It seems to see the empress's doubts.

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't believe in the minister?" ”

"Of course not!"

Wu Mingkong stared at Fang Xiu and said with a straight face: "I know that you never let go of what you say and do, it's just ...... In my opinion, with the strength of the imperial court, it is a bit risky to start a war with Yan and Zhou at the same time. ”

Fang Xiu showed a solemn look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The minister hopes that Your Majesty understands that war is not child's play, and the moment Your Majesty decides to cut down Zhou, you should be ready to fight with the Yan Kingdom!" ”

Wu Mingkong's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he blurted out: "Yan and Zhou have a feud, and the Minister of Yan has a close connection with Zhenbao Zhai, why do you make up your mind that Yan Guo will definitely stand out for Zhou Guo?" ”

Fang Xiu said: "If Your Majesty could consider this matter from the perspective of Emperor Yan, he would not ask this question. ”

Wu Mingkong was slightly stunned, his face showed a hint of trance, and he fell into thought.

After a while, she suddenly realized that if she was the emperor of Yan, she would never allow Daqian to annex her neighbors, even if it was a feud.

Without him, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold.

That's it.

She couldn't help but say, "You know that Yan Guo will definitely send troops, why don't you say it." ”

The voice fell.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes to look at the little empress, his eyes did not carry any emotion, and he said: "Since all affairs are decided by the ministers, what does it matter if you don't tell Your Majesty?" ”

The meaning of this could not be clearer.

To put it bluntly, if you tell you, you can't help, maybe it will add to the chaos, in that case, what's the point of telling you?

[Mood +5000]

Wu Mingkong obviously didn't expect that Fang Xiu, who had accompanied her to meet her mother just now, would say such cold words.

Obviously, a year ago, Fang Xiu's words were much more hurtful than this sentence.

But at this moment, she felt an unprecedented coldness.

A chill enveloped the sourness, swept through the whole body, the corners of the eyes couldn't help but moisten, and the body trembled slightly.

She wanted to say, "But you're my father." ”

But seeing Fang Xiu's expressionless face, when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

"I understand ......"

The little empress held back her tears, tried not to look at Fang Xiu's eyes, and pretended to say, "I'm tired, Fang Xiang and retreat." ”

Seeing this, Fang Xiu was soft-hearted after all, sighed leisurely, and said, "Your Majesty is not curious, why is the minister so kind to Your Majesty?" ”

When Wu Mingkong heard this, his originally cold heart eased a little.

If it was placed before.

She would have rolled her eyes and replied disdainfully, I don't care......

But.

At this moment, for some reason, she was a little scared, if she said so, Fang Xiuzhen would turn around and leave.

Thereupon.

She raised her eyes to look at Fang Xiu and asked expressionlessly, "Why?" ”

Fang Xiu said leisurely: "Because of a few questions from Your Majesty, the minister suddenly realized that the minister spoiled His Majesty too much and protected him too well, so that His Majesty lost the ability to think. ”

"Those words of the minister are just to remind Your Majesty that any decision made by Your Majesty, as the emperor, will affect thousands of people and the entire Great Qian!"

"Your Majesty is in the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, you must have the world in mind, think about it all the time, and be cautious in everything."

[Mood +5000]

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu with a straight face, and the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't help falling anymore.

But the next second.

She controlled her emotions, her watery peach blossom eyes, stared at Fang Xiu, and replied: "I understand all the truths you said, but who makes you too powerful, even if I want to do something practical, I have no chance, so I can only nest in this Heart Nourishing Hall and deal with some trivial movements......"

Although the tone is blunt, there is a coquettish meaning in and out of the words.

When Fang Xiu heard this, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he said, "After a while, Your Majesty will have the opportunity to take charge on his own." ”

The voice fell.

Wu Mingkong was stunned at first, and then his delicate pretty face showed a panicked look, and he could no longer restrain the emotions in his heart, so he stood up reluctantly and asked in a trembling voice, "You want to leave me?" ”

Fang Xiu chuckled and said, "Isn't this what Your Majesty has always wanted?" ”

"That was before! I want you to stay by my side for the rest of your life! ”

"You promised me that you would always be with me, and you can't be untrustworthy!"

The scorching confession and trembling voice made Fang Xiu slightly stunned.

He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the little empress continue to ask, "Why did you leave me?" Did I let you down? ”

Fang Xiu wanted to make some jokes and tease the little empress, but when he saw her flustered eyes, he swallowed the joke back and replied, "The minister is just leaving Chang'an temporarily, and he will come back when the matter is over." ”

When Wu Mingkong heard this, his heart calmed down a little.

But soon, she realized something, looked at Fang Xiu, and asked, "Why do you want to leave Chang'an in person?" ”

Beep Pavilion

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "The minister has given His Majesty a chance to prove that what the minister just said is not the truth." ”

When Wu Mingkong heard this, his face showed a look of thought.

