"Is this true?" Hearing what the other party said, Situ Yutang suddenly had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and his face twisted back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info won Longdong, that day the water will have no worries, if you can join forces with the third brother, it may not be possible to recapture Heshuo.

"Is it really true, Yutang, you still don't know?" Wu Feng replied with a smile, "It's just that your third brother still has to do a good job, I don't think he may be willing to do this." ”

After being silent for a long time, Situ Yutang also knew the difficulty of this, and now his elder brothers all supported their own troops, and in their opinion, these armies had become their weight for the throne, how could they be easily used? And the city guard corps led by Nayusuf, Situ Yutang was also sure that he was definitely instructed by a certain elder brother, so he dared to act so boldly, otherwise he would not dare to disobey his father's order head-on.

"In this regard, I will try to convince the third brother that the safety of the empire is on his own, and even if they want to fight for that place, they should wait until they clear the chaotic party and eliminate the enemy. Situ Yutang lowered his head and said in a low voice, "They will only cheapen the Taiping Sect's gang of rebels and those tigers and wolves around the empire for nothing, can't they see this situation clearly?"

"Hehe, Yutang, I think Your Highnesses may be too obsessed with certain aspects, so that they are stalemate and monitor each other, but I am afraid that it will really cause a catastrophe. Wu Feng also got up and slowly paced in place.

"Hmph, they are all looking at the position of the ninety-five treasures, I think they will reap the consequences after all, but in this way, the empire will fall into the abyss. Situ Yutang, who has always been forbearing, also rarely commented on his brothers in front of Wu Feng, "We can't let this situation continue, so we must find a way to retake Heshuo, which is related to the life and death of the empire!"

Yutang said yes. Wu Feng smiled and nodded, "I hope Yutang can convince His Royal Highness that the Northwest Army is willing to follow the Tail of the Annex." ”

The autumn wind is whirling, the eyes are full of depression, and there are suddenly fewer pedestrians on the bustling streets, and the people who come and go are all in a hurry, and many shops have been half-closed doors, and some have even closed their doors with an inventory of them, and they have put on the signboard of sale and transfer. He Zhiqiu sat in the sedan chair with an expressionless face, looking at all this in front of him coldly, could it be that the cold winter of the empire has finally arrived?

Recalling the scene of meeting His Majesty just now, He Zhiqiu's heart was even more uncomfortable, His Majesty in a trance was as thin as skin and bones, and he needed to rest for a while every time he said a few words, and the continuous blows had made His Majesty's nerves a little numb, and even his own report on Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan's request to be crowned king had not attracted too much attention from His Majesty, and at the moment this mess seemed to have lost confidence even His Majesty, and all affairs were entrusted to himself and His Royal Highness the Nine, as if he and His Highness the Nine could turn the tide, but in this situation, Can His Highness the Ninth really support this crisis？

A little dazed looked out of the sedan window, a gust of autumn wind passed through the thick sedan curtain, He Zhiqiu couldn't help but shudder, Yusuf this guy blatantly disobeyed the order and disobeyed He Zhiqiu was also surprised, he didn't know who Yusuf dared to do this for, but I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor knows as well as himself, this is a guy who wants to compete for the throne to dare to do such a thing against the sky, the current situation is only afraid that even His Majesty the Emperor does not dare to easily set the throne, if it is not good, it will stir up the storm and make this huge empire fall apart, and the plan he made for His Majesty the Emperor seems to have failed, I didn't expect the princes to be able to join forces with the Taiping Sect for their own interests, which was indeed a bit unexpected by themselves, and failure was a reasonable thing.

"My lord, His Royal Highness the Ninth Mansion has arrived. The guard's words interrupted the Chancellor's musings, "Well, I see. ”

Through the courtyard, an elegant study was presented in front of him, "Your Highness, Lord He has arrived." ”

As soon as the guard's words fell, a handsome man in a brocade robe with a golden crown and hair had already come out, followed by a tall girl. Looking at it, He Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, but he still bowed respectfully and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Nineth, and I have seen His Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess." ”

The tall woman is naturally the thirteenth princess of the empire Situ Yushuang, who was born with Situ Lang's mother, her face was cold and she followed behind her brother without saying a word, and when she saw He Zhiqiu's arrival, she just nodded silently, He Zhiqiu could see that compared with the previous few months, the woman in front of her had lost a lot of weight, and she was obviously worried about the crisis in front of the empire.

"Come in and sit down, Old He, the thirteenth sister was invited by me, the current situation is already like this, one more person has more heart, besides, the thirteenth sister is also a famous talented girl in our royal family, presumably He Lao won't mind, right?" Although Situ Lang has been carefully retouched, it is still difficult to hide the deep worry behind his eyebrows.

