Chapter 1320: Divergence
Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 inforeadx;?“ General, do we really have to accept the conditions of the Wind Army," the adjutant general asked with a grin,
If you are forced to be forced by the enemy army to execute a regiment commander of your own side, and dedicate your head to the enemy army, this is not only a shame, it is simply a loss of power and humiliation of the country, which makes people feel cold.
"The stakes are very high, it's not for us to decide, it's better to leave it to Your Majesty and the imperial court to decide," Yue Qian muttered.
Imperial Palace, Taihe Treasure Palace,
There has been chaos outside the palace, and the court inside the palace is also in a panic, and many ministers are now frightened and at a loss.
Guanyu's face was ugly, he looked around at the ministers present, and said in a deep voice: "As early as a month ago, I reminded you that the target of the Wind Army was not the Thirteenth Legion at all, but Tianjing, but no one believed it at that time, and now, the Wind Army is coming to the city, and you have a way to deal with it,"
The ministers looked at each other, hung their heads red-faced, and no one dared to answer.
Guanyu's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and finally landed on Zhang Jiuwei's body, and asked: "Hasn't Lord Zhang always been resourceful, come to think of it, Lord Zhang now has a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
At the beginning of the court, Zhang Jiuwei kept saying that the Feng Army would never come to attack Tianjing, but the current situation is really slapping Zhang Jiuwei in the face.
The ministers present looked at Zhang Jiuwei one after another, and the eldest grandson Bohao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, also stared at him with an unkind face.
Zhang Jiuwei smiled disapprovingly and said, "Lord Guan thinks that the lower official said something wrong?"
Guanyu smiled, laughed angrily, raised his hand in the direction of Nancheng, and shouted: "The wind army is now under the city,"
Zhang Jiuwei asked, "May I ask Lord Guan, where is the Thirteenth Legion now?"
Guanyu frowned, and said in a cold voice: "In the capital,"
"Yes, the thirteen legions have all run into the capital, and it is not surprising that the wind army is chasing the thirteenth legions, which is not contrary to the original analysis of the lower officials, Lord Guan, what do you say?"
"You...... You're a strong word,"
"Your Majesty," Zhang Jiuwei bowed to the eldest grandson Bohao, and said: "Two days ago, when the Thirteenth Legion arrived in the capital, Wechen had already suggested that the Thirteenth Legion should not be allowed to enter the city
The eldest grandson Bohao thought about it and felt that Zhang Jiuwei was right, the actual situation was like this,
When Guanyu heard this, he was so angry that his body trembled, he pointed at Zhang Jiuwei, and said angrily: "Clever tongue like a spring, mouth honey heart sword, demagoguery, courtier thief,"
Zhang Jiuwei maintained a posture of kowtowing, only tilted his head slightly, looked at Guanyu, and said: "Lord Guan, whether the lower official is a thief or not, it's not up to you to decide, Your Majesty is still here, Lord Guan thinks that Your Majesty has no knowledge of people,"
"You ......"
"Okay, don't make any more noise,"
The eldest grandson Bohao slapped the table suddenly, stood up suddenly, glared at the ministers below, and said angrily: "Noisy, noisy, noisy, endless quarrel, the wind army has reached the capital, you are still arguing, how long do you want to quarrel?"
"Your Majesty forgives me," all the ministers knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the eldest grandson Bohao took a deep breath, waved his hand and shouted: "Get up and speak," After everyone got up, he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and asked: "Do you Aiqing have a good way to break the enemy?"
Zhang Jiuwei suddenly spoke: "General Heng,"
Hearing his words, a young man from the general's side stepped forward, intervened to give a salute, and said, "Lord Zhang,"
This young general's name is Xin Jiheng, an orthodox disciple of the Xin family, and Xin Jiyao's cousin, he is in charge of the Xuanji Battalion, and he is also one of the intelligence agencies of the Ningnan Imperial Court.
Zhang Jiuwei asked, "General Heng, how many troops are there outside the city?"
Xin Jiheng pondered for a moment and replied, "There are about 80,000 people,"
Zhang Jiuwei smiled and asked, "Then according to General Heng, can these 80,000-strong wind army defeat the capital?"
