Red makeup against the world

Chapter 866 Amazing news

As Yao Zhiyue said, Mrs. Yao knew the risks involved, how could it be as easy as she thought?

Now the war situation in the North is unclear, and the internal political situation in the DPRK is unstable.Those dignitaries and ministers who had been on good terms with the prince in the past all tightened their tails and behaved like men, and it was a troubled time.

Now that Feng Mingxian has fallen, the prince's family dominates.

When King Qi was not yet the crown prince, and when he was evenly matched with Feng Mingxian, the Wu family stood on King Qi's side with a clear-cut banner, which immediately gave King Qi the initiative.

Although Mrs. Yao is a woman in the back house, she also knows that behind the deposed prince, there must be King Qi's handwriting.

The Wu family is a veteran noble, and when the crown prince ascends the throne, the Wu family will be even more prosperous and have the merits of following the dragon.At this time, everyone can't wait to hide as deeply as possible.

Only the Wu family members became more elated.Even the servants who came out to buy food had their backs straighter when walking on the street.

At this time, to murder Wu Zhengxiang's wife?Mrs. Yao felt that she was looking for death.

However, if he didn't go, Yao Zhiyue would tell Yao Shangshu about the old things.In this back house, I am afraid that I will lose all power.

Mrs. Yao was full of worries, and she didn't know how to make a choice.

……

After Mrs. Yao left, Yao Zhiyue got up slowly, picked up the tortoiseshell ivory comb on the dressing table, and combed her long hair again and again.

She looked at the girl in the mirror and burst into a beautiful smile.

Compared with before, her smile hides a bit of innocence and cruelty, and a bit less girlish sweetness.

Quan Moxian, no matter what kind of man he is, whether he is a second wife or not, she will never marry him.Her heart was already fully occupied by Wu Zhengxiang, without leaving a single gap.

As long as she can marry him, she can overcome all difficulties and eradicate those who stand in her way!
Xianghan came in with a tray carefully, and put tea and pastries on the table.Madam had just left, she thought she would see Miss Six who was very angry, but seeing her smiling face, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

It was night, a post soldier covered in wind and dust, with three poles and eight hundred miles of urgent flags planted behind his back, rode his horse to the foot of the capital city with thousands of miles of smoke and dust, and entered the capital city at night.

In the early morning of the next day, an astonishing news spread in Beijing.

The crown prince led the army to advance greedily, and was attacked by the Ba family army outside Jinyang, Bingzhou, and the army suffered heavy losses.The imperial army fled, scattered into several groups and survived.Dong Gongwei led the guards of the mansion to protect the prince and fled into Jinyang City, defending to the death.

The rebels colluded with traitors in Jinyang city, broke into the city and burned the granary.After fighting all night, the rebels were driven out of the city, but the city suffered heavy losses, and the prince was also seriously injured.

Only the prefect of Jinyang City was left, leading the army and civilians to guard the city.However, the lack of clothing and food is difficult to last, and the military situation is like a fire, and the imperial court is requested to immediately increase troops for assistance.

It is said that when Emperor Qinglong received the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood in the palace.

Rumors blew through Luoyang City like the wind.In the streets and alleys, people lowered their voices and spread the news with their noses and eyes, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Emperor Qinglong urgently recruited important ministers to discuss matters.

Headed by Prime Minister Zhu Zihou, Guan Jinghuan, a scholar of Jixian Academy, and six ministers gathered in Xuanzheng Hall.

Emperor Qinglong was furious, and ordered the Ministry of War to immediately draw up a countermeasure, transfer the Gyeonggi camp, transfer the six guards of the Nanya, and the two armies of the Beiya, and go north to meet the enemy.

Seeing that Emperor Qinglong's energy was low and he coughed repeatedly during the discussion, all the people below were playing their own jokes.

The prince has been seriously injured and trapped in Jinyang City, and as the military situation shows, the situation in Jinyang City is at stake.

