In June, the temperature is rising day by day.
The atmosphere in the Jinluan Hall was extremely oppressive, the ministers were silent, no one said a word, and the faces of Chen Li and Yang Che were equally ugly.
Jiang Ziyu sat on the dragon chair, also silent. His face was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this time, a civil servant stood up and said bravely: "Your Majesty, otherwise we... surrender..."
He really couldn't say the last word.
According to the latest information obtained by the white-clothed guards, there are armies of other four dynasties crossing the territory of Beizhou and already stationed at the border. There are already more than three million troops, and the number of troops is still growing.
It was not the Five Dynasties that besieged Dajing, but the Nine Dynasties!
Except for the Chen Dynasty that has surrendered, there are still eight dynasties!
In the past two years, wars have continued. Although Dajing has not suffered a disastrous defeat, the casualties of soldiers have been equally tragic. The consumption of food, grass, ordnance, and horses has also been huge. There have been complaints among the people. If this continues, the country will be unstable.
Jiang Ziyu glanced at the civil servant and was so frightened that he shut up and quickly lowered his head, as if he was in a cold cellar.
Han Tianji also had a gloomy face and did not say a word. Such a situation could no longer be overcome by strategy. The difference in strength was really too big.
"Come here, drag him down and beat him with eighty sticks!"
Jiang Ziyu said expressionlessly. As soon as he finished speaking, two guards ran in and dragged the civil servant down.
No one begged for mercy, and the civil servants did not dare to cry out for injustice, at least it was not a death penalty.
Jiang Ziyu glanced at everyone and said in a cold voice: "I say it again, no words to retreat. If anyone dares to ask for surrender, he will be thrown into the sky prison at the least, and the nine tribes will be implicated in the worst."
He stood up, looked down at the ministers, and said: "Eight Dynasties besieged Dajing. Do you really think that surrendering will lead to peace and quiet? Dajing has no way out. Either make a desperate move, kill the enemy, fight to the end, or die in humiliation." To destroy the species!"
"According to my decree, we will recruit another million soldiers, and all men over the age of sixteen can join the army!"
"In the face of the withdrawal of all troops from the Northern Zhou front, support other battlefields! Let the coalition forces from all dynasties attack the capital, and I will wait in the capital!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was moved, and the ministers were excited and tried to dissuade him.
Once we give in, the enemy troops will march straight in, with their swords pointed at Sizhou. If Sizhou is captured, Dajing will be overthrown!
Han Tianji, Chen Li, and Yang Che all understood Jiang Ziyu's intentions, so they all remained silent and had no objection.
At this point, we can only take a gamble!
Jiang Ziyu hummed: "I have decided to withdraw from the court, and the seven ministers will follow me into the imperial study!"
He waved his sleeves and left, and all the officials knelt down and respectfully saw him off.
…
Under the Earth Spirit Tree, Jiang Changsheng was sitting in front of the medicine cauldron, and Li Min was standing beside him, bent over.
"Now there are so many enemy soldiers in the north. My people can't count how many enemy soldiers there are when I look at them from a distance. What is certain is that the army flags are not only those of the Sifang Dynasty, but the Dajing army close to the Northern Zhou Dynasty is retreating. This is not good. , once the defenses are withdrawn, the enemy will definitely attack Sizhou."
Li Min worriedly said that the situation in Dajing was extremely pessimistic, and it could be felt by the common people, especially the people in the capital.
Jiang Changsheng stared at the medicine cauldron and said: "It's okay, hasn't the enemy army passed through the border yet? Compared with thirty years ago, it's nothing. At that time, both the ancient Khan and the Jin Dynasty had already entered the territory of Dajing."
Li Min said helplessly: "But there are more enemies. Taoist Master, do you want to make preparations to evacuate the capital early?"
Eunuch Li did not tell him about the relationship between Jiang Changsheng and Jiang Ziyu. In his opinion, there was no need to stay in the capital.
Jiang Changsheng replied: "No, if you are afraid, you can evacuate your family first."
