This time, the flood they had been talking about for a long time really appeared before their eyes.

The coverage ability of the flood was amazing. It didn't take long to see the flood swallowing up the river bank, carrying flowers, plants and trees and rushing up to the river bank.

Ah Cha looked very helpless, but also a little lucky at the same time.

Fortunately, she ordered all the people on the shore to retreat to higher ground in advance, otherwise the flood would have swallowed up all those people long ago.

But she also realized for the first time how insignificant human beings are in the face of the absolute power of nature.

Man-made forces are destined to be unable to withstand the attack power of floods.

"Come on, let's go check out the condition of those lifeboats."

The city tower was at a high place, so the flood would not spread to them for a while, and they would still have a chance to see the people again.

Meanwhile, in the palace, the emperor still knew nothing about it.

"That's unreasonable! This right prime minister doesn't take me seriously at all!"

As the emperor spoke, he smashed another tea cup angrily.

"boom--"

The crisp sound of broken ceramics echoed in the hall.

The corner of Jin Lan's mouth twitched, but she did not step forward to dissuade him.

It's not what she said. The dog emperor has such a bad temper that he can get angry eight times a day over matters related to the right minister.

It was said that an emperor would die thousands of miles away in anger, but she only saw cowardice in the dog emperor.

For some reason, the Dog Emperor's anger was basically limited to words, and there were almost no actions on the surface.

She also tried to use the fire several times, but the Dog Emperor was indifferent.

It seems that the Dog Emperor is rare and protective of his lackey.

"Lan'er, how do you think I should deal with a scum like the Right Prime Minister?"

Look, the Dog Emperor couldn't relieve his emotions, so he took it upon himself.

However, her acting career was not over yet, so she could only continue to respond: "I don't know, either."

"But the Right Prime Minister is unwilling to return to Beijing. He must have unspeakable difficulties."

The emperor's expression became a little gloomy. Jin Lan knew there was something going on and continued to defend the right minister.

"Your Majesty, don't blame the Right Prime Minister. He led an army of 100,000 to encircle and suppress the rebels. Naturally, there will be many difficulties. Maybe it is difficult to report to Your Majesty, so he temporarily chose to resist the decree."

Every time Jin Lan said another word, the Dog Emperor's breathing became heavier and his face became more gloomy.

Yes, he had forgotten that the Right Prime Minister led an army of 100,000 people and dared to disobey the order.

While he was still lost in thought, Zhang Ming hurriedly came to report with a letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the goddess."

A letter from the goddess?

The emperor had received several letters from Ah Cha in the past few days, but the contents of the letters were too vague, and there were still many doubts in his mind that had not yet been solved.

Now that he suddenly heard that another letter had arrived, he was extremely happy, and the unhappiness in his heart was swept away.

"Hurry up and show me the letter sent by the goddess!"

Zhang Ming quietly exchanged glances with Jin Lan and handed the letter over honestly.

His duty as the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army was not to deliver a message to the emperor. Today, he just saw it on the way and knew that the matter was urgent, so he specifically stopped him.

If he didn't hand over some things to the Dog Emperor in person, they might be stopped by someone who was interested, and then the gain would outweigh the loss.

The emperor read this letter for a long time, and his face became darker and darker as he read it.

"What a right prime minister! How dare you deceive me!"

Ok?

Jinlan was interested and raised her eyebrows secretly.

Ah Cha must have told the emperor the last bit of truth before the flood came.

Sure enough, before she could continue to think about it, there was a big reaction from the Dog Emperor.

"Okay! Okay! Okay--"

"I think his right-hand man is really at an end!"

"Here comes someone! According to my decree, the Right Prime Minister must rush back to the capital within twelve hours, otherwise I will kill all nine of his tribes!"

Twelve hours.

That's only one day.

If the imperial edict reaches the right minister's ears in a hurry, he can barely catch up if he sets out immediately and travels day and night.

But there is a downside to this.

If there is any problem in any of the links in the middle, the nine clans of the Right Prime Minister will be completely unsafe.

Jin Lan and Zhang Ming exchanged glances, hid the smile in their eyes, put on a serious face, and knelt down in front of the Dog Emperor.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"After all, the right prime minister still has an army of 100,000 in his hands. If he hears this news, he might become angry and do something else!"

Zhang Ming also followed her and knelt on the ground, admonishing: "Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely impossible! The Right Prime Minister's faction is very powerful. If he rashly kills the nine tribes, it will cause a lot of turmoil for us in Daxing!" "

"Then tell me, if I don't punish the nine clans, how can I deal with such rebellious officials and traitors?"

With that said, the emperor threw the letter from Ah Cha in front of Jin Lan.

Jin Lan picked up the letter and read it carefully.

