After thinking silently for a while, as if considering his own words, Situ Yutang also became extremely serious, "Yes, my father's handling of letting you stay in the imperial capital to recuperate last year was indeed inappropriate, but you should also It is not easy to understand my father's psychology. He has worked hard for decades in his life. It is understandable that he is a little suspicious when he is older. Besides, can you say that your behavior in the northwest was not out of the ordinary? Without the stimulation of your out of the ordinary behavior, my father The emperor probably won’t listen to other people’s suggestions and let you stay in the capital! And he finally agreed to let you return to the northwest, so you still want to cling to this issue?”
Now that the other party had caught him, Situ Yutang simply opened up the matter and said, "My father single-handedly promoted you from a low-level officer to a powerful official in the frontier, even though his handling was a bit excessive. As a minister, couldn't you understand his feelings instead of holding a grudge? This is probably not the sign of a real man, right?"
Situ Yutang cleverly defused Wu Feng's counterattack by retreating, and Wu Feng had to admit that his fiancée was very good at eloquence. However, he didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, so he just put it to the question. Diao Ming: "Yutang, I don't want to say anything else. His Majesty the Emperor treats me well. I keep this in mind. I don't resent His Majesty. As for those who fan the flames, I will look for them if I have the chance." I’m just asking for advice. It’s just that His Majesty the Emperor is seriously ill at the moment. I heard that he doesn’t take care of the affairs of the government much anymore. He usually handles the affairs of the state with the ministers Ning He and the princes. I wonder if this is true?"
After hearing Wu Feng's question, Situ Yutang's face suddenly changed, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "Who did you listen to?"
"It doesn't matter who said it. The question is whether this situation is true. If His Majesty the Emperor is really so ill that he cannot even handle government affairs, I am very worried about how long the current seemingly stable situation in the empire can last. No. To put it politely, Yutang, none of your brothers are easy to use, and His Majesty the Emperor has not yet announced a successor to the throne. I am afraid you are aware of this. Once His Majesty the Emperor—, it is difficult to say what kind of ripples will occur in the imperial court. , I'm very anxious." Wu Feng said his thoughts word by word with a worried look on his face, but put the original topic aside.
Her heart trembled, as the other party's words almost touched upon Situ Yutang's vital point. They were thousands of miles apart, and she didn't know what the current situation in the court was like. Her father could not manage the affairs of the court, and her brothers were vying for power. The battle will soon begin, and this is the scene she is most worried about seeing.
With his face covered with frost, Situ Yutang's starry eyes were firmly fixed on Wu Feng's calm face: "What do you mean by these words now?"
"It's nothing interesting. I'm just thinking that the situation in the center of the empire is also very unstable at the moment. His Majesty the Emperor's physical condition is our biggest concern. Once something unexpected happens, I'm worried about whether there will be civil strife in the empire? And peace The rebel army has not made any other big moves yet, but the strength hidden behind it may be more than what it has exposed now. I personally think that it is not appropriate to take excessive military actions to stimulate the opponent for the time being. We should stabilize our position now and wait for the emperor. After His Majesty's health improves and stabilizes, it won't be too late to discuss a plan to deal with the Taiping Rebellion." Wu Feng shrugged, looking very casual.
"You mean to say that we are now going to let the Taiping rebels do whatever they want in the imperial territory, while we do nothing?" Although Situ Yutang's tone was counter-explanatory, his strong words could not hide the weakness of his tone.
"Hey, I think the Taiping rebels have been acting recklessly in the imperial territory for more than a day or two. From their roots more than ten years ago to their blatant development in various counties of the empire, I don't seem to have seen the governments at all levels of the empire. What measures should be taken? Besides, the Taiping Rebellion has become a climate now, which is far from what it used to be. The consequences of blind action will be disastrous. The Battle of Longdong is a lesson before us. So, Yutang, I hope you calm down. Analyze the current situation, don't let hatred blind your reason, everything needs to be considered in the long term." Wu Feng counterattacked a few words coldly, but when he saw the beauty's face change, he immediately softened his words and patiently persuaded other side.
Sighing softly, Situ Yutang suddenly felt that he was so tired. No matter how hard he tried, this guy seemed to have his own plans. Just like what he said when he evaluated him just now, he would not be influenced by anyone's opinion. Around. No matter how you state the stakes, this guy will always come up with a story that is so convincing that you can't find any loopholes in it.
