Jingshi, Forbidden City!

The Jinluan Palace, which was full of weather, was so quiet at the moment that it was silent.

Hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting quietly in the early court, and the splendid hall could not hide the suffocating atmosphere of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

The war in the north is dangerous, and the northeast pass is in danger, and today hundreds of officials gathered to discuss countermeasures.

With Gonggong Li's high-pitched and sharp "The emperor has arrived", all the NPC officials began to bow down.

Zhang He finally saw the young Son of Heaven again, the Son of Heaven's brows were locked tightly, and there were a few faint wrinkles on his forehead, obviously worried about the war in the northern country.

In fact, why shouldn't he worry? He and his Jinghualou team, the investment in this national war can be said to be exhausted, once he fails, he has no face to see everyone, and he can't play this dynasty anymore, and four years of hard work will be exhausted.

In his thoughts, the voice of Liu Fengcheng, the prime minister of the dynasty on the left, sounded: "According to the old minister, the situation in the Northeast Pass is critical, and our dynasty might as well send an envoy to send a gift to the Mongolian Khan to ask for peace, the four-nation alliance is the main force of the Mongolian army this time, if the Mongolian army retreats, the armies of the other three countries will also be dispersed, so that the crisis in the Northeast Pass can be resolved." ”

"This is a must-have!" The voice of opposition is the imperial envoy of the left capital, Fan Linzheng, with his official rank and identity can not be compared with the prime minister, but he is the clear stream of the dynasty and is deeply valued by the Son of Heaven, so he opposes others and can only listen, "The Mongolian Tartars will not die in my heart, and this is the critical juncture of the confrontation between the two heroes. Once the Northeast Pass is lost, the three provinces of Liaodong will be in danger, and the foreign barbarians will directly endanger the key places in Beijing, and the morale will be lost at that time, and the great rivers and mountains of our Central Plains will fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials in the hall talked about it, but the face of the Son of Heaven was even more impatient, because these were not good strategies, but big quarrels. This was not the result he wanted.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to lead 50,000 troops and go north from Cangzhou to support the Northeast Pass!" It was Li Quanying, the general of Cangzhou, who asked for his life.

The county lord arched his hand and said: "General Li has good intentions in the palace, but even if General Li leads the army to come, it will be useless, first, the journey is too long, the time is too late, the distant water cannot extinguish the near fire, and secondly, the Northeast Pass has been surrounded by layers." Not a large number of troops will necessarily solve the problem,"

……

For a while, there were many quarrels in the Jinluan Palace, and Gonggong Li suddenly waved the dust: "Retreat from the dynasty--"

The Son of Heaven had already gotten up and left, and when Gonggong Li, who was following behind, turned to leave, he glanced at Zhang He intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang He naturally understood and was not in a hurry to leave the hall.

Until the hundred officials dispersed. Zhang Hecai, under the leadership of the Ouchi Imperial Forest Army, once again came to the imperial study in the back garden.

The young Son of Heaven was not in the study at the moment, but was feeding the fish outside by the pavilion, and the goldfish in the pool were competing to devour the bait.

Zhang He stood quietly and looked at it, but did not speak.

He is also a very measured and timing-minded person, and after a long time. It wasn't until Gonggong Li and a group of guards retreated that the Son of Heaven stopped his movements, and a person seemed to be muttering to himself: "If you retreat from the Northeast Pass, the next stop will be Daqingcheng." ”

If the Son of Heaven is silent, it is enough, and as soon as he speaks, it is amazing.

Zhang He was shocked on the spot, he didn't expect the Son of Heaven to think so deeply. Think so clearly.

In fact, in the hearts of Zhang He, the county lord, and Zhong Shuman, they had already counted that if Lin Li, the three-eyed county, suffered a defeat, and the Northeast Pass would definitely not be able to be saved, because it was impossible to have support troops at this time, even if there was a supply of grain and grass, the pressure would increase, and the retreat would be accelerated.

At present, although the left envoy of Guangming has poached 100,000 troops of the coalition army, the main force of the coalition army as a whole of more than 200,000 troops and nearly 300,000 troops still exists, if the coalition army launches a general offensive on the 10th day or so, that is, on the 15th day of the first lunar month. It will be the time when the grain and grass of the Northeast Pass are not available, and it will be an unprecedentedly bloody and tragic battle, even though the defenders of the Northeast Pass rely on natural hazards, but the chances of victory are not great. …,

If you want to preserve the main force of the 200,000 army, you must retreat.

With this retreat, the war in the northern country will produce countless possibilities, and the risks will be great to the limit.

It's just that this news is very terrible, and in order to avoid shaking the morale of the army, everyone is tight-lipped.

Although the Son of Heaven is in the Great Inner Forbidden City, he can see it at a glance, and with this, Zhang He has to obey.

In the fourth year of the dynasty, he rolled on the rivers and lakes, and indeed saw all kinds of ghost tricks, but after all, he had not experienced the war himself.

War is different from conspiracy, conspiracy requires wisdom and courage to break it, but war requires strategic vision and overall thinking, and after the defeat of the Three Eyes County, Zhang He still learned this.

Zhang He arched his hand and said: "I still underestimated the other party's ...... in the battle of Three Eyes County."

