Princess Consort Is No Pushover

At this time, Su Ming stepped forward suddenly, looked at Emperor Hongyuan with a faint gaze, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a different opinion. Now Chu State is in danger from internal and external troubles, and only King Li can resist the coalition forces. If the Emperor Ordering the arrest of King Li may be counterproductive, and once he is eliminated, there will be no more capable people in Chu State, and the consequences may be disastrous."

"This..." Hearing Su Ming's words, Emperor Hongyuan froze for a moment, and the killing intent in his eyes disappeared instantly.

Yun Qing gave Su Ming a dark look, but he didn't expect this old fox to favor King Li at a critical moment.

How much he wanted to take this opportunity to kill Chu Xuanchen, so that he would have no worries.

Otherwise, he would be worried every day, for fear that Chu Xuanchen would come to take his life.

"Report—" At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from outside the imperial study.

Everyone immediately raised their heads and looked nervously at the entrance of the imperial study.

I saw a messenger soldier with dirty clothes and dusty clothes walking in anxiously holding a booklet.

As soon as Emperor Hongyuan saw the messenger soldier, his nerves tensed immediately, and a bad premonition overflowed in his heart.

"Report!" At this time, the messenger soldier shouted again, then walked in quickly and knelt down on one knee.

He presented the folder with both hands, and said with a trembling face: "Your Majesty, General Li Linwei has sent news that our Qizhou, Yongzhou and other places have been breached by the coalition forces, and now the coalition forces are advancing towards Shengjing City. How long, I am afraid that the coalition forces will attack Shengjing City."

"What? Why are they so fast?" Emperor Hongyuan's body softened and he almost fell to the ground in fright.

When Yun Qing and the others heard this, they also showed panicked expressions.

"Why did the coalition force break through so many places in such a short period of time? What about our soldiers? What about General Li? How are they doing?" Yun Qing asked tremblingly.

The soldier said: "Our soldiers were killed and wounded, and there were many mourners. General Li has been leading the army to resist, but we are short of food and grass, and the soldiers have no military pay, which leads to low morale and many soldiers flee; while the coalition forces are powerful and magnificent. I can't resist it. General Li is now resisting and retreating at the same time, and the 100,000 horses he brought with him died or escaped, and now there are only 20,000 left!"

"What?" At this moment, everyone was depressed.

This is too fast, too fast!

They thought that Li Linwei could hold on for a while longer, but they didn't expect that his troops were only 20,000 left. How could he fight the coalition forces like this?

At this time, Emperor Hongyuan suddenly held his head and asked anxiously, "What should I do? The coalition forces are about to invade, what should I do?"

"Yes, if the coalition forces invade Shengjing City, it will be too dangerous!"

At this time, Su Ming suddenly said: "Your Majesty, do you want Dong Changfeng and Chen Ping to lead the Xuance Army to fight, and then I will send someone to ask Li Wang. If there is Li Wang's Zhennan Army, plus Xuance Army , once these two armies unite, I believe we will definitely win the coalition."

Hearing this, Yun Qing hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty, you must not hand over the military power to Dong Changfeng. Once they get the military power, they will definitely cooperate with Li Wang. By then, Your Majesty, you will have no military power at all. Isn't it just Ren Chuxuanchen's decision?" ?”

King Yan was afraid that Chu Xuanchen would gain power, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, father, when all the military power is in Chu Xuanchen's hands, he will definitely rebel. What should you do then?"

"No, King Li is a bit arrogant, but he will definitely not rebel. He will only use military power to deal with the enemy, please rest assured, Your Majesty." Su Ming said.

"Master Su, why have you been speaking for Chu Xuanchen today? Is it because Su Qishao married the eldest princess that you are partial to Chu Xuanchen? Do you still remember that you are the emperor's man?" Yun Qing pointed angrily Su Ming.

King Yan remembered that Su Ming refused to help him at all last time, and he was very annoyed at Su Ming in his heart.

He also accused: "Master Su, do you see that Chu Xuanchen has become stronger now, and you want to favor him?"

Emperor Hongyuan also looked at Su Ming suspiciously, and examined, "Master Su, do you think I can't do it?"

That's why you want to switch to Chu Xuanchen?

Su Ming looked horrified, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't mean that, I just think about the overall situation. I dare to swear to the sky that I will be loyal to the emperor and have no second thoughts. I also ask the emperor not to listen to other people's provocations." Word."

"Okay, now is not the time to discuss these things, the enemy army is coming soon, you have to find a way to solve this crisis for me as soon as possible." Emperor Hongyuan said, pacing on the spot anxiously.

At this time, Yun Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we have no other choice now, but to send troops from all over the country to Beijing, let half of them guard Shengjing City, and half of them defend against the enemy."

Su Mingdao: "Lord Yun, the troops stationed everywhere have to guard the frontiers. If we transfer all the troops away and provoke the neighboring countries to invade, how can we resist? I'm afraid we will be attacked by the enemy from all directions, from southeast to northwest Others will take the opportunity to make trouble. In my opinion, it is better to hurry up and ask King Li for help."

Hearing this, Yun Qing had a sullen expression on his face, "Lord Su, did we not go to invite King Li? The emperor has already sent someone to invite him, but he did not obey the emperor's order and did not take the emperor seriously at all. Such a person does not come to help the emperor in times of crisis, do you think you can count on him to defeat the enemy?"

"Enough! He, Chu Xuanchen, is not willing to help, and I don't need him!" Emperor Hongyuan said, and ordered, "There are at least 200,000 troops stationed all over the country. Come, hurry up and adjust." Bing, I don't believe it, I can't defeat this villain Feng Lingtian!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yun Qing said hurriedly.

Su Ming lowered his eyes secretly. Emperor Hongyuan transferred all the garrisons stationed in various places at once. Once other countries attack at that time, the consequences may be disastrous.

But Emperor Hongyuan was so self-willed and didn't listen to him at all, so he had no choice but to shut up and see how the situation develops.

In this way, Emperor Hongyuan ordered troops from all over the country to be dispatched to Beijing.

He transferred 50,000 soldiers into the capital to defend him with Xuan Ce's army, while the other 150,000 troops were quickly sent to the battlefield to resist the coalition forces.

Emperor Hongyuan thought, he dispatched 150,000 troops to help Li Linwei at one time, and allocated the last few million taels of silver in the treasury to Yunqing to prepare food, grass and weapons.

With this group of soldiers, they will definitely be able to resist for a while.

In this way, the enemy will definitely not be able to get in for the time being.

But unexpectedly, more than ten days later, when Emperor Hongyuan was going to court, the messenger soldiers suddenly came to report that Li Linwei had lost again!

Hearing what the messenger said, Emperor Hongyuan and all the ministers couldn't believe it.

Emperor Hongyuan froze there, and said with a livid face, "What's the matter? I have already dispatched 150,000 troops to help Li Linwei, and asked people to prepare enough food and grass. Why did they lose?"

The messenger soldier knelt on the ground, glanced at Yun Qing next to him, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, because those grains and military equipment were tampered with! When the grains and grasses were delivered to the battlefield, General Li thought that there were finally supplies, but they When I opened the grain and grass, I saw that apart from some real grain, everything else was sand."