Hearing this, Li Min became anxious: "Taoist Master, how could I leave you? In this life, I will definitely follow the Taoist Master and depend on each other for life and death. Since the Taoist Master doesn't want to leave, I won't leave either."
Jiang Changsheng glanced at him and smiled.
Then Li Min left in a hurry. He was going to recruit people aggressively, and he couldn't sit still and wait for death if he didn't leave.
Bai Qi clicked his tongue and said in surprise: "The emperor didn't do it on purpose, did he let the enemy troops come to Sizhou and wait for you to kill them?"
It has now reached the point of blind worship of Jiang Changsheng. An army of millions sounds scary, and it feels that Jiang Changsheng may not be invincible.
"maybe."
Jiang Changsheng said casually that he didn't care about the Eight Dynasties army, and even hoped for more.
The more people there are, the more generous the survival rewards will be!
He is waiting for the enemies to gather together, and the survival reward will reach an unprecedented peak.
Bai Qi's eyes wandered and he said: "Taoist Master, do you need slaves to support Dajing's army?"
"No need, just guard the mountain. Besides, if you go to the front line like a demon wolf, you might even cause panic."
Jiang Changsheng replied that the number of warriors in the capital has increased recently, and many people have even gone up the mountain many times. They are obviously spies. As long as he does not harm the Longqiguan disciples, he will turn a blind eye and let the enemy spy at will.
Until death, they never thought that Jiang Changsheng was not in the golden state.
Bai Qi felt a little regretful. It was not enthusiastic, it just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make great achievements, and then learn those magic arts from Jiang Changsheng.
Ming——
A neighing sound came from the sky, and the white dragon was so startled that he raised his tongue and spat out a snake message to the sky. He saw a goshawk circling above Long Qiguan.
The goshawk released its talons, and a scroll fell from the sky, accurately falling into Jiang Changsheng's courtyard.
Bai Qi immediately pounced on it, grabbed it with his mouth, and held it in front of Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng took it and first used his spiritual power to sweep the scroll to avoid danger. Although he was strong enough, it was always better to be careful.
Bai Qi clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "This eagle is quite spiritual. It is most likely the Martial Eagle of Tongwu Valley. Tongwu Valley likes to declare war first against its enemies. When they annex martial arts sects, they will send Martial Eagle to declare war."
Jiang Changsheng opened it after making sure that the scroll was not in danger.
"Immortal Master of Immortality, I am the master of Tongwu Valley, Wei Huo. Tongwu Valley and Juxing Tower gathered nine dynasties to conquer the great scene. I also invited a strong man in the golden body realm. At the beginning of August, the armies gathered together, and the two sides Chaozong will follow the golden body strong man to launch an attack and sweep all the way to Sizhou. The thirteen states will turn into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. If he does not want the great scenery to be shattered, the immortal master can come to stop it. If the immortal master is afraid, then he will do it early. After leaving, Tongwu Valley will not hold any grudge against the Immortal Master, and I hope the Immortal Master will make a careful decision!"
After reading this passage, Jiang Changsheng laughed.
Bai Qi came over to take a look, and sighed with emotion: "No wonder they dare to gather together. It turns out that they have recruited strong people in the Golden Body Realm. They are not afraid of being killed by you. Taoist Master, a fierce battle is coming."
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said: "It's good. I'm looking forward to it too."
He threw the scroll into the fire.
Bai Qi looked at his smile and couldn't help but tremble.
What state is he in?
I heard that the Nine Dynasties had joined forces and added the Golden Body Realm, but I was not afraid or nervous, and even a little eager to try it.
Could it be that he has reached a realm above the Golden Body Realm?
Bai Qi could not forget Jiang Changsheng's inquiry to Yu Yanyi. He was very concerned about whether Chaozong had warriors above the golden body level.
It began to mourn Tongwu Valley and Juxing Tower.
It’s not good to offend anyone, you have to offend the demon.
But from the perspective of the two dynasties, we can understand, how could such a person exist?
Bai Qi looked at Jiang Changsheng's profile and swore to himself that he must hug his thighs. This was a huge opportunity.
