Chapter 844: Controversy
In the imperial capital, the towering medicine tower is conspicuous and abnormal, and it has always been one of the most famous scenery in the imperial capital. And at the moment when the imperial capital is in danger, it has a certain symbolic significance, if even it collapses one day, there is no doubt that it will also be the time when the imperial capital is destroyed.
The Medicine Tower used to be a place where the major medicine dao forces held important meetings, but now it is a research place to study how to solve the food crisis in the imperial capital. When the population pressure in the imperial capital skyrocketed and food became scarce, the first solution that the medicine masters thought of was to refine the feasible "Bigu Dan" to solve it, and the problem of how to refine it was studied here.
At this time, in the brightly lit conference hall inside the medicine tower, almost all the important people in the imperial capital have gathered together, and the atmosphere is solemn with a bit of heat, and the people who participated in the meeting are divided into two factions, fighting each other, insisting on their own opinions, and not giving in to each other. And some neutrals can only look bitter, frowning, and don't know who to support.
What they were arguing about was naturally the food problem that plagued the imperial capital, each holding their own opinions, arguing endlessly, no one could say that they could not convince anyone, and no one was convinced, and the participants began to be a little silent, silently waiting for someone who could make a final decision to make a decision.
"Qianzhixuan's army is advancing towards the imperial capital, he is planning an unprecedented large-scale attack, now the situation in the imperial capital is extremely grim, at this time, if we still want to kill each other, it is better to surrender directly to Qianzhixuan!"
The person who spoke with anger was Ren Kuang, the current president of the Medicine Tower. After Zhang Zhongjing was plotted to death by Sima Qingyun, Ren Kuang was elected by the pharmacists as the new president of the medicine tower.
There is a kind of envied genius in this world who has the energy and ability to juggle several aspects, and often excels in every aspect. The several medicine masters among the great cadres are such outstanding geniuses, they are versatile, and they are masters in many aspects.
And Ren Kuang is similar to Zhang Zhongjing, Sima Qingyun and others, in addition to his achievements in the medicine path, he has actually reached the strength of "half-step innate" in the martial arts. The strength of the medicine path has brought Ren Kuang a longer life and more energy, although he is over half a hundred years old, he has always given people the impression of being energetic and energetic, without the slightest sign of aging.
Since Qianzhixuan launched the war, the various forces that were originally in constant dispute within the Great Qian have united under the leadership of the Daqian royal family, and the same is true of the Medicine Tower, under the tie of Ren Kuang, which has made great contributions to the army that blocked Qianzhixuan at the beginning.
However, as the situation worsened, Ren Kuang was also under heavy pressure and was a little overwhelmed. At this time, Ren Kuang looked terrible, like an ordinary old man in his seventies and eighties, the original black hair on his head was gray and sparsely fallen, his face was wrinkled like a ravine, and a tiredness that could not be concealed always hung on his face.
Now the situation is getting worse and worse, the whole emperor is breaking out famine, and the stored grain is only enough for everyone to eat, but the refining of "Bigu Dan", which has been studied for a long time, still can't come up with an effective plan. And the most deadly thing is that the demon army led by Qian Zhixuan is getting closer and closer to the imperial capital, and an unprecedented battle of life and death may happen at any time!
This undoubtedly made the problems of the imperial capital worse, and made everyone, including Ren Kuang, anxious to turn gray.
"I still insist on my opinion! Those refugees have no effect on the imperial capital at all, but are a burden and a possible cause of chaos, so I propose to expel these hundreds of thousands of refugees, without them wasting food, we can hold out for at least one more month!"
A one-eyed old man stood up, he was burly, his temperament had a kind of iron-blooded military momentum that seemed to be born, and the innate aura of his body was undoubtedly revealed. He is the famous god of war Han Chong, the general of Han Chong, and the representative of the iron-blooded and ruthless faction in the imperial capital.
As soon as Han Chong's words came out, he was immediately sneered and ridiculed by Master Wuxin. Master Wuxin has always had a strange temper, and he has always shown no mercy to things that he is not used to, and he said in a strange manner: "Just to save a month's rations, will you drive these hundreds of thousands of people out and send them to death, so if Qianzhixuan does not retire after two months, then who will you drive away at that time?" Is it you or us?"
As soon as the Yin and Yang strange words of the Heartless Master came out, the atmosphere in the venue immediately began to spark, and seeing that the previous argument was about to start again, at this time, a voice suddenly reported loudly: "Her Majesty the Empress has arrived!"
When everyone in the hall heard this, they immediately stood up to show their respect for Her Majesty the Empress. At the same time, Ren Kuang and the others also breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, such a debate will not lead to anything at all, it will only go on endlessly, and now that Qian Wushuang is here, Qian Wushuang has enough weight to make decisions. What decision will the imperial capital make, or leave this important task to the empress of Qian Wushuang.
As soon as the door of the venue opened, Qian Wushuang and the others strode in, and everyone immediately saluted.
And Ren Kuang also saw Zou Dui, who had returned to his original appearance after Qian Wushuang, and was quite surprised for a while. Zou Dui smiled slightly and nodded to Ren Kuang.
Ren Kuang also nodded in response to Zou Dui, and then he withdrew his eyes and said to Qian Wushuang with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, you have come just in time, and now there is a decision related to the life and death of the imperial capital that requires you to make the final decision." ”
As he spoke, Ren Kuang gave a general explanation of the issues that everyone was arguing about. After speaking, Ren Kuang looked around at everyone, exhausted, and sighed again and again: "Your Majesty, the current situation in the imperial capital is indeed extremely dangerous, if you can't solve the food problem, it will be a catastrophe." But in order to save a month's worth of food, hundreds of thousands of refugees were driven out of the imperial capital and left to fend for themselves...... Whether it's morally, conscientiously, or otherwise, it's hard for me and several masters to accept......"
Before Ren Kuang's words fell, Han Chong snorted coldly: "The benevolence of women! At the critical moment of life and death, you old stubborns still hold on to the so-called etiquette and morality, do you want to bury the imperial capital with your old bones!"
Han Chong said this politely, and Master Wuxin immediately exploded: "We are old and stubborn, and we are always a hundred times better than you, a butcher who kills people and does not spit out bones!"
Han Chong no longer paid attention to Master Wuxin and the others, and said directly to Qian Wushuang: "Your Majesty, just as the so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, a person in a higher position must grasp the overall situation, give up the small family and take care of everyone, instead of entangled in the life and death of the small family and hesitate! I also ask Your Majesty to give an order as soon as possible to expel these hundreds of thousands of refugees from the imperial capital!"
