"The bereaved people are guarding overseas and occupying the golden waterway, and now it has become a climate, if you don't send troops to encircle and suppress it as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles in the future!"

"Sending troops? Lord Chen said lightly, this summer's severe drought, food shortage in various places, the national treasury cannot make ends meet, and there is a shortage of grain and grass supply personnel and ships, so it is not easy to use troops overseas! ”

"The drought is a small disaster, and the bereaved people are a big problem, Wei Ge Lao must distinguish the priorities, don't lose the big because of the small and damage the foundation of the dynasty!"

"What Master Zong said is that you must know that it is all your responsibility to arrest the dead and detain the guards. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Now there is chaos in the places where the overseas confinement is confined, which in turn leads to the escape of the bereaved people and collusion with local pirates, which is all the dereliction of duty of the Spiegel Division in the final analysis...... It's good for you to pour dirty water on Wei Ge Lao by mixing right and wrong, it's shameless to the extreme! ”

"Fu Cheng, who are you scolding shamelessly!"

"I'll scold you!"

It's an early dynasty again. On one side, Wei Yan, the Duke of Zhenguo, and Fu Cheng, the minister of imperial history, and on the other side, Chen Youbai, the minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Zong Qing, the mirror envoy of the Ming Spiegel Division, were constantly arguing in the main hall.

The core issue is whether to use troops or surrender to overseas remnant bandits. Wei Yan and other old ministers advocated surrender and persuasion of peace. However, Zongqing, Chen Youbai and others have the opposite opinion, in their words, the remnants are not of our race, and they cannot raise tigers for trouble, and they must send troops to encircle and suppress them as soon as possible.

The two sides argued. It even began to evolve into a war of scolding. Gu Xi, the king of Anling, stood beside him, bowing his head silently, seemingly without an attitude, but in fact, he was leading behind the scenes, instructing his officials to oppose the proposal of Wei Yan and other old ministers.

The reason is very simple, he knows best the mind of his father who sits on the Jinluan Palace, and he will never allow the remnant to sit big, even if it is at all costs, it will nip the remnant's power in the bud. Secondly, the leader of the remnants of the Chaos Sea has a lot of trouble with him, and once the other party gains power, it will definitely become a big trouble for him.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Gu Xi will do his best to encourage troops to recruit overseas survivors.

"Don't make any noise!"

His Highness was in a mess. The ancient emperor sitting on the dragon chair finally spoke. Suddenly, the ministers were silent and bowed down.

As the supreme existence of this continent, the ancient emperor had already made a decision in his heart about the disaster of the bereaved people. However, before making a decision, he had to listen to the opinions of his courtiers.

"Lu Qing, what is your opinion from the military department?" The Ancient Emperor's eyes were full of majesty, and he looked at an armored military attache on the left below. This person's name is Lu Feng, who is in charge of the military department and has a great say in the recruitment of the bereaved.

Lu Feng immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, in recent months, the situation in northern Xinjiang has been chaotic, and the barbarians have been fighting endlessly, causing a large number of displaced people to harass the border, which has brought great pressure to our side. ”

After a pause, he said: "If we encircle and suppress the remnants of overseas at this moment, there is indeed a big problem in terms of food and grass for the soldiers...... In case of defeat due to this battle, there will be a chain reaction, which is very likely to lead to instability in the border defense situation of the whole territory! ”

The opinion of this minister of war is already obvious, and he tends to favor Wei Yan, Fu Cheng and other old ministers.

Gu Xi was not surprised when he heard this. Because the military department is his second emperor's brother from top to bottom, he has different political views, and he has always been-for-tat, and it is impossible to help himself.

After seeing that his father and emperor heard this, his expression was solemn and he was silent. Gu Xi knew that it was time for him to appear.

"General Lu!"

But seeing him pacing out, he looked at Lu Feng with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "To recruit overseas remnants, the naval army is the main force, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with the war in the northern Xinjiang!" ”

After hearing this, Lu Feng immediately retorted: "Your Royal Highness King Anling, don't forget that in addition to the northern frontier, the Eastern Leader and the King of the Japanese Dynasty surrendered on the surface, and secretly connived at the Liukou to attack and harass the southern coastal area. Most of the main force of our naval army is stationed in the southern territory, under the command of the king of Nanyue, once transferred, the southern territory of the coastal defense is lost, the rogue is raging, and the consequences are unimaginable! ”

"It's easy to solve."

Gu Xi seemed to be confident, facing the ancient emperor, and said eloquently: "Father, the second emperor's uncle is not only a naval army, his 100,000 tiger army is well-equipped, and its combat effectiveness is not inferior to the dragon armor army. ”

The ancient emperor bowed slightly: "Well, in terms of governing the army, I'm afraid that the king of Yue is unmatched except for your second brother!" ”

After hearing this, a wave of jealousy flashed in Gu Xi's eyes, and he immediately returned to normal, and continued: "If you send troops overseas, the naval army under the command of the Second Emperor Uncle will be transferred, and the coastal defense will be vacant, but the soldiers and horses on land still exist, and they will be strictly guarded, even if the Japanese invaders attack and disturb, it will not have much impact!" ”

"Hmm." The Gu Emperor nodded, looked at Gu Xi, and motioned for him to continue.

Gu Xi's confidence increased greatly, and he said: "The second emperor uncle guards the southern territory, is proficient in naval warfare, and he personally leads the troops to the battle, and the naval army governor's mansion fully cooperates, and the total strength reaches at least 300,000. ”

"Of course, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, my father can ask the God of War Temple to send someone to the battle...... In addition, the envoys from the Western Sass Empire have already communicated with their ministers, as long as I come out of the army, they will immediately send the royal fleet to fight together, and then the two sides will attack, which is enough to wipe out the disaster of the Chaos Sea! ”

At this point, Gu Xi was full of spirits and high spirits, and said: "After the destruction of the bereaved people, the main force of our naval army can take advantage of the situation to go south, sweep away the Japanese people with the momentum of thunder, deter the Japanese king, and punish their disobedience, so as to consolidate the suzerainty of our ancient dynasty, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!" ”

Needless to say, his words were extremely demagogic. Most of the Manchu civil and military ministers strongly agreed.

