Chapter 1556: Fear_2
“Minister song, is there any news from the supervisor?” Emperor Yongxing took a step forward and asked.
He stared at Song Qing with hope in his eyes.
In comparison, Song Qing was like a stray dog. His face was pale and he had dark circles under his eyes.
“Your Majesty, teacher Jian Zheng, His Majesty has fallen …”
Emperor Yongxing sat on the big chair as if his bones had been pulled out.
After a while, he stood up in a flustered manner and pointed at Song Qing. He roared, ”
“Nonsense. Song Qing, do you know what you are saying? The director is your teacher, how dare you curse him?”
He stood up and waved his sleeves with all his might, roaring, ”
“In Da Feng, who is his opponent? tell me, who is his opponent?”
Song Qing said with a wooden expression, ”
senior Brother Sun has done a preliminary investigation. Teacher Jian Zheng may have died. That day, there was a strange phenomenon in Yunzhou and the fate energy was lost. After teacher Jian Zheng’s aura disappeared, he never appeared again.
Emperor Yongxing slowly slumped on the big chair and muttered, ”
supervisor, how could this be? who could have killed him …
Song Qing said woodenly, ”
“The number of transcendent experts in the rebel army of Yunzhou far exceeds our imagination.”
Emperor Yongxing sat in a daze for a long time, as if he could not stand the cold wind, and his body trembled slightly.
He was enveloped in great fear.
………..
The next day, the news of the fall of Qingzhou and the death of the supervisor spread throughout the capital’s officialdom, causing a huge sensation.
The ministers gathered at the meridian Gate and requested to see the Emperor, but they were blocked outside.
Emperor Yongxing was sick. He was scared sick.
It was not until dusk that everyone saw him in the Imperial study. Overnight, Emperor Yongxing seemed to have been drained of all his energy. His eyes were unfocused and his face was pale.
Everyone was shocked, and the first assistant, Qian Qingshu, said sorrowfully, ”
“Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body.”
Emperor Yongxing laughed bitterly,
“Dragon body? At a time like this, do I still care about this body of flesh and blood?
“Everyone, the supervisor is dead, what should we do? The rebel army and yang Gong are confronting each other at the border of Yongzhou. Once they stabilize Qingzhou, they will definitely make a comeback and attack the capital sooner or later.”
Prison was the last backbone of Da Feng.
Imperial censor of the left Liu Hong said,
“Your Majesty, there’s still Xu yinluo and Da Feng. We’re not without a fighting chance.”
Emperor Yongxing shook his head slightly,
“Although my cultivation is shallow, I know what a rank 3 martial artist can and can’t do.
even the supervisor died at the hands of the rebel army. What can Xu yinluo do? ”
Liu Hong was at a loss for words.
In the Imperial study, the atmosphere was heavy and silent.
After a long time, the official of the court of judicial review said in a low voice, ”
“Your Majesty, why don’t we make peace?”
Peace … Emperor Yongxing’s eyes lit up, but he shook his head and smiled bitterly, ”
the rebel army has come with a menacing momentum and wants to take over Da Feng’s territory. How could they agree to peace? ”
“Your Majesty, how would you know if you don’t try?” Someone said.
“I’m tired.” Emperor Yongxing said dejectedly,
“Let me consider it.”
………..
Huaiqing Manor, Imperial City.
A plain carriage stopped outside the manor. Liu Hong, who had taken over Wei Yuan’s position and became the former leader of the Wei faction, got off the carriage and went straight in.
They passed through the front yard and arrived at the living room.
In the spacious and elegant Hall, the cold eldest Princess huaiqing, dressed in a plum blossom Palace dress, sat by the table and waited for a long time.
“I’ve already been to the Directorate of Celestials and met with Song Qing and sun Xuanji. I’m afraid that the director’s situation is really grim.”
The eldest princess’s expression was solemn, which was a rare sight. She looked at Liu Hong, who was entering the hall, and said,
“What’s the attitude of His Majesty and the other Dukes?”
Liu Hong sighed, ”
“Without the supervisor, the backbone of His Majesty and the Dukes is broken, and they have lost their courage. The Minister of the Supreme Court proposed peace, but His Majesty did not agree, but he did not object either, only saying that he would consider it. ”
“Negotiate peace …” Huaiqing muttered to himself. After a moment, he shook his head.
“The rebel Army’s ambition is in the Central Plains, their ambition is the throne. Even if they agreed, they would demand an exorbitant price. They would first ask for benefits before giving them a temporary peace. Using a blunt knife to cut flesh will only result in a slower death.”
Liu Hong smiled bitterly, ”
“Your Highness, you’re just a bystander.
“His Majesty didn’t have morning court today. He’s sick, and he’s sick from fear. At this time, if the rebel leader asks for peace, he will agree to it at all costs, just like a drowning man grasping at a life-saving straw.”
As he spoke, Liu Hong’s face was full of worry, ”
