Chapter 333

The defeat was like a mountain.

The news of the defeat at the front reached the capital in the shortest possible time.

First, the spirit pigeon passed the briefing, and then the feather commander sent the message thousands of miles to bring the most detailed battle report.

There was also all sorts of gossip along with it.

Some people say that Lizhou has completely fallen, and Beiyan has gathered 300,000 troops at the border pass, ready to fight step by step, and can hit the capital within three months.

Maybe before the Chinese New Year this year, Nanyan will change owners.

The whole country was shocked and the people were panicked.

Some of them secretly communicated with Beiyan to ensure the power and status of their own families after the city was broken......

But more often than not, ordinary people who have nothing. They know neither the truth nor the fear of the coming chaos. I can only hope for fate, hoping that when the building collapses, I can get the favor of one or two fates.

Nanyan broke the practice of going to the court every five days, and summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to the main hall for urgent deliberations.

"The defeat in this battle was all in Liao Changkong, and he was stubborn and self-serving, which led to the defeat. I ask Your Majesty for an order to convict Liao Changkong. ”

"General Liao has been martyred, is he guilty? What is his crime? Could it be that those who died on the battlefield are guilty of meritorious speech. ”

"At least, I didn't send innocent soldiers to death......"

After the defeat, the various forces have begun to shirk their responsibilities and take this opportunity to suppress each other.

Above the court, the quarrel became a pot of porridge, and I couldn't wait to start on the spot.

"Alright, alright. ”

King Shou spoke: "The detailed battle report from the front line has been sent, and I believe you have already read it. ”

A Lang Zhong of the military department stood up and said: "It is written in the battle report that General Liao sent Zhuang Yisheng to lead the troops to block the Northern Yan soldiers and horses at Hulukou. However, they failed to complete the effective interception, and the 3,000 soldiers and horses were completely annihilated. The soldiers and horses of the Northern Yan arrived at Layue Pass, which was the main reason for the defeat. ”

"What, he's just a prison guard, what qualifications does he have to lead the troops!" said an old minister of the court.

He ...... After all, it is His Majesty's people. ”

It's coming, it's finally here. The purpose of today's court meeting is definitely not Liao Changkong, what everyone is pointing at is the woman behind the bead curtain.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense! How can we be nepotistic in major national affairs? ”

"Could it be that the old things of my Yan Kingdom are going to be repeated!"

The crowd screamed, the words turned into sharp spears, and everyone finally united and pointed their weapons at the same person.

Behind the bead curtain, there was a sudden sound, and everyone's hearts moved: What's the matter, the empress can't hold her breath.

"Is Zhuang Yi dead or dead?"

"The soldiers and horses sent to stop the Northern Yan were all annihilated. ”

"I asked him if he was dead?"

"Your Majesty, the team has been wiped out, but I haven't received a battle report about Zhuang Yisheng, and he is only missing for the time being. ”

The sound of boots falling to the ground, with the sound of footsteps, the bead curtain sounded softly, and the empress actually walked out from behind the bead curtain.

Of course, this is not in line with etiquette, but now that no one has forgotten to speak, the chaotic sound in the hall is actually a little quieter.

The empress was dressed in red, with red lips and a cold face, standing on the highest point, as if she was overlooking the entire empire.

She is so beautiful, not the kind of mediocre beauty, but the kind of heart that people can't help but surrender.

In the main hall, everyone bowed their heads.

At the beginning, everyone was under a lot of pressure to push the empress to the throne. After all, there is no such precedent within the Six Nations.

The reason why she was able to make up her mind is actually very simple, because she looks like an emperor.

If she is really an ugly monster, or has a big waist and a round waist, this throne will not fall on her.

She stood there and made people want to bow down.

"I want to drive the expedition and go to Lizhou. The empress lightly opened her red lips: "Fang Shangshu, how many soldiers and horses can be mobilized in the country now." ”

"This ......" Fang Shangshu was stunned.

Almost everyone was stunned.

Originally, everyone planned to use Zhuang Yisheng as a weapon to take the opportunity to beat the empress and let her be a puppet with peace of mind.

But the empress didn't seem to understand the situation at all, she had already caused such a big disaster, and she seemed to want to make it even bigger.

"Your Majesty, by no means. ”

After a brief silence, the courtiers rushed up to speak.

"Northern Yan has the power of a new victory, and if we fight them in a decisive battle at this time, our army will be defeated. ”

"The Lizhou defense line collapsed, and the entire Lizhou had no danger to defend, what to fight with them. ”

"The son of a daughter can't sit down, Your Majesty's status is noble, how can he risk reaching the front line. ”

Although the major families are looking for various opportunities to limit the power of the empress. However, they did not want to remove the empress from the throne.

The relationship between the major families needs an emperor to balance, even if it is only in name. And the shallower the foundation of this emperor, the weaker the background, the more it can maximize everyone's interests.

Therefore, they did not want the empress to die.

"I have made up my mind to mobilize my troops and horses, and I will take the lead in my own army. ”

"Your Majesty, no!"

"Never. ”

The military general of Wenchen persuaded at the same time.

"If the Northern Yan are arrogant, I will defeat them when they are at their most arrogant. ”

"If there is no danger to defend from the state, I will defeat them in the wilderness. ”

The empress spoke, her tone categorical.

No matter what the big families think, she is really not interested in the throne and power.

The only person I care about in my heart is just one person, the world is big, and his things are the biggest.

Now that his whereabouts are unknown, the empress is already anxious and can't wait to rush to the front.

For her decision, everyone definitely does not support it.

Now the major families are trying to limit the power of the empress, how can they let her lead the troops.

What's more, with Beiyan's current momentum, wouldn't it be a death to go.

Today's court meeting was dispersed in a quarrel.

After King Shou returned home, Zhou Kang had been waiting here for a long time.

"Uncle, it's all ready. Zhou Kang said.

"Well, how's it going?"

"I have contacted the celebrities of Yan Kingdom, and they will speak out at the same time, arouse public indignation, and jointly denounce Zhuang Yisheng. ”

"Okay, let's do it. ”

The arrangement has been unfolding in secret for a long time, and it has been gathering momentum for a long time, and after today, it has finally exploded in full force.

The so-called celebrities and celebrities don't do any work, sit and talk, talk loudly, and are raised by wealthy families.

But they have a great reputation among the people, and have gradually become the mouthpiece of the wealthy family.

Nowadays, in the teahouse, in the restaurant, in the Qinglou, and in the Taishuyuan, there are many people discussing the war on the front line.

"Three thousand people died like that, and their hearts ached, and they couldn't sleep and eat, and they were sinners who misled the country. ”

"I hate that I have no literary and martial arts, and I can't defend my family and the country, so that mediocrity is in the court. ”

"The master is wandering, the clown is in the temple. ”

"Sinners, sinners of the nation. ”

"I heard that this person is the empress's lover and was promoted by the empress. ”

"Ah, how can this be, the court is a major event, how can it be child's play. ”