"Your Highness is serious, Your Majesty has entrusted the important affairs to Your Highness, everything is naturally subject to Your Highness's opinion, the thirteenth princess is quick-witted, the name is Jinghua, and she is a compatriot of His Royal Highness's mother, so she is naturally the best person to assist His Highness in planning. "He Zhiqiu naturally knows the blood relationship between the two, the wisdom of the thirteen princesses is known all over the dynasty, at this time, His Majesty's body is like a candle in the wind, which can be extinguished at any time, and he has faintly set the position on the handsome man in front of him, of course, he only has to do his best to assist, and he has done his duty as a courtier.

"Lord He has an overreputation, Yushuang is just an ordinary woman, how can she be worthy of such praise from Lord He, but at the moment the country is in critical condition, his father is not in good health, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are helpless in the face of rampant thieves, although Yushuang is a daughter, she does not want to become a slave of the country, since the ninth brother supervises the national affairs, Yushuang naturally wants to share the worries for the ninth brother. Situ Yushuang's tone was very indifferent, but the worries in his heart couldn't be hidden from He Zhiqiu, who was old and sophisticated.

"Okay, He Lao and the thirteenth sister should not be humble, the current situation is in danger, the thief army has reached the eastern border of Jindong, and the eldest brother and the third brother are pretending to be deaf and dumb and do not move, the seventh brother is pretending to be sick in Jiangnan, but he dominates the seventh legion firmly, and there is only one Praetorian Legion in Yanjing City at the moment, what do you think we should do at the moment?" Situ Lang was not originally a person with a surname in a hurry, but the bad news that came every time really broke his heart, and the three elder brothers were all stopping and watching, do they really want to defend this Yanjing City, and wait for the Taiping Chaos Army to attack it?

Seeing that although the other party was quite indignant at the actions of his brothers, he didn't mention the city guard corps that was close at hand, He Zhiqiu vaguely felt that something was wrong, and his heart tightened, could it be that there was something strange in this? His Majesty the Emperor already hated Yusuf who disobeyed the order, but considering that he was afraid of forcing the opposition at such a time, he had not made an order to investigate, and now there was no better way to solve this problem, thinking of this, He Zhiqiu's heart was even more cold, it seems that the battle for the throne is enough to make people abandon anything, even the relationship between father and son can also be left behind.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much, with the observation of the old minister, although the Taiping Rebellion Army has taken the Heshuo region, it is already at the end of the crossbow, and the tug-of-war between the rivers has made them lose a lot, and the Heshuo region has always been the hinterland of the empire, and the foundation of the Taiping Sect in this region is not solid, if they want to gain a foothold in this area, I am afraid that they will need to spend some time and energy, Yanjing should still be an unattainable luxury for them, and they currently have no strength to consider Yanjing. He Zhiqiu calmed down, put aside the cranky thoughts in Fang Cai's own mind, and analyzed the current situation step by step.

"Then according to the old man's opinion, could it be that we are just waiting here and doing nothing?" Situ Lang asked a little anxiously, sitting and waiting like this, I am afraid that both the courtiers and the people and gentry of the empire will lose confidence in their highness, the prison state, and the father may change his attention, so that his already great hope for the opportunity to be disappointed, which he can't accept no matter what.

"Your Highness, now there are only 100,000 troops of the Praetorian Guard Army in Yanjing City, and the Taiping army gathered in the Heshuo area has as many as 200,000, and they have just won a big victory, and their morale is booming. Although He Zhiqiu was aware of the other party's thoughts, it was indeed not the time to act with personal feelings at this moment, so he had to patiently persuade the other party.

"But Lord He, if we blindly retreat and indulge the thieves like this, I am afraid that they will gain a firm foothold in the Heshuo area, and we will pay a greater price if we want to recover the lost territory, have you ever thought of this?" Situ Yushuang's words did not have the slightest feeling, and they were cold as if they were squeezed out of the cracks of the iceberg.

"However, according to Her Royal Highness the Princess, how should we deal with it now? Do we really let the Praetorian Legion fight?" He Zhiqiu knew that the other party must have something to say, and he didn't want to argue with the other party more, so he asked lightly.

"Of course, it is impossible for the Praetorian Legion to fight, but doesn't the empire still have a huge three-section envoy? Didn't Lin Guoxiong and Lang Yongquan write to ask their father to crown them as kings? They have to come up with something to prove their loyalty to the empire, how can the reward of this throne be so good, of course they have to set a little example, Lord He, do you say?" Situ Yushuang looked calm and said such a question lightly.

A little hesitant like the master asked himself and asked the two of them, Situ Lang muttered: "Do you really want to crown the two of them as kings? ”

"Ancestral customization? Now that even the empire is at a critical juncture, who will attach importance to what ancestral customization? As long as the empire can be resolved, let alone two kings, what if ten kings are sealed?" Situ Yushuang retorted coldly.

Seeing that Situ Yushuang was so tough and resolute, He Zhiqiu couldn't help but admonish: "It's easy to withdraw the feudal king, Your Royal Highness the princess, once this starts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop it, the two highnesses have to think about it carefully." ”
