The decision to face the war was made at this court meeting, and relevant war deployments and arrangements were also made at the court meeting. Zhou Yu only needed to make a decision and give specific instructions, and the entire court would quickly move under the leadership of the cabinet.

Get it up and running and arrange everything properly.

No one will hold back this time. The city gate has been sealed by Zhou Yu's order. Even if they are to ensure the safety of their own children, the ministers in the court will definitely not dare to do anything that holds them back at this time, let alone return blood today.

He was killed on the spot to scare the monkeys.

But when Zhou Yu left Fengtian Hall, Yu Qian and the two Shangshu Pavilion elders hurriedly chased after him.

"King Yin, Wang Yin, please wait."

After all, Yu Qian was the youngest among them and had the fastest pace. He was the first to catch up with Zhou Yu and shouted. Without panting or weak legs, he saluted Zhou Yu: "King Yin, I still have something I want to discuss with King Yin.

"

Zhou Yu glanced at Yu Qian and then at the two old men who were following him: "Okay, I'm about to go to see the Queen Mother. I'm going to say that after meeting the Queen Mother, you also have to give the Queen Mother a good word.

Let’s first let the young and old in the palace move south.”

"I know." Yu Qian was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and agreed. Yu Qian followed Zhou Yu and said, "It's just King Xi. It's not a good thing for either the Empress Dowager or the Empress Dowager to take the young children in the palace and move south. This

It will have a huge impact on military morale."

The two pavilion elders looked at each other, shook their heads slightly and said nothing.

Zhou Yu shook his head: "At least let the Empress Dowager Sun take your Majesty's eldest son away quietly. If the capital is really attacked..."

Yu Qian said solemnly: "Your Highness, I will never let this happen. I will defend the capital to the death."

Zhou Yu nodded: "That's good. All you need to do is let the Queen Mother know when the time comes. I believe that the Queen Mother will make the right decision."

Yu Qian frowned slightly: "What about the Queen Mother?"

"Don't you know that the Queen Mother was grounded by the Queen Mother for self-reflection?" Zhou Yu's expression remained unchanged and he said deliberately: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has continued to interfere in the government affairs, and has concealed military information without authorization, which has led to today's disaster, and it also involves some

According to secret rumors, it is not appropriate for the Empress Dowager Sun to continue to step up and control the court at this time, not to mention that with this king supervising the country and the Empress Dowager acting as the Dinghai Shenzhen, Yu Shangshu, what else do you have to worry about?"

Yu Qian shook his head: "I don't dare."

Zhou Yu said: "Why are you looking for me?"

Yu Qian stopped and bent towards Zhou Yu again: "I ask King Yin not to go on the expedition in person. Now the situation is complicated, Wa La is coming menacingly, and the battlefield is chaotic. Your Majesty has been covered in dust. As the supervisor of the country, King Yin must not let anything happen again."

Zhou Yu waved his hand gently: "I have already said at the court meeting that I will go out in armor and go to war. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If the order is changed from morning to night, how can I have the face to serve as a supervisor? If I hide behind Jiuquan because I am afraid of weapons, I will not do it.

I have no face to meet my ancestors, so this matter has been decided."

Yu Qian took a gentle breath and said in a low and somewhat unkind voice: "His Royal Highness, King Xi, understands military formations. Even Qian cannot cover everything on the ever-changing battlefield. If King Xi doesn't understand command, it may harm the country. Please, please

Your Highness, King Xi, please think twice."

Zhou Yu laughed: "I really understand. I have studied hard to lead troops in battle. I originally thought that under the restrictions of the Queen Mother, I could only be a free prince in this life, but now that the country is in crisis, I can also display my ambition.

, if there is anything my king did wrong on the battlefield, the minister can immediately point it out, and I will humbly accept it, but I must go to this battle."

"Your Highness?"

Zhou Yu waved his hand: "I thought you wanted to talk to me about other important things, that's all?"

"Your Highness..."

