Chapter 888 Whispering
The morning air is unprecedentedly oppressive.

All the people lowered their heads, with white cloths wrapped around their heads, and black veils over their court clothes, to commemorate the [-] victims of the Qiongya Battle!
Meng Tianji did not attend.

He is the god king and the religious leader of the country. When such an important event happened, the first task is naturally to lead the temples across the country to pray for the victims.

It's just that Meng Tianji was absent from the early court, so Su Yun, as his agent, had to come here on his behalf.After Ye Junran heard about this, he was even more afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he put on eunuch clothes and stood behind her as Ye Gonggong.

Considering that men and women will not get close, Su Yun is arranged to be behind the bead curtain. The courtiers know where she is, but they can't see her face.

After the three knocks, the courtiers began to express their opinions on the battle of Qiongya.

Veteran Jiang Ya took the lead in attacking: "Your Majesty, our army has suffered a great loss in this battle. We should kill the general who leads the army to cheer up the hearts of the people!"

"Yes, according to the plan, our army was supposed to wipe out Huangluo in Qiongya, but it turned into a reverse encirclement! It can be seen that there is Huangluo in the army, and that person's status is not low!" Bai Yanqing said somewhat speak plainly.

Ye Junran heard the words, lowered his head, bit Su Yun's ear and said, "Unfortunately, they never dreamed that the biggest spy was standing beside them."

"Don't say a few words to me, so many people have died, no one will be in a good mood!" Su Yun poked him with her elbow.

Ye Junran shut his mouth and listened to the courtiers continue to argue.

"It's human nature for the two armies to send spies to each other when they are fighting each other. It's because of our incompetence that someone stole the information because we didn't keep our mouths tight. We can't blame others for everything!" Jiang Ya blew his beard and said loudly, "Patriarch Bai is excellent in martial arts, why didn't he think of leading an army to the battlefield by himself?"

The relationship between him and Bai Yanqing has always been at odds, not to mention that the coach this time is his nephew, and half of the generals in the army are descendants of the Jiang family!Now that a white-haired person sends a black-haired person, one can imagine the grief in my heart!However, Bai Yanqing was still splashing dirty water. If he hadn't taken care of Junqian, he would have already fought with Bai Yanqing!

It's a pity that Bai Yanqing didn't know how to advance or retreat at all. Seeing the old man making things difficult for him, he scolded: "Old man Jiang, who are you talking to! Could it be your Jiang family who betrayed the information, so hurry up and whitewash your descendants!"

"The Jiang family has been loyal to the country for generations, and never dared to have second thoughts, but the Bai family is a noble of Huangluo, so there is no guarantee that they will not leave a way out for themselves!" The Mei family, who are friendly with the Jiang family, agreed.

Bai Yanqing's face turned blue: "My ancestors went to the body to poison, but they committed a serious crime of extermination! Even if they want to turn back, Huang Luo will not accept it!"

"If you really want to turn back, how could Huang Luo not accept it! No amount of hatred from the ancestors can compare to the actual benefits! As long as you can show the gift of meeting, the Ye family will accept you!" Jiang Ya cursed, The more he looked at it now, the more he felt disgusted by Bai Yanqing.

Bai Yanqing was also furious, and was about to retort when Ji Dan couldn't help it.

"Shut up, all of you!" He slapped the armrest vigorously, and cursed, "The First World War ruined hundreds of thousands of troops, and the poison has reached the point of destroying the country! How dare you still make a big fuss over such a small profit ! You! You—”

"Father, please calm down. They are too worried about the situation to say anything." Ji Mieye said perfunctorily. He didn't care who the Ji family and the Ye family would win. He just wanted to ascend the throne as soon as possible.

"If you are worried about the situation, come up with a feasible plan for me! It's really...really... shameless to waste time on verbal disputes!" Ji Dan scolded angrily. The situation was getting more and more critical, but these people only thought about themselves The benefits are really unbearable for him.

The ministers were silent when they heard the words.

The reason why they made noise in the court without regard for face was not only to shirk responsibility, but also because there was really nothing to do!

After the battle at Qiongya, Huang Luo's army was already unstoppable, and the only way to retreat was to retreat!

Of course, they can also consider the scorched earth tactic, but the scorched earth tactic requires the cooperation of the people, and the people only believe in the god king, but the god king still has an ambiguous position.

"Why, no one is talking anymore? Where did the voice just now go! You don't want everyone to talk when you talk, and you don't want everyone to jump around more than anyone else when you talk!" Ji Dan said viciously. Cursing, "Incompetence! Incompetence! It's all incompetence!"

"Father, please calm down. In fact, this matter is not completely without room for change. I just heard..." Ji Mieye raised his eyebrows, looking hesitant to speak.

Seeing his strange expression, Ji Dan asked, "Could it be that you came up with something?"

Ji Mieye said: "I want to ask my father to sacrifice himself for the sake of the overall situation!"

"What do you mean!" Ji Dan's face turned cold, he loves power the most, how could he sacrifice himself to help others.

Ji Mieye said frankly: "Now that I am poisoned, I have no soldiers to defend and no danger to defend. If I continue to fight, I will only hurt more Li people. Since there is only one death left and right, why not... take the initiative to ask for peace and sign the ceded agreement." Contract, after the Huangluo people retreat, we will immediately tear up the treaty and chase them from behind!"

Speaking of this, he said with a fierce look in his eyes: "I know this plan is a bit sinister, but it is not poisonous and not a husband. If you must stick to etiquette, integrity, and shame, then you can only wait for the country to perish!"

"...This..." Ji Dan hesitated a little. From the bottom of his heart, he actually agreed with Ji Mieye's strategy very much!
But he can't express his support publicly. As a monarch, he still has to face!

Su Yun behind the bead curtain frowned.

I have long known that the Meng family is shameless, but I don't know that they have reached such a shameless situation.

In order to win, even the most basic moral contract can be disobeyed, the contract signed today will be torn up immediately tomorrow!And he still has the big banner of serving the country and the community on his face!

On the contrary, Ye Junran deeply agreed with the thoughts of the Ji family father and son: "They are really heroes!"

"What do you mean?" Su Yun asked.

Ye Jun said: "I can bend and stretch a man, but the only pity is that the methods are too petty, and the things are too vicious, and there is no demeanor that a king should have. So at best, I can only be a hero, not a hero."

"They are discussing how to deal with you, yet you still have the leisure to judge them!" Su Yun rolled her eyes again, Ye Junran's mentality was beyond her comprehension.

Ye Junran looked at her as if she was uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Why don't you have the time to evaluate them? In the current situation, I definitely have the upper hand! Since I am the upper hand, why can't I be more tolerant to the loser?"

"Forget it, they won't show you any tolerance when they have the upper hand." Su Yun said with cold water.

Ye Junran bit his ear and said, "Unfortunately, they will never have a chance to gain the upper hand."

Su Yun heard the words and was about to ask carefully when she suddenly heard Ji Dan say: "Miss Su, what's your opinion in this situation?"

"...This...I...I don't know much about military affairs, or...It's up to His Majesty to decide!" Ye Junran replied with a squeeze of his throat.