Not to mention, Ah Cha has a way to deal with the Dog Emperor.

The letter mentioned in a very subtle way that he had used means to control King Ding'an and his subordinates.

However, because the right prime minister was unkind and unjust in the army, depriving the soldiers of their food and grass, which caused the morale of the army to fluctuate. In order to avoid bigger problems, she specially guided these soldiers into the city.

Of course, Acha also specifically mentioned that she was taking advantage of the highest power given to her by the emperor to mobilize military, political, and financial resources.

So after reading this letter, the emperor directed his anger at the right minister.

And Jinlan also guessed the effect Acha wanted.

"Your Majesty, what the Right Prime Minister did is a little ridiculous, but his heart is also to launch a great campaign for us to encircle and suppress the rebels. He may be afraid that you will punish him, so he deceived him."

"The Right Prime Minister still has an army of less than 10,000 people. If you kill him from the nine tribes, there is no guarantee that he will do something impulsive."

"I think what the imperial concubine said is very reasonable."

Jin Lan persuaded him sincerely, and with Zhang Ming beside him responsible for complimenting him, the Dog Emperor's mood became slightly calmer.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Come on, the Dog Emperor finally got to the point.

Jin Lan pursed her lips in embarrassment and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I do have an idea, but..."

"It's just what?" The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Lan'er, just say it, I won't blame you."

This is what the Dog Emperor himself said.

Then you can't blame her for talking nonsense.

A hint of cunning flashed across Jinlan's eyes quickly, and she continued what she just said.

"It's just that my concubine's idea may be a bit bold. I need to issue an urgent order to summon the Prime Minister back to the capital, and then send people to ambush outside the capital..."

At this point, Jin Lan deliberately stopped again.

"So you want me to send people to arrest the right minister on the spot?"

Unexpectedly, Jin Lan shook his head seriously, "No, I want to escort the right minister back to the capital safely and see His Majesty."

The emperor was not happy when he heard this, "What else do I see these rebellious officials and traitors doing?"

If possible, he would really like to find an opportunity to kill treacherous ministers and traitors like the Right Prime Minister on the spot.

But Jinlan's next words made his eyes light up.

"By doing this, Your Majesty can temporarily stabilize the Right Prime Minister's followers, and then bring him into the palace to reward him. At the same time, he can secretly send people to capture the Right Prime Minister's followers first."

Her goal was very clear.

Let the Right Prime Minister let the heavy rain go free for a while, so that he and his lackeys can feel a little relaxed. Finally, in the name of a reward, they will simply kill all the Right Prime Minister's henchmen.

Of course, she was not so kind and just wanted to give advice to the Dog Emperor.

So after seeing clearly the thoughtful look on the Dog Emperor's face, it was time for her to add: "It's just that there are many partisans of the Right Prime Minister in the court. Your Majesty still has to be careful when selecting and detaining partisans."

Her hint was already obvious.

After listening to her words, the emperor focused his attention directly on Zhang Ming.

The Forbidden Army is a manpower that he can mobilize at will. If he wants to select people, he can only find suitable ones from the Forbidden Army.

The commander of the Forbidden Army, Uncle Jiang, has always been very close to the Right Prime Minister. Even Uncle Jiang's reinstatement was because of the Right Prime Minister's intercession.

Then the only thing he could choose was Zhang Ming in front of him.

Although Zhang Ming was also the prince's staff in the past, he had served as his personal bodyguard and had performed meritorious service. He was devoted to himself and would never have anything to do with the right minister.

Thinking of this, a strong sense of trust arose in the emperor's heart.

"Zhang Ming! I want to give you a task!"

Zhang Ming's body lying on the ground trembled slightly, and he raised his voice, "I'm here!"

"I want you to carry everyone on your back and secretly dispatch a part of the imperial army to ambush the Right Prime Minister outside the city when he returns to the capital, and escort him back to the capital safely."

"Then detain all the right prime minister's henchmen."

"You could possibly do it?"

Zhang Ming hesitated deliberately, and after a while he said: "I can... can do it..."

With such a weak look, the emperor felt unhappy after just one look.

"I asked you if you could do it?!"

"I can do it!" Zhang Ming answered very simply this time, but then he became hesitant again, "It's just...I don't know who are the right prime minister's partisans, nor do I know how many people should be deployed. .”

Some issues should be left to the superior to think about, and he should only be responsible for execution.

When the time comes, even if someone is interested and asks, he can give a high-level summary of His Majesty's will.

But his question really reminded the emperor.

Speaking of which, he has been the emperor for so many years and has always favored the right prime minister, but he has never investigated the specific power of the right prime minister.

Jin Lan saw the opportunity and came to his side again to suggest something actively.