Even if the troops are deployed immediately, it will take half a month at the fastest from the preparation of food and grass to the deployment of the army.When the army arrived in Jinyang, even if they could wipe out all the Ba family's army, they would not be able to save the prince.

At the moment, these people had other thoughts.

Emperor Qinglong took Wu Guangqi's handkerchief on the ground and wiped the saliva caused by coughing.Covering it with a handkerchief, he stared at the pillars of the country in front of him with dark eyes.

In the face of national crisis, he wants to see what these people are thinking.

The military situation is urgent, and Zhu Zihou can no longer pretend to be confused.As prime minister, he must show attitude.

"Your Majesty, the Nan Ya and Bei Ya are defending the imperial city, and they are suddenly transferred away. I am afraid that the palace defense will be empty." He played: "It is better to call the government soldiers nearby and let them gather at the Gyeonggi camp."

His suggestion is quite satisfactory.He didn't want to add insult to injury, nor did he mean to worry about the prince.

The last time the government soldiers were transferred, they were already transferred nearby.This time the soldiers will only come from farther away, and the time will only slow down.But he is full of thoughts for the emperor, and he has a righteous name to suppress him, which seems to be very impartial and impartial.

Emperor Qinglong smiled inwardly, even if he passed the test today, this old fox.

"Yao Aiqing, you are the Secretary of the Ministry of War." Emperor Qinglong called out his name, "You tell me."

Yao Shangshu cupped his hands and said: "Lord Zhu's statement is reasonable, but it takes time for the army to assemble, and I'm afraid that the war in the North will not be able to wait so long. In addition, the soldiers and horses will go first before the food and grass are mobilized. How long will it take for the household department to mobilize the money and food?"

This is kicking the ball to Tobe.

"The last time we mobilized grain and grass, we had already used this year's newly harvested autumn grain. The Yellow River was flooded and the plague was rampant the year before last. The emperor was lenient and ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain and reduce taxes for two years."

"In the past two years, the imperial court has been supported by Jiangnan and salt taxes. Right now, the granaries in various places are only enough for use, and the granaries in Beijing are empty. If they move again, they will affect the fundamentals." Gong Yuanwei, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, reported.

Hearing that the court was so difficult, everyone immediately started talking.After a while, they split into two factions.

One faction was headed by Guan Jinghuan, supported by Gu Shangshu and others from the Ministry of Punishment.He advocated shrinking the line of defense, abandoning the imperial army led by the prince, and relying on Hangu Pass to defend the capital.

The other faction, headed by Liu Bocheng from the Ministry of Officials and supported by Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites, advocated first sending a team of elite soldiers to the north to help Jinyang.Later, slowly gather the army to recover the lost ground.

Zhu Zihou and Gong Shangshu remained neutral, only expressing their feelings but not teaming up.

The two factions held different opinions, and they quarreled red-faced after a short while.On the one hand, it is said that the solitary army goes deep, and it is a waste of troops.On the one hand, it is said that every inch of land must be fought, and the prince must be protected.

Emperor Qinglong looked at the two factions arguing, his face could not distinguish between happiness and anger.Served by Wu Guangqi, he sipped tea slowly.

The courtiers knew that the emperor was watching, and no one backed down. They all quoted the scriptures and argued hard, spitting in front of the throne.Listening to them alone, the righteousness is absolutely selfless.

"Okay!" Emperor Qinglong said: "Tomorrow, the Ministry of War will draw up an order."

He didn't make any decisions, but only asked Yao Shangshu to make a statement.Unable to figure out his intentions, everyone was confused for a while.

"Go back."

When everyone came out of the Xuanzheng Hall, they were all preoccupied, especially Yao Shangshu.He was ordered to draw up an order, but should he fight or defend?Emperor Qinglong's attitude was really incomprehensible.

Guan Jinghuan was a few steps behind, and when Yao Shangshu passed by, he said, "Master Yao, if you have time, you might as well go for a walk together."
