Chapter 572: Thoughts

Pang Ban followed the eunuch into the palace gate quickly. He knew that the eunuch who was leading the way was the emperor's personal eunuch, so he asked, "What does the servant know?" The eunuch dared not answer Pang Ban's question, but he didn't dare Talking nonsense about the emperor's recent affairs, he can only answer: "It's an urgent matter."

Urgent?

Pang Ban probably understood after wandering around in his heart for a while. Nowadays, the things that can be called "urgent" at home and abroad can only be in the south.

Pang Ban had received an urgent report from the South early this morning. It was sent back by Shen Hao, the newly appointed chief inspector of the Southern Frontier Army, saying that there may be major changes outside the customs in the near future, and listed some signs. Now it seems that the urgent report is very likely to be unfortunate.

When he saw the emperor, the emperor waved his hand to stop his big gift, and threw a copper bar over.

"Look first."

Unfolding the copper bar and quickly reading it, Pang Ban thought to himself, "Sure enough".

But today is August 16th, and the battle report is the 10th day of the lunar new year, with an interval of 6 days, the reaction speed is indeed too slow. Can't help but think of Shen Hao who was transferred to the south, or that kid has the foresight and intelligence channels first, otherwise wouldn't he be as lagging behind as the army?

"Zuo Yuliang asked for orders. According to the rules, his family needs to keep an eye on it. You, Xuan Qingwei, will handle this matter. I ask that all members of the Zuo family be allowed to leave your sight, but it must not be obvious to the other party. To you, understand?" The emperor's tone was blunt.

"I understand."

"In addition, you also pay close attention to the family of the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Front Army. If there is any change, report it in time."

"The minister obeys the order."

There was silence for a long time, the emperor was speechless, Pang Ban knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, the room was silent.

After a long while, the emperor spoke again: "Once the soldiers from the south arrive, there will inevitably be changes in the imperial city. You...restrain your subordinates, don't meddle in what you shouldn't care about, and guard your duties."

"Remember, sir."

The emperor stared at Pang Ban who was kneeling in front of him for a few breaths, and then sighed and let him flatten, waving his hands, "Back down."

Pang Ban bowed and left, his hurried steps showed that he was also eager. There was an obvious delay in the news from the Ministry of War, which had a great impact on Xuan Qingwei's actions. He could only hurry up, and at the same time hoped that Zuo Yuliang and the commanders of the Sifang Army would not cause him any trouble at this juncture.

As soon as Pang Ban left, an eunuch came over with a bowl of decoction and handed it to the emperor. Yang Xiusheng also walked in with the eunuch, glanced at the bowl of soup and medicine several times, his eyes helpless.

"Why have you increased your dose recently?" Yang Xiusheng asked after holding back for a few days.

"No way, if you don't add it, the effect will not be maintained. And you should know the urgent report just now, right? The situation is going to be chaotic, I have to cheer up and be the emperor for the last period, otherwise I will be ashamed of my ancestors Liezong."

Compared with Yang Xiusheng's gloom, the emperor's performance is very free and easy. He has been trapped in this bad luck for decades, and no day is brisk and comfortable. The torment is like torture day after day. Death may seem to others. It was a "great terror", but it was a fundamental relief for the emperor.

It's just that the emperor must fulfill his final duties before he is freed, otherwise the huge empire may leave the root of cholera.

With Yang Xiusheng's cultivation base, even if he was not in the room before, he could clearly understand everything that was said in the room. In addition, he was once obsessed with these schemes, so he naturally knew what happened. He nodded and said, "What are you going to do? Settle inside first? Or fight outside first?"

"Hehe, why do we have to prioritize? Even with the support of Yang Yansi and others over the years, the mere barbarians have not done nothing for 40 years of population plunder. In addition to their incidents, the barbarians had no choice but to rise up in advance and prepare How full can it be?

In contrast, although the southern frontier army has gradually deteriorated over the years, the commander has always been a man who can fight, and the basic combat effectiveness can still be guaranteed. Now as long as Zuo Yuliang doesn't rush forward, and slowly uses the atmosphere of war to gradually train the soldiers in the rear, and press down to the south bit by bit, at most it will take a little longer, and the final victory will definitely belong to the Guochao. I am convinced of this. "

The emperor's eyes flashed with confidence. How could he not know the background of the empire after running this huge empire for decades? There has been no war for forty years, and a thick family fortune has accumulated in the empire. Just look at the most ordinary people who can eat a big meal of fat meat every three days, and you will know that so many people don't rely on grain to feed their meat.

There is enough food to feed the livestock, so it is time to know how well-off the Jingjiu Dynasty is now officially.

These things the emperor said to people for the first time. It was also the first time that Yang Xiusheng knew the emperor's true thoughts about Nanman. So he asked suspiciously, "So Zuo Yuliang was also appointed by you as the head of the frontier army?"

"Of course. Zuo Yuliang was in my pocket a long time ago, but few people know about it. He is capable and loyal enough. He has always calculated the situation of the barbarians, and now he is also considered in the court. The first-hand candidate to use troops against the Southern Barbarians. I am quite at ease."

"Then how do you settle down? You must know that once the soldiers from the south arrive, many things within the country may take advantage of the opportunity. How are you going to deal with it?"

The emperor smiled, and his eyes were even brighter. It seemed that he was not a dying person, but full of energy. Yang Xiusheng thought of a word: return to light. I can't help but feel sad.

"Uncle, you came to the throne through my father. Those things have been repeated in the history of the country. It seems bloody, but the facts have proved that this is the most effective and direct way to choose a Mingjun. The country is also in the This time after time of blood baptism continued.

Therefore, regardless of whether the east wind or west wind blows from the imperial city, I will just sit on the sidelines, and whoever can come to me will depend on their own ability. If you can't even deal with this small scene, you are not qualified to inherit the great rule. It's just a pity that in this generation, there is still no cultivation genius like my uncle, otherwise I would really have no regrets in my life. "

"You told Pang Ban not to move around, what if someone is daring?"

"Uncle is worried that they will attack the palace? Hehe, they don't have the guts or the ability. If Pang Ban doesn't move, the Fourth Front Army won't dare to move. If Fenghong Villa doesn't move, the surrounding sects won't dare to move. As long as these People don’t dare to move, and other people just let them play. I drew the venue for them.”

Yang Xiusheng shook his head, and after a long silence, he said: "You and your father are indeed very similar. You can see everything clearly, and you always calculate every aspect clearly before doing things. It's a pity."

The emperor drank the soup and medicine in the bowl in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Thousands of calculations, the wrong calculation is that you should not have taken the throne in the first place."
