I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 240 If Fang Xiang is not defeated, I will never succeed!
For the rest of the day.

Ban Hongfei and his subordinates are looking for the remaining common people of Qian Kingdom.

but.

They never expected that after searching hard for a day in Yongzhou, they could not find a dry person.

Even those cities are empty cities.

Walking on the street is like entering a ghost, and you can't even see the shadow of a living person.

"Damn it! The Prime Minister of the Qian Kingdom is so clean that the walls are cleared!"

Several lieutenants looked desperate and couldn't help cursing.

Ban Hongfei stood where he was, looking at them, the corner of his mouth twitching involuntarily.

He knew that Prime Minister Qianguo had transferred the people of Yongzhou to Zhangzhou in advance.

Unexpectedly, the efficiency of the transfer was so high that Yongzhou was vacated in just half a month.

From this point of view, Prime Minister Qian's arrangement of traps here is not a whim, but a long-planned plan!

Can't find a dry person to take the place of the dead ghost.

You can only choose one between breaking in and bypassing.

No matter which one you choose, it is difficult for Ban Hongfei to accept.

The key to going deep into the enemy's rear lies in the speed of your troops. The longer you delay, the more disadvantaged you will be.

If you force your way, it is tantamount to taking the lives of soldiers seriously.

Although the efficiency of traffic is high, it will cause low morale and is not conducive to combat.

Is it a hard break or a detour.

For a moment, Ban Hongfei fell into a tangle.

Just now.

There was an exclamation from the crowd.

"Look! What is that!"

Ban Hongfei and several lieutenants were slightly startled, and subconsciously looked up.

Immediately afterwards, they saw a scene that they would never forget.

In the blue sky, dozens of behemoths gathered together.

Like a thundercloud covering the sky and the sun, it swept over.

this moment.

Whether it's generals or soldiers, they all felt what it means, black clouds are overwhelming the city and want to destroy it!
Dayan iron cavalry is the absolute elite of Yan country, and also the most powerful army among all the countries, each of them has extremely strong psychological quality.

Even in the face of a terrifying scene that he had never seen before, he still remained calm, tried his best to control the horse under his crotch, and quietly waited for the general's order.

But the performance of the other [-] ordinary soldiers was much worse in comparison.

Seeing the approaching behemoth, their faces showed more or less panic, subconsciously wanting to escape.

But under the appeasement of the commanders, discipline can barely be maintained.

time flies.

The behemoth in the sky is getting closer and closer, showing its true colors.

"Kun?"

Looking at the clear handwriting on it, Ban Hongfei was slightly dazed, his mind went blank.

Just now.

The top of the head is gradually covered by these huge monsters with the word "Kun" printed on them.

Things like stones fell rapidly like a shower.

When it hit the ground, it made a loud noise.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
moment!

The army is in chaos!
now.

Chang'an City.

In a private room of a restaurant somewhere.

A white-haired old man sat in the first seat, raised his wine glass, and took a sip.

The strong wine is like a throat, but it is extremely smooth.

Rao is an old man who is extremely picky about wine, so he couldn't help but exclaim: "Good wine!"

On the side, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes saw this and said with a smile: "This is the latest liquor brewed by Zhenbaozhai. In the whole world, only Chang'an can drink it."

Hearing this, the old man looked at the wine glass in his hand and sighed: "The guys in Zhenbaozhai do have some skills. Not only did they create baijiu, but they can continue to improve it."

The middle-aged man said: "Zhenbao Zhai is indeed a good shop, but it's a pity that it will be closed soon."

What is inside and outside the words, the meaning is implied!
The old man frowned slightly, looked at the middle-aged man, and did not reply.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man was silent for a while, with a smile on his face, he said: "I still have three bottles of Wuliangjiu, if Li Gong likes it, I will send someone to Li Gong's house when I go back."

The middle-aged man in brocade was named Sui Yuan, and he was the Minister of the Military Department.

The old man was Li Weidong, Minister of Rites who had just returned home and had not had time to leave Chang'an.

As the backbone of the school of seeking peace, after Fang Xiu wrote "Teacher List".

Li Weidong knew that his official career had come to an end.

At this age, I don't have any ambitions, I just want to spend my old age safely.

His Majesty and Fang Xiang were merciful, allowing him to retire and return to his hometown, and did not accuse him of unnecessary crimes. He was already satisfied and did not want to get involved in the messy affairs of the court anymore.

