Chapter Twenty-Four: The Imperial Discussion of Chang'an City

"Zhijie, where's the captain?" Joy was written on the tired face of the white-clothed swordsman, "Zhaojun has woken up!" ”

"That's good! I said it was all right. The giant man put down the two battle axes he was waving, "The captain said not long ago that he was a little uncomfortable and went back to his room to rest, and he never came out. ”

"You really have a big heart, Sister Zhaojun's injury is so serious, you are the same as a muscular idiot!" Daji glared at the sweaty man, "But Sister Mulan should be tired too." ”

"Since the captain is still resting, then I'll arrange it." The white-clothed young man rubbed his head, "The Privy Council will temporarily add a member of our team until Zhaojun returns." ”

"Good evening, everyone on the Silver 6 team." A coquettish voice came from beside him.

"What!" The three of them were taken aback, and Cheng Yanjin hurriedly raised his battle shield to protect the helpless Daji, and Bai pulled out his sword and pointed straight at the shadows.

"Well, the reaction is not bad, but the detection and perception ability is weaker." Hundreds of colorful butterflies float in, and the colorful psychedelia makes people feel like they are in a dream.

The butterflies gathered and turned into a pink whirlwind.

"Wow!" Daji exclaimed, and before she could applaud, the butterflies turned into crystalline powder and mist and dissipated, standing in place when a green-haired young man, delicate eyebrows and eyes with a delicate and romantic figure, slender figure, it seems to have a charming fragrance, and there seems to be a butterfly flying between the demeanor.

"Wow......" Daji's saliva was about to flow.

"In the next week." The green-haired boy bowed slightly, "This is Ah Ke." Ke, come out quickly. ”

"Two heroes, long admired by the great name." The players of the Silver 6 team did not dare to hold it up, and hurriedly greeted the two.

"Is this the white prince who is famous in Chang'an City?" A glamorous woman dressed in red walked out of the shadows with a catwalk, and unlike her famous Assassin name, she herself was extremely beautiful and seductive, and her eyes were an extremely rare red, as enchanting as two gemstones. There was a tear mole in the corner of her left eye, and there was an indescribable temptation behind her gaze.

The thin red dress tightly wrapped Ah Ke's fair-skinned and tender body, half-covering and half-hiding her slender legs, seductive fragrant shoulders and crisp breasts. Shiro felt his throat dry and felt as if there was a fire burning in his chest.

"It's useless!" Daji pinched Shiro's back hard.

"I've seen the girl." Bai reacted quickly, put away his gaffe and saluted to the bewitching Ah Ke, "It's really a lot of peace of mind to be able to get Miss Ke's help." ”

Ah Ke nodded slightly with a smile in his eyes.

"We're going to rely on Childe to take care of it more in the future!" Zhuang Zhou's smile makes people feel as if they have entered a beautiful spring day.

"You guys?"

"Yes, we do." Zhuang Zhou and Ah Ke laughed together.

"Isn't the size of a squad limited to five? It only takes one person to replace Sister Zhaojun. Daji asked curiously.

"Could it be...... Hua Duwei ...... "Bai looked at the two of them in surprise.

"Exactly, the Privy Council has another important task for Captain Huadu. I'll read it to you. Zhuang Zhou took out a scroll from his arms.

"From now on, Zhuang Jiyi Zhou and Jing Du Wei Ke will be transferred to the sixth team of silver; Captain Mulan was suspended from the date of this decree and reported back to the Privy Council. Li Duwei Bai temporarily served as the commander of the sixth team of Baiyin, and served as the acting cavalry captain. The affairs of the team are jointly decided by Li, Zhuang and Jing. ”

"Not a few words, you see." Zhuang Zhou put away the scroll and handed it over.

