Chapter 719 The twelfth lunar month 7
The Xingyun Pavilion suddenly became silent.
This is the emperor’s favorite purity!
No one dared to make noise here, let alone break into the door!
This is also the place where the emperor celebrates his 60th birthday tonight to host important officials!
Zhang Jingchu is an old man next to the emperor, and he is the eunuch in the Wu Kingdom’s imperial palace!
He is of high status and is highly trusted by the emperor.
There are many ups and downs he has seen in his life. At this age, he should never have done such reckless actions at this moment!
If it was an ordinary trivial matter, he would definitely wait until the emperor's birthday party was over, or even wait until one day when the emperor was in a very good mood before he would mention it.
But now, he actually broke into the door!
That must be a big deal!
But the Wu Kingdom has been peaceful for a long time, so how can a great thing happen?
Only three of them understood.
Xia Mo frowned in his frown, and he showed surprise, and could not see anything unusual at all.
Xia Liu heard his father talk about Wuya’s affairs at the mansion. He originally thought that his father had been hysterical. After all, for such a big thing, how could there be no news on Jishufang?
At this moment, when he saw Zhang Jingchu's panicked look, his heart suddenly stumbled. What his father said was probably true!
The other is General Gou Zhong!
He was originally looking forward to the great event that the emperor had decided on the Crown Princess!
As long as your daughter becomes the crown princess, then the loss of Wuya will be related to this matter... The emperor and the crown prince will definitely be furious, but for the sake of this royal relative, the son's life will definitely be worry-free.
As long as your son is not cut off his head, it will not be difficult for him to make a comeback after two or three years.
Although the son's affairs are also a big deal, in comparison, the fact that the daughter becomes the crown princess is the real big deal for the Gou Mansion!
The most difficult thing now is the level in front of you!
Jishufang will know about the matter that is inseparable immediately.
But Mo Wangchen did not tell the prince or the emperor about this matter immediately, but told him Gou Zhong!
It was late one night five days ago.
No one knew that he drank three pots of tea with Mo Wangchen in Jishu Room!
This is a huge bargaining chip.
Mo Wangchen used this news to sell it for a good price!
Mo Wangchen promised to hide this news until the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month before he would deliver it to the emperor.
But it is the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and I still have five days left... Could it be that I was wrong?
Gou Zhong also looked at Zhang Jingchu with a gloomy face.
Zhang Jingchu regretted the moment she broke into the door!
Reckless!
At this age, I didn't calm down. What should I do?
He stood at the door for three breaths, and these three breaths made his face return to normal.
He walked over, came to the front of Emperor Wu, bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, I am old. When I first entered the door, I fell down and hit the door. I was shocked by the emperor... I deserve to die!"
Emperor Wu frowned tightly between his eyebrows.
This old eunuch is a middle-level master of the first level. He has always been calm and can he be weak?
It is even more impossible to break through this door so nervously!
Obviously something big happened.
But what else can happen to the Wu Kingdom?
Emperor Wu pondered for ten breaths, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He picked up the teacup again and took a sip of the tea, "What kind of wind and rain have I never seen in my life?"
"There are all my ministers here. Even if something really happens, I need to discuss it with them."
"explain!"
“What exactly happened?”
Zhang Jingchu swallowed, "This... Emperor, why don't you invite the emperor to the study?"
Emperor Wu's heart skipped a beat, "Just say it here!"
Crown Prince Wu Qian was also very nervous at this time.
Of course, he didn't know about Xia Yuanzhou. His nervousness came from the intercourse between him and Concubine Shu!
Concubine Shu is his father’s concubine!
When you see him on weekdays, you have to call him a mother!
If this matter is exposed, it is the crime of sexual misconduct in the harem!
The father would definitely be furious. Execution of Concubine Shu was a trivial matter. Deposing the Eastern Palace, banning himself or even exiling him, this was a big matter!
This has been more than a year since I have always been cautious, and even the Jishu Room is difficult to detect. What is the problem?
Could it be that Yan'er betrayed her?
Just when Wu Qian was feeling uneasy.
Just as everyone was watching Zhang Jingchu nervously with breathing on their backs.
Zhang Jingchu bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, Wuyaguan... Some problems have occurred in Wuyaguan."
Gou Zhong's heart suddenly tightened, but Wu Qian's heart suddenly relaxed, and it took a moment to lift it up again.
Emperor Wu was still holding the teacup. He pondered for three breaths and took another sip. Zhang Jingchu's words fell lightly, but he knew that Wuyaguan must have been lost.
"oh……"
He put down the teacup and slowly stood up.
He walked a few steps in front of the tea table with his hands on his back, turned around, looked at Zhang Jingchu, and asked again:
"The Ning army will suffer great losses if it wants to capture Wuyaguan."
"I remember that the Red Flame Army only... was about 80,000."
"There are 80,000 defenders in Wuyaguan. It seems that Gou Kuo is still careless... Isn't there still 70,000 elite troops in Qichengzhai?"
"Gou Kuo led these 70,000 troops to attack Wuya Pass, how can the Chiyan Army still defend it?"
Zhang Jingchu lowered his head slightly, "This... Emperor, the Red Flame Army uses the magical object of fireworks!"
Emperor Wu was stunned, "When Xia Li guarded Wuya Pass, the Chiyan Army also attacked with fireworks. Didn't it mean that the fireworks could not be thrown on the wall?"
"Return to the emperor, the Red Flame Army has stopped for half a year. In the past six months, they have built another thing called a catapult... This thing can throw fireworks to a long distance!"
"Trailer? What is this?"
"Returning to the emperor, it is said that Li Chen'an invented it, it is a giant weapon thrown from a distance."
"Li Chen'an? Throwing from a distance... So, the casualties of the Red Flame Army were very small?"
"Returning to the emperor, the Red Flame Army was almost wounded. After losing Wuya Pass, General Gou also led the 70,000 cavalry from Qichengzhai to regain Wuya Pass, but..."
Emperor Wu's face turned dark, "It's just what?"
"It's just that General Gou was defeated again!"
"The Red Flame Army is so powerful?"
"Back to the emperor, it's not that the Red Flame Army is powerful, but that the fireworks and catapults are powerful!"
Emperor Wu had never seen fireworks or catapults, but he had already heard of the power of fireworks.
But I heard that it was heard that now this thing actually showed such powerful power, which forced Emperor Wu to re-examine how to deal with the fireworks in Ningguo.
He didn't think about this question at this moment, what he thought of was:
“…Shiya Wonju…”
Emperor Wu was suddenly shocked. Since Gou Kuo was defeated again, if the Red Flame Army rushed south, there would be no soldiers to defend the Yuanzhou general in such a large area!
General Ning Jun drove straight into Zhaohua City!
His voice suddenly increased by three points, and his speech speed also increased by three points: "The soldiers from Qichengzhai have all been killed? Did the Red Flame Army occupy Xiayuanzhou? What happened to Zhaohua City?"
Zhang Jingchu swallowed: "Back to the emperor, the Red Flame Army did not enter Xiayuanzhou, they still guard Wuya Pass."
"oh……"
Emperor Wu then breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the purpose of the Red Flame Army is to regain Wuya Pass, and it does not have the ability to invade Xia Yuanzhou again.
This is Ning Guo’s weak national strength!
I think Wen Zhuoyu is not willing to really make Ning Guo angry with Wu.
"Where is Gou Ku now?"
"Back to the emperor, General Gou is stationed in Zhaohua City!"
Emperor Wu pondered for three breaths and looked at Duke Xia. He was about to speak, but unexpectedly, a shout came from outside:
Chapter completed!