However, the other party's words just now seemed to reveal a hint of information that made Situ Yutang feel slightly uneasy. Did his brothers really do anything strange while their father was ill? Situ Yutang felt his head swell when he thought of this problem. This was not impossible, but very likely to happen. Since the guy opposite said this, he must have received some information, and it was even very likely. It may be that one or several of his brothers have approached this guy with a lot of troops and asked for his help. Thinking of this, Situ Yutang couldn't help but shuddered. He seemed to have seen the embarrassing situation he would face in the future in the fight for the position of Dabao. Fighting between the same room seemed inevitable, and which side would his fiancée stand on
"Now that you have made up your mind, I don't want to waste any more words. The empire is already overwhelmed. I hope you will put the overall situation of the empire first and don't just focus on the interests of the people in your territory. Position yourself properly. You can do well. Think about it. In addition, I also want to remind you that the affairs of our Situ family are our royal family's own affairs. You are an outsider. I hope you will not get involved in the affairs of my incompetent brothers. This will be harmful to you and me. It's no good for the northwest as well." Situ Yutang's tone became colder and colder, and his formerly fluctuating eyes became much more indifferent.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Wu Feng sneered from the bottom of his heart. This Situ Yutang always regarded her position as a royal princess as more noble than anything else, as if she was just an inconspicuous outsider. She really valued herself too much. And the empire behind her thinks too highly. This world is a world where the strong survive. The air of being strong on the outside may scare outsiders, but for herself, it may only have the opposite effect.
Shaking his head slightly, Wu Feng sighed inwardly. He picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip carefully, as if he was savoring something, but his expression became more and more cheerful: "Yutang, don't worry, I, Li Wufeng, am a minister of the empire. Naturally, I will put the interests of the empire first." In the first place, of course, I hope to unify the interests of the empire and the interests of the northwest. Wouldn’t it be better if we could take into account both? As for your reminder, I will keep it in mind. Li Wufeng is not that ignorant. The affairs of the royal family are the affairs of the world. I am just a remote local official in the northwest, how dare I get involved in royal affairs? You can rest assured on this."
Staring at the other party deeply, as if looking into the depths of his heart, Situ Yutang stood up slowly and said: "Okay, with your words, I feel more at ease. I hope you will not forget your own promise. "
The tone of the two people seemed to have become lively at once, but their self-esteem kept them polite on the surface.
Looking at Pingting's graceful figure disappearing outside the door, Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh again. How could such a beautiful woman not work together? He also felt infinite regret in his heart. Empire, how long can the empire last
Looking at the tragic battle in front of him, even Jin Shaobin, the deputy commander of the Sanjiang Second Army who had been fighting for a long time, could not help but tremble slightly in his heart. The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides had entered a white-hot stage. Lin Yunfei, who was standing next to Jin Shaobin, had blue veins on his face. A pair of eyes were bloodshot, staring motionlessly right in front of the place where the sound of killing was loud.
Infantry phalanxes are preparing for the final assault. Ladders, siege vehicles, ramming towers, and movable archery towers are all arrayed in front of the formation. Due to the intense fighting and the tight time limit, many siege equipment have not even had time to arrive. After finishing, they were hurriedly transported to the front line. The logistics quartermasters were busy directing the heavy troops to arrange the necessary equipment for siege, and at the same time, they were shouting at the top of their lungs and yelling at the bewildered soldiers to quickly get into position. Manipulate the equipment so that you can assemble into an attack formation in the shortest time.
It was too hasty. I didn't expect the enemy's reinforcements to be so fast. In just a few days, the enemy's strength increased sharply by nearly 20,000 people. As a result, the Machihan garrison defending the captured Canton City quickly increased to Nearly 30,000 people. After receiving this news, Lin Yunfei no longer cared about the fact that the army was not ready yet, so he urged the two divisions that had just arrived to launch an attack immediately. The intensity of the attack was greatly reduced due to the lack of necessary siege weapons, and it was not tall and strong. The city walls were filled with Sanjiang soldiers, all of which made Lin Yunfei almost crazy.
While angrily scolding the officers who came to report the battle situation, and cursing the damn Machikhans, Lin Yunfei almost lost his mind. Although Jin Shaobin standing aside was also very nervous, his long-term combat experience kept him alive. wide awake. Looking at the chaotic situation, Jin Shaobin was already thinking about how effective such an attack would be. Apart from throwing away the lives of countless outstanding Sanjiang children in vain, there seemed to be no hope of success. Without the assistance of powerful siege weapons, the situation faced For the soldiers of Machi Khan who would rather die than retreat, he seemed to feel the shadow of failure approaching him step by step.
