This time, the flood they had been talking about for a long time really appeared in front of their eyes.

The ability of the flood to cover is amazing, and it doesn't take long to see the flood water engulfing the riverbank, carrying flowers and trees onto the riverbank.

Ah Cha looked helpless, and at the same time a little happy.

Fortunately, she ordered in advance to let all the men on the shore retreat to a higher place, otherwise with the devouring power of the flood, they would have been swallowed up long ago.

But for the first time, she realized how small man is in the face of the sheer power of nature.

Human forces were destined to be unable to withstand the onslaught of the flood.

"Let's go, let's go see what the lifeboats are doing."

The tower was on a high place, and for a while the flood would not spread to them, and they would have a chance to see the people again.

At the same time, in the imperial palace, the emperor did not know anything about it.

"How can this be true? This right phase doesn't take me seriously at all! ”

As he spoke, the Emperor angrily smashed a teacup.

"Bang-"

The crisp sound of crumbling ceramics echoed through the main hall.

The corners of Jinlan's mouth twitched, but he didn't step forward to dissuade him.

It's really not that she said, just the stinky temper of the dog emperor, he can get angry eight times a day for the right minister's affairs.

It is said that the emperor is angry and corpses are thousands of miles away, but she only sees cowardice from the dog emperor.

For some reason, the Dog Emperor's anger was basically limited to words, and there were almost no actions on the surface.

She also tried arching fire a few times, but the Dog Emperor was indifferent.

It seems that the dog emperor still has a little bit of maintenance for his lackey.

"Lan'er, what do you think I should do with a scum like Youxiang?"

Look, the Dog Emperor's own emotions couldn't be relieved, so he cued it on himself.

However, her acting career is not over yet, so she can only continue to respond: "The concubine doesn't know." ”

"But the right minister is reluctant to return to Beijing, so he must have unspeakable hardships."

The emperor's expression became a little dark, Jinlan knew that there was a play, and continued to defend the right minister.

"Your Majesty doesn't want to blame the right minister, he led an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress the thieves, naturally there will be many difficulties, maybe it is not good to report to Your Majesty, so he temporarily chose to resist the order and disobey it."

Every time Jin Lan said one more word, the dog emperor's panting was a little heavier, and his face became more gloomy.

Yes, he has forgotten that the right minister has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and he dares to resist and disobey the order.

Just when he was still thinking about it, Zhang Ming hurriedly came to report with a letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, the goddess has sent a letter."

The Divine Maiden's Letter?

The emperor has received several letters from Ah Cha in the past few days, but the content of the letters is too vague, and there are still many doubts in his heart that have not yet been solved.

Now that he heard that another letter had come, he was even more overjoyed, and swept away the unhappiness in his heart.

"Quickly present the letter from the goddess to me!"

Zhang Ming quietly exchanged glances with Jinlan and honestly handed over the letter.

His duty as the deputy commander of the forbidden army was not to deliver a message to the emperor, but today he saw it halfway through, and when he knew that the matter was urgent, he specially stopped it.

If he didn't hand over some things to the Dog Emperor in person, maybe he would be stopped halfway by someone with a heart, and the gains would outweigh the losses at that time.

The emperor read this letter for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became.

"What a right one! How dare you deceive me! ”

Well?

Jinlan heard the interest and secretly raised his eyebrows.

Ah Cha: This is to tell the emperor the last bit of truth before the flood comes.

Sure enough, before she could continue to think about it, the Dog Emperor had a big reaction.

"Good! Good! Okay—"

"I think he's really at the end of the day!"

"Someone! Spread my will, I want the right minister to rush back to the capital within twelve hours, otherwise I will punish him for the nine clans! ”

Twelve hours.

That's only one day.

If the holy decree of 800 miles is urgently transmitted to the ears of the right minister, the right minister will set off immediately, and he will be able to barely catch up with it day and night.

But there is a downside to this.

If there is a little problem in any link in the middle, the nine clans of the right phase will be completely lost.

Jin Lan and Zhang Ming exchanged glances, hid the smile in their eyes, put on a serious face, and knelt straight in front of the Dog Emperor.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"After all, there are still 100,000 troops in the hands of the right minister, if he hears the news, maybe he will be angry and do something else!"

Zhang Ming also knelt on the ground with her and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter must not be done!" The right minister's henchmen are very powerful, and if they rashly punish their nine clans, there will be a lot of turmoil for us Daxing! ”

"Then you say, if I don't punish him for the nine clans, how can I still take such chaotic ministers and thieves?"

As he spoke, the emperor threw the letter sent by Ah Cha in front of Jinlan.

Jinlan picked up the letter and admired it carefully.

Not to mention, Ah Cha has the means to deal with the Dog Emperor.

