Chapter 550: The Holy Emperor's Heart! The Wind and Rain in the Capital!
Chapter 550
It seemed like a moment passed, and it seemed like countless long centuries passed. Just when Eunuch Gao thought he could not get the answer, a noble and majestic voice finally sounded in the hall.
"Southwest... it's not the time yet!"
"His Majesty!"
Hearing the Holy Emperor's voice, Eunuch Gao's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh:
"Is it because of that child..."
This sentence is shocking, if the civil and military ministers in the court are here, they must be shocked. Things in the southwest are at stake, but the Holy Emperor has not expressed his attitude for a long time. The heart of heaven is unpredictable, and there are all kinds of guesses in the court. However, no one thought that all this is related to a young man.
The hall was very quiet, without a single sound. Behind the layers of golden curtains, the figure as tall as the mountains and the sea, as high as the sky and the stars remained motionless, and no one knew what the lofty Tang emperor was thinking. Even Gao Lishi is the same.
Although he is familiar with many things, he does not understand everything.
"Everything has its destiny! Whether it is true or not, we will know soon..."
Behind the curtain, the Holy Emperor did not answer directly. But this rephrasing is obviously an admission.
"But Your Majesty, can five thousand troops really change the fate of the Southwest? Ge Luofeng and Daqin Ruozan are working together, and that's a coalition of more than 500,000 troops from Mengwu!"
Eunuch Gao's head was on the ground, he fell deeply on the ground, and said in pain.
After serving His Majesty for decades, Gao Lishi never thought that he would doubt the Holy Emperor. However, in the Southwest, hundreds of thousands of generals and nearly a million Liming people were involved! Wouldn't it be child's play if you put all your hopes on a young man who was alone and acted beyond his control?
The hall was very quiet, without a sound.
Gao Lishi was terrified and sweated coldly, even the palms of his hands were sweating. This was the first time he questioned the Holy Emperor, but as the chief eunuch and the emperor's retainer, he had to say some things.
"In this world, nothing is impossible. Have you forgotten how I got to the top?"
"ah!"
Gao Lishi's heart was shocked,
He raised his head abruptly.
Of course he knows how the current Holy Emperor ascended to the position of Ninth Five-Year Supreme. No one favored the original Holy Emperor at all, and even at the beginning, among the princes, no one cared about him at all. But in the end, the Holy Emperor roughly forged this brilliant and powerful Tang Dynasty by virtue of his great talents, and became an emperor admired by thousands of people.
Gao Lishi never thought that the Holy Emperor had such a high evaluation of the child, and he was on the same level as himself.
"Did I misread him? When the Southwest finds out, everything will be clear. Everything happens for a reason, Yuan Yi, you just need to know that there is a reason why I like him. That's enough. Now, step down Bar!"
In the last sentence, the supreme existence behind the curtain calls out the name of the layman of Gaolishi.
Everyone knows Gao Lishi, the father-in-law of Da Nei, but not many people know that this father-in-law's surname is not Gao but Feng, and Yuan Yi is his real name.
His Majesty would never call out his layman's name easily, but if he did, it would mean that the conversation was over.
"Yes, Your Majesty! The slave will leave!"
Gao Lishi did not dare to argue, and obediently withdrew.
Coming out of the main hall, standing in front of the long corridor with jade steps, Gao Lishi looked at the magnificent golden walls and row upon row of Ouchi Imperial Palace in front of him, feeling one after another in his heart. Although he has met His Majesty and received an answer, the doubts in Gao Lishi's heart have not diminished, but have become more intense.
"Southwest, Southwest... Alas, His Majesty's mind is becoming more and more unpredictable. Wang Yan, I hope your youngest son will not disappoint His Majesty!"
With this thought flashing in his mind, Gao Lishi quickly stepped down the jade steps and left the Tai Chi Hall.
He has more important things to do.
...
At the same time, when Gao Lishi left the Tai Chi Hall, no one knew that a bigger thing happened.
"Clatter!"
A sound of feathered wings came from the southwest direction. Facing the embers of the setting sun, no one noticed that two carrier pigeons flew over the southwest corner of the city, swept across the row upon row of roof ridges, and flew into the palace of the capital. among.
"What?! Lion City is broken!"
