Li Feng’s whole body shook, Chang Geng watched him fall down on the throne with a blank expression Suddenly, at the area outside of his rational sense, a type of cruel satisfaction was arising in hi was very strict towards himself, he pinched his palm in silence and pressed back the bloodthirsty pleasure – he kneas the Bone of I with hi opened his mouth and spoke with not much sincerity: “Your Majesty, please take care”
It see was not hi just spoke up, the other duistrates in the main hall immediately reacted and followed his lead: “Your Majesty, please take care”
Li Feng’s eyes slowly fell on Chang Geng This was his only brother in nahness Li Min inherited his title and entered the court, he almost never spoke up, nor did he deliberately acquaint hiistrates He did not even use Gu Yun’s name to make conversation with military officers He only occasionally chatted with a few poor scholars about poetry and books
Chang Geng acted as if he had not noticed his gaze at all, his face reed “General Zhao had sacrificed himself, there is no barrier left in the Eastern Sea Westerners would immediately be able to make a direct push to Da Gu Harbor as soon as they turned north It was too late to say anything now, Royal Brother please get rid of distracting thoughts and i knew this, but his heart was a mess, he momentarily did not knohat to say
At this ti, who had been turned ashen by ru around him in the common folks for these several days, watched the Emperor’s face and dared to say, “Your Majesty, there is only one big garrison that is the Northern Ca but even plains If ere to clash with them here, our troops will certainly be insufficient”
“Moreover, the case of Tan Hong Fei’s rebellion is still inconclusive There is alht now If the entire Sea Dragons in Jiangnan were to be destroyed, what could the Northern Camp do? Who could protect the safety of the capital? The best course of action at thisGuo did not finish his sentence, for the eyes of the group of generals in the hall were nailed to hi arrows
This old bastard had not even yet cleaned his own behind A slight wind just rose up and he already dared to convince His Majesty to move the capital elsewhere, if it weren’t for this situation of ene from outside and chaotic state of affairs on the inside, perhaps everyone would have cut hi Guo sed thickly and breathed out, bending his back, not daring to look up
Li Feng’s expression was unfathonored wang Guo and only said: “Let Tan Hong Fei return to his position, give his with merits… I called you all here for discussion, anyone who still talked bullshit, then get out right now!”
In this urgency, even the crude language belonging on the street could come out of the Emperor’s mouth The hall instantly fell into dead silence, red and white flashed on wang Guo’s face
Li Feng impatiently turned to the Ministry of War: “Subject Hu, you are in charge ofOrders, what do you say?”
The Ministry of War was naturally born with a pale and green co’, which sounded similar to ‘sweet melon’, thus some people would secretly call him Minister Melon in private
As Minister Melon heard Li Feng’s words, his face twisted into a bitterOrder was issued by the Ministry of War, but how could the Ministry of War dare to send them out? He was only but a pen in the hands of the Emperor, would a pen dare to have an opinion?
Hu Guang wiped a cold sweat, talking with a lack of confidence: “Oh… Your Majesty is right, the capital is the foundation of our Great Liang It is the place where the people’s hearts turn to How could we let those foreigners barge in here? What kind of proper order would that be! Even if we only have a single pawn left, we have to fight to the end If ere to retreat now, it would only dishearten the troops”
Li Feng truly had no patience to listen to his nonsense repeating like a spinning wheel, he iht!”
Hu Guang: “…”
Everyone was glaring at wang Guo, but the nan Navy coe of the Eastern Sea? Hoere they suppose to oing north, how many rounds of cannons could the Northern Cauards be able to block?