Xin Jiheng blinked, bowed down and said, "The last general doesn't know," he is only responsible for the collection of intelligence, as for the measurement and analysis of the strength of the enemy and us, this is not his responsibility, and he is unwilling to interfere.
Zhang Jiuwei nodded, and arched his hand to the eldest grandson Bohao and said: "Your Majesty, there are only 80,000 wind troops outside the city, and the defenders of the capital, up and down, are combined, above 300,000, 80,000 to attack 300,000, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, what else does Your Majesty have to worry about?"
Guanyu was about to speak, when a Praetorian Guard came in outside the hall to report: "Your Majesty, General Yue sent a partial general to report the military situation,"
The eldest grandson Bohao subconsciously straightened his waist and said, "Quickly bring people into the hall,"
"Yes, Your Majesty," the Praetorian Guard turned around and went out, and after a short time, a general walked into the hall quickly, he knelt on one knee, intervened in the salute, and said: "Nancheng general Shi Ming, see Your Majesty,"
"The wind army is attacking the city," Eldest Sun Bohao leaned forward and looked at Shi Ming intently,
Shi Ming replied: "The Wind Army did not attack the city,"
Huh, the eldest grandson Bohao and the ministers in the hall all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Shi Ming continued: "Just now, the Feng Army has put forward conditions, as long as it ...... Just ......"
"As long as what," Eldest Sun Bohao asked with a frown, "If you have something to say, you don't have to babble,"
Feng Jun said, as long as ...... As long as our country is willing to hand over General Cha's head, the Feng Army will retreat," Shi Ming was bold and whispered,
His voice was not loud, but when he heard it in the ears of everyone present, it was like a thunderclap, and the first person to stand up against it was Guanyu, he was so angry that he stomped his feet fiercely, and said angrily: "How can this be true, it is simply unreasonable, and the wind army is also too deceitful,"
There are many ministers who are full of the same righteous indignation as Guanyu, even if the Thirteenth Legion is a straw bale legion, even if Chastain is not a pity to die, but only the emperor of his country can execute him, and it is not the turn of the wind man to point fingers,
Zhang Jiuwei sighed lightly and said: "All the problems, in the final analysis, are Chastain, if it weren't for Chastan's greed for life and fear of death, all the way back to the capital, how could the Feng Army come to the city now, Your Majesty, Weichen thinks, even if the Feng Army does not want Chastan's head, Chastain is also unforgivable, and it must not be kept, now the Feng Army has put forward such a condition, why don't our country push the boat down the river and sell a favor to the Feng Army, as long as the Feng Army retreats first and solves the crisis in the capital, our country will naturally have the opportunity to be ashamed in the future,"
The eldest grandson Bohao nodded while listening, feeling that what Zhang Jiuwei said was very reasonable, Chastain was really hateful, the thirteenth army led by him had become a joke of the country's central army, such a scum, a black sheep, should have died a long time ago,
Seeing that the eldest Sun Bohao showed signs of being moved by Zhang Jiuwei's words, Guanyu shouted loudly: "Your Majesty must not listen to slanderous rumors, even if Chastan deserves death, but now he must not be killed,"
"Oh, where did Guan Aiqing say that,"
"The grudge between the Thirteenth Legion and the Wind Country is because the Thirteenth Legion blew up the material depot of the Wind Army, for the country, this is a great achievement, and now if Your Majesty executes Chastan, it will only make the officers and soldiers in the army think that Your Majesty is forced by the threat of the Wind Army, so that you have to abandon the pawn to protect the car, in this way, will not make the soldiers chill, in the future, who will go to the battlefield and fight hard with the Wind Army, who will do their best to kill the enemy for the country, the Wind Army asks for Chastan's head, it is the heart attack strategy used by the Wind Army, Your Majesty must not be fooled,"
Guanyu is really anxious now, if he really kills Chastain at this time, the morale of his own soldiers will collapse immediately, not to mention the 80,000 wind army, I am afraid that the 8,000 wind army can defeat this huge Tianjing City, it is a matter of the country, how can Guanyu not be in a hurry,
The old god Zhang Jiuwei said on the ground: " The purpose of the wind army is only one, to kill Chastan to vent his hatred, and Chastan is not good at fighting, and repeatedly flees without a fight, and does not listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, there is indeed a reason to kill, His Majesty is now executing Chastan, that is, to solve the danger of the capital, and punish the guilty ministers who are greedy for life and afraid of death, it is obviously a double win, but when it comes to Lord Guan, how can it be wrong, it seems that no matter what kind of resolution His Majesty makes, Lord Guan thinks it is wrong, and the lower officials want to ask, what is the intention of Lord Guan,"
His words were really murderous without seeing blood, and also made the ministers present gasp, the new monarch succeeded to the throne, the throne is unstable, what is the most fearful, the minister, Zhang Jiuwei's words are undoubtedly provoking the eldest grandson Bohao's jealousy of Guanyu,
Sure enough, when the eldest grandson Bohao heard this, his eyes immediately looked at Guanyu, his face was cloudy, and his eyes were obscure.
