Feeling Hu Weiyong's cruel eyes, Liu Bowen could only smile bitterly.

How could he not know what Hu Weiyong was thinking?

But at the moment, he was really worried about the situation of the imperial court's northern expedition, and he had no intention of taking into account the party struggles in the court and China that could not be put on the table.

If the Northern Expedition army is completely annihilated, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger in an instant.

What is the point of these people, even if they fight to the death in the court?

This Hu Weiyong ...... It's really short-sighted. Han Gong used to be such a far-sighted person, but now he is also old.

even acquiesced in Hu Weiyong's party to fight against differences......

Liu Bowen lowered his head and did not open his mouth to refute Hu Weiyong's words. Zhu Yuanzhang was still frowning deeply, and the doubts in his heart still did not subside.

Seeing that Liu Bowen no longer spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke: "Hu Weiyong, are you so sure that my Northern Expedition of the Ming Dynasty will not fall into a crisis?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Hu Weiyong consciously refuted Liu Bowen, and his face was complacent. Forgot for a moment and said: "The minister is willing to use the head of the item as a guarantee!" ”

"Haha, Xiang Shang's head, it's not necessary." Hu Weiyong was so determined, but it made Zhu Yuanzhang's heart let go of the big stone a little. On the one hand, he is his underage bear son, and on the other hand, he is his own powerful minister, so he naturally believes in the minister more.

And he also believes in Xu Da, in his opinion, Xu Da is indeed not a person who will abandon strategic deployment and underestimate the enemy.

Lao Zhu let go of his thoughts, and the heavy atmosphere in the palace suddenly relaxed. At this time, Lao Zhu noticed the faint morning light outside. The hour is still early, and the sky is white.

"We were worried all night, and after being relieved by Hu Qing, we felt sleepy." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile. "I'm tired of you. It's still early, so let's go back and catch up on sleep. ”

The ministers didn't dare to say anything. They all bowed and withdrew from the temple of worship. Hu Weiyong was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he only felt that he was angry, and the resentment that he had just crawled out of the nest of the beautiful concubine disappeared.

Several people went out of the hall and said goodbye to each other, and they all yawned. Only Liu Bowen was left behind, still frowning, looking worried. Everyone ignored him, and was about to step down the steps of the Jinshen Palace, but in the distance, they saw the light of a torch, which was particularly dazzling in the imperial city that had not yet been brightened, and was galloping towards the direction of the Jinshen Palace.

"Frontline Emergency! Please open the palace door! "I faintly heard that some internal officials were reporting at various levels.

"Xuan!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know when he heard it, and strode out of the palace. His voice was like a bell, and his body was like a lion's momentum.

The envoy of Hongling on a horse soon came to the front of the Jinshen Palace, and the second tiger greeted him, took the battle report in his hand, and presented the battle report to Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu opened the battle report, and an attendant immediately brought a palace lamp. With the light of the palace lamp, Zhu Yuanzhang carefully looked at the front-line battle report, and his face gradually became hideous.

"Your Majesty." Liu Bowen bowed. "Dare to ask how the battle is going on the front?"

"Bastard!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly roared and threw the battle report to the ground.

"Tiande, Tiande misunderstood me!"

Liu Bowen was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the battle report on the ground. Hu Weiyong, Li Shanchang and others didn't care about the difference between parties, and came over to inspect one after another.

I saw that the battle report read: "On the sixth day of the fifth month, Wei Guogong led his army into Lingbei and was ambushed by the Yuan generals Wang Baobao and He Zongzhe. ”

"This ......" Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others turned pale!

“…… This! Hu Weiyong was even more startled. He only felt a chill in his neck, and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was angry, with some weakness.

Your Majesty, he won't take what he just said seriously, and really take my head, right?

……

"Your Majesty! At this point, soldiers should be immediately recruited and the Great Wall should be strengthened to prevent the Yuan Court from counterattacking! "In the palace, the ministers went and returned. Liu Bowen came out of the front and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible!" Li Shanchang also stood up. "I was established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the war was peaceful, and there was no stability in various places. At this time, recruiting soldiers again to increase the army on the Great Wall will surely cause turmoil in the world! ”

"But if Meng Yuan crosses the Great Wall with a great victory, half of the northern country will be overturned immediately!" Liu Bowen said hurriedly.

