After Chen Xuanyuan said these words, the hall was quiet, and everyone lowered their heads in shame.
Chen Xuanyuan looked at the silent ministers and said
"A group of rice buckets" brushed their sleeves away after speaking, leaving behind the ministers who supported their foreheads.
Chen Xuanyuan walked to the Yangxin Pavilion and found that Concubine Shu was waiting outside the palace, Chen Xuanyuan had a special feeling for this Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu was a bit like her in terms of personality, she gave people a well-behaved and sensible side, very gentle, and often went to Zizhu Hall when she had just had a quarrel with Su Jin, so Chen Xuanyuan treated Tang Xiu well.
"Why did Concubine Shu come, come, and I entered the house"
"No"
Chen Xuanyuan took Tang Xiu into the Heart Pavilion, Chen Xuanyuan sat on the soft couch, took the tea prepared by Wang De, looked at Tang Xiu who was kneeling behind him and rubbed his shoulders and said, "Concubine Shu is here today, what is the matter?"
"Your Majesty, what can the concubine do, the concubine is seeing that Your Majesty is busy these days, and wants to rub Your Majesty's shoulders and relieve your fatigue" Tang Xiu said a little coquettishly
"Hahaha, my mouth is so sweet, I don't know you yet, let's talk, what's the matter" Chen Xuanyuan hugged Tang Xiu behind him
"Your Majesty is so smart, you can't hide anything from Your Majesty," Tang Xiujiao said angrily
"Say, what's the matter" Chen Xuanyuan let go of Tang Xiu and said
Tang Xiu got up from Chen Xuanyuan, knelt in front of Chen Xuanyuan, looked at Chen Xuanyuan, Chen Xuanyuan looked at Tang Xiu like this, and said with some doubts, "Shufei, what are you doing here?"
Tang Xiu didn't answer, knelt on the ground, looked at Chen Xuanyuan, and slowly took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter entrusted to me by Sister Concubine Jing, Sister Concubine Jing knows that she is guilty of sin, and she can't meet Your Majesty in person, so let the concubine transfer it on her behalf, I hope Your Majesty will not blame her."
Chen Xuanyuan listened to what Tang Xiu said, his eyes flickered a little, so that people didn't know what he was thinking. Chen Xuanyuan looked at the letter handed by Tang Xiu, was silent for a long time, and then took the letter in Tang Xiu's hand.
"Get up, I know, you go back first, I still have some things to deal with" Chen Xuanyuan said to Tang Xiu
Tang Xiu looked at Chen Xuanyuan, who had a calm look in his eyes, wanted to say something but didn't say anything, and then lowered his head and said
"The concubine retires"
Chen Xuanyuan looked at Tang Xiu's shadow walking out of the Heart Cultivation Pavilion, and unconsciously remembered her again, raised his hand to open the letter in his hand. didn't look at it for a while, suddenly, Chen Xuanyuan's face changed greatly, as if he was a little shocked, he sat on the soft couch in a daze, as if he was stupid, and said loudly after a long time
"Wang De, drive the Jingyi Palace, fast, fast"
"Nuo" Wang De was also a little surprised, he had never seen the emperor in such a state.
