The palace of the July Kingdom is solemn and solemn. Since the day the Scorching Sun invaded the border, there has been no laughter here. The emperor analyzed the war report with the ministers all day long and discussed countermeasures.

The rebellion of Yue Pingfeng, the city lord of Green Moon City, was like adding insult to injury. Emperor Yuezheng felt haggard and couldn't figure it out. withstood the ravages of the years, but could not calm the sorrow in his heart, the emperor Yuezheng grew old overnight, and his well-recuperated body was sickly, his skin was bloodless, and his black hair changed to white hair.

Despite the sunny day, it could not remove the gloom in the palace. The main peace faction gradually reversed the decline in the court and overwhelmed the main battle faction.

"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate any longer. It is a well-known fact that the country is empty and the troops are insufficient. Now that the external troubles have not been eliminated, and internal worries have been added, why should we listen to the words of Weichen earlier?" The voice of the scholar Hong Kuan echoed in the main hall, adding a biting chill to the cold hall. has always advocated that the emperor adopt the method of the Lord and the Harmony to solve the crisis, and he has virtually become the leader of the Lord and the Harmony faction.

"Lord Hong, are you alarmist? Our emperor is magnificent, blessed all living beings, and the people's aspirations, how can a few rebels shake it. You don't want to help the thieves become arrogant!" Prime Minister Yue Wen'an was indignant, as a party to the main battle, he absolutely could not tolerate the method of making peace by losing money and ceding land.

"Prime Minister, what you said is so good, it is indeed the desire of the people. Now that the Purple Moon City is full of refugees from Qingyue City, do you expect them to destroy the rebels?" Doctor Hong Kuan sneered, with a look of disdain on his face, and he didn't even look at Prime Minister Yue Wen'an.

"There is no shortage of heroes among the refugees. As long as our emperor decrees to recruit troops, there will be thousands of responders. The rebels will only be a flash in the pan. Prime Minister Yue Wen'an pinned his hopes on recruiting soldiers to stop the rebels.

"The rabble, who can lead? Prime Minister, you see that above this court, there are all powerless ministers, and it is unknown whether they can climb on war horses, and it is even more absurd and delusional to fight against the rebels. The words of the scholar Hong Kuan guided the thoughts of the ministers in the court. Except for a few ministers who are particularly strong-willed. The rest of the ministers began to echo him.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Hong said is true, hurry up and send a messenger to ask for peace. “

"Your Majesty, please make peace. We are willing to give our wealth in exchange for peace. ”

"Your Majesty! Only the Scorching Sun Kingdom has withdrawn its troops. to put down the rebellion with peace of mind."

The ministers of the Lord and the ministers fell to their knees. pleaded with the emperor for the month's administration. Make a humiliating Lord and decision.

"Your Majesty, no. Every inch of land in the July Kingdom was bought by the blood and sweat of the emperors, and it must not be abandoned at will. Prime Minister Yue Wenan insisted on it. But his words could not reach the ears of the emperor Yuezheng at all, and they were lost in a cry for peace.

The chaotic cry for peace surrounded the emperor from all sides, seriously affecting his thoughts, and his heart began to waver.

"Hong Aiqing, I am now worried that the Scorching Sun Kingdom will no longer accept the proposal to sue for peace, is there a way for you?" Emperor Yuezheng's words have already shown that he is inclined to sue for peace.

"As the emperor said, the war that lasted for several days had a large number of casualties among the armies of our country and the country of the scorching sun. Simply cutting land and losing money, I'm afraid it really can't touch the heart of the emperor of the Scorching Sun Country. Doctor Hong Kuan deliberately paused to show the importance of his next idea: "I heard that the emperor of the Scorching Sun Kingdom likes beautiful women, and he has been indulging in wine all day long, and he has been peeking at the beauties of my country for a long time. The minister thought that if he married and kissed him, he would be foolproof in seeking peace. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, who of you is willing to solve problems for me, sacrifice your daughter for peace, and make the Scorching Sun Kingdom retreat?" The emperor felt that the words of the scholar doctor Hong Kuan were reasonable, and the method of improving the relationship between countries by marriage has existed since ancient times, and the effect is remarkable.

