Chapter 140: Madness
The day passed quickly, Xia Zhan was chained to the city tower and fell, his clothes were beaten to tatters, and the whole person was a lot older.
Duan Yu stood not far from the city wall and looked at Xia Zhan who was hanging on it and sighed deeply, it really distressed, the old man's lips were cracked, and he couldn't last a few days like this.
He didn't come up with any good ideas after thinking about it last night, but he thought that if Lord Nalan went in person, he might be able to save the old man's life, but all he could think of was that Lord Nalan had already thought of it.
He must not let Lord Nalan do this, if he chooses between Xia Zhan and Nalan Lingyu, he will definitely choose Nalan Lingyu without hesitation, after all, he is the backbone of everyone.
The city wall looked calm and calm as before, in fact, Baili Mingyu had already sent people to lurk around, as long as Nalan Lingyu appeared or the rescuer arrived, it would inevitably be shot into a hornet's nest.
Baili Mingyu now hates Nalan Lingyu to the core, and the battle ahead thought that there would be a change, after all, he had already sent the strongest troops to attack, but he didn't expect the news to come but he was defeated and retreated.
The government and the opposition are now in chaos, and all the ministers have no intention of working, fearing that the rebels will attack at any time, and everyone's head will be in danger.
"Zhong Aiqing, what plan do you have for the soldiers on the front line to drive now?"
Baili Mingyu sat on the dragon chair and said loudly, there was no sound below, I am afraid that a needle can be heard if it falls now.
The atmosphere of the entire hall was gloomy, the most capable people in their entire government and the opposition were hung on the city wall, the most strategicistic people were searched and arrested throughout the whole process, and the new generation of generals were defeated and retreated on the front line, what else could they do about this group of civilian officials.
"Speak! Now that I and the country need you, why don't you speak! Aren't there a lot of opinions in normal times? ”
What they want to do when they are ministers are usually either stopped by this Shangshu Jinjian or by the Shangshu, and now let them make suggestions, one by one, like a turtle with a shrunken head.
"You guys have to come up with a strategy for each of you now! Otherwise, no one would want to leave today! Whoever comes up first will go first! ”
Baili Mingyu snorted angrily and dropped his sleeves and left, this group of wrecks and wastes, could it be that he would not be able to live without Nalan Lingyu.
As soon as Baili Mingyu left, it was fried into a pot of porridge, and everyone expressed their dissatisfaction.
"What do I mean by saying this, the emperor, I know that we are all civil officials, and the books we read are all dealing with court affairs, where can I think of a war."
"That's right, what can we think of as a civil servant."
"It turned out that it was all an idea that Lord Nalan came up with, and now that Lord Nalan has escaped, aren't we here waiting for death?"
"He just fled, so he didn't surrender to the rebels, and if Lord Nalan joined the other party's camp, then we probably had only a dead end."
"Shh
After complaining, the group of people began to think deeply with sad faces, what kind of solution is this like?
Minutes and seconds passed, and no one came up with a good solution, and everyone was anxiously turning in circles in place.
At this time, a person spoke: "You said that if the emperor drove the expedition in person, would it greatly encourage the courage of the soldiers to fight?" ”
"Yes, this is a good solution, it can indeed boost morale."
Before anyone could chimed in, a different point of view came out.
"The emperor is personally driving the expedition, so who will sit in Kyoto, besides, the situation ahead is unclear now, what if there is a danger to his life if he goes?"
"That's right, what should I do if this doesn't work?"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence for a while, and if you can think of a feasible way, you still need to stand here for a long time.
Baili Mingyu originally wanted to go to the front line to see what the situation was, obviously there were his own henchmen among the people he sent out, but why did he always feel that the situation on the front line was not quite right.
It is absolutely impossible to say that his henchmen betrayed him, because this person was cultivated by him, and the current battle situation in front of him is really wrong, could it be that he didn't see anything unusual?
The man who sent it never returned, he sent all his troops to the front, and if something happened to the front, then he was all finished.
I can't think of a good solution behind this, and dragging it out will only make things worse, and now I can only see if I can lead Xia Tingxin or Nalan Lingyu first, so that things will take a turn for the better.
"Have you figured out a way?" It was time for lunch, and Baili Mingyu really couldn't eat it, so he could only come back and see what they hoped that someone among them could come up with.
"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor......"
"Don't hooray! It's good that I'm not angry with you now, let's talk about whether I have come up with any good solutions! ”
Baili Mingyu waved his hand impatiently to stop them from asking for peace, what else would they do besides asking for peace! Can't you say something useful?
Quiet, and deathly silence, Baili Mingyu never found that his courtiers still had such a point, and even the sound of breathing was almost inaudible.
"Yang Shangshu, you say!"