Guanyu gritted his teeth secretly with hatred, and said sharply: "Zhang Jiuwei, you don't want to talk nonsense here, you have a close personal relationship with the eldest grandson Boyuan, and now the eldest grandson Boyuan is in exile, and you are still having an affair with the eldest grandson Boyuan, what should you be guilty of?"
Zhang Jiuwei didn't say a word, he knelt on the ground with an ordinary voice, kowtowed to the eldest grandson Bohao, and said: "Weichen's loyalty to His Majesty, others don't know, Your Majesty won't know, Lord Xianguan has no evidence and no certificate, accusing Weichen of also anti-thief fornication, and asking Your Majesty to be the master of the old minister,"
The eldest grandson Bohao took a deep breath and asked Guan Yu: "Guan Aiqing, you said that Zhang Aiqing had an affair with the eldest grandson Boyuan, but there is evidence,"
"This ...... Wechen has no evidence, but ......"
"Since there is no evidence, don't say anything like that in the future, Zhang Aiqing's loyalty to me, I know much better than others,"
Zhang Jiuwei's background is more complicated, he belongs to the eldest grandson Boyuan's line, but he has long had an affair with the eldest grandson Bohao, to be more precise, the reason why Zhang Jiuwei will stand on the side of the eldest grandson Boyuan was originally assigned by the eldest grandson Bohao.
It's just that there are really few people who know about it, after the fall of the eldest grandson Boyuan, Zhang Jiuwei was not affected in any way, but was trusted and reused by the eldest grandson Bohao, and the reason is this,
Now Guanyu accuses Zhang Jiuwei of collaborating with the enemy without any evidence, but makes the eldest grandson Bohao more and more dissatisfied with him, thinking that Guanyu's impeachment of Zhang Jiuwei is to deliberately eradicate his own henchmen and ministers, accumulate his own henchmen, and let the ministers in the court take his crown and jade as the first to look forward.
Seeing the eldest grandson Bohao's maintenance of Zhang Jiuwei, Guanyu no longer pointed the finger at Zhang Jiuwei, he knelt down and kowtowed, choked and said: "Your Majesty, now Chastain must not be killed, it is a matter of the country, dignity, and the morale of the soldiers of the whole army, and I hope that Your Majesty will be clear,"
On the matter of whether to kill Chastain or not, many ministers supported Guanyu, and before Guanyu's words fell, Minister of the Interior Li Zhen, Minister of Finance Leng Pei and others came out one after another, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in unison: "Lord Guan's words are reasonable, please Your Majesty Mingjian,"
So many ministers support Guanyu, which really surprised the eldest grandson Bohao, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Jiuwei, who first shook his head helplessly at him, and then nodded meaningfully, and finally hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking sneer, as if to say, how about it, Your Majesty, now the ministers in the court are about to become his ministers of Guanyu, such a response, Your Majesty has to guard against it,
Zhang Jiuwei's meaning, the eldest grandson Bohao understood, his hands under the dragon book case slowly clenched into fists, his face did not show the slightest displeasure, and said softly with a smile: "Since all Aiqing think that General Cha should not be killed, then, I, let's do what you Aiqing want,"
"Your Majesty Shengming," the ministers shouted in unison, only Guanyu maintained the posture of kowtowing forward, and did not move, but beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead,
Eldest grandson Bohao's words, others may not have heard anything, but Guanyu heard another layer of meaning, my original intention was not to decide like this, the reason why I want to make such a decision is because of the forced palace of you ministers,
