In the blink of an eye, the sky will be bright.

Outside Mahon reported that it was time to go to the morning court.

Xiao Tian sighed, thinking of the chaos yesterday, his head was a little numb.

I don't know how Wang Xiang has arranged, and I don't know how the competition yesterday afternoon is, she still has to look at the roster of the appointment.

Many thoughts filled his mind, and Xiao Tian's consciousness was a little trance.

Ma Hong said again: "Prime Minister Wang Cheng got up in the morning to report, although it was a court meeting, but His Majesty was unwell, so he asked to play in the front hall of the council hall. His Majesty is in the inner hall, and the senior members above the second rank in the court are in the front hall, and the rest of the personnel are outside the hall. His Majesty asked His Majesty if it was feasible. If it was feasible, the prime minister led the ministers to the council hall. ”

The council hall is divided into the front hall and the back hall, and there is a small warm pavilion behind the hall where the emperor rests. Generally, the emperor's deliberations, if there are few people, will be carried out in the back hall, and the front hall is not as much as the Qinzheng Hall of the regular court.

Now, Xiao Tian slept all night in this small warm pavilion with the tranquil incense mixed with medicinal herbs.

Wang Xiang's arrangement did take into account the emperor's physical condition.

Xiao Tian nodded, "The prime minister is thoughtful, so let's do it." ”

Ma Hong responded, and quickly went to reply.

Xiao Tian asked Mingxiu again: "Do you have crutches, it seems that this chair can't sit on today." ”

Mingxiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really idle. There is really a crutch, and it was sent with the seat, and the slave maid still wanted to wait for His Majesty to get better before taking it out. ”

Xiao Tian shook his fingers, "Look at you, don't take the crutches first, but take the chair, and let me lie still." It's going to get moldy. ”

Mingxiu covered her mouth and turned her head to get the crutches.

After a while, the crutches came, and they were still on double crutches. made of wood, with carved patterns, this pattern ...... Something peculiar.

Xiao Tian took a closer look, and there were not flowers, plants, birds and beasts on the crutches, but a carved landscape connected by it, and a carved pavilion on it looked far away, but it was ...... Some of them have unconventional meanings.

Mingxiu said: "Your Majesty, even if you use crutches, you can't walk for too long." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mahon came in.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Wang Cheng has already led the ministers to the council hall, and it will be there in about a quarter of an hour."

Xiao Tian smiled and said, "After a while, I will use this crutch to move my hands and feet in the hall." ”

After a while, she went to see Mei Shu and them.

After a quarter of an hour, Wang Xiang and the others really arrived.

The officials above the second rank were all in the palace, including the first minister, the Privy Council, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the six departments and other officials, and there were about a dozen people standing down. Outside, there are more than 20 court officials who come to participate in the court meeting below the second grade and above the fifth grade.

After they bowed, they stood in four columns, and the king began the work.

It's very simple to say, and it is also the biggest theme of this court meeting - Taifu Fu Mingyi's situation and treatment plan.

Because Xiao Qian had already passed the anger with Wang Xiang yesterday, she felt that Wang Xiang should be more smooth presiding over the court meeting at this time.

But soon, Xiao Tian found that he was relieved too early.

In particular, there is a humanitarian: "The minister thinks that the exchange of hostages should not be delayed for too long." One Taifu exchanged for several of my Da Xiao Sect's relatives, and the north and south made a truce. ”

And then for a long time no one spoke.

Xiao Qian felt that this sign was not quite right.

Another said: "You can't say that." It's not like that. Taifu single-handedly took the saint and the courtiers away from the northern capital, and evaded the pursuers to escort the saint all the way to Nanhua City. Such a feat, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military can match. Now that the Northern Barbarians are treacherous and trying to force the Taifu to stay, how can we let it go? ”

"Even if Taifu has great merits, now that the Northern Barbarians don't let people go, do you want to make my Da Xiao clan relatives stay in the hands of the barbarians and suffer all the humiliation? In the long run, what will be the face of Da Xiao? ”

"Could it be that if you replace the Taifu, your face will be saved?"

"Is it better that one person can't come back, or is it better that a hundred people can't come back? The lesser of the two powers, there are always people who can't come back anyway, so why can't one person be exchanged for a hundred? ”

"What two powers harm each other, which is heavier, which is light, Taifu is the first emperor's hand-picked Son of Heaven master, can he rejuvenate the country and secure the country, can it be regarded as light?"

"Oh? According to what you say, can the safety of my Great Xiao Sect's subjects be regarded as light? You're slandering the royal family! ”

"Holy Mingjian, Weichen has no such intention. It's just that these two things are incomparable. Your Majesty, Taifu was in danger for my Da Xiao and almost died. The north is arrogant, first said to put back the hostages, and after breaking his promise, he said that he wanted Taifu to go in person, and now he has once again lost his trust in the world, such a style, if he is left alone, the south of Xiao Shui will not last long, Your Majesty! ”

This is a military general who fled all the way from the northern capital and Xiao Tian and others, he said that the old tears were all over here, and he fell to the ground to knock on the ground, "Your Majesty, the family of the old minister is in the northern capital, and the Northern Barbarian Iron Cavalry drove south, knocked on the North Pass, and ravaged the capital, Lord Wang Ming took less than 10,000 forbidden troops to stick to the palace, and the blood of these 10,000 people was sprinkled all over the walls of Yongxiao Palace, and the heads of 10,000 people were cut off by the Northern Barbarian thieves, tied to the back of the horse and galloped." Lord Wang Ming, Lord Wang Ming ......"

The veteran couldn't speak, whining and shaking his shoulders, describing his mourning.

There was silence in the hall and outside the hall for a long time.

The ministers who escaped from the Northern Imperial Palace all knew that in order to protect the Yongxiao Palace, in order to buy time for Fu Mingyi and others to save His Majesty, Wang Ming insisted on holding out until the last moment, and stood on the high walls of the imperial city without falling, shedding the last drop of blood, but his eyes looked at the south for a long time.

What they didn't know was that the Beiban did not respect Wang Ming's corpse, they rushed into the palace, destroyed the city walls, and pushed the martyred old general to the ground, raised his horse's hooves high, and laughed to step over his head and face.

Although in the end they were stopped by their third prince.

"Taifu went to the Northern Capital this time, not only to pick up the hostages, but also the heroic souls of 10,000 soldiers, as well as the bones of General Wang Ming." Another military general said in a deep voice.

Xiao Tian sometimes felt that his heart was quite hard.

She had heard these things on her way south. At that time, she only thought that she was a stranger, thinking that she would confess to Fu Mingyi that she was going to leave the palace as soon as she arrived in Nanding, so although she sympathized with them, she did not empathize.

Most likely, or when they are fictional characters.

But now, she felt her heart gripped by the silent muffled cry.

Wang Xiang was also silent at this time.

Other people don't say it, but Wang Ming is a member of his Wang family. Wang Ming is a hero, the soul of the Wang family is not allowed to return to his hometown, even if Wang Xiang has been immersed in officialdom for many years and has learned to be tactful and hidden, he will still be fluctuating and not at peace.

Thinking of this, he hesitated a little.

Xiao leaned on crutches and walked to the door, ready to push the door.

Mingxiu said softly: "Your Majesty." ”

Ma Hong was waiting outside the door, and when he heard the voice, he immediately turned around and said in a low voice, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”
