On the wedding night, Concubine Doctor took two cute treasures and blew up the palace

Are the troops in Nishino approaching the city? !

Everyone was shocked again, they didn't know the real situation of the war.

In fact, the moment the news of Qin Yiran's capture was transmitted back to the court, Qin Xiao ordered his ministers to block the news. They must not let the people know about it to avoid panic and to prevent everyone from having negative thoughts.

But now that the people knew about it, they started to panic and panic.

"It turns out we were all defeated! Even if we catch Nan Wanyan, what's the point?!"

"More than just a defeat, Dangyang Canyon is our last line of defense. Not only was the line of defense broken, but the general was also captured. This situation is far from being reversed by catching Nan Wanyan!"

"Speaking of which, we are indeed the ones who started the war. Nishino is a person who pursues peace. Now that Liu Mu and the others are released, this is the best evidence!"

The common people spoke to each other, and the public opinion instantly overshadowed the joy, and the spread speed far exceeded everyone's reaction. In just half an hour, almost the whole city knew the news.

And I don’t know where it came from, saying that the princess of Daxia was so upright that she would rather sacrifice the flag for Xi Ye and Daxia than be a traitorous slave and kneel down to beg for mercy.

If Nan Wanyan dies, Tiansheng will face the end of being destroyed.

At this point, what everyone thought was "celebration and carnival" turned into frightening worries and panic in an instant. They were afraid that Nan Wanyan would not be able to think about it, so they all prayed that she would live well.

Merchants smashed their signs one after another, and tens of thousands of people swarmed to the palace gate to protest and sue for peace.

The pressure from public opinion was fierce. In order to suppress the riot, almost half of the imperial guardsmen were expelled from the palace.

After learning the news, Qin Xiao was furious in the imperial study. He overturned all the memorials, kicked down the broken wooden case, pointed at Eunuch Wu's nose and cursed, "A bunch of trash! They can't even hide a piece of news!"

"Not only is the imperial court in chaos, the capital is also in chaos!"

Eunuch Wu knelt on the ground with weak legs, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please calm down. I, my servant, I don't know what is going on."

Qin Xiao didn't have time to hold him accountable, and said sternly with cold and angry eyebrows, "Hurry up and pass on my decree, and order all civil and military officials to enter the palace immediately to discuss matters!"

"Yes!" Eunuch Wu crawled out of the imperial study room. Qin Xiao was so angry that his face turned red and his fingers cracked.

Soon, all the ministers except Gu Mohan and Qin Yinyuan were gathered in the Beichen Palace.

Everyone looked at each other uneasily, having heard what happened in the city.

"I almost didn't enter the palace just now. The mob behind me was pushing me and saying they wanted to chop me with a knife!"

"Yes, the situation outside the palace is really chaotic. No matter who goes out now, they will probably be attacked by a group of people."

"Ugh……"

The ministers were whispering in twos and threes, but Prime Minister Jiang seemed a little absent-minded.

Jiang Zhiyao has not returned home since last night. He sent people to look for her in teahouses and shops where she often went, but there was no trace.

I don’t know if this girl has been too stimulated to figure it out. I hope she has not been involved in the riots today and has returned home.

While thinking about it, Qin Xiao sat down on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression.

"I won't talk nonsense to you. You all know the situation in the city. The public opinion has fermented too quickly this time. Someone must be instigating it behind the scenes!"

"You all tell me how to deal with it!"

The courtiers looked at me and I looked at you. No one dared to stand up and speak out first.

Prime Minister Jiang put aside his worries about Jiang Zhiyao for the time being, and replied respectfully with clasped fists, "Your Majesty, it seems to me that only the courtiers who were in the palace at that time knew what Nan Wanyan said yesterday."

"But today the news suddenly spread to the ears of the people. It must be that there is a traitor among us who does not want peace."

Qin Xiaolong frowned and did not interrupt, but other ministers stood up and retorted coldly, "What Prime Minister Jiang said, now that things have happened, do you still want to go door to door to investigate?"