"The north has been plagued by Mengyuan for a long time, and there is no one in ten people, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. Even if it is really overturned, it can come to the Japanese map! Li Shanchang retorted. Moreover, the battle report did not show that the Yanming Middle Route Army had been completely annihilated. And in the east and west route armies, there are still 100,000 elites, how do you know that these two route armies will not get the news and return to the Great Wall? ”

"The desert is vast, and the news is hard to reach. Once the Middle Route Army was defeated, the Eastern Route Surprise Army was no longer useful. It was only a matter of time before they were surrounded by the Yuan army. Liu Bowen shook his head in frustration. If it is surrounded in the desert, how difficult it is to break through! I'm afraid it's hard to get lucky. The same is true when the middle route army is ambushed. As for the western road, it was originally used for containment, and it was deeply interspersed behind enemy lines, and it was a great luck to be undefeated, how to return to help? ”

"If the two roads in the middle and east are completely annihilated, I am in danger!"

"Wei Guogong and Cao Guogong are both famous generals in the world, how can they easily wipe out the whole army?" Li Shan said.

"You all think that Wei Guogong will definitely defeat Wang Baobao in this battle, so what?" Liu Bowen reprimanded. "How can you hope for major events in the world?"

"Enough!" As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table, Liu and Li, who were tense at the bottom, were shocked, and immediately bowed their heads and bowed to the crime.

Lao Zhu did not continue to scold the two. All he felt was that his temples were jumping and his head was hurting. He waved his hand weakly: "You guys go back first." Let's think about it. ”

"Your Majesty." Liu Bowen took a step forward and said eagerly: "I hope that Your Majesty, prepare for the worst!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyes angrily, but what he saw was Liu Bowen's anxious and worried look.

“…… We got it. Mr. Berwyn, go back first. ”

The ministers bowed and withdrew from the hall again. They mingled outside the temple, their eyes full of fear and worry.

If the Northern Expeditionary Army is really annihilated, then ......

The day of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid it's going to change!

……

"Tiande misunderstands me, Tiande misunderstands me!"

In Kunning Palace, Queen Ma, who had just gotten up, was drinking small porridge with pickles, and Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly broke in, looking angry.

"Juhachi, what's going on?" Queen Ma stood up, suddenly thought of something, and her face froze. "Isn't it ......"

"Front-line battle report, on the sixth day ......of the fifth month, Tiande was ambushed for his rash advance," Zhu Yuanzhang said indignantly. He swept his sleeves and swept all the breakfast on the table to the ground. "I'm afraid that my Ming army will be wiped out!"

"This ......"

Queen Ma's face suddenly turned pale. She waved her hand, telling the frightened maids around her to kneel out quickly. then sat down with Zhu Yuanzhang in his arms and helped him stroke his back. "Are you saying that Su'er's prophecy is really ......?"

"Tiande, Tiande!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't care about any prophecy at this time. He patted his knees in annoyance, looking like he was lamenting his misfortune and angry at him. "It's good that Tiande is defeated, his whole army is annihilated, and my Northern Ming Dynasty will inevitably be hit by Meng Yuan's full force!"

"In order to raise the needs of this northern expedition, the imperial court has tightened its belt. If you fold so many elites, if you want to hold Mengyuan, you must have to recruit soldiers. ”

"At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was time for me to recuperate. At this time, I am afraid that the people in the north and south will be dissatisfied, and I will have no peace in a few years! ”

"Tiande, Tiande, I hope that I can stabilize the defeat, don't be defeated......"

When Queen Ma heard Zhu Yuanzhang praying to the sky, she could only be speechless for a while. She is not an ordinary woman, so she naturally knows Lao Zhu's difficulties. If Da Ming folded the hundreds of thousands of elites, then if he wanted to stabilize the situation again, he would definitely pay a great price.

The point is that the current situation is unknown. And the situation on the front line is changing rapidly. If the imperial court hesitated to increase troops to defend the border and missed the opportunity, Meng Yuan took the opportunity to go down in one fell swoop, and everything would be over at that time.

But if the imperial court is now spending a lot of effort to increase troops, Xu Da's side has stabilized the defeat and kept the elite of the Ming Dynasty. Isn't the court making a lot of resentment and panicking, but it has no effect?

"Heavy eight." Queen Ma suddenly blessed her heart.

"Why don't you ask Su'er anymore about the next development of the war?"
