Chapter 362 Lessons from the past
Dong Shilang took the booklet and went over.

Opening it up, it was indeed Yongning Hou's familiar handwriting.

Look at the content again...

Every word and sentence, sinking and sinking.

After the news of the army's entry into Xizhou came back, he and Shi Shangshu discussed in private whether they should continue to attack Xiliang royal court.

Shi Shangshu thought more carefully, analyzed them one by one, and thought it would be better to withdraw the troops.

Dong Shilang sounds very reasonable, and naturally he will not continue to shout to go west, but at this moment, looking at this book...

The reason is still the same.

The army had to retreat.

It is this "have to" that makes people feel aggrieved.

Even the officials of the Ministry of War like him sitting in the rear are aggrieved. What is the state of mind of those soldiers who are looking westward on the city wall of Xizhou?
It will only be more aggrieved.

But he could only restrain himself and endure, not daring to imagine the scene of breaking through the royal court.

Subconsciously, Dong Shilang wanted to wipe his face.

Just as he raised his hand, he suddenly remembered that he only dried his hands and didn't wipe his face, so he could only hold back immediately.

Adjust your mood and continue to look down...

Seeing Old Hou Ye speak for An Beihou and the others, Dong Shilang choked up and said: "This, this is really..."

He couldn't go on talking, so he could only hastily return the notebook to Grand Master Huang.

Then, without worrying about getting the booklet stained with water, he raised his hand and stroked his face vigorously twice.

Taishi Huang said in a low voice: "Shut up your temper."

"I know," Dong Shilang forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "I just feel uncomfortable, it's not easy for old Hou Ye."

Grand Master Huang said again: "I want to hand over the booklet, and those who can persuade the emperor, of course I will..."

After speaking, he just let out a low sigh.

How could Dong Shilang fail to understand what the old grand master said?

The old grand master was not sure about persuading the emperor.

Also.

From the day the decree was issued to today, are you still persuading me?

The emperor can't listen to it!
However, the persuasion has to be persuaded.

Since they are the courtiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, where the emperor did something wrong, they must persevere and persuade them to the end.

"The old man is leaving first." Grand Master Huang put away the notebook.

Dong Shilang watched Huang Taishi off.

The half umbrella lent him to cover the rain was removed, and the rain fell again.

Dong Shilang turned around and strode back to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

He must have a good talk with Shi Shangshu again.

Before the army arrived in Beijing, those of them in Beijing must find a way to persuade the emperor.

The army has been out for half a year, and they have achieved such excellent results. They should be greeted with cheers and celebrations, not blame!
Difficult in rainy days.

Huang Taishi is getting old and walking slowly.

When we arrived at the imperial study room, we showed the papers to the emperor, and Grand Master Huang sat aside, watching the emperor's expression change.

Perhaps this letter was too "bitter", and the emperor couldn't bear it, so he threw the copy on the ground heavily.

Eunuch Ji shrank his neck and picked it up.

"What a Qin Yin," the emperor scolded, "everyone says he is upright, loyal, and single-minded, what is he upright? Returning to the imperial court as a teacher? It's almost the same if you lead troops to force the palace!"

Huang Taishi asked: "What does the emperor mean, tell them not to come back?"

emperor:……

Not coming back, of course impossible.

Grand Master Huang said again: "Earlier, the Empress Dowager asked the old minister what she thought about the future situation. To be honest, the old minister didn't have a special way to get the best of both worlds.

Now it seems that after they return to Beijing, the emperor still deserves to be rewarded.

We won Xizhou, Xiliang will not move for a few years, and Nanshu is a wall, Xiliang will not move, they will not attack alone.

In other words, our Great Zhou will have no worries about foreign enemies in the next few years, or even more than ten years.

Since there is no need to fight, the Marquis of Yongning should spend his old age peacefully.

Lin Xiaozi is young and looking for another official position.

It's all still under the eyes of the emperor. "

The emperor thought about Huang Taishi's words, but did not make a sound.

Taishi Huang was not in a hurry, and continued to chatter.

His purpose is not to persuade the emperor, but to let the emperor stabilize. After all, Deng Guoshi is dead, and Huang Taishi doesn't know what backhand Qin and Lin are hiding. He has to wait for them to make a move before he can follow along. Sing the trick.

Maybe it was the ones he nagged about, which barely made sense.

The emperor didn't make any comments and only asked him to withdraw.

After Huang Taishi left, the emperor read Yongninghou's notebook again, and was so annoyed that he still fell on the ground.

What a mess!
Regardless of how Grand Master Huang tried to persuade him, it's bad to be bad.

I held my nose and endured it, but I was still upset.

When Taishi Huang returned to Qianbulang, the rain seemed to stop.

There is stagnant water on the ground, and I can't walk fast.

He walked slowly at a slow pace, and those who were concerned came up to help him for a while, and discussed with him.

Grand Master Huang snorted softly: "The one surnamed Dong has a quick mouth."

"Master Dong is also concerned about the Marquis of Yongning." The man hastily explained for Dong Shilang.

Grand Master Huang snorted again, muttering in his heart, if it wasn't for Dong Shilang's quick talk, he wouldn't have shown it to him!

Speaking of which, what kind of backhand does Lin Fan have?

These days, he has pondered a lot, but he still can't figure it out.

Looking forward to it, and curious too.

For an old man like him, he can't sleep well at night!

The next day, there was no rain.

On the Golden Luan Hall, there were bursts of thunder.

The news of the army's return to the court was of course to be notified to all parties, but the issue of how to deal with the Qin and Lin families was once again brought to the fore.

Not to mention the fact that the Ministry of War fought hard with reason, and several old censors even gave a long speech, wishing to print the ruts of the old and modern traitors who framed loyal ministers and finally brought irreparable results all over the floor tiles of the hall to warn the emperor.

Taishi Huang and Taibao Fan exchanged glances.

I have to say that the old censors tried their best.

Even, there was a censor surnamed Gu who almost bluntly said, "The emperor threw all the mistakes to that Deng Guoshi. Anyway, the traitor is dead. After death, he will make a contribution to the emperor. The emperor hurried down this ladder and waited for Yongning." After they return to Beijing, we people will continue to persuade them to make peace, and each of us will take a step back, so that everything will be peaceful in the future!" he shouted.

Grand Master Huang quietly glanced at the emperor, and shook his head secretly.

It is said that history is a mirror, but not everyone is willing to look in the mirror.

The old master knew very well that these were the things the emperor was most impatient to hear.

In particular, the "learn from the past", but the front cart is a cart pushed by people, followed by a carriage with two horses, they are not the same at all.

How can the emperor have the patience to listen, and how can he listen to it?
The people on the dragon chair finally got annoyed and asked aloud, "Where did the army go?"

Dong Shilang stood up and replied: "Calculating the distance, we should have passed Qiyang Mansion, and we should be able to enter Guanzhou tomorrow, and in another ten days..."

"Oh," the emperor replied, "how about this, who loves to go to greet you immediately? No matter how much you say, it's not as good as what they said themselves. Whoever of you go and listen to what they say in person, and then report to me ?”

Master Huang frowned slightly.

Dong Shilang said: "Go, minister, please go!"