Prime Minister Jiang lowered his eyes sinisterly, "It's not necessary to track them down one by one." "Whoever benefits from the exposure of this matter will naturally be the most suspect."

Who benefits?

As soon as these words came out, almost all the courtiers had a guess in their hearts.

The Ninth Prince is probably the only one in the palace who least wants to see anything happen to Nan Wanyan. At this time, the old guy Prime Minister Jiang actually wants to point the finger at the Ninth Prince.

Qin Xiao's face suddenly turned ugly, and he stared at Prime Minister Jiang with a scrutinizing look.

At this time, a civil servant who advocated for peace stood up and said in a polite voice, "Everyone, please stop arguing."

"Now is not the time to pursue this issue. Public opinion is fierce. It is better to deal with the impact of public opinion as soon as possible."

Another civil servant quickly agreed, "Yes, now all the people in the city are on strike. Just now, Caichen heard many people discussing this matter on the way here."

"They are not actually afraid of war. They just feel that we have been entangled with Xi Ye for too long and have gradually lost our understanding of the meaning. In addition, the current situation is not good for us. If Princess Minghuang really goes If you sacrifice the flag, Tiansheng will be destroyed!"

Before Prime Minister Jiang and others could speak, another person stood up bravely and said, "Sir Lin is right. Now people are spreading the word that Nishino didn't want to cause a war. It was because we disagreed and sent troops to attack."

"However, the general of the Xiye army has a good attitude. He arrested the prince and others without killing them, and deliberately released a few of them. What happened today makes it look like we are not human beings inside and outside. Now that we have captured Nan Wanyan, it is even more... He was criticized by the common people.”

As soon as these three people who advocated peace came out to fight, more and more voices came to support them.

Looking around, there were obviously twice as many people in the court as before.

Prime Minister Jiang gritted his teeth, his face looked ugly, and he wanted to retort, but he couldn't find fault.

After all, everything these people say makes sense, but now they are extremely passive and have no room for change.

The atmosphere in the court was solemn. Everyone knew that the situation was not good. They were already at a disadvantage in foreign wars. If there was more civil strife now, they would really go crazy.

Qin Xiao also felt a headache this time, and suddenly felt powerless and waved his hand, "Okay, don't say anything anymore."

The ministers calmed down and looked at Qin Xiao's depressed state, feeling worried, "Your Majesty..."

Qin Xiao sighed, his eyes filled with confusion, "I just can't understand why it is so difficult to implement something that was clearly planned twenty years ago today."

Lord Lin felt the same and comforted him softly, "This is not the Emperor's fault."

"You were far-sighted and allowed King Chonglin to go deep into the Great Xia early. But things are unpredictable. We were all tricked by the Great Xia. No one expected that they had hidden themselves for so many years, and then a Princess Minghuang suddenly ran out. Such a thing happened. Big change.”

"If not, King Chonglin should have annexed Daxia some time ago."

"Yes." Qin Xiao took a deep breath and smiled as if he was self-deprecating, "Now it's better. Not only have Daxia's talents come out in large numbers to defeat our army, but there's also a God of War Emperor in the West."

"Even if Gu Mohan is no longer here, the comprehensive strength of the Xiye army was trained by him after all, and it is invincible."

Having said that, who would have thought that the famous God of War Emperor is by his side now, the sharpest spear in his hand?
  It's a pity that Qin Yansu doesn't want to fight, so he can't force him. After all, he is also his son.

Prime Minister Jiang and others did not speak again. The entire hall was silent, and the atmosphere seemed low and depressing.

For the first time, Qin Xiao felt that he had made a mistake, and sighed in silence, "Maybe times have changed, and times have also changed."

Master Lin quickly advised politely, "Your Majesty, please do not belittle yourself. The most important thing now is to handle the current situation well."

Qin Xiao didn't know it, so he raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently, "I just said a few words of complaint, so Lin Aiqing doesn't need to say it anymore."

"Where are Chong Lin and Su'er now? Bring them to me and discuss a solution together..."

As soon as these words were spoken, a guard rushed into the hall with a frightened expression, "Report to the Emperor that Daxia has sent envoys to request peace!" (End of this chapter)
