Inside the Fengtian Temple.

Zuo Guangdou, Yuan Keli, Yang Lian and others were already kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty is angry!!"

Zuo Guangdou was not so anxious.

Decades of career, ups and downs, let Zuo Guangdou know that the more angry he is, the more he can't make a decision in a hurry.

At this time, I was furious, made a random decision, and regretted it afterwards!

"Wu Xiang was in Dacangling for three hours, not advancing an inch, and watched all the loyal troops of Xiang die on the banks of the Yangtze River!" Zhu Youzhen pinched the fold in his hand, and swayed it almost to fan Zuo Guangdou's face: "Your name is my anger?" How to calm anger? How to live in peace? If you don't send the Chinese army to supervise the army, in this world, it won't be long before you have the surname Wang! ”

"Your Majesty," Zuo Guangdou ignored Zhu Youzhen, who had lost his mind, but held a wat board and said loudly: "The military affairs of the world are not the gains and losses of one city and one place, nor can the life and death of more than 10,000 people be decided, now, Wu Xiang still has more than 100,000 troops in his hands, and the food and salary are constantly being transported to Nanjing City from all sides, and the gentry, scholars, and people of the world all take Nanjing City as the center of the world, the hearts of the people are there, the world is there, and the Son of Heaven is still the lord of the world!" ”

I don't know if I was moved by Zuo Guangdou's words, or if I was angry and calmed down, anyway, Zhu Youzhen sat back in the chair and whispered: "You know, Zuo Aiqing, I only have these 100,000 horses, if this battle is defeated again, then the world and Kyushu will really change hands." ”

Yuan Keli and Yang Lian glanced at each other.

This emperor, now it seems that in addition to being the flesh and blood of the world, there is no merit suitable for being an emperor!

The original Emperor of the Apocalypse, no matter what, was still able to follow the advice of his subordinates, and before Wang Qi rose, he also worked hard for a while.

Today's Emperor Chongzhen is really the same as no one else

Oh, by the way, the current emperor's year name, yesterday has been announced to the world, the name is Chongzhen, this year, that is, the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.

And the emperor in Beijing City, because of the existence of the parliament, did not have an era name, and was known as the first year of the republic.

"Then you guys, do you have any good suggestions for the current situation?" Chongzhen looked at a few people in the hall.

Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, Yuan Keli, Gou Ying, and the four of them are important ministers who have to be questioned every day since Chongzhen ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty," Gou Ying held the wat board, moved a step to the left, and stood in the center of the hall: "The minister has a word!" ”

"Tell me about it!" Zhu Youjian leaned forward: "Tell me about it." ”

"The prison army can be sent, and it can be replaced by the imperial history, but there is one point," Gou Ying said: "The minister thinks that the situation between the north and the south has become clear today, and my Nanjing City is inferior to him Wang Qi in terms of military affairs, but when it comes to taxes and financial resources, there are two capitals and thirteen provinces in the world, and there is no one that can be compared with Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, so it is necessary to temporarily preserve the strength and continue to fight, so as to slowly drag the enemy to death. So at present, Xiang Quanzhong has been killed in battle, and Wu Xiang and the others can't make a desperate bet and get too entangled with the enemy."

"Dragged to death?" Zhu Youzhen touched a few words, and felt that what Gou Ying said was good: "Is that to withdraw the army?" ”

"Never!" Yuan Keli immediately stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, you can't withdraw the army, now the battle in Dacangling is in a state of anxiety, if you withdraw the army at this time, the army's heart will collapse, and then there will be no more available troops on both sides of the Yangtze River, and there will be no more troops defending Nanjing City, won't it put Your Majesty in danger?" ”

"One said to withdraw the army and preserve the forces, and the other said not to withdraw and fight to the death," Zhu Youzhen suddenly became a little irritable: "Is there a quasi-idea?" ”

"Your Majesty, the current situation cannot be withdrawn," Zuo Guangdou said: "As Lord Yuan said, the current war is anxious, and we must not act lightly, if we withdraw our troops rashly from Dacangling, our army will inevitably be defeated!" ”

What's more, the other party is Wang Qi! How is it possible for you to withdraw unscathed?

However, in the second half of the sentence, Zuo Guangdou did not say it after all.

It's just to add to your troubles, so why bother?

"So, there's only one way to fight to the death?" Gou Ying sneered: "You are really cubs selling Ye Tian and don't feel distressed!" At that time, Nanjing City has no soldiers to defend and no danger to rely on, so it will be up to you to climb to the top of the city and fight with the Liaodong army led by Wang Qi. ”

"Lord Gou, now at the Imperial Meeting, you are saying this, and you have no dignity as a minister!" Yang Lian, as a royal historian, dislikes the loss of honor in front of the emperor the most, especially when the situation is so tense.

"It's Zuo Yushi," Gou Ying, as the first assistant of the cabinet, was naturally not afraid of Yang Lian, and glanced at Yang Lian with slanted eyes: "Since you are here, you must not be a person who is idle talking, but you have a good plan??? ”

"Gou Shoufu," Yang Lian didn't get angry with Gou Ying, but said lightly: "A certain thing is not a soldier." ”

"What a silent soldier!" Gou Ying sneered, and turned to face Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, please send an order to withdraw the army in order to preserve your strength!" ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice!!"

Zuo Guangdou and Yuan Keli also stepped forward.

On the throne, Zhu Youzhen is simply a tendon, blocked at both ends.

"Rong Zhen, Rong Zhen think about it. You go down first," Zhu Youzhen has always looked forward and backward, and was in a hurry, and as soon as the words came out, he hurriedly added: "You don't have to go back to the house, you stay in the palace today, I have an edict at any time!" ”

"Wait for the order."

After a while, several people withdrew from the Fengtian Temple.

Gou Ying took the lead and left first.

Yang Lian was also alone and went to the Wenhua Palace.

Only Zuo Guangdou and Yuan Keli walked side by side.

"Lord Zuo, how do you think this battle will develop?" Yuan Keli walked slowly.

"The matter has come to this, and the withdrawal of troops is far worse than a war!" Zuo Guangdou Meiyu was resolute: "Wang Qi is a person who plots rebellion at any time, but there was a sentence at the beginning, and Zuo remembered it clearly." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Keli asked with some curiosity: "I would like to hear about it." ”

"What you can't get on the battlefield, don't want to get it at the negotiation table," Zuo Guangdou paused and looked at the already gloomy sky, as if recalling something: "It's better to fight directly to the death, and completely frighten the enemy, so that he can have a sense of awe, for the barbarians, I think for those people in Beijing City, the same." ”

"I'm afraid, Your Majesty doesn't understand this truth," Yuan Keli looked back, looking at the Fengtian Hall standing in the distance.

The black clouds overwhelmed the city, and the Fengtian Hall was a little deep and lonely.

"Your Majesty has never received an orthodox imperial education, so I am a little at a loss, but it is normal," Zuo Guangdou sighed silently and added: "This requires me to wait for the ministers to teach more on weekdays." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Keli remembered Sun Chengzong, who was far away in Beijing.

It is really a pity that the emperor is acting for the tiger.

"Let's go, let's go to Wenyuan Pavilion to rest first, and in the middle of the night, maybe the Son of Heaven will summon you."

"Let's go!"

Zuo Guangdou and Yuan Keli walked side by side, walking in the white marble square of the palace.

Under the clouds, the figures of the two looked extremely lonely. (End of chapter)