If Sui Yuan's father hadn't been from the same town as him, and also a Jinshi in the same year, he would not have attended this farewell banquet no matter what.

At this moment, looking at Sui Yuan who had something to say in front of him.

The former minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had been up and down for decades, replied blankly: "At this age, I can't drink this kind of strong wine a few times. I'd better keep Sui Shilang's wine for myself."

Sui Yuan fell silent when he heard this.

After a while, he looked up at Li Weidong, and said leisurely: "Have you heard about what happened on the front line these few days?"

Li Weidong's old face showed displeasure, he frowned, waved his hands and said: "Before I went to the appointment, I said that I only drink and don't discuss business. I don't know about the frontline affairs, and I don't want to know."

The voice fell.

Sui Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of War, ignored it and continued:

"The main general of the Yan Army is named Ban Hongfei. This man is good at fighting, and his tactics are tricky. As soon as he enters Yongzhou, his troops will be divided into two groups."

"10 people along the way will besiege the Wochuan Mansion where Prime Minister Fang is located. Another 20 people, including [-] Dayan cavalry, will bypass the city of Yongzhou and go straight to Chang'an. Can come to the city!"

Li Weidong said coldly: "The old man is no longer a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and has no official position. Don't tell the old man about these things, the old man doesn't care."

Sui Yuan showed a smile on his face and said, "It's just chatting."

Li Weidong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Sui Yuan took the first step and continued:
"Besides, there is reliable news that Bai Qi is busy responding to the onslaught of the Huben army, and has no time to return to help!
The entire Yongzhou is already a pool of stagnant water. It won't be long before Wochuan Mansion will fall, and Yongzhou will also fall under the control of the Yan army.

In this way, Bai Qi will fall into a state of being attacked from both sides, and he will undoubtedly lose!

Of course, judging from Ban Hongfei's current movements, he is more likely to go all the way south and besiege Chang'an.

Although Chang'an has [-] defenders and sufficient food and grass, it can only barely protect itself against the majestic Yan army."

"enough!"

Li Weidong's old face showed anger, he slapped the table, stood up tremblingly, and said coldly: "Come here! Send this old man back home!"

Speaking of which.

He didn't understand what Sui Yuan meant.

It is nothing more than wanting him to come forward, gather the officials of the main peace faction again, speak to His Majesty, and seek peace with Yan Guo.

As an old friend of Sui Yuan's father.

Li Weidong knew Sui Yuan very well, knew that he had wolf ambitions, and was unwilling to be under others for a long time.

He has been sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War for seven years, but there is no hope of further advancement.

Just because Qian Haonan, the minister of the Ministry of War, is a core member of the Fang Party.

And when Fang Dang was not so powerful a few years ago, he criticized Fang Dang many times.

Although it is well-founded and fair, it will inevitably be hated by Fang Dang.

It is almost impossible to change the family and join the party.

but!

Today's court.

There are six ministers, four of whom are core members of the Fang Party.

The Zuodu Yushi Hai Rui of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Daji, the president of the Royal Bank, were even born in the Xiangguo Mansion.

In the entire court, the number of second-rank officials are all members of the Fang Party!

If Fang Dang does not fall, he will never have a bright future!

This time, the Yan army's invasion was a challenge for the imperial court, but it was an opportunity for him, a chance to overthrow Fangdang!

of course.

If Fang Xiu did not leave Chang'an, even if he was lent 1 courage, he would not dare to have the slightest dissent.

But now, Fang Xiu personally led the army and was besieged by the Yan army in Wochuan Mansion, and there was almost no possibility of breaking through.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you don't know when the next time will be.

Thinking of this.

His gaze became firmer, he took a step forward, stopped in front of Li Weidong, and said in a deep voice:

"Li Gong, to tell you the truth, according to my analysis, Fang Xiang's expedition this time is more ominous than good!"

"Yan Guoqiang, I am very weak, and if I want to appease Yan Guo's anger, the only way to go is to seek peace."

Li Weidong frowned when he saw that he would not let him leave, and said coldly: "In this case, why are you so impatient, when Fang Xiang is defeated, peace will naturally come naturally."

Hearing this, Sui Yuan simply stopped pretending and confessed his inner thoughts.

"I can't wait for that time, because I want to use this matter to bring down Fang Dang!"

Li Weidong glanced at Sui Yuan with his deep eyes, and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak after all.

