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

The next day.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The court will proceed as scheduled.

In the solemn and solemn hall.

Civil and military officials line up on both sides.

What is different from the past is that the prime minister standing at the forefront is now vacant.

As usual.

Hundreds of officials played the discussion.

The empress, sitting on the dragon chair, made the final decision.

Time passed minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, it was already an hour later.

The things that should be discussed are almost discussed.

The entire hall fell into a brief silence.

Seeing this, the palace lady was about to shout and retreat.

Before he could speak, he saw Sui Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of War who was standing in the front line, stand up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to play!"

Sui Yuan, who was wearing a crimson robe, stood upright and saluted respectfully, with an incomparably solemn tone.

Among the civil and military officials, some people seemed to realize something, subconsciously looked at Sui Yuan, frowning slightly.

Wu Mingkong on the dragon chair saw this scene, his exquisite face showed no expression, and said calmly: "Sure."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sui Yuan raised his eyes to look at the Empress, raised his voice, and said loudly: "I want to impeach General Bai Qi of Zhengbei University. At this critical moment, I will treat your Majesty and the court as nothing, go my own way, entangle with the Huben army, and refuse to return to help Fang Xiang, causing Wochuan Mansion is in a situation where there are enemies from both sides, there are more dangers than fortunes!"

The voice fell.

The entire Hall of Mental Cultivation fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately afterwards, an angry yell was heard.

"Sui Yuan, who told you that General Bai is determined to go his own way! Fang Xiang is more dangerous than good!"

An angry look appeared on Qian Haonan's face, Minister of the Ministry of War, his eyes widened, staring at Sui Yuan.

After saying a few words, I felt that I was too polite to him, so I simply cursed:
"You are like a dog! How dare you speak nonsense in front of His Majesty and the princes! Who gave you such courage!"

Qian Haonan said he was Sui Yuan's immediate boss, but he had no clear jurisdiction or control over him.

After all, for the emperor, it is not a good thing for the emperor to have all the powers in one body.

It is the best choice to give the servant a certain amount of authority, and let him and the minister mutually restrict and supervise each other.

therefore.

Facing the furious Qian Haonan, Sui Yuan didn't show the slightest panic, instead he looked calm and composed, and said leisurely: "As the chief officer of the military department, Mr. Qian has been on the battlefield and led the army. Could it be that the other party looks like you now? The situation you are in, without the slightest worry?"

Qian Haonan ignored him at all, and just scolded:

"For a dog-like thing, Prime Minister Fang has already made complete preparations before he went out to fight. The enemy in your mouth is just Fang Xiang who is trying to lure you into the urn.

Fortunately, you have served in the Ministry of War for seven years, and you don't even have this experience!After today, don't say you are an official of the Ministry of War, the old man can't afford to lose face! "

Rao was ready to be scolded, facing Qian Haonan's "dog-like thing", he was still a little overwhelmed, his face flushed red with anger.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed down and said slowly: "Qian Gong is a second-rank official, please pay attention to the etiquette before the king."

"Hetui!"

Qian Haonan took a step forward, spat at him, with a sarcasm on his face, and scolded angrily: "You are a dog, you deserve to talk about etiquette in front of this old man!"

"Don't think that the old man doesn't know what you think!"

"It's nothing more than thinking that Prime Minister Fang is out leading the army and can't punish you, so he dares to be so arrogant. In this court, Prime Minister Fang and General Bai will be arranged!"

"You can stand here to meet the princes of the Holy One, which one can't see your thoughts."

"Let's talk nonsense, make up random things, and use all kinds of means to sow discord. It's nothing more than trying to let His Majesty dispel his determination to fight against the Yan Kingdom to the end, and use the faction of seeking peace, so as to achieve your ridiculous goal of getting promoted and making a fortune!"

"When Fang Xiang was still in Chang'an, you hid behind Li Weidong, and you didn't even dare to fart!"

"As soon as Fang Xiang goes to war, you come out and jump up and down. Treat this one today and that one tomorrow, and invite that old Li Weidong to write some articles. Those who don't know really think you are a character!"

"Actually, in the eyes of His Majesty and the princes, you are not even a clown!"

"I don't know how many things like you I have seen in the past few decades! To you, I only have four words, sad! Ridiculous!"

Qian Haonan stretched out his hand and pointed at Sui Yuan, without pausing when he spoke.

Both voice and emotion, pointing fingers.

Although there are some angry emotions mixed with what he said, overall, it is still well-founded.

