Next, the fighters in the south gradually became white-hot.

After Wang Yifeng took Ningzhou, he launched an attack on several surrounding states and counties, but fortunately, Jin Yantang had the foresight to send troops to protect these states and counties.

It's just that even so, the prefect officials on the back cover still couldn't help but report to Jin Yantang.

It stands to reason that the south should be a place where the army is not weak, but when the first emperor was in power, he did not train these soldiers very well.

Originally, all the brave soldiers were raised as waste.

Fortunately, in the past three years, Jin Yantang has reorganized the armies in various places, which is what it is today.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the early dynasty.

In the Jinluan Palace, the courtiers looked serious, and the atmosphere was very solemn, and no one dared to break the silence first.

Jin Yantang rubbed the jade wrench in his hand, and then slowly picked up a copy of the fold and said, "Who wrote this excerpt that made me abandon the book of the military department?" Why is it still anonymous? ”

No one at the bottom dared to answer, and they who had already lowered their heads lowered their heads at the moment.

At this moment, an official from the military general column walked out, looking at the color of his official uniform, it was about a third-grade official.

I saw him say: "Back to Your Majesty, protecting Ningzhou and the people of Ningzhou is the top priority, and the minister has also found out that it was the soldiers themselves who underestimated the enemy and fell into the hands of the enemy, which is simply a taboo for marching and fighting!" Let this kind of person be the secretary of the military department and distribute the army, I'm afraid I will ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Yantang gently put the fold back, and under the crown of hanging pearls and jade, his face looked obscure, and no one could see his face.

I only heard Jin Yantang say: "Now is not the time to hold the military department accountable, what I want is a solution, if no one can stabilize the situation for you, do you want me to take the imperial conquest in person?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers suddenly knelt down in an uproar, and each of them said in a sincere panic: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

It is not a trivial matter to drive the expedition in person, there are many countries around here that covet the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and each of them harbors evil intentions, if they know that Jin Yantang is not stationed in the capital, I am afraid it will be easy for the enemy to take advantage of the loophole.

Jin Yantang looked at the silent ministers below, none of them could help, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Alright, let's retreat."

Waving his hand at these people, Jin Yantang didn't want to waste any more time with them.

At this moment, a scout hurriedly ran in, clasped his hands into fists, knelt down on one knee and said, "Report!" Your Majesty, there is new news from Ningzhou, Wang Yifeng wants to slaughter Lord Wang and the people of Ningzhou, if you don't exchange Concubine Chen's life in three days, Ningzhou will become a dead city! ”

Use Concubine Chen's life to exchange for Ningzhou!

Hearing the news at first glance, Jin Yantang's eyes were slightly stunned, and he didn't react for a while.

In the court, the courtiers couldn't help but talk about it.

Probably all of them are talking about Wang Yifeng's boldness.

Jin Yantang sat back on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers below with a calm expression, and suddenly, everywhere he looked, everyone fell silent.

I only heard Jin Yantang ask: "What do you Aiqing think of this matter?" ”

A Wenchen hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is the only imperial concubine of my Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is also a symbol of status, how can you hand over Concubine Chen Niangniang to the Tatars?" "The only Chinese network

This Wenchen is good friends with Zuo Xiangfu, and knows that Shang Kelan is Zuo Xiang's favorite daughter, and now that Zuo Xiang is not there, he naturally wants to maintain Concubine Chen.

Besides, this Ningzhou is simply a place where there is no return!

But soon someone stood up to refute his words: "Lord Li, now is not the time to talk about whose life is more important, so many people and Lord Wang, should we all abandon it?" ”

Jin Yantang silently sat on the dragon chair and watched these people arguing, but his eyes became deeper and deeper, which was a precursor to his anger.

A bunch of useless things!

When these ministers reacted, they found that the dragon chair had long been empty, and Jin Yantang didn't know when he left.

Only Fu Qingxi was still standing by the dragon chair, only listening to him to these people: "Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty has just announced your retreat from the dynasty, please go back." ”

He was not to be seen by anyone.

For a while, all the courtiers, you look at me, I look at you, and there is a little shame on their faces.

Two days later, on the 10th day of the eighth month, Jin Yantang was worried about the government and became ill from hard work, and the news of his illness spread.

Within a moment, this matter spread throughout the capital, and even the harem fell into a state where everyone was terrified.

At the end of the day, when the concubines came to greet Shang Kelan, in the main hall of Xianya Palace, these women all had worried looks on their faces.

Shang Kelan looked calm, sat on the main seat, and said: "The news of Your Majesty's illness, please don't spread it with falsehood, my imperial doctor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is not a wasted person, presumably Your Majesty will be blessed with all the heavens, and he will be cured soon." ”

"During this time, I also hope that the sisters will not disturb Your Majesty's peace, let Your Majesty rest well, and those who violate the order will not blame the palace for not remembering the old feelings, and deal with it according to the palace rules!"

This is the first time that Shang Kelan has said such heavy words to everyone since she managed the harem, and for a while, the concubines and concubines were both a little overwhelmed and a little annoyed to stare at Concubine Chen.

One of Jieyu looked at Concubine Jia unwillingly, and said, "Concubine Jia, what do you mean by Concubine Chen's words?" The sisters here all care about Your Majesty, what's wrong with visiting Your Majesty? Why is Concubine Chen so domineering? ”

Since Concubine Chen was in charge of the harem, Concubine Jia rarely wore red clothes, and generally wore pink apricot-colored palace clothes or pale pink palace clothes.

At this moment, hearing what Jieyu said, Zhao Kehan's eyes moved slightly, and he said with an embarrassed expression: "Concubine Chen is also thinking about Your Majesty, Tang Jieyu, just bear with it." ”

When Tang Jieyu heard this, her pretty face showed unwillingness, but she didn't speak.

Everyone saw that Concubine Jia, who had always been able to fight with Concubine Chen, was silent at the moment, and guessed that His Majesty was probably really sick, and no one dared to talk back to Shang Kelan anymore.

It's just that after saying this, Shang Kelan smiled quietly and said to everyone: "From today on, this palace will go to the temple every day to burn incense and worship the Buddha, praying for the safety of Your Majesty, if there is any sister who is willing, she will go with the palace, presumably Your Majesty knows the hearts of the sisters, and has a good impression of everyone in his heart." ”

As soon as these words came out, the concubines present all showed a heartwarming look on their faces.

Being able to make a good impression in front of His Majesty and let His Majesty remember his name means that he will have the opportunity to sleep in the future.

What does it mean to have the opportunity to sleep? It shows that they are very likely to be favored by His Majesty, and then the bitterness comes!

All the concubines and concubines had Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, and they all respectfully greeted Shang Kelan on their faces: "Yes, Concubine Chen, concubines and others are willing to go with you!" ”

In this way, every move of the concubines is in her sight, and no one will harass His Majesty.

Shang Kelan's eyes flashed slightly, but her expression did not change.
