When Yang Ning got the news that Zhengyang County was lost and tens of thousands of troops of the Taiping Army were approaching Yuejing, in the palace, the crown prince Wu Jing also received this briefing, and he sat in the empty hall in despair, looking at the place under the steps that should have been full of military generals, but now there were only Zhou Tai, the secretary of the military department, and a few petty officials whose names he couldn't even name. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Xu Shilang is loyal to the country, is Da Yue really over?" His face turned pale and he muttered.

With a pop, Zhou Tai knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, as long as Your Highness is still there, Da Yue will not die, Your Highness must not lose your confidence!" ”

Wu Jing sighed: "I understand the loyalty of the Qing family, but now that it is now, I am afraid that it is Da Luo Jin Xian, and he will not be able to return to the sky." What about Zhang Zuoxiang, why didn't he enter the court today? ”

"Your Highness, Zhang Zuoxiang is him, I'm afraid he can't be trusted." Zhou Tai gritted his teeth and said.

"What do you say? Zhang Zuoxiang him, what's wrong with him? Wu Jing was shocked.

Zhou Tai said: "Your Highness, when the ministers entered the court to see Your Highness, almost all the courtiers went to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, in their eyes, where is His Highness, and the minister suspects that Zhang Ning wants to plot against him?" ”

"Bad intentions, what else do I have to plan for now?" Wu Jing smiled bitterly: "Or maybe he just doesn't want me to worry, gather the ministers to discuss how to solve the current crisis, right?" ”

"Your Highness." Zhou Tai stood up and said sharply: "You yourself can be the biggest target of his scheme, and now that you are about to fall, those are planning for their own selfish interests, if Zhang Ning has bad intentions, as long as he takes you down and dedicates you to that Qin Feng, wouldn't he be able to be prosperous and rich again?" ”

Wu Jinghuo stood up and sat down again: "How is it possible?" This is impossible, my Wu family treats him Zhang Ning well. How could he be so ungrateful? ”

"Your Majesty, husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and when the catastrophe comes, they still have to fly separately, let alone others? Zhang Ning is not a loyal person, and the current form of Dayue is not good, and it is not impossible for him to betray His Highness in exchange for his own interests. Zhou Tai continued.

Wu Jing's face was pale: "This, how can this be good?" Now the last armed forces in Yuejing City are basically in the hands of Zhang Ning and his son, if he really wants to plot wrong, I, how do we deal with it? The palace guards, but thousands, how are their opponents. ”

"Your Highness, today's opportunity, it is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it is not, and the first strike is strong, and then the attack suffers." Zhou Tai blushed and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, you summoned that Zhang Ning into the palace under the pretext of discussing and resolving the current crisis, thinking that he must not be ready now, he will definitely be ordered to enter the palace, as long as he enters the palace, he will be taken down in one fell swoop, and then in his name, summon his son Zhang Jian into the palace and take it together." ”

"If you take it together, won't the city gate army and other armies be in chaos?"

"Nope." Zhou Tai shook his head and said, "Has Your Highness forgotten Jian Fang?" The general of the county soldiers who fought against Luo Yishui in Longyou County with Old Lady Xiao, he is now the deputy general of the City Gate Army, and there are more than 1,000 fierce soldiers he brought back from Longyou under his command, that is a big battle, as long as there is Jane, he can use his prestige bomb to suppress the City Gate Army, and ensure that this City Gate Army is still under the control of Your Highness. Your Highness, you can only be sure of your safety if you have the army firmly in your hands, and you can't rely on anyone else right now. ”

Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Even so, what can we do, how can we defend Yuejing City?" ”

Zhou Tai knelt down again: "Your Highness, there is a word, the minister doesn't know whether to say it or not?" ”

Wu Jing waved his hand and said helplessly: "It's all in this field, what else can you talk about and can't talk about?" Say. ”

"Your Highness, Yuejing City will definitely not be able to hold it, but as long as you are still there, as long as you control this last army, as long as you still have the mountains of gold, silver and jewels in the treasury, you will not have a chance to make a comeback." Zhou Taidao.

"You, you mean you want me to abandon the capital and go?" Wu Jing said in shock: "Do you want me to abandon even the Wu Clan's temple?" ”

"Your Highness, if you are gone, will the Wu Clan's temple be preserved? As long as you are still there, the Wu Clan's temples are all there, and the Wu Clan's ancestors and ancestors will only be relieved under the Nine Springs,"

"Where can I go? The world is so big, can there be that place that can accommodate us? Wu Jing was a little moved.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten what Emperor Li Qing did when he established this Yuejing City a thousand years ago? It is to suppress, block, absorb the barbarians in the mountains, for more than a thousand years, most of the barbarians in the mountains have been assimilated into our Dayue people, but in the depths of the mountains, there are still many barbarians who refuse to go down the mountain, stick to their own traditions, these barbarians have been coiled in the mountains for thousands of years, as if they are cigarettes, and although they are not nourished by us, they are also at ease. These people, even the heroic Emperor Li Qing had no way to exterminate them, let alone the Taiping Army, let alone the milky Qin Feng. Zhou Tai said in an affirmative tone.