On a certain level, wang Guo could also be considered as courageous, at least he had dared to speak of the truth that everyone else could not
Hu Guang suddenly beca si suddenly spoke up
The young Yan Bei wang stepped forward: “Would Royal Brother be willing to listen to a feords of lance over at hiently ser, water that had been spilled cannot be taken back, the dead cannot be resurrected The predicament of the border on four sides has becory Rather than a commotion, it’s better for us to think about what else we could do to save this situation”
Perhaps because he had followed a er the fla in front of the hall, his cale had unconsciously eased up with hi secretly let out a breath and waved his hand: “Go on”
Chang Geng: “At the ht in the fire, the soldiers have been moved, but the rations have not been prepared It is inevitable to witness the scene of insufficient supplement, thus I ask of Royal Brother to please open the national treasury and send out all Ziliujin This is the firstturned to the Ministry of Housing, “Immediately coordinate with the others…”
“Royal Brother,” Chang Geng interrupted hi – in this extraordinary period, the Druenerals are still carrying shackles as such, does Royal Brother wish to tie theo on the battlefield?”
If someone else were to speak these words, it would have been extre frory
Hu Guang who had just been left aside quickly followed suit: “Your subject agrees”
Not waiting for Li Feng to open his roup from the Revenue faction had bubbled up, the Minister of Revenue raised his voice: “Your Majesty, we absolutely must not At this tient need, but allow your subject to say a few unpleasant words In case when this situation is prolonged, after solving it today, ill co to use the portion of next year?”
The commander of the Imperial Army perhaps truly wanted to cut down the head of the Minister to wrench out the water in his brain, he instantly retorted: “The eneentleer daily expenses, this general truly had his eyes open”
“Your Majesty, if we do not extinguish this fire, how could there be a ‘tomorrow’? In case when all four sides are trapped in a dead end, si on the few small Ziliujin mines in the territory of our country, even if we turned over three feet of land, ill not be able to last for long!”
Hu Guang seemed to fear that he could not have an input With his face red, he shouted at the top of his lungs: “Your subject agrees!”
Chang Geng had only said one thing, he hadn’t had the chance to speak of how to suppress the eneument had already broken out He did not speak up and patiently stood still on the side, waiting for the’s brains seely wanted to crack open Suddenly, he came to a realization These ‘pillars’ of the court could only ever care about thein the one square of land they stood on If they all were to be fired to the kitchen, perhaps they could argue out a table full of new dishes as vast as a nation
“Enough!” Li Feng burst out
The surrounding was silenced, Chang Geng continued his words in a timely manner: “Your subject had not finished yet, for the second matter – Your Majesty please be ready to retract back our forces”
As soon as this stateain boiled up Even the wrath of the Son of Heaven could not hold back the noisy commotion in the hall Several older ainst the pillar
Li Feng’s eyes twitched, the flaer rushed to his throat He could barely hold back to not slash out on Chang Geng He frowned, trying to suppress his anger and whispered a warning: “A Min, there are certain things you must think of carefully before you speak it out, the ancestors had passed down this nation to ers”
Chang Geng reed: “Your subject would like to ask Royal Brother to please feel the pockets Using all of our nation’s resources right no many territories e be able to save? This is not ‘cut the land to raise the tigers’, but instead, a warrior cutting his hand Not cutting when it should be cut, waiting until the poison had soaked deep, until after we have been utterly defeated by the Westerners, would we decide to cut it only then?”
His plain tone of voice rese of the analects of Confucius was like a bucket of cold water, pouring onto Li Feng’s head withoutdid not look up to see the E has said it well, right now the northwest still had the Black Iron Camp, even if they have suffered heavy loss, they could still hold on The one of utners go north, the Northern Ca Reinforcements near and far have all been pinned down and may not be able to arrive in time, ould Your Majesty plan to do?”
In the blink of an eye, Li Feng had been forced to age ten years by his words, after a longdejected, he finally said: “Heedheard this order, he did not even blink There was no joy or anger, as if this hat should be done, all according to reason and logic
Zhu Little Feet did not dare to even breathe out, just as he was about to take his leave, Chang Geng suddenly re someone from the Imperial prison with only Eunuch Zhu would quite appear like a joke”
