Family Has a Concubine

After dressing up, Ye Tang changed into a red jacket dress with begonia flowers, and went out with Huiran and Qiuju.

Qinglong tea shop is extremely lively these days. The lobby on the second floor has long been full of people, and the storyteller not far away is flying around him. A group of people are surrounded by him, chatting with him.

Ye Tangcai came to the lobby and sat down, and a decently dressed old man in grey clothes holding a mountain and water folding fan in his hand said, "Yingcheng now, I'm afraid it's... alas!"

"No?" The surrounding people looked a little nervous. If they break through, the southwest will be terrible! Maybe it will come here. "Didn't General Feng go there?"

"It's hard to tell. Who doesn't know that the most brave person in the Feng family is the dead General Feng, alas, alas!" The old man shook his head, his folding fan was knocking at the tiger's mouth, "Dragon Boat Festival, the above are not in the mood to go to Tianshuihe to watch the dragon boat, now Not even Xiumu. Anyway... let's wait for the news!" I dare not say more.

The people in the lobby listened to waves of anxiety, and even the snacks on the table lost their taste.

The news they are waiting for is now being presented to the Long Case.

Emperor Zhengxuan's face was gloomy, his eyes were bright yellow on the long case, and on the book written by vermilion red, a group of ministers below were all standing upright, their heads hanging down, not daring to lift them up. In the middle, Fu knelt down a man dressed as a guard.

King Lu, Crown Prince, King Liang, and even the youngest King Rong, are all here, standing in a row on the right.

The prince stared at the guard who was kneeling on the ground, his elegant face was extremely ugly at this time.

The guard said tremblingly, "General Feng took the grain and grass to Yingcheng, but he didn't want to be 20 miles away from Yingcheng, but was intercepted and suppressed by the Xilu bandits. The 200,000 troops who had taken the past lost 170,000... General Feng With the remaining 30,000 people, they entered Yingcheng to join the few generals of the Feng family. But within a few days, Yingcheng was breached and Yingcheng... was slaughtered..."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhengxuan covered his forehead with one hand, put his elbow on the dragon case, and took a sigh of relief.

"General Feng and three young generals were beheaded. The last two young generals Feng retreated to Yu'an Pass with the remaining 50,000 people, and they are now standing there." The guard continued.

The prince's voice trembled: "Where is the grain and grass?"

"Food was robbed." The guard whispered.

Emperor Zhengxuan only felt that his eyes were dark.

Qian Zhixin's face was black: "The munitions that were prepared after hard work... have emptied our households."

"Now don't be tight to the grain and grass, but think about who to send to Yingcheng." Liang Wang sneered. "It is now obvious that the remaining two young generals of the Feng family are useless, and the Feng family is abandoned."

Hearing this, the faces of the prince, the old man of Rongguo, Yao Yangcheng, and Qian Zhixin were pale. That is the family of the prince's side concubine, which is equivalent to the military power held in the hands of the prince! Now, scrapped!

Emperor Zhengxuan at the head narrowed his dim old eyes and looked around at the minister below.

The generals now in use are King Kang, Xu Dashi, Rongguohoufu, and Feng Family! That's all. Of course, there are Shangguanxiu, Wu Yiyi and others in Jingli, but they are the commander of the Imperial Army and Jingwei camp, and they must not be transferred.

Thinking of this, Zhengxuan's whole person is no longer good. When did his generals become so few? There is not even one available.

But now is not the time to think about this issue. The most important thing in front of us is Yingcheng! Yu'an Pass!

If Yu'an Pass is broken, the twelve southwestern states will not be guaranteed!

The Bingbu Shangshu said: "Why don't you transfer King Kang or General Xu to Yu'an Pass."

Liao Shoufu immediately retorted: "The area of ​​the northwest is vast, and these two men are overwhelmed by their defense. If one person is transferred and the northern army of Xilu comes in, wouldn't it be the case that Xilu is in the middle?"

"How about the Rongguo Mansion?" Liang Wang looked at the Rongguo Houye who was standing aside with a smile. That is the queen's family.

"This..." Zheng Laohou's rugged old face changed. "Rongguohou's Mansion... in Lizhou, it's over there."

King Liang fluttered and laughed: "Just in Lizhou, facing the cowardice of Beiyan, you can't take the time to learn from King Kang and General Xu?"

"You--" Zheng Laohou's face was black, but he couldn't scold a word.

Emperor Zhengxuan looked at Mr. Zheng Laohou so irritated.

For generations, the Rongguo Houfu has guarded Lizhou at the junction of Beiyan. Beiyan is a subsidiary of Daqi, poor and awkward, so it is the most comfortable guarding Lizhou, and it has a good reputation for defending the country. Lizhou has not been beaten in several decades. The Rongguo Mansion has become more arrogant and extravagant in recent years, and let them go to Yingcheng, isn't it to die?

It doesn't matter if you die, it's important, it hurts his soldiers!

The prince looked at King Liang's mocking eyes, his face was extremely ugly, after all, that was his grandfather. He said coldly: "The emperor loves to mock people so much, why don't you ask the emperor to ask for it?"

After speaking, the prince was surprised, what did he say? Then, his face changed drastically.

"Okay." King Liang had already knelt down on one knee: "Father, my sons and ministers are pleased."

"Yes, the emperor, let the emperor go!" Chai Xuezhen, the Shangshu of the History Department, immediately agreed, "Now the heart of the Yu'an Guan Dingjun is radiant, and if His Royal Highness Liang takes the emperor's personal conquest, it will definitely boost morale."

