Chapter 167: Choice

Seeing that all the people were looking at him with expectant eyes, the old man groaned slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Naturally, we can't sit still, but until we figure out the emperor's thoughts, let's not move." Although the first strike is strong, the strength is not equal, and even if it is the first strike, it will not be very strong, but will cause trouble. ”

Hearing the old man say this, everyone nodded in agreement, and seemed to think that the old man was right.

After pondering for a long time, one of them said with some doubts: "Da Jin, how to do it this time?" ”

The old man nodded slowly, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Don't try to bring down Sun Chengzong, because that can't be done." At this time, he was able to do it, and this victory set him the ground. Sometimes, though, it's not a good thing for a person to be too capable. As he spoke, the old man smiled meaningfully.

Early in the morning of the second day, Emperor Yaoqi got up very late, looking at Empress Zhang with a smile on her face, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "I didn't do anything strange last night, did I?" Orb seems a little tired? As he spoke, he took Queen Zhang's hand.

Shaking her head gently, Empress Zhang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine only really knew Your Majesty yesterday, and Your Majesty is a good emperor." ”

Holding Empress Zhang in his arms, Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said, "It seems that I did something last night!" Didn't scare the orb, did you? ”

Slowly leaning her head on Emperor Yaoqi's arms, Empress Zhang whispered: "Being able to be with Your Majesty is a blessing that the concubine cultivated in her previous life." ”

Holding Empress Zhang tightly, Emperor Yaoqi sighed a little gloomily, and said slowly: "As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and the life in this palace is not easy. Tonight, I set up a table in the Qianqing Palace, you bring the two concubines too, let's have a reunion dinner. Taking advantage of this incident, I also want to explain it to the two of them, and as for Concubine Lan, don't bother. Concubine Lan's body is getting heavier and heavier, let her take good care of it! ”

Gently stroking Emperor Yaoqi's chest, Empress Zhang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry!" The concubine is not a jealous woman, but I just hope that Your Majesty will not snub the other sisters, and it is not easy for women in this palace to enter. ”

Stroking Empress Zhang's hair, Emperor Yaoqi didn't know if he should believe this sentence, he remembered that in the TV series of later generations, the women in the harem fought to the death. Although it is not as bloody as the battle on the battlefield. However, in front of the emperor, these women are all well-behaved and harmonious, and they can only pray silently in their hearts, hoping that Empress Zhang is telling the truth!

After having breakfast with Empress Zhang, Emperor Yaoqi went to Chengqian Palace again, looked at the pregnant Concubine Lan, and told her about the dinner, after which Emperor Yaoqi returned to Qianqing Palace.

Glancing at Chen Hong, who was standing beside him, Emperor Yaoqi asked, "Is there any urgent compromise in the cabinet?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no urgent excerpt, these are all congratulatory excerpts of officials in Beijing. It's just that the commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Sigong Luo Dajin ask to see the emperor, and he has been waiting outside for a while. Chen Hong bowed to Emperor Yaoqi and replied respectfully.

Slightly stunned, Emperor Yaoqi said in surprise: "He's here, let him in!" ”

After a short time, Luo Sigong walked in, bowed to Emperor Yaoqi, and said loudly: "Luo Sigong, the commander of the minister's brocade guard, see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Waving his hand, Emperor Yaoqi said lightly: "Get up!" What's the matter with Aiqing? ”

"Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guard of Shenyang City has news about this battle of Shenyang." Handing the fold to Chen Hong, Luo Sigong said loudly.

Raising his head in surprise, Emperor Yaoqi asked curiously, "Is it the battle of Shenyang City?" Although the report of the victory came, Sun Chengzong's report had not yet arrived, and I still did not know about the situation in Shenyang City. Since Jinyiwei has an excerpt, then Luo Aiqing will talk to me! ”

Bowing to Emperor Yaoqi, Luo Si said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this excerpt only talks about the Jinyiwei in this battle, and does not mention the overall battle situation. Therefore, the minister is not very clear about the situation of the battle of Shenyang. Saying this, Luo Sigong lowered his head slightly embarrassed. At this time, he scolded Laoshan and Dang Han in his heart, thinking that when they came back, he must teach them a good lesson.

Smiled at Luo Sigong, Emperor Yaoqi said lightly: "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, that's what I said, since that's the case, then tell me what you know!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to the report of the party Han Qianhu, this battle of Shenyang was well commanded by Inspector Sun. Liaodong Jinglu Xiong Tingbi also made a lot of efforts, and then he Shixian, the chief soldier of Shenyang, and You Shigong, the deputy chief soldier, risked their lives to fight to achieve such a victory. Luo Sigong shook his head gently, as if he enjoyed this feeling, and said slowly.

