In the year 1259 of the virtual calendar, the Shuangde Dynasty was in the bright hall.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Jiang Yulong withdrew from the battlefield without permission, hindering the morale of our army, and should be punished according to the crime!"

"The old minister disagrees, General Jiang must have unspeakable hardships, and the minister feels that he still has to let the general go to the palace in person to reply. ”

For a while, there were different opinions in the council hall, some said to invite the general to come up, and some said that they directly pushed out the noon gate and beheaded them. The young man sitting above the crowd smiled playfully, touching a string of beads on his left wrist, not knowing what he was thinking. He didn't want to interrupt the discussion, and seemed bored.

After a while, a sharp and piercing voice echoed in the Zhengda Guangming Temple!

"Your Majesty, it's no good, General Jiang committed suicide. ”

Hearing this news, the whole house was silent, and the needle fell for a while...

Then followed by one after another sighs, some sighed, some sneered, some were silent, and the young man sitting on the throne secretly crushed a bead and turned into powder, but no one noticed.

At this time, the old minister, who was the first to speak, cleared his throat and said: " Your Majesty, this Jiang Yulong committed suicide in fear of sin, which can show that what the old minister said is true, and the battle of the Dongyue country, which must be greasy, our army has more than 200,000 dead and wounded soldiers, maybe this guy still asks for his life to fight, His Majesty loves talents, trusts him Jiang Yulong, and ordered to go out to fight 300,000 soldiers, in order to avenge our country's hatred, but it is him, it is he who escapes, on the way to retreat, he lost 150,000 soldiers in Shentuling, 150,000, Your Majesty, which is not the flesh and blood relatives raised by his mother's father, but he disappeared alive, I waited for interrogation, he was also fragmented, and he couldn't answer a word, and now he committed suicide in fear of sin, and asked His Majesty to call the shots, and even his nine clansto sue the spirit of my soldiers in heaven!"

The young emperor sitting on the throne was still silent, and he didn't have any expression, as if he was still hearing about what was going on.

"Bamboo shoots need to talk nonsense, ahem. The old man standing at the head of the east side of the main hall slowly got up with his cane and bowed his hand to the young majesty.

His Majesty waved his left hand lightly in a gesture of disapproval, while his right hand remained on his left wrist, as if hiding something.

Called Yan Zhu Pifu, the old man was not angry at all, touched his beard and asked, "Could it be that I have said something wrong?

The old man of Nangong used his crutches to chisel the jade bricks in the main hall three times in a row.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three crisp sounds, for a while, Yan Zhu was silent, and he was not as good as the villain's face, Rao is young majesty who was sitting on the top seat, and he still sat upright, but his right hand still did not put down.

"Yan Zhu Xiaoer, don't believe it, General Jiang's exploits to our Shuangde are obvious to everyone, at the age of fifteen he followed the first emperor to fight, at that time we were in the Changle Plain there were twenty-seven large and small feudal states, it took the first emperor and him thirty years to lay down our current Shuangde territory, but you say that he has a heart of treason?

Yan Zhu is also an old man with white temples and more than half a hundred years old, but he is said to be a child by Nangong, if ordinary people say this about him, Yan Zhu may be able to destroy his nine clans, but in front of him is not only the emperor of His Majesty today, but even half of the emperor's teacher, even if he is full of guts, there is no need to fight with him.

But if you don't mess with it, it doesn't mean that he really doesn't say a word.

"Mr. Nangong, don't entangle these old accounts with us, these colleagues present, but whoever stood in the first three rows, which one of them had never ridden a horse with the first emperor? Now that he Jiang Yulong has committed suicide in fear of crime, he has lost more than 300,000 soldiers in our country, and he will not mention the more than 200,000 people who lost the battle, they are also considered loyal to the country, you can tell me how to explain the 150,000 people who disappeared for no reason in Shentuling? Who can explain it? He Jiang Yulong died, and his forbidden guards were all strict-mouthed, and they couldn't reply a word when they asked ten questions, I really don't know whether those people are loyal to His Majesty or loyal to him Jiang Yulong!"

