Yuan Chongshang said impatiently: "What did you say? Don't mother-in-law. ”

The division commander could only reply: "They said that this time the officers and soldiers lost, and the lives of those officers and soldiers were ...... It's all at the hands of adults. He thought that as soon as he said this, Yuan Chongshang would be furious, and he didn't dare to look up at Yuan Chongshang, but he didn't hear the scolding for a long time, so he raised his head slightly, but he saw Yuan Chongshang's ugly expression, but he didn't say a word.

"How is Fang Shihao?" After a long time, Yuan Chongshang asked, "Did he also die in battle?" ”

"Unfortunately, the Fang Commander is still alive." The master hurriedly said: "He came back to the shore from the water, and he had a breath left, fortunately, he was still alive, but he had severe frostbite all over his body, and he had been brought back to the city and was being treated by a doctor." ”

Yuan Chongshang sighed: "It's good to be alive." This time it was not his fault, it was the Doge's fault...... Master, you are a scholar, and Bendu asked you to do something for Bendu. ”

"Your Excellency, please command."

"You help Ben Governor draw up a petition for guilt." Yuan Chongshang's expression was gloomy, "Explain this matter to the Holy Lord, and all the guilt will be borne by this governor alone......!" He waved his hand and said, "You go first, and send the guilty fold over quickly, and the governor will send someone to the capital as soon as possible." ”

The master was surprised: "My lord, this ...... How can this be done? Now that Anyi is in danger, how can your lord ask the court for guilt? If the court is angry, your lordship ...... Consequence......! He looked very frightened, he was Yuan Chongshang's hand up, belonging to Yuan Chongshang's cronies, if Yuan Chongshang really submitted the petition to the court, no one knew what the result would be.

The master is the person around Yuan Chongshang, and he naturally knows very well that His Majesty the Emperor today has been quite capricious, and in recent years, many courtiers have suddenly fallen from power, but if they have the slightest disobedience to the emperor, they may be destroyed by the emperor.

Yuan Chongshang is indeed a courtier trusted by the emperor, but it is only a monarch and a minister, the battle of Yusuo Lake, the Praetorian Guard can be called the annihilation of the whole army, and most of the elite divisions of Anyi will be buried in one battle, which is a great shame for Yuan Chongshang or for the imperial court, and the bad impact caused by this battle is enough to make Anyi's government in trouble.

If this excerpt is presented, the emperor will be furious, and he will not issue a decree to Yuan Chongsheng's head, even if he saves his life, it is inevitable to dismiss the official and remove him.

The master knows very well that he can thrive in the household department because of Yuan Chongshang's trust, but once Yuan Chongshang falls, as Yuan Chongshang's cronies, his career will be over.

Yuan Chongshang sneered: "Do you think that Bendu is afraid of death? ”

The master immediately said: "The lower officials don't dare." He didn't take the order immediately, but went over and closed the door first, and then he came close and knelt on the ground, "My lord, the lower officials have the courage to speak, please consider the millions of Li people in Anyi!" ”

Yuan Chongshang frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Adults know better than anyone else that today's Anyi is turbulent, and there will be great turmoil at any time." The master said solemnly: "Although this battle was lost, only adults can control the situation in Anyi now. The adult has been in Anyi for many years, and he knows the situation of Anyi best, and he lost this time, but as long as he plans in detail, he will be able to defeat the Huang family rebellion next time, and he will be ashamed of himself, if the adult pleads guilty, if the court really punishes the adult, then the loss of the adult's Anyi will definitely fall into greater turmoil, even if the imperial court sends someone to deal with it, in the face of the complex situation in Anyi, there will never be anyone more suitable than the adult. ”

Yuan Chongshang said: "So what? Since the governor failed in his decision, he naturally had to truthfully report to the court. Thousands of lives were buried in Yusuo Lake because of Ben Du, and the court was going to cut off Ben Du's head, and Ben Du had nothing to say. ”

The master said, "Don't you want to take revenge on this deep hatred?" Seeing that Yuan Chongshang's face twitched, the master slowly got up, approached the past, and said in a deep voice: "Once the court knows that the adult has lost, there is a good chance that the adult will punish the adult, so how will the adult take revenge for this arrow?" Adults are heroes and heroes, as the saying goes, there is no revenge and no gentleman, thousands of brothers who died in Yusuo Lake, those are all the descendants of adults, adults saw that they were killed by the Huang family's chaotic party, and did not want to avenge them with their own hands? ”

Yuan Chongshang clenched his fists, the muscles on his face twitched, he groaned slightly, and finally said, "How can such a big thing be covered?" I'm afraid that the defeat of Yusuo Lake has spread throughout Anyi, right? ”

Seeing that Yuan Chongshang's tone was relaxed, the master said softly: "My lord, the results of the battle in Yusuo Lake naturally cannot be hidden, but few people know who caused this defeat. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

The division director said: "My lord, everyone has only seen that it is Fang Commander who leads the troops to fight, and the war affairs of Yusuo Lake have always been handed over to Fang Commander, and Fang Commander, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard and the military commander of the Huang Family's chaotic party this time, is naturally qualified to send troops to quell the chaos." ”

Yuan Chongshang stared at the master of the division, and the master saw that Yuan Chongshang was expressionless, so he continued: "The lord did not order a surprise attack in public, and he didn't even have any warrant to be handed over to the ...... of Fang Commander!" ”

Yuan Chongshang understood, frowned, and said, "You want to say that you will throw all the responsibility to Fang Tong?" ”

The division director lowered his voice and said: "The lord led the crowd to inspect, and in order to invite merit and reward, the Fang commander transferred troops to attack Yusuo Lake without authorization, resulting in the defeat of the army...... This is not an unexplained reason for this loss. ”

