Chapter 219: Is It a Battle? Yes and?
The navy was defeated, and the news was transmitted back to the imperial capital, and the government and the opposition were shocked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The 200,000 elites under the command of the King of Nanyue, plus the 500 masters of the God of War Temple, lost nearly one-third. Even the chief priest of the Temple of War was captured alive.
It can be said that the relics won a complete victory, while the Gu clan lost badly, and even shook the foundation, which had a far-reaching impact.
Despite this, there are still a group of people in the court, who are trying their best to fight.
"The bereaved people are like a carbuncle, if they are not uprooted, the society will be turbulent, the people's will will be unstable, and the consequences will be unimaginable."
Chen Youbai, the minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Zong Qing, the mirror envoy of the Spiegel Division, are undoubtedly the two vanguards of the main battle. Gu Xi euphemistically echoed on the side, but in fact, he was the main one, trying his best to ask for war, and never compromise with the bereaved.
As for the other party, Wei Yan, the prince of Zhenguo, and Fu Cheng, the minister of imperial history, advocated surrender and persuasion of peace earlier. Earlier this day, another heavyweight joined their camp, and now his attitude is even more resolute.
"How to pull it out? What to take? ”
Wei Yan looked at Zong Qing and the others with a calm face, and said loudly: "The king of Yue was defeated, and our naval army suffered heavy losses...... Now that the King of Yue is leading his headquarters to come back to help, I would like to ask you, what other troops and horses can be dispatched to the Chaos Sea to conquer? ”
The roof leak happened to rain overnight. The conquest of the remnants was defeated, and the southern leader of the Japanese people made a rebellion, this time it was not a small fight, but a large number of soldiers and horses were organized to land and invade, and they passed along the way like locusts, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil.
When the king of Nanyue heard the news, he immediately asked him to lead his headquarters to come back to help and eliminate the Japanese invaders. Today's situation, as Wei Yan said, has no soldiers and horses in the ancient dynasty to fight in the chaotic sea.
It's true. But Zong Qing, Chen Youbai and others were unwilling to admit it, or they didn't want to admit defeat in this debate battle against the bereaved.
"We can unite the Western Sass Empire and let them send troops to conscript!" Chen Youbai proposed.
"What Master Chen said is true."
Zong Qing immediately opened his mouth and agreed, "The western ships are strong and the artillery is sharp, and the combat power of the naval army is far superior to that of our dynasty, as long as you promise benefits and use razing to defeat you, it is the best policy!" ”
The voice did not fall. Standing beside Wei Yan, the old man with a white beard and a cane in one hand looked at Zong Qing with incredible eyes and said, "Master Zong, these words came from your mouth, which really makes this seat unbelievable. ”
Zong Qing was stunned: "What does Master Fu mean?" ”
The white-bearded old man pointed to his head, smiled at Zong Qing and said, "I suspect that there is something wrong with you here!" ”
"You—" Zong Qing was furious when he heard this. I want to turn my face, but I don't dare to tear my face. Because this person has a very special identity and a noble status, it is not something he can afford to offend.
"Master Fu, please say anything clearly." Gu Xi was born. The subordinates are deflated, and of course the master can't sit idly by,
"Okay, His Royal Highness King Anling, this seat will make it clear to you."
The white-bearded old man looked at him, the smile on his face was gone, and he asked in a deep voice: "If this seat is not mistaken, the prince once swore in this hall that if I send out to the navy, the Western Maozi will send ships to echo each other at the same time, and attack the remnants of the chaotic sea on both sides, but is there such a thing?" ”
Gu Xi's expression froze, and he suddenly scolded in his heart, damn old thing, which pot is not opened.
But verbally, in the face of the questioning of the chief priest of the War God Temple, he had to admit it. Because in this hall, he once boasted about Haikou in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and he couldn't deny it if he wanted to.
"The result?" The white-bearded old man asked.
"This ......," Gu Xi said. The result was that he was fooled by the Western Maozi, and the navy conscripted him, not to mention the fleet, not even a fishing boat.
"Western Maozi is mercenary, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and the most dishonest...... Expecting them to send troops to conquer the Sea of Chaos, such a childish bad idea can be thought of, hmph, it's not that there is something wrong with the brain! ”
The white-bearded old man spoke sharply, and he did not leave any affection for Gu Xi and the others. He reasoned with everything, Gu Xi and the others refuted wordlessly, and their faces were embarrassed and ugly.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now!"
Just when Gu Xi was so poor that he couldn't get off the stage, the ancient emperor sitting in the hall slowly spoke: "Chief Priest Fu, what do you think?" Although this person's mood is extremely bad, his face is only slightly gloomy on the surface, and his bearing is still calm.
"Your Majesty."