"Okay." Zhou Yu interrupted Yu Qian's words and said: "If I go in this battle, the winning rate can be increased by 30%. I am protecting the country of the Ming Dynasty and not for other reasons. No matter what happens next, I will definitely win this battle.

Gotta go."

"I understand."

Several people originally came here to dissuade Zhou Yu from going on an expedition, but Zhou Yu's attitude was very firm and they had nothing to do. Even though Zhou Yu asked them to go together to visit the Empress Dowager, the three of them had no choice but to follow them to the Empress Dowager's palace.

After the announcement, Zhou Yu and others came to the palace and saw the Empress Dowager sitting on the soft couch. The four of them, including Zhou Yu, also bent down to salute the Empress Dowager.

"grandmother."

"The Queen Mother."

"Get up." The Empress Dowager nodded slightly: "King Tan and all the ministers came together, but they have already made a decision."

"Yes, grandma." Zhou Yu stood up and nodded: "Sun Tzu and many ministers agreed that the Wala army must not be allowed to attack Juyong Pass. They also used the excuse of sending the emperor's brother back to summon a large army to attack Juyong Pass. The army will be able to attack Juyong Pass in a short time.

Arriving under the closed door, this time I, the Ming Dynasty, have no choice but to fight."

The Empress Dowager sighed softly: "Your brother is still fine."

Zhou Yu shook his head gently: "The spies didn't get any information back, so I must first assume that if they really caught the emperor, they wouldn't dare to be disrespectful to him."

"I'm sorry for you." The Empress Dowager glanced at Zhou Yu and said, "Since you and the ministers have already made the plan, I won't say more. You can tell me what you should and should not do.

Women know better."

Zhou Yu bowed, and Yu Qian and the two cabinet members bowed.

Zhou Yu lowered his head and said: "Grandma, things are very important now. This battle will determine the strength of our Ming Dynasty. My grandson also asks grandma not to let irrelevant people interfere in the affairs of the court and palace."

The Empress Dowager sighed again: "I know what you mean. As long as I am not dead, she will not be able to make waves. She has been allowed to listen to politics behind the curtain for so many years and she has heard such a result. The ancestral precepts of Emperor Taizu will not

Someone else violated it."

"Thank you, grandma." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Grandma, my grandson is going to go out personally to boost the morale of the army in this battle. If the emperor's brother is really here, I am afraid that the frontline soldiers will be hesitant to let go. If he also uses the emperor's brother first,

This battle may fail if it affects the morale of the army. Grandson wants to ask grandma to give him a decree."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Empress Dowager looked deeply at Zhou Yu and said nothing for a long time. Instead, Yu Qian knelt directly on the ground: "The Empress Dowager, I have something to report to Yu Qian."

Everyone in the palace focused their attention on Yu Qian. The Empress Dowager did not reply to Zhou Yu but looked at Yu Qian: "Tell me about you."

Yu Qian said in a deep voice: "A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day. The emperor has already fallen into dust and it is difficult to determine when he will return. I have heard many times that I also used the emperor to blackmail the court. This time I came with a large army.

The Ming Dynasty is eyeing me with eager eyes, and King Tan has to attack as a minister. Although it is forced by the situation, after all, the emperor is in dust.

Sitting in the first camp of Yezhen, if the warring ministers of the two armies are waiting, should they listen to the emperor or King Yin? It is even more disloyal and unjust for King Yin to lead the army. Moreover, before the expedition, His Majesty appointed King Yin to supervise the country and did not establish a crown prince.

, The emperor’s eldest son is less than two years old and cannot lead the ministers to govern the country. I sincerely ask the empress dowager to make the decision to stabilize the country as soon as possible.”

The Empress Dowager paused: "You mean to ask me to establish a new king?"

Yu Qian said: "The Empress Dowager, I would like to ask the Empress Dowager to put the country and the country as the top priority and establish a new king, so that our Ming generals and soldiers can be famous and not panic in the battlefield and be caught by the enemy. It's true."

