Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

"Master Gu! Master Gu?"

The voices around him gradually increased, and it finally brought Gu Fan back from his trance, and when he looked up, there were several pairs of eyes looking at him.

The leader is none other than the elder of the four dynasties, Prime Minister Zhang.

In addition to the prime minister, all the ministers from the three provinces and six departments who were able to enter the Yushutai were present. Since the emperor delegated power to build an Yushutai, these important officials in the court are busy now.

"what?"

"What do you think of the urgent military situation that General Huo ordered to be sent back from the front line just now?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War quickly reminded them that they all saw that Gu Fan had just lost his mind. Although he was puzzled and curious, the way of being an official could not easily offend his colleagues, especially the celebrities in front of the emperor with a deep background.

Coincidentally, Gu Fan is now in full swing in the imperial court, and at a young age, he is a high-ranking official worshiping the third grade, and he is still a celebrity in front of the emperor.

"I'm not talented enough, so I'll follow the advice of the prime minister and your lords."

Gu Fan was a little embarrassed. Ever since he entered the palace to face the saint in the early morning, his state has been in a wrong state.

The mother who lived with him and raised him up through all kinds of hardships turned out to be a witch born in a demon sect?
Now he has become a land god who has been regarded as a god by countless people for hundreds of years?

Even His Majesty is a land god?
The real fairy couple?
All of this was a strong shock to him, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, it felt weird anyway.

That's why he was distracted, and even the few ministers at Yushutai discussing important government affairs every day, they were all out of their minds.

At this moment, he hastily covered up his embarrassment, and humbly and respectfully evaded a few words, but the other ministers present were not embarrassed, and they were not surprised to hear this.

"Master Zhang, the rebel Guo Peng is now threatening the people of the whole city. If General Huo really retreats, it may damage the face of the dynasty and His Majesty!"

The Minister of the Ministry of War frowned and pondered, and even slapped the table angrily.

"That's right! This bastard must know that His Majesty loves the people like a son, so he uses such despicable and shameless methods. This kind of person can't be angry with the people if he doesn't die!"

Another minister was furious, but obviously a group of people didn't know how to deal with it.

They all looked at the old prime minister. After all, he has been an official for decades and has always been resourceful. Seeing everyone looking at him, the prime minister stroked his gray beard as if considering the pros and cons.

"Zhang Xiang, you can give me a word, how should we play on His Majesty's side?"

"That's right, once the troops are withdrawn, the other Jiedu envoys may have different intentions if word spreads!"

Gu Fan also restrained his mind, took the urgent military information, and read it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he frowned. According to the military information sent back, since Huo Wei led the army to fight the rebellion, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha along the way. , There is no opponent for God to block and kill God.

Even if the strength is only 5, the rebel Guo Peng claims to have an army of 5, but after several fights, he was completely defeated. After losing [-] troops, he retreated directly to his last lair and closed the city gates!

The problem now is that there are still 10,000+ people in Guo Peng's last old nest city. Now that a large imperial army is about to attack the city, he drags the whole city people to be buried with him and burns the whole city.

I want to use this to threaten the court to retreat!
"Prime Minister, according to your officials, His Majesty's benevolence and righteousness will never sit back and watch 10,000+ people be buried with Guo Peng. If this military information is sent to His Majesty, His Majesty will most likely order to withdraw troops."

Gu Fan thought for a while, and then expressed his thoughts based on his understanding of Li Changshou.

"The old man is also worried about His Majesty's kindness, but he must not retreat!"

The prime minister nodded, but his attitude was very firm. "Nowadays, the Jiedu envoys from all over the world are abusing and violating the imperial court. We must use Guo Peng as an example to scare the monkeys! Deter the Jiedu envoys from all sides!"

To put it bluntly, it is Liwei!

Behind the decades of prosperity of the Dagan Dynasty, in fact, all parties have made great efforts to deal with it. If it is not handled well, it will be a time bomb if it is not dealt with.

Guo Peng is not the first, nor will he be the last.

Today there is Guo Peng, even if he is defeated and killed in the end, there will definitely be Zhang Peng, Zhao Peng, Wang Peng and other ambitious military governors who will emerge in the future.

So this time, we can't deter and establish our prestige all at once, and completely establish the prestige and imperial power of the Daqian Dynasty. It will be extremely difficult in the future.

"Then how do we play to His Majesty?"

Siege the city, not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, the 10,000+ people in the city will suffer.

If the troops are withdrawn, it will be a joke for the new king to ascend the throne and establish his prestige this time, and it will also plant hidden dangers for the future.

Almost all the ministers in the court now support Li Changshou, the new emperor, as if there is a voice in their ears admonishing and exhorting them to stand on the same boat as Li Changshou.

"Let's tell His Majesty the truth, and I believe His Majesty will be able to think of a good way to get the best of both worlds."

The old Prime Minister Zhang lost his mind for a while. This kind of dilemma, it is difficult for anyone in the past dynasties to give a perfect answer. It's not that he can't think of it, but some methods are not very effective, and they will hit the court and the emperor. face.

"Zhang Xiang, what do you think if His Majesty is allowed to face Guo Peng's peace and promise to pardon him for his capital crime?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments proposed, but Gu Fan interrupted directly, "It is absolutely impossible, Guo Peng must not stay. Now the world knows that Guo Peng committed a heinous death crime, even if His Majesty is kind, how will those Jiedu envoys treat it in the future?"

