The Demon Clan of the Immortal Domain and the Demon Clan of the Buddha Kingdom, although they cannot be compared with the Ten Thousand Demon City in terms of military strength, but when the two parties are combined, they can still piece together hundreds of thousands of troops, plus the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom give them special strength, so the overall strength can be regarded as equal to the Ten Thousand Demon City.

If it weren't for the emergence of a demon emperor in the Ten Thousand Demon City, who was able to obtain the blessing of the rules of the plane, and was slightly higher than the King of Jinpeng and the King of Zen Elephant in terms of strength, I am afraid that the demon clan would have already been in the bag of the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom.

However, even if the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom have not been able to get the entire Demon Clan, the Demon Clan's strength in their hands now is a force that should not be underestimated, at least Tongguò's invasion this time has successfully suppressed the Tang Empire, and won enough voice for the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom in the human race.

When the Jiangnan War was about to begin, in the imperial hall of Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress faced the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and for the first time felt isolated and helpless.

Almost no one in the court cared about their opinions, whether it was a civil official or a military attaché, they all stood in the court with an indifferent attitude, no one would pay attention to any words of the two saints, although the war in Jiangnan was in full swing, but the court meeting seemed unusually deserted.

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress glanced at each other, in fact, both of them knew very well that the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces were instructed by the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom, which was to deliberately snub the court, so that the orders of the two saints could not be conveyed correctly.

Originally, this situation would not have happened, but because the war in Songjiang City was urgent, the second sage and the master discussed, let the generals of the martial arts academy go out and lead the army to rush to the aid of Songjiang City, and at the same time, the disciples of the second sound and the academy were restrained by the three sects, and as a result, there was no one in the court who stood up to speak for the second sage.

It can be said that the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen of the Tang Dynasty today have almost been completely hollowed out by the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom, if it weren't for the academy still controlling the transmission of some news, I'm afraid that the two saints wouldn't even have been able to know what was happening outside in time.

Facing the silent civil and military officials in the court. The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress wanted to be angry, but looking around at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress did not know where to vent the fire in their hearts.

At that time, I am afraid that the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom will be even more happy, because the Immortal Domain and the Buddha Kingdom actually want the two saints to do this, so that the two saints will completely lose the hearts of the people.

At that time, the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom can use the Three Religions to justifiably subvert the Tang Dynasty, or oust the two saints from the throne and replace them with an emperor who can listen to the words of the Immortal Realm and the Buddha Kingdom to ascend the throne.

Come to think of it. Although he was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, the two sages had to let it go, trying not to blame and punish the civil and military officials, and even went to the court every day, and the civil and military who accompanied the Manchu Dynasty stared at each other here, and no one said even a word.

However, for many days in a row, the civil and military officials in the court gradually became a little impatient, after all, they stood in the court for several hours every day, and the weather became hotter. No one will feel comfortable.

So after some civil and military officials discussed, and after consulting some immortal elders of the three sects, the early court decided to create some trouble for the two saints, and could not let the two saints sit firmly in the court like this.

So. When the second saint sat in the court, already lowering his eyebrows and not going to pay attention to the court, an official suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, Niangniang." Wechen has something to play. ”

The sudden court performance made the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen feel a little surprised, and they hurriedly raised their heads and followed the sound to look over. I saw that an official had already come out of the ranks, bowed down and saluted the two saints, and it seemed that there was indeed a report to stand up and say, which made the two saints feel a little surprised.

After a short period of coldness, the Holy Emperor coughed and said, "Well, what do you have to do?"

The official was very direct, and he lowered his head without being humble or arrogant and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, now that the war in Jiangnan has lasted for half a year, but Jiangnan has not been recaptured from the demon clan so far, Weichen thinks, should we send people to negotiate with the demon clan?"

Hearing this, the Holy Emperor frowned slightly, looked at the official, and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you think we should negotiate with the Demon Clan?" It seems that now we are still in control of Songjiang City, and the Demon Clan seems to be at a disadvantage in Jiangnan, right?"

The official didn't expect that Jiangnan would be in such a situation, in fact, he and several officials wanted to break the silence in the court, completely wanting to show merit to the three sects.

It's just that they themselves are civil officials, and the news in Jiangnan is very closed now, so they don't know about the war in Jiangnan, and when they see that the two saints are resigned to the silence in the court, they take it for granted that the war in Jiangnan has failed, so the two saints will let the three instigation officials be so presumptuous.

But now after listening to the Holy Emperor's words, the officials immediately understood that they were probably mistaken, and the war in Jiangnan was still in the upper hand of the Tang Empire for the time being.

In particular, I heard that Songjiang Castle was in the hands of the imperial court, and although this official did not understand the use of soldiers, he also knew that Songjiang Castle was an important place along with Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and if he wanted to pass through Guò Tianjiang safely, he had to pass through Songjiang Castle.