Yuan Chongshang sneered: "Fang Tong has followed this governor for many years, are you ready to let this governor ignore his faith and hand over the disaster to Fang Tong's head?" You must know that if the Governor takes the responsibility and the Holy Father remembers the old feelings, he may not really order me to be killed, but if the responsibility is placed on the Fang Commander, the Commander will definitely die...... And there is one thing you don't know, this time the military order was issued, and the governor told Qin Cha Chu Huan afterwards that he knew that this military order was issued by the governor, and he was a person sent by the Holy Qin, if the responsibility was put on Fang Tong, if Chu Huan told the Holy Lord the truth, it would be a crime of bullying the king! ”

The master shook his head and said, "My lord, Chu Huan is a good Qincha, but compared to adults, the saint's feelings for adults may not be as good as Chu Huan." Although the lord told Chu Huan that the military order was issued by the adult, but he did not have any evidence in his hand, and the lord issued the order for the raid this time, without any warrant, and no one had the evidence that the adult directly gave the order......! He leaned over closer, and said in a low voice: "My lord, in the past few days, Chu Huan has been dealing with confiscation affairs with his subordinates in the Department of Households, and has been in contact with many businessmen, and he has received all the gifts given to him by ...... merchants!" ”

Yuan Chongshang frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Chu Huan looks inconspicuous and very low-key, but ...... It does not seem to be exclusive to gold and silver. The master chuckled and said: "A person is afraid that he has no preferences, as long as he has preferences, everything is much easier, as long as the lord gives the order, Chu Huan will be sent by the lower officials." ”

Yuan Chongshang pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "The Holy Lord is very kind to the Governor, the Emperor's grace is mighty, and the Governor ...... How can this governor deceive the king? ”

"The lord is not a bully, if the lord really wants to be loyal to the saint, he should stay in Anyi and get rid of the Huang family's chaotic party." The master said solemnly: "Once the adults leave Anyi, Anyi will definitely be in chaos, now the northwest is unstable, the southeast is in chaos, if Anyi is in chaos again, the original hinterland will also be in chaos, this is by no means a fortunate thing for the empire." ”

Yuan Chongshang leaned back in the chair, picked up the teacup, was silent for a while, and was about to drink tea, only to find that the cup was empty, put down the teacup, and asked: "Fang Tongzhi is loyal to this governor, this governor ...... How could the Governor bear to let him bear such a responsibility for the Governor......! He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "That's it, Master, you just didn't hear what you said, and you should go and ask for the guilt for the governor!" ”

The master fell to his knees and sobbed: "My lord, if you want to achieve great things, you must always make sacrifices, Xia Guan thought, if you can really ensure the safety of your lord, there will be no objections to the Fang system!" ”

Yuan Chongshang was silent for a while, and did not speak, and at this moment, he suddenly heard someone outside the door say: "Master, Lord Qin Chachu asks to see!" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Chongshang's body shook, "Hurry up and invite him in!" ”

Master Shi had already gotten up and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency can probe Chu Huan's tone now...... The safety of Anyi, and even the safety of the empire, is all related to the adult, and the adult must not hesitate in the slightest! ”

Yuan Chongshang didn't speak, and soon, the footsteps sounded, and before anyone arrived, the voice came first: "Lord Governor, you can wake up, this is good, this is good......!" The master had already stepped forward to open the door, Chu Huan strode in from the outside, and after entering the door, he immediately bowed his hand to Yuan Chongshang and said, "I want to come and see if the Governor is awake, my lord is safe and sound, this is great!" ”

Yuan Chongshang stood up and arched his hand: "Let Lord Chu worry, please sit down, please sit down!" Waiting for Chu Huan to sit down, Yuan Chongshang made a look and motioned for the master to leave in advance, and after the master said goodbye, Yuan Chongshang smiled bitterly: "Lord Chu, this governor ...... Ben Du is really ashamed to see you, this time my elite Praetorian Guard is almost completely wiped out...... Ay......! He sighed, his expression gloomy.

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "Your Excellency the Governor doesn't need to be discouraged, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, it's just ...... Chu said bluntly that before the adults sent out the troops, they did not inform Chu, and Chu thought it was a little inappropriate. ”

Yuan Chongshang waved his hand and said, "This is the governor being too cautious...... That's it, Lord Chu, what is the situation on the other side of Yusuo Lake now? ”

"As soon as the Governor is unconscious, I will send someone back." Chu Huan said: "The Huang family's rebellious party captured some soldiers, and hundreds of people escaped death, but ...... Most of them have been buried in Yusuo Lake, and after the Huang family retreated, our side sent ships to collect the corpses, and some of them have not yet died, but only a handful. Fortunately, Fang Tongzhi escaped death, which is an unfortunate luck. ”

Yuan Chongshang bowed slightly, and Chu Huan said again: "The head of the military department is now presiding over military affairs on the side of Yusuo Lake, and the shipbuilding matter is still continuing. ”

Yuan Chongshang said: "Lord Chu has arranged it properly. ”

Chu Huan looked at Yuan Chongshang, the smile on his face had disappeared, and said solemnly: "Lord Governor, there is one matter that is a top priority, so I have come to discuss it with my lord!" ”

"What is Lord Chu talking about?"

"Your Excellency the Governor's night attack this time without warning." Chu Huan said slowly: "Chu wants to find out why the Huang family prepared so well in advance, and how did they know that the Governor was going to attack the Yusuo Lake at night......!" "With a grim expression," Chu wanted to know, who would be behind the leak of such a major military aircraft? ”