From the very beginning, he did not follow Sui Yuan's words and defend Bai Qi.

Instead, he directly denied Sui Yuan's claim that Bai Qi was determined to go his own way, and Fang Xiang was under the enemy's back.

Immediately afterwards, the output of a pass focused on the issue of his forming a party for personal gain.

Before Sui Yuan went to court, he considered various situations and thought of ways to deal with them.

The only thing he didn't expect was that Qian Haonan didn't play the cards according to the routine, and instead of making excuses, he accused him instead.

And
The words are vulgar!Hard to hear!
Not to mention the majestic Minister of the Ministry of War, even ordinary scholars may not be able to say such words!
"you!"

Sui Yuan's face became extremely ugly, and he pointed at Qian Haonan, wanting to fight back.

But after thinking about it, if he really wanted to do this, wouldn't he have fallen into his trap.

So, take a deep breath and calm your emotions.

Looking at the empress on the dragon chair, she said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty! What I said just now is true. Now the 30 army of Yan State has been divided into two groups, with 10 people on the one side, and they are besieging the Wochuan Mansion where Prime Minister Fang is located.

Another 20 people, all the way south, will arrive in Chang'an in a few days!

It stands to reason that Bai Qi is in command of the three most elite battalions of my cadres. As long as he is willing to give up the entanglement with the Huben army and rush south to help, he can solve the siege of Fangxiang, but he just stays put and sticks to Lingnan Road!

Isn't this ignoring His Majesty, Fang Xiang, the imperial court, and thousands of people!
Although Fang Xiang has 20 troops, they are all newly recruited soldiers, lack of firearms, and can't exert their combat power. Now they are besieged by 20 Yan troops, and their retreat is blocked by [-] Yan troops.

There is an isolated city, and there are not enough supplies, isn't it bad luck! "

The voice fell.

Several officials subconsciously raised their eyes to look at the empress, seeing that she was expressionless, with a look of hesitation on her face.

Obviously, there are countless ties between them and Sui Yuan.

At this moment, they are all thinking about whether they should stand up and support Sui Yuan at this time.

When Qian Haonan heard this, his expression became even more angry.

As Minister of the Ministry of War, he certainly knows the situation on the front line better than anyone else.

According to common sense, it is difficult for Fang Xiang's 20 people to stop Yan Jun's pace.

However, having been with Fang Xiang for so many years, he knew very well in his heart that Fang Xiang would not choose to go out in person if he hadn't been [-]% or even [-]% sure.

In addition, for the past six months, the southern states and governments have been recruiting craftsmen in the name of building cement official roads and sending them to various workshops.

Even he doesn't know where most of the workshops are located and what they produce.

It can be seen that although Fang Xiang does not show the mountains and dews, he has actually made sufficient preparations.

That bastard Sui Yuan, for his own benefit, makes a random analysis here. On the surface, it is reasonable and well-founded, but in fact it shakes the morale of the army and adds trouble to Fang Xiang!

Thinking of this.

He could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, so he was about to step forward and beat Sui Yuan up.

at this time.

Du Chen'an, the heavenly official at the side, stretched out his hand and grabbed him.

"?"

Qian Haonan subconsciously looked at Du Chen'an, frowned slightly, and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he heard Du Chen'an lower his voice, "Don't worry about him, His Majesty will deal with it."

When Qian Haonan heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and cast a look with a very clear meaning, do you know something?
Du Chen'an lowered his voice and said: "Yesterday late at night, Shangguan Haitang entered the palace, and when he came out, he led the shadow guards and asked the old man for a list."

Speaking of which, stop abruptly.

Qian Haonan was taken aback for a moment, then looked in a daze, and subconsciously looked at the Empress.

After thinking about it, he chose to remain silent.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Sui Shilang's words are not unreasonable. It is a well-known fact that Yan people are martial arts. If Bai Qi's three major battalions confront him, they will still have the strength to fight. It is only the newcomers who can follow Fang Xiang to fight. The recruited soldiers may not even know how to use swords, how can they stop the Yan army."

The Minister of Rites suddenly stood up, bowed and saluted, and said so.

As soon as this word comes out.

There was a murmur of whispering in the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, also stood up and said loudly: "The two servants are right. There is a saying that a clever woman can't cook without rice. Even if Fang Xiang strategizes well, his soldiers are vulnerable. .”

The voice fell.

Another two or three officials stood up.

Between the words, it is said that the Yan army is strong, and the court is powerless to resist.

