The news spread back to the capital, and the important ministers led by Tao Shuo went straight to the palace and asked to face the saint.

At this time, Emperor Yong'an was still speechless, and Zhou Shan naturally stepped forward to stop him.

Tao Shuo was angry and asked sharply: "Father-in-law Zhou, now that it's time to burn your eyebrows, you still push back and don't let me wait to see the emperor, what kind of heart do you have?" ”

Zhou Shan smiled bitterly: "Master Tao, it's not that our family deliberately blocked it, the emperor really has a poor dragon body and needs to recuperate——"

"Don't use this reason to perfunctory us again, we must see the emperor today!" Tao Shuo sneered and took a step forward, "Gonggong Zhou, if you stop again, I can only suspect that you control the emperor and intend to make trouble!" ”

Zhou Shan's face changed greatly: "Master Tao, you can't talk nonsense!" ”

"Nonsense? Throughout history, it is not without precedent for eunuchs to bring disaster to the country! Tao Shuo said unceremoniously.

Zhou Shan trembled with anger, saw anger and contempt on the faces of those important ministers, struggled for a moment and asked with a calm face: "Your lords must see the emperor?" ”

"Yes, if we don't see the emperor today, we will wait here." Everyone said in unison.

"That's fine." Zhou Shan sighed heavily, "Since you adults insist, then our family should not be this wicked person." ”

He glanced at Tao Shuo deeply: "Master Tao, you can choose a few adults to go with our family to see the emperor." ”

Tao Shuo's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and he called names: "Fang Shangshu, Du Shangshu, Zhao Shangshu, Lord Xing, let's go to see the emperor together." ”

As Zhou Shan walked inward, the more depressed the atmosphere became, and the smell of medicine penetrated into his nose.

An ominous premonition came to my heart, and people unconsciously relaxed their steps.

Zhou Shan motioned to the chamberlain to lift the curtain and said softly: "Your Majesty, Lord Tao, they have come to greet you." ”

Unable to hear a response, the few people waiting outside the screen exchanged glances, and their hearts became more and more uneasy.

Zhou Shan turned back, glanced at a few people, and said solemnly: "A few adults, let's go in and have a look." ”

Tao Shuo hesitated for a moment and took the lead in walking forward.

The others silently followed.

Turning the screen, I saw Emperor Yong'an lying on the bed.

At that moment, several people were shocked, and they couldn't believe their eyes at all: the emperor, who had always been majestic, had dull eyes, and the corners of his mouth were crooked, just like before.

"Your Majesty!" Tao Shuo rushed over with arrows, kneeling on the edge of the bed and calling for Emperor Yong'an.

Emperor Yong'an was awake, but he couldn't speak, his expression became more and more distorted in a hurry, and an uncomfortable snort sounded in his throat.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Emperor Yong'an's reaction was becoming more and more terrifying, Zhou Shan hurriedly reminded: "A few adults, don't disturb the emperor, the emperor really needs to recuperate!" ”

This time, Tao Shuo no longer insisted, saluted Emperor Yong'an, and silently withdrew.

Zhou Shan walked out, looked at several ministers, and said softly: "A few adults have seen it, the emperor can't stand the slightest disturbance now......

"How could the emperor-"

Zhou Shan's expression was sad: "The emperor was frightened and fell into a coma that day, and when he woke up again, he became like this." ”

Tao Shuo and the others looked at each other, and their mood was dazed and heavy for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Fang Shangshu asked: "Lord Tao, now that the King of Kaiyang, Luo Chi, and Lei Ming are uniting to approach the capital, the emperor is ...... What should we do? ”

Tao Shuo fell silent.

Internal and external troubles, the country has no prince, and they are afraid that they will become ministers of the country.

"That's it, when the rebels come, I'll do my best, it's just a death." Tao Shuo gritted his teeth and said.

As soon as such frustrating words came out, several people were silent.

Zhao Shangshu, who had been silent, stroked his beard and regretted it: If he knew this, why should he save private money to go to a wine shop to eat, he should have emptied the small treasury of Hedong Lion at home.

"Lord Zhao—"

"Huh?" Zhao Shangshu suddenly came back to his senses.

Tao Shuo looked at the old Shangshu of the same dynasty for decades, and his face was complicated: "Lord Zhao has a good relationship with Luo Chi, maybe you can try to persuade him...... Now no one can endanger the safety of his daughter, and if he is lost, he can still sit in the position of commander of Jinlinwei......"

Zhao Shangshu smiled bitterly: "Then I'll try." ”

What are you daydreaming about?

But at this point, you can only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

The civil and military officials were panicked, and finally the day of the army coming to the city came.

Tao Shuo led his ministers to stand on the city wall, looking at the boundless army and the banner that covered the sky and the sun, and felt dizzy.

Before the two sides could talk, some officials couldn't bear the pressure and broke down and cried: "It's over, it's over, there can be no hopeful ......"

No one scolded the weeping officials.

Seeing this scene with my own eyes, I realized that the luck in my heart was so ridiculous.

"Master Tao, let's open the city gate—"

This proposal was immediately scolded by Tao Shuo: "Bastard, are you ready to be infamous through the ages?" ”

The official hid his face and cried: "It's not that the lower officials are afraid of death, it's the innocent people in the city!" ”

Tao Shuo froze for a moment, then turned to look into the city.

All the people who got the news rushed to the city, and like the army outside the city, there was no end in sight.

Tao Shuo took a deep breath and bowed his hand to the people who looked up: "It's my incompetence, and I tired you villagers and elders to bear the difficulty of breaking the city——"

Before he could finish speaking, the rotten leaves flew over.

Many in the crowd shouted, "Shut up! ”

"Go down, whoever has to bear the difficulty of breaking the city, you will not open the city gates!"

"That's right, open the city gate and let the Chaoyang Army in, will the Chaoyang Army still raise its knife against our little people?"

Shoufu Tao Shuo, who had rotten vegetable leaves on his head, was at a loss: Are these people crazy?

Confusion comes anger.
