Red makeup against the world

Chapter 874 I can't tell you the pain

After seeing Emperor Qinglong, everyone quietly waited for orders.

With so many people in the same room, only breathing sounds of different depths can be heard.No one who doesn't have eyesight dares to make a noise at this place and at this time.

The emperor's summoning of them must be related to the war in the Northland, and the nobles knew it well.

In times of peace, they enjoy the honor that no one else has.At this time, it is their turn to contribute.

Whether it is the Dukes of the Four Kingdoms, or those Houfu and Bofu that are gradually declining without successors, they all have this understanding.

From a certain point of view, they are one with the Gaoman Dynasty.Because the Wei family aspired to become the world's top, they became new nobles.Therefore, their fate is tightly tied to the Wei family.

They understand better than anyone the reason why lips are dead and teeth are cold.

If Gao Mang is destroyed, who will support them?Rather than planning an uncertain future, it is better to enjoy the present.

From this point of view, regardless of their ability, they are more loyal than court officials.When the time comes to call on them, they won't back down.

No matter how unbearable Xungui is, he has the thought of fighting for his life.

Emperor Qinglong glanced at them, and said to Wu Guangqi, "Read."

Wu Guangqi's voice echoed in the hall as Wu Guangqi deployed eight hundred miles to expedite the military situation.The defeat of the Beidi army fabricated by Wu Zhengxiang is all the way.

The people below were secretly startled. Could it be that the situation has reached this point?
Thinking back to the beginning, when the prince led the army to go out, he was so confident.An army of [-] was assembled and set off, with elite soldiers and strong generals like a cloud, and government soldiers continued to join along the way.

Unexpectedly, the army was broken up by the Ba family, and how many groups were defeated in the Northland?

Since the crown prince is seriously injured and has no backbone, even having a good general is useless.The nobles are different from civil servants. Even if they have never led soldiers, they know more or less about military affairs.

In such a state of disunity, it is not easy to gather the army and defeat the Ba family army again!Not to mention winning, even self-protection is a problem.

Now that the army is scattered and the soldiers have turned into a fleeing army, wouldn't it be easier for the Ba family to defeat them one by one?

There is also the reason of the weather.The soldiers gathered in the capital were not used to the cold climate in the north.As each day got colder, the battle situation became more dangerous.

Everyone was thinking secretly, but Emperor Qinglong didn't speak, and everyone kept quiet.

"Your ancestors are all those who accompanied the late emperor to build a great country." Emperor Qinglong said slowly, first remembering the late emperor, and then said: "At this time when the country is in crisis, I want to hear your thoughts."

Everyone was silent for a while, who would dare to speak indiscriminately in front of Emperor Qinglong?

Yao Shangshu also couldn't figure out the way of Emperor Qinglong.Ordinarily, these nobles should be summoned for conscription.According to regulations, all the honorable mansions have raised private soldiers, and the gathering of this force should not be underestimated.

What's more, among them are the talents of generals, such as Duke Ding and Duke Zhong.

But when the emperor asked, no one could answer.

Duke Ding took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Duke Ding's mansion is at the mercy of the emperor. The final general is willing to attach the tail wings to kill the emperor for the emperor."

He has no claim, the only claim is to obey Emperor Qinglong's order and fight wherever he points.Moreover, Ding Guogong's cleverness is that he stated that he will no longer be in command, but only be a general who obeys orders and kills the enemy.

He handled the identity of this foreign relative just right.

With him at the beginning, the other three princes also stood up to express their views.The other nobles were not willing to be behind others, and stepped forward to show their loyalty.I can't wait to throw my head and sprinkle blood immediately to show my loyalty.

Emperor Qinglong smiled gratifiedly, and said: "Okay, okay! I have you, so why worry about rebellion against thieves!"

Inspired by him, everyone was even more enthusiastic and passionate.

Emperor Qinglong coughed a few times, pressed his hands empty, and everyone slowly quieted down.Although he is sick and weak, he still controls the audience.

"To meet the enemy, but how to meet the method, the six departments discussed yesterday, and gave me two ideas." He coughed a few more times, and Wu Guangqi hurriedly served herbal tea for him to drink.

After calming his breath, Emperor Qinglong said: "One, retreat to Hangu Pass. After the winter is over, gather troops and march northward."

He didn't explain anything, but who would not understand the meaning behind this strategy?This is at the price of giving up the crown prince. Whether the crown prince lives or dies depends entirely on his own ability.

"The other one is to quickly gather elite troops to go north, enter the north to disrupt the situation, and wait for the opportunity to support Jinyang. At the same time, Jingzhong raises food and troops, and then goes north."

After he finished speaking, the expressions of the people below were wonderful.

When there is no choice, everyone can show their loyalty, and fight wherever the emperor dictates.Who wouldn't want to be in their comfort zone when given the choice?

Duke Ding gritted his teeth tightly, and gave Yao Shangshu a cold look.He took over the gun from Old Duke Ding, and his military achievements were made with real swords and guns.

During the Tubo wars in the past two years, he led a large army to meet him, and his command was so brave that Tubo lost his helmet and armor.

How could a civil official like Yao Shangshu afford the power he had cultivated in the midst of thousands of troops?
Yao Shangshu was taken aback by him, he really didn't understand Emperor Qinglong's intention.In this palace, except for him, everyone is noble.Could it be, just to put yourself on the fire?
Emperor Qinglong said that the two strategies were drawn up by Liubu, Duke Ding didn't dare to say no to the emperor, so he naturally turned his hatred on Yao Shangshu.Who made him the head of the Ministry of War?
Looking at the stones he threw, causing ripples one after another, Emperor Qinglong's eyes were cold.In his eyes, these people have been classified.

After a while, he finally said: "There are two ways, there are gains and losses. Those who are willing to stand firm stand on the left, and those who agree to go north alone stand on the right."

This is not allowing the appearance of fools, forcing them to make a choice.As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at me, and I saw that you were in doubt.

For them, most people feel that it is safer to retreat to Hangu Pass.But at this time, it's not about which method is better, but what does the emperor think?

For the two diametrically opposite answers, only the chosen answer in the heart of the emperor is the correct answer.However, how could everyone have thought that the news of the defeat in the Northern Territory was false, and Emperor Qinglong actually had no answer in his mind?
In such a short period of time, it is almost impossible to figure out the holy will.Relying on, only weekdays understanding of the emperor.But the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, which is almost like gambling.

Just when everyone was hesitating, Emperor Qinglong paused, and he said again: "Except for Yao Shangshu." Since he didn't read Yao Shangshu's notes, he didn't intend to force him to stand in line immediately.

Yao Shangshu only felt that at this moment, his underwear was drenched with sweat.

All the nobles looked at him, why should they choose immediately, but the only civil servant present didn't have to choose?

Yao Shangshu couldn't tell because of his suffering, how did they know about his tangled pain last night?