The complexion of the prince, Zheng Laohou and others changed, and the prince knelt down immediately: "If you are going to expedition, you should also be a minister. As a prince, it is natural that your prince will go on behalf of the father and the emperor."

"The sons and ministers are also invited." Upon seeing this, King Lu and King Rong thumped and knelt down.

The courtiers all looked wonderful.

Emperor Zhengxuan's old face was green, and he sneered coldly: "Naughty! What do you know! Is it enough to boost morale now?"

"Father, the blood of the Xiao family is flowing on your son." Liang Wang said.

The figure of Empress Xiao appeared in Emperor Zhengxuan's mind again, and his heart trembled slightly, and then he said, "Because of this, you have to protect yourself."

If King Liang goes, the military power will fall into his hands. His dim gaze swept over the prince, and if the prince is gone, he will definitely be victimized by an adulterer. Looking at King Lu, this one wants to go on an expedition. Let's get rid of the hemoptysis first! Then he swept over King Rong. If King Rong was allowed to go, why would he not let King Liang go? King Liang is still the elder brother!

"And, what are you on the battlefield? What's the use of just boosting morale without a general?" Emperor Zhengxuan slapped the table fiercely, and roared out loud. "I am so rich, so there is no one?"

The courtiers bowed their heads silently, and no one dared to stand up and ask for a fight. After all, it was Yingcheng, where such a brave Feng family died one after another. Who would dare to go?

"Give me your thoughts! Otherwise, what use do you want?" Emperor Zhengxuan yelled coldly. "If this matter is not resolved, there is no need to go down!"

The courtiers discussed again and kept suggesting. In fact, they were all going around King Kang, General Xu, and Rongguo Mansion, as well as other noble military attachés.

But one by one, they were put forward one by one, and one by one was rejected by others.

The argument had not stopped at noon. However, Emperor Zhengxuan himself said that he was not allowed to go to the court if he could not resolve it. In the end, he had to withdraw from the court, went back to rest, and let the imperial dining room take care of the courtiers' meals, but he refused to leave the palace.

But the other yamen in the palace were all down.

The Imperial Academy has not studied the history of the country for these two days. They are busy with Yingcheng and Yu'an Pass. Maybe they can come up with a good plan.

Zhao Fan has to go through the history of the previous dynasty and check the history of the previous dynasty, hoping to come up with a brilliant strategy. If he can solve this crisis, the emperor will look at him differently.

It was time for the next office, and Zhao Fanxu was still unwilling to leave. He was still reading the history books, but when he turned around, he saw Chu Yun was washing his pen, obviously he was leaving.

Zhao Fanxu felt a bit of a split in his heart. He kept busy working for an opportunity to make his head, but Chu Yunpan was not hurriedly slow. Obviously this opportunity was nothing to him. After this crisis, Chu Yunpan had a chance to face the saint.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fanxu was indignant and couldn't help but mocked: "Chu Xiuzhuan is this coming home?"

"Yeah." Chu Yunpan replied lightly. "My wife is waiting at home."

"Hey, Chu Xiuzan is really casual, and he doesn't care about the war in Yingcheng. In other words, it is also the place where the Chu family used to guard the defense, but now it has been slaughtered." Zhao Fanxu said with a slight sigh, "Chu Although my family is on the path of literature, it is time to be a civil servant, at least to make suggestions for that side, isn't it?"

A mockery flashed in Chu Yunpan's eyes: "So, did Zhao Bianxiu think of a good plan?"

Zhao Fanxu's face was stiff: "I'm thinking about it now."

"Yun Pan is thinking too, but it's not just staying here. People are thinking while going home. Going outside, maybe you can think of a good plan." Chen Zhiheng raised his eyebrows. "Chen Bianxiu also go home."

Speaking of Chen Zhiheng standing up, Chu Yunpan had already cleaned up his desk, and the two went out together.

Zhao Fanxu watched them go together, feeling that he was completely excluded.

Thinking of Chen Zhiheng's words just now, and walking outside, he might be able to think of a brilliant strategy. But what if you can't think of a good idea, and the old guys who are up have solved the problem? Then when he runs outside at this time, others will definitely think he doesn't care about the battle in Yingcheng.

Thinking about it, Zhao Fanxu hesitated very much, and finally decided to stay in the Imperial Academy. Those two went back on time, so he worked overtime, at least to gain a good reputation.

After Chu Yunpan and Chen Zhiheng left the palace, they went to the horse house outside the palace.

The two walked towards the stable where the horses stopped, and Chen Zhiheng said, "Don't worry about Mr. Zhao. No one is in a hurry for the war in Yingcheng, and no one doesn't want a countermeasure."

Chu Yun climbed: "What countermeasures can there be, it's just a shortage of people."

Said that he had already untied his horse, and stood up.

"Yun Pan?" Chen Zhiheng frowned.

"Let's go." Shaking his whip lightly, he left.

Qiongmingxuan——

Ye Tangcai was lying on a long case in Xici, tracing tricks.

Huiran was setting up a meal in the small hall, and Qiuju's joyous voice suddenly sounded outside: "San Ye is back."

Ye Tang was taken aback, and then continued to trace the flowers.

After a while, Chu Yunpan walked in, Ye Tang raised his eyes and cast him a glance. I saw him not taking off his official robe, solemn and powerful, just sitting on the low stool opposite her.

"What are you doing?" Chu Yunpan whispered.

Ye Tangcai curled his lips: "Drawing flowers." He gave him one, how blind are you in the eyes.
