There was darkness and silence in the study.

Outside the study, Ma Xiangdong, Wei Zelong, Lei Wei and others stood up with their heads down. For them, or the person in the study was furious, smashed everything in the house, or even killed a few people to vent their anger, they felt more at ease, but the deathly silence made them even more anxious.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Ma Xiangdong walked to the door and whispered.

With a thunder, a ray of light flashed in the house, and then a candlelight lit up inside the house.

"Come in!" Min Ruoying's voice was a little dull.

The three of them stepped into the house and looked up at Min Ruoying. They were all secretly shocked. The candlelight was in front and Min Ruoying was behind. Min Ruoying's flickering face looked even more gloomy and terrifying.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Dingling County and Beidaying were completely captured by Chen Zhihua's troops in the Ming army this evening." Wei Zelong knelt in front of Min Ruoying, his voice trembling.

Yangling, Dingling, Nandaying and Beidaying were lost, and the two arms that had poked out of Shangjing City had been cut off. Next, Shangjing City had to go into battle bare-handedly.

"Get up, it's been expected." Min Ruoying hissed, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter." General, tell me, how long can we stay in the capital?"

Wei Zelong, who had just stood up, was silent for a long time. He was not willing to say something fake in front of Min Ruoying. In fact, Min Ruoying was not confused and had a clear understanding of the strength of both the enemy and us now.

"Your Majesty, if the superiors and subordinates are united and the soldiers use their lives, they will be able to guard it."

"The whole country is united, and the soldiers use their lives?" Min Ruoying laughed: "Now, I'm afraid that people's hearts are floating, and they are all looking for a way out for themselves, right? Lei Wei, do you think so?"

Lei Wei thrust his chest: "Your Majesty, you can kill such a person. My sword has always been very sharp."

Min Ruoying laughed: "Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill all these two-minded people, kill well. Continue to look for, continue to catch, continue to kill, these people are holding the bowl of Da Chu, but now they are thinking about lifting the stove of Da Chu, so I will first ask for their heads and let them bury Da Chu with them."

"As for your order!" Lei Wei bowed.

Ma Xiangdong glanced at Lei Wei who was a little excited and frowned slightly. Now there was panic in the capital. There was no reason why this killer god started killing. But now in front of Min Ruoying, he was not willing to directly disobey the emperor's will. He has never been a person who is willing to make a fuss about his straightforward advice. After coming down, he would say to Lei Wei, and hope that the other party can restrain himself.

After a moment of silence in the room, Min Ruoying's gloomy voice sounded again: "Tell me, if Cheng Wuben is still alive now, he will guard the capital. Can this former Chu State's iron wall be guarded?"

Several people in the house felt a chill on their bodies. Can they answer this? Of course not, Cheng Wuben was killed by Min Ruoying himself. If Cheng Wuben is still alive, will Chu State fall to its current level? Do you need to be trapped in the capital like now?

They dare not say it.

He didn't seem to expect his ministers to answer this question. After saying this question, he immediately answered himself: "If he is still alive, or is attacking outside now, he will be the one who is the one who is in charge of Jiang Shangyan and Zeng Lin are now ministers of Mingren!"

This is a question of whether there are eggs or chickens first. Min Ruoying thinks so, but Ma Xiangdong, Wei Zelong and others don’t think so, but now this problem cannot be explained clearly.

Just besides, just be happy! The dead will not stand up to argue, or they will die soon. When they arrive in the Jiuyou Hell, if they can meet Cheng Wuben, they can debate this issue again.

"I'm ready to launch a counterattack." Min Ruoying looked at Wei Zelong and suddenly said.

Wei Zelong was startled, "Your Majesty, we have now broken two major defeats, and the generals have been lost. The Fire Phoenix Army has only more than 50,000 people left. This is our last trump card. We are already struggling to defend the capital. Without the Fire Phoenix Army to suppress the formation, the other troops are afraid of fighting will be worrying. Now there is no force to counterattack!"

Wei Zelong's meaning is very clear. If you counterattack, you must dispatch the Fire Phoenix Army to fight. If you send other troops, it can only give the Ming people a head. However, if you dispatch the Fire Phoenix Army, even if all 50,000 people are dispatched, you will have no advantage in the Ming people. Once there is another large-scale loss, you will probably not be able to defend the city in the future. Failure will come faster.

Min Ruoying once again laughed gloomy: "General Wei, I asked you how long you could stay. You didn't answer me directly. The inner meaning is that you have the same confidence to defend the capital, right?"

Wei Zelong pursed his lips and said nothing.