After a while, as if she had thought of something, she raised her eyes and stared at Fang Xiu: "You want to go to Yongzhou?" ”

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "The minister retracted his previous words, most of the time, His Majesty can still think independently. ”

Wu Mingkong was not overjoyed by this compliment, but his eyes became more flustered.

"There are so many generals in the imperial court who can fight well, why do you want to come to Yongzhou in person?"

Fang Xiu replied: "Your Majesty said before, the Yan Kingdom sent an army of 300,000, and the newly recruited soldiers of the imperial court have never experienced wars, if it weren't for a highly respected person, sitting in Yongzhou, it would be inevitable that people's hearts would fluctuate......."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the little empress:

"Yan State sends troops, it does not mean that the imperial court will definitely face the battle, let Bai Qi retreat, give up the territory north of Jiannan Road, and then send envoys to lobby Emperor Yan, which can also make Emperor Yan retreat."

Fang Xiu's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked, "In that case, why did the minister go to great lengths to send troops to attack Zhou?" ”

Wu Ming said: "Cutting Zhou is not destroying Zhou, after this battle, the imperial court recovered Yongzhou and conquered Jiannan Road, which is already an unprecedented victory." ”

Fang Xiu said with a firm face: "What the minister wants is the entire Great Zhou!" ”

In just one sentence, it is loud and magnificent.

The empress, who originally wanted to continue arguing, heard this, and subconsciously looked at Fang Xiu.

Seeing his solemn expression, he couldn't say his original words anymore.

Because she knew it in her heart.

Fang Xiu is sitting in Yongzhou, which can indeed greatly boost the morale of the front line!

It is no exaggeration to say.

Fang Xiu personally led the troops out on the march.

Even more than her, the son of heaven, who drove the expedition in person, even made the soldiers of the new army excited.

It's just that.

Once the Yan State started a war in Daqian.

Yongzhou is the front line.

Even if the guards around Fang Xiu were well protected, it was much more dangerous than staying in Jingshi.

That's it.

Wu Mingkong's face showed a complicated expression.

On the one hand, she felt that letting Fang Xiu personally go out on the expedition was indeed a good thing for the imperial court.

On the other hand, she was worried about Fang Xiu's accident in Yongzhou.

After struggling for a moment, Fang Xiu's worries finally overwhelmed his desire to make contributions.

She looked at Fang Xiu with a serious face, and said slowly:

"As long as you are alive, sooner or later I will expand my territory, if you die, everything the court has done in the past two years will be in vain.

So...... I won't let you leave the capital!

You are alive better than thousands of armies and horses, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains! ”

When Fang Xiu heard this, a black line appeared on his forehead, and he said helplessly: "The minister is just leading the troops to go to the battle, not to go to Yongzhou to die." ”

Wu Mingkong noticed his expression, his pretty face was slightly red, and said: "The sword has no eyes, and you are on the battlefield, no matter how many guards there are, no matter how thoughtful the protection is, it is inevitable that there will be accidents, I don't want to see you killed by random arrows." ”

“......”

Fang Xiu couldn't refute it for a while.

After a moment of silence.

He said in a deep voice: "The minister has decided to lead the troops to the battle......"

"I'm not sure!"

"The minister is not consulting with His Majesty, but informing His Majesty!"

"You!"

Wu Mingkong's eyes widened, staring at Fang Xiu, gritting his teeth and saying, "You are disrespectful!" It's a big rebellion! ”

Fang Xiu shrugged his shoulders with an expression of nonchalance.

"Dog traitor!"

Wu Mingkong saw that Fang Xiu was unmoved, his eyes were slightly red, and he said in a trembling voice: "You are still the same as before, everything that involves a lot of things is hidden from me.

If Qian Haonan didn't tell me today, did you plan to tell me the day before you left the capital that you would personally lead the troops? ”

Seeing this, Fang Xiu sighed in his heart, walked up to the little empress, reached out and touched her little head, and reassured: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister is more desperate than His Majesty imagined, if he is not completely sure, the minister would rather let Bai Qi retreat than lead the troops to the battle." ”

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong's face showed suspicion, his eyes full of tears, he looked at Fang Xiu, and said, "The newly recruited soldiers of the imperial court are only 200,000 together, and among these 200,000 people, there are less than 20,000 musketeers. ”

"How can you guarantee that relying on these new soldiers who have never been on the battlefield can stop the 300,000 army of Yan Kingdom."

Fang Xiu said confidently: "The minister never believes in the river, the minister says that if he can do it, he will definitely be able to do it!" ”

When Wu Mingkong heard this, his red lips opened slightly, and he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu.