In the letter, he very vaguely mentioned that he used means to control King Ding'an and his subordinates.

However, because the right minister was unkind and unjust in the army, he withheld the food and grass of the soldiers, which caused the morale of the army to fluctuate, and in order to avoid bigger problems, she specially guided these soldiers into the city.

Of course, Ah Cha also specifically mentioned that she was using the highest power given to her by the emperor to mobilize the military, government, and finance.

Therefore, after reading this letter, the emperor directed his anger at the right minister.

And Jinlan also guessed the effect that Khat wanted.

"Your Majesty, what the right minister did is a bit ridiculous, but his heart is also to encircle and suppress the thieves for us, he may be afraid that you will punish him, so he is deceiving."

"There is less than 10,000 troops in the hands of the right minister, if you punish him of the nine clans, it is hard to guarantee that he will make some moves under impulse."

"The minister thinks that what the concubine said is very reasonable."

Jin Lan's persuasion was sincere, and there was a Zhang Ming beside him who was in charge of praising him, and the dog emperor's mood was a little calmer.

"Do you have an idea?"

Well, the Dog Emperor finally got to the point.

Jin Lan pursed her lips in embarrassment, and hesitated: "Your Majesty, the concubine has an idea, but it's just ......."

"Just how?" The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Lan'er, even if you say it, I won't blame you." ”

This is what the Dog Emperor himself said.

Then you can't blame her for talking nonsense.

A trace of cunning quickly crossed Jinlan's eyes, and he continued to speak along with what he had just said.

"It's just that the concubine's idea is probably a bit bold, and it is necessary to first issue an urgent order to summon the right minister back to Beijing, and then send people to ambush outside the capital......"

At this point, Jinlan deliberately stopped again.

"So you're going to send someone to arrest the right minister on the spot?"

Who knew that Jinlan shook his head solemnly, "No, I want to escort the right minister back to the capital safely and see Your Majesty." ”

When the emperor heard this, he was not happy, "What do I do when I see such rebellious ministers and thieves?" ”

If he could, he really wanted to find an opportunity to kill a rebellious minister and thief like Youxiang on the spot.

But Jinlan's next words made his eyes light up.

"Your Majesty can temporarily stabilize the right prime minister's henchmen by doing this, and then take him into the palace to reward him, and at the same time, he can secretly send people to detain the right prime minister's henchmen first."

Her goal is clear.

Let the right prime minister go away in the heavy rain for a while, so that he and his lackeys can relax a little in their hearts, and finally in the name of rewarding, they simply wiped out the right minister's henchmen.

Of course, she wasn't that kind, just to give advice to the Dog Emperor.

So after she saw Emperor Dog's thoughtful appearance, it was time for her to add: "It's just that the right minister's henchmen are distributed in the court, and Your Majesty still has to be screened when selecting and seizing the henchmen." ”

Her hint was already obvious.

After listening to her words, the emperor turned his gaze directly to Zhang Ming.

The forbidden army is a man he can mobilize at will, and if he wants to select and send manpower, he can only find a suitable one from the forbidden army.

And Uncle Jiang, the commander of the forbidden army, has always been very close to the right minister, and even Uncle Jiang's official reinstatement this time is the right minister's plea.

Then the only thing he could choose was Zhang Ming in front of him.

Although Zhang Ming was also the prince's staff in the past, he had been his personal guard, and he had made meritorious contributions, and he was dedicated to himself, and he would never have anything to do with the right minister.

Thinking of this, a strong sense of trust rose in the emperor's heart.

"Zhang Ming! I'm going to give you a mission! ”

Zhang Ming's prostrate body on the ground trembled slightly, and he raised his voice, "The minister is here!" ”

"I want you to carry everyone on your back, and secretly dispatch a part of the forbidden army to go to the city where the right minister returned to Beijing first, and lay an ambush all the way to escort him back to Beijing safely."

"Then all the henchmen of the right prime minister will be detained."

"You can do it?"

Zhang Ming deliberately hesitated, and after a while he said, "Can the minister ...... Can do ......"

With such a weak appearance, the emperor was unhappy when he saw it.

"I ask you can do it?!"

"You can do it!" This time, Zhang Ming replied extremely simply, but his tone became hesitant again, "It's just...... The minister did not know which of the right minister's henchmen were, nor did he know how many men should be deployed. ”

Some questions should be left to the superior to think about, and he is only responsible for implementation.

At that time, even if someone with a heart asks, he can summarize it highly with a sentence of His Majesty's will.

But his question really reminded the emperor.

Speaking of which, he has been the emperor for so many years, and he has always favored the right minister, but he has not investigated the specific forces of the right minister at all.

