Chapter 485 Winter Solstice
When the new emperor Xia Yunjie heard this, he became energetic, looked at him and continued to ask: "What next?"
Linghu Kuangyu looked at him and continued: "As long as we can borrow another 50,000 troops from the Beihai Islands, plus the existing troops in the imperial city, we can counterattack Baiyu City with overwhelming force."
The new emperor Xia Yunjie nodded, looked at the right minister and asked: "What do the right ministers think?"
The right prime minister was stunned, turned to look at the left prime minister with half-closed eyes, poked him gently, and asked, "What do you think, the left prime minister?"
The left minister opened his eyes, looked at the right minister quietly, and then stood up.
He told the new emperor: "I believe that we must never borrow troops from the North Sea Islands. They already have troops to support themselves. If we borrow troops from them again, it will be like inviting wolves into the house."
The new emperor was stunned. He never expected that the left prime minister who never spoke would reject Linghu Kuangyu's suggestion as soon as he opened his mouth.
But now he was thinking about it, and couldn't find a better way besides borrowing troops.
The five regions have eliminated the second region. The master of the East Xuan Region claimed to be ill and refused to go on the expedition. The master of the South Xuan Region is obviously of the same faction as the eldest prince. He can only rely on the North Region Xuan and the West Xuan Region for support.
But if you want to win the current war, borrowing troops from the North Sea Islands is something you have to do.
Even though he knew it was poison, he still had to take a bite before talking.
Looking at the resolute look of the Zuo Prime Minister, the new emperor Xia Yunjie said: "The Zuo Prime Minister is old and has not been involved in government affairs for a long time. He should go home and rest first. After the matter is dealt with, we can invite the Zuo Prime Minister to come back."
Xin Dao: Can’t you all see the difficulties that our emperor is facing right now? Are you all looking forward to the Southern Xinjiang army attacking the imperial city?
When your eldest brother takes the throne, will there be any benefits for you?
The left minister raised his head and glanced at the new emperor, the right minister and others, sighed deeply, and replied: "In this case, I will go home to rest for some time and wait for your majesty's good news."
After saying these words, he walked to the ground again, then turned around and walked towards the Golden Palace.
He also understood that allowing him to walk out of the palace alive was the greatest gift from the new emperor in front of him.
If he continues to stand up, not only will it not help the situation, but he will also drag down a bunch of family members.
Zuo Xiang, who walked out of the Golden Palace, looked up at the falling snow in the sky and murmured: "I saw him building a tall building, I saw him entertaining guests, I saw his building collapse..."
A string of lonely footprints were left on the square in front of the vast white Golden Palace.
...
Soon after the Zuo Xiang was persuaded to retreat by the new emperor, he decided to borrow troops from the Beihai Islands and passed the matter to Linghu Zhen, who had returned from the defeated battle at Fenglingdu.
In the palace of Concubine Li.
Today, Concubine Li has been canonized as the Imperial Concubine by the new emperor. The reason why she does not dare to be canonized as the Empress Dowager is because the woman outside the imperial city is there.
The ministers in the DPRK knew it well, and Xia Yunjie and Li Fei did not want to cause trouble.
Li Fei, who was holding a heater in her hand, looked at the three people in front of her and felt like she hated iron.
He has obviously ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor and declared the Five Domains, but the eldest prince refuses to acknowledge it. What is hateful is that the royal advisor of the dynasty is also on the side of the eldest prince.
Xia Yunjie told Concubine Li about borrowing troops from the Beihai Islands. Concubine Li's reaction was the same as that of the left prime minister, and she wanted to slap Xia Yunjie across the face.
She just thought about it for a moment and endured it.
At present, the five regions are in chaos, and there is no military power in the court. In desperation, the only option is to drink poison to quench thirst.
Compared with the imperial power, knowing that one day a wolf will be attracted into the house, that will happen in the future. The mother and son can only survive the current difficulties.
You Xiang saw Li Fei in a dilemma and couldn't help but sigh and said: "This is also a last resort. At most, it will give them more benefits when the matter is accomplished."
