emperor cold concubine

Chapter 406
"Trash!" A loud bang of ceramic shattering resounded in the hall, and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty fell silent.

"It's so majestic to call the wind and call the rain and enjoy all the glory! Now that the enemy's army is approaching the city, you are timid, unable to come up with a decent idea. What is the use of the imperial court supporting you group of idiots?!"

Prince Lan Guo, Liancheng, stood on the side of the dragon chair, his eyes were full of fury and coldness, with obvious fear mixed between his brows, staring at the civil and military officials lined up on both sides, he could hardly conceal his murderous intent with hatred.

No one responded, and everyone knew that if they responded at this time, if they didn't lead the troops to fight, they would be courting death.

And leading troops into battle is also tantamount to courting death.

"Chenger." The old emperor called him, "Don't get angry, the most important thing is to come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy as soon as possible."

A strategy to defeat the enemy?

Everyone slandered, other than indulging in pleasure, what strategy could the idiot prince come up with to defeat the enemy?It's a pity that His Majesty the Emperor has been so mediocre all his life, and at this moment, he is still devoted to the prince, and he never thought of supporting the queen who will never leave him all his life.

The world is always worried about the power of the queen mother's family, but now that the war is in chaos and the country is about to be destroyed, what else can't be put aside for a while?
Among the courtiers, the two sons of the empress looked at the brick floor under their feet expressionlessly, and a strong sarcasm flashed in their eyes.

Since the Lan Kingdom is already doomed to perish, why bother to try to survive?

Or, did the emperor still think that the enemy's approaching the city was just a game to play with them?When the dawn will break, everything will return to the original state. The imperial capital will still be the former imperial capital, and the imperial palace will still be the former imperial palace?What's more, the emperor and the prince are still the stupid emperor and prince in the past, and they will not change at all?

Father, this is the end of the matter, and you still can't see a trace of nervousness on your face. The country will be destroyed, and you haven't thought of your son who has been neglected by you for many years. Except for using the crown prince to suppress the mother. What did Lan Guo do?
Counting all the merits in detail, none of them are worthy of being recorded in the history books by the historian. After so many years of mediocrity, it should come to an end.

"Uncle Guo." The emperor stared at the middle-aged man headed on the right, "You are the head of military officers, and you have 30 soldiers and horses in your hands. Now that the battle is urgent, how does Uncle Guo plan to deal with the enemy?"

The uncle of the country is Meng Qin, the elder brother of Empress Meng. Hearing the question of the emperor, he said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Reporting to your majesty, 30 of the 15 soldiers and horses in the hands of the ministers are distributed in the imperial city. They cannot be mobilized. If they can fight to the death with the enemy army as a last resort, and the other half have followed General Ao to the border a few days ago to declare war on Cang Yue's Phoenix King, I am afraid that rescue is too late at this time."

His Majesty the Emperor was furious: "So, there is nothing Ai Qing can do?"

"There is no way out."

"Oh?" The emperor's eyes lit up, "Is there any way for Aiqing to defend against the enemy, tell me quickly!"

"His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, who has lived in seclusion in the cold palace for many years, is wise to the people of the country, and knows the art of war very well. He is a rare general. If His Majesty orders him to lead the army, there may still be a glimmer of hope."

As soon as Meng Qin finished speaking, Liancheng was furious: "It's ridiculous!"

"He is a deposed prince, and he is already a mighty emperor's favor if he is not given death. How can he be qualified to lead the army to fight?!"

Meng Qin's face changed slightly, sullenness flashed in his eyes, and he sneered, "If His Highness wants to say that, I will have nothing to say. To defeat the enemy, His Highness, please think of another way."

"You—" Liancheng gritted his teeth, stared at his face viciously, his expression changed several times, and finally he said coldly: "Since Uncle Guo said so, I am willing to give him a chance. If he is the enemy, he is allowed to move out of the cold palace and give him a residence in the Jiaofang Palace."

"I'm sorry." Meng Qin didn't even look at him, he just looked at the jade steps in front of him, and said calmly: "I just made a suggestion, and I am not sure that I can persuade His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to fight - after all these years, The emperor and the crown prince have never treated him favorably, so why should he be required to stand up when His Majesty is in trouble?"

Liancheng retorted: "It is not His Majesty who is in trouble, but the entire Lan Kingdom. Uncle Guo should understand that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Besides, the seventh brother is also a member of the royal family."

Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible?
Uncle Meng Daguo just wanted to sneer, and he probably only thought of this sentence when the country was about to perish.When he was enjoying the glory and wealth, he never thought that there was a seventh brother in the cold palace, right?

Now is the time to use him before admitting that he is also a member of the royal family?

"Report-"

An urgent report came from far outside the hall, everyone was startled, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

"Cang Yue's 40 troops have broken through the south gate of the imperial city, and they are coming towards the Fengtian gate of the imperial palace!"

The voice fell, and the whole hall was in an uproar.

Those who had nothing to do with them just a moment ago were all shocked at this moment.

"Cang Yue's army has already arrived outside the palace, how could it be so fast?! How did the imperial guards guard the city gate?"

"My God! What's the matter? We don't even have time to pack our belongings..."

"Can the Seventh Prince defeat the enemy? Your Royal Highness, hurry up and invite the Seventh Prince out. It's the right thing to be able to resist the army now!"

"That's right, the Seventh Prince was a child prodigy when he was young, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to drive away Cang Yue's army of jackals, right?"

Everyone talked to each other, looking hopefully at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair and His Royal Highness the crown prince beside him, and pinned their hopes on the seventh prince who hadn't shown his face in front of people for more than ten years. Uncle Meng Guo sneered secretly, but a deep sadness and desolation suddenly rose in his heart.

Renting the noisy panic in his ears, Meng Qin turned around and looked at the empty and distant sky outside the hall. The weather was fine, blue sky, white clouds, such a beautiful sky, the fate of Lan Kingdom, but ushered in A somber and dark fate.

Meng Qin knew this ending a few months ago, but at that time, he was powerless to change the already doomed ending—since no one has the ability to change a stubborn and fatuous emperor, why not accept it all ?
The country is ruined and the family is destroyed...

Who said that if the country is destroyed, the family will definitely die?Meng Qin smiled meaningfully, it was only the royal family of the Lian family that died.

As long as there is no turmoil in the lives of the people and the people in the country - even if there is a turmoil for a while, I believe it will calm down soon - whoever is the emperor and who controls the fate of the Lan country, what's the big deal?

"Uncle Guo."

The commotion subsided, Meng Qin heard His Highness the Crown Prince's voice, turned his head, and smiled lightly: "What orders does His Highness the Crown Prince have?"