"The minister has already made a decision, and it is useless for His Majesty to say more."

"If you have these times to persuade the ministers, it is better to help the ministers make more preparations, and when the time comes, you will have more capital to lead the troops to fight."

The voice fell.

The little empress was slightly stunned, her eyes showed a look of curiosity, and asked, "How to prepare?" ”

Fang Xiu didn't answer directly, stepped forward, picked up the little empress, and walked into the inner room.

Wu Ming nestled in the crook of his arm, his pretty face slightly red.

I wanted to struggle, but after thinking about it, after a while, he would leave Chang'an.

I don't know when the next time we meet, so I'll let him hold him.

A moment later.

The fair-skinned little empress stretched out her slender and straight jade legs, pressed them against Fang Xiu's legs, and pouted: "I know all day long, what does this have to do with the preparation for the expedition." ”

Fang Xiu opened the system mall, glanced at the emotional value, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "It has a lot to do with it, Your Majesty is in a happy mood, and it can bring great benefits to the ministers." ”

When Wu Mingkong heard this, his delicate little face instantly turned red, he reached out and pinched him, and said angrily: "Not serious!" ”

Fang Xiu just smiled and didn't speak.

Wu Mingkong's rippling peach blossom eyes stared at his handsome face.

Seeing him smiling and refreshed, his heart couldn't help but move.

Leaned up, leaned over his ear, and asked softly, "What you just said is true?" ”

Fang Xiu was slightly stunned, not understanding why the little empress asked this.

The next second.

Then I heard the little empress say in a trembling voice:

"Then I'll help you prepare."

Say, turn over and call the shots.

Fang Xiu raised his eyes and looked at his flushed face, and his heart couldn't help but move.

Meanwhile.

The icy system beep kept ringing.

[Mood +2000]

[Mood +2000]

............

In the blink of an eye.

It's been seven days.

The 300,000 troops of the Yan State have been assembled and stationed at the junction of the Yan State and Yongzhou.

Meantime.

Yan sent envoys to Chang'an to deliver documents.

It was clearly stated that the limit was to leave the Zhou State within three days, otherwise the Yan State would be cut down!

Moreover, both inside and outside the words, they are accusing the cadres of being reckless in their military force and invading other countries for no reason.

Of course.

When the Zhou State invaded Daqian and forcibly occupied Yongzhou.

Yan Guo also issued a similar instrument, accusing Zhou Guo.

However, the Zhou State later signed an armistice agreement with the Qianguo State and did not continue the invasion, so the countries did not send troops to intervene.

Regarding the dispatch of 300,000 troops by the Yan State.

The court was not united.

In the absence of a clear statement.

The civil and military officials were quickly divided into three camps.

One camp was headed by the military department Shangshu, advocating ignoring the threat of the Yan State and stationing troops in Yongzhou, preparing to meet the enemy.

The other camp, led by the Ministry of Rites, advocated agreeing to Yan Guo's request and withdrawing Bai Qi.

The rest of the people did not express their attitudes and watched how the situation in the court developed.

Because Fang Xiu did not make a clear statement from beginning to end.

The main peace faction and the main battle faction have always been evenly matched.

After all, the deterrent power of the Yan Guo Iron Cavalry is too strong.

Even within the Fang Party, there are divisions.

Not all members of the party supported Qian Haonan, and some also advocated peace.

As for the reason......

It was an argument that Taiwei advocated peace with Wu back then.

It is nothing more than that the enemy is too strong, the new army is too weak, and it is difficult to sustain itself on both sides.

Went through two pilgrimages.

The main peace faction and the main war faction have never reached a consensus.

Until the early pilgrimage of this day.

Fang Xiu, who had not expressed his position before, stood up and made it clear that he would not be threatened by anyone!

The situation in the court has changed.

Needless to say, even the officials who were unswerving in their original peace saw Fang Xiu's statement, and quickly changed their flags and shouted to meet the Yan Kingdom!

Some officials who were holding back their positions, seeing the decisive Fang Xiang, also realized that the wind and rain were coming, and rushed to show that they supported the war with Yan State.

The officials of the Lord and the Ministry of Rites, headed by the Ministry of Rites, died down and were panicked.

They know it in their hearts.

Fang Xiang held back the two court meetings and did not express his position, the purpose was obvious, that is, to see who wanted to compromise with Yan Guo and sweep it out of the court.

Suppressing the main peace faction and rallying the people's hearts was a common means used by the imperial court before the war.

It's just that they don't understand.

With Fang Xiang's influence in the court, why do you still want to make such a move.

To know.

Even if a considerable number of officials advocated peace, as long as Fang Xiang spoke, they would still obey Fang Xiang's decision.

Fang Xiang did this, it didn't seem to make sense.

But soon.

They understood that Fang Xiang's reason for doing this ......