…
The armies of the Eight Dynasties gathered, tens of millions of troops, and the two dynasties!
Except for the battlefields of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the enemy troops in other battlefields began to retreat, leaving some troops to garrison, while the rest of the troops rushed to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
News spread wildly throughout the Dajing River and Mountains, causing fear among the people, restlessness among the soldiers, and turmoil in the martial arts world.
Complaints broke out in various places, claiming that the emperor was unkind and caused such a disaster for Da Jing. Jiang Ziyu had to shrink his troops and suppress the territory first to avoid a big trap.
In the Jinluan Palace.
At the beginning of the morning, a guard in white handed over a secret letter. After reading it, Jiang Ziyu's face instantly became ugly, and her eyes were filled with fire.
All civil and military officials have their own spies, and they know the situation on the front line without reading the letter. The atmosphere is extremely depressing.
Jiang Xiu was also allowed to go to court. Standing at the bottom of the right side of the steps, he looked at his father with worry.
Soon, another guard in white came to deliver the letter. Jiang Ziyu glanced at it and put it down.
Jiang Ziyu glanced at the ministers and said, "Are you afraid?"
Wen Wu lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
The elderly Chen Li stood up and said: "Chaozong joined forces with the dynasty, but deliberately spread the news. They obviously want to win without a fight, which shows that they are afraid of the big scene and are afraid of paying huge casualties. Now that they have gathered their troops, then we also If we gather together, the worst is possible, and if we meet on a narrow road, we may not be able to win!"
A minister couldn't help but mocked: "Why do we meet on such a narrow road? We have tens of millions of troops, and the two imperial sects have sent a large number of experts to fight head-on. Isn't it just a matter of rushing to death?"
His words were agreed by many people, who spoke one after another, mostly blaming the enemy and the generals, which almost made Chen Li angry to death.
Jiang Ziyu said expressionlessly: "The land of the Jin Dynasty began to rebel, and the Chen Dynasty royal family fled overnight and gathered troops in the north. In other words, Dajing was still facing the power of the Nine Dynasties, as well as rebellions from various places. "
He directly stated the current predicament, making the atmosphere in the court extremely depressed.
Jiang Ziyu stood up, looked after the ministers, and said in a cold voice: "Do you really think that I am at the end of my rope and that my destiny is over?"
The ministers did not dare to say a word, their attitude was already obvious.
It's not that they are disloyal, it's that the current situation is really hopeless.
Han Tianji broke the deadlock and said, "Your Majesty still has some tricks to come up with, so he may not be able to turn things around."
A young civil servant sarcastically said: "How to turn things around? Do you rely on your Ministry of Transport?"
As soon as this statement came out, other civil servants started mocking him.
The Ministry of Transport was newly established, and it was said to be to gather luck, but no results were seen for many years, and its salary was still very high, which made officials in the other six departments unhappy, and today they all exploded.
"presumptuous!"
Jiang Ziyu suddenly yelled angrily, and his power in the Tongtian realm shocked the court, causing the officials to ring in the ears and cover their ears in shock.
King Kong roars!
Jiang Ziyu glared at the ministers with murderous intent in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to rebel?"
The ministers knelt down and said in unison that they didn't dare. They were also aggrieved and frightened, and they had just behaved so uglyly.
"Who says His Majesty can't turn things around?"
A light and gentle voice came, causing everyone to turn around and see a figure coming through the clouds and flying into the Jinluan Palace. After the clouds dispersed, they landed on the ground.
This scene made everyone's eyes widen.
It was Jiang Changsheng!
Gouchen Tiangong's large feather robe exuded a faint light, making Jiang Changsheng as if he were an immortal, and all the officials were shocked.
What did they see?
Flying through the clouds?
How can it be!
What kind of light gong is this?
Jiang Changsheng said with a smile on his face: "I have the final say as to whether the Great Scenery is about to expire. Longqi Temple has not yet moved, how can you give up?"
The ministers were shocked, Jiang Ziyu smiled, and Han Tianji raised the corners of his mouth.