"Your Majesty, I think the question of the deputy commander of the imperial army is reasonable."

"If our manpower doesn't even know the specific power of the right prime minister, and accidentally slips through the net during action, it will be detrimental to our action." The emperor listened, "So what you mean is that I have to first Carefully investigate the forces of the Right Prime Minister?"

Jinlan nodded, "That's exactly what I mean."

Now the eldest princess of the DPRK has roped in most of the people, and the remaining part is the stubborn party members of the right prime minister.

As long as they can take advantage of this opportunity to convince the Dog Emperor to thoroughly investigate the power of the Right Prime Minister, and then use the emperor's hand to remove the Right Prime Minister, then their layout in the court will be basically completed.

However, Jin Lan also knows very well that although these things are very clear in words, it may be quite difficult to actually do them.

No matter how you say it, the right prime minister has been running the government for many years. His party members not only include some people with low official positions, but also include some of the former princelings.

If you want to clear it out in a short time, I'm afraid you will encounter a lot of resistance.

At that time, it will inevitably lead to great civil strife.

But now Acha is still fighting floods in the fiefdom. If the civil strife starts too early, it will be detrimental to Acha's plan.

Thinking of this, her expression became a bit grim.

"Your Majesty, I don't know whether I should say something or not."

Now he has great faith in Jinlan.

It was rare to have a wonderful person by his side who could give advice and be considerate, so naturally he wouldn't say anything about her.

So the emperor simply waved his hand, "Lan'er, just say it."

Haha, this trick is really useful against the Dog Emperor.

After Jinlan secretly snickered in her heart for a while, she said: "Your Majesty, although I don't know how many followers the right prime minister has, I understand one truth: if you cut the grass without eradicating the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows."

After listening to her words, the emperor's expression suddenly darkened, and he murmured in his mouth, "If you cut the weeds without removing the roots, will they grow again with the spring breeze?"

Yes, if I can't kill all the right prime minister's gang members this time and allow the right prime minister's power to grow, then what authority will I have as an emperor in the future?

If the Right Prime Minister's gangsters continue, then his role as emperor will be over.

It's time for him to make a decision.

"It was because I was too fond of the right prime minister and trusted him so easily that it caused such a disaster."

"When I find out the power of the right prime minister, I will take him back to Beijing. Then I will never let them go!"

"I have decided not to take the Right Prime Minister back to Beijing, but to go directly to find out the power of the Right Prime Minister!"

Oh, the Dog Emperor's order is finally on point.

Jin Lan breathed a sigh of relief for Ah Cha's follow-up plan, and put on an admiring look, bending slightly, "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

Seeing her like this, Zhang Ming's eyes flashed with anger, but he still saluted.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The emperor's mood improved after being complimented in this way. He waved his hand and said, "Vice Commander Zhang, please go down first. I will give you some rewards later."

The emperor suddenly wants to reward himself?

Zhang Ming was a little surprised and quickly exchanged glances with Jin Lan.

"Thank you for your gift, Your Majesty!"

After speaking, he quickly retreated.

"Your Majesty, I am very curious." Jin Lan climbed up to the Dog Emperor's neck enchantingly and asked softly: "I wonder what reward you plan to give to Vice Commander Zhang to fulfill his loyal heart?"

A deep smile appeared on the emperor's lips, and a pair of big hands moved randomly on her body, "Lan'er has always been very smart, why not take a guess?"

Dog Emperor, you still have to guess for yourself at this time!

God knows how much Jinlan cursed the Dog Emperor in her heart, but she still had to put on that curious and coquettish face.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know this~"

"Why don't you just tell me directly~"

But the dog emperor still closed his eyes in enjoyment and listened to her coquettish voice without moving.

If possible, Jin Lan really wanted to expose his hypocrisy right now.

Pooh!

If she hadn't wanted to get some information first so that she could tell Zhang Ming as soon as possible so that she could make some countermeasures earlier, why would she be compromising here?

I don’t know how long she had been acting coquettishly like this before the Dog Emperor finally enjoyed it enough and opened his eyes.

"Commander Jiang is a member of the right prime minister. I no longer intend to use him, so I plan to transfer him to the Ministry of War as a casualty in the service."

"The vacant post of commander of the imperial army will be handed over to Commander Zhang."

As soon as the emperor said the secret he had been selling for a long time, Jin Lan began to celebrate in his heart.

You know, the most difficult thing about their plan to conquer the imperial city is that Uncle Jiang is still in charge of the imperial army, and Zhang Ming has always been at odds with him, so there are very few possibilities to bypass Uncle Jiang.

Originally, they had planned to make great sacrifices to attack the imperial city. Who knew God could give them such a big surprise.

