In the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, on the throne of Jinluan, Emperor Xuan's face looked like a curtain of night, making it impossible to guess what was hidden inside.

The courtiers didn't dare to come out one by one with their heads drooping, for fear that they would be affected by the people on the dragon chair if they were a little careless, after all, they heard that he had broken several agate cups today, so it could be seen that he was very angry.

"What do you think of this invasion of the North Warehouse Kingdom?"

The emperor's dull voice was like thunder, which made the hearts of the courtiers tense instantly, as if they were choked by something, and some of them were breathless.

One breath and two breaths, the emperor's fingers knocking on the dragon chair have begun to gradually speed up, but there is still no sound, the huge court hall is like a tomb at this time, the only thing heard is the sound of the emperor's fingers, and the sound is like the sound of wooden nails into the coffin, which makes people dare not look at it easily.

"Why don't you usually see Aiqing so reserved?"

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty raised his eyes slightly, and his tone couldn't help but bring a little threat, a few important ministers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the military department Shangshu stood up: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that after the Beicang Kingdom captures the five cities in a row, it should be rectified for a while, and we can take this opportunity to build fortifications." ”

"Where is the Ministry of Works?"

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty also knew that it was impossible to counterattack, and at this time he could only temporarily block people with the help of fortifications.

"Although this is feasible, we can't send so many skilled craftsmen to support it in a short period of time."

The Ministry of Industry is usually the least valued among the six departments, and now when the matter comes, it is obviously not feasible to want to use people from other Ministry of Industry as pawns. Killing the enemy on this battlefield is a matter within the soldiers' department, can the money over the years be used to feed the dogs?

Listening to the prevarication in his words, Emperor Xuan's eyes instantly sharpened, but knowing that the first emperor had not ordered the Ministry of Industry to recruit skilled craftsmen over the years, the swelling flame was finally extinguished again.

"Is there any egg under the nest? Aiqing are also well-educated people, they don't understand this truth, today I will put the cruel words here, if you dare to retreat at this stall, then you will not be spared. ”

He could make their daughters and heirs retreat, but that didn't mean they should be turtles with shrunken heads.

"Pei Aiqing, how do you think this battle should be fought?"

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty finally set his eyes on Pei Guogong, and this mansion famous for its use of soldiers must have their heritage.

"What is Your Majesty's determination?"

Pei Guogong did not say how to attack this battle, but asked Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, which made half of the people in the court stunned, and they all looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he can't keep it, so how should the emperor choose? If they want to say that this so-called temporary victory or defeat cannot determine anything at all, the most important thing is to preserve strength, but the emperor doesn't think so in his heart.

Emperor Xuan of Ming narrowed his eyes, and only after a long time did he say: "The king died in Sheji, and the soldiers died in the land, if it was not until the last moment, I didn't want such a thing to happen." I know that the Aiqing must want to move the capital and make a comeback in the future, but do you still remember the homeland of the capital? ”

He snorted lightly: "Thirty years ago, we lost the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty and set up camp in the capital of Beidu. I didn't have such an idea when I left, but the result was - retreat and retreat. ”

The most important thing is that the Beicang State occupied not only the land of the Great Zhou, but also affected the concept of the Great Zhou people.

What does the retreat of thirty years ago mean when Big Monday was devastated by the retreat of 30 years ago? The bloody nature of the Zhou people has dissipated step by step in the retreat. He doesn't know if he can hold it, and even if he can't, what if he can't?

He can even use his own death to awaken the lost blood of this nation.

"Aiqing asks me about my determination, so I can tell everyone today, and even the whole world—I will fight to the death."

He looked at Pei Guogong with a pair of burning eyes, and Pei Guogong's heart trembled slightly, and the corners of his eyes twitched in disbelief.

When the emperor said this, the ministers were in an uproar, and their eyes were a little stunned staring at Emperor Ming Xuan on the dragon chair, they didn't expect the emperor's determination to be so great, you must know that the iron cavalry of the Beicang Kingdom can be said to be invincible, and the attack is just around the corner.

- However, he seems to have made up his mind in this heart.

"If Your Majesty has such a decision, then even if Wei Chen and the others throw their heads and spill blood, they will try their best to block the iron cavalry of Beicang Kingdom."

Pei Guogong lowered his eyes slightly, and sighed again: "Although the first emperor has been committed to cultivating generals over the years, compared to Beicang State, a country that is good at fighting, we started much later after all. ”

Hearing him sigh like this, the emperor straightened up from his chair, stepped down the steps step by step to look at Pei Guogong, and offered a slight gesture with his hand: "I don't know if Uncle Pei has a good plan?" ”

"Your Majesty, never."

Pei Guogong saw that he dared to accept this salute, and was busy about to kneel, but was helped up by Emperor Ming Xuan: "I know that it is difficult for my uncle, but now the world is already full of holes, and I can't turn the tide with my own strength, I need everyone's concerted efforts." ”

"The old minister will go back today to draw up a countermeasure, and then he can discuss the feasibility with all the ministers."

"That's what I mean." After he finished speaking, he looked at the courtier next to him. "It's not just Pei Guogong who wants to draw up such an excerpt, but everyone who stands in this court must draw up a countermeasure. Since you have a thin skin and don't want to present it in front of the court, then present it in the form of an excerpt! ”

"No."

The emperor will talk about this, and it was not only Pei Guogong who was slightly persecuted just now, but also persecuted them! Their emperor's mind and ability may not be much weaker than that of King Chen of Beicang Kingdom, but it is a pity that the first emperor left him a mess.

After returning to the imperial study, Emperor Xuan of Ming suddenly collapsed on the dragon chair, pinched his scalp with both hands, and finally said to the inner supervisor who was accompanying him: "Grind, I want to personally write a holy decree, and you will stand under the city wall at noon tomorrow and announce it to the world." ”

"No."

This inner eunuch is the chief eunuch in the palace, and he is also the attendant who has followed the East Palace for the longest time and is the most trusted by him.

At noon the next day, the news of a decree spread among the people who came and went, the people, the soldiers, and even the merchants who walked...... There is only one sentence left in my mind: "I will fight to the death." ”
