Liukang Dynasty, Kangdu.

In the teahouse, Zhao Xiangzheng was sipping tea while thinking about strategies to retreat from the enemy.

But in the end, he still felt that holding on was the best way.

Facing a famous general like Qin Yi, whatever he does will be caught by the opponent. Only by holding on to the city can there be a possibility of victory.

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard the sound of rapid footsteps and turned his head to look.

I saw a confidant rushing in and reporting urgently, "Mr. Zhao, a tip came in. Your Majesty has the intention of retreating. He has sent an order to the people in the palace to pack up their belongings and prepare to leave the capital!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Zhao was shocked. He put down the tea cup and said in surprise, "Why did your Majesty suddenly change his mind?"

In the main hall before, everyone had good words and bad words, but they finally convinced him to stay in Kangdu and stick to it.

The confidant smiled bitterly and said, "It is said that His Majesty heard the yelling outside the city and saw the kite with its string broken..."

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Zhao couldn't help but frown tightly.

He originally thought that His Majesty would not be affected by these threatening words, but unexpectedly, he overestimated His Majesty's character.

Huo Di stood up and Zhao Xiang said, "Prepare the car, I will enter the palace immediately to dissuade Your Majesty!"

When we went out to fight in the city before, we lost 60,000 horses. People in the city are already panicking. If your Majesty leaves now, morale will plummet and Kangdu will definitely fall!

Therefore, nothing can be said to make His Majesty leave!

Not long after, Prime Minister Zhao got on a carriage and arrived at the gate of the palace. He quickly got off the carriage and hurried towards the palace hall.

When I came to the dormitory, I asked the eunuch and learned that His Majesty was in the warehouse. I urged the eunuch and the maid to speed up the cleaning and hurried towards the warehouse.

Finally, at the door of the warehouse, Prime Minister Zhao saw the panic-stricken Emperor Liukang, and also saw many eunuchs and maids coming in and out, carefully and carefully putting valuable items in the warehouse into wooden boxes.

in.

Prime Minister Zhao was slightly angry, but seeing that there were so many people here, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, walked over expressionlessly, and said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

Emperor Liukang turned around and saw that it was Prime Minister Zhao, and quickly asked, "Zhao Aiqing, are you leaving the capital with me and going to accompany the capital, or are you staying here?"

Zhao Xiang's eyelids twitched and he advised, "Your Majesty, this is a critical moment to defend Kangdu. You can't leave!"

Emperor Liukang frowned, "What's the use of me staying here and not being able to make any suggestions? It's better to go to the rear to gather troops and send them to rescue Kangdu."

Hearing this, Zhao Xiang was slightly angry, but he said it nicely. I am afraid that gathering troops and horses is a lie, but escaping is real!

"Your Majesty, given the current situation, no amount of reinforcements will have any effect. They will only be intercepted and killed by Qin Yi secretly. Relying on the strong city to defend Kangdu is the best way!" Zhao Xiang said while holding back his anger.

Emperor Liukang said, "I have not given up on Kangdu. Before I leave, I will choose a general with extraordinary strength to take full responsibility for the defense of Kangdu. I will definitely be able to defend this city!"

"This has nothing to do with the generals, but with morale. If you stay in Kangdu, it will boost the soldiers. If you leave, the soldiers will no longer have the will to defend. By then, Kangdu will surely fall. Please think twice, Your Majesty.

!" Prime Minister Zhao advised.

Emperor Liukang was silent for a moment and then said, "My departure may not necessarily lead to a drop in morale. I can also issue an order to many soldiers to guard Kangdu. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed, and the nine tribes will be punished!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Zhao could no longer suppress his anger. He didn't care about the crowds here and shouted angrily, "Your Majesty, the soldiers shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to protect your country! You don't care so much.

If you are in danger, run away. How can you work together as one, and how can you make the soldiers sacrifice their lives for you?"

Emperor Liukang was stunned when he was suddenly scolded. He couldn't help but get furious. He was about to get angry when he heard words coming from not far away, "Your Majesty, you can't retreat. Once you leave, the soldiers will have no faith and the hearts of the people will be scattered.

Even if it is not broken now, it will surely fall in a few months, and the capital will be in danger!"

The speaker was none other than King Zhang. When he learned that Emperor Liukang intended to retreat, he hurried into the palace and saw Prime Minister Zhao angrily reprimanding Emperor Liukang.

Although I know that Zhao Xiang said this for the sake of good health, the other party dared to rebuke the emperor, which was an overstep and should be severely punished.

But at this moment, it was not the time to deal with Prime Minister Zhao. King Zhang could only suppress his anger and speak out to persuade.

The extremely angry Emperor Liukang couldn't help but hesitate when he saw his uncle also coming to dissuade him.

The heart of Prime Minister Zhao is unpredictable, but King Zhang is loyal and often provides him with beautiful maids. Therefore, what the other party says must be considered... Thinking of this, Emperor Liu Kang frowned and asked, "You really shouldn't go

?"

