Chapter 316: The two old ministers resigned
And at this moment, a group of fast horses came rushing from outside the city, and the people on the horses shouted loudly:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the border is good ......"
Where did the gate officials who guarded the city gate of the imperial capital dare to stop them, they got out of the way one after another, and let the fast horses enter the city directly.
"Did you hear that? That person is a good news from the border pass! Could it be that our Yan Kingdom has really won the war?"
Many people began to talk about it.
Those officers and soldiers guarding the city gate also joined the discussion, and since Zheng These days, they have been worried, worried that the allied forces of the six countries will attack the imperial capital.
When the time comes, they, the officers and soldiers of the imperial capital, will go to the battlefield. That's not a good thing for them.
Therefore, they are still very concerned about the battle report at the border pass. However, these days have been quiet, which has made their hearts very depressed.
Today, they finally waited for the good news from the border pass.
No matter what, as long as it's a good news, they'll be happy.
Just as they were discussing very hotly, suddenly, outside the city, another fast horse came running, and the man on the horse still shouted frantically:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way for me, get out of the way for me at the border 800 miles and expedited good news, get out of the way for me......"
"What the hell? How is it good news? Really?"
The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were immediately messy, although they felt unbelievable, although they felt that this was too coincidental.
However, for such a herald, they still didn't dare to stop them, so they could only get out of the way.
Above the court, Lord Wu Zhong and Lord Wu were talking endlessly:
"Your Majesty, in the opinion of the old ministers, it's time for us to give an order to let the armies from all over the country return to the imperial capital to come to King Qin, Jinzhou City, Wanliyang only has 50,000 troops, how can we resist the 500,000 troops of the allies......"
The emperor said calmly: "Although you have to make a lot of sense, but don't forget, the wolf is in Jinzhou, and he is in charge of the entire Longhumen fire and ammunition, so there is no need to be afraid of the 500,000 army, so, Lord Wu, don't worry! ”
"This. ”
Wu Zhong was really speechless. In the past few years, he and various ministers have been reminding the emperor of this matter over and over again.
But each time, the emperor was determined not to take their advice. This made them more and more worried.
As soon as Wu Zhong retreated, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood up again and continued to work on clothes.
After the Ministry of Rites retreated, another minister stepped forward and continued to repeat the question.
However, this time, the emperor seemed to be reassured, and just refused to pay attention to them.
In the end, Wu Zhong and the officials such as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites glanced at each other, and finally turned their hearts sideways and stood up and said:
"Prince, there is a sentence that the old minister has to say, if the emperor is still so stubborn, then it is useless for us courtiers, if the emperor is still so stubborn, then please ask the emperor to allow the old minister to return to his hometown!"
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Wu is not wrong, since we courtiers can no longer play the slightest role in front of the emperor, then, the old ministers are also the same as Lord Wu, please allow us to return to our hometown!"
There is no way, they have already discussed it, and now, they can't think of any other way than to force the emperor with resignation.
After all, no matter what, they still cherish their lives very much. There is no hundreds of thousands of troops stationed here in the imperial capital, they really can't sleep!
"This. ”
This time, the emperor really hesitated, the reason why he dared to speak so loudly before was that he dared to be sure that these officials would not resign casually.
But now, he knew that these officials were really afraid, and this was the intention of preparing to resign, and then take his family to find a place to hide and avoid this disaster.
At this time, the golden wolf said in a voice beside him:
"Your Majesty, there are more scholars now, as long as you pass the examination method and recruit a group of people to the court, it is barely available. Since they are going to resign, let them go!"
Wu Zhong and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu suddenly looked at the golden wolf with a murderous gaze, this bastard is too hateful, he actually stood up and made trouble at such a time.
Where do they really want to resign? They clearly just want to use this method to force the emperor to comply.
The emperor listened to the words of the golden wolf and said in a straight voice:
"However, this requires a process and time!"
The golden wolf said: "It's okay, let's promote the young officials below! It's really not good, we can temporarily put it on top." Are we afraid that we will not be able to find an official in the Yan Kingdom? Your Majesty, look at these two old fellows, what else can we do to get rid of the chaos?"
Wu Zhong and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu were immediately angry:
"Golden wolf, you don't go forward to slander the emperor, what we do is for the sake of Yan Kingdom. ”
The golden wolf didn't say anything, just stood aside and waited for the emperor's decision.
The emperor thought about it, and also felt that he had to be tough at this time, if he let these guys threaten him with resignation one by one, then his previous promise to the golden wolf to withstand the pressure would be broken.
So, he said: "Okay, naturally the two of you want to resign, then I will be approved." Who else wants to resign? Come together! ”
"Huh?"
The ministers were immediately stunned. The emperor actually agreed.
At this moment, the other officials who wanted to join in suddenly turned off their flames.
Didn't you hear the emperor? As long as they stand up and resign today, he will be all approved. This is not the outcome they wanted.
Wu Zhong and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu were also confused, they wanted to regret it now, but it was too late.
If you don't joke, you are the emperor.
At this moment, a eunuch with a document in his hand ran in excitedly and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, good news from the border pass. Good news from General Earth Wolf......"
Good news?
The emperor was immediately overjoyed and said, "Read, read quickly......"
If it is really good news, then the pressure of him, the emperor, will collapse in an instant.
"Yes. ”
The eunuch agreed, and hurriedly took the paperwork apart and read:
"To the emperor, Marshal Cao Shang of the Jin State suddenly tore up the agreement and launched a sneak attack on our army, and our army will plan accordingly......
Today, Marshal Cao Shang's 200,000 troops have all surrendered to our army. The wolf of the land respects, may my emperor dragon be healthy. ”
The ground wolf doesn't know how to write these crepe things, but just makes the situation clear.
However, at this moment, where does the emperor care about this, he only knows that Cao Shang's 200,000 army has surrendered to the ground wolf, and this is enough.
"Good. That's great. ”
The emperor rose up with a high chest and captured the 200,000 troops, even if the other battles were defeated, at least, he still had this important bargaining chip in his hand.
In the court, the officials also looked very happy.
Only, Wu Zhong and the Ministry of Rites' Shangshu's faces darkened over the bottom of the pot.