The court was instantly silent, and the needle drop could be heard. None of the ministers were willing to marry their daughters far away, which not only caused her to suffer, but also meant that they would never see each other again in this life.

"Ladies and gentlemen, didn't you hear what I said?" Emperor Yuezheng was extremely surprised by the reaction of the ministers.

"Your Majesty, the ministers heard it sincerely, and it was not that they were unwilling to sacrifice their daughters. However, the marriage at this time is a matter of great importance, and it cannot be said on the same day as the marriage in peacetime. If the army of the Lieri Kingdom is to withdraw, only by marrying the princess can it be fulfilled. Doctor Hong Kuan answered.

"Which princess will you send?" There are many princesses in the palace, and the sister of the emperor Yuezheng is also a princess, so she didn't react for a while.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ting and Princess Jade have just returned to the palace, they are the pearls of the emperor's palm, and only by marrying them can we show the sincerity of our country. Doctor Hong Kuan did not hesitate to say his choice.

"Presumptuous! Princess Ting and Princess Jade have delicate bodies, how can they be ruined by that old guy in Mengtan! Lord Hong, what do you want to do with such an idea? Could it be that you and the Scorching Sun Kingdom have already premeditated?" Prime Minister Yue Wen'an couldn't bear it, and pointed the finger at the scholar Hong Kuan.

"Your Majesty, heaven and earth can be learned, Weichen has no selfishness, everything he does is for my July Kingdom. Doctor Hong Kuan didn't expect Prime Minister Yue Wen'an to take advantage of this, refuted and suspected him, and was suddenly frightened. If it is misunderstood by the emperor, the day of the Zhu clan will not be far off.

Emperor Yuezheng glanced at the ministers with a cold gaze, but he didn't say a word. If it is really as the scholar doctor Hong Kuan said, if it is not Ting, the two princesses of Yu, then the marriage and kiss are a dream, because they have gone to the fairyland, even if the emperor Yuezheng wants to agree, it can't be realized, let alone how can he be willing to do that.

"The city lord of Qingyue City, Yue Liangqi, asks to see him. The attendants outside the court shouted loudly, and the sharp voice reached the ears of every minister.

"Xuan. Emperor Yuezheng was expressionless, and a word came out of his mouth lightly.

The two soldiers carried a dead body into the main hall, and in the exclamation of the ministers, Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, stood in the center of the main hall together with Wang Yan, Zhou Shan, and Dong Yun.

"Yue Liangqi, how can you place the dead body in the heavy court? You, the crime is one more degree!" Prime Minister Yue Wen'an reprimanded sharply, and at the same time shouted: "Come quickly, remove the dead body." “

"Wait, Prime Minister, don't be impatient. Moon Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, finished speaking. knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to the emperor Yuezheng: "Your Majesty, the minister lost the city, and the crime deserves death." ”

"You can't be blamed for this, I'm also responsible. Yuepingfeng's rebellion made my heart ache, "The emperor Yuezheng is an enlightened monarch, and he understands that the real reason for the loss of the city is the transfer of the army, which makes Qingyue City undefensible.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to show snow for Yueping Peak. "The city lord of Qingyue City, Yue Liangqi, is bold. The words are amazing.

"Say!" the emperor Yuezheng was obviously angry. I didn't want to pursue Yue Liangqi's dereliction of duty, hoping that he would be grateful to Dade, but he didn't expect him to get an inch in a vain attempt to exonerate Yue Pingfeng.

"Your Majesty. The minister was fortunate to meet Wang Yan and Zhou Shan. Miss Dong Yun. With their help, the rebellion was put down. After Wang Yan risked his life to kill the rebel commander, we discovered a shocking secret. This corpse is the true appearance of the rebel commander. He put on a mask and dressed up as Yue Pingfeng, confusing and deceiving everyone. And the real Yueping Peak has already fallen, and he still hopes that the emperor will see it. "Qingyue City Lord Yue Liang Qi explained the truth succinctly.

