Chapter 407 The strategy of retreating from the enemy

Liancheng stared closely at his eyes, his cold eyes were like poisonous snake letters: "Aren't you nervous, aren't you afraid?"

"What should I be nervous about? What should I be afraid of?" Meng Qin smiled lightly, "Didn't His Royal Highness ask for all this? The death of Princess Lian Xin, who was only used by others, is just an excuse to dispatch 40 troops Dealing with Cang Yue left the guards of the imperial city empty, with no troops to mobilize... The crown prince has great ambitions, but after all, he overestimated himself, and now the army of Shuhe is approaching outside the palace—no, at this moment, he may have already invaded Fengtian The door is closed, and in about a short time, the crown prince and His Majesty, as well as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, will all be imprisoned, so what's the use of worrying about it now?"

"Presumptuous!" Liancheng was furious, "Isn't Uncle Guo taking your father and this palace too seriously? As a courtier, do you know the way to be a courtier if you openly criticize and ridicule your majesty?! "

"I naturally understand what is the way to be a minister, but I am afraid that your majesty and the crown prince don't know what is the way to be a king." Meng Qin looked around the hall indifferently, "At this time a year ago, my younger brother once said to the minister, The country of Lan is about to perish, and it is difficult to turn the tide, unless the country of Lan changes hands, there may be a place to contend for. However, the emperor and the prince are deeply suspicious, and even a little thing is an excuse to suppress other princes, and the courtiers dare not go too far with the princes. Recently, I am afraid that I will be charged with forming a party for personal gain, and the empress, even though the emperor is ruthless, the empress is grateful for the emperor's kindness, and has always been unwilling to do something wrong. Within a year, it will be impossible for the country to change masters, so the Lan Kingdom can only face the fate of being destroyed today—the gods and demons will not stop them."

"Come on!" Liancheng yelled angrily, "Put Uncle Guo into the prison!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, the courtier's heartbeat accelerated, his face turned pale, and the situation seemed to be on the verge of breaking out——

"His Royal Highness is going to put the country's uncle into the sky prison?" A stern male voice with a hint of sarcasm suddenly reached everyone's ears. Everyone, including the emperor and the prince, turned around and looked in the direction of the palace gate. .

A young man with rough but handsome features slowly entered the hall against the bright golden light outside the hall. He was dressed in white and coarse clothes that could not hide his dazzling and stern aura. His indifferent eyes only glanced at Liancheng lightly, then Moving away from him, he smiled coldly: "Now the 40 troops of the enemy country are approaching the Fengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace, and there is only room for 15 soldiers inside and outside the imperial city that have not been ruled out. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to put the country's uncle into the dungeon at this time, because he wants to display the resilience of a man, and hand over this palace to Cang Yue's army... Is this a surrender without a fight?"

Liancheng squinted at him for a long while, although he gritted his teeth secretly, but the intimidating aura that shocked the other party was so strong that no one could ignore it, he was completely speechless for a moment.

The courtiers quietly looked at the man who appeared suddenly, and secretly guessed his identity in their hearts. After a long time, someone finally made an uncertain voice: "Seventh Prince...?"

The man sneered: "Your Excellency probably misunderstood the person. There is no such thing as the Seventh Prince in the Lan Kingdom Palace, there is only one criminal minister who practiced in the cold palace."

"Seventh Emperor Brother!" Liancheng scolded angrily, "Is this how you speak in front of Father Emperor?"

"Hahaha..." As if he had heard some joke, the man looked up to the sky and laughed indifferently. The laughter was full of strong irony and coldness, "Seventh Brother? Who is your Seventh Brother? Don't go around blindly identifying relatives. The person on the dragon chair is your father, that's right, but I don't know him, if His Royal Highness hasn't woken up yet, why don't you go to sleep first, so as not to keep talking nonsense."

"Old Seven, you're presumptuous!" Lian Cheng's face was livid, turning white again, his teeth were gritting, as if he wanted to peel his skin alive.

"His Royal Highness, calm down!"

"His Royal Highness, please consider the overall situation. Now only the Seventh Prince can lead the army to fight against the enemy and keep Lan Kingdom undefeated."

"Yes, please think twice, Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

Seeing this, the man stood on the hall with his arms folded around his chest, and the corner of his mouth slowly raised an extremely indifferent sarcasm, but his eyes were like ice and snow passing through the twelfth lunar month, without a trace of warmth.

"Seventh Brother." Liancheng took a deep breath and pulled an unnatural smile, "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can mention it after the enemy army has retreated. As long as it is raised by Seventh Brother, I will agree. Right now , Seventh Brother, it is important to come up with a strategy to retreat from the enemy first."

The young and stern man didn't speak, but just looked at him coldly, as if he wanted to see through his hypocritical mask, only to see Liancheng's face was faintly cold, and he was about to explode again, before he sneered and said, "Just ask for any conditions? Your Royal Highness The tone is too loud, if I want the emperor to give up the position under the buttocks immediately, will the crown prince agree?"

"You—" Liancheng's face was extremely ugly for a moment, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"For things that can't be done, please don't utter wild words easily. Besides," the man sneered disdainfully, and didn't mind adding a little color to his face, "I didn't come here today to provide a way to retreat from the enemy." It's a policy, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince should not have too much hope, lest they will not be able to bear the disappointment and fear when they are about to die, and they will really lose the face of the royal family when they are so scared that they pee their pants."

All the civil and military officials in the room fell silent for a moment.

Anxiety and fear flooded into everyone's eyes in an instant, and hundreds of pairs of anxious eyes looked at the Seventh Prince who seemed to be at odds with the royal family in front of him—after nearly ten years, how many people no longer remembered his appearance , even some people did not know him at all, and the few who remembered him, at this time, unexpectedly remembered that when he appeared in the Golden Palace last time, he seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old, and it has been a full day since today Ten years have passed.

At that time, also here, the emperor personally issued an imperial decree, which fell on the 12-year-old boy's head, and the hard rhino horn scroll left a bright bloodstain on the boy's forehead.The young man frowned in pain, but the emperor blamed the seven sons for being ungrateful and ungrateful. He didn't think about the grandeur of the emperor's father's grace. Instead, he was ambitious and tried to seize the emperor's country. I will not be pardoned for life.

In that day, the young man seemed to fall from heaven to hell in an instant, staring at his father stubbornly with perplexed and desperate eyes, hoping to get an answer.However, the emperor seemed unwilling to take another look at him, and ordered someone to send him to the cold palace immediately, and sent a total of 12 big insiders to take turns day and night to closely monitor him, and finally let the [-]-year-old boy I tasted the taste of heart death and hatred in one day.
