Chapter 679: Bad News Comes (Part II)
As Xiao Qian explained the matter, the hall fell into silence.
Everyone sat there silently, silent, and the expressions on their faces were extremely serious and solemn.
This can be called a thunderbolt from the blue for the Dayue Imperial Court, and anyone who knows that His Majesty the Emperor has an accident and his life and death are unknown, he will also feel a huge panic.
Even if everyone present is an important minister of the court and has experienced all kinds of storms, they are all in a trance for a while at this time, and they can't react for a while.
Finally, Xiao Qian spoke again, looked at Shen Zhou, who was sitting at the top of several people, and said, "Shen Xiang, now that you are the head of the hundred officials in the imperial court, you have to stabilize people's hearts and make up your mind when this major event happens."
Shen Zhou's body was shocked, and then he came back to his senses slightly, but his voice was a little hoarse: "What the queen said is that the most important thing now is that we, the important ministers of the court, cannot be chaotic, otherwise Jinling, and even all parts of the south of the Yangtze River will be in chaos because of this."
When he opened his mouth, the others echoed him: "Yes, we must agree on a charter as soon as possible to deal with the current situation."
Guo Chong followed: "I think the most important thing now is ***, and we must not let the news of His Majesty's distress reach the ears of the people below, especially the ordinary soldiers and ordinary people!"
Zhuge Qingyun frowned: "How can you hide this? General Chen's men and horses on the front line will inevitably keep transmitting the situation back in the future, so we can't let them not enter the city, right?"
"The military newspaper is naturally going to be sent to the Ministry of War, so we will intercept all the news at the Ministry of War and prevent it from spreading." Guo Chong said, and looked at Shen Zhou deeply, "Shen Xiang, when Your Majesty left, he handed over all the important affairs of the imperial court to you, so please also give an order to let the officials and others of the military department strictly guard the secrets, otherwise they will be punished for plotting misdeeds!"
"This ......" Shen Zhou hesitated slightly, he really couldn't compare with Guo Chong in terms of courage.
"Shen Xiang, it's about the stability of the imperial court, but there can be no more kindness of a woman!" Guo Chong quickly got up again and bowed deeply to him.
"Good...... All right. I'll go to the military department and give an order later, so that the officials over there will cooperate with the court."
"One more point, the other military offices on the front line also have to be noted." Zhuge Qingyun thought of it again, and said in a deep voice, "If the barbarian soldiers in the southwest and the soldiers of the Jiangnan Army know that something happened to Your Majesty, I'm afraid they will also be in chaos. Therefore, the news must be passed on to General Yan and General Xiao as soon as possible, so that they can deal with it carefully."
"Well, I'll do that." Guo Chong immediately took over the matter.
Although the Uyi Division is still secretly being prepared, his subordinates already have several channels to get the news to the frontline army as soon as possible. And he also believes that with the identity and ability of Yan Hu and Xiao Keding, he will definitely properly deal with the impact of this change.
Shen Zhou then added: "Another important point is not to let them withdraw in a hurry, how was it arranged before, just continue to fight and capture the city!"
"The news from General Chen that this time it was not the Liangzhou army that ambushed them, but the remnants of the three parties in the south of the Yangtze River, so the Liangzhou army still doesn't know what happened. But once we retreat, they will notice that the situation has changed, and maybe they will counterattack and kill them."
"Shen Xiang thinks about it, I will arrange it." Guo Chong agreed again.
Listening to them make arrangements with each word, Xiao Qian's heart finally fell back to most of it.
It seems that Sun Lang really didn't believe in the wrong person and used the wrong person, even if he suddenly encountered such a huge change, these important ministers could still deal with it in an orderly manner.
Of course, she trusted her brother more, and at this time, she looked at Xiao Kedi, who had been silent: "General Xiao, the security and defense in Jinling City will depend on you a lot in the future."
Xiao Kedi immediately clenched his fists and responded: "The queen can rest assured, the minister will definitely defend Jinling and prevent any chaos in the city!"
Guo Chong also looked at him: "There are also the remnants of the Zonghenghui, Buddhism, and Green Forest bandits who are hidden in the shadows and may act at any time, and you and your soldiers under you also need to pay more attention to it, General Xiao, and you and your soldiers must not be allowed to spread rumors in the city and lead to chaos!"
Several people nodded in agreement, this point is indeed quite crucial, with the style of those guys, after setting up an ambush to attack the Northern Expeditionary Army, there will inevitably be a corresponding aftermath
Recruit in Jinling.
"Yes, I will strengthen the patrol, and there will be more screening at the city gates!" Xiao Kedi agreed again.
He was actually the most nervous of the people, and he felt the pressure come over him. But in front of everyone, he is not good at expressing it.
It wasn't until the coping strategy was determined that the expressions on everyone's faces relaxed a little, and then they looked at Xiao Qian, who was sitting at the top, obviously anxious and worried, and was about to give birth: "Queen, please relax your mind, don't worry too much, Your Majesty may come back when she will come."
"Yes, Queen, Your Majesty, he is so skilled in martial arts that he can't stop him with a hundred or ten people, let alone only one person. Even if they are defeated, there are ways to get out......
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he will be blessed with great fortune, even if he encounters some dangers, he will be able to turn evil into good fortune......
In the face of their relief, Xiao Qian just smiled reluctantly: "I know that he will definitely come back safely, you don't have to worry too much about me, as long as Jinling is stable and the front-line soldiers are at ease, I can rest assured."
"If nothing else, even for the sake of him and my children, I will definitely survive......
Speaking of this, she subconsciously touched her stomach again, but the expression in her eyes became firm.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
What's more, she Xiao Qian has never been a weak woman.
When several people saw him say this, they were finally relieved, and they didn't stay any longer, so they got up and said goodbye.
Next, there are things that need to be done by them, and they can't afford to waste their time.
Only Xiao Kedi paused slightly as he left: "Qian...... Queen, I will have a henchman army to help guard the palace."
"Well, the safety of Jinling is entrusted to you, second brother." Xiao Qian nodded slightly, knowing that the other party had arranged this way to ensure her safety.
On this day, in Jinling City, since noon, many people have clearly felt that the atmosphere in the city has suddenly become solemn.
Not only were there more soldiers and horses patrolling the streets than usual, but even the interrogation and search of several city gates was stricter. That's not all, some people also saw several important adults in the DPRK and China began to move around frequently, as if they were making arrangements for the upcoming big event.
Of course, this doesn't matter to ordinary people.
Only some people with other intentions have begun to operate in the shadows at this time, and they have also begun to come into contact with each other.
But what they didn't know was that when they made a move, a pair of eyes also began to stare at them......