Jin Lan saw the opportunity, and came to his side and took the initiative to suggest.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the question of the deputy commander of the forbidden army is not unreasonable."

"If our manpower doesn't even know the specific forces of the right minister, and accidentally slips through the net when we act, it will be detrimental to our action."

The Emperor listened, "So you mean that I want to investigate the forces of the Right Prime Minister first?" ”

Jinlan nodded, "That's exactly what the concubine meant. ”

Now that the eldest princess of the court has won over the vast majority of people, some of the remaining henchmen are stubborn and stubborn.

As long as they can take advantage of this opportunity to persuade the Dog Emperor to thoroughly investigate the power of the right minister, and then borrow the emperor's hand to remove the right minister, then their layout in the court will be basically completed.

However, Jinlan is also very clear, these words are very clear, and in practice, I am afraid that it will be quite difficult.

The right prime minister has also been in business in the DPRK for many years, and his henchmen include not only some lowly officials, but also some of the former princelings.

If you want to clear it in a short time, I'm afraid that you will encounter a lot of resistance.

At that time, it was bound to lead to civil strife.

But now Khat is still fighting the flood in the fiefdom, and if the civil strife starts too early, it will not be conducive to Ah Cha's plan.

Thinking of this, her expression was a little cold.

"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know what to say."

Now he believes in Jinlan very much.

It's rare to have a wonderful person by his side who can be both thoughtful and considerate, and he naturally won't say anything about her.

So the emperor waved his hand very simply, "Lan'er, just say it." ”

Haha, this trick is really useful for the Dog Emperor.

Jin Lan secretly laughed in his heart for a while before he said: "Your Majesty, although the concubine doesn't know how many henchmen there are in the right minister, the concubine understands a truth: cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again." ”

After listening to her words, the emperor's expression sank, and he muttered in his mouth, "Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again?" ”

Yes, if you can't wipe out the right minister's henchmen this time and let the right minister's power grow, then what authority will you have as an emperor in the future?

If the right minister's henchmen continue, then his own emperor will be considered to be the end.

It's time for him to make a decision.

"It's because I favor the right minister too much on weekdays, and I believe him credulously that caused such a big disaster."

"Wait until I find out the power of the right minister, and then go to pick up the right minister back to Beijing, and then I will definitely not let them go!"

"I have already decided, I will not take the right minister back to Beijing first, and go directly to touch the forces of the right minister!"

Yo, the Dog Emperor's order has finally come down to the point.

While breathing a sigh of relief for Ah Cha's follow-up plan, Jinlan put on a look of worship and bent down slightly, "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

Seeing her like this, a trace of anger flashed in Zhang Ming's eyes, but he still saluted.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The emperor, who was praised in this way, was in a better mood again, and waved his hand, "Deputy Commander Zhang, you go down first, and I will give you some side rewards later." ”

The emperor suddenly wants to give himself a reward?

Zhang Ming was a little surprised, and quickly exchanged glances with Jinlan.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After speaking, he hurriedly withdrew.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is very curious." Jin Lan bewitchingly climbed onto the neck of the Dog Emperor and asked softly, "I wonder what reward you plan to give to Deputy Commander Zhang to fulfill his loyal heart?" ”

A deep smile rose on the emperor's lips, and a pair of big hands moved wildly on her body, "Lan'er has always been very smart, why don't you guess?" ”

Dog Emperor, it's time to guess for yourself!

God knows how much Jin Lan scolded the Dog Emperor in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be that curious and coquettish face on her face.

"Your Majesty, the concubine really doesn't know~"

"Why don't you just tell the concubine~"

But the Dog Emperor closed his eyes in enjoyment and listened to her coquettish voice motionlessly.

If he could, Jinlan would really like to uncover his hypocritical face now.

Bah!

If she hadn't gotten some news first so that she could tell Zhang Ming as soon as possible, so that she could have made some coping measures earlier, why would she have made compromises here.

I don't know how long she has been coquettish like this, but the dog emperor finally enjoyed it almost and opened his eyes.

"Commander Najiang is the right minister's person, and I don't plan to use him anymore, so I'm going to transfer him to an idle position in the military department."

"The position of commander of the forbidden army who is idle will be handed over to Commander Zhang."

As soon as the emperor said that the emperor had sold Guan Zi for a long time, Jin Lan began to celebrate in his heart.

You must know that the most difficult point in their plan to break through the imperial city is that Uncle Jiang is still in charge of the forbidden army, and Zhang Ming has always been at odds with him, so there are very few possibilities to bypass Uncle Jiang.

Originally, they were already planning to make great sacrifices to attack the imperial city, who knew that God would be able to give them such a big surprise.

There is no obstacle to attacking the Imperial City in the future, and their actions can basically be regarded as unimpeded.

