The news about the front line battle ca too sudden. However, before this, the palace ministers were only arguing about trivial matters, when suddenly, a palace guard outside the imperial hall shouted: “Urgent news from 800 miles!”
Urgent news from 800 miles!
Upon hearing these words, the palace ministers imdiately shut their mouth. The atmosphere inside the imperial hall drastically changed. The palace minister’s looked at each other with a heavy face... ...
They all felt that this urgent news from the battlefield is bad.
“Co!” The emperor’s hand also shook.
The efficiency of the palace guard was extrely high. The emperor’s words just fell, but they already assisted the soldier who ca to deliver the news, to co in. The soldier kneels on the floor and handed the battle report with reddened eyes.
“Huangshang, Eminent Xu was assassinated and died in the camp. Our army was defeated, but the Northern Country didn’t stop at that. Our army lost three cities.”
“What?” With such a shocking report, several palace ministers couldn’t stop themselves from shouting: “Eminent Xu is dead?”
“Our army lost three cities?”
The emperor’s face beca pale in shock and quickly took the report to the eunuch’s hand. When he read the content, his facial expression beca more and more ugly. He grabbed the handrail on his dragon chair and yelled: “Northern Country, good, good, you are really good!” You actually used martial gods? This is simply shaless.
“Huangshang, please calm down.” When the palace ministers saw the emperor was very angry, they all hurriedly kneel on the floor.
“Calm down? How do you expect zhen to calm down in this state? Even with nearly millions of troops, they did not only fail to stop the Northern Country’s attack but also lost three cities. What is the use of raising this group of waste?” In this war, he spent a lot of money and effort to give them foods and weapons. Although he used this war for a personal matter, he also gives his full support, but in the end, they just lose.
“These are all this official’s fault, this official should die, please huangshang appease your anger.” The Minister of the Civil and Military Affairs and other related officials kneel down and said in unison.
“You all should really die.” The emperor was very angry. He really wanted to take a sword and cut all these useless general’s head.
The right faction knows that the emperor was in a bad mood, but things happened now. Getting angry will not help change the situation. Right Pri Minister You said with a grieving tone: “Huangshang, the front line was now in a tight spot, the commander in charge is dead. Our top priority is to choose another commander that will drive away the Northern Army.”
“Pri Minister You is right” Lin Xiang was unwilling to stay silent, he analyzed the situation and said: “The Northern Army took advantage of the panic state in our army, and captured three cities. We must stabilize our army and regain these cities from the North.”
There were two pri ministers who took the lead, so the other palace ministers followed suit. As soon he heard these words, the emperor’s anger disappeared, but... ...
“The commander in charge this ti shouldn’t be careless. Can anyone of you officials suggest one?” The commander in charge this ti must have inhumane strength. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to turn the wheel.
“How about we pick soone who’s already in the front line?” At this ti, they need to choose a commander in charge in a hurry, so it’s better to choose who’s already on the battlefield.
This proposal was good, but are the front line generals have this ability. Weren’t they all beaten after Eminent Xu died?
The emperor didn’t speak, he didn’t directly reject this proposal.
The palace ministers thought seriously and suggested a general one by one. The generals that co out from their mouth were veterans in leading the battle. Although they were not young, they were indeed strong, but the emperor was still not satisfied.
Lin Xiang has always been good at reading the emperor’s mind. Seeing his reaction, he understood that the situation in the front line must be complicated than they imagined: “Huangshang, are there martial gods in the Northern Army?” Lin Xiang casually find a way to explore the matter in the front line.
“The Northern Army is suspected of having martial gods in the army.” The emperor said with a black face. All the palace ministers were surprised: “Martial god? This, how is this possible? Aren’t Martial gods supposed to stay in the Martial God Mountain, regardless of what?”
“Martial Gods, our country’s martial gods are currently practicing. What should we do?”
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and other related officials one by one fell on the floor. As if the world will co to an end.
Now that there were Martial Gods in the Northern Army, surely they are stronger than them. They have no chance of winning.
“Didn’t the Central Empire prohibited martial god’s participation in ordinary people’s war? Is the Northern Country not afraid to be suppressed by the central empire?” Right Pri Minister You asked with a heavy face, but his eyes were brimming with dignity.
Only when this thing was ntion, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs regained his calm.
The emperor coldly said: “They’re not yet martial gods.” Just like Xiao Tianyao at this ti, he has the strength of a Martial God but extrely suppressing himself to break through.
Right Pri Minister You heavily sighed and said: “If that is the case, this old minister has a good candidate in mind.”
When this statent ca out, everyone beca silent.
They all know who is Right Pri Minister You was talking about, but... ...
The Emperor had a hard ti to get Xiao Wangye’s military power, will he allow Xiao Wangye to have this military power again?
Of course, the emperor doesn’t want to, but now that the country was at a great disadvantage. He can only rely on Xiao Tianyao to save the east and avoid being erased in the map, right?
If the country no longer exists, will he still have power?
“Who is it? Speak.” The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and pretended to be eager to hear suggestions.
When Right Pri Minister You heard this, he knew that the emperor had compromised, so he said: “It is Xiao Wangye, our East God of War. Aside from him, no one else could defeat the Northern Army.”
Right Pri Minister You understood the grievances of the emperor, but they have no other choice.
“You said it well, if the God of War, Xiao Wangye cos out, the Northern Army will shake in fear.” The Emperor said while gritting his teeth, but he has an exciting look in his face, as he said: “Soone co, sent out an imperial edict!”
When the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs heard this, he was speechless. He also felt weak and powerless.
They know the emperor was left with no other choice!
*
On the sa day, the imperial edict was sent to the Xiao Wangfu. The Emperor appointed Xiao Tianyao as the chief general of the National Defense Army. He ordered him together with 30,000 soldiers and horses to imdiately rushed to the front line.
Xiao Tianyao was expecting it but didn’t think that the emperor will react this fast. He expressionlessly accepted the imperial edict and said he knows.
“Wangye... ...” As the eunuch handed the imperial decree, he bluntly said: “The front line is in an urgent situation and can’t wait. The emperor hopes Xiao Wangye to send troops as soon as possible.”
Xiao Tianyao took over the imperial edict and looked at coldly the eunuch. However, he didn’t say anything, he just turned and went back inside.
The eunuch was stunned and stared at Xiao Tianyao’s departing figure: This, did he agree or not? How will I report back the emperor?
The eunuch was helpless, he looked at the Xiao Wangfu’s guards, hoping they could give him a clear answer, but... ...
After seeing Xiao Tianyao’s figure disappear, the Xiao Wangfu’s guards one by one left. They didn’t pay attention to the eunuch.
After Xiao Tianyao entered the front house, he threw the imperial edict to Housekeeper Cao and said: “Tell Wangfei to co and see... ...” Xiao Tianyao didn’t finish his words, he said: “Forget it, benwang will go directly.”
After turning around, Xiao Tianyao walked towards Lin Chujiu’s courtyard... ...