Wu Jing's eyes gradually lit up, "Zhou Qingjia, what you say is reasonable, what even Emperor Li Qing can't do, how can Qin Feng do it?" There is still a lot of wealth in the treasury, and if we bring them into the mountains, we can use this wealth to buy, absorb those barbarians in the mountains, reorganize the army, find the right time, and fight out of the mountains again, repeating our great crossing. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, as long as we are brave and unswerving, there will be a day when we will return to Dayue. Your Majesty, now time is pressing, kill Zhang Ning, seize military power, and then abandon the city into the mountains, there can be no delay for a moment, once the Taiping army is in the city, then we can't leave if we want to! ”

Wu Jing took a long breath and turned his head to look at Grandpa Le beside him: "Grandpa Le, you make arrangements, Zhang Ning must also have masters around him, let Liang Yidao and Yang Yijian cooperate with you when the time comes, you must take it down with lightning speed, and you must not spread the slightest rumor, you know?" ”

"Understood, Your Highness, that Zhang Ning himself is not proficient in martial arts, and there are few masters around him, and he can still take these guards to the court, and he will definitely be captured when the time comes." Father-in-law Le bowed down and looked at his eyes on the ground, but there was a strange light.

"Good, good." A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Wu Jing's eyes, "Regardless of whether Zhang Ning's father and son are loyal to me or not, it is true that at the moment, as Zhou Qingjia said, the army is in his own hands, which is the most reassuring." Zhou Qingjia, that Jian Fang, can you convince him to work for me? ”

"Although His Highness is relieved, just looking at Na Jian's performance in Longyou City, it can be seen that he is extremely loyal to Da Yue, and he is now in close contact with the Xiao family, and with the influence of the Xiao family, he will definitely do his best to serve His Highness. I'll go to the Xiao family's mansion now, and they will tell Jian Fang, the effect is better. Zhou Tai said excitedly.

"Okay, if everything succeeds, Zhou Qingjia, you think that Hou will be the first hero of the revival of Dayue." Wu Jing said: "Father-in-law Le, you immediately send someone to Zhang Ning's mansion to give an order, no, no, you go in person, send someone else, it is easy to show your feet." ”

"Yes, rest assured, Your Highness, the minions will definitely do it properly." Father-in-law Le bent down and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

In the backyard of the palace, in an inconspicuous side room, it was the residence of Le Gonggong when he was fair, next to him, it was originally the house of Gong Xi, the two eunuchs of the inner court of Dayue, and now one has died on the battlefield, and the other is another person.

Aunt Ying sat cross-legged on the bed, actually embroidering things with stitches and threads, that was what she prepared for Xiaowen Xiaowu, seeing that midsummer was coming, the two little guys needed some cool clothes, Min Ruoxi loved a pair of children again, but these female celebrities would not do it, and they were all prepared by Aunt Ying.

Huo Guang sat at the table, sharpening his knife one by one, watching him sharpen extremely hard, but there was no sound, Father-in-law Le was also accustomed to the style of the two, so he just took care of himself and repeated the discussion between the prince Wu Jing and Zhou Tai, the secretary of the military department, in the main hall just now.

As soon as he finished speaking, Aunt Ying stopped embroidering, Huo Guang was not sharpening the knife, and the two raised their heads at the same time.

"I have to say that Zhou Tai's idea is still very feasible." Ying Gu nodded slightly.

"Yes, if they really let them control this army in Yuejing City and escape into the mountains, it will really cause great trouble to the Taiping army in the future, Zhou Tai is right about one thing, what Li Qing didn't do a thousand years ago, Qin Feng can't do it now. Thanks to Zhang Ning, he has already taken refuge in us, and of course there is Grandpa Le, with these as foreshadowing, no matter how cunning they come up with a plan, they can only think about it, and it will never be realized. Huo Guang continued.

Ying Gu smiled and said: "Father-in-law Le, just do what they say, when the time comes, Huo Guang and I will also be there, you come and press the row, and you will be on top of the main hall to end all this." As for how to solve the Praetorian Guards outside, how Zhang Jian's soldiers enter the palace, and how to deal with Jian Fang, you go and ask Zhang Ning about these things, this person is the best at conspiracy and trickery, he will arrange it, the two of us, this time with you into the palace, that is, to act as a knife. Aunt Ying lowered her head again and began to concentrate on embroidering her flowers, in her eyes, it was naturally more important to embroider clothes for Xiaowen and Xiaowu.

"The slave knows." Father-in-law Le nodded yes, bent down and exited this side room, as soon as he went out, his waist was straight, his eyes swept left and right, he took duck steps, and left with three swaying steps.

Yuejing City is surging, and in Baoqing Port in Changyang County, a group of people and horses are walking on a large sea ship in turn, Luo Yishui, Chen Ci, Fu Ming, Huang Hao and others are at the back of the team, the four of them turned around, and glanced at the lush mountains with nostalgia.