As King Yin said, if my ability to attack the emperor is exploited, the Ming Dynasty will also be in danger."

The Empress Dowager suddenly sneered: "Oh, this emperor is not dead yet and you are so eager to establish a new emperor?"

The two elders' teeth were itching again. They didn't know that Yu Qian actually said these things, and this time he was directly put on fire by Yu Qian.

But in this situation, the two pavilion elders had no choice. They knelt down and worshiped: "Please put the country, the country and the country first."

"Okay, very good." The Empress Dowager looked at Zhou Yu, whose expression did not change at all, and said, "This is what you think too."

"My grandson has no such idea." Zhou Yu glanced at Yu Qian indifferently and said, "My grandson just wants to ask for Yi's decree. If something cannot be done and the emperor's brother cannot come back, it is not his fault. That's all."

Yu Qian said loudly again: "Please ask King Tan to think about it for the country."

"Don't mention this matter again." Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "I will not consider it."

The Empress Dowager looked at her grandson, who seemed to have become completely unfamiliar to her, and said expressionlessly: "King Tan, what are your chances of winning?"

"If we have grandma's will, there is a 100% chance of winning this time, but no matter what, grandson will stop the enemy and never let them set foot in the capital."

The Empress Dowager said: "You mean if Juyongguan can't stop it, why not?"

"It's difficult." Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "We can only do our best. This time we will send out the army first. All the troops in Wala also responded one after another. Now the Great Wall may fall into war, and the nine towns are unable to provide reinforcements. We can only rely on the existing

The soldiers will defend to the death, but after all, the enemy is outnumbered and can only defend to wait for reinforcements. Juyong Pass can only be used to buy time, and it is not enough to use Juyong Pass to defeat them."

"I understand." The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and thought for a while, then slowly said: "I'll think about it again, please step back."

"Grandson resigns."

Zhou Yu left with several ministers, and walked away without caring about the three people after leaving the palace of the Empress Dowager.

As soon as the two elders came out, they started to smile bitterly: "Yu Qian, you have caused us harm."

Yu Qian snorted and looked at the two people with idiotic eyes: "Why bother? If we can't let the new king ascend the throne, we will be dead. No matter what the reason is, attacking your majesty with swords is a serious crime against the nine tribes.

Even if we are not afraid, are we not afraid of the soldiers fighting on the front line? This is the only way to win this battle!"

"Oh, what you said is correct, but what should I do if King Tan doesn't agree?"

Yu Qian said: "That's because we have few people. Now we must quickly summon the ministers to appeal again to His Royal Highness King Xi and the Queen Mother. As for the Queen Mother..."

The official secretary said: "Don't worry about the Queen Mother. Now she has been banned. The entire palace has been surrounded by royal guards and guards. Even the maids and eunuchs in the palace have been replaced. The Queen Mother has lost her power. We all looked down on her before.

King Liu also underestimated the hatred of the Empress Dowager for the Queen Mother. King Xi had been careful and disguised for so long, and this time he finally seized the opportunity. It is a pity for Queen Mother Hu. "

"It's all in the past. What's the use of talking about it now." The Minister of Rites shook his head and said, "Yu Shangshu, haven't you heard the rumors circulating in the capital now?"

Yu Qian shook his head: "I don't dare to make unreasonable comments, everything will come to light one day."

The Minister of Rites lowered his voice: "Two ministers, who are the new emperors?"

"Do you dare to recommend someone else?" The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel rolled his eyes at the Minister of the Ministry of Etiquette: "At this time, in terms of overall justice and rules, if there is no prince, we can only supervise the country."

"Please." The Minister of Etiquette smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "Without three requests and three concessions, it probably won't be possible. The war needs to be done as soon as possible, but if you want to be the Queen Mother, you can't avoid it."

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel shuddered and shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter. With King Xi's ability and shameless style, Queen Sun is the best to solve it. King Xi can be so shameless and act as if nothing happened.