Seeing Luo Sigong's appearance, Emperor Yaoqi was angry and funny, and waved his hand to interrupt Luo Sigong's words, and Emperor Yaoqi smiled and said: "I know all this, say something I don't know." ”

Smiled a little embarrassedly, Luo Sigong saluted Emperor Yaoqi and said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty." According to the report of Dang Han Qianhu, in the battle of Shenyang this time, there were many detailed works, most of which were Mongolian, and they had basically been killed. There are also some families in Shenyang City, and some want to open the city gate and let the Jiannu outside in. Some collaborated with the enemy, smuggling grain and salt to Jiannu, and some also smuggled armor and weapons. ”

Luo Sigong stopped talking as he spoke, because Emperor Yaoqi's face was already ugly, and his whole face was calm. From Emperor Yaoqi's trembling hands and clenched fists, Luo Sigong knew that Emperor Yaoqi was very angry.

"Have these families been clarified?" Emperor Yaoqi's voice did not carry the slightest emotion, and the expression on his face calmed down, and he could not see the slightest abnormality. Only Chen Hong, who was standing behind Emperor Yaoqi, trembled violently and shook his head secretly at Luo Sigong. Chen Hong found that Emperor Yaoqi was touching the hilt of the sword, and the thumb of his right hand was constantly rubbing the hilt of the sword, very hard.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's all found out, and it's all on the fold." Although Luo Sigong saw Chen Hong's eyes, his expression remained unchanged at all, and he said respectfully.

Nodding slowly, he gently stepped off the dragon chair and came to Luo Sigong's side, and Emperor Yaoqi said lightly: "Is there anything involved?" ”

After a slight sigh, Luo Sigong nodded slowly, and then said in a deep voice: "Back to Your Majesty, there is." ”

After slowly walking around the main hall a few times, Emperor Yaoqi said indifferently: "Say, who is involved?" ”

Looking up at Emperor Yaoqi, Luo Sigong hesitated a little, and only said after a while: "Your Majesty, the specific involvement is not very clear, but I know that it involves the army, and many of them are generals in the Liaodong Army." Some of them also made meritorious contributions this time, and some of their families died in the war this time, so the party is also very difficult, and I hope Your Majesty can pay attention. ”

With a gentle wave of his hand, Emperor Yaoqi said weakly: "Luo Aiqing, you go back first!" Let me think about it, and when I really think about it, I will send it in to find you! ”

Bowing to Emperor Yaoqi, Luo Si bowed and retreated.

Slowly walked to the dragon chair, gently leaned his body on it, and said a little weakly: "Chen Hong, do you know? The last thing I want to see is that. The generals in the army fought bloody battles, stained the battlefield with blood, and some of their families actually collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. If all these families are arrested and all the nine clans are wiped out, how will I face those soldiers who died in battle? But if I don't, what should I do? ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you consult with the ministers! Maybe you can have a good idea. Chen Hong naturally wouldn't wrap himself in at this time, except for a note to Emperor Yaoqi.

Looking at Chen Hong, who had a serious face, Emperor Yaoqi pointed at him with a wry smile, and said with a smile: "Old slippery head, I know that those who enter will not pay much attention, and in the end I have to rely on me, and I still say so." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are just your Majesty's domestic slaves, this is a major event in the court, how can this slave interject? But when it comes to loyalty, this minister is the most faithful. Poured a cup of tea for Emperor Yaoqi, Chen Hong said flatteringly.

After taking a sip of tea, Emperor Yaoqi sighed deeply, and then said in a deep voice: "I am not afraid of any involvement, even if it is a great person, even if it is a hereditary noble, even if it is the prince of a vassal king, I am not afraid." I can solve it, and I can think of a way, but this involves those soldiers, and I don't know how to deal with it. ”

Putting the teacup on the table, Emperor Yaoqi sighed again and said slowly: "Killing them will easily chill the hearts of the soldiers, and it will also be easy for those who don't know why to guess." If I meet some people who have intentions, arrange some of them to kill the enemy, and the traitors of the court are in charge, and I am a dumb king, I will not be able to say clearly. Bi Jing has fought, made meritorious contributions, and contributed to the imperial court. But they are also guilty! It is indeed a traitor to the enemy, and such a thing is absolutely unforgivable and must be severely punished. This leaves me in a dilemma! I didn't get into it to give me an idea. ”

Looking at Emperor Yaoqi's sad appearance, Chen Hong also sighed softly, according to Emperor Yaoqi, this matter is really troublesome. However, after a deep sigh, Chen Hong asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not?" ”

Glancing at Chen Hong, Emperor Yaoqi smiled indifferently and said in a deep voice, "Why are you here again?" Something to say. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can ask the queen and Concubine Lan about this matter, maybe they have a good idea, Bi Jing and the two mothers have accompanied Your Majesty to deal with the twists and turns." Looking at Emperor Yaoqi with some apprehension, seeing that his expression remained unchanged, Chen Hong finished speaking.