The white-bearded old man bowed slightly, and then said: "I don't care about political affairs in the God of War Temple, whether it is war or peace, it is all up to Your Majesty to decide." ”
first expressed his attitude, and then this one said, "This time, I came to ask Your Majesty on the order of the hall master, the horse master priest, the two great priests, and a group of War God Temple personnel, now in the chaotic sea, whether it is to continue to raise troops or persuade peace and surrender, before this, I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to go to the chaos sea to negotiate with the other party, and strive to redeem the horse lord sacrifice them!" ”
"Quasi-play!"
The ancient emperor looked at the white-bearded old man, and said in a gentle tone: "The horse master priest has worked hard and made great achievements, but unfortunately he has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the dynasty will rescue him at all costs...... How to talk about it, Presiding Priest Fu only has to make up his mind, and there is no need to play again. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
The white-bearded old man bowed in gratitude. Then, he retired and left.
As soon as this one left, the group of guys who had been scolded before began to stumble again.
"Your Majesty, the chaotic sea relics have become a big problem, and the minister suggested that the Praetorian Guard be mobilized to the southwest, and the naval army will cooperate with the Governor's Mansion to discuss it for the second time!" Zong Qing and Chen Youbai joined forces to play.
"Are you crazy!"
Wei Yan rebuked unceremoniously: "The Praetorian Guard guards the imperial capital full-time, if there is another loss, the world will be in chaos and order will collapse, who will bear this responsibility?" ”
"Elder Wei Ge doesn't need to be alarmist!"
Gu Xi was born. He knew that Zong Qing, Chen Youbai and others alone, under the defeat and decline, it was no longer enough to make his father and emperor firm in his mind, and he had to go out in person.
"The mobilization of the Praetorian Guard, as long as it can exterminate the Chaos Sea Remnants in a short period of time, will not have any negative impact...... But if left unchecked, the remnants of the Chaos Sea will grow bigger and bigger, and by then the legacy will be endless, and even shake the foundation of the dynasty! ”
"King Anling is right, but even if the Praetorian Guards are mobilized to go to sea to fight, will they be fully sure that the disaster of the remnants will be quelled?"
Fu Cheng, the minister of imperial history, stood up, facing the ancient emperor who was sitting above, and said in a deep voice: "The king of Nanyue has reported the details of the battle, I believe that His Majesty has checked it, the Chaos Sea Relic is extremely powerful, not only has the ability to drive sea beasts and birds, but also has a god-level powerhouse......"
Hearing the words 'god-level powerhouse', Gu Xi, who was standing next to him, unconsciously flashed a trace of resentment on his face.
"What is the concept of a god-level relic, her combat power is almost comparable to the existence of the ancestral emperor, she is alone, even if there are thousands of troops, it is difficult to kill!"
When Fu Cheng said this, he knelt directly on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, you must not act rashly and do it again!" ”
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Wei Yan also fell to the ground.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"Seconded!"
More than half of the ministers in the court, kneeling and pleading, the Lord and not the Lord fight.
"Recruiting the bereaved is against the ancestral teachings!"
Not to be outdone, Gu Xi took Zong Qing and a group of ministers to bow down and ask for his life, "Father, no matter how powerful the Chaos Sea Relics are, with my Gu clan background, I should not be afraid...... As long as the Praetorian Guard is mobilized, the Temple of the God of War assists...... It's a big deal, send the inner court to hide ......"
"Shut up!"
Gu Xi didn't finish his words. Suddenly, he heard the shouting and reprimanding, and immediately reacted, he was careless for a while, and almost leaked the secrets of the Gu clan's royal family.
Look up. His father's face was full of anger. Gu Xi immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything again.
"In response to the matter of the remnants of the chaotic sea, we will discuss it later and retreat from the dynasty!"
scolded the prince he valued the most. The ancient emperor was in an irritable mood, got up and waved his sleeves and left.
The court was dispersed. Whether it is the main battle or the main and two camps, they have not achieved the expected goals. Gu Xi was depressed. The same is true for Wei Yan. The two met at the palace gate, ignored the other, boarded the carriage and prepared to return home.
"Old thing, let you jump for a while, and when this king sits on the dragon chair, it will be the time when your Wei family is cut off!"
Gu Xi has a generous appearance and is known as the title of a virtuous king, but in fact he is narrow-minded and will be repaid. He had already regarded Wei Yan and other old ministers as a thorn in his eye, a thorn in his flesh, if he didn't have scruples, he would have a desire to kill quickly.
Wei Yan, who was about to board the carriage not far away, seemed to notice Gu Xi's murderous eyes, turned his head to look over, and pointed to the north.
"Old immortal, damn it!"
Others don't know, but Gu Xi knows it at a glance, and the other party is reminding him not to forget the one who guards the northern frontier.
"Go home!"
Thinking of his second brother, Gu Xi was in a terrible mood. Hop in the car and leave, never wanting to look at the old thing again.