As soon as this remark came out, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment also shut his mouth.

He thought about it and it was true, Guo Peng had an affair with the late emperor and empress and gave birth to the evil species, and he wanted to help the evil species to rebel and usurp the throne.

Now after escaping from the capital, he raised his troops to rebel again, and every one of them was a capital crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan.

This can be pardoned, doesn't it make people feel that the emperor is too kind, so kind to the point of being merciful?

In the future, those Jiedu envoys will raise their troops to rebel casually, even if the army is defeated, they will learn from Guo Peng, guarding the city and dragging the people in the city to be buried with them to make conditions?

"Master Gu, according to your opinion, will His Majesty choose to retreat?"

The prime minister frowned. On the one hand, there were 10,000+ people, and on the other hand, the foundation of the imperial court. It was a dilemma.

Gu Fan didn't answer directly, but pondered for a while, and finally said hesitantly, "It's hard to say..."

"Hey, Mr. Gu, what time is it now? You can speak up in front of His Majesty, and you understand His Majesty's character, so you can give us a clue!"

Minister of the Ministry of War couldn't help but smile wryly. Speaking of which, he was still Gu Shilang's protégé at the beginning. Now that he has been looking at the grandson of his teacher for more than 20 years, he feels a little embarrassed.

"Well, according to what I know about His Majesty, His Majesty will never ignore 10,000+ people, but he will also not let General Huo retreat!"

Gu Fan spoke out his own judgment, but the prime minister and others were extremely puzzled.

Isn't this a contradiction?

He didn't hide anything, but continued to smile wryly, "My lords don't have to look at me that way. Your Majesty loves the people like a son but hates evil like a hater. If he knows about this, the only possibility..."

"possibility?"

"Your Majesty will go there personally and find a way to kill Guo Peng!"

Gu Fan said every word. Before he knew that Li Changshou's martial arts were superb. Although he didn't like to do it himself, it didn't mean he couldn't do it. Now that he knew that Li Changshou and his mother had both become gods on land, how could Guo Peng, a clown like Guo Peng, still do it? need trouble?
The only thing is that as an emperor, it is a taboo to risk yourself!

But the king of a country in the realm of land gods has never been heard of throughout the ages!

"what?!"

In Yushitai, a group of court officials were dumbfounded.

……

Everything was as Gu Fan judged.

After Li Changshou learned of the matter, he almost didn't hesitate, and just let out a cold snort.

"I know about this matter, and pass on my order to let General Huo stand still for the time being, and wait for me to deal with it personally!"

Yes, Li Changshou doesn't like to do it himself, but it doesn't mean he really doesn't do it.

And some things were planned by him. Of course, it was not his intention for Guo Peng to blackmail the people of the whole city as bargaining chips. It can only be said that a sinister villain like Guo Peng is really shameless.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! You are the king of a country, how can you take risks yourself!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

The prime minister and the commander of the forbidden army, Zuo Zhixiong, all dissuaded him. In fact, even Gu Fan felt that it was inappropriate for the king of a country to take action himself, but when he thought of the land gods...

"I will not give up 10,000+ people. As the emperor of the Dagan Dynasty, the people and people in the world are all my people and relatives. How can I just sit idly by? This matter has been decided, so don't talk about it again! "

Li Changshou made a decision directly, and couldn't help but say, "Prime Minister."

"The old minister is here!"

"I will leave tonight, but only a few of you know about it, and you must not let outsiders know about it."

Hearing that Li Changshou was going tonight, the prime minister wanted to dissuade him, but the next moment!
Several people felt a sense of suffocation covering their hearts, as if a mountain was pressing on them, but Li Changshou no longer concealed it, and slightly revealed about [-]% of the pressure of the breath.

It's just breathless.

Even civil servants actually practice martial arts more or less, but they are not that proficient.

But Zuo Zhixiong, Gu Fan and other warriors were different, they all showed expressions of astonishment.

"I have God's blessing, no mortal can hurt me, and I will leave with the imperial concubine during this trip, she will protect me, my dear friends, don't worry."

Any explanation is without breath coercion, and the prime minister and others don't know how to describe it.

They didn't even know that Li Changshou turned out to be a top expert!
"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of the imperial concubine protecting His Majesty?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War was puzzled, but Gu Fan sighed at the side, and could only explain, "Prime Minister, Mother... Your Majesty, she is a land fairy, and she is enough to protect His Majesty comprehensively!"

All the ministers in the court knew what the land gods were, especially the day when Guo Peng broke into the palace and saw the power of the Dagan patron saint with his own eyes, but they didn't expect that the newly-canonized concubine, the former servant of the Ministry of War The daughter is actually a land god?
"Okay, the less people who know about this matter, the better. I hope to solve it as soon as possible and hurry back. I don't want to miss the date when the Queen and Concubine Shu give birth."

Li Changshou waved his hand, "During the time I'm away, the government affairs will be handled by the Prime Minister and Yushutai."

"The old minister obeys the order."

The prime minister hastily agreed.

"Gu Fan, Zuo Zhixiong, Tong Wuqi!"

"Chen is here!"

"The safety of the palace and the capital will be left to the three of you!"

Li Changshou is naturally nepotism.

When the three of them heard the words, they immediately received the order, "No!"

"I believe that the love ministers will be able to maintain the operation of the court, and I will rush back as soon as possible!"
