At this time, there was a lot of noise in the court of the Eastern Court, and the emperor's face was not good-looking, and he sat listlessly in the high seat, but he didn't want to say a word.

Wu Jiaming's cultivation of immortals, the old emperor was actually involved, and even knew that the source of this elixir was a little unclean, but he didn't care, anyway, as long as he wasn't poked out and didn't let him be annoyed, he could turn a blind eye.

After all, who doesn't want to live forever?

But who knew that this matter could offend the gods, and even go to the old general's dream, and even Wu Jiaming's situation is really just like what the fairy said in the old general's dream, and now Wu Jiaming's body is running out of oil, and there is not much time left.

Originally, the old emperor was a little unbelieving, and went to see Wu Jiaming in person, but Wu Jiaming also admitted that he had also seen the fairy, but the fairy said that he was a person with immortal fate, as long as he did things well according to her requirements, he could still become an immortal, but why did his body begin to weaken day by day?

Wu Jiaming suspected that the people under him did not do what he asked, and wanted to kill everyone, and remembered what the fairy godmother said, he couldn't kill anymore, so he could only let people check, but no matter how he checked, there was no flaw, and his body just began to weaken uncontrollably.

He is a person who is extremely afraid of death, and now he sees his body become like this, he washes his face with tears every day, even if he is sick and has difficulty moving, he must insist on burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, and begging the fairy godmother to dream again, but he has never been able to do so.

The old emperor also began to panic, although he didn't do those things himself, but he also took the pill, if the gods were really angry because of this, he really couldn't escape the blame.

He was bothered by these things, and even if the old general sent a lot of letters, he didn't care too much.

If you are going to die, who cares if others live or die?

But in this court, there are still some people who are patriotic, and some people stand up and say: "Your Majesty, the border affairs cannot be delayed any longer, and the grain and grass case must be cleared, if it weren't for this time, the soldiers on the border would not be so restricted everywhere!" ”

"Even if there is no result in this matter for the time being, we must first send food to the soldiers, this matter is not trivial, and we can't be willful!"

Originally, no matter how good the battle situation was, they all took Beiyan Huizhou City, but now they not only lost Huizhou City, but they are afraid that even the city of Dongting will be lost.

In time, can't you directly hit the national capital?

"Father, the son is willing to investigate the grain and grass case!"

The third prince stood up, he had a hard time during this time, Wu Jiaming was his uncle, and when something happened, everyone pushed the wall, saying that his mother's family was unlucky and would be targeted by the gods, and even the emperor looked at him and the prince unpleasantly.

The emperor was annoyed, and when he saw that someone was willing to investigate, no matter who it was, he wanted to agree, but some people were not convinced, and said: "It all started with Wu Jiaming, who knows if that batch of grain is the punishment of the gods to our Eastern Court, the Wu family is the mother of the third prince, it is better not to get involved in this matter." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone pointed the finger at the three princes and the crown prince, feeling that the war has become like this now and the two of them have a share!

After all, since they came back from Beiyan, Dongting has not done anything smoothly, it must be because of them.

The third prince gritted his teeth in anger, what does this have to do with him!

The prince didn't want to quarrel with them, but said: "Father, the war is tight, and the soldiers on the border can't eat enough, according to the opinion of the ministers, it is better to let the old general surrender, right?" Leaving Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, the old general has worked hard for the Eastern Court all his life, but he can't end up in such a miserable end. ”

Although surrender is a bit humiliating, there is no other way in the current situation, and we can't let all the soldiers starve to death at the border, then there will definitely be a rebellion.

However, he had good intentions, but many people in the DPRK and China did not think it was a good idea.

"Your Majesty, don't surrender! In this way, how will we stand in the future? That Beiyan is very shameless, he has looted so many good things from us before, if he retreats, their conditions will only be more harsh and excessive, in this way, how can we live in Dongting? ”

This person's worries are not completely unreasonable, and there are still many people in the DPRK and China who support them.

"And what do you say?"

The man choked for a moment, and said stubbornly: "Naturally, we will send food, so that the soldiers can eat enough, and they will not worry about winning the battle!" ”

"Hehe, that's easy to say!"

The prince sneered and replied: "When this batch of food is delivered, I am afraid that the bones of the soldiers will be cold!" ”

Escorting grain is not as simple as sending a letter, otherwise the food accident would not have been delayed for so long.

"Enough!"

The old emperor spoke in a deep voice, "There is no result in arguing every day, retreat from the dynasty!" ”

With that, he got up and left, not caring at all how this matter should be handled.

And it was delayed again.

The third prince looked at the crown prince helplessly and sighed.

Although the two of them have been at odds since childhood, they are brothers, and now they are being targeted by hundreds of civil and military officials, which is really unspeakably sad.

The worst thing is that after the Wu Jiaming incident, the Wu family was targeted, and their mother, Empress Wu, was basically in a state of solitary confinement, although the two of them could still come out and move around, it was not much better.

The old emperor has been unhappy with them recently, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he will consider abolishing the crown prince after abolition, so that the Wu family will be completely finished.

After the next dynasty, the two brothers rarely walked together, and they were all worried.

"The border war can't continue, otherwise the Eastern Court will be completely finished."

The third prince couldn't help but speak, he didn't advocate war from the beginning, Beiyan had Lu Baichuan's two sons, and they had no chance of winning in the Eastern Court.

Especially when the old general wrote to say that the other party had a very lethal little black ball, there was no need to guess that it should be from the hand of that woman, so it was better to surrender and make plans as soon as possible.

"What's the use of you and me? Father doesn't care at all. ”

The prince sneered, feeling that the current Eastern Court had signs of the death of the country.

The prince left quickly, since he knew the result earlier, he had to make plans early, he had finally healed his body, and he must strive to live for a while longer, otherwise he would be sorry for himself.

The third prince also knew this truth, and also quickly returned to his mansion to find a way out for himself.

At this time, the fifth prince went to meet the old emperor in private and told his plan.

"Father, the son is willing to personally escort the grain and grass to the border pass, and take command of the expedition, which will inevitably repel the Beiyan army and protect the border of my Eastern Court!"

The fifth prince still has some confidence in himself, he has been suppressed by the third prince since he was a child, and now that something has happened to the Wu family, it is his chance to show his strength.

As long as I can win this battle, I will be a big step closer to that position.

He was willing to take that risk.

Today's four watches, there are two more chapters in the evening~
