"The situation is very unfavorable for our Tiansheng!"

"How could this happen? The prince was actually arrested?!"

"Nishino's army is approaching us?!"

"What can we do? Our main force is gone. If Nishino comes and the prince is still in their hands, we will be very passive!"

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked, and there were waves of turmoil in their hearts, but most of them were panic.

Many of them have never been on the battlefield, but they have all heard of Feng Yang's name.

If such a tough female general were to attack, no one would be able to stop her except the Ninth Prince and King Chonglin!
The hall instantly became chaotic. Qin Xiao and Prime Minister Jiang were obviously not expecting this, and their expressions changed one after another.

Prime Minister Jiang gritted his teeth. He had thought that Qin Yiran was useless, but he never thought that Qin Yiran was such a useless person. Not only did he not defeat Xi Ye, he was also captured and used as a hostage!

Qin Xiao frowned, suddenly feeling lucky that he didn't kill Nan Wanyan yesterday.

Otherwise, once Xiye and Daxia know that Nan Wanyan is dead, they will definitely come to the city and defeat Tiansheng in one fell swoop.

It's just Qin Yiran, how could he be so useless?
"Get out!"

Qin Xiao was irritated and angry for a moment. He grabbed the memorial on the table and threw it at the soldier.

The soldiers stumbled out of the hall, and everyone looked at the gloomy Qin Xiao on the dragon chair in panic, with different thoughts.

Prime Minister Jiang gritted his teeth and spoke first, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Maybe it was Xi Ye who used a dirty trick, and His Highness the Crown Prince unfortunately fell into the trap."

"But since they didn't hurt the prince, it means there is still room for improvement."

Qin Xiao pinched him coldly and said nothing.

At this time, a military general responded, "Prime Minister Jiang's words are not painful. For the soldiers, when the general is captured, the entire army will become scattered sand."

"In any case, it is an established fact that the prince was captured. What we should discuss now is how to change the situation and send new generals to the front line as soon as possible, instead of waiting for the Nishino army to come and become passive!"

Prime Minister Jiang was speechless and could only retreat angrily, looking embarrassed.

Qin Xiao stared down at the general, "What suggestions do you have?"

The military general knelt down with a solemn expression and said loudly, "Given the current situation, I beg the Emperor to quickly send the Ninth Prince to the front line to turn the tide for our Tiansheng!"

Let the Ninth Prince go to the front line?
Everyone looked at each other with different expressions, and all looked at Qin Xiao on the dragon chair.

After all, I just beat the Ninth Prince to the point where he couldn't get out of bed, and now I'm going to ask him to send troops. This...

Qin Xiao pursed his lips and said nothing, his sharp eagle eyes filled with a bit of coldness.

Prime Minister Jiang frowned and stood up again to retort righteously, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"The Ninth Prince made a big mistake yesterday. If we send troops to the front line at this time, the soldiers may be dissatisfied and it will be self-defeating!"

The general who just proposed glared at Prime Minister Jiang angrily, "Whether it is the soldiers who will be dissatisfied or Prime Minister Jiang who is dissatisfied, everyone knows."

"Looking at it, we have a lot of people who are naturally victorious, brave and good at fighting, but there are not many who are worthy of being our commanders. The Ninth Prince is so powerful that even though he has only been back for more than three months, he has already conquered the best in the entire military camp. Conquer them all."

"In terms of force, he is undoubtedly the best in the world, and in terms of military strategy, he is unparalleled. He is a person who was born to fight on the battlefield. If the Ninth Prince is allowed to go out to lead the army now, Tiansheng will definitely win back a victory! "

Hearing this, Prime Minister Jiang gritted his teeth and really couldn't fault it.

Gu Mohan is the God of War, and at this critical moment, he really can't find anyone more powerful than him.

More and more important ministers began to agree with this general, including many who held high positions and fought on the battlefield. "Now that the Ninth Prince's marriage has been cancelled, there are no longer any trivial matters to hold back. It is indeed a good time to send troops!"

They all knelt down and said in unison, "I implore the Emperor to send the Ninth Prince to the expedition as soon as possible to solve our urgent need for Tiansheng!"

How could Qin Xiao not know that the situation was dire? It was only yesterday that he ordered Gu Mohan to be beaten. As a result, bad battle reports came today and Gu Mohan had to come to the rescue.

"quiet!"

"That traitor has been too aggressive recently. If I go to invite him now, wouldn't it be a slap in my face?"

As he said that, he glanced at Prime Minister Jiang with his cold eyes, "Prime Minister has always thought about the country. I will send you to Huairuo Palace to tell Yan Su that the military situation is urgent and ask him to send troops within the next two days!"

He was the one who suppressed Gu Mohan with all his strength last time. He had to punish Gu Mohan because he couldn't get off the stage. Now, let the prime minister invite him himself.

The emperor asked Prime Minister Jiang to invite the Ninth Prince?
Everyone's eyes became playful, staring at Prime Minister Jiang and whispering as if they were gloating.

Prime Minister Jiang clenched his fists, his eyes full of hatred and dissatisfaction.

They finally seized the opportunity to treat him. Maybe they could strike while the iron was hot and directly depose the Ninth Prince.

Who knew that the reversal would come so quickly? Yesterday he was arrogant in front of the Ninth Prince, but today he had to bow his head and ask him to send troops?
"Prime Minister Jiang?" Qin Xiao's tone became colder and colder on the dragon chair.

Prime Minister Jiang quickly came to his senses, suppressed the thousands of reluctances in his heart, and bowed respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and invite the Ninth Prince right now!"

That's all, after all, it's not like he can't bow his head if it threatens the safety of his family and country.

And when it comes to the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and Gu Mohan is not sure whether he can come back alive.

Qin Xiao nodded and gave up, waving his hand impatiently to dismiss the morning meeting, and went straight to the imperial study.

The ministers also retreated, and before leaving, everyone cast intriguing glances at Prime Minister Jiang.

Some people even said bluntly, "I was so arrogant yesterday, but today I have to humbly apologize to others. Do you think this is self-inflicted?"

"That's natural, and I don't know if the Ninth Prince is willing to appreciate it!"

"If this matter is not handled well, some people will be guilty!"

Prime Minister Jiang suppressed his anger, his clenched fists had bulging veins, and he threw away his sleeves with resentment.

Just wait, before long, he will make the arrogant and domineering Gu Mohan and these wallflowers unable to laugh again!
At that time, there was silence in Huairuo Hall. The Queen Mother and Aunt Zhu went to recite Buddha's name, and they did not know the news about the prince's accident for the time being.

Prime Minister Jiang asked a few questions and was led by the palace maid towards the side hall where Gu Mohan was.

On the couch, Gu Mohan, dressed in plain clothes, had a lazy posture. The open skirt of his clothes revealed his strong belly and chest wrapped in cotton.

He stared sideways out of the window, his handsome face with sharp edges like a knife was slightly pale, and his cold eyes were half-closed, which was intimidating.

Prime Minister Jiang gritted his teeth and stepped forward, his tone quite respectful, "My lord, please see your highness."

Gu Mohan turned a deaf ear and his attitude was very indifferent.

"Your Highness?" Prime Minister Jiang suppressed his anger and called out again tentatively, "I have something to report to Your Highness."

The man on the couch turned his head slowly, as if he had just discovered Prime Minister Jiang. He raised his long eyebrows and chuckled, "The wind is noisy today. My Highness thought it was noise, but I didn't expect that it was the Prime Minister who came."

"The Prime Minister was not so high-spirited yesterday. Why did he suddenly become so humble when he saw His Highness today?" (End of Chapter)
