Chapter 188
The guards of Daming Palace couldn't help but clenched their fists after hearing this battle report.
If he wasn't on duty, he would definitely be applauding.
They were at the door and could clearly hear the issues discussed in the mornings these past few days.
When they learned that Qingzhou had been invaded by an army of [-] people and that the imperial court was delaying reinforcements, their hearts sank to the bottom and they wished they could break into the palace and stab those traitors to death.
Now, how could they not be excited when they learned that the Qingzhou Army had won?
Qingzhou Army, show our country’s prestige!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Emperor Daqian said three good words in a row, without caring about safety issues, he stepped forward and grabbed two battle reports.
One of them is an abbreviated version of what I just read. There is also a detailed battle report.
After reading both battle reports, the smile on Da Qianhuang's face could no longer be suppressed.
"As expected of General Jianfeng, worthy of being our country's elite master!"
When he heard half of it, he thought that Qingzhou had been lost, and he was very frightened.
After all, after Qingzhou County, there is Tingfeng County. Behind Tingfeng County is the capital city.
The enemy's [-]-strong army was about to attack. How could he not panic?
But he never expected that General Jianfeng would be able to repel the enemy army with the help of [-] men and annihilate [-] enemies. It is estimated that for a long time in the future, the Liang Kingdom and the Great Shang Kingdom will not be able to start a war.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
At this time, Chen Menghuai had completely lost his composure.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Menghuai, and then secretly glanced at Emperor Daqian. The smile on the latter's face disappeared a lot.
He had just finished praising him, and Chen Menghuai denied it?
It seems that I really gave him a good look!
But at this time, Chen Menghuai's mind was empty and he was mumbling.
"False, this must be fake! The Qingzhou army only has [-] troops. Among the generals who can rank up, only Jianfeng and Zhao Yue are the only ones. How can they stop the invasion of [-] troops? Impossible, Qingzhou It must have been lost, this person was passing on false information.”
His emotions were out of control.
He calculated countless times, even counting the twenty, twenty-fifth, and thirty days when the sword was blocked.
What he didn't expect was that Jianfeng could lead [-] troops to repel the enemy.
Thinking about the scene when he mocked Jian Chen just now, it was so ridiculous.
"Chen Menghuai, this person is my royal bodyguard, how can he be fake?"
Emperor Daqian's face was filled with anger.
This kind of red flag messenger soldiers are trained by the royal family since childhood and are absolutely loyal.
Even if Chen Menghuai rebels, it is impossible for this person to rebel.
"I was present throughout the eight-day defense battle of Fangcheng. This battle report was also written by me personally, and there is absolutely no fraud!"
The messenger's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Brother Menghuai!"
Zhang Zinan on the side reminded him softly, and at the same time kicked him below.
Only then did Chen Menghuai come to his senses, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out from behind.
Although he held an important position in the imperial court, a head-on confrontation with Emperor Daqian at this time would only lead to death.
Wanting to understand this problem, he knelt down directly on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I was overly excited when I heard that the Qingzhou Army had won, so I lost my composure. Please forgive me."
"Chen Menghuai, what did you just say? Qingzhou's [-] troops can't stop the [-] enemy troops. What else can you say, Qingzhou has already been lost?"
Jian Chen would not miss such a good opportunity. He glanced at Chen Menghuai and sneered.
"You clearly know that [-] people can't defeat [-], and you still keep delaying reinforcements. You are clearly a treacherous minister. You may have already collaborated with the enemy."
When Emperor Daqian heard this, his expression became even more ugly.
Yes, Chen Menghuai himself didn't believe that Qingzhou could be defended, so he delayed reinforcements. Forget it, he still wants to trick himself into transferring reinforcements to Hezhong County.
Could it be that this person has really collaborated with the enemy?
Knowing that he is defeated but still trying to block him in every possible way, you don’t need to think about it to know that there must be something fishy!
Moreover, now that Qingzhou has been victorious and the enemy has retreated, this was originally a great thing, but why is Chen Menghuai so disappointed?
"Your Majesty, I have always been loyal to the Daqian Kingdom and have never had any second thoughts."
Chen Menghuai kowtowed again and again. He understood that if he didn't explain clearly, he might not be able to leave the palace alive today.
Even, the nine tribes will be executed.
"In my opinion, it is easy to defend [-] people against [-] people, but it is almost impossible to defeat. I am also thinking of your majesty wholeheartedly, and I am afraid that your majesty will be blinded by treacherous ministers and lose his judgment."
"Haha, I think you are the treacherous minister, right? Based on your behavior just now, you said it yourself, you seemed to be thinking about His Majesty?"
Jian Chen also exposed it without hesitation.
These villains usually only flatter others and ignore the country's position. They deserve death!
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this person has already collaborated with the enemy. I hope your Majesty will investigate clearly."
Emperor Daqian finally figured out the pros and cons.
There are [-] troops in Huzhong County. As long as they stay behind closed doors, how can Dayu's army possibly break in?
Even if Huzhong County is really lost, there will still be [-] elite soldiers in the capital. With just the few people in Dayu Kingdom, it would be impossible to capture them within a few months.
But once Qingzhou failed, an army of [-] troops marched straight in, aiming directly at Ting'an County.
Ting'an County is not a border area, and the defenders only have [-] troops, which cannot stop an army of [-] people. By then, the capital will be in real danger.
This Chen Menghuai almost harmed himself for his own selfish gain.
"Come here, pull this person down..."
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Zhang Zinan also knelt on the ground and begged Zhang Menghuai for mercy.
He understood that as long as the Zhang family fell, the Chen family would also be sad in the future. So at this time, he must stand up.
"Although Mr. Chen is a little confused this time, he has absolutely no two intentions for the country. And for so many years, Mr. Chen has always adhered to his duties and has never had any trouble. It would be a pity to kill such a loyal minister, so it is better to keep him Hold him and let him make meritorious deeds."
"Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"
Among the ministers, many knelt down and begged for mercy.
Many of these people have close ties with the Chen family and the Zhang family. They understand that as long as the Chen family and Zhang family fall, they will not be in trouble.
There are also some people who have offended the Jian family to death just now.
There is absolutely no possibility of easing up with the Jian family, so they can only cling to the Chen family. They cannot offend both sides.
"Such a treacherous minister, for his own selfish interests, regardless of the country, deceived the emperor and committed crimes. Your Majesty, I feel that he should be executed!"
Zhao Ziyu was filled with indignation and hurriedly stood up and said.
"Zhao Ziyu, you!"
Zhang Zinan's expression changed slightly when he saw the person standing up. Although Zhao Ziyu is younger, his status in the court is not low and he has many accomplices, making him much more difficult to deal with than Jian Chen.
"Your Majesty, if Chen Menghuai is killed and there is no one to take over his position for a while, there may be trouble. Moreover, Mr. Chen has always been loyal, but this time, he was a little confused. Please have mercy, Your Majesty!"