Li Fei glanced at the right minister and knew that he was also thinking about her. She nodded helplessly and replied: "That's it, clean up the emperor's gang as soon as possible and let me be clean in a few days."
day."
"Are all the gates in the imperial city under martial law?" Concubine Li looked at Xia Yunjie and asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother. Except for the North City Gate, the other three city gates have been set up under martial law. The South City Gate is only for exit but not for entry." Xia Yunjie looked at Concubine Li and replied quietly.
He had sent assassins to attack the eldest prince several times. If he was not afraid of the eldest prince coming to retaliate against him, he would have blocked the city gate as Li Ye expected.
...
Royal Academy, in Xia Yuan's hall.
Nalan Kunxuan lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand seriously. After a while, he raised his head and said, "Have we finally reached this point?"
Xia Yuan looked at the letter he held in his hand and said calmly: "They have sent killers to carry out assassinations again and again. Even an old man like me can't stand it anymore."
Although he had already prepared for what Li Ye wrote to him, the two old men were still a little embarrassed when they actually faced it.
What they care about is not the throne at all, but the inversion of black and white behind getting the queen.
That's why they are angry.
Both of them were deeply favored by the emperor, who entrusted many affairs of the imperial city to them before leaving.
I originally thought that as long as the Imperial Master helped the eldest prince, the situation could be solved, but I didn't expect that it would turn out to be the current situation.
However, facing the current situation of the dynasty, and even facing the entire world of practice in the Five Realms, both of them have their own persistence.
It is this persistence that allows them to break through the realm and reach the current state of practice.
"It's almost time for us to go to the imperial city. If we don't exercise for a long time, our body will eventually get rusty." Xia Yuan looked at Nalan Kunxuan and said with a faint smile.
"Well, I'll go with you. It just so happens that our boy has also returned from southern Xinjiang with the imperial master." What Nalan Kunxuan deserves to show off most right now is that Nalan Yu followed Li Yezheng to occupy southern Xinjiang.
This is something that will be passed down through the ages and will be written down in the history books.
...
On the grassy slope of the college, inside the cabin.
It’s winter again.
The young lady stared blankly at Dongfang Yu'er sitting opposite, thinking that last year, that guy was sitting on this stool and talking to her about a lot of things about Tianshan Mountain and Fangcun Mountain.
Seeing the young lady in a daze, Dongfang Yu'er stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes and said, "Junior sister, are you stupid again?"
The young lady turned back and glanced at Xu Jingyun, who was napping on the side, and said to Dongfang Yu'er: "Senior sister, your father deserted the imperial city, will the emperor be angry with you in anger?"
Dongfang Yu'er looked at her and shook his head, frowning and said: "My mother wrote to me, asking me to stay in the academy to practice until I give birth until the matters in the imperial city are settled."
"It's really hard for you!" Xu Jingyun, with her eyes half closed, sighed quietly.
She watched Dongfang Yu'er and Li Ye get married, and then Li Mingzhu took advantage of Li Hongxiu's wedding to return to Fengyun City to find Li Ye to break off the engagement, and then...
She just wants to say one thing at this moment: God's calculation is not as good as that of man.
No one could have expected that the little boy who practiced in Tianshan Mountain and then went to Fangcun Mountain to practice would actually lead the southern Xinjiang army, repel the cavalry of the grassland tribes, and even sign a contract under the city.
The most terrible thing is that not long after, this guy has led an army of 100,000 into White Jade City, only one step away from the Vientiane Imperial City.
He turned to look at the troubled young lady, thinking that last year that boy passed by the Royal Academy thousands of miles away, but didn't even have a dinner, so he hurried back to the imperial city.
The experiences of the two girls are so different yet so similar.
Xu Jingyun looked at the two people and said calmly: "I heard from the dean yesterday that the southern Xinjiang army has marched north and has occupied the White Jade City, and will attack the Imperial City soon."
The young lady was startled, turned to look at Xu Jingyun and asked: "So fast? Why do I feel that they were still in southern Xinjiang yesterday?"
