Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 220
In the Hall of Ceremonies, the aged Emperor Yuan Zong not only kicked over the dragon case, but also kicked down two courtiers who were admonishing him.

Just because these two courtiers wanted to punish Tang Ying, the leader of the Xuanwei army.

Punishing Tang Ying is a trivial matter, and only a word from Emperor Yuanzong is needed.

But when Pingliang Fort fell, the court had mentioned this matter.

It was Emperor Yuanzong who insisted on favoring Tang Ying, or the eldest prince, and did not replace Tang Ying, which resulted in today's situation.

If they were to be replaced now, it would require Emperor Yuan Zong to admit that he was not as good as Zhao Yanjiao.

How can he recognize it!
That was the reliance that he hated to the bone, but dared not say it out loud.

Emperor Yuanzong only felt that his chest was constricted like a knife was twisted, and he gasped for breath.

The personal eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down and stroked his chest: "Your Majesty, the emperor's dragon body is important!"

Emperor Yuanzong's head was buzzing, he had a dark face, panting, and asked Xu Zheyuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War in a cold voice: "Didn't you say that the Zhenbei Army had already led the Dilu cavalry out of Qing'an Mansion? Then why were they rushed again?" Going into the city? Why? Tell me!"

Since Pingliang Fort fell into the hands of the Dilu people a few years ago, the military newspapers there have not been interrupted. At the beginning, Tang Ying also reported frequent successes, such as the successful suppression of bandits, and how many Dilu people were captured.

From time to time, he never forgot to apply eye drops to Zhao Yanjiao, saying that the Zhenbei Army was passive and sabotage.

But when the time came to May, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and the Dilu cavalry entered the country. The Xuanwei Army, which was confronting them head-on, collapsed at the first touch, and the defense line that had already gathered under Pingliang Fort was completely abolished.

In just half a month, the Dilu cavalry swept up the surrounding villages, towns and counties hundreds of miles away, and even opened the gate of Qing'an Mansion, directly threatening the Qinzhou Mansion and the capital in the rear.

The urgent military newspapers at the border are sent to the imperial city one by one every day. This is different from the tragedy of looting people back then.

In the years since Zhao Yanjiao led troops to garrison Xiashi Pass, except for the first few years when Di Lu repeatedly invaded, there were only petty crossings later.

Even after the Suijin tragedy, the Zhenbei Army chased those tribes on the grasslands, and no Dilu people had ever entered the territory of the Wu Dynasty on a large scale.

Emperor Yuanzong was so anxious that he reprimanded the imperial edict every day, and severely reprimanded the Zhenbei Army for its dereliction of duty.

But... His words were useless once he left the capital.

For the Zhenbei Army, it was "disobedience to the orders of the generals outside the country" and refused.

Tang Ying was obedient, but it was small soldiers who went to battle to kill and kill. If the emperor's imperial edict came to the front line, it would be worse than bullshit.

No matter how nicely it is said, when facing the Kuaima Scimitar, the little soldiers only hated their parents for losing two legs.

Life is gone, who wants to add an official to a noble, and make his wife and son an empty talk.

Seeing that Emperor Yuanzong was not in good condition, Crown Prince Li Xigong came out and said, "Outside there is General Tang leading the troops to drive away Di, inside there is the Ministry of War planning, and there is Xu Shangshu in the court. Father, it is important to take care of the dragon's body!"

On the other side, the eldest prince and the third prince also came out to persuade the emperor to appease his anger.

The prince was seventeen years old, and he looked just like his queen mother, with an ordinary appearance.

Every time he goes to court, he is cautious and doesn't speak much. It is rare to speak a few times today, and what he says is justified.

Hearing his voice, Emperor Yuanzong finally found a place to vent his anger, and smashed the memorial in his hand: "Why don't I get annoyed? It's not because of your good uncle, who holds the Zhenbei Army in his hand but has no achievements. He let the Dilu cavalry Enter the Wu Dynasty and destroy my great rivers and mountains."

"If you can't take back the Qing'an Mansion as soon as possible, your Zhao family will be punished!"

This made the ministers of the DPRK and China look at each other in blank dismay.