"There's something wrong with that!" Cheng Yanjin shouted, and the thunderous sound frightened Ah Ke to cover his ears, "Captain Hua Du was not responsible for that battle, it was my lack of support that caused Zhaojun to be injured, and I should be punished!" ”

"No, it's all my problem, blame me!" Daji was also anxious: "We have to appeal to the Privy Council." ”

"Alright, alright." Zhuang Zhou waved his hand, "Suspension for investigation after losing the battle is within the purview of a commander at the rank of Cavalry Captain, and the Privy Council will collect evidence from you when conducting an investigation." Moreover, to complain before the conclusion of the Privy Council's investigation is indispensable for a hasty and reckless reprimand. ”

"And it will be counted in the file!" Ke blinked.

Bai silently walked to the window and thought for a while, then looked back at the four of them: "I'll go to the Privy Council and ask." But no matter what the situation is, welcome to the Silver 6 team, Zhuang Jiyi, Jing Duwei. ”

……

In the center of the new Chang'an City, stands the magnificent Forbidden City. This is the residence of the empress, and it is also the office address of the Council of the Eight Kings, the Privy Council, and the Shangshutang.

As soon as the first silver rays of morning light illuminated the towers of the Forbidden City, the king in red armor strode into the hall surrounded by guards and walked towards the court.

Every morning, the most powerful and powerful people in the world would gather in the center of this empire to discuss state affairs, and then when ordinary people woke up, they would be handed over to guide their day's work.

It had been dark a few minutes before, and the vast Chang'an Avenue was empty except for the courtiers when the king went to court.

Including the king, the third duke, and the nine kings, as well as their guards and retinue, they didn't even eat breakfast, so they hurriedly got out of the warm quilt, took the recitals and proposals, and rushed to the court against the biting cold wind at dawn.

But even so, all the important ministers and famous generals present were in good spirits, and there was no sign of sleepiness and hunger.

"Your Majesty!"

"Lord Zhongda!"

"Master Kong Ming!"

"Han Longtu!"

After the ministers greeted each other, the king of the red armor strode to his seat and sat down.

Above the court, except for the empress, only the eight kings have the right to sit down. The old and noble three princes do not have this honor, which is the prerogative of the king.

But this is not to say that the three princes are weaker than them.

After the courtiers arrived, the ruling three princes arrived at the scene.

They are Sikong Zhou Gong, Situ Yiyin, and Taiwei Huo Guang. This morning's scene was played by Huo Taiwei, everyone is used to calling him Huo Zhongtang on duty, he looked around at the silent court and nodded.

The chamberlain slowly walked out from behind the screen with the empress in her arms. This woman who reigns over the world has a beautiful posture and an attractive posture, and her towering bun is indescribably noble. The corners of her mouth could not tell whether she was happy or bored, only the prestige and demeanor that the superior had accumulated over the years.

The empress sat on the dragon chair, and Huo Guang began to read out today's proposal.

Not far from the empress, Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, was boldly looking at the empress's noble and seductive body, he was tall and heroic, handsome and outstanding, even if he was sitting, he exuded the convincing momentum of the superior, an aggressive look could make the girl smit, but it was of no use to the empress.

Xiang Yu really wanted to get this woman from the bottom of his heart, and letting such a noble and sexy body succumb to his body was really more fascinating than owning the world.

"This monkey ......" Liu Yu, the king of Song, found that the king of Chu was so disrespectful, and shook his head weakly, "The palace is out of order, wait for the imperial history to participate in you." ”

After listening to the report of a minister, Liu Bei, the king of Han, stood up in annoyance, thinking about the empress and the courtiers.

"Your Majesty, Ministers, for a year, the attack of the demon clan has been better than one day at a time. Last month, Tianshui fell, and our army suffered heavy losses. Coupled with the continuous fighting, although our army is slightly superior to the demon army on the surface, the loss of manpower and materials is extremely serious. A few days ago, the 12th Army Corps suffered heavy losses in the field, suffering more than 3,000 casualties. ”

"This ......"

"How to be a good ......"

The ministers whispered.

