Xuanyuan Jin finished speaking in a cold voice and walked away directly, leaving the ministers looking at each other in confusion.
"In that case..." After a long time, a minister with white eyebrows and beard sighed softly, walked out from the crowd, and spoke to the bewildered crowd at the scene, "Everyone, please go back and prepare quickly. You must follow etiquette at noon tomorrow.
Go to the altar to complete the enthronement ceremony!"
"But this is against the rules!" A minister nearby shouted out in displeasure and stamped his foot angrily, "Besides, the plague is rampant now, and the prince has also ordered that if no antidote is found at noon tomorrow, all the victims will be executed.
,us……"
They are all busy looking for an antidote, so how can they have time to prepare for the enthronement ceremony?
Executing so many people at once will definitely accumulate public resentment and cause turmoil! Shouldn't everything be done with national affairs first now?
"This is a last resort!" The veteran touched his silver-white beard, sighed softly, paused for a long time, and then slowly explained, "We are working so hard, it would be better if we found an antidote.
Can’t find it? We have to leave a way out for ourselves! When the prince ascends the throne, the new emperor will definitely grant amnesty to the world. When the time comes, we will beg the prince to pardon the victims..."
In this way, at least public resentment will not accumulate, and the Xuanyuan Dynasty can be temporarily saved.
"This..." The senior officials and ministers next to him hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded. They considered the importance of the matter with serious expressions, and finally confirmed the veteran's decision and agreed, "Everyone, please go back and prepare first!"
While the ministers of the Xuanyuan Dynasty were busy preparing for the enthronement all night, the palaces of neighboring countries were also brightly lit.
Due to the remote location between the two countries, the news of the spread of the epidemic in the Xuanyuan Dynasty was only reached by the monarch at this time, which made the monarch instantly furious. He called Yu Wenmo to the palace overnight and began to question him.
"Look at this!" He spread the secret letter sent back by the spies on the table, tapped the small words on it with his fingers, and motioned for Yu Wenmo to come over and look at it, "Take a good look at this time, I ask you, then
Where have you been for a while?"
Yu Wenmo's face darkened, and he went over to take a look. When he saw the time when the epidemic occurred, he couldn't help but feel a little cold. On the surface, he still maintained his usual indifference, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
He stood resolutely in front of the emperor, with a bit of tiredness on his handsome face. He didn't expect that he would rush back day and night. He wanted to escape something, but he still couldn't escape these layers of shackles——
Things about the Xuanyuan Dynasty would still come to him, making him involuntarily think of the woman who was still in the Xuanyuan Dynasty...
"I'm waiting for your answer!" Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, the emperor finally got angry and clapped his hands on the table. "When the epidemic happened, you were right next to them. Why didn't you take advantage of the chaos and attack them?"
The epidemic had just broken out at that time, so it was the best time to attack! In the name of saving the Xuanyuan Dynasty, we deliberately said that the people we killed were all the evil people who were controlled by the plague and lost their minds!
But it’s different now! In the past few days, the Xuanyuan Dynasty itself must have made a response. If they still go through with it now, it will be difficult to escape the suspicion that the dog is trying to catch the mouse.
What a great opportunity, just missed.
"The general didn't know at the time." Yu Wenmo replied in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, lowering his head, not wanting to explain more...
At that time, he just saw something strange about the mountains in neighboring countries being covered with withered yellow, and he also sent people to investigate. However, the person he sent to investigate did not come back, so he didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly...
However, he asked himself, if he had known about the epidemic there at that time, he would definitely not have attacked it!
Just because she is still there.
He has been on the battlefield for many years, and he knows better than anyone else what the war will bring to the people and the dynasty. Therefore, when he left Su Tong under the city wall, he silently swore in his heart: If she does not come back automatically in his lifetime,
, he will protect the Xuanyuan Dynasty forever, just to give her peace for the rest of her life!
"I don't know?" The emperor slapped the table angrily, his words even more harsh, "How can you be so careless in doing things? I have always believed in your judgment, so I handed over all the military power of the dynasty to you, and you will use this result
Come to repay me?"
After scolding Yu Wenmo in one breath, he stood there panting. Looking at the outstanding man in front of him, he felt a little sad in his heart - this Yu Wenmo was not his son, but he was better than his son!
Only because of the grudges of the previous generation, he owed his parents, so he devoted himself to cultivating Yu Wenmo, planning to hand over the imperial power to him when he abdicated in the future and repay the debt of the previous generation...
But what he needs to select is a perfect successor. Yu Wenmo was so confused in the war that he missed such a good opportunity! How can he trust the world to him with such a strategy?
The emperor glanced at Yu Wenmo several times hatefully, and was already thinking about how to find a new reason that could justifiably allow Yu Wenmo to send troops again, sweep across the Xuanyuan Dynasty, and swallow that piece of fat?
He also has selfish motives for doing all this - after all, if Yu Wenmo sends troops to conquer the Xuanyuan Dynasty, Yu Wenmo's prestige will be high, and the support of the people will be great! By then, he will not hand over the world to a "person with a different surname".
Opposed!
Of course, Yu Wenmo was not stupid. When the emperor was thinking about how to speak to him, he spoke first and took the initiative. He was not afraid of offending the emperor and sighed lightly: "I feel guilty for the emperor's trust, and I am not worthy of the emperor's general."
Such a profound military talisman is handed over to the last general."
"What do you mean?" he said. The emperor was stunned and looked at Yu Wenmo in front of him.
"The general is willing to bear all the blame for his carelessness!" He said firmly, and at the same time took out the tiger talisman from his arms and threw it on the table in front of the emperor without hesitation. "Please find someone else for this military talisman.
I’m sorry that it will be difficult for you to take on this important task!”
He knew what the emperor was thinking, but he would never agree.
A place where Su Tong is present is definitely not a place for him to use his troops.
"Presumptuous!" The emperor was angered by his attitude. He slapped the tiger talisman with a flat palm, and two deep blood marks instantly appeared on his palm. "Are you threatening me?"
