"Your Majesty, swords have no eyes, and the battle in the city gate building is raging. If you go, there will be no good or bad. How can you ask your servants to live!" Xiong Jinshui said with a bitter face, and persuaded in a good voice: "Sacred Lord Can you spare the slave, the slave will come to inquire about the battle situation for you?"
"Fuck off!" Li Qitian was in a good mood, so he just kicked Xiong Jinshui because of being nagged.
Xiong Jinshui let out an "Ouch", staggered two steps before he stabilized his body and dared not say more, so he had to quickly follow Li Qitian's pace to arrange for the saint to leave the palace.
Now is the time when the war is raging. As the emperor, it is not a trivial matter to go out of the palace. No one can guarantee that there will be any tartars mixed in in the capital. If one accidentally makes the sage make another mistake, all of them can't afford to punish the nine clans.
The servants and guards went to prepare bitterly, and carefully prepared the carriage and horses with 120,000 spirits.
The team of Yu Nian and the guards left the palace gate and went all the way to the north gate.
Ji Zeyu was counting casualties and deploying defenses at this time, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard that the emperor was coming.
With his entourage, he strode down the tower and bowed to Li Qitian from a distance: "Your Highness."
"No gift, you've worked hard this time. How is the situation? Has the war eased after King Qin's team joined?"
Ji Zeyu nodded honestly: "It can be relieved, but these troops come from all over the world, and they practice in different ways on weekdays, and some soldiers can't even understand the normal Dazhou dialect, which is not easy to deploy. "
Li Qitian nodded understandingly: "Naturally, there is no way to do this. Fortunately, there are too many people. If the Tartars suddenly overwhelm the formation, we will not mess up our hands and feet because of the shortage of people. I'm used to it, but it's a pity that Longchong's army is trapped now, at least half of the casualties, I also know your mood, but you are really the king of a country, you always have to make a choice, and everyone will not be satisfied."
When Li Qitian said these words, Ji Zeyu just stood there with his head down and expressionless, as if he didn't hear it, and didn't care whether Li Qitian could meet his requirements.
Ji Zeyu always had this indifferent look, and Li Qitian was used to his reaction. Seeing that he didn't refute his meaning, he became more and more concerned.
"You have made great contributions to this battle, and I will definitely reward you heavily." Li Qitian's tone was extremely excited.
Ji Zeyu just said plainly: "I just do my duty. The Holy One really doesn't have to do this."
"Hey, you are dedicated to serving the country, I know it in my heart, but you are arrogant, but it doesn't mean that everyone is like this. There will always be those who make a name for themselves and slander me. En has not only refused to help, but has been dragging his feet."
Li Qitian put his hands behind him and walked slowly towards the city gate that had been opened halfway to clear the battlefield.
Ji Zeyu frowned slightly, then followed behind Li Qitian.
Li Qitian said solemnly: "You have also seen what Pang Zhixi has done these days. I have been really worried these days. Originally, the affairs of the court were complicated, and this Tartar was also very stubborn. I have to support so many people. When the army went to fight against the Tatars, they thought that the people of Dazhou would definitely lend a helping hand when they encountered such a national disaster. Those big families with food reserves would also lend a helping hand for the safety of their families.
"But why did I have bad karma, I didn't expect that Pang Zhixi would demolish my platform! Where do you think he got so much money to buy food from wealthy people? Isn't it still under the banner of me to swindle and deceive outside, and let those people willingly take it Bring money and food
"He has earned a good reputation, but because of his conspiracy, I can't raise food here. Watching the soldiers beat the Tartars with hunger, I feel really uncomfortable!"
Ji Zeyu's voice had no emotion at all, but simply stated the facts: "Sir, food and grass are indeed a big problem. People will starve to death if they don't eat. The dead can't compete with the Tartars."
Li Qitian's tone choked, a little embarrassed, but also a little helpless.
He said so much, in fact, he didn't want Ji Zeyu to talk about food, but anyone who is smart and knows how to get along with people, Wen Yin Zhiya, can understand that he doesn't want to talk about food at this time. But Ji Zeyu still said it.
Li Qitian didn't even know how to answer for a moment. Seeing that Ji Zeyu had been silently waiting for his answer, Li Qitian said: "I know, I will think about it."
Idea, Idea again, every time I mention these, Li Qitian will prevaricate with such words. But so far, the food in the army has not been improved. The reason why the soldiers were able to support it all depended on him taking the lead, rushing to the front like a flag. Fortunately, he still gained some reputation and gained some prestige in the army, otherwise how long could they last
Moreover, Li Qitian's distortion of Pang Xiao made Ji Zeyu almost unable to hold back his anger.
The sage arranged for Pang Xiao to go to disaster relief, but he did not give rice relief. Pang Xiao found a way to get money to save the lives of the people. Isn't this a reward? How could it be Pang Xiao's fault that Pang Xiao had the ability to get the money to buy food, and it was Pang Xiao's fault that he delayed the emperor from reaching out to the rich merchants to ask for food for nothing
In the past, Ji Zeyu once thought that Li Qitian was a wise man, because they fought together and experienced the cruelty of the battlefield together, and they also understood the preciousness of life and the significance of overthrowing the Northern Ji Kingdom to the people.