"Good! Good! Good! ”

The ancient emperor was no exception, even said three 'good' words, looked at Gu Xi with a face full of praise, and laughed: "The ancestral emperor established the country with martial arts, and passed it on to the generation of you and my father and son. ”

"Your Majesty!" Wei Yan heard that this person had plans to send troops, and he wanted to open his mouth to advise.

The ancient emperor waved his hand to interrupt, looked at Wei Yan, his most trusted minister, and said slowly: "For the matter of the bereaved disaster, this emperor has already made a decision, Aiqing doesn't need to say it again!" ”

Wei Yan retreated silently. He knew that this man had made up his mind, and there was no point in talking about it.

"Intended! The remnants occupy the sea area, wreak havoc on the disaster, and leave endless poison......"

The majestic words of the ancient emperor resounded through the hall. At this moment, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Gu Xi's mouth. And the group of old ministers standing opposite had ugly faces. Especially Wei Yan and Wei Ge, his expression was gloomy, revealing indescribable loneliness.

It is a foregone conclusion that troops will be sent overseas to encircle and suppress the bereaved.

After the next dynasty, Wei Yan did not return to the Guogong Mansion at the foot of Longshan, but went straight to a village in the western suburbs. Although this village is the property of the Wei family, there are very few people who really know it.

Outside the wall, a guard patrolled and was heavily defended. When I walked through the gate, it was empty, and there were few people to be seen.

Wei Yan's face was ugly. Without obedience, he passed through several corridors alone and walked towards a small building in the deepest part of the village. When he arrived, a fair-skinned and beautiful short-haired beauty happened to come out of the building, still holding a wooden plate in her hand. There are several delicate refreshments inside.

"Daddy!"

The short-haired beauty is named Wei Nan, Wei Yan's third daughter, and the only daughter who has not been out of the cabinet. She also has another identity, as the daughter-in-law of the ancient emperor and the future princess of Fang Xiaobao's friend Gu Lie.

"Nan'er, why are you here?" Seeing his favorite daughter, Wei Yan's face looked better.

"Dad, I'm going to get married in a few days, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to visit Xiang in the future...... He's it! Wei Nan's tone was soft, and his expression was inexplicably sad.

Wei Yan patted his daughter on the shoulder, looked at the refreshments on the wooden plate, and asked, "Won't he eat it?" ”

"He, he's been having a lot of mood swings lately, he's been very irritable."

Wei Nan looked at his father, his face unconsciously showing a touch of anxiety, "Dad, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on." ”

Wei Yan's heart was like a knife after hearing this, and he thought about it and sighed: "Since you are here, I will accompany my father to see him again...... After all, the two of you were closest and had the best relationship when you were young. ”

Wei Nan nodded. Then, the father and daughter walked into the small building. As far as the eye can see, there are four warriors guarding the hall. When he saw Wei Yan, he immediately bowed and saluted.

"Open the door." Wei Yan said in a deep voice.

Immediately, one of the fighters walked to the south wall and reached out to turn the vase placed in the corner.

Boom -

The sound of the machine running sounded. The entire wall cracked through it, revealing a dark tunnel entrance. Wei Yan strode over. His daughter Wei Nan followed.

Descending the stairs, the light inside was dim, except for two oil lamps, barely illuminating the path underneath your feet.

This is an underground chamber. The area is not large, only 100 square meters. There are ventilation holes all around, and although it feels a little cold and damp, the air is still circulating.

In the corner near the right, a dark shadow huddled there, and the light was dim making it impossible to see what it was.

"Xiang'er, Dad has come to see you!"

Wei Yan approached, his eyes looked at the black shadow shrinking in the corner, but his face couldn't help but be gloomy and sad.

"Little brother, dad came to see you...... You speak! Wei Nan spoke. The tone is gentle.

"Speak...... What do you say...... I asked him to let me out...... Will he do it? ”

A young voice rang out in the dark chamber. There is indescribable sadness, and anger.

"Yunxiang, my son, it's not that my father doesn't want to let you out, but the world is so big that there is no place for you!" Wei Yan said in a deep voice.

"Ten years!"

A roar. With the sound of chains mopping the floor, the black shadow huddled in the corner of the wall suddenly pounced, and stopped two meters away from Wei Yan. Looking at the faint light shining in from the vents, I saw a handsome and childish face, distorted and deformed at the moment, looking at Wei Yan with anger, and yelling: "You locked me up for ten years!" I'd rather go out and be hacked to death as a monster than stay in this dark cell and live in humiliation! ”

"It's not good for Dad, it's useless for Dad......"

Wei Yan walked over and touched the face full of anger and uncontrollable emotions, old tears were full of tears, and he was unspeakably sad, "Yunxiang, my father swears that he will exhaust the strength of the rest of his life, and he will definitely find a way to let you walk out from here openly!" ”

Looking at his face with tears flowing across the ravines, the young man with half of his body hidden in the darkness, his emotions began to calm down, "Dad, I don't blame you...... It's all my fault...... You and the third sister should go back...... I want to be quiet! ”

His tone was so lonely, looking into the eyes of the two closest relatives, revealing an indescribable dead silence. Slowly, the figure retracted, melted into the darkness, and was silent again.

Only Wei Yan's father and daughter were left, looking at each other with gloomy expressions.
