There was a sudden uproar in the palace, and eunuchs could be seen running by with lanterns everywhere, a situation rarely seen in the dead of night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang were both worried, drastic changes occurred in the northwest, and the palace was still immersed in the pleasure of the "Northwest Victory" before, and the Xuanfu was lost in a blink of an eye.

The loss of Xuanfu meant that the gateway to the capital had been exposed to the iron hooves of the Tatars, and the inner Great Wall became the last barrier between the capital and the Tatars.

Xie Qian said in an almost critical tone: "Shen Xi'er is smart, I thought that he was confused for a while on the issue of Xuanfu, but he never thought that the situation was really as he expected, Beikou secretly crossed Chencang and suddenly killed Xuanfu, and now even the town of Xuanfu has been declared lost. It's unbelievable that I didn't know before this! Everyone in the world sleeps, but only Shen Xi'er wakes up alone! ”

When Li Dongyang heard this, he waved his hand a little upset: "Yu Qiao, don't make up your mind early, what's going on, wait until you see the battle report!" ”

Li Dongyang never believed that what Shen Xi said would become a reality. If this is the case, he will be in big trouble, because he suppressed Shen Xi's recital at the beginning, including the later criticism of Shen Xi, and persuaded the emperor to make a strategy of not sending troops to Xuanfu, which was all done by him Li Dongyang.

Now that the Xuanfu is lost, Li Dongyang, as the think tank of the imperial court, does not take responsibility, and it seems that no one can take this responsibility, and the emperor himself cannot be held responsible.

At this time, the battle report was still in Xiao Jing's hands.

Xiao Jing only roughly relayed the situation of the Xuanfu, and did not explain the specific details, Li Dongyang felt that there might be room for things to turn around. Of course, for this assumption to be true, it must be established that the main Tatar force was not in Xuanfu, but only a group of remnants of the defeated army inadvertently broke through Xuanfu, and then the guards around Xuanfu carried out a counterattack and recaptured the city of Xuanfu in a short time.

This is the best result at present, and it is also a very likely result in Li Dongyang's view.

But this assumption clearly does not stand up to scrutiny!

Xuanfu, as the top priority of the defense of the nine borders, garrisoned tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, not to say that the city can be broken by breaking through, and even if the Tatars invaded Xuanfu before, they could only hang around the major borders outside the mouth, and they had never had the opportunity to face such a pass as Xuanfu.

Where did the "remnants of the defeated army" among the Tatars come from this time to dare to attack such a fortified city and let them succeed? However, there is a lesson from the past of the Yulin Acropolis, and the loss of the Xuanfu "unintentionally" can also be "understood", of course, the truth of the facts depends on what is said in the transcript.

Xiao Jing hurriedly sent people outside the palace to invite the important ministers of the court to enter the palace, while he himself turned back to the Qianqing Palace.

Xiao Jing could have reported this matter to the emperor alone, but Xiao Jing, a good man, was afraid that the emperor would be sad, and he was also a supporter of the opinion that the Tatars could not appear in the Xuanfu before, so he had made a move to deceive Zhu Youzhang, and he didn't want to be angry with the emperor at this time, so he would rather go to Xie Qian and Li Dongyang first, and let these two pavilion elders play with him, so that even if the emperor was sad in his heart, there would be people to persuade and explain next to him, which was much better than him going to play the report alone.

"Two elders, you should discuss it first, and when you see Your Majesty later, how should you talk about it!" Although Xiao Jing has some ability and acts with evidence, he still seems too weak in the face of unexpected situations.

In history, Xiao Jing, as one of Zhu Youji's deathbed cares, quickly lost the power in his hands, and was finally taken over by Liu Jin, which is a good proof. Xiao Jing is in the palace, he is a good old man, good at making false promises, but not good at making decisions on the spot.