There is no obstacle to the next step of attacking the imperial city, and their actions can basically be regarded as unimpeded.

As for Uncle Jiang, that eyesore, Emperor Dog seemed to have promoted him to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and he suddenly became the emperor's favorite minister. There is also a great hope that he can succeed to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

But Jin Lan knew very well that based on how much the Dog Emperor was bored with him now, let alone his favor, he was just looking for a suitable opportunity to completely eliminate Uncle Jiang.

Even though she had thousands of thoughts in her heart, she still wanted to express her praise for the Dog Emperor.

"Your Majesty is so wise, I believe Commander Jiang... no, Commander Jiang and Commander Zhang will be grateful for your support if they find out."

The emperor was praised for being happy physically and mentally, but he said that the situation on the right side of the Prime Minister was a bit dire.

Because the floods rose so fast, they were unprepared. In just one stick of incense, they watched the floods spread up from the river and go straight to the military camp.

At present, there is a lot of stagnant water in many places in the military camp.

But the terrible thing is that the height of the water is still rising.

At critical moments, the staff rarely played a role as a think tank and took the initiative to persuade the right prime minister.

"Master, we must evacuate, otherwise the water level will rise and the area where we camped will be completely submerged."

But is the Right Prime Minister someone who listens to advice?

"I have already seen it. The water level will not rise anymore. We can just stay here."

Only by staying here can they prove to the emperor that they have been waiting for the opportunity to encircle and suppress the rebels.

And he also firmly believed that with Acha's manpower and power, the city must have been in chaos due to the flood.

As long as they persist for a little longer, they will be able to reap the benefits.

Seeing that the staff's persuasion failed, the deputy general couldn't stand it anymore.

"Coach, this flood is no small matter. If we don't evacuate in time, the remaining soldiers in the army will hardly have a chance to survive, and the remaining food and grass we have will also be submerged by the flood."

"In today's continuous rainy weather, if we don't evacuate in time, we will be completely besieged by floods."

"Coach, please think twice..."

The deputy general, a tough man who had worked hard in the army for a long time, had tears in his eyes, and he spoke sincerely.

He knew very well that persuading the right minister to evacuate now would be their last chance to survive.

Hearing what he said, the Right Prime Minister's anger suddenly rose again.

"I have already said that floods will not harm us..."

But before he could finish his words, the curtain of the coach's tent was opened, and a soldier rushed in.

"Commander, the areas in our army that are closer to the shore have been flooded!"

"Now the flood is approaching the coach's camp!"

It's a good thing he didn't say the last sentence. Once he said it, both the staff and the deputy generals all took a breath of air.

"hiss--"

Facing several pairs of eyes staring directly at him, the Prime Minister couldn't say anything no matter how strong he had in his heart.

He is also very afraid of death.

Qingqing has not been allowed to evacuate because the flood has not yet threatened his life.

But the flood was already approaching his tent, so how could he continue to stay.

"Go and notify the entire army! Evacuate immediately!"

"Evacuate to higher ground!"

After giving this order, the right minister wanted to turn the wheelchair and leave quickly, but he stopped and added.

"Remember to bring all our supplies!"

what?

Did they hear it right?

You are evacuating at this time, but you still need to bring supplies?

The staff and lieutenants looked at him in confusion.

"Master, do you have to bring all the supplies?"

It was time to finally escape. Carrying so many supplies would be a big burden to the soldiers.

But the right minister was not aware of this problem at all.

"Yes! You must bring them all!"

"If any supplies are lacking in the end, I will take care of you!"

After saying that, he casually ordered the guard who pushed the wheelchair for him.

"Why don't you take me to a higher ground quickly!"

amount……

The staff and deputy general looked at each other and secretly reached a consensus.

The Right Chancellor is now old and the decision is unreasonable. They should make it based on the actual situation.

In this way, the right minister's army soon received the news that they had to evacuate at all costs.

The place of evacuation is very unusual.

Some of them followed the right Prime Minister's evacuation route and retreated a hundred miles to higher mountains.

The other part is to let them go to the city controlled by Acha.

Of course, this is not because they sent some spies to spy on the situation, but because they considered it based on the physical condition of these soldiers.

Not long after, Ah Cha, who had finished inspecting the lifeboats, was about to go to the altar when he received a request from the guards guarding the city tower.

"My Lady Goddess, there is a group of soldiers from the Right Prime Minister's Army who have come to surrender. Do we want to accept them?"

Ah Cha was in disbelief when he received the news.

Those who wanted to surrender in the Right Prime Minister's army have all entered the city in the past few days. Aren't the remaining people who are determined to follow the Right Prime Minister?

How could he suddenly surrender when the flood was already coming?

"Zuoqiuge, go find a boat and go to the tower to check the situation."