Dongfang Yu'er felt even more uncomfortable. Seeing that she was the queen of the Five Regions Imperial City, there was only one ceremony left. Unexpectedly, the southern Xinjiang army sent a letter to the world and stood on the opposite side of her fiancé.
Whoever wins will be the master of the imperial city. This is a truth that everyone in the five regions understands, and she is no exception.
She couldn't even imagine that if that guy really drove her fiancé out of the imperial city, she would have to follow him to wander around.
At this time, she couldn't help but resent her master and mother. Before she could figure out what was going on, she ran to Fengyun City to cancel her marriage to Li Ye.
Otherwise, just like the young lady in front of him, Shangguan Wushuang is Li Ye's official fiancée, regardless of whether Li Ye recognizes her or not.
"Oh, what does the war have to do with us? Junior sister, let's have a drink tonight. It's cold today. Let's have a drink to warm ourselves up." Dongfang Yuer shook her head, not wanting to think about the trivial matters in front of her anymore.
The young lady was also very upset. She turned around and glanced at Xu Jingyun. Seeing that she had no reaction, she smiled lightly and said, "Okay!"
The young lady this year is already at the ninth level of the Golden Elixir. She is only one step away from being able to break through the elixir and transform into an infant.
This year, Dongfang Yu'er has also reached the same level of cultivation as the young lady. The two of them are still discussing one day to break through the level together, which will surprise the teachers and classmates in the college.
Let the men fight the war.
...
The main palace of White Jade City, above the living room.
The eldest prince and Li Ye welcomed a stranger, who came back with his personal guards who went to the imperial city to deliver a message.
Li Ye poured a cup of tea for the visitor and asked quietly: "How is Mr. Zuo doing now?"
The visitor replied: "Because your Majesty, the Prime Minister of the Left, is unwilling to go along with the Right, your Majesty has ordered you to rest at home and stop interfering in state affairs."
Li Ye looked at the eldest prince, nodded and said: "It's a good thing that he doesn't go to court. Otherwise, with his temper, if he can't help but fight with them one day, it will be troublesome."
Laiyou looked at Li Ye and said seriously: "I don't know what else the Imperial Preceptor and the Grand Marshal have to tell my lords. If not, I think I'll rush back today."
Li Ye waved to him and replied quietly: "Go back and tell Mr. Zuo Xiang that we don't have to worry about anything here. He only needs to take good care of himself at home."
The visitor took a deep look at Li Ye, said goodbye to the two of them, and walked away.
...
"Within ten days, the 50,000 troops from the North Xuan Region and the West Xuan Region will arrive at the imperial city." The eldest prince looked at Li Yejuesheng and said.
Li Ye looked at him, shook the letter in his hand, and said with a smile: "That's not all. In the twelfth day at most, the 50,000 troops they borrowed from the Beihai Islands will also arrive in the imperial city."
"Aren't they afraid of attracting wolves into the house?" The eldest prince looked at Li Ye and said bitterly.
"Compared to them, we are the biggest wolves!" Li Ye laughed at himself.
"I heard from the Imperial Guard that we are really a big wolf. No wonder they want to borrow troops from the Beihai Islands." The eldest prince sighed.
Li Ye walked to the door of the living room, looked at the flying snow in the sky, and said softly: "I am just fulfilling the emperor's entrustment, why should they stop me? Do they think we are weak and easy to bully? Or maybe they borrowed Beihai
My soldiers can stop me? Why?"
The eldest prince, who was dumbfounded by Li Ye's series of questions, also murmured: "Why?"
"Won't it take ten days for their army to assemble?" Li Ye looked back at the eldest prince and asked.
"The letter says that armies from both regions will arrive at the imperial city within ten days," the eldest prince replied in a solemn voice.
Li Ye looked at the falling snowflakes, stretched out his hand to hold a sword flower, and said with a smile: "We are so close!"
The eldest prince was stunned, looked at him and asked: "How do you say this?"
"In three days, the army will set off!"
After saying this, Li Ye took out the Ruoshui Sword and walked to the garden below the living room.