"I don't blame you, but I actually think so. We can't defend the capital anymore, and I have even lost my ancestor's tomb." Min Ruoying sighed: "Since I can't defend, I naturally have to take advantage of the time I have a breath to fight."

"Your Majesty, when we go out to fight, we will lose the advantage of the strong city wall." Ma Xiangdong whispered.

"Without a city or no city, isn't it a failure in the end?" Min Ruoying said coldly: "But sooner or later, I used to think that we could hold on for two or three years and could survive until Qi launched an attack on Ming. Unfortunately, we retreated from Jinzhou and in a few months, the Ming army was attacked at the Shangjing City."

The three of them were silent.

"Do you think I'm on a whim and give up?" Min Ruoying looked at the three dumb ministers and suddenly laughed.

"I don't know what your majesty mean?" Wei Zelong raised his head and asked carefully: "Where is the direction of the counterattack?"

"Yanglingyi!" Min Ruoying spit out three words.

Wei Zelong was stunned again. He originally thought that Min Ruoying wanted to launch a counterattack against Qin Feng's central army and fight to the death with Qin Feng. In fact, now the military force seems to be that Qin Feng's central army is the weakest after the battle in Xiangzhou, but he never expected that the direction of Min Ruoying's counterattack was Yanglingyi.

"Your Majesty, why is it Yangling?" Wei Zelong asked in confusion.

"Because my dear sister must be in Yanglingyi now!" Min Ruoying said coldly.

In an instant, the three people in the house were filled with storms.

"My sister is a filial person." Min Ruoying said coldly: "My mother has been in great service. She did not come to the funeral in person, nor did she keep a filial piety for her mother. Now that the Ming army has taken Yanglingyi, she will definitely stay. The mother's biggest wish during her lifetime was to meet her grandson and granddaughter whom she had never met before. During those years, the mother's letter sent to Mingguo has been expressing this wish. So, in Yanglingyi, in addition to my sister, there must be my nephew and niece. Hahaha!"

"Your Majesty wants to invite Princess Zhaohua, Prince Wu and Princess Wen back?" Wei Zelong asked in a trembling voice.

"Natural." Min Ruoying sneered, "I want to see if when the three of them appeared at the top of the capital, would the Ming army dare to shoot an arrow and throw a stone bullet at the capital? Is there any soldier who dare to take a step towards me at the capital?"

Lei Wei swallowed, "But Your Majesty, Princess Zhaohua has the cultivation of a master, Yanglingyi must be on high alert now. Who can go to Yanglingyi to invite Princess Zhaohua back?"

"I'm not ready to let you go. You go, it's just a death." Min Ruoying laughed: "The Great Chu has been in existence for more than a hundred years, and she still has some background. Wei Zelong, do you know why I launched a counterattack on Yanglingyi?"

Wei Zelong was greatly inspired: "Your Majesty, I understand that launching a large-scale attack on Yanglingyi will inevitably attract Yang Zhi's army to continue to enter the battlefield. Yanglingyi is located in the rear, and the defense will inevitably be weak at that time. At that time, if we have several top experts, we can sneak into Yanglingyi. Even if Princess Zhaohua has the cultivation of a master, Prince Wu and Princess Wen are still young. It can be said that as long as they appear in front of Princess Zhaohua, or don't even have to use a move, Princess Zhaohua will have to follow them back to the capital."

"So, in the next counterattack, Wei Zelong, I want you to devote all your efforts to attract more Ming troops, the better. Don't be afraid of sacrifice, because we no longer care about death. As long as we can get them back to the capital, no matter how many people die, it will make sense." Min Ruoying burst out laughing.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements immediately after I go down!" Wei Zelong nodded heavily. Although this matter is a bit shameful, it is a real trick to make the salted fish in Shangjing. Who in the world knows Qin Feng's favor for Min Ruoxi? As an emperor, he has not even accepted a concubine for more than ten years, let alone Prince Wu. He is the only heir of the Ming Empire so far. The weight they combined is enough to keep all the Ming people outside Shangjing.

Nowadays, Da Chu is no longer qualified to be shameless. Only this plan can succeed, so what's the harm?

The three ministers each had their own thoughts and left Min Ruoying's study. Min Ruoying sat quietly for a moment, patted her palms gently, and the wall on one side of the study slid silently to the side, revealing another spacious room inside, where three old men with white hair and beard were sitting upright.

Min Ruoying stood up, clasped her fists and bowed to the three of them: "Three, I'll have a hard time this time."

The three old men stood up and bowed slightly.
