Nightfall Chapter 92: Wei, I am worried

The battle for Chengjing shocked the world.

The one that was truly shocked was of course the Datang Empire.

The atmosphere above the court is extremely depressed and tense. A few days ago, the officials of the Queen’s group, who had been silent and low-key, straightened their bodies and stared at the bead curtain behind the imperial chair.

In the Great Tang Dynasty, the Princess Li Yu was behind the bead curtain.

The ministers did not conceal the anger in their eyes. The Northeast Frontier Army of the Tang Dynasty was exhausted, and such a thing had not happened for many years. How could this make the proud Tang people bear it?

Nowadays, the streets and alleys of Chang'an City are all talking about this matter. For the accusation of the new emperor and the princess Jianguo, Xian Zhilang was forcefully pushed to the position of Zhenbei General, and his decision to join forces with the Yan army was also arbitrary. The plan is now so disastrously defeated. Your Highness is not responsible. Who will be responsible?

Looking at the faces and eyes of these courtiers, Emperor Li Hunyuan of the Tang Dynasty almost grabbed the armrest of the imperial chair in anger, wishing to send the Yulin army to cross them out, just thinking of the emperor’s confession. He suppressed his anger abruptly, and then looked at the scholar Mo Han of Wenhua Palace.

"The Palace of Yan Kingdom was burned, Emperor Yan was sentenced...I don't want to argue for General Xian Zhilang and the soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army. I just want to say that they didn't lose our face."

Mo Han said with a gloomy face: "If at this time, any minister wants to make many accusations against the heroic soldiers who died in the country, please forgive the old man and greet his precious relatives on the spot."

This sentence is vulgar, but it's actually very old.

Officials of the Queen’s faction, even though Xian Zhilang is inferior to the generals of the Northeast Frontier Army in secret, no one above the court dared to make irresponsible remarks.

The heroic spirit must not be insulted after all.

Those soldiers have died for the country, but there are always people who are alive and need to be responsible.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites came out, bowed his hand to the Zhulian, and said calmly and directly: "The minister thought. The responsibility for the battle of Chengjing lies with His Royal Highness. I wonder what His Highness can say?"

The hall is quiet.

Everyone knows that the Queen’s faction will not miss this opportunity, but not many people, including the Queen’s own officials. I can think of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites directly breaking through this matter, not giving the emperor and princess any chance.

After a long while, Li Yu's voice rang from behind the bead curtain.

"All responsibilities. All in this house."

"When the war is over, the palace will meet with fate."

"But before that, you adults should think clearly about what is the most urgent thing for me in Datang."

……

……

Because of the defeat in the front-line war, especially the fiasco that many Tang people have never seen in their lives, the atmosphere in Chang'an City is very depressing. Although there is no gloom, the Tang people are more angry when discussing this matter. But in short, not many people are in the mood to drink and have fun.

Songhe Tower is still brightly lit today, because a few days ago, some high-profile customers had booked the entire restaurant. After the meeting disperses. The guests gradually arrived, and the excitement began to return.

"Shengjingcheng was defeated. The soldiers of the northeast army are fighting in a foreign country, but you and I are meeting in a restaurant. Although the heart is not afraid of right and wrong, the wine can hold the spirits, but Miki is absolutely not."

"Master Zeng Jing still refuses to come? At this critical juncture, how can he grow flowers and weeds in the mansion at ease?"

"Everyone has aspirations, don't force him."

Tonight in the Songhe Tower, there is a gathering of officials from the Queen’s faction. They probably think that they are all right and honest, so they didn’t make any cover.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites looked at the people at the banquet, frowned slightly and said: "Today's gathering, the main problem is the issue of Dongjiang, I wonder if you have any comments on your Highness's statement at the court meeting?"

An official sneered and said: "Fate with fate? What is the difference between this and the swearing of life by the market shrew? His Royal Highness has spent a long time with barbarians in the wasteland, how did he learn this trick?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and shut up."

The official apologized, but still reluctantly said: "I want to ask you all, in the history of the Tang Dynasty, are there any precedents in the history of the emperor or the state government who resisted because of the defeat of the frontline war? Since there is no such thing, Your Highness What do you mean by saying this? In order to stop the people in the world? After the war is over, do you and I really go to the palace and ask her to die? This is really absurd!"

Taichang Temple Qing stroked his beard and said after a moment of thought: "But if your highness does this, you can at least dissolve the grievances of the lieutenant soldiers... Now that the country is in critical condition, the next measures taken by His Majesty and His Royal Highness are considered appropriate. It is safe to move the forces of Gushan County and Beidaying eastward."

The previous official sneered: "It's just a way to heal the head and feet. Who can tinker? If I say that the eastern frontier is empty, you can also use the army to conquer the South. Your Highness is determined Using the three states of Gushan County, who didn't know that she wanted Huashan Mountain to defeat the Yan army so as to earn some face for her back."

Hearing this, the Book of Rites frowned deeper and said: "The Army of the Southern Army is far from the edge of the forest, separated from Qinghe County by the mountains and mountains. They can only bypass Shannan Road. The journey is far away. The Southern Army went to Eastern Xinjiang to fill the gap left by the Northeast Frontier Army. The Yan Army was afraid that it had already hit Chang'an City."