The Son of Heaven immediately interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "It's not your fault. ”

Zhang He said: "Oh? ”

The Son of Heaven said: "The transport troops are divided into two ways, this is what I mean, the purpose is to be afraid of accidents." ”

Zhang He secretly admired that the Son of Heaven was cautious and thoughtful.

The Son of Heaven sighed: "I didn't expect that there was an accident, this is really unbelievable, so I summoned you here today to tell you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang He vaguely felt that something big was going to happen.

The Son of Heaven showed a strange look on his face: "Very few people know about General Wencheng's escort of grain and grass, and his transport troops are also very fast and hidden, in order to avoid people's eyes, he has only more than 1,000 people in the army this time, and there are even fewer people who know his transportation route." ”

Zhang He reacted immediately, since it was so hidden, why did the coalition army know very clearly when the transport troops would arrive in Three Eyes County? So as to make a precise and vicious sneak attack? This proves that the coalition forces were informed in advance.

There is only one explanation for this, there is a traitor in the imperial court, and the news is really shocking, shocking and terrifying.

Zhang He said: "Who are the people who know the route?" ”

The Son of Heaven said slowly: "The people who know this transportation route, in addition to me, there are two others, one is Liu Fengcheng, and the other is Fan Linzheng. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhang He remembered that the two people in the early dynasty had different opinions, and the truth seemed to be obvious, it was unlikely that Fan Lin, the imperial envoy of the left capital, was a traitor, but the suspicion of Liu Fengcheng, the prime minister of the dynasty, was quite large.

The Son of Heaven said: "Fan Lin is upright and upright, and is deeply respected by the people, but Liu Fengcheng is different, this person is sleek and treacherous, the city is deep, these two people restrain each other and balance each other on the government and the opposition, this is not the first time that the government and the opposition have competed against each other." ”

Zhang He said: "So, how could Your Majesty let Liu Fengcheng be a human rights prime minister?" ”

The Son of Heaven sighed: "This is not my will, Liu Fengcheng is a remnant of the war with the first emperor, the patriarch only has one fruit left for him, if he is not the prime minister, how can I serve the public?" How can you win the hearts of the people of the world? When the first emperor died, he entrusted him to assist me ......"

Zhang He said coldly: "I'm afraid he didn't really assist, right?" ”

The Son of Heaven said: "Our dynasty pays attention to cultural governance, and Liu Fengcheng is indeed a good minister of a generation when governing the country and Anbang, but he has always opposed force, and he has always been opposed to the war in the northern country. ”

Zhang He groaned and said, "I'm afraid that there is something else hidden in this." ”

The Son of Heaven sighed again: "I really can't figure it out, he is the prime minister of my dynasty, the power of the world, and at the same time the elder of the two dynasties, why do you want to fornicate with foreign enemies and form a party for personal gain?" As everyone knows, the loss of the Three Eyes County will cause great harm to my country. ”

Zhang He finally understands now, the Son of Heaven summoned him today for the purpose of investigating this matter.

But if you stay in Beijing, what should you do about the war ahead? …,

The Son of Heaven said lightly: "You don't need to worry about the battle in Northeast Pass, even if our army retreats into Daqingcheng, the coalition army may not be able to invade the three provinces of Liaodong." ”

Zhang He didn't speak, he couldn't figure out why the Son of Heaven was so confident? Could it be that the Son of Heaven already has a plan?

The struggle between the court and the government and the opposition is not a dispute between the people on the rivers and lakes, because it is not just a matter of grievances, but a political and power intrigue, which is the most complicated, the most headache, and the most heart-wrenching.

But Zhang He did not refuse, because he had already come to this point, he could not turn back, and if the internal worries were not resolved, the external troubles would only get bigger and bigger.

The coalition army is terrible, but the harm of the traitor is far more terrible than the army of hundreds of thousands.

The Son of Heaven sighed again: "After all, Liu Fengcheng is a veteran of the two dynasties, and it is not convenient for the Criminal Department and Da Nei to make moves, I think about it, only Aiqing you are the most suitable candidate, after all, you are born in the rivers and lakes, and it can be seen that the opportunity to act ......"

Zhang He was secretly frightened, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, the Son of Heaven obviously had murderous intentions towards the prime minister of the dynasty, but as a royal emperor, he could not come forward, and it was inconvenient for the six doors of Xingbu to come forward, after all, the impact was too great and bad, so it was handed over to Zhang He to deal with, and the truth must be ascertained and the internal trouble solved.

The so-called acting at the opportune point is to kill Liu Fengcheng immediately if he finds that something is wrong.

Zhang He still knows this, but once an NPC in the dynasty is killed by a player, the punishment for the player is very heavy, such as a direct black name, for example, directly wanted by the Criminal Department, and for example, temporarily sealed two or three layers of realm...... The sequelae were even more serious than the 18th Company Battalion's massacre.

But these are not the key points, the key is that after getting rid of the hidden worries within the imperial court, how can the pressure and crisis of the Northeast Pass be lifted? There seems to be no connection between the two, but Zhang He faintly feels that there is a mysterious connection between the two, and what is this point of contact?

The Son of Heaven seemed to have seen through Zhang He's thoughts, and suddenly smiled: "Aiqing can let it go, don't worry about the war in Northeast Pass!" ”

Zhang He nodded and strode out. (To be continued)