Seeing this, Sui Yuan gritted his teeth and continued:
"If Prime Minister Fang is still there, it is impossible for Fang Party to agree to seek peace, but as time goes by, the only way the court can go is to seek peace.

As long as you come forward, Mr. Li, unite the officials who want to make peace, and wait until the court has nowhere to go and must adopt your suggestion, your status will rise, and it is not impossible to surpass Fang Xiang. "

Li Weidong sneered, and said: "Fang Dang can achieve today's achievements not because they made a certain decision right, let alone because they gained His Majesty's trust. Forgot to clean up?"

Sui Yuandao: "I know that Fang Dang has the current power, His Majesty's trust and indulgence, money from Zhenbaozhai and various shops, and loyal new soldiers are all indispensable."

"Li Gong only needs to come forward to support the peace, and I will handle the rest."

Li Weidong looked disdainful, and asked: "You have no money, no power, no power, what should you do?"

Sui Yuandao: "I have been serving as the Minister of the Military Department for seven years. During these seven years, I have made careful arrangements just for today's opportunity!"

After a pause, he continued:
"When Prime Minister Fang set up the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he imprisoned Wu Xun in the capital. I have already found out where these Wu Xun are detained. As long as they are released, a considerable part of Chang'an's [-] defenders will follow my orders. .

In addition, in a few days, I will use my little daughter to get married, hold a big banquet, give benefits to the officials who are suppressed and excluded by the party, and let them support me at critical moments.

In the end, Fang Xiang is now trapped in Wochuan Mansion, and there are many bad luck and bad luck. After Fang Xiang's death, His Majesty's original love house and Wuhui of the other party disappeared in smoke.

Eliminating the huge and powerful Fang Party will be the first thing His Majesty will do! "

When Li Weidong heard this, he didn't know what he thought of, and his heart sank.

Looking at Sui Yuan in front of him, he hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while, and then nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

When you're done, turn around and leave.

at this time.

But Sui Yuan stopped him, called the guards, and asked him to fetch pens, ink, paper and inkstones and put them on the table.

With a warm smile on his face, he said: "Since Li Gong has agreed, please write an article analyzing the situation, and I will send someone to publish it in the newspaper."

Li Weidong was slightly dazed, and replied: "I don't know anything about the situation on the battlefield, how can I make a fuss."

Sui Yuan smiled, and said: "It doesn't matter, how to write it, for me, Li Gong only needs to copy it."

When Li Weidong heard this, his heart sank again.

At this moment, he finally understood.

It is impossible for Sui Yuan to let him go if he does not drag him into the water today.

After sighing in his heart, out of desperation, he still picked up the pen and started to copy.

Two days later.

An article criticizing the Fang Party for disregarding the life and death of the people and its militarism was published in the Chang'an tabloid.

Chang'an Tabloid is a newspaper that few people pay attention to.

But after this article came out, it became inexplicably popular throughout Chang'an.

Even the little empress of the Hall of Mental Cultivation has heard the news.

"Regardless of the life and death of the people, I want to see who is so brave to attack me and Fang Xiang!"

The little empress looked gloomy, picked up the newspaper, and read it from top to bottom.

After reading.

Her brows were slightly frowned, and she asked in doubt: "Didn't I already allow Li Weidong to retire and return to his hometown, why is he going into this muddy water at this time, is he old and confused, or is he suffering from madness?"

On the side, Lin Wan'er heard this, hesitated for a moment, and reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, maybe there is someone behind this person."

Hear this.

The little empress looked stunned, and muttered to herself, "It makes sense."

Then, she fell into thought.

Who is so courageous to do these things at this time.

The members of the Fang Party need not say much.

They will not do things that destroy the Great Wall.

Then.

It can only be members of those non-party parties, and they are usually suppressed.

Think for a long time.

Wu Mingkong finally decided on a list.

Looking at the names on the list, a cold light burst out of her eyes, and she said coldly: "I want to see who dares to make trouble at this time!"

The voice fell.

The whole person burst out with a strong killing intent.

She looked at Lin Wan'er behind her, and ordered: "Go and find Shangguan Haitang, I have something to tell her."

Lin Wan'er was slightly taken aback, she obviously didn't expect His Majesty to think of looking for Shangguan Haitang.

After hesitating for a moment, he replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

When you're done, turn around and leave.

Only the little empress was left sitting on the dragon chair, with a chill in her eyes!
This time.

She wants to tell the civil and military officials with her actions that there are some taboos, and if you touch them, you will die!