The official was startled when he heard the words and stopped talking.

"Master Li said a sentence earlier, and this official thought that was the point. Now that the country is in a critical condition, any disputes should be resolved within the court. I, the emperor and minister of Tang, should work together externally."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites looked at the crowd at the table and eagerly exhorted.

Someone worried and said: "But when will the empress and the sixth prince return to Chang'an?"

……

……

The gathering at Songhe Tower soon ended. The officials of the Queen’s faction finally decided to stay quiet for the time being, waiting to get through this difficult time before discussing the rest.

However, through the attitudes of those officials, including the imperial court’s arrangements for the defense of the East Xinjiang and the anger of the people in Chang’an, it can still be seen that now Datang from the emperor to the ministers to the ordinary people, although sad and angry at Cheng Jingyi As a result of the war, he still firmly believes that Datang will not fail.

Zhuge Wuren has resigned from the position of director of the Tianshu office, and he has also participated in the gathering in the Songhe Tower. It's just that this person usually acts a bit dangerously and viciously. Everyone is unwilling to deal with him more. Now he has resigned from his official position. Inviting him to the meeting is already on the face of the empress. Who would talk to him more?

Zhuge Wuren is very clear about the ministers' views on him. He showed no resentment. It just seemed more silent than usual.

In his opinion, these ministers would only talk about them, and didn't even know what the main point was.

Why did the Datang Army usher in a disastrous defeat? Why is the country in danger?

It is precisely because of the improper siblings in the palace. Stupid, as long as he can welcome the queen and the sixth prince back, Datang will surely bring the wind to the sea. All problems will be solved.

After leaving Songhe Tower, Zhuge Wuren did not return to the house, but walked towards the imperial city. He knew that after resigning, there were practitioners following him in Nanmen Temple, so he did not deliberately conceal it. His whereabouts, anyway, where he is going, not everyone can go in.

He went to the guard office of the palace.

Xu Chongshan is now the head of the Tang court guard. This calm elder who has dealt with Ning Que many times. He was still as honest and amiable as before, until he saw Zhuge Wuren's face like a poisonous snake.

"Zhuge, you are here again now. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Xu Chongshan looked at Zhuge Wuren and said. The expression was slightly dignified and alert.

Zhuge Wuren said: "I think, no matter how inappropriate. It will not be more inappropriate than your presence here."

Xu Chongshan frowned and said: "I don't know what you are talking nonsense."

Zhuge Wuren smiled and said: "I mean, there is nothing more weird than the fact that a master of the Demon Sect is serving as the head of guard in my Datang Palace."

Xu Chongshan's eyes slowly narrowed, and a cold light flashed.

As if not seeing his reaction, Zhuge Wuren walked straight to the chair and sat down. He lifted his front to shake the non-existent gray, and said calmly: "Sometimes when I think about it, I really admire you people. Obviously, he is practicing the Demon Sect technique, but how can he hide from the eyes of so many people and become a master of martial arts? General Xiahou seemed to have obtained a certain technique from the Xiling Temple. Could it be that you also learned it?"

At this moment, Xu Chongshan became calm, poured a cup of tea and drank slowly, but ignored him.

Zhuge Wuren looked at him and continued to admire and said: "The Demon Sect is really powerful. I was smashed by Mr. Ke and hunted down by the Xiling Temple all over the world. There are still so many people... The person of, should he be the legendary lotus **** seat? Tsk tsk, if this big man can live to this day, if General Xiahou is not killed by Ning Que, then the court of my Datang will be completely controlled by you?"

Xu Chongshan smiled slightly and said: "You know that no matter what you say now, no one in Chang'an will believe it, so now you can tell your intentions."

Zhuge Wuren smiled slowly, stood up, stared into his eyes and said, "I don’t know what the Queen Empress has to do with the Demon Sect, but I’m pretty sure that both Xiahou and you are all empresses. People, and I’m also an empress’ person, so we should join hands to do something."

Xu Chongshan was silent upon hearing this, and after a moment he said, "What are you going to do?"

Zhuge Wuren said: "Since you are an empress, then...you should be very clear about what to do."

Xu Chongshan said slowly: "Are you going to let me die?"

Zhuge Wuren said: "Now that the wild people are about to annihilate their clan, if the Tang Dynasty is destroyed again, there will be no place in the world to accommodate you demon sect remnants. Since you always die, why not die? "

……

……

Ma Shixiang stood on the earth wall and watched the sky.

The sky in the wasteland is very gloomy. It has been like this for many consecutive days. It seems that it is going to rain, but it never rains.

The report of the Northeast Frontier Army's annihilation in Yanjing has already reached Weicheng. The first emperor’s coffin is still in Helan City and has not returned. The empress and the little prince don’t know when they will return to Chang’an. The sky of the entire Datang Empire is clouded with clouds, just like Weicheng. The storm is approaching but I don’t know when. .

Ma Shixiang's expression is very solemn, but it is not because of the difficult situation that Datang is facing now. He is just the most common low-level general in the frontier fortress. He is not qualified and has no way to worry about the entire empire.

He was ordered to station in Weicheng, and it was Weicheng who needed to worry.