The implication is to ask His Majesty to think about it early and negotiate a peace with Yan Guo.

But the vast majority.
To be precise, all the officials except these four or five people looked at them with cold eyes.

Even Qian Haonan, who was still filled with righteous indignation just now, calmed down at this moment, with a look of disdain on his face, as if he was too lazy to argue with a few dying people.

Seeing that no one refuted, Sui Yuan was complacent at first, but after looking around for a week, he realized that the atmosphere in the hall was completely different from what he had imagined.

Especially seeing the eyes of everyone, my heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Your Majesty, what I said just now is from the bottom of my heart. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Sui Yuan gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and bowed in salute.

The high Wu Mingkong looked down at Sui Yuan condescendingly, and said in a cold voice: "You know, what is the crime for confusing the army's morale?"

Sui Yuan obviously didn't expect that His Majesty would directly define what he said just now as confusing the army's morale.

His heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "What I said is the truth! If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send guards to Yongzhou to inquire!"

"I have never read military books, and I know that on the battlefield, the situation changes rapidly. Sometimes, a single sentence, and one person, may affect the entire battle situation!"

"Fang Xiang is in Wochuan, and he has no intention of retreating. You are in Chang'an, do you know the battle situation better than Fang Xiang?"

When Sui Yuan heard this, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

He knew that his efforts to seek peace during this period had completely failed.

Neither Li Weidong's article nor his statement could shake His Majesty's thoughts in the slightest.

There was a few breaths of silence.

He gritted his teeth, looked straight at the Empress, and said in a deep voice: "Although I am in Chang'an, I am the servant of the Ministry of War. I know more about the battlefield than Fang Xiang, who has never led an army before!"

"Actually, the minister is not the only one who has the same idea. There are also several Dukes, as well as Marquis Ding'an, Marquis Xin'an, and Marquis Dingbo who also think so."

Saying this, it almost means breaking the skin with His Majesty.

All the officials present also heard the strong threat in his words.

In other words, most of the martial arts support the minister!

Now Fang Xiang and his new army are not in Chang'an.

The city defense is still up to the princes!

If you insist on going your own way and lead the court to a dead end, the Duke and ministers will not agree!
Sui Yuan originally thought that if he said these words, the expressions of all the officials would change suddenly.

Unexpectedly, there were several second-rank officials standing in the front row.

Including Du Chen'an, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, Qin Xingyan, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Qian Haonan, Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhao Zizheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Hai Rui, the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Daji, the president of the Royal Bank.

They all looked calm and composed, their faces did not change at all, as if they did not understand the meaning of his words.

"What's the matter with these guys? It's fine if they're not afraid of the official, aren't they afraid of the swords of the dukes?"

Sui Yuan thought so, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Just now.

He heard the empress' cold voice coming from ahead.

"Which dukes are you talking about?"

now.

Sui Yuan still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

He thought for a while, and answered truthfully: "Duke Ding, Duke Wei, and Duke Chen all agree with the minister."

"It turned out to be a few of them"

Wu Mingkong looked at Sui Yuan with his cold eyes, his face still had no expression, he just replied calmly.

Seeing this, Sui Yuan was slightly dazed, looked around subconsciously, and found that the eyes of Fang Party members looking at him remained unchanged.

this moment.

He finally realized something, the strength in his whole body seemed to be drained, and he couldn't use his strength.

Just now.

The empress spoke again, with killing intent in her words.

"Preach my will, Duke Ding, Duke Wei, Duke Chen, Duke An, Marquis of Ding'an, Marquis of Xin'an, Marquis of Dingbo, Marquis of Beihe dare to disobey the natural order, do not know the grace of revealing, and are always rampant. Fill the treasury, exterminate the three clans, and execute immediately!"

The voice fell.

The entire Hall of Mental Cultivation fell into deathly silence.

All civil and military officials were silent.

All the officials, including Du Chen'an, Hai Rui, and Sui Yuan, all stared at the Empress with disbelief.

Asking the Duke of Guilt, this is what they expected.

Since Shangguan Haitang is going to be on the list, she will definitely try to control them.

With the strength of the first village, it is not difficult to do it.

What shocked them was that the crime the empress charged the dukes was treason!

The result of the interrogation shocked them even more.

Kill the three clans!

Such a severe punishment, even Du Chen'an, who got the news in advance, didn't expect it!
He stood there in a daze, unable to speak for a while, but sighed silently in his heart.

Your Majesty is cruel enough!
