Chapter 1538 Makes His Life Uneasy

When Zhang Huan was in southern Xinjiang at the earliest, he showed some old fox breath, and his sense of responsibility was not strong. If he could not take responsibility, he would not take responsibility.

After the Southern Expedition, Zhang Huan triumphantly returned to Chang'an, and immediately became Minister of the Ministry of War.

Everyone thought this would be another starting point for him, but unexpectedly, Zhang Huan regarded this position as his end point.

I need to find the servant, the old man is busy!
This is Zhang Huan's daily life in the Ministry of War.

When it came to discussing matters in the court, Zhang Huan would never speak if he could not speak, so that some people made fun of him for practicing closed mantra.

Moreover, even if Li Bi named him to express his opinion, Zhang Huan would respond vaguely, like an old fool.

In such a situation, the two servants of the Ministry of War, especially Zheng Yuandong, who had the most senior qualifications, became acting ministers.

After the news of the loss of Yangling Pass, Li Mi ordered the Ministry of War to take the lead in strengthening the defense of Tongcheng.

Zhang Huan said that he was sick... Tongcheng was a bit damp, and his rheumatism had attacked, which made him unable to walk.

Therefore, Zheng Yuandong was forced to take over the matter.

It is said that it is the defense of Tongcheng City, but in fact, the defense of the entire Yizhou has to be controlled.Because of this, Zheng Yuandong was very busy.

On this day, just as he returned to Tongcheng after a long journey, Zhao Sanfu's people came to look for him.

"What did you say?" The weather was strangely dry, and there were two small blisters at the corners of Zheng Yuandong's mouth.

"It's urgent."

"understood."

Zheng Yuandong quietly went to the agreed restaurant later in the day.

Zhao Sanfu was kneading the dough inside, ready to make Hubing.

"Your kneading posture is a bit fake." Zheng Yuandong picked up a mustache, opened it and took a look. The mutton inside was scary, and he sighed: "If everyone makes mustard like you, it will be a loss." die."

"It can be sold more expensive." Zhao Sanfu put the dough under the big bowl, and walked over while rubbing his hands.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Yuandong ate the mustache.

"I heard a few veterans mention the battle of Fangzhou that day. They said that they can hold on for half a month at most, but is that so?"

Zheng Yuandong nodded, "It's hard to say if the defenders are fierce soldiers. But you also know that Shu has not fought for many years. Where did those soldiers come from? Half a month at most."

"In this way, the day when the Chang'an army will approach the city is not far away, but we have only recruited three generals, but none of them are in charge. How will we respond then?"

Zhao Sanfu kneaded the small dough in his hand, "Old Zheng, if you want to make meritorious service, you have to find a way!"

"The name of the Jingtai can stop children from crying at night. Those generals are afraid that it will be a temptation, so how dare they accept it?"

"I did it myself? But you also know that if I don't act more viciously, those bastards in Tianmaying will surround and kill me in no time!"

Zhao Sanfu had a headache.

Zheng Yuandong chewed the mutton and felt a bit old, "Don't over roast it next time."

"I didn't bake it."

"Who is that?"

"Brother below."

"good!"

Zheng Yuandong put down half of the mustache in his hand, and said: "The old man is in charge of inspecting the city defense now. This is an opportunity. You have assembled your manpower. Once the time comes, just listen to the old man's arrangements."

"The people on my side have to watch the false emperor." Zhao Sanfu lowered his voice, "If the false emperor escapes, the emperor will be unhappy."

"Where can he go?" Zheng Yuandong clapped his hands, "The land of Shu is a land, and he can't run with so many people. But if he is easy to drive, he is delicate and expensive, and he will definitely worry about going wrong on the road. So, rest assured .”

"Half a month!" Zhao Sanfu said: "In another half a month, we will have to call someone else His Majesty. Old Zheng, our ambition to assist the king cannot be realized in this life."

"You don't have to worry about your future if you have friendship with the emperor." Zheng Yuandong broke off a piece of burnt mustache and ate it. The smell of mutton and the smell of pastry was unexpectedly delicious.

"What about you?" Zhao Sanfu asked.

"Old man..." Zheng Yuandong swallowed his food, "Old man Chaotang doesn't want to go in, it's better to go outside."

"north?"

"The south is also successful!"

"What are you doing there?"

"kill!"

"How long have you been holding back?"

"For the past six months, this old man has always felt that he has a lot of hostility. Drinking tea, reading books, and drinking alcohol are all useless. After thinking about it, I am eager to kill someone."

"How much resentment you have!" Zhao Sanfu laughed.

"I've been thinking about it for half my life. After the identity of the one in Beijiang was revealed, everything came to naught." Zheng Yuandong got up, "You keep an eye on those people here, and the rest, old man."

"Half a month, there are still seven or eight days left." Zhao Sanfu said, "Hurry up."

Zheng Yuandong returned to the Ministry of War, while Zhang Huan was still recovering from his illness, and it was rumored that the rheumatism was getting worse.

But the past few days have been dry and disturbing.

Zheng Yuandong knew that Zhang Huan was not optimistic about the situation in Shu, so he withdrew.In this way, even if the emperor breaks through Tongcheng, he will not do anything to him in view of the experience that the two had fought side by side.

They are all good at protecting themselves!

Just as Zheng Yuandong picked up a document, Zhang Huan rushed in.

He looked serious, as if he had encountered something serious.