In the government office of the Ministry of War, a palm as strong and powerful as iron pliers, with veins protruding and fingers spreading, five palms that were stretched out slammed heavily on the table, shaking the entire metal table almost to the ground. It's all going to crack. For more than a month, this is undoubtedly the shocking news that everyone has received.
For a long time, the Lion City has been the last and greatest comfort in the hearts of everyone in the capital.
Although the Annan Protectorate's Mansion was defeated, the impregnable "Lion City" has taken in nearly 100,000 Annan Protectorate Army, which is the last barrier of the entire Southwest. As long as there are these Annan guards, the situation in the southwest will not develop to the worst.
There is still a glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.
But no one thought that the Lion City, which had placed countless hopes of everyone, would actually be broken.
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Could it be a misinformation? The lion is solid, didn't it mean that it was made of fine iron with inscriptions? The city wall is more than thirty feet high, how could it be easily broken? Besides, isn't there still Are there nearly 100,000 Annan Protectorate Army?"
The voice said sharply, and there was deep shock in the voice when he spoke, obviously unable to accept the result at all.
"My lord, this matter has been confirmed."
"Our people have infiltrated into the Southwest more than a month ago. They found out this news through their own investigation and confirmed it repeatedly. Moreover, they also captured an Annan Protectorate Army who got lost in the heavy rain and got separated. This is One point has been confirmed by him personally."
"It is said that the food in Lion City has long been exhausted. In order to prevent being trapped in the city by the Mongolian-Ukrainian coalition forces, Xianyu Da Duhu and General Wang Yan decided to abandon the city to break through. Now everyone has left there, and there is no one in Lion City. Blessed, and Daqin Ruozan, Huoshu Guizang, and all the Uzang cavalry are chasing after us, now all the Annan Guards are dead or alive, and everything depends on destiny!"
"Because this is a big matter, as soon as we got the news, we rushed eight hundred miles. We didn't dare to delay. More than 20 top dragon horses ran to death along the way! More than a dozen elite spies were exhausted. The pigeons we raised, giant eagles More than a dozen of them died, please adults decide!"
...
The spies who spoke were themselves pale.
Now the whole Tang Dynasty pays the most attention, and the one that attracts the most people is the Annan Protectorate Army in the southwest. Although other Protectorate's Mansions were also attacked, they were insignificant compared to Annan's Protectorate's Mansion. The Lion City was broken, and all Annan's guards fled with all their strength, and were completely hunted down by the Uzbek Tibetan cavalry. Just thinking about it is enough to make all Tang people pale in horror.
The strength of the Annan Protectorate Army alone cannot deal with the 500,000 Mengwu coalition army, and everyone has already known this. The ending of Annan's Guardian Army will definitely not be too good, but when all this is about to become a reality, no one can accept it.
From the moment they heard the news, everyone felt heavy in their hearts, like a boulder was pressing on their hearts, and it took endless effort to take a breath.
In the Art of War Yamen, there was a dead silence.
All the important members of the Ministry of War looked ashen and pale.
"Snapped!"
Suddenly there was the sound of a porcelain cup shattering, and everyone's hearts were moved, and they subconsciously followed the prestige. Seeing the direction of the gate, Zhangchou Jianqiong happened to step over the threshold with one foot, and a teacup in his hand was crushed into pieces by him.
At that moment, Zhangchou Jianqiong's face was ashen, extremely ugly.
"It's over! Southwest is about to fall!"
"One hundred and eighty thousand elites were destroyed, how could this happen?"
"Reinforcement! Reinforcement! Reinforcement! Send reinforcements while there is still a chance!"
"It's too late! Even if we send troops, it's already too late. Besides, where did the soldiers come from?"
"Is that all?"
"The catastrophe of Datang!"
"This is a disaster that has never happened in Middle-earth!"
...
The Art of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry..., the news from the southwest seemed to have wings, flying all over the palace and all the departments of the six ministries. Like a tsunami, the change in Lion City shook the entire court. Fear, uneasiness, anxiety... all kinds of emotions permeated the capital.
The atmosphere in the entire capital was dignified, and even the market was much quieter, less noisy than before.
...
"How is it possible? No, absolutely not!"
In the Wang's mansion, Wang Gen's uncle slammed his fist on the table, his chest heaved and his face was as white as paper.
Wang Yan, Wang Fu, Wang Chong!
The three most outstanding members of the Wang family in the military are all in the southwest of the empire. No one in the entire capital was more shocked and impacted than the Wang family!