Afraid that Prime Minister Zhao would say another rebuke, King Zhang quickly replied, "I really can't leave. Once you leave, it means that you don't trust Kangdu. Once people's hearts are dispersed, it will be difficult to defend this city!"

Emperor Liukang was helpless. Although he wanted to leave, he could only say, "In that case, I will stay in Kangdu."

He didn't listen to what Prime Minister Zhao said, and was only worried that he would be harmed by the other party. However, King Zhang had been very good to him since he was a child. He gave him whatever he asked and never bullied him. It was obvious that he was sincere for him.

Therefore, you should listen to the other party’s opinions.

Seeing that Emperor Liukang agreed to stay, King Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Prime Minister Zhao snorted angrily and walked away.

At this moment, he was filled with anger.

Not only was he angry that Emperor Liukang was timid and cowardly, but he was also angry that the other party treated him like this.

His opinions were the same as those of King Zhang, but Emperor Liukang refused to listen to his hard-to-talk, and King Zhang persuaded him with just two or three sentences. This made him very cold-hearted!

A heart of blood is good for health, but it’s a pity that I didn’t meet the Ming Lord!

The late emperor trusted him so much, but he never expected that after the late emperor, guarding against him would be like guarding against tigers and wolves!

The more I think about it, the angrier Mr. Zhao becomes!

Seeing that Prime Minister Zhao was becoming more and more arrogant and rude, Emperor Liukang was extremely angry. Even King Zhang felt vaguely that Prime Minister Zhao could not stay any longer. He had long been dissatisfied with the emperor, and if he continued to stay, it might be a disaster.

Involuntarily, some intentions arose in his mind.

……

Linzhan Dynasty, Yanluo Mansion.

In Juxian City, there is a two-entry mansion.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

In the lobby, Prime Minister Wu and his brother were sitting on chairs, drinking tea slowly.

It had been a few days since I came back, and I saw my mother whom I hadn't seen for a long time. After learning that her condition had improved, Prime Minister Wu was relieved.

After a few years, he returned to his hometown again, causing a great sensation. Many villagers lined the streets to welcome him, wanting to see what this legendary figure who walked out of Guxian City and became famous as a prime minister looked like.

Although the county magistrate of Ju Xiancheng had taken security measures, the villagers were too enthusiastic and repeatedly broke through the obstacles and approached the Prime Minister.

Fortunately, when Prime Minister Wu returned home, the Empress sent five thousand imperial troops to escort him. Therefore, under double protection, Prime Minister Wu was able to return home safely.

Although he didn't like to make arrangements, in order to prevent thieves from secretly killing people, the Prime Minister had no choice but to follow the advice of the captain of the imperial army and surrounded his brother's mansion heavily.

But even so, there are still many villagers who want to see the famous people and their faces before coming to the house day and night.

In the past few days, Prime Minister Wu has been staying in the mansion. Except for meeting some relatives, he has declined all visits. Even the reception banquet proposed by the magistrate of Ju Xiancheng, he also declined politely.

Just because I don’t want to have too much impact.

This low-key gesture has won praises from many villagers.

In the past, people returned to their hometowns in fine clothes. There was a seventh-grade official who came back to visit his relatives. He showed off his power and was extravagant. He wanted to let everyone in the city know that he was back.

Compared with Wu Xiang, this person is far inferior not only in official position, but also in character. It can be said that there is a huge difference!

In the hall, Prime Minister Wu was drinking tea and chatting about family matters with his brother, when he suddenly heard rapid footsteps.

He turned around and saw a guard walking quickly into the house, approaching and whispering a few words in a low voice.

After hearing what the other party said, Prime Minister Wu couldn't help but frown.

The news from the guards was that His Majesty sent the imperial army to support Qin Yi.

This seems a little inappropriate.

"Who proposed sending the imperial army?" Wu Xiang asked with a frown.

The guard said a few names quickly.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Wu frowned even more tightly, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss.

After pondering for a moment, he turned around and said, "Brother, something happened in the capital. I need to return to the capital immediately. I can't stay longer."

He has to go back and see if he can persuade the empress to let the imperial army return to Beijing.

Even if he can't, there is a vague feeling of undercurrent in Beijing, and he has to go back and take charge.

The elder brother quickly said, "My dear brother, your position is important. If you have something to do, feel free to leave and take care of your mother wholeheartedly for the brotherhood."

Nodding, Prime Minister Wu stood up and went to the inner courtyard to see his mother. He told her to take good care of her health, then excused herself and prepared to leave.

It can be seen that the mother is quite reluctant to leave, so the Prime Minister Wu can only promise the other party that he will come back to visit at another time.

Then, with 5,000 forbidden troops, Prime Minister Wu hurried back towards Zhanjing without any delay.

……

A few days later, the news that Linzhan had dispatched the imperial army to come for support had reached the front line.

Fifteen miles away from Kangdu, in the big tent, Qin Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the documents in his hand, feeling that something was wrong.

She didn’t ask for support, so why did the empress send someone here?
