The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

The Imperial City, the Golden Temple.

"There is something to play, nothing to retreat!" Liu Tian took a step forward and shouted at the top of his voice.

All the courtiers in the palace looked at each other, with strange lights shining in their eyes.

These days, the atmosphere in the court hall has been extremely weird. Although the surface is calm, there are waves surging in the dark.

They all know that once this calm appearance is broken, there will be stormy waves that will follow, and some people will be swallowed by this wave.

I just don't know when this appearance will be broken.

Seeing that no one answered, Liu Tian was about to announce his resignation, but at this moment, a guard came to report:
"Your Majesty, we have received urgent military information from the Liaodong Guard!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone's breath stopped, including Zhao Qi.

He concentrated, took a deep breath and said, "Read!"

The guard launched an urgent military situation and read:
"Gao Gouli's army invaded the country, and Lu Qiang led his army out of the city to meet the enemy, but unexpectedly they were encircled by the enemy."

hiss!
Hearing these words, all the civil and military officials in the palace gasped. Things really turned to the worst direction.

Zhao Qi stood up abruptly upon hearing this, and asked sharply:
"The Liaodong Guard has an army of 15. How many troops does Gao Gouli have to encircle the Liaodong Guard!"

The guard quickly replied: "Your Majesty, according to the military information, Gao Gouli dispatched an army of 45 people!"

Whoa!
The courtiers all exclaimed when they heard the words, there were so many people in Gao Gouli, so the Liaodong Guard was encircled, wouldn't it be a situation of heavy casualties?

Zhao Qi only felt his eyes go dark. He originally thought that even if the number of Liaodong Guards was not as high as Gao Gouli, the difference would not be much different. Even if they were defeated, Liaodong Guards could still retain some vitality.

But who would have thought that the other party had so many troops that they could be called the soldiers of the whole country.

In this way, how much vitality can the Liaodong Guard retain in the face of an enemy army several times its own?
"What's the result?" He forced himself to ask, but before he knew it, his voice was completely hoarse.

The guard shook his head: "On the military situation, it is only said that the two armies are at war, and the situation is not conducive to our side. Your Majesty, please deal with it as soon as possible."

Zhao Qi waved back the guards, and slumped back to the dragon chair. Although the result did not come out, anyone could have guessed that what happened next was nothing more than the defeat of the Liaodong Guard, and Gao Gouli's army broke through the border and went straight into the Han Dynasty. Just the hinterland.

Of course, he had already prepared for the worst, and frequently dispatched troops to establish a second line of defense in the rear.

However, after all, things happened in a hurry, and it will take time to implement it from the court to the local government. Whether this second line of defense can be established before Gao Gouli's army arrives is still unknown.

After the guards retreated, the Golden Luan Hall fell into a long silence.

But everyone knows that the superficial calm has been broken, and the next thing is when the stormy waves hit.

That person, I'm afraid he will be swallowed up.

After a long time, a voice sounded, but it finally broke the silence:
"The battle situation in Liaodong is related to the imperial court, the common people, and the country. There is no room for loss! Three days later, it will be an auspicious day. I have decided to open the altar and pray for blessings. May God bless me!"

Everyone looked at Zhao Qi in surprise. Although the follow-up military situation has not yet come, everyone knows that the Liaodong Guard's disastrous defeat is inevitable. Is there any point in offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings at this time?

Do you still want Jia Jue to show a "miracle"?

But no matter how mysterious the scene was, it couldn't compare to the fact that Liaodong Wei suffered a disastrous defeat.

This time, Jia Jue had no chance of turning over.

It is clear from the military situation that Lu Qiang led the army to fight.

The strength of the enemy and ourselves is very different, why did Lu Qiang go out of the city to fight?

The answer is clear to everyone.

"Your Majesty..." Someone stood up immediately, trying to advise Zhao Qi to give up his idea of ​​protecting Jia Jue.

But before he finished speaking, Zhao Qi waved his sleeve vigorously and shouted:
"There is no need to discuss this matter again! My intention has been decided!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up and left without looking back.

A group of courtiers looked at Zhao Qi's leaving back with different expressions, some worried, some sighed, and some gloated.

But whatever their stance, they know it.

Jia Jue, it's over.

……

The [-]-mile rush in Liaodong quickly spread throughout the entire Gyeonggi area under the spread of interested people.

Even though the people were mentally prepared, they were still shocked.

Lu Qiang really followed Jia Jue's advice and took the initiative to attack in the form of outnumbered enemies, but he fell into the encirclement of the enemy, and his entire army was wiped out right in front of his eyes!

All of a sudden, there was a lot of scolding.

Gao Gouli, Lu Qian, and Lu Qiang were all scolded all over the place.

Lu Qiang's stupidity made countless people gnash their teeth, and Lu Qian, who was the general of Liaodong, was dismissed as a waste. As the commander of Liaodong Wei, he made such a big mistake.

Naturally, Jia Jue was also indispensable, and he was scolded bloody, which was extremely miserable.

The so-called "deep love and deep responsibility", the people had high expectations for Jia Jue before, but now they are so disappointed.

In the hearts of many people, he is the pillar of the country, the pillar of the country, and the image of sages and sages, and even the image of immortals.

But the battle in Liaodong shattered his image. He who was originally high above fell directly from the clouds and fell heavily into the soil. All the glory and all the glory were completely shattered.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were killed and injured, thousands of miles of land was lost, and millions of people were reduced to slaves. How could this make the people not angry and not angry!

Under the instigation and leadership of someone with a heart, a large number of people surrounded Jia's mansion and shouted and cursed endlessly, and many people even threw rotten vegetables and rotten eggs at Jia's mansion, forcing Jia's mansion to close its doors tightly without anyone Dare to go out openly.

The people who originally had a relationship with Jia's house and talked about their friendship turned their backs one after another, never mentioning any relationship with Jia's house, and some even scolded them harder and more fiercely than ordinary people.

Those who were deeply involved with the Jia family also suffered disasters, even Jia Zheng was given a long vacation by his boss, and Jia Zheng was so angry that he directly hung up his seal and resigned.

Everything seemed to be developing against Jia Jue.

But this is not the end, but the beginning.

Everyone is waiting for the final result of the Battle of Liaodong. If they can accept it, they may give up on it. But if they can accept it, then this matter will definitely not end so easily.

In such an atmosphere, Zhao Qi once again began to worship the heavens and pray for blessings, but this time, he did not leave the imperial city, but chose to set up an altar in front of the gate of the imperial city.

He intends to let the people of the whole capital witness his sacrifice to heaven and pray for blessings together.

And this hit the hearts of the common people. These people have never been able to see Jia Jue, and praying to the heavens that he will definitely come. This time, they can scold him face to face.

Therefore, on the night before offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings, the venue was already surrounded by people, not only the common people, but also many people with ulterior motives, they were all waiting:

Let's see with my own eyes tomorrow what will happen to Jia Jue!
