Unlike the predictions of Zhao Hengyi and others, the handling of Song Ying'an and Xuanziying above the court was not as urgent as imagined.

The most difficult problem for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the high-ranking emperor at the moment is how to appease the barbarians who have pierced the bluff and paper paste of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Those nobles from the grassland, in addition to asking for a large amount of property and women, also put forward all kinds of extremely strange demands in the eyes of the court.

For example, the Yi market on the border must be opened at all times, the safety of caravans to the steppe must be guaranteed in the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom, and a large number of blacksmiths and other craftsmen must be provided as slaves.

The emperor and the ministers were extremely surprised, could this be the appetite of the nobles from the steppe?

In their opinion, these needs can be obtained through negotiation, and there is no need to make a big move and use swords and soldiers, after all, although the law in the Great Yan Kingdom clearly stipulates that slaves are not allowed to be raised, in fact, those slaves and maids who have signed a contract of work for thirty or even fifty years are not much different from slaves, not to mention those poor people who can be bought in the tooth shop.

On the contrary, it was the astronomical amount of goods and food that made everyone in the court feel quite heartbroken.

But the situation is stronger than people, and today's Dayan Kingdom is like a rich man who has been kicked over by a thief, with steel knives on his neck, first save his life, and then say that some floating wealth should be abandoned.

It wasn't until the end, when the barbarians proposed to claim the head of Zhang Chaoyang, the veteran of the Yonggu City, that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were silent.

Since the barbarian Koubian, except for the first line of Yonggu City, the defenders of other border towns have all collapsed with a touch in the face of the barbarian iron cavalry, but only in Yonggu City, the army of the Great Yan Kingdom has not only held the defensive line, but even given the incoming enemy a head-on blow!

At the beginning, when the good news of the Yonggu City border army slashing thousands reached the Beijing Division, everyone was happy, and the fireworks were set off on the streets, which was more lively than the New Year.

The princes in the court are also celebrating each other, and countless excerpts of singing praises and virtues make the officials smile, even at the moment when the entire situation of the Great Yan Kingdom is collapsing, the only one who is still holding on to the defense area has not been lost, and there is still only the Yonggu City guarded by Zhang Chaoyang.

If it is because the barbarians are fierce, they behead their own generals, how should the people of the world view the court and the current emperor?

But if you ignore the requirements of the barbarians, who knows what kind of means those barbarians like hungry wolves will take to continue to persecute the Great Yan Kingdom?

The state affairs are difficult, which is really sighing!

In the face of such an outrageous request, even an official family who is the Son of Heaven does not dare to make a rash decision, even if he, like everyone, already has an answer in his heart.

This is a dark black cauldron, whoever speaks first will be detained on whose head this black cauldron will be detained!

Self-beheading generals, such a faceless thing, I am afraid that it has been a hundred years and thousands of years, and future generations will mention it, and they will be scolded!

is an official, no matter how he comes in private, this reputation, especially the name behind him, is quite important, and the emperor who has been trained by civil officials since childhood naturally understands these truths, even if he already has a plan to sacrifice Zhang Chaoyang and coax the barbarians back to his own territory as soon as possible, he will never say it.

The young official sat on the top of the court, a pair of encouraging eyes wandering around, all the ministers, it is time for you to solve my problems, don't let me down!

But all the ministers lowered their heads one by one, not to mention taking the initiative to stand up for the black pot, and they didn't even make eye contact with each other...... At this time, who took the initiative to jump out, I am afraid that I will be scolded for thousands of years!

The young official's face gradually became gloomy.

In the past, these ministers kept saying that the lord was worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliated the ministers to death, all of them were loyal, but when it was really time for you to be loyal, they were like wooden clay sculptures, could they force the reputation of the only general in the imperial court to fight, and let me personally bear it?

Waste, all waste!

The young officials sat on the high dragon chair and looked down, only to feel that the civil and military ministers, who seemed to be quite loyal and amiable in the past, were all hateful at this time, and all of them had bad intentions!

These courtiers want to put me in an unrighteous situation!

If I really sent a will to Yonggu City and forced to death the only military general who could fight in this dynasty, how should I say it in the future history books? What kind of cruel and mediocre person should I be portrayed?

Just when the air in the main hall was almost frozen, and the official family could hardly help but burst into a rage, someone finally stood up.

It's just that no one expected that the person who took the initiative to stand up was Chang Wenge, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

This Chang Daren, who was born in the big clan of Gangneung Mansion, acted the most prudently in the past, although he did not make any achievements in office, but his official reputation was good, and his colleagues in the court always had to praise him a few words.

Now that this steady Chang Da man took the initiative to stand up, many people couldn't help but show surprise in their eyes.

Regardless of whether he agrees to the barbarians' request or not, no matter whether the veteran Zhang Chaoyang will lose his head, once he wades into the troubled waters, it will definitely be difficult to get out cleanly!

With the knowledge of ordinary adults, how can they not understand?

"Your Majesty, the barbarians are rude, and they actually ask my Great Yan Kingdom to cut off their own arms, which is simply a big joke in the world!"

Chang Wenge's sonorous and powerful voice sounded above the court, and countless people had begun to faintly worry, could it be that this Chang Lord was full of iron bones, unwilling to succumb to the obscenity of the barbarians, and chose to die and break the net?

However, at present, the Great Yan Kingdom has no soldiers capable of fighting, and 100,000 young men have been killed at the Yonggu City Wharf, not to mention continuing to wage war with the barbarians, I am afraid that future cultivation will be greatly affected.

In this case, if you want to continue to fight against the barbarians, isn't Chang Wenge Chang worried about the collapse of the Great Yan Congress?

Today's situation is extremely dangerous, the entire Great Yan Kingdom is in danger, and if you make a mistake, it will be a disaster for the country!

Isn't it clear to the old and respectful Chang adults?

Could it be that this Ministry of Works...... There are other thoughts, including evil intentions!

The official sitting on the high dragon chair, his expression also became subtle.

If Chang Wenge said the words of the veteran Zhang Chaoyang, what should I do?

The barbarian is ferocious, I have been annoyed and afraid, and coaxing them home early is the right way, a Ministry of Industry Shangshu does not want to solve problems for me, but provokes disputes at this time, what is An's mind?

In the eyes of his colleagues, he was surprised, and even a few old foxes had deep meaning in their eyes, and even the expressions of today's officials showed displeasure, Chang Wenge didn't dare to delay, and quickly finished the rest of the words.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he should send the barbarian's unreasonable words to Yonggu City and inform General Zhang to shake the morale of the border army!"
