In this battle between the rivers, it was not only Sheng Yong who was hit, but also the current Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen in Nanjing. Originally, just over two months had passed since the "great victory of Dongchang," and before the DPRK and China could recover from their excitement, the news of General Pingyan's defeat spread to Beijing.

When he first got this battle report, Zhu Yunwen almost couldn't believe his eyes, how could he have imagined that Sheng Yong, who had high hopes and controlled the main force, would be defeated so quickly.

These days, I have always thought that I can calm down this war as soon as possible, and I hope that this will end soon, and I can settle down and have a good talk with my fourth uncle, so that the emperor's grandfather can restore peace to the country that the emperor has worked so hard to build, but now, all this dream is getting farther and farther away from him......

"Come on, spread Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai to see me!"

At this moment, Zhu Yunwen seems to have no better way to vent his anger except for these two people.

There was not much time, and the two unlucky ministers came together, and when they saw the emperor's face, they already knew it, so they knelt on the ground and performed the monarch's courtesy, and they didn't get up very interestingly, so they knelt in front of him.

Looking at the two ministers in front of him who he has always relied on and trusted, Zhu Yunwen couldn't tell what mood he was in at this time, that is, he hated it so much, and he felt that he couldn't let go of them, especially for Huang Zicheng, he has always been called "Mr.", and he treats him as a teacher, but now, the things in the court are getting worse and worse, which is annoying.

After relieving for a while, Zhu Yunwen took a long breath and said,

"Have you both read the battle report from the front just sent?"

"Back to the emperor, the ministers have seen it,"

Qi Tai replied first,

"Sheng Yong was defeated in the battle of Jiahe and now retreats to Texas. However, Your Majesty, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and I hope you don't worry too much......"

"Soldiers' affairs?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen's anger erupted "soaring",

"Then why is it that our side has always failed and not seen a few victories?! Defeated again and again, Geng Bingwen was defeated, Li Jinglong was defeated, and now Sheng Yong, who thought he could save the defeat, has also been defeated! As the secretary of the military department, you told me that when will that 'victory' be a common thing on our side?! ”

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger,"

Huang Zicheng saw that Qi Tai was speechless when he was asked, and hurriedly relieved him of the siege.

"Although the court army has been defeated again, after all, our side is justified and the world is in the heart, while King Yan's side is rebellious, even if it can be strong for a while, it will eventually be defeated."

"You say that I am the Son of Heaven and the fourth uncle is a rebel, right? What's the use of saying that?! I just want to know how to put an end to this war! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but think of the twists and turns of the fourth uncle last time, and the incident that was privately detained by the two of them, and thought that if it weren't for what these two people did, he would have been able to see the twists and turns of the fourth uncle in time at that time, and if he could send an envoy to negotiate with him, maybe there would not be the current situation, let alone make the situation so unstable.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Zhu Yunwen suddenly slapped the dragon book case and said,

"Okay, didn't you say that I will return to my heart? Then, you two should get me out of the capital now, and find hundreds of thousands of troops to come back and have a look, if you can't bring it back, don't come to see me!" ”

"Your Majesty......"

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai looked at each other in surprise, and they didn't know what to do for a while, because the two of them really couldn't figure out whether what the emperor was saying now was true or angry.

After being silent for a while, Zhu Yunwen calmed down his anger a little, and looked at him coldly.

"What are you two still doing here?! Didn't you hear what I just said, why don't you leave the capital for me, I don't want to see you again! ”

"Oh......"

It seems that what the emperor said was not only angry, but he was really driving them away, so the two of them had to kowtow again and get up to leave.

Out of the Qianqing Palace, I met the filial piety above. But it turned out that Fang Xiaoru also heard the news that Sheng Yong had lost the battle, and the emperor also summoned Huang and Qi over, knowing that he would definitely take the two of them out again, so he hurriedly rushed over to persuade them, who knew that it was still too late, and the thunderous anger was already over.

Looking at the two people who came over with a depressed face, Fang Xiaoru was really a little crying and laughing, and took the initiative to greet him.

"Two adults, are you being scolded by the emperor again?"

"Not only did I scold, but I was kicked out of the capital this time."

Qi Tai said weakly.

When Fang Xiaoru heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked,

"Is this true? What did the emperor say personally? You two want to be expelled from the capital? ”

"Can this be fake, the emperor scolded us just now, and then told us to 'get out of the capital', and didn't want to see us again,"

Huang Zicheng also sighed and said,

"Lord Fang, you said, what did the two of us do wrong with all these years of hard work, so that we would end up like this."

Fang Xiaoru secretly said in his heart, who made you always treat Your Majesty as a child, but as everyone knows, he has long been an adult, and he is still the son of today, the monarch of a country.

Looking at the listlessness of the two of them, he thought about it again before asking,

"Your Majesty, what did he say? Will you be removed from your official positions? ”

"This ...... I didn't say that,"

Qi Tai seems to have just noticed this,

"Yes, the emperor just said that the two of us should leave the capital, and did not mention that we should be removed from our official positions, and he also said that if we have the ability, we will go and recruit hundreds of thousands of troops to come back, otherwise don't come back to see him."

"Oh? yes, that's great,"

Fang Xiaoru said,

"Isn't this a good time? The two of you can secretly go to the place to recruit soldiers, so that you can hide from the enemy; Second, we can also supervise the situation of resisting the Yan army in various places, so as to prevent some local officials from slacking off. ”

"However, the emperor did not give us an edict, this is not a will, but it is a big rebellion to recruit troops privately......

Qi Tai was a little embarrassed.

Huang Zicheng glanced at him and said a little funny,

"How is Lord Qi confused, who usually sends the edict, isn't it the three of us, isn't it simple to have an edict, and it is the emperor himself who went to recruit troops, and there is nothing wrong with you drafting the edict."

"Ah, yes, yes......"

Qi Tai then remembered, isn't it, does it still need the emperor to come in person for such a thing as the edict, so he nodded again and again......

And at this moment, in the Yan army camp stationed in Jiahe, Zhu Di is still thinking about how to lure out Ping'an and Wu Jie in Zhending City.
