The more the emperor listened, the more gloomy his face became.【26nbsp;】
He raised his head for the first time and looked at the second prince.
The second prince saw this light in his brother's eyes for the first time. He felt shuddered and lowered his head.
"Second brother, why don't you say a word? What do you think?"
The second prince hurriedly said: "My brother...my brother also feels that this death is too heavy..."
The emperor laughed.
Although the decision of this personal expedition was made by the imperial commander himself, the Second Prince and others were extremely determined to lead the war at that time. How quickly did the limelight become so fast?
He laughed and said nothing.
At this time, Minister Jiang came out. He said: "The incomplete moon halo has been recorded in history books for a long time. It is just a very common natural phenomenon that happens every once in a while. As the saying goes, 'the moon halo repairs'
De, the waning moon repairs punishment', that is to say, when the moon is faint, then
It is God who tells us that moral cultivation is not enough, and the court needs to promote frugality, be compassionate to the people, reduce taxes, and stop fighting. Only in this way can the country prosper; and if there is a waning moon, it means that there is something wrong in the court.
There are so few unjust cases that require rebellion against Zhao Xue..."
The Second Prince is waiting for you to look at me, and I look at you. I didn't expect this man to say such a thing.
However, when they wanted to refute, they were at a loss for words and could not argue with this talented man from the south of the Yangtze River.
The emperor turned to Xiang Wuji and asked, "Xiang Wuji, what do you think?"
Xiang Wuji said loudly: "My opinion is the same as that of Jiang Shilang. Chen's father once talked about a total solar eclipse. That year's total solar eclipse also shocked the government and the public, and people were panicked. The situation that day was more than a hundred times more terrible than today... But...
It was just a natural phenomenon, and there was no need to be alarmed. As expected, later on, the late emperor neglected corvee and paid little in taxes and implemented benevolent government. Not only did our country in the north remain unscathed, but it grew stronger and stronger, which laid the foundation for its later prosperity..."
The emperor was very satisfied with these words.
He pondered for a moment.
At this time, Jiang Shilang took the opportunity and said: "Your Majesty, we are now at a stalemate with Beiyan Dongchi and have suffered heavy casualties. It is better to withdraw our troops."
The Second Prince said angrily: "How can we, the Northern Kingdom, show weakness and withdraw our troops?"
Jiang Shilang asked: "Why can't the Northern Kingdom withdraw its troops?"
The emperor remained silent.
Zhu Chengxu also roared: "Ha... He dares to fight to the end in Beiyan Dongchi, but our Northern Kingdom can't do it?? Minister Jiang, you are contemptuous of the Northern Kingdom, and you are also contemptuous of His Majesty..."