Li Dongyang also came back to his senses at this time, and said: "After seeing Your Majesty, it's better to speak out, is it still impossible to hide such things?" The Xuanfu is lost, and there will be danger in the next step of Juyong Pass and Zijing Pass, and if one is not careful, the Jingshi will also repeat the mistakes of the past after the 'Tumubao Change'. ”

Xie Qian hurriedly asked, "Father-in-law Xiao, and ask you...... Didn't Shen Xi'er be in Xuanfu before...... Is there any news coming back this time? ”

"Shen Xi?"

Xiao Jing was stunned by the question, he thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "In the report of the Xuanda Governor Yamen, there is no mention of Governor Shen, perhaps...... He was in Xuanfu City when the city was broken? ”

Xie Qian frowned for a while, before he just thought, I can finally raise my eyebrows, the matter of Shen Xi's report is not a fiction, but has become a reality, so Shen Xi Xiao'er will not be able to win the trust of everyone in the DPRK and China in the future?

But after thinking about it again, now that the Xuanfu has been lost, and the Jingshi is in danger, I still have the heart to think about these things, and I really shouldn't.

In the end, Xie Qian thought that Shen Xi had said that he had encountered Tatar soldiers and horses in Tumubao before, and he must have led his troops to Xuanfu after a fierce battle, and it was likely to be in Xuanfu City at this time.

Since the Xuanfu is lost, there is a high possibility that Shen Xi will be defeated and die, so even if Shen Xi has foresight, he still puts his own life into it, which has to make people sigh.

Now there is no news, this is not a good sign, Xie Qian followed Li Dongyang and Xiao Jing to the outer hall of the Qianqing Palace with full doubts.

Xiao Jing had to go first to greet the permanent attendant, and then go inside to talk to Zhu Youzhi roughly, and after Zhu Youzhi allowed it, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang could enter.

Because Xiao Jing didn't know whether Empress Zhang was in the palace at this time, if he was disturbed by the foreign ministers, he would be guilty of death.

……

……

It was close to midnight, and Zhu Youji, who was in disharmony with the dragon body, had already rested, and Empress Zhang did not stay in the Qianqing Palace, and Empress Zhang fell out of favor after giving birth to her daughter, not only because she did not give birth to the prince as Zhu Youzhu envisioned, but also because of Zhu Youji's illness.

The husband and wife can no longer complete normal intercourse, so Queen Zhang is at ease to raise a baby in Kunning Palace, and comes to see her husband every day, and even the face of her son is rare.

When Xiao Jing went in to report, Xie Qian and Li Dongyang were still uneasy in their hearts, and they were still thinking about the huge impact of the Xuanfu City Break.

Not long after, Xiao Jing came out and said respectfully, "Your Majesty summoned the two pavilion elders inside. ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian glanced at each other, and then they packed up their mood and entered, they didn't even know how to talk to Zhu Youji about the war in the northwest.

Ice and fire!

Ningxia Town has just achieved the so-called "great victory", Xuanfu City was breached immediately afterward, and now except for the fall of Xuanfu to the capital, the rest of the news is still unknown.

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang don't even know what arrangements should be made next to resolve the current crisis...... If Zhu Youzhu asked them, they might be stupid on the spot.

Just when Li Dongyang and Xie moved into the Qianqing Palace to report the war in the northwest to Zhu Youzhi, in front of the noon gate of the Forbidden City, the first British Duke Zhang Mao and the military secretary Ma Wensheng met.

Because the fall of Xuanfu had too much impact, the palace did not dare to publicize the matter, and the two important ministers did not know what was happening in the northwest, so they called people into the palace for a meeting in the middle of the night.

On the way to the Qianqing Palace, the two were discussing this issue together.

Although both of them look old, Zhang Mao is a martial artist, and he is relatively young, his body and bones are more healthy, and his spirit is much better. He put forward several ideas one after another, but Ma Wensheng couldn't say why.

Even if the two of them encountered various emergencies in their long lives, they never imagined that Xuanfu would be lost, let alone that the "great victory" in Ningxia Town was just a false report of war exploits. (To be continued.) )
