Chapter 203
Next, the southern fighters gradually became more intense.

After Wang Yifeng took Ningzhou, he launched an attack on several surrounding states and counties. Fortunately, Jin Yantang had the foresight to send troops to protect these states and counties.

But even so, the prefect officials on the back cover couldn't help but report to Jin Yantang.

Logically speaking, the south should be a place where the soldiers are not weak, but when the first emperor was in power, he didn't train these soldiers very well.

All the brave soldiers who were originally brave were turned into waste.

Fortunately, in the past three years, Jin Yantang has reorganized the army in various places, and this is how it looks like today.

On the eighth day of August, early morning.

In the Jinluan Hall, all the courtiers looked serious and the atmosphere was very dignified. No one dared to speak first to break the silence.

Jin Yantang rubbed the jade wrench in his hand, then slowly picked up a memorial and said, "Who wrote this memorial that made me abandon the Minister of War? Why is it still anonymous?"

No one dared to answer. They lowered their heads before, but lowered their heads even lower now.

At this moment, an official from the rank of generals came out, and judging by the color of his official uniform, he was probably a third-rank official.

I saw him say: "Reporting to Your Majesty, protecting Ningzhou and the people of Ningzhou is the top priority, and the minister has already found out that it was the merchants of the Ministry of War who underestimated the enemy and fell into the hands of the enemy. This is a taboo for marching and fighting! Let this kind of person be the Minister of the Ministry of War and distribute the army, I am afraid that I will..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jin Yantang gently put the folder back, under the hanging bead and jade crown, his face looked dim, no one could see his expression.

I just heard Jin Yantang said: "Now is not the time to pursue the responsibility of the Minister of the Ministry of War. What I want is a solution. If no one can stabilize the situation for you, do you want me to conscript myself?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers immediately knelt together, and all of them said in trepidation: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

It is not a trivial matter for Yujia to conquest. There are still many countries coveting the land of the Great Zhou Dynasty around here, and all of them have evil intentions. If they know that Jin Yantang is not stationed in the capital, it may be easy for the enemy to take advantage of it.

Jin Yantang looked at the group of silent ministers below, none of them could help, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Okay, let's retreat."

Waving to these people, Jin Yantang didn't want to waste any more time with them.

At this moment, a scout rushed in, clasped his fists with both hands, knelt on one knee and said: "Report! Your Majesty, there is new news from Ningzhou that Wang Yifeng wants to massacre Mr. Wang and the people of Ningzhou. If you don't use it after three days If the concubine Chen's life is changed, Ningzhou will become a dead city!"

Use Chenfei's life to exchange Ningzhou!
Hearing this news suddenly, Jin Yantang's eyes were slightly startled, and he didn't react for a while.

In the court hall, all the courtiers couldn't help talking about it.

Most of them are saying that Wang Yifeng is bold.

Jin Yantang sat back on the dragon chair and looked at the courtiers below with a calm expression. Suddenly, wherever he looked, everyone became quiet.

I only heard Jin Yantang ask: "What do you Ai Qing think about this matter?"

A civil servant hesitated for a moment, and came out and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine Chen is the only imperial concubine in my Great Zhou Dynasty, and she is also a symbol of status. How can I hand over the concubine Chen to the Tatars?"

This civil servant is on good terms with Zuo Xiangfu, knowing that Shang Kelan is Zuo Xiang's most beloved daughter, now that Zuo Xiang is away, he naturally wants to protect Concubine Chen.

Besides, this Ningzhou is simply a place where there is no return!
But soon someone stood up to refute his words: "Lord Li, now is not the time to talk about whose life is more important, so many people and Lord Wang, should we just ignore it?"

Jin Yantang silently sat on the dragon chair and watched these people arguing, but his eyes became darker and darker, which was a sign of his anger.

A bunch of useless things!

When these ministers reacted, they found that the dragon chair was already empty, and Jin Yantang didn't know when he left.

Only Fu Qingxi was still guarding the dragon chair, and he said to these people: "My lords, His Majesty has just announced his withdrawal from the imperial court, everyone, please go back."

He didn't see anyone.

For a moment, all the courtiers looked at me and I looked at you, with shame on their faces.

Two days later, on the tenth day of the eighth lunar month, Jin Yantang was worried about the government and fell ill from overwork, and news spread that he had fallen ill.

In a short while, this matter spread throughout the capital, and even the harem fell into a state of panic for everyone.

At Chenshi, when all the concubines came to greet Shang Kelan, in the main hall of Xianya Palace, all these women had worried expressions on their faces.

Shang Kelan looked calm, sat on the main seat, and said: "The news of His Majesty's illness, please sisters, don't spread rumors. The imperial physicians of my Great Zhou Dynasty are not people who are not famous. I think Your Majesty will be blessed and will be over soon. can heal."

"During this time, I also hope that all the sisters will not disturb His Majesty's peace, and allow His Majesty to recuperate well. For those who violate the order, don't blame me for not remembering the old love, and deal with it according to the palace rules!"

This was the first time since Shang Kelan managed the harem, he said such serious words to everyone. For a moment, all the concubines were both at a loss and stared at Concubine Chen angrily.

One of them, Jieyu, looked at Concubine Jia unwillingly, and said, "Concubine Jia, what reason does Concubine Chen say? The sisters here are all concerned about His Majesty, so what's wrong with visiting His Majesty?" ? Why is the concubine Chen so domineering?"

Ever since Concubine Chen took charge of the harem, Concubine Jia seldom wore red clothes, and usually wore pink apricot or light pink palace attire.

At this moment, upon hearing what Jieyu said, Zhao Kehan's eyes moved slightly, and he said with embarrassment: "Concubine Chen is also thinking of His Majesty, Tang Jieyu, just be patient."

When Tang Jieyu heard this, a look of resignation appeared on her pretty face, but she didn't speak.

Seeing that Concubine Jia, who had always been able to fight against Concubine Chen, was silent at this moment, everyone guessed that His Majesty was really seriously ill, and immediately no one dared to talk back to Shang Kelan.

But after finishing this matter, Shang Kelan smiled quietly and said to everyone: "From today on, my palace will go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha at Sishi every day, and pray for His Majesty's safety. If there is any younger sister who is willing, Let's go with this palace, presumably His Majesty will have a good impression of everyone after knowing what the sisters are thinking."

As soon as these words came out, all the concubines present showed excitement on their faces.

Being able to leave a good impression in front of His Majesty and let His Majesty remember your name means that you will have the opportunity to serve him in bed in the future.

What does it mean to have the opportunity to sleep in?It shows that they are very likely to be favored by His Majesty, and then the hardships come!
All the concubines and concubines were full of mischief in their hearts, and they all respected Shang Kelan on their faces: "Yes, concubine Chen, the concubines and others are willing to go with you!"

In this way, every move of the concubines can be controlled in her sight, and no one will bother His Majesty anymore.

Shang Kelan's eyes flickered slightly, but his expression did not change.