And once Songjiang City is controlled, it means that the imperial court has the right to control the entire Jiangnan war situation, and the initiative is completely in the hands of the Tang Empire.

At this moment, the official who stood up couldn't help but secretly think that he was really too careless, and he didn't even understand the current situation, so he stood up and wanted to provoke the second saint.

Seeing that the official bowed his head and was silent, the Holy Emperor sneered and said: "Aiqing, if you don't mention it, I almost forgot about it, now the situation in Jiangnan has basically stabilized, Songjiang City, Linjiang City and Wangjiang City are all in the hands of the southern soldiers, why did I order you to send troops to help several times, but I didn't see the reinforcements arrive in Songjiang City?"

As soon as the Holy Emperor's words came out, all the officials in the court were silent, and the Holy Emperor continued to sneer and said, "What's the matter? Are all of you Aiqing dumb when you mention this matter? Didn't you all be interested in discussing Jiangnan with me just now?"

Although the Holy Emperor made his attitude clear, the civil and military officials present were still silent, and planned to continue to use the previous method, that is, to deal with the two saints with silence.

But this time, the Holy Emperor seemed to have confidence, and actually said in a deep voice: "You still want to use silence to deal with me? ”

The soldier who stood up before raised his head in a panic and opened his mouth to argue something, but before he could speak, the soldiers of the forbidden army outside the main hall had already walked in, directly set him up, and walked towards the outside of the main hall, looking like he was really going to withdraw and cut him down.

Seeing that the forbidden army had moved the real character, the soldier finally understood, it turned out that the Holy Emperor was not joking, and hurriedly cried and shouted: "Majesty, Majesty, minister, minister doesn't mean that, the minister has something to say, Majesty, Majesty ......."

Seeing this, the Holy Emperor waved his hand and said, "Oh, do you have anything to say?" ”

The soldier was released by the forbidden army, and then quickly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that sending troops to aid Songjiang City is a decision discussed between His Majesty and the ministers, but now there is a delay in seeing the reinforcements arrive in Songjiang City, which must be boring, and the minister thinks that it should be thoroughly investigated." ”

Seeing that the direction of the wind of the military department had changed so quickly, the Holy Emperor suddenly grinned, thinking of the kind of depression he had been holding for the past few days, and finally opening a breakthrough at this moment, he immediately felt very happy.

smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, you are right, so Aiqing, how do you think this matter should be thoroughly investigated?"

The soldier squire knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger now, and if he didn't show his attitude, he might really be pulled out and cut down by the Holy Emperor.

You must know that this time is not as good as before, the previous ministers all chose to be silent, the so-called sin is not as good as the public, and the Holy Emperor and the Holy Queen have no way to take everyone.

But the current situation is different, he first stood up and became the first bird, and he stood up without figuring out the situation, and now the situation is obviously controlled by the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, if he can't say why, then I'm afraid he will really be cut down.

At this time, even if he is cut by the two saints, no one will stand up to help him, and there is only one way to survive, that is, to change his camp and choose to speak for the two saints.

Although doing so would offend the Three Sects, it was important to protect his head at this time, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he could only follow the Second Sage to speak first.

So, after lowering his head and pondering for a moment, the squire of the military department spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter should first start with the military department, and at the same time, it is also necessary to check some people in Chang'an City recently, especially some civil forces under the command of the three sects. ”

The Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress glanced at each other, and then looked at the soldier squire, unable to believe that the other party dared to say such a thing in the court.

In particular, the other party's plan for a thorough investigation can be said to be very comprehensive, almost taking into account suspicious people and things, and it can be said that as long as this plan is implemented, then the three religions will inevitably make concessions.

Because, if the three religions do not give in, they will inevitably be condemned by the people, and at that time, the three religions that have lost the support of the people will no longer be able to threaten the Tang Empire.

The second saint couldn't help but be a little impressed by the squire of the military department, and he couldn't imagine that the other party usually looked inconspicuous, and when he was really forced to be helpless, he could actually come up with such a good idea, and the Holy Emperor made a decision: "Okay, it's a way, I will order you to go and implement it." ”

There was no turning back, so he simply didn't think about whether he would be aspired by the three sects, and knelt down to accept the task assigned by the Holy Emperor.

This court meeting can be regarded as opening up the situation for the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress, so that they can quickly regain the court in their hands, and under the oppression of powerful forces, the three sects, which were restrained by the academy and the second sound, also had to make temporary compromises.

The reinforcements sent to Songjiang City were originally trapped on the way to Songjiang City, and the three sects could only disperse the formation that trapped the reinforcements, so that the reinforcements continued to rush towards Songjiang City. (To be continued......)