It's a pity that time has changed, and they rose up in order to stop the people from suffering, but now Li Qitian has forgotten it, and he has become the main culprit of the mutilation of the people.
Ji Zeyu shook his head, and after sending the emperor away, after thinking for a long time, he still wrote a letter to Pang Xiao.
When Pang Xiao received this letter, it was already early March.
At this time, the group was stationed in a quiet field, where the food they bought was stored everywhere, and some people who were willing to follow Pang Xiao were now patrolling near the food truck.
Pang Xiao ordered someone to arrange a rest for the person who delivered the letter for Ji Zeyu, and he read the letter carefully, then frowned slightly, and his face was thoughtful.
Qin Yining saw that Pang Xiao's brows were furrowed, so he put down the hot tea in his hand, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Did something happen in the capital?"
Pang Xiao hurriedly shook his head: "Nothing. It was a letter from Alan."
Qin Yining raised his eyebrows: "Dingbei Hou rarely writes to you, but this time it suddenly happened, there must be something wrong." After saying that, he tilted his head to look at him, his long hair fell so smoothly behind his back, and he looked like a whole person. more delicate.
Pang Xiao was defeated by her eyes, handed the letter to Qin Yining, and muttered in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you will become stupid when you are pregnant? Why is my sister Yi still so hard to fool."
Qin Yining was right beside him, so he heard this clearly, and glanced at him while reading the letter.
But after seeing the content clearly, she laughed sarcastically and lost the mind of joking.
"How much the sage hates you, and even said this to the Duke of Dingbei."
In the letter, Ji Zeyu reminded Pang Xiao that he must not return to Beijing this time. I am afraid that once he returns to Beijing, the sage will kill him desperately. Because the dissatisfaction and jealousy of the emperor has reached a very serious level.
"Without your talent and unwillingness to tolerate people, such a person would lose his life, and he could still be the emperor for so many years."
Pang Xiao was amused by Qin Yining's serious dislike of Li Qitian, and the depression in his heart disappeared for a while.
"Okay, what's there to be angry about? Since he was jealous of me, he couldn't trust me anymore. Everything I do is wrong. Besides, he is right in his suspicions, which proves that his brain is not too stupid. , Although I didn't want to dismantle him, it was the money I used for disaster relief. It's just a different position."
Qin Yining shook his head, "As an emperor, he can't control his greed, which will lead to tragedy. Maybe it's too late for him to reform himself now, but I don't think his appearance will ever change.
Pang Xiao indifferently spread his hands: "It doesn't matter, even if he is like this, what can he do when he is so nervous now?"
Qin Yining was also amused by Pang Xiao's appearance.
Yes, they are fully prepared, what Li Qitian wants to do depends on whether Pang Xiao agrees or not, but Qin Yining is still depressed for a while when he thinks of what Li Qitian has done.
She disliked Li Qitian more and more, and she also concluded that Li Qitian's death will not change, and the people will suffer in the future. The idea of overthrowing Li Qitian gradually took shape and became correct.
Pang Xiao went to write a reply letter to Ji Zeyu, although the person who sent the letter was Ji Zeyu's henchman, but it was not Pang Xiao's.
Pang Xiao feared that the letter would be seen by those who were interested, so his reply was only a few words, and it did not involve the current situation in the court at all.
And Ji Zeyu gradually lost patience here.
There was not enough food and grass, and all the soldiers were starving. Li Qitian waited for his eyes to come up with a solution, and even shyly asked Qin Wang Dajun to prepare his own hatchback, so he was about to write an IOU to borrow it.
Ji Zeyu has led troops all year round, and his analysis of the war is too thorough, and a series of judgments can be made with a few clues. If Pang Xiao is willing to join, he will definitely find a way to protect Pang Xiao and keep Da Zhou in a quiet environment. But Pang Xiao was blocked by Li Qitian, and even King Qin never thought of letting Pang Xiao come. If he talks too much, he will only offend the emperor. Once Pang Xiao is targeted in the future, if he loses his Sacred Heart and loses his advantage, I am afraid that he will think about it at that time. It is impossible to say a word to Pang Xiao.
At this time, Pang Xiao had already walked 60% of the way. The people who were willing to follow Pang Xiao along the way were beyond Qin Yining's expectations. Pang Xiao ordered people to make a roster to easily mark everyone's age and family situation. Qin Yining's morning sickness was getting worse and worse, even eating some gruel would make her feel sick.
Bingtang took care of Qin Yining, while Mu Jinghu stayed by Pang Xiao's side all day, lest he be scheming and unintentional.
At this moment, Tang Xiu quickly walked back and forth: "My lord, there is a girl surnamed Qiu outside asking to see you."