"You, you, you..." Nangong was speechless when Yan Zhu asked, but he couldn't speak anymore. Because he also knows that with the love of the first emperor and the reason of His Majesty today, it doesn't make sense, but if you kill him Nangong a hundred times, he doesn't believe that Jiang Yulong will rebel and will have two hearts. He has asked for an army of 300,000, with his position in the army, that is, to persuade 300,000 people to go to Dongyue with him, his old man believed it, but obviously not, but sharply ordered to retreat, but there was such a change, a full 150,000 people disappeared in broad daylight, even if he Nangong is an immortal, it is difficult to justify.

Yan Yan saw that Nangong Qi's face was flushed, but he couldn't say a word to refute himself, and he was suddenly a little happy, but they were all old foxes in officialdom for decades, so naturally he didn't show any of it, and he didn't mean to chase after him, after all, he didn't want to mess with this old man who was half-grounded.

At this time, the young majesty sitting on the top seat coughed lightly, and his right hand turned the flowing bead of his left hand, as if he had pinched something, and then the two hands separated.

He looked at the two old men, and then said with a warm smile: "Teacher Nangong and Yan Situ are both old ministers of the court and old friends, why bother to be so needle-to-heart, they are all discussing state affairs, but don't miss the friendship between the two." ”

Yan Yan hurriedly bowed down and said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true!"

Nangong stood back in his original position and kept silent.

The young majesty didn't care, but asked, "I don't know what is going on in Dongyue?"

Yan Yan was a little surprised when he heard His Majesty ask such a question, the big guy said about Jiang Yulong for so long, did he hear it?

At this time, an official standing on the side of the second row stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Dongyue Kingdom released a word, which basically means that the two countries are good at Qin and Jin, but your country suddenly invaded on a large scale, if it were not for the protection of the grassland gods, Dongyue would have been in a catastrophe, since your country does not pay attention to faithfulness, then blame them for being ruthless, if the king of Shuangde cannot give up on good conditions, then he must not give up at this time!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the main hall, and there were many discussions, all of which were how could he Dongyue Xiaoguo speak wildly, our Shuangde could not defeat them casually, how could we dare to put forward conditions, shouldn't we thank God for mercy and go back to be a man with his tail between his legs?

His Majesty cleared his throat again and said, "What countermeasures do you have for Aiqing? Is it war or peace? Can you negotiate a result?"

At this time, the mighty man standing at the head of the west stepped forward, this person was about the same age as Yan Zhu, but he was much more handsome, and the majesty between his eyebrows should not be underestimated. And only one step forward, it seems that a trace of cool air appeared in this hall.

This person said in a deep voice: "Minister Yang Kaihua thinks that the small country of Dongyue is not enough to worry about, so it is better to let the minister lead the troops to destroy them, and also avenge the dead soldiers such as us." ”

His Young Majesty seemed to nod his head in agreement, but was interrupted by the sound of Yan Zhu's words.

"General Yang, the old man knows your ability to lead the troops, and also knows your ability, and Jiang Yulong is called General Hualong, the old man doesn't praise or scold, but your old general's ability is at most Jiang Yulong's appearance, even if he is strong, it is also limited and pitiful, he Jiang Yulong lost more than 300,000 people in my dynasty, do you want to put all the soldiers and people of my dynasty into it? Huh?"

Yang Kaihua didn't get angry at all, but said slowly: "Then according to the words, Situ means that I will surrender without a fight? If it spreads in the future, our Shuangde still has the face to compete with other countries for resources, so how can we have the face to accept tribute from the subject countries?"

Yan Zhu sneered again and again, "General Yang, surrender without a fight? Hmph, you can really put gold on your face, we lost 300,000 people and told me that we surrendered without a fight? You have to understand that it is not that we are waiting for cowardice, but that we have already lost, if we continue to fight, my lives against all the people will not be enough to fill this blood debt, do you know?"

Hearing these words, the young majesty above the main hall did not have a talented indifferent expression, his eyes revealed a kind of essence that was difficult for outsiders to detect, staring at the bamboo shoots that were still talking below, and the beads of powder in the two fingers of his right hand also slowly flowed to his feet without anyone noticing.

Then he suppressed the emotion in his heart that had affected his thinking, regained his expression, and continued to listen to their argument.