Pingliang Fort was lost in the hands of Tang Ying, and Qing'an Mansion was stationed by generals appointed by Emperor Yuanzong.

Everyone knew that even Yu Qiujing, the magistrate, was from the family of the third prince's mother, how could it be blamed on the Zhenbei army, and it was even more nonsense to keep calling the prince Li Xi a Zhao family in the court.

Such unreasonable favoritism, is it an excuse to abolish the prince under the pretext of the defeat of the Northern Army?
Or is the emperor too confused to speak?

But everyone can only think about this kind of words in their stomachs, and dare not reveal half of it.

Seeing the emperor's fury, Li Xi knelt on the ground with a plop: "Father, my son and minister have been wronged!"

The rest of the princes also knelt down: "Father, take care of the dragon's body!"

In such a large conference hall, a needle can be heard instantly.

Emperor Yuanzong pointed at the crown prince and scolded: "Did your empress say that I blamed you indiscriminately again? Do you want you to go up to the court to contradict me?"

Li Xi buried his head deeply on the ground, his voice choked with sobs: "Royal father, the queen mother only said that you don't eat or drink for half a month, you only rely on ginseng soup to feed you, and you can't sleep at night... The imperial physician also said that overwork is harmful to the dragon. Let my son comfort me more..."

Emperor Yuanzong became more and more furious: "She lives in Zhaohuatang, how did she know about my daily life? Could it be that Zhao Yanjiao put a spy in the harem to murder me."

His words became more and more unreasonable.

The courtiers who knelt on the ground were terrified when they heard this.

The queen does not live in her own bedroom, but lives in Zhaohua Hall, which is equivalent to being thrown into limbo.

Also, the emperor can't eat or drink for half a month, and can't sleep at night, this is a big deal.

Emperor Yuanzong was over fifty and had been on the throne for 19 years. He was an unfavorable prince in the early years. He was frightened and frightened and suffered all kinds of hardships.

Everyone said long live to the emperor, who can really live to a hundred, seventy is rare since ancient times, and few people who become emperors even live to their sixtieth year.

Now that Emperor Yuanzong's physical condition was revealed by the prince, these courtiers had to think about it.

After Emperor Yuanzong finished cursing, he slumped down on the dragon chair, panting heavily, and pointed at Li Xi with trembling fingers: "Come here, drive me out of that evil obstacle, ground your feet, and you are not allowed to participate in the court meeting again."

The eldest prince knelt down and begged for mercy: "Father, the empress must be concerned about you, so people pay attention everywhere."

The third prince also said: "Father, please calm down. No matter how close the crown prince is to Zhenbeihou, he is also of Li's blood. He will definitely urge Zhenbeihou to take over the lost land as soon as possible, and return the Wu Dynasty to a peaceful country."

Prince Li Xi has been silent since he said those words, and only tightly clutched the memorial that his father smashed by him.

He knew that it was sent by his uncle Zhenbeihou.

It said that the Qing'an mansion had been taken back, but Tang Ying was eager to grab the merits and abandoned the city's defenses. She led a large group of troops and directly attacked the Dilu cavalry, but was cut off by Dilu's broken cavalry and returned to the city while the city was empty.

This is the failure of Tang Ying's command, and what does it have to do with his uncle Zhenbeihou.

Rabbits are dead and dogs are cooking, birds are all bowed and hidden.Taiping was originally decided by the general, and the general was not allowed to see Taiping.

The father fears and hates his uncle, if there is no uncle who holds a heavy soldier, he and his mother would have died long ago.

The emperor's father hated his uncle deeply, and now he and his mother belonged to the Zhao family.

Originally, everyone was thinking that they would be able to ascend the throne after their father returned to the West, but the brothers couldn't bear it any longer.

From this point of view, don't blame Erchen for being unfeeling and judgmental.

"Father!" Li Xi threw himself on the ground and wailed loudly: "Father, Yunzhou is now full of rotting corpses, and the people are in dire straits. These are the disadvantages of Tang Yingxuanwei's army. I am willing to go out for my father, lead the Zhenbei Army, and expel Di Captive, give me back my rivers and mountains!"
