Seeing that the old lady was silent for a long time, Dong Shilang urged: "You have to send this excerpt to the imperial study immediately, so that the emperor knows that the old marquis is really loyal to Da Zhou, and the old marquis's self-described innocence is also true." ”

Huang Taishi raised his head and looked at Dong Shilang.

What do you mean by that?

Didn't the emperor know that the Marquis of Yongning was loyal to the Great Zhou? Don't you know that Yongning Hou and Lin Fan are bent on fighting Xizhou?

The emperor knows it too well!

But the more the self-described excerpts are, the more true the sentences are, the more unhappy the emperor looks at them.

Fan Taibao pondered for a while, and said to Huang Taishi: "Give me the excerpt, I'll go." ”

Huang Taishi raised his eyebrows and asked Fan Taibao with his eyes.

Such an unfortunate thing, Fan Taibao actually took the initiative today?

Since Fan Taibao was willing to go, Huang Taishi did not refuse, after all, he had just returned from the imperial study and was urged to do so.

Fan Taibao took the excerpt of the military report, took a little tighter, and went into the palace.

Walking outside the imperial study, he met Deng Guoshi.

The bruises on Deng Guoshi's face have long since dissipated, but he is embarrassed and miserable, and the shelves have become higher and higher recently.

Taller, no one dared to say it in front of him.

As for the muttering behind his back, Deng Guoshi couldn't do anything.

can only turn a deaf ear, endure the moment, and wait for the future to slowly settle the account.

The two sides looked at each other and saluted each other.

Fan Taibao said: "National teacher, please stay, wait a while, the emperor may still look for you." ”

Deng Guoshi lowered his eyes and looked at the little old man in front of him: "What do you mean by Taibao's words?" ”

"The meaning of letting the national teacher walk a few steps less." Fan Taibao smiled happily, and when Father-in-law Ji came out, he followed him into the imperial study.

Deng Guoshi stood under the porch, his brows furrowed.

Fan Taibao stepped forward to salute the emperor, and the general reported it.

When the emperor opened it, his eyes widened.

What did he see?

Xizhou City, surrendered?

What made Yu Bai surrender was a letter from Li Jiao, and it was Lin Fan who persuaded Li Jiao.

Fan Taibao didn't see the emperor's expression, and said slowly: "After taking Xizhou City, we not only solved the dilemma in the western border, but also countered the Xiliang army. This time I can win a big victory, showing the majesty of my Great Zhou, and the emperor should reward the three armies. ”

The emperor gritted his teeth and never took his eyes off the fold.

From beginning to end, all he watched was "victory without a fight".

When was the last time he saw those four words?

How many years has it been?

These four words have appeared again and again, and in his heart, there is no doubt about nightmares.

Between the third and fourth years of Jianlong, the crown prince Zhao Lin destroyed the withering and decaying, connected the six prefectures and six prefectures, and delivered the military reports in Beijing, all of which were tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers from several cities and towns.

The word that the ministers said most often when they complimented, and he remembered it very well, was "popularity."

A soldier who surrenders without a fight.

What is needed is not only the suppression of troops, but also absolute popularity.

Now, more than 20 years later, Zhao Li has seen these four words again.

This time, the person who knocked on the city gate was Lin Fan.

Qin Yin's old thing, he knows how to poke his heart, and he will write this military newspaper.

There is also the self-described innocent excerpt, every sentence of "Da Zhou", without the slightest falsehood, and it is so true that it is abhorrent.

Big Week, Big Week.

Obviously, he is the emperor of the Great Zhou.

The Great Zhou that Qin Yin swore allegiance to in his mouth was not his Great Zhou.

What a joke, what a heartbreak!

Fan Taibao said what he had to say, did not persuade him to say a word more, and bowed and retired.

Walking out of the imperial study, sure enough, Deng Guoshi stood outside.

Fan Taibao waved his hand at him, and continued to move forward and leave the palace.

Deng Guoshi looked at Fan Taibao's back, and then, the emperor's heavy coughing sound came from the imperial study.

Gonggong Ji hurriedly agreed with the emperor.

The emperor coughed for a while before he could barely stop, panting and pressing his neck.

At that moment, Xu was excited, sour and astringent.

"You don't need to call the imperial doctor," the emperor instructed Ji Gong to be fair, "go and invite the national teacher." ”

Ji Gonggong should be down.

Deng Guoshi came in and saw the emperor looking at him, he explained: "I met Lord Taibao before, and he asked his ministers to wait. ”

A trace of displeasure flashed in the emperor's eyes, but he didn't say anything, only let Deng Guoshi read the military report.

Deng Guoshi took it and took a look, in the hot summer, the whole body was cold.

For the emperor, the way to win, the victorious person, and the little joy of winning Xizhou City are not worth mentioning at all.

"In the opinion of the national teacher," the emperor looked at Deng Guoshi and asked, "how should I deal with it?" ”

Deng Guoshi couldn't answer.

Before, he could still pin his hopes on the Xiliang people to be ruthless, but now, Xiliang is defeated, who can hurt Lin Fan?

Moreover, with such a big victory, the border soldiers are bound to unite as one, and it is even more impossible to detain Lin Fan and Yongning Hou.

There is no doubt that the emperor is at a disadvantage.

The previous attack in Beijing also put an end to the procrastination road of "vain and wrongful snakes".

The emperor and Lin Fan, under the holy decree of "rebellion", it is inevitable to draw their swords against each other.

"For a while, there is no good way," Deng Guoshi stiffened his head and tried to stabilize his voice, "The minister asks the emperor to give him some time, and let the minister think about it carefully." ”

While speaking, Deng Guoshi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Long Yan.

After saying that, the emperor was noncommittal for a long time, Deng Guoshi waited in his heart, and finally waited for a "go out".

He did not dare to linger longer, so he paid all his respects and withdrew.

Gonggong Ji perfunctorily sent him out of the imperial study, turned around and went back to serve.

Deng Guoshi stared at the back of Gonggong Ji, hatred burst out in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and waved his sleeves to leave.

Since the accident of Gonggong Xu, the royal front has been controlled by Gonggong Ji.

If Gonggong Xu is obedient to Deng Guoshi, then Gonggong Ji is extremely prevaricating to him.

As a result, it is impossible for Deng Guoshi to easily grasp the emperor's various moods and conditions as before.

Even, he vaguely felt that under the provocation of the eunuch surnamed Ji, the emperor's trust in him gradually decreased.

It's not good.

He had to come up with a way to turn the tide.

Because this military report arrived in Beijing in the evening and was directly sent to the imperial study by Fan Taibao, no one in other places in the palace received the news.

It wasn't until the morning of the second day that the Queen Mother heard about the situation.

Leaning on the pillow, in a trance, the queen mother seemed to hear the voice of the first emperor.

"Soldiers are bloodless, and they are really good at it."

"City after city, my son can fight the country better than me."

"I'm old, I can't do it, this world is still their young people after all."

……

All the words were said by the first emperor when he praised Zhao Temporarily.

Looking at it now, it can also be applied to Zhao Lin's son.

There are talented people from generation to generation.

And she, too, is old.

is so old that even her own son refuses to listen to her.

Although her heart is cold, as long as she still has a breath, she still has to solve problems for the emperor.

"Send someone to the imperial study to spread a message," the queen mother explained to Mama Xia, "I invite the emperor to come to accompany the mourning family for dinner today." ”
