Changsun Wuji's eyes turned cold and he said slowly: "As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, you should be aware of the enemy's tracks and take precautions in advance to avoid an ambush. What's more, all the army died in the ambush, but General Niu escaped.
This is abandoning the three armies and ignoring them, which is a cowardly act. If forgiven, how can the soldiers of the three armies rest in peace?"
"You are using strong words to incriminate. If you hadn't repeatedly asked for reinforcements and set a time limit, General Niu would have been able to defend Qizhou and hold back the Tibetan army. How could he have been in a hurry and been ambushed? I really want to talk about you.
I'm also guilty." Wei Zheng didn't give Changsun Wuji any face and drank directly.
"Insolent! Returning reinforcements is a holy will and a collective decision of all the ministers. As a general, he should have thought that Tibet would ambush him and took precautions in advance. If one general is incompetent and the entire army is exhausted, he should be beheaded." Changsun Wuji shouted.
The words conveyed endless chill.
Niu Jinda looked at Changsun Wuji with a complicated expression, and then at Li Zhi who was not trying to stop him. He suddenly understood and burst out laughing: "Hey hey hey... Hahaha... I laughed at Duke Lu at first, and Duke E was stupid.
Now it seems that this person is extremely stupid. If you want to kill him, just kill him. This country is no longer surnamed by etiquette, so why not die?!"
The whole room was shocked by what he said.
Changsun Wuji was so angry that his face was livid, but he did not say anything. At this time, he jumped out and became suspicious. It seemed that the censor next to him glanced at him, and the other party nodded knowingly and shouted: "You are deceiving the public with your evil words, and you deserve to die. Your Majesty, Niu
The general’s actions are against the law and should be executed!”
"Insolent!" Wei Zheng stared at the censor and shouted.
The other party refused to give in at all: "Master Wei, I have no intention of offending my superiors. I am only talking about the laws. Didn't Master Wei always put the laws in his mouth and demand that the court must abide by the laws in every word and deed? General Niu abandoned the three armies and ignored them.
Those who escape alone should be beheaded, not to mention those who deceive the public with their evil words and slander the Holy One should be executed."
His words were resounding, as if he were the embodiment of justice.
Wei Zheng ignored it and looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi went silent and his face was deserted.
Seeing this scene, Wei Zheng still didn't know that the one who really wanted Niu Jinda's death was the current emperor. He felt sad. Thinking of the few princes who had left, he couldn't help but sigh. He silently took off his official hat and put it on the ground, and took off his official robe.
, took out his official seal, took a deep look at Niu Jinda, turned around and left without saying a word.
The back is lonely and lonely!
No one tried to dissuade or persuade him to stay, and everyone remained silent.
"Your Majesty, why is this so?"
Niu Jinda suddenly yelled and slammed his head against the pillar next to him.
Blood splatters everywhere, it's alluring and dazzling!
Niu Jinda sat paralyzed on the ground, staring at Changsun Wuji, his eyes full of hatred, his neck tilted, and he was lifeless.
A generation of princes failed to die on the battlefield, but he still hated the Manna Palace.
"presumptuous!"
Li Zhi suddenly stood up and scolded with a cold face: "The guilty man actually committed suicide in the Manlu Hall. This is humiliating me. Come, the Niu Mansion will be sealed up and sent to the prison to wait for punishment."
"According to the order!" Liu Dewei, the Minister of Punishment, agreed bravely, with a complex expression on his face.
They are all old people who have fought side by side, and it is inevitable that their lips will be broken and their teeth will be cold.
"Command, General Xun, the warrior, has made great achievements in resisting the Tibetans. He has been promoted to the general of the auxiliary state. He will open the government and the three divisions of Yitong and command the Beiya Division. He is ordered to lead the troops back to Chang'an as soon as possible and be fully responsible for the defense. Please withdraw."
Li Zhi waved his hands with an incomparable majesty, and his somewhat immature face was full of coldness and solemnity.
…
Wei Zheng hurried to Liang Guogong's mansion and was led to the study by the housekeeper. When he saw Fang Xuanling making tea and reading a book, he was very angry and said anxiously: "Prime Minister, you still have Yaxing to read. Niu Jinda is going to be killed."
If he is beheaded, the imperial court will be in chaos if this continues. Please think of a solution quickly."
"I am a sick person now and am idle at home. It is inconvenient for me to interfere in the affairs of the court. Besides, with the eldest grandson here, it is not my turn to intervene." Fang Xuanling flipped through the book leisurely.
Wei Zheng became even more angry. He sat down on the side and asked with a straight face: "Tell me the truth, what do you think? Also, what does the Lord mean?"
This sage refers to Li Er.
Fang Xuanling put down the book and signaled the housekeeper to leave. With a deep look in his eyes, he said slowly: "The world is already in chaos, and it is not others who are in chaos. It is your own fault that will make you miserable, so be wise and protect yourself!"
"To put it lightly, I am an old minister, so it doesn't matter. You old guys conquered the country back then, but now you have the heart to watch the country being in flames and the world in chaos?" Wei Zheng asked in return.