"Sensational! Yue Liangqi, you have no evidence, you are talking and fabricating facts. First, you said that you have destroyed the rebels, that is, you have such ability, why did you abandon the city and flee when you faced the rebels? Second, the rebellion of Yue Ping Peak, as we all know, if you get a dead corpse casually, you will say that it is Yue Ping Feng dressed up by this person, which is purely dead without proof and confuses the public. Doctor Hong Guangtou pointed out that in the words of Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, there was a loophole that could not be justified.

"Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to confirm it. Yue Liangqi, the lord of Qingyue City, took out a human skin mask and presented it to the emperor Yue Zheng: "Your Majesty, the minister guarantees with his life, and this mask is made of Yue Pingfeng's face." If he hadn't been killed, why did he come to this mask?"

"Leave this matter aside for now, and I will make a judgment on the meeting. Let's start with your so-called shocking secret. "After the emperor Yuezheng confirmed the authenticity of the mask, he did not immediately correct the name of Yuepingfeng, it is not uncommon for people to look like each other in the world, and this human skin mask does not prove that it must have been made of Yuepingfeng's face.

"Your Majesty, the appearance of this dead corpse proves that he is a member of the Scorching Sun Country, and when the Scorching Sun Kingdom attacked in a big way, he disguised himself as the city lord of Green Moon City and rebelled at the same time. After thinking about it and linking the two, he came to the conclusion that the invasion of our country by the Scorching Sun Country was a long-planned plan. "Qingyue City Lord Yue Liangqi said what he had already thought about.

"Nonsense, you are intent on plunging our country into a protracted war, costing the people and money!" Doctor Hong Kuan was dissatisfied, if the Scorching Sun Kingdom really planned for a long time, then their lord and faction would not have a bright future, and the emperor would definitely make the choice of a decisive battle to the end, then the peace method they had come up with before would be in vain, and at the same time, they would lose the emperor's trust.

"Your Majesty, the minister believes what Yue Liangqi said. Whether the rebels were eliminated or not can be quickly confirmed, and it is unreasonable for Yue Liangqi to choose to deceive at this time. I also hope that the emperor will seize the time to recruit troops and prepare for war and do a good job of resisting. "Prime Minister Yue Wen'an chose to support Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, at the right time. As the main battle faction, he will use every opportunity to fight the main peace faction.

"Your Majesty, Wang Yan and Zhou Shan, Miss Dong Yun have personally experienced everything, which can be proven. Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City, remembered that he hadn't had time to introduce the three Wang Yan who had made the first contribution to the emperor, and immediately said.

"It's you again!?" Emperor Yuezheng was stunned after seeing the faces of Wang Yan, Zhou Shan, and Dong Yun. Aren't they the same people who escorted their daughters Yueting and Yueyu back to the palace and refused to give rewards?

"See the Emperor. The Lord of Qingyue City is loyal, and we can testify to it. The rebel commander was killed by me, and there is no falsehood. The rebels have been destroyed, and the emperor can rest assured. Wang Yan said a few words, explaining the innocence of Yue Liangqi, the city lord of Qingyue City.

"Your Majesty, the court is a place where the ministers deliberate, how can the words of these grass people of unknown origin be credulous?"

"Hong Aiqing doesn't need to say much, I have my own opinions. If it weren't for his refusal to be an official, with the merits he has achieved, the official position will not be under you. Now that the rebels have been removed, there is no need to talk about peace. Concentrate on how to defend against the enemy on the border. "The emperor finally made the decision to fight to the end.

"The emperor is wise!" Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, the ministers of the lord and the minister immediately gave up their previous proposition and echoed it.

In the palace hall, the haze in the court disappeared, and the depression in the heart of the emperor Yuezheng was resolved.

"Your Majesty, this time to eliminate the rebels, Wang Yan should be the first meritorious soldier, but he is unwilling to accept the reward of fame, and only hopes that the emperor can agree to set up a good medicine hall throughout the country to treat the poor and poor people for free. "Blue Moon City Lord Yue Liangqi finally had a chance to make the promise he made to Wang Yan.

"Quasi!" The emperor did not hesitate, the establishment of a good medicine hall is a good thing to accumulate virtue and benefit the country and the people, and there is no need to discuss it at all.

"Thank you, Emperor!" Wang Yan hurriedly thanked him. His wish was fulfilled, and he was overjoyed. (To be continued......)