Yang Shangshu, who was named, shuddered for a moment, he was a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he usually deducted things about etiquette, so it was not difficult for him to think about how to fight.
"Minister... Minister..."
Yang Shangshu's hands were trembling when he stood up and bowed, he really didn't have any way, let him say anything.
"If you want to say it, you can say it, why haven't I seen you talk and stutter!"
Baili Mingyu was directly furious, usually he picks and chooses, he can't get used to this, he can't get used to that, and now he can't think of a way, what a waste!
"The emperor forgives the sin! The minister really hasn't made any achievements in tactics, and he really can't think of it. ”
Even if he was asked to die here, he couldn't think of it, he really hadn't touched this kind of thing, he didn't have a clue at all, and the war ahead had always been a big defeat, and he couldn't play the raging tide with his strength alone, and he was dead both horizontally and vertically, so it was better not to say it directly.
"Rubbish! Demotion to one level will be punished for one year! Get out of here! Baili Mingyu looked at this person who didn't know whether he was alive or dead and wanted to cut him, but the reality did not allow him to do this, and if he did this, Chaogang would be in chaos.
"Thank you for your kindness! Thank you, Your Majesty! Yang Shangshu was grateful to Dade for kowtowing, she thought that she would be beheaded, it turned out that he was punished and demoted, it didn't matter, he was willing to be punished and demoted now, so that if the rebels really attacked, they wouldn't notice him as a petty official.
"You said Li Shilang!"
Li Shilang was also scared enough, why did the emperor remember to call his name, she is obviously a petty official, and there are people who are bigger than him.
"Back to the emperor, the minister really can't think of it, the minister is willing to punish him for two years and demote him to two levels, and ask the emperor for mercy!"
"You! Get out of here! I don't think you need to be this official directly! Fuck me off now! ”
Baili Mingyu angrily got down from the dragon chair and kicked out Li Shilang who was kneeling on the ground, bastard, he will do the same soon, it's really too much!
Li Shilang was kicked to the door, and the lungs of this kick were about to come out, but he endured the pain and got up directly from the ground and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Ask the emperor for mercy, the old minister doesn't want to, he really can't think of it, besides, the old minister really doesn't know how to calm the emperor's anger, so he asked to resign."
"Fuck off! Get out of here, all of you! Don't let me see you! Baili Mingyu expelled the people in the hall as if he was crazy, and the ministers rushed out in a swarm of fright.
It's terrible, is the emperor going crazy, let's run quickly, what if the emperor goes crazy and kills them all?
When Baili Mingyu, who was empty above the main hall, sat on the ground with his buttocks, he suddenly felt a very powerless feeling enveloping him, and he was unprecedentedly tired.
"Your Majesty, good news, good news!" Gao Yida came in from outside and began to shout, and finally there was good news for the emperor and everyone to take a breath.
"Didn't Gao Yida teach you not to shout in front of me! Do you hate that your head is too tight around your neck! ”
Baili Mingyu sat on the ground and looked up at Gao Yida suddenly, his eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, and Gao Yida was so frightened that he fell to the ground in a trembling way.
accidentally knocked his front teeth, and he didn't dare to make a sound with his aching teeth, so he could only cover his mouth and say aggrievedly: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the news came that the traces of Nalan Lingyu's traitor were found at the south city gate." ”
"What! Why didn't you say it earlier! Catch no! ”
Baili Mingyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and when he mentioned Nalan Lingyu, his hatred burned in his body, and this Nalan Lingyu grabbed him and must peel his skin.
"Not yet, but this man is too cunning for our people to catch him!"
"Someone! Transfer all the people from the West City Gate to the South City Gate and go all out to capture Nalan Lingyu, you must catch it alive! ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey!"
In this way, Baili Mingyu transferred all the people guarding Xia Zhan out when he was delirious and hateful, which gave Nalan Lingyu a great opportunity.
Nalan Lingyu, I see where you can escape now, if you catch you, I want you to look good!
Nalan Lingyu thought about it at home for a long time, he heard from others that Xia Zhan was about to be unable to hold on, he didn't get a drop of water for two days, and he was still injured, and he was afraid that even if he didn't die, he would leave the root of the disease, so he simply didn't wait.
He came up with a way to attack the west, so that he could get Xia Zhan out, but he shouldn't be able to escape, as soon as he appeared, Baili Mingyu would inevitably concentrate the whole force on himself, and he didn't think about escaping again if he came up with this way.
No matter what, she has to rescue Xia Zhan, she doesn't want to be sad for anyone, Baili Mingyu will not necessarily kill him, because of this person and his selfishness, he will definitely wait until the end to see how he ravages the person he cares about the most before he can be regarded as angry.
