Chapter eight hundred and fortieth because my surname is Li
Li Ye suppressed the anger in his heart and did not get angry at those backward officials.
He was sitting high on the dragon chair, and he had already seen something from the expressions of the old foxes who stood at the top.
Speaking as expected.
These old foxes should have guessed something from their uncle Liu Mingzhi's rebellious behavior without warning, and in 1989 they once again guessed the Fengyundu assassination.
I have already attacked my uncle once.
If we accept the advice of these backward officials and use Liu Zhi'an, the father-in-law of the third aunt Li Yan, to blackmail his uncle into retreating, I'm afraid there will be no way out at all.
What Li Ye thought was exactly what all the officials under the Longtai thought.
If Your Majesty really takes action against Liu Zhi'an, it's unclear whether he can succeed.
Just in terms of people's hearts, it has been completely defeated.
Your Majesty’s officials are not dissatisfied with those who are playing imperial tricks. After all, which emperor in the past dynasties has not played imperial tricks.
Let’s not go too far, let’s just say that Li Zheng, the first emperor of Ruizhong who had lived in Daxing for only a few years, could be said to be a master at playing with imperial power.
Differently, he received loyal assistance from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
It is natural for emperors to play imperial tricks.
But the emperor they did not want to assist was a ruthless monarch.
After all, what happens to others today may not be the fault of you and your descendants.
If Your Majesty really accepts the advice of these juniors, the officials will not say anything openly.
But when it comes to handling government affairs in the future, it’s unclear how much sincere effort will be made.
Nangong Ye noticed Li Ye's dark eyes from the officials behind him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that Li Ye would be confused for a moment and accept the advice of these officials to add fuel to the fire, and really capture Liu Zhi'an and threaten King Bingjian to retreat.
But other than this method, is there any other way to deal with King Bingjian’s rebellion? The fastest updated PC version::/
Is it a foregone conclusion that the capital will fall and the country will change hands?
“My dear friends, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?”
Right Prime Minister Wei Yong came out holding the imperial hut: "Your Majesty, if we can persuade King Bingjian to stop fighting and make peace, it would be the best outcome. But how can we persuade King Bingjian to stop fighting and make peace, and return to the court to rule the old ministers for a while?
I can't even think of a good way to deal with it.
Other than that, it is to delay the opportunity for King Bingjian to attack the city and wait for reinforcements from the northern border to arrive. There is really no other way to deal with the enemy.
Yongan Gong also said that when the military preparations and military strength are inferior, forceful resistance is not an option.
When the King of Shu rebelled, King Bingjian had already announced to the world that the tall and heavily defended walls of the capital were simply vulnerable to the artillery in his hands.
Now that the matter has come to this, the only option is to delay King Bingjian's opportunity to attack the city.
As long as King Bingjian does not attack the city immediately and waits for King Zhongwu Yunlao to arrive with his troops, the danger of the capital can be relieved.
One is to appease and the other is a delaying tactic.
I hope King Bingjian can give us this opportunity.
Otherwise, if the King of Pingjian disagrees and orders the three armies to launch an siege with thunderous force, then the capital city will
It’s dangerous!”
Wei Yong’s advice silenced Li Ye and some old foxes in the court.
The strategy of stopping the war and making peace is indeed the most appropriate method now.
But who should persuade King Bingjian to stop his troops and make peace? After all, King Bingjian’s message has not yet been sent to the city wall, and it is not yet known why King Bingjian raised his troops.
Whether it was because of Fengyundu's assassination or not, until Your Majesty was forced to clarify it, it was just speculation by himself and others.
How can we lobby if we don’t know the reason for raising troops?
Furthermore, that is.
A delaying strategy.
What other ways are there to slow down the troops now?
With King Bingjian’s vigorous and resolute behavior in the past, it is difficult to say whether he can give the imperial court a chance to slow down the attack.
For a time, the minds of the civil and military ministers in the Manchu Dynasty changed rapidly, and they were thinking about appropriate countermeasures.
But the more impatient I am, the less I have any thoughts.
“Report to your majesty that King Zhao entered the capital in a hanging basket and has arrived outside the palace gate to see your majesty.”
The Imperial Guards suddenly ran into the Qinzheng Hall, causing some waves in the quiet and eerie atmosphere above the court. Li Ye stood up suddenly and stared at the Imperial Guards inside the palace door with sharp eyes.
“Have King Zhao’s rebels entered the city?”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, only King Zhao entered the city in a hanging basket without any soldiers or horses behind him.
His Royal Highness King Zhao is waiting outside the palace gate to be summoned by His Majesty."
The confusion in Li Ye's eyes was self-evident. His eyes flickered and he pondered for a long time before slowly sitting on the dragon chair.
"pass!"
“Obey!”
The Forbidden Army Headquarters rushed out of the Qinzheng Hall, and Li Ye looked at Nangong Ye below, with a hint of inquiry hidden in his eyes.
Nangong Ye caught Li Ye's gaze, stroking his beautiful beard and silently shaking his head at Li Ye, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.
Why did he appear in the capital when he clearly asked his soldiers to keep him in the camp?
Did he resist forcefully?
It is not impossible.
Suddenly, Nangong Ye became even more nervous.
He was afraid that Li Tao and Liu Mingzhi would join forces to put pressure on the capital, and that he would enter the palace alone to force His Majesty to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his appointment.
Same as Nangong Ye.
The officials in the palace also started thinking with different thoughts. No one answered hastily. They were all thinking about the reason why King Zhao Li Tao came to the palace alone.
Within about one stick of incense, it was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop. In the brightly lit Qinzheng Hall, you could already hear two footsteps approaching far away.
Hundred officials turned their heads and looked towards the palace door.
Just in time to see Li Tao, who was following the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, walking towards the Qinzheng Palace in a hurry.
The imperial guards guarding the palace gate put their swords together and blocked Li Tao.
Li Tao glanced down at the imperial guards blocking him with a half-smile, then raised his eyes and looked straight at Li Ye who was sitting on the dragon chair in the Qinzheng Hall.
Li Ye narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Tao for a while, then said calmly and forcefully: "Step back!"
The imperial guards put away their weapons and retreated to both sides of the palace gate.
Li Tao stepped into the hall, his eyes fixed on his eldest brother Li Ye who was sitting on the dragon chair without moving at all.
“Brother, long time no see.”
Li Ye looked at Li Tao, who was standing next to Nangong Ye, and nodded with complicated eyes.
“Long time no see, but this way of meeting is too unsatisfactory.”
"There will be many opportunities between us in the future. I have already seen my uncle outside the city, and I also know that his purpose of raising troops to the capital is not to help my brother seize your throne, but to rebel himself."
Li Tao unabashedly told his rebellious behavior in front of Li Ye and the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty, as if he was not worried that his elder brother Li Ye would become angry and immediately sent him to death row.
“So why did you enter the palace?”
Li Tao turned his neck and looked around at the officials in the palace, and stopped at Nangong Ye who was standing aside.
“My younger brother has sent orders to the three armies to help my uncle resist his rebellion.”
Li Tao's words made all the officials in the palace murmur, and their surprised eyes all fell on Li Tao.
Li Ye also looked at Li Tao in surprise, and almost didn't react for a while.
“Why?”
“Because my brother’s name is Li Tao, and my surname is Li.
No matter how we fight or fight with each other, it is still our own business.
Even though I don’t agree with you, I can’t change the fact that we share the same blood.
This world’s surname is Li.
I can rebel, but if outsiders want to get involved in our family's business, how can I just turn a blind eye and ignore them?"
