Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1037 Omen of Subjugation
At this time, there was a lot of noise in the court hall of Dongting. The emperor's face was not good-looking, and he was sitting listlessly on the high seat, but he didn't want to say a word.

The old emperor was actually involved in Wu Jiaming's cultivation of immortality. He even knew that the source of the elixir was somewhat unclean, but he didn't care. Anyway, as long as someone didn't expose him and didn't bother him, he could turn a blind eye. One eye.

After all, who doesn’t want to live forever?

But who knew that this matter could actually offend the gods, and even go to the old general to entrust a dream to him. Even Wu Jiaming's situation was just like what the fairy said in the old general's dream. Now Wu Jiaming's body is exhausted, and there is not much left. It's time.

Originally, the old emperor was a little unconvinced and went to see Wu Jiaming in person. However, Wu Jiaming also admitted that he had seen the fairy, but the fairy said that he was a person with fairy fate. As long as he did things according to her requirements, he could still do it. He became an immortal, but why did his body still start to weaken even after everything was done?

Wu Jiaming suspected that the people below him must have failed to do as he asked and wanted to kill everyone. He also remembered what the fairy godmother said that he could no longer kill, so he had to have people check it, but no matter how he checked, there was no flaw. , his body began to weaken uncontrollably.

He was originally a person who was extremely afraid of death. Now that he saw his body become like this, he was crying every day. Even if he was so sick that he could not move easily, he would insist on burning incense and praying to Buddha, and begging the fairy godmother to fall asleep again, but he never got his wish. .

The old emperor also began to panic. Although he did not do those things, he also took the elixir. If the god was really angry because of this, he would be to blame.

He was troubled by these things. Even if the old general sent a lot of letters, he didn't care too much.

If you are going to die yourself, who cares about the life and death of others?

But there were still some patriotic people in the court. Someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the border matter cannot be delayed any longer. The grain and grass matter must be cleared up. If it were not for this time, the soldiers on the border would not be like this. Everywhere is restricted!"

"Even if there is no result for the time being, we must first send food to the soldiers. This matter is not trivial and we cannot be willful!"

The battle was originally so good that they had captured Beiyan Huizhou City, but now not only Huizhou City was lost, but Dongting's city was also lost.

Given time, can't we just go to the capital?

"Father, I am willing to investigate the grain and grass case!"

The third prince stood up. He was having a hard time during this period. Wu Jiaming was his uncle. When something happened, everyone turned their backs on him. They all said that his mother's family was unlucky and would be targeted by the gods. Even the emperor looked at him and the prince. dislike; despise.

The emperor was annoyed, and when he saw someone willing to check, he wanted to agree no matter who it was, but someone was dissatisfied and said: "It all started from Wu Jiaming. Who knows if that batch of grain is the punishment of the God of Heaven on our Dongting , The Wu family is the third prince’s mother’s family, so it’s better not to get involved in this matter.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone pointed the finger at the third prince and the prince again, feeling that they were also responsible for the war becoming like this!
After all, since they came back from Beiyan, Dongting has not been able to do anything smoothly, so it must be something evil that comes from them.

The third prince gritted his teeth in anger, what does this have to do with him!

The prince didn't want to quarrel with them, but just said: "Father, the war is tense, and the soldiers on the border don't have enough to eat. In my opinion, why don't you let the old general surrender? You can leave the green mountains without worrying about having no firewood, old general. I have worked hard for Dongting all my life, but I cannot afford to end up in such a miserable end."

Although surrendering is a bit embarrassing, there is no other way to deal with the current situation. We cannot let all the soldiers starve to death at the border, otherwise they will definitely rebel.

However, although he had good intentions, many people in the court did not think this was a good idea.

"Your Majesty, you must not surrender! How can our Dongting gain a foothold in the future like this? That Beiyan is so shameless. He has looted so many good things from us before. If they withdraw, their conditions will only become more harsh and excessive. In this way, Come on, how can we live in Dongting?"

This person's worries are not entirely unreasonable, and there are still many people in the DPRK who support him.

"Then what do you want to do?"

The man choked for a moment and then said bravely: "Of course we should send food so that the soldiers can eat enough so that they won't have to worry about winning the battle!"

"Haha, that's easy to say!" the prince sneered back: "When this batch of food arrives, I'm afraid the bones of the soldiers will be cold!"

Escorting food is not as simple as sending a letter, otherwise it would not have been known for so long before something happened to the food.

"enough!"

The old emperor said in a deep voice, "I have been arguing every day to no avail. Retreat from the court!"

After saying that, he stood up and left, not caring at all how the matter should be handled.

Things were delayed again.

The third prince looked helplessly at the prince and sighed.

Although the two of them had been at odds since childhood, they were still brothers, and now they are being targeted by officials, both civil and military, which is really sad.

The most distressing thing is that after the Wu Jiaming incident, the Wu family was targeted, and their mother, Queen Wu, was basically in a state of confinement. Although they could still walk around, they were not much better.

The old emperor has been dissatisfied with them recently, and he estimates that he will consider deposing the queen and the crown prince soon. In this case, the Wu family will be completely finished.

After the court, the two brothers rarely walked together, both looking sad.

"The border war cannot continue, otherwise Dongting will be completely finished."

The third prince couldn't help but speak. He had not advocated war from the beginning. With Lu Baichuan and his wife in Beiyan, Dongting had no chance of winning.

Especially when the old general wrote a letter saying that the other party had a very lethal little black ball. It didn't take a guess to know that it was made by that woman. It was better to make plans to surrender early.

"What's the use of you and me? Father doesn't care at all."

The prince sneered, feeling that the current Dongting was on the verge of ruin.

The prince left quickly. Since he knew the outcome earlier, he had to make plans earlier. He finally cured his body and must try to live for a while, otherwise he would be sorry for himself.

The third prince also knew this and quickly returned to his mansion to find a way out for himself.

At this time, the fifth prince met with the old emperor in private and revealed his plan.

"Father, I am willing to personally escort the grain and grass to the border and take command of the expedition. I will definitely repel the Beiyan army and protect our Dongting border!"

The fifth prince still has some confidence in himself. He has been suppressed by the third prince since he was a child. Now that something happened to the Wu family, this is his chance to show off his talents.

As long as he can win this time, he will be a big step closer to that position.

He was willing to take the risk.