"Is there something important?" Zhang Huan asked.

"No." Zheng Yuandong said.

"That's good." Zhang Huan sat down, "Everyone cheer up."

Are you out of your mind?

Everyone felt something was wrong.

Then, there was a loud noise from outside.

The sound is getting louder.

"Fangzhou has fallen."

There was a gleam in Zheng Yuandong's eyes, and he glanced at Zhang Huan.

Fangzhou has fallen, and the end of the false emperor is not far away.What do people do when they are in despair?
Find a scapegoat.

No wonder Zhang Huan returned to the director of the Ministry of War in a serious manner. It turned out that he got the news early.

Zheng Yuandong looked at those officials with a dumbfounded expression.

As if, the sky fell.

Not long after, a servant ran over, "Your Majesty summoned me."

Zhang Huan stood up holding the table, "Old Zheng, help me."

Zheng Yuandong went over to help him, and the two slowly left the military department.

They saw Yang Songcheng and Zheng Qi...

Everyone's expression is numb.

It made Zheng Yuandong think of those death row prisoners before execution.

When he saw Li Mi, he looked quite calm, even with a mysterious smile.

"Fangzhou has fallen." Li Mi said: "Yang Ni is about to march to Yizhou, the Ministry of War will talk about it."

Zhang Huan coughed dryly, and Zheng Yuandong went out of duty without hesitation, "Your Majesty, I have just inspected various places, and the morale of the soldiers is high. It will be better if we encourage them again."

— Give money!
Li Mi nodded, "As a reward."

When Zheng Yuandong returned to work, Li Mi said: "Follow-up, Zheng Qing will take a look at the city defense."

"Yes!"

Look at the city defense more, but didn't say overall defense, that is to say, Zheng Yuandong is a supervisor.

Li Mi said: "Yang Ni is the most vicious person. After the Southern Zhou Dynasty was breached, this person let out that anyone who opposed the new policy would not be hired. It is ridiculous. Wait, what do you think?"

——Don't think that you can gain glory and wealth by relying on Yang Ni. You are all traitors in his eyes and will never be hired.So, go for it!At least don't make trouble.

"Yizhou's defense line is still unbreakable!" After Li Mi finished speaking, the hall was completely silent.

"The head of the country." Li Bi called his name, "If you have nothing to do, go to the top of the city to have a look."

"Yes." Yang Songcheng agreed.

"Zhu Qing, it's okay, let's go to the city to have a look!" Li Mi smiled.

"Yes!"

This is kidnapping.

On the top of the city, there was no eyesight in the fight, and he deserved to be killed.So, in order to save your life, you have to think of ways.

This method, without making a fuss, brought the officials into a situation where they would live and die with Tongcheng.

The means are great, but some are not like masters.

"Go away!"

Li Bi got up.

After Zheng Yuandong left the palace, he went to the top of the city.

The sky is gloomy, with dark clouds, deep or shallow, like fog, layer upon layer.

"Zheng Shangshu, is it possible to defend?" A general asked.

The generals are not confident, how can ordinary sergeants have confidence?

Zheng Yuandong nodded, "Your Majesty is blessed by God."

"Yes! God bless!" The general breathed a sigh of relief, "The gods in Shu are quite effective, and they may be able to help us later."

"Exactly." Zheng Yuandong walked down from the top of the city and a few villains were driven in from the city gate by the soldiers.

A wicked young man said dissatisfiedly: "Chop your brain! Be careful when lightning strikes you."

Boom!

Thunder came faintly.

At the top of the city, a soldier muttered, "The gods of Shu only protect those who bring peace to Shu."

……

"My lord, Fangzhou is broken."

Zhao Dongping brought this bad news, but Yue Wang calmly closed the scroll in his hand, "Then, the time has come."

"Your Majesty, you must be cautious about this matter!" Zhao Dongping said, "If the city is destroyed, His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor will be doomed because of old grievances. But Your Majesty will not."

After all, Li Mi and his son also left behind two sons who honored the emperor.

In the same way, Li Xuan should do the same.

If you don't move, you won't die.

"You think, let a prince who has been infinitely close to the East Palace live in Chang'an, and he can't leave the house after that, okay?" King Yue asked with a smile.

"Alive after all."

"But this king would rather die!"

King Yue laughed and said: "For so many years, this king has been pretending to be weak, and he is still weak even after his big teeth are knocked out. But who the hell is willing to pretend to be a grandson? If it is possible, this king wants to raise an army to kill those bastards. From top to bottom, there is not one left!"

He didn't say who those bastards were, but Zhao Dongping knew that from Li Mi to Yang Songcheng, they couldn't escape.

"You, do you decide to do it?" Zhao Dongping sighed, knowing that he could not stop King Yue.

"Yes! And, the sooner the better." King Yue's eyes became brighter, "Do you know? Li Xuan must capture A Weng and Aye alive, otherwise it will be unfilial."

This Zhao Dongping didn't know.

"You didn't take the place, so naturally you can't appreciate this kind of friendship. Ye Niang was poisoned and killed, so he never experienced Ye Niang's love in his life. This kind of hatred is irreconcilable. If A Weng and A Ye die, he will regret it all his life .”

"You want to..." Zhao Dongping felt a little creepy.

"That's right." King Yue grinned, his dentures dangling.

"This king will kill one and imprison one. Li Xuan can only make peace with this king, otherwise, this king will make his life difficult!"
