"Um?"
There was a hint of suspicion on Zhao Changying's face, and Zhao Yu slowly took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Zhao Changying and said: "The Donghuai generals on this list are all our people. Please send someone to contact you. Ichiban!"
"you?"
"Jinyiwei!"
Mentioning the words "Jinyiwei", Zhao Yu's face showed a look of pride.
"What kind of organization is Jinyiwei?"
"Reporting to your lord, the Jin Yiwei is a newly established supervisory agency of our dynasty. It monitors all officials internally and spy on military intelligence externally. It can be executed first and reported later. It is authorized by the imperial power!"
"How can it be?"
Zhao Changying looked stunned. How could His Majesty allow such an organization to exist?
Although he was confused, Zhao Changying still opened the note that Zhao Yu handed him. After some inspection, he said in surprise: "Are you sure these are all your people?"
"The general is willing to guarantee it with his head!"
"hiss!"
Zhao Changying took a deep breath, with a look of shock on his face, and asked again: "You just said that the Jinyiwei is a new organization established by His Majesty, but everyone on this list has the same position." High authority!”
"How did you Jin Yiwei instigate rebellion against them?"
"Sir, these people are not my Jin Yiwei who instigated rebellion, but they have been my Jin Yiwei's people from the beginning!"
Zhao Yu smiled faintly, but did not explain too much. Zhao Changying on the side looked at him deeply: "Your lord, Jin Yiwei, is King Xuan Yong?"
"Exactly!"
After receiving Zhao Yu's affirmation, Zhao Changying showed a deep thought on his face. It seems that things have changed in Beijing!
The army galloped all the way towards Huaining City, and the sky gradually darkened. I saw a scout coming on Pegasus and shouted: "Report!"
"The Donghuai army was discovered fifty miles northeast of Huaining City!"
"boom!"
Hearing that the news was confirmed, Zhao Changying trembled violently, and his clothes were instantly wet with cold sweat. He took a deep breath and asked calmly: "Has the news been passed on to Duke Ping and Duke Yue?"
"Reporting to your lord, the two princes have led their troops to surround the rear army in Donghuai!"
"good!"
Zhao Changying suddenly looked excited and said: "Inform me, general, and the army will march at full speed. Tonight, I will make dumplings for the main force of Donghuai!"
"As you command!"
…
Dayu.
In the palace.
Emperor Yu and all the civil and military officials all had sad faces. They drank one cup after another of tea, and the debate never stopped.
"Your Majesty, for the present plan, I am afraid that the only way is to negotiate peace with Donghuai!"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Donghuai to refuse to agree to this condition of giving up the two states on the eastern border of my great Yu!"
Zheng Xuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, thought for a while and then spoke in a deep voice.
"no!"
Ji Sui, Minister of the Ministry of War, stepped forward and said coldly: "Since the founding of the country, have I ever ceded territory to other countries and asked for peace?"
"Now that the army has not been defeated, how can we beg for peace first?"
"Absolutely ridiculous?"
Emperor Yu looked at the civil and military arguments with a calm expression. Ji Sui stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the top priority is to immediately send reinforcements to the east. Once our reinforcements arrive, we can keep the main force of our army!"
"At that time, we only need to retake Huaining City and the crisis will be resolved!"
"Master Ji, now that I, Dayu, have no troops to move, is it possible to let the 100,000 recruits who have just been recruited for half a month go to the battlefield?"
"So what about the new army?" Ji Sui retorted: "Even if they are not as good as the veterans who have been killed for a long time, they are still a hundred thousand men who stand upright!"
Zheng Xuan, the Minister of Personnel, had a sneer on his face and said lightly: "It's just Lord Ji's wishful thinking!"
"My lord, please don't forget that the southwest direction must be guarded against!"
Zheng Xuan said while observing Emperor Yu's expression.
"enough!"
Emperor Yu gave a soft drink and glanced around, finally landing on Lin Qiushi: "How does Mr. Lin think this crisis should be resolved?"
"this……"
Lin Qiushi also had a look of embarrassment on his face. He hesitated and couldn't say a word for a long time!
"Your Majesty, King Xuan Yong wishes to see you!"
"Um?"
"Let him come in!"
Emperor Yu sighed softly, rubbed his head tiredly, and saw Ning Fan striding out!
"My son, please see your father!"
"No gifts!"
Emperor Yu made a move with his empty hand, looked at Ning Fan and asked: "Hongxiu's moves are carefully executed, have you ever captured him?"
"Reporting to my father, I have already captured all the red sleeves!"
"Um!"
Emperor Yu nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Lin Qiushi with some sadness: "You all should retreat, and we will discuss it again tomorrow morning. However, please don't mention the idea of ceding territory to seek peace again!"
"yes……"
All the civil and military officials bowed silently and were about to leave when they heard Ning Fan's doubtful voice: "Father, why do you want to cede territory for peace?"
"To whom should I cede territory and seek peace?"
"Is it possible that Da Yan came to kill you?"
Hearing Ning Fan's question, Ji Sui glanced at Zheng Xuan coldly and said: "Your Highness, we are currently discussing the matter of the Eastern Territory. Master Zheng wants to set aside the two states of our Eastern Territory and seek peace with Donghuai? "
"puff!"
Ning Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Suddenly, the civil and military ministers who were about to leave in the palace all turned their attention to Ning Fan.
"Why are you laughing, Your Highness?"
Zheng Xuan glared at Ji Sui fiercely and looked at Ning Fan with some displeasure.
"I just didn't expect that the words "ceding territory and seeking peace" would one day appear in my court, Dayu!"
"It comes from the mouth of a second-rank official of the imperial court!"
"Master Zheng, today we will move two states to Donghuai to seek peace. If Donghuai attacks again tomorrow, will we move two more states?"
Ning Fan's face was full of ridicule, and he said in a sinister manner: "If one day, the emperor of Donghuai falls in love with your wife and daughter, Mr. Zheng, will Mr. Zheng also send them out to seek peace?"
"you!"
Zheng Xuan immediately became furious and pointed at Ning Fan, who dared not speak out in anger!
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Yu gave a soft drink and glared at Ning Fan. This kid really went too far in humiliating an important court official in front of all the civil and military officials!
"Haha!" Ning Fan cupped his hands at Zheng Xuan indifferently: "Master Zheng, please don't get angry, I am just making a metaphor!"
"puff!"
Ji Sui finally couldn't help laughing, and the other ministers also tried their best to suppress their laughter. Zheng Xuan looked at Ning Fan with cold eyes, and said lightly: "Now that I am in danger of facing the east, Your Highness is If you are boasting here, can you humiliate the old minister and make Donghuai retreat?"
"Hahaha!"
Ning Fan couldn't help laughing and mocked mercilessly: "It turns out that Mr. Zheng also knows how to be ashamed!"
"When you threatened to cede the two states of Dayu to me, did you feel ashamed?"
"I, Dayu, have two states with hundreds of thousands of people. I ask Master Zheng to close your upper and lower lips and give it to Donghuai!"
"But the king asked you to sacrifice your wife and daughter, so you got so angry and felt ashamed!"
"It's really ridiculous!"
Seeing Ning Fan's direct attack without mercy, the smiles on the faces of all the civil and military officers gradually faded away. Is this person really angry?
