When Wei Qing heard this, his body suddenly froze, and after a moment, he got up, stood in front of the window, and shouted to the herald: "I am the prime minister, what is the urgent report on the front line?" Hurry up? ”

However, in response to him, the herald fell directly from his horse and fainted, unconscious.

Seeing this, Wei Qing chuckled in his heart.

For the herald to run with his life like this, this battle report must be very important, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 100,000 urgent.

But now the war between Da Qian and Beiyan is coming to an end, and it is basically going to end with Da Qian's victory.

And what news is worth his exhaustion?

"A victory at the front, perhaps?" Someone speculated.

Wei Qing was noncommittal, it was indeed possible to be a great victory at the front, and it was even very likely to be a victory at the front.

However, there is also a possibility that it is not good news that comes, but a list of the dead!

Wei Qing hurriedly went downstairs, beckoned everyone, carried the herald into the palace, and convened the court meeting again in the name of the prime minister of the prison state.

The civil and military officials have just gone to the court meeting, and now they are going to the court again, and there are some emotions.

But as soon as I heard that it was the report from the front, that little emotion immediately disappeared.

In their opinion, this is good news again!

Especially the military attachés, although Emperor Tianshun said that he brought all the military attaches who could fight to the front line, there were still some who were quite old in the court, or those who were not capable.

Now, after Emperor Tianshun ascended the throne, they were from the ministers of the dragon!

If Emperor Tianshun still wins a big victory in the war with Northern Yan this time, then their status will rise even higher.

Therefore, when entering the Qiande Palace, some people were arrogant and almost walked sideways.

In the past, it was the civilian officials who looked down on the uneducated military attachés, but now the military attaches have united to fight back and collectively reject the civilian officials.

After a while, in the court, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered again, and the atmosphere was solemn.

The herald woke up slowly, and when he saw the decorations in the civil and military officials and the Qiande Palace, his heart was relieved at first, and he realized that he had returned home safely.

But then he began to weep bitterly, and as he wept bitterly, he howled, "My lords! He's dead! All dead! ”

was waiting for the good news, and the civil and military officials with a smile on their faces suddenly chuckled in their hearts when they heard this.

Wei Qing reacted quickly, hurriedly stepped forward, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

"Speak clearly!"

"What died? Who died? ”

The herald looked at Wei Qing, as if he recognized that this was the prime minister, so he cried even more, and said tremblingly: "The 500,000 army is dead!" Annihilated! ”

Rumble!

As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder on the ground, and many officials in the Qiande Palace, as if they couldn't believe their ears, were dumbfounded and stunned in place.

"Ridiculous!"

"Shaft!"

"An dare to cheat the old man!"

The military attaches left behind walked out indignantly, rolled up their sleeves, and looked about to greet the heralds.

"Silence! This is the court! When your own home can't be? What kind of system does this become? Wei Qing shouted and said.

The military attachés looked at him, and even though they were a little resentful in their hearts, they did not show it.

After all, the prime minister is the head of a hundred officials, even if they have the support of Emperor Tianshun, they only dare to despise and despise ordinary civil officials, but in front of this, they really can't stand up.

Don't you see that although this person has a bad relationship with Emperor Tianshun, Emperor Tianshun still identified him as the minister of the prison state before he set out on the expedition?

Therefore, this person cannot be offended.

"Prime Minister Wei, it's not that I have to use force, it's just that this person is not only full of lies, but also dares to slander my great cadres and soldiers like this, which is really a heinous crime!"

"Yes, these days, my Daqian has won successive battles, and Beiyan has been defeated and defeated."

"When it came to his mouth, it became the annihilation of our army, isn't this a lie? Isn't this slandering our soldiers? ”

"The officers and men of our army threw their heads and spilled their blood on the front line, fighting bloodily. It's a good thing that this villain dares to slander them in front of us and defy the condemnation of the world, which is really a heinous crime! ”

"Prime Minister Wei, in my opinion, this guy is not a spy of Beiyan, and he deliberately infiltrated my big cadre as a herald. Waiting for an opportunity to lie about the military situation and confuse the public! Weichen, please behead this fang, and give me a fair hand! ”

When Wei Qing heard this, he was also a little hesitant.

Even if he has always had an ominous premonition in his heart, he feels that this campaign will not go too well.

However, the annihilation of the 500,000-strong army was so sensational and false that even he didn't believe it.

"Did you lie about the military?"

When the herald heard that he was going to behead himself, he was already in a panic, and he was terrified, and at the same time he was aggrieved.

This military situation was indeed urgent, so from the moment he received it, he hurried back, and even stayed awake for several days.

After all the hard work, I finally rushed back in the shortest possible time.

I thought that when I returned home, I would have delicious food and clean water.

Unexpectedly, what awaited him was the sin of killing his head.

But he clearly didn't do anything, why did he become a spy who fornicated with Beiyan?

The herald didn't understand, but he knew that Wei Qing's question was his only lifeline.

So while shaking his head frantically, he also took out the front-line battle report and death list on his body.

Seeing this, Wei Qing hurriedly took it.

When I saw it, I was stunned on the spot.

This character was written by a civil official of the Qing school that he sent in the past, and the civil official was deeply trusted by him, and there could be no falsehood.

And when he read the entire report word for word, his whole body froze in place, without saying a word.

After a while, he immediately opened the death list, and after reading it, he seemed to have been drained of his energy, his eyes were blank, and he fell straight back.

"Prime Minister! Prime minister! ”

There are many officials in the Qiande Palace, so naturally someone will catch them.

It's just that when everyone looked at Wei Qing like this, they also chuckled in their hearts, and some bad premonitions swelled up.

Then I opened the report and read it carefully.

The more they looked, the more ugly the officials' faces became.

The general meaning of the report is that Emperor Tianshun was carried away by the victory, and despite the obstruction of the military attachés, he went deep into the hinterland of Northern Yan.

His eagerness to win led Beiyan to seize the opportunity, first laying a trap and besieging an army of 500,000 in the valley, and then sending elite troops to cut off grain and grass.

Even, when the people of the Daqian army were panicking, they sent people to sing Daqian songs and ballads around the valley day and night.

For a time, the morale of the cadres and the army was discouraged.

Later, it was attacked by Beiyan with fire, and the valley was burned clean.

500,000 troops, and thus perished.

Xiang Longyuan, who is the Emperor of Tianshun, was captured alive by the other party!

Every official who read the report felt like a fish in his throat and was speechless.

Shame!

What a shame!