"The terrain in Longyou is complex, and our army is very vulnerable to ambushes, and it is difficult to transfer materials. In the long run, even if we are able to maintain the defensive line, it will be difficult for our manpower and national strength to sustain it. King Han looked around, "I propose to withdraw from the Longxi defense line, withdraw the Fengxiang garrison, and rely on the convenience of Weishui to build a fortress west of Chang'an City, so as to concentrate troops and reduce the consumption ......."

"Coward!"

"Surrender faction!"

Before King Han could finish speaking, several courtiers shouted.

"Withdraw from the Longxi defense line, withdraw the Fengxiang defenders, and the empire will lose hundreds of miles!"

"Chang'an City is facing the attack of the demon army, and the slightest mistake is a catastrophe!"

"Bold Liu Bei, is the land of the Tang Dynasty your straw sandals? Say send, send! ”

"Presumptuous!" This is too much, and before the courtiers of the Han Dynasty and his family can scold, the imperial history of the palace has already been angrily reprimanded. In the middle of the hall, a big man with a black face had already touched the saber at his waist, and if it weren't for the fact that the court was not allowed to carry weapons, he would have cut off the speaker's dog's head.

"Presumptuous!" Huo Zhongtang was also angry, "The court is not allowed to speak falsely, drag it down, and punish twenty court rods." ”

Several gold-armored guards strode forward and dragged down the courtiers who had just lost their temper.

"What do you think?" The empress just didn't see what happened just now, and glanced at the eight kings one by one.

King Han arched his hand, and what he had to say was finished.

"King Han's opinion is not unreasonable." Sima Zhongda, who was ranked in the ninth qing, glanced at one of his attendants, and the courtier immediately stood up and said loudly.

"There are thousands of ravines in Longxi, which is convenient for the demon army to hide its traces, and this time the Twelfth Legion suffered heavy losses in an ambush in the valley. In addition, the roads are difficult and dangerous, and the delivery of materials is often short. It's just that Longxi is the barrier of Chang'an, and the abolition of the defense line is only afraid of endangering the capital, and it will be difficult to recapture it in the future. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to recruit more troops and collect more materials to support Longxi. However, the Han king's construction of a fortress is indeed a way, the fierce battle in Longxi is becoming more and more difficult, in the final analysis, it is the lack of support points of our army, and the ministers please build nine cities such as Gangu to strengthen the defense of Longxi! ”

……

The courtiers were stunned for a few seconds.

"You Yuan Chonghuan will come out of the increased tax!"

"What the hell is the idea, the roads in Longxi are difficult and dangerous, and the transfer of materials is so difficult! Ten percent of the materials were delivered to the warriors, and less than three percent were delivered! The exhaustion of the people's power in the world is consumed by you like this. ”

"You built the city, you will defend it yourself!"

The courtiers were scolding again, the situation was too difficult, and many people had already begun to spray for spraying. Yushi shook his head, these ministers are really getting more and more presumptuous, and they have to be punished.

"I am willing to keep it!"

……

"What......" Yushi, who was brewing the wording, was taken aback.

"What did this guy Yuan Chonghuan just say? Doesn't he want to live? ”

A few days ago, Tianshui was lost, and the overseers sent from the court were killed, plus the repeated tug-of-war over the past year, five or six of the ten important ministers sent by the DPRK to the front line died of illness and death.

Yuan Chonghuan wants to defend the front-line fortress, and once the war is unfavorable, he can't escape.

"Is Aiqing sure?" The empress lightly opened her lips.

"I am willing to keep it!" Yuan Chonghuan knelt on his knees and said word by word, "The minister advocates strengthening the town of Longxi and recruiting heroes from all over the world to defend Longxi." The national strength of the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and although the demon army is powerful, it will never be able to consume the Tang Dynasty. With Jiancheng as the anvil and Haojie as the hammer, the demon army will definitely be able to shed all the blood in Longxi and protect the peace of the Middle Tang Dynasty! ”

……

"This dare is good!" The king of the red armor slowly walked out of the court, and looked at the three dukes and Yuan Chonghuan who had been left to discuss alone.

"Good for everyone."
