"Is your Yulin army? Did you fight Pan Meichen?" Yan Li's eyes were piercing. If the Yulin army is also defeated, then the situation is over.
Fortunately, in despair, God still gave him a glimmer of hope.
"When I learned that both the northern and southern armies had been defeated, the rebel army was in the limelight, and our army's morale was low, so we dared not go to fight him. I immediately ordered to retreat outside the north gate and guard the capital."
Lin Hai's brain is quite enlightened, otherwise, fighting Pan Meichen in this situation would be like hitting a stone with an egg.
"You have done a good job. If you can keep the strength of the Imperial Forest Army, we have hope of counterattack."
Lin Hai was a little confused: "Your Majesty, what should we do next? Pan Meichen will come to the north gate soon."
Yan Li stood up, took two steps in thought, and a bright light flashed across his cold eyes.
"It seems that she is the only one who can save our Dajing country from fire and water."
Mentioning this "she", Yan Li's eyebrows relaxed a little, and the corners of his mouth seemed to evoke a touch of happiness.
Even if Yan Li didn't explain, Lin Hai already knew who he was talking about.
"The emperor meant Empress Rong? Last time General Song and I asked her to lead troops, she politely refused. This time, will she agree to lead troops?"
"Yes!" Yan Li is very sure, he knows Rong Changan, she is a woman who lives for the common people, of course, she is also a woman with great personality, "She just wants to step down, I will go later Ask her to come out."
Yan Li was about to leave when Lin Hai suddenly pointed to the lacquered wooden box hanging under the sergeant's neck: "Your Majesty, General Song..."
Yan Li looked back at the lacquered wooden box with wet eyes. After watching for a while, the sergeant walked up to him. Yan Li reached out and touched the box, but he didn't open the box. He was afraid that seeing Song Qiang's current face, he would be unable to restrain his emotions and cry loudly.
"I will arrange to prepare a state funeral for General Song!" After a pause, he ordered the eunuch beside him, "Lin Hai, come with me to Shang's study!"
Lin Hai was a little stunned and at a loss: "This box..."
It is very unlucky to take Song Qiang's head into the Meridian Gate and to the Shang's study.
Yan Li said loudly: "General Song died for the country, and the ministers should show him something. Moreover, I also want the ministers to know what it means to serve the country and the people, after death!"
After speaking, she shed tears and left.
Lin Hai and those sergeants had no choice but to follow him into the Meridian Gate.
The ministers were talking a lot, when they suddenly saw Yan Li and Lin Hai coming in, they were shocked and fell silent.
Yan Li stepped up the nine jade steps with heavy steps, sat on the throne, leaning on the gold-covered armrest with his right hand, and looked at the ministers with piercing eyes.
"I want to announce some bad news to everyone..."
After only half a sentence, the ministers' eyes widened, shaking their heads and sighing.
"Our northern and southern armies were set up in an ambush by Pan Meichen and were almost wiped out. General Song also died in the battle."
"what… "
It seems that the ministers don't know what to say except the word "ah".
Things turned out to be worse than they expected!
After a long silence, Yan Li pointed at Lin Hai: "Commander Lin, please put General Song in front of everyone, so that everyone can look up to this national hero!"
Lin Hai only had one hand, but he seemed to be able to lift the lacquered wooden box with little effort. With a solemn expression and moist eyes, he walked up to the jade steps step by step. The eunuch brought out a jade case and put it in front of all the ministers, Lin Hai gently put the box on the case.
Yan Li's voice was choked with sobs: "Would you love to see General Song's majesty?"
Most of those ministers were civil servants, they didn't dare to watch the bloody scene, they all lowered their heads and said nothing. What they were thinking about most at the moment was, what would they do if the capital was breached by Pan Meichen? Instead of mourning and mourning for the martyred hero in front of him.
There was a fire in Yan Li's heart, but he didn't attack it, because the grief suppressed the anger. He glanced coldly and mockingly at the insensitive minister kneeling below.
"General Song died on the front line in order to defend the country and the people, shouldn't you kowtow three times for him?"
The ministers gathered around the box one after another, and there were three beeps. Seeing them kowtow, Yan's anger subsided a little.
"Give a seat to Commander Lin Hai!"
Lin Hai has already broken a hand, and he must be physically and mentally exhausted just after returning from the front line.
The eunuch arranged for someone to bring a grand master's chair, spread a tiger skin cushion on it, and asked Lin Hai to sit down.
"Now that the country is in crisis, and Pan Meichen will soon be approaching the city, do you have any good strategies to put down the chaos?"
The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, everyone knew what was going on. Even Song Qiang is not Pan Meichen's opponent, who else
Now that the northern and southern armies are almost completely wiped out, the Dajing Kingdom no longer has the capital to challenge Pan Meichen. For the present plan, the only way is to send an eloquent person to negotiate with Pan Meichen and make him give up attacking the capital. Of course, if he wants to give up attacking the capital, he must agree to the alliance under the city he made.
They knew that Yan Li would not sign such a cowardly and humiliating alliance under the city.
Yan Li slapped the armrest with his hand, and there was a bang, shaking the entire Shangshu room: "Do you have a good plan? Could it be that the country will support you for nothing?"
Under such circumstances, who dares to take the lead? It's a good shot. So all the ministers pursed their lips and dared not say anything.
Yan Li guessed it would be like this. He snorted coldly.
"Since you don't have a good plan, I have a way, which may save Dajing Kingdom from the fire and water. Do you want to listen?"
Yan Li's words were a little humble, and the ministers were very surprised.
"Your majesty is brilliant, talented, and talented. He is the proud son of heaven, the unparalleled master! We believe that your majesty can lead us out of the predicament." This is the consistent rhetoric of the flattering ministers.
Yan Li was naturally disgusted by these words!
"The person who brought you out of the predicament is not me, but someone else."
The ministers asked one after another: "Could it be that the emperor has a suitable general in mind? Who is he? What position does he hold?"
Yan Li's wet eyes were full of emotion: "She was originally a general protecting the country. She fought for the country many times and made many military exploits. This brand-new Dajing Kingdom Dynasty was also created by her. She has a kind heart, She is kind, dignified and virtuous. But you slander her for being bloodthirsty, slandering her as an unlucky woman, and preventing her from becoming a queen time and time again."
"Whenever there is a disaster in the country, it will be pushed on her. She has no status now, just a commoner, living peacefully in the deserted Fengming Palace. But I know that she has always been concerned about the affairs of the country and the people's lives in her heart." safety."
No need to guess, this person is Rong Changan who has been deposed.
