After everything was done, Zhao Hao called his mother, Zhao Qinshi, and gave serious instructions.
"Mom, please give this memorial to my father and ask him to forward it to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Take these ten small wine jars with you as well. I must tell him personally that these are the things that can save my life."
"Dad definitely doesn't believe it. Just ask him to send people to conduct experiments. Place the object in an open area outside, light the fuse, and quickly retreat dozens of feet away. There must be no one around, otherwise you will die or be disabled."
Zhao Qin's heart was trembling with fear and she was very frightened, but she still didn't believe Zhao Hao's words.
"Hao'er, what on earth are you going to do?"
"You don't need to ask any more questions. Just tell dad what I said verbatim."
Seeing that Zhao Hao refused to explain, Zhao Qin had no choice but to ask: "Hao'er, can this really save you?"
Zhao Hao nodded and said: "As long as I give the things to Dad and let Dad report to Her Majesty the Queen, the child will definitely not die."
Zhao Qin agreed: "Okay, mother believes in you, but now you have to agree to keep Miss Su Si for mother."
Zhao Hao didn't want to waste any more time, so he had to agree: "Okay, why don't you agree to it?"
"Okay, Mom, go find your dad now!"
After saying that, he put away the letter, had ten wine jars carried outside the cell, and called the girl Su Si in again.
"Miss Su, I have wronged you in the past two days. Don't worry, I, the Zhao family, will always keep what I say."
With a pair of tearful eyes, she looked at Zhao Hao next to her again, then covered her face and left.
Looking at her leaving figure, Zhao Hao sighed helplessly: "It's like parting between life and death. It's really unbearable!"
Lying down on the quilt, Zhao Hao ignored Su Si and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
…
Imperial Palace, Chengming Hall.
Queen Jiang Waner looked solemn, and the two groups of civil and military officers sat in rows, all of them lowering their heads in silence.
The atmosphere in the entire Chengming Hall was extremely solemn, and you could hear a needle drop.
Just now, eight hundred miles of urgent news came from Mubeicheng.
Seven days ago, the barbarian army began its third siege. After the first two battles, Mubeicheng suffered heavy losses, with less than 30,000 defenders.
General Chu Yun has mobilized the people in the city to defend the city together with the soldiers, but the city is still broken in a matter of seconds. I hope the imperial court will send a large army to help as soon as possible. It is urgent!
This was already the case seven days ago.
It is simply unimaginable what the situation in Mubeicheng is now.
Seeing that no one spoke, Jiang Waner's eyes fell on a strong and fat old man below.
"Right Prime Minister, how many days will it take for the troops from Mingzhou and Yunzhou to be assembled?"
The right minister, Xiao Danglu, was nearly seventy years old and the first general in Daqian.
Xiao Chuyun, the current guard of Mubeicheng, is his son.
Xiao Danglu said: "Your Majesty, we have two to three days before we can all set off. The 30,000 Dingzhou Army that set out ten days ago can reach Mubeicheng in these two or three days."
Jiang Waner nodded: "According to your opinion, is Mubeicheng in danger of falling? Do we need to make early plans?"
Xiao Danglu said: "Your Majesty, I...can't answer."
Jiang Waner let out a long sigh, a look of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"Now I am worried that the wilderness will continue to increase its troops."
This time the barbarians invaded, but the court did not receive any news.
As if falling from the sky, the 130,000 barbarian army appeared under Mubei City, catching everyone by surprise.
If the wilderness continues to increase its troops, the pressure will increase a hundred times in an instant, and it will take an overwhelming force to fight it.
Once this is done, the other three directions, except for the Yue Kingdom in the east, the west and the south will probably take advantage of the situation.
By then, there will be enemies on three sides, and the destruction of the country is by no means an alarmist statement.
Xiao Danglu said: "Your Majesty's worries are not unreasonable. In my humble opinion, we really need to make complete preparations in advance."
"Once Mubeicheng falls, we will have no danger to defend the north, and the barbarians will march straight in, with disastrous consequences."
At this time, on the other side, a thin old man led by the leader came out and said: "Your Majesty, is this too much to make a fuss about?"
"Mubei City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as Dingzhou reinforcements arrive, under the command of General Chuyun, they will be able to hold on for ten days."
"It will not be difficult to join forces with the Mingzhou Yunzhou army to defend the enemy outside Mubei City."
"If we mobilize the power of the country, once there are changes in the west and south, it will be difficult to stabilize it."
"I hope your Majesty will learn from this."
This old man is the leader of the ministers, the left prime minister Lu Liuliang.
When Xiao Danlu heard this, he immediately said anxiously:
"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the foundation of our country, so we must not take any chances..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Liuliang immediately interrupted:
"Right Prime Minister, don't you even have confidence in your son, General Chuyun?"
Xiao Danglu said angrily: "Prime Minister Zuo, how can this matter be measured by confidence? How can national affairs be tied to one person?"
Jiang Wan'er shouted in a deep voice: "Okay! Both of you are ministers of the humerus. At this critical moment, how can you talk like children? I will make a decision on this matter after careful consideration."
As she said that, her eyes fell on another thin man and said in a deep voice: "Master Nei Shi?"
Zhao Wenxiang hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty's orders!"
Jiang Wan'er said: "The Neishi Yamen must continue to prepare more money and food, and be sure to be prepared!"
Zhao Wenxiang said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Waner said: "Okay, let's all disperse."
After leaving the palace, Zhao Wenxiang still did not go home, but went directly to Neishi Yamen.
