Chapter 390 I Don't Care
The emperor stood up from the dragon chair.

When listening to Dong Shilang reading Lin Fan's essay, the emperor's heart was icy cold.

Sitting here, he could clearly see the expressions and demeanor of everyone below.

In the face of the civil and military ministers, he saw shock, questioning, scrutiny...

Such gaze made the emperor extremely uncomfortable.

Is this the look a courtier should have when looking at the king?
The only thing that comforted him was Uncle Zhongqin's attitude.

Uncle Zhongqin stood up and called Lin Fan a "thief".

"Aiqing wants to lead troops against the enemy," the emperor said in a deep voice, "I will give you this opportunity, Aiqing should think carefully about how to defend against them."

After saying this, the emperor strode down and went outside the hall.

Eunuch Ji hurriedly yelled "Back to court" and quickly chased after him.

All the ministers subconsciously saluted and sent them off, and when they came back to their senses, the emperor had already left without a trace.

For a moment, everyone could only look at each other.

Is what is written in this proclamation true or false?
Judging by the emperor's shy attitude, it might be true...

So now, what should we do?
Huang Taishi and Fan Taibao obviously became the backbone of the crowd, and they were immediately surrounded.

Fan Taibao coughed twice.

Grand Master Huang said: "It happened suddenly, and we two old men are also confused. I can't be in a hurry. Listen to the old man, what to do, and the old man will go back to the imperial study."

There were headless flies scurrying around, Grand Master Huang stopped him, saying: "The Taibao is not feeling well, he has to go back to the yamen and sit down to relax."

That being said, no one stood in the way.

The two elders walked out slowly, and when they passed by Dong Shilang, Grand Master Huang took both the declaration of war and the letter to the world.

When Dong Shilang handed it over, there was only a wat board left in his hand, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

He wanted to say something, but when Shi Shangshu shook his head at him, he backed away.

Returning to the side of Shi Shangshu, Dong Shilang lowered his voice and said: "The lower officials are very chaotic."

"I feel clearer." Shi Shangshu patted his subordinate on the shoulder and said, "Things that I couldn't figure out before have been explained."

Dong Shilang wanted to ask more questions, but thought that there were too many people talking here, so he held back first.

On the other side, Feng Zhong pursed his lips.

With such an interruption just now, he can't even bother discussing with An Beihou now.

The two of them were in the same situation, they attacked Xizhou City together, they overthrew Qiyang Mansion together, and they also turned a blind eye and returned to the capital.

Yongninghou's answer was very sincere, and Feng Zhong's heart was offended immediately, but he didn't dare to discuss it with Anbeihou.

What if An Beihou's thinking is different from his?

Not only him, Feng Zhong guessed, in the next few days, there will be a lot of discussions in the Thousand Steps Corridor, they must only talk about things, no one will show their own thoughts, they have to hide them.

Uncle Zhongqin...

Thinking of this, Feng Zhong sighed.

He and Uncle Zhongqin also fought together in the past.

"Uncle, you..." Feng Zhong hesitated, and said, "It may not be easy to defend the city, you..."

Uncle Zhongqin gave him a sideways look, and said coldly, "I don't have time to tell whether you and those thieves are together, but don't let me catch you, or I won't be polite."

After speaking, he threw off his sleeves and strode outside.

Feng Zhong stayed where he was, with a wooden face, and shook his head.

As for Uncle Zhongqin, after leaving the Golden Luan Hall, he went to the Imperial Study Room.

Eunuch Ji welcomes him in, and Uncle Zhongqin enters to greet the emperor.

"What's Ai Qing's idea?" the emperor asked.

Uncle Zhongqin sat down and said: "My idea is very simple, to defend the Imperial City of the capital for the emperor."

"What do you think of that proclamation?" the emperor asked again.

Uncle Zhongqin raised his eyebrows: "I don't care."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he read a bit of scrutiny in the eyes of the emperor.

Uncle Zhongqin made up his mind.

Of course he could yell at Lin Fan and Qin Yin, but no matter how eloquently he scolded, it was impossible to dispel the doubts in the emperor's heart.

"What is the son of the former prince, what is the edict of the first emperor, it is all a matter of Chen Zhima rotten millet," Zhongqin Bo said, "I don't care about those, the only thing I care about is the concubine Shun. The empress is the emperor's concubine. She did something wrong before and was thrown into the cold palace. She deserved it.

She is in the cold palace to atone for her sins. As a father, I can't share the burden for her, but I also want to do my best to give her more credit.

Instead of looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, if the minister can defend the city, the empress can also comfort and relax.

Your majesty, it's autumn, the capital will soon be winter.

I was exposed to the cold back then, and I know that the cold winter is unbearable. Xifang Palace has not been repaired for a long time, and it is not warm enough to light a charcoal basin. I am reluctant to let my mother suffer. "

All these words are the sincere words of Uncle Zhongqin, and he never lied to the emperor.

He really didn't care whether the first emperor passed down his edict, whether Lin Fan was the son of the first prince, or how the first prince died.

None of that matters.

Everything he did was for Concubine Shun and the Weng family.

The sincerity and sincerity are naturally exposed, and the words are sincere, and there is no fault in the slightest.

It is also more appetizing to the emperor.

The emperor is too suspicious, and now, the trend is even more like a war.

Uncle Zhongqin said such a truth, but it is more effective.

The emperor did listen.

He thought of what Zhao Qi said that day outside the imperial study.

Just like Qi'er's bastard temperament, after he became a father, he also knew how to sympathize with his mother and concubine.

Uncle Zhongqin really liked Concubine Shun, a foreign girl.

Compared with the hesitant guys like An Beihou and Feng Zhong, Uncle Zhong Qin looked the most reliable.

After all, if the throne changes hands, Marquis Anbei will still be Marquis Anbei, and General Feng will still be General Feng. However, even if Uncle Zhongqin can keep his title, what will Concubine Shun and Zhao Qi do?
For the sake of his daughter and grandson, Uncle Zhongqin will firmly stand by his side.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor felt that Uncle Zhongqin was more pleasing to the eye.

Boss to old, a fight may not be able to stop Qin Yin and Lin Fan.

"Aiqing has a heart, but just having a heart, she can't stop the army," the emperor asked, "How will Aiqing stop them?"

Uncle Zhongqin replied: "Stick to it.

The capital has a strong city wall, and if there is no siege weapon, it cannot be easily buckled.

They also want to let the world's surname be Zhao, and inherit the Great Zhou, so they won't use catapults, and they won't shoot rockets into the city. What they can use are ladders and carts, which makes it easier for us to defend the city a lot.

There is enough food and grass in Beijing, but they may not have enough supplies. When winter comes, the road will become more difficult and the scheduling will be even more troublesome.

The state capitals along the way dared to let them cross the border, but they never dared to give them food and grass. Instead, the emperor could announce it to the world and dispatch troops to catch the thieves.

Not to mention the government soldiers, when the troops from the western and southern borders arrive, they will be able to win a big victory if they cooperate from inside to outside.

We just have to work together and hold on to the initial offensive until they are exhausted. "