As for Uncle Jiang's eyesore, the Dog Emperor seems to have promoted the position of the military department servant, and he has become the emperor's favored courtier, and there is still a great hope that he will succeed to the post of secretary of the military department.

But Jin Lan knew very well that with the level of disgust that the Dog Emperor was with him now, let alone favoring him, he was afraid that he was looking for a suitable opportunity to get rid of Uncle Jiang completely.

Even though she had thousands of thoughts in her heart, she still wanted to express her praise for the Dog Emperor.

"Your Majesty is so holy, presumably Commander Jiang ...... No, Jiang Shizhong and Commander Zhang will thank you for your support when they know about it. ”

The emperor was praised for his physical and mental pleasure, but said that the situation on the right side of the prime minister was a little dire.

Because the flood rose so fast, they were unprepared, and in just a moment of incense, they watched the flood spread from the river and went straight to the barracks.

At present, there is a lot of stagnant water in many places in the barracks.

But what is worse is that the height of the water is still rising.

At a critical time, the staff rarely played the role of a little think tank and took the initiative to persuade the right minister.

"Master, we must evacuate, otherwise the height of the water level will rise, and this part of our camp will be completely submerged."

But is the right minister a person who listens to persuasion?

"This official has already seen it, this water level will not rise again, we just stay here."

Only by staying here can they prove to the emperor that they have been waiting for the opportunity to encircle and suppress the rebels.

And he also firmly believed that with the manpower and power of Ah Cha, the city must have been in chaos now because of the flood.

As long as they hold on a little longer, they will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Seeing that the staff did not succeed in persuasion, the adjutant general couldn't stand it.

"Boss, this flood is not trivial, if we don't evacuate in time, it will be difficult for the remaining soldiers in the army to have a chance to live, and our remaining part of the grain and grass will also be flooded."

"In this rainy weather, if we don't evacuate in time, then we will be completely besieged by floods."

"Please think twice about the coach......"

The adjutant general, an iron man who has been working hard in the army for a long time, also has tears in his eyes, and he said it sincerely.

He knew very well that now persuading the right minister to leave would be their last chance to live.

Hearing him say this, the anger of the right minister suddenly rose again.

"As the official said, the flood will not have a ...... for us"

But before he could finish speaking, the curtain of the commander's tent was lifted, and a soldier hurriedly broke in.

"Boss, the places in our army that are relatively close to the shore have been flooded!"

"Now the flood is approaching the manager's tent!"

It's okay that he didn't say the latter sentence, and as soon as he said it, whether it was a staff member or an adjutant general, he invariably took a breath of cold air.

"Shhhh

Facing a few pairs of staring straight at him, the right minister couldn't say anything in his heart, even if he had tough words.

He's scared of death, too.

He was not allowed to evacuate because the flood had not yet threatened his life.

But the flood was already approaching his tent, so how could he stay any longer?

"Hurry up and inform the whole army! Evacuate now! ”

"Evacuate to higher ground!"

After giving this order, the right minister originally wanted to turn his wheelchair and leave quickly, but he stopped and added.

"Remember to bring all our supplies!"

Yes?

They heard it right.

Evacuated at this time, and still have to bring supplies?

The staff and lieutenant general looked at him puzzled.

"Master, do you have to bring all the supplies?"

It's the last time to escape, and bringing so many supplies will cause a lot of burden to the soldiers.

But the right minister was not aware of the problem at all.

"That's right! You have to bring them all! ”

"If there is a shortage of any supplies in the end, this official will ask you!"

After saying that, he ignored the instructions to the guards who specially pushed his wheelchair.

"Don't hurry up and take this official to a higher place!"

Forehead......

The staff and the lieutenant general glanced at each other and secretly reached a consensus.

The right prime minister is now old, and the decision is not very reasonable, so they should come according to the actual situation.

In this way, the army of the right minister soon received the news that he was going to evacuate desperately.

And the place of evacuation is very unusual.

Part of it coincided with the evacuation route of the right phase, retreating a hundred miles to the higher mountains.

The other part is to let them go to the nearest city controlled by Ah Cha.

Of course, this is not that they sent some spies to spy on the situation, but based on the physical condition of these soldiers.

Not long after, Ah Cha, who had already finished inspecting the lifeboat, was about to go in the direction of the altar when he received instructions from the guards guarding the castle.

"Lord Goddess, now a team of soldiers from the Right Prime Minister's army has come to surrender, do we want to accept it?"

The kat who received the news was a little incredulous.

The people in the right prime minister's army who still want to surrender have all entered the city a few days ago, aren't the rest of the people who are desperate to follow the right minister?

How could you suddenly come to Chengcheng when the flood was already coming?

"Zuoqiug, you go find a small boat and go to the castle tower to see the situation."
