"Ren Jun..."
Mingxuan looked at the curtain on the top of the bed and murmured the name.
"But... I always feel that Ren Jun is rebellious."
At this time, Mingxuan's tone of voice didn't fluctuate, as if he was chatting with an old friend, and even he called himself "I".
"Your Majesty, Ren Jun has been with you for more than ten years. Don't you still know if he has turned against you?
That's all Nie Chen's plan to alienate you, Your Majesty!
Those rumors must have been spread by Nie Chen. He praised Pang Shou, belittled Ren Jun, and said that Ren Jun had the intention to rebel, just to get you to transfer Ren Jun away and replace Pang Shou.
He is afraid of Ren Jun, he can't defeat Ren Jun! If he can defeat it, why not attack Wang'an County? Why go to all the trouble to implement this divorce plan?
We have all seen the result. Ren Jun defended the city for several days. It was impregnable and the enemy could not climb a step on the city wall.
It was Pang Shou who came over. In two days, two days in total, the entire army of 200,000 was wiped out.
He also sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to Nie Chen, as well as countless provisions and weapons. Our side suffered heavy losses and the enemy's army increased greatly!
emperor! Wake up! "
"Cough cough cough..."
Lao Fang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood again. Zheng Sanlang quickly sat next to him and helped him massage his chest.
"Old Fang, your body is already like this. Please stop saying a few words. The Emperor will make his own decision."
"You... shut up! You, a sycophant who can only slander you, get out of here! Get out!"
Mr. Fang is angry now when he sees Zheng Sanlang. If it hadn't been for Zheng Sanlang last time, Mingxuan might have been persuaded by him in the end, and the two hundred thousand troops would not have died.
"Your Majesty, who is in charge of city defense now?"
"It's Ming Gao, what's wrong?"
"Ming Gao? That cousin of yours? He...he has never fought any battles. He is not even as good as Pang Shou. Your Majesty, let Ming Gao defend the city. Even if Nie Chen doesn't use the trick of luring the snake out of its cave, he can't defend it. ah.
He is no match for Nie Chen and Chen Wujiang. Your Majesty, you have to understand how terrifying our opponent is this time. If we are not careful, we will lose everything. To fight against such an opponent, we must use our full strength. Just fine.
That's it, the chances of winning are not good.
If it were in peacetime, it would be fine to let the prince take charge of the army. After all, his own people would be at ease, but it is different now. Now is not the time for nepotism. Ren Jun must be allowed to defend the city! And never take the initiative! "
"Okay, okay, I listen to you, I just listen to you! Calm down, if you are so angry, there will really be no useful people around me."
Mingxuan comforted Mr. Fang.
Then he said to the guard,
"Go, inform Ren Jun and ask him to come to see me. I want him to take charge of the army again. Go quickly!"
"As you command!"
Seeing that Mingxuan had changed his mind, Mr. Fang felt relieved and even breathed easier.
"Wen'er, come here."
"Father."
"You, now, go back to the East Palace to pack your luggage, take your wife and children with you, take three thousand guards from the palace, and leave the capital under the cover of night without any mistakes."
Hesitation is clearly regarded as right,
"Father, these five thousand guards in the palace are all the troops who have been with us for the longest time, are the most loyal and have the strongest combat effectiveness. They are all elite. If my son takes away three thousand at once, who will protect you?"
"Well, if the enemy can't fight their way into the city, there's no need for them. If the enemy fights their way in, they won't be able to stop a million-strong army.
Take it with you. They can protect you on the way. "
"Father, let's go together. Let's take the court away and leave the army to guard the capital..."
Mingxuan said angrily,
"Nonsense! With so many of us walking together, are the enemy soldiers blind? Leave the army behind and let us run together, then Nie Chen and Chen Wujiang will be happy to death.
They will immediately catch up with their cavalry and kill us all!
I can't leave. Even if I die, I have to die in the capital. I have to attract the enemy's attention and create conditions for you to evacuate. "
"But...Father, we can also retreat with the army. Can't we go back to Taiyuan together?"
"No! What's the difference between guarding the capital and guarding Taiyuan? What's more, the capital is taller and has thicker walls, making it better able to resist the enemy.
The enemy is already very close to the capital. If we drag our families and the army away, the enemy will catch up with us if they march in a hurry. By then, we will only be defeated more and more, and the more we fight, the fewer we fight, and we will still lose.
Children, that's not how battles are fought. Stop talking and leave. "
"Yes, my son... bid farewell to my father."
Mingwen kowtowed three times on the ground, turned around and left, crying.
"The prince is a good, loyal and filial boy."
Lao Fang sighed.
Mingxuan sighed and said,
"It's a pity that he is too weak. I'm really worried that he will be bullied by Qi people in the future.
I originally thought that in the future, Wen'er would be the emperor and Wu'er would lead the troops to frighten foreign countries. With their civil and military skills, they would be able to maintain long-term peace and stability.
It's a pity...my Wu'er was given away by Nie Chen..."
Half an hour later, the guard came back and reported,
"Reporting to your Majesty, I went to see Ren Shuai, and Ren Shuai..."
"What happened to him? He refused to come? He rebelled against him!"
Mingxuan glared.
"Your Majesty, Commander Ren is ill. He is lying on the bed dying. He keeps crying and doesn't know why he is crying. The villain explained his purpose. He said that he is too ill and cannot fight. Please choose someone wiser, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Mingxuan became even more angry and shouted,
"Bastard! Bastard! How could he be sick? He doesn't want to serve me anymore. He doesn't want to be an enemy of Nie Chen. He wants to serve Nie Chen.
Why is he crying? Is he mourning for me? I'm not dead yet, is he so looking forward to my death? "
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please calm down. Don't be angry yet."
Mr. Fang said quickly,
"Ren Jun is not crying for you. He must have also received the news of the army's defeat. Those people were all his old troops, and the whole army was wiped out in one fell swoop. Ren Jun also has a character that loves his soldiers as much as his children. It's no wonder he's not sad. Woolen cloth.
As for being sick, if you are so sick that you can't get out of bed or fight, it must be a lie. Ren Jun is resentful in his heart, resentful of your wrong decision, and is protesting out of anger.
Just let him vent his dissatisfaction, don't be indifferent to him, comfort him, and then let him go to war. "
Mingxuan sighed and said,
"Why don't I understand? I'm angry too. This Ren Jun is really ignorant. After I finish using him this time and resolve the crisis, I will do anything to him!"
Forget it, I can't comfort him myself in my current state.
Let's do this. I will reward him with ten thousand taels of gold, give him a decree, order him to defend the city and take over the military power, and tell him that even if he is too sick to get up, he must lie down on the city wall and command the army to fight.
Zheng Sanlang, come and draw up the decree! "
"I obey the order."
Zheng Sanlang hurriedly went to get the imperial edict.
