After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

He simply didn't understand what was going on in these people's minds.

The situation is urgent, but they still have the leisure to quarrel and fight to the death in the hall.

The emperor pointed at Xie Shu and said, "Come on, my dear Lord Xie, tell me, should we keep the enemy out or should we defend the city?"

Xie Shu stepped out and said slowly, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report. The imperial edict has been issued. All the governors and generals at all levels in Hebei, Hedong, Jiannan, Lingnan, Longyou Road, and Guannei Road have led their troops to help."

He had seen through it all. At this critical juncture, no one would listen to what he said.

Why should you be the first to stick your head out and attract dislike?

Prince Ruyang wanted to usurp the throne. As his former ally, he thought he knew Prince Ruyang better than anyone else.

In the beginning, it was me who turned against him and drove Prince Ruyang out of the capital.

It's natural for the other party to hold a grudge against you.

However, Xie Shu does not think that everything is beyond negotiation. It all depends on whether the chips put forward are sufficient.

The century-old Xie family is his greatest reliance.

He's not in a hurry.

Even if Prince Ruyang really attacked, he would not be in a hurry.

At worst, he could just quit being the Grand Tutor, retreat behind the scenes, and wait for the right time to make another comeback.

The ups and downs of aristocratic families are common.

He never dreamed of eternal youth.

During the more than ten years that he was in power, the resources accumulated by the Xie family were far greater than those in the previous decades, which was enough to make ends meet.

As for my daughter, although she is a royal wife, the Fourth Prince is the blood of King Ruyang, so it is not difficult to save her life.

After thinking it through, Xie Shu was no longer anxious or angry.

Since he can accept the worst outcome calmly, why bother arguing with these stupid guys.

Xie Shu made it clear that he would not get involved, and the emperor was a little dumbfounded.

All the matters big and small in the court have always been decided by Lord Situ. How come he is unreliable at such a critical moment?

No matter how indifferent he is, he is the emperor after all.

Xie Shu's attitude made him very angry.

What about the troops from all over the country coming to support the emperor? Doesn't he know about it?!

Let him make the decision. What's the difference between him repeating these things and talking nonsense?

"Since Master Situ doesn't know, why don't you go home and look after your children!"

The emperor was angry and the hall fell silent.

Xie Shu had a blank expression on his face, no different from the clay Buddha statues in the temple. He did not react no matter what the emperor said.

Just go home, it’s best to demote him.

If Prince Ruyang really attacked the capital, his demoted status would be more advantageous.

The emperor covered his forehead with his hands in pain.

In this situation, he couldn't just ask "my dear ministers" again and watch them quarreling again, right?

None of the civil and military officials in the court can be trusted!

At this moment, Fan Shiming stepped out.

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Lord Fan, tell me how to defend against the enemy?"

"Your Majesty, there is no natural barrier after Anxing. Although I am not familiar with military affairs, I think that if you order the soldiers of the main camp to defend against the enemy outside the city, there will inevitably be huge casualties, and it will also make the soldiers feel discouraged."

He always felt that people who made such suggestions were extremely selfish.

For their own safety, they let the soldiers in the main camp die outside and fight the enemy with their flesh and blood, because they had no way to retreat.

In this way, they could delay the capture of the capital.

Delay until the troops from various places arrive to support the king, and delay until Prince Anle leads his troops back.

This suggestion should not exist, yet it still has the support of so many people.

absurd!

Have they forgotten that for the soldiers in the camp, if they want to save their lives, there is clearly another way to choose - surrender.

In fact, the emperor thought so too.

He is an emperor, but first and foremost he is a human being, and he can't understand what these people are thinking.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to agree, someone immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I object!"

Oppose?

The emperor turned this word over in his mind, and with anger rising, he blurted out: "I oppose you, you bastard!"

The hall fell completely silent.

Did the emperor swear?

No one could believe their ears.

Not to mention them, even the emperor himself was stunned: What did I say just now?

It took him a moment to come back to his senses.

Forget it, I’ve already scolded him, do I really need him to take it back?

You know what, it feels good to curse people.

Look, haven’t they all quieted down?

He brushed off his sleeves and turned back to sit on the dragon chair: "If you have no other opinions, just do as Fan Shiming said and do it immediately!"

The ministers were silent.

What other different opinions can there be?

The previous one was scolded, and this one might be beheaded.

Don't forget, he is the emperor.

Just because he has never lost his temper doesn’t mean he won’t do it, and just because he has never killed anyone doesn’t mean he won’t do it in the future.

The emperor has made the decision. Do you think your life is too long and want to oppose it?

After the court session, the emperor felt refreshed.

It turns out that as long as he loses his temper, it works.

Is it such a simple thing?

He walked towards Fengyang Palace excitedly, wanting to complain to Queen Xie about how her father was now only talking about irrelevant things and not putting in any effort.

Halfway through the walk, he remembered that at this time, Empress Xie should be training female soldiers in the inner training ground with his mother.

When his mother brought up the matter, he expressed his support.

Although I don't know if it will be of any use, but since it is what my mother wants to do, I'll just let her do it.

He turned a corner halfway and headed towards the inner training ground.

Before I got there, I heard the sound of fighting.

"What is this doing?"

The emperor was very surprised and asked the eunuch who accompanied him.

The chief eunuch replied respectfully: "At this hour, the two armies should be performing a military exercise."

"Oh?"

The emperor had naturally watched the military performance between the two armies, but he never expected that this word would appear in his harem one day.

Hmm, that's weird.

"Come on, let's go faster!"

He walked forward excitedly, completely ignoring the obvious worry on the eunuch's face.

Alas, even at this time, the emperor really doesn’t care.

Even if we allow the soldiers from the capital camp to enter the city, we still have to deploy defenses, set up camps, and many other things to do. I really don't know if we can make it in time.

Letting the rebels reach the capital is a great shame and humiliation!

If the late emperor knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would sit up from his coffin.

Otherwise, why would the Empress Dowager be allowed to train troops in the harem?

A similar thing has only happened once in thousands of years, and this is the second case.

I don’t know how future history books will record this.

The more wise the Empress Dowager is, the more incompetent the Emperor appears.

However, the eunuch was just thinking about all these things in his mind.

On the other hand, although the emperor is mediocre, he is a very good person. He is filial to his mother, respectful to the empress, and kind to his servants. He does not have any messy and extravagant hobbies.

He is not as good as others but better than some others, so he should be content.

As soon as the Empress Dowager appeared in the Emperor's field of vision, a eunuch came crawling over and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

His face was filled with panic, and he gasped: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
