Hurry up, don't shut yourself down, Your Highness

Chapter 268 The Empress Dowager (18)

Suddenly, a man broke in from outside the palace door.

Everyone instantly became alert.

Except for a few ministers who were greedy for life and afraid of death, they hid far away, and everyone stood in front of the man and gathered under the steps.

"Come on, escort."

In a panic, Rong Ci subconsciously walked to Mu Tang's side.

"Cough cough cough."

The man in front of him was wearing blood-stained armor, and after walking a few steps, he fell limply to the ground.

His voice was very weak and he said intermittently: "Emperor, Your Majesty, I, I am a soldier stationed at the border."

After a pause, he took out the crumpled and blood-stained paper in his hand.

"General, general, let the subordinates hand over, hand over to the emperor."

After finishing speaking, the man's face turned pale again, and he fell to the ground, fainting.

Several courageous courtiers walked over cautiously and pulled out the letter that was tightly held in the man's hand.

The little emperor was obviously also frightened by the scene in front of him, his expression was dull, he couldn't make a sound, and sat motionless on his seat in a daze.

Mu Tang took the bloody and torn letter, but luckily the content inside was still clear.

Just a few big characters.

——Respect the courage to attack, and send reinforcements quickly.

"My queen, what happened?"

"Yeah! What's the matter?"

The minister below looked anxiously at the woman sitting on the seat.

"Zunyong is coming in menacingly, and the border guards are looking for reinforcements."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall.

"The old man knew that Zun Yong's gang of thieves would be dishonest."

"At the beginning, we should have a decisive battle with them."

"What kind of a hero is being so sneaky and taking advantage of people's unpreparedness."

"I suggest counterattacking back, so that those people know that I, Baichu, are not easy to bully."

Half of the ministers also frowned, very distressed.

At this time, a tall and strong man stood up.

"Queen Mother, does the letter explain the current situation of the border defense?"

"No."

Hearing this, he sighed softly: "Queen Mother, most of our soldiers have gone to Anshe Township to rescue the floods and build projects. Now they need to be dispatched. It will take a certain amount of time. I am worried."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War is worried that it will be too late, and Zun Yongguo's gang of thieves have already attacked the palace."

"Yes! Far water cannot save near fire."

Mutang's eyes were dark, and he said lightly: "Oh, according to the Shangshu, what should be done?"

Just wait for her to ask this sentence.

The man suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said lightly: "The old minister thought that we could pretend to ask for peace first, delay the time, and then secretly transfer the soldiers to the border."

Half of the ministers stood up and said one after another.

"The minister agrees."

"The minister also agrees."

The rest stood in place, kept silent, and continued to wait and see.

From the corner of Mutang's eyes, he caught a glimpse of an empty seat not far away, and suddenly understood the intention of the regent.

really.

I only heard the Shangshu of the Ministry of War continue: "Queen Mother, you need to be a noble person in order to successfully confuse the Zunyong people in this matter."

Immediately afterwards, another person continued: "Queen Mother, this person must be convincing in order to confuse the other party's attention."

Mutang quietly watched the few people below directing and acting themselves, and did not reply.

The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.

After a long time without waiting for the woman's response, one person asked, "Then who is more suitable?"

"Uh, this."

Minister of the Ministry of War bowed his head and pondered for a moment: "The emperor is still young, and the regent is seriously ill. The only one left who can take on such an important task is the queen mother."

　The second watch, what's the ticket?