"So what if you don't want to give in?"
Fang Xuanling's eyes shone with wisdom, and she said coldly: "If it is a foreign enemy, we can share our hatred and deal with the enemy unanimously. If it is a rebel, we can mobilize troops to suppress it. But now the source of the trouble lies in the imperial court. What are you going to do? Can't you rebel?"
"
Wei Zheng was speechless after talking.
After a long while, Wei Zheng asked: "Then, where is your Majesty? What is his condition now?"
"Living deep in the harem, no one knows about her. She is probably under house arrest."
"Is it true or not that I'm crazy?" Wei Zheng asked.
Fang Xuanling narrowed his eyes, stared at Wei Zheng and said: "I have conducted a secret investigation, and no one knows whether he is really crazy or not. General Niu Jinda has been canonized as the general of the auxiliary country. Don't you want to open the mansion and the third division of Yitong?"
Do you think it’s strange?”
"You mean, this is the intention of the Holy One to check and balance the new king?" Wei Zheng was not stupid, he knew it right away, his face changed drastically, and he suddenly said: "No wonder the new king doesn't tolerate General Niu."
"The truth is no longer important. I heard that the Hanzhou army arrived in Minzhou, and Xue Zhi from Minzhou defected to the Han Dynasty. I know Xue Zhi, but I guess it won't happen unless Xue Wanche..."
Wei Zheng couldn't help but trembled and asked: "Are you saying that after the failure of Lanzhou's support, Xue Wanche went to the west and is now with the King of Han, so Xue Zhi..."
"Other than that, is there any other explanation?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Wei Zheng remained silent, his thoughts complicated.
The governors of every state in the imperial court all defected to the King of Han, which shows that people's hearts were unstable and the imperial court's prestige was completely lost. Once the news of Niu Jinda's murder spreads, the world will only become more chaotic.
With a long sigh, Wei Zheng became increasingly irritable.
Fang Xuanling took out a map and spread it out, and continued: "According to reliable information, Lanzhou, Hezhou, Taozhou and Minzhou have all fallen into the hands of the Han Dynasty, cutting off the return of Tibet. They will definitely attack Qinzhou next."
, Qinzhou has hoarded a large amount of grain and grass. Once lost, the Tubo army will definitely panic and have two options: one is to attack Chang'an by force, and the other is to flee south. However, the Turkic army has already moved south, and the possibility of a force attack by Tibet is greater."
"hiss--"
Wei Zheng took a breath of air, stared at the map, and clenched his fists.
However, Fang Xuanling was not finished yet, and continued: "The imperial court is surrounded by enemies on both sides, and coupled with internal instability, it will definitely not be able to stop the meeting. However, the Turks and Tubo came from afar and lacked food and grass. Over time, they will inevitably suffer.
Agreeing to negotiate a peace, and even making a secret deal, allowing Tibet and Turks to join forces to attack the King of Han."
"This is impossible?" Wei Zheng blurted out, unable to accept such a dirty thing.
However, Fang Xuanling sneered and said: "Tubo and Turks all have a big hatred against the King of Han. As soon as the King of Han dies, the imperial court will be relieved of its great trouble. It is beneficial to all three parties. Why not?"
"this……"
"this……"
For a moment, Wei Zheng didn't know what to say.
…
Manna Hall.
The ministers dispersed, and the blood had been swept away.
Li Zhi sat alone, his eyes were cold, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
A beautiful figure came from the screen at the back, smiling sweetly and sounding like the tinkling of spring water. It was quiet, elegant, but also somewhat charming and exciting: "Your Majesty, you are tired. Let's drink some lotus seed soup."
"It's Mei Niang, why are you here?" Li Zhi's eyes lit up when he saw the person coming, all his worries disappeared, and he felt extremely happy instantly.
"I heard that General Niu committed suicide in this hall. I thought that the Holy Master must be in a depressed mood, so he came here specifically to chat with him. If there is any further disturbance, I will leave first." He turned around and left.
Li Zhi grabbed her and said quickly: "When Mei Niang comes, I will be very happy, so why bother?"
The charming girl smiled brightly, blooming like a mountain flower.
Li Zhi suddenly felt that the whole world was full of sunshine, strength, and he was in a good mood. He took a few mouthfuls of the lotus seed soup and drank it, and said with a smile: "With Mei Niang by my side, I can endure no matter how hard it is."
"Your Majesty is a strange man, how can he be defeated by some difficulties? Speaking of strange men, including the one from Hanzhou, it's hard to tell the difference between you two." Mei Niang calmly applied eye drops.
"Meiniang, what do you want to say?" Li Zhi was a little unhappy.
"How can a little girl dare to talk nonsense about important matters in the imperial court? However, I heard that the King of Han came with troops, but he was too late to show up. I don't know what he thought? The King of Han is a rare man in the world. What if... look at me
, It’s all nonsense, how can a woman understand national affairs?”
Li Zhi was filled with jealousy and burning with jealousy - there can only be one amazing man in the world, and that's me!
Changsun Wuji's plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves under the guise of negotiating peace flashed through his mind.
