Chapter 521: Assigning Responsibilities

Wang Xiao led 30,000 people to rush into a siege. He would have lost their lives if he made a mistake. Naturally, the pressure was great, but the greater pressure was that he did not know whether Huang Taiji would return to help.

Prince Zheng Jirgalang, who stayed in Shengjing, also had a headache. He must be blamed for such a rampant in his heartland.

But in the entire battle situation, the person with the greatest pressure was actually Emperor Yanguang in the capital thousands of miles away.

For Huang Taiji and his Qing Dynasty, no matter how raging Wang Xiao was, it would be just a destruction. Although it could bring countless troubles and anger, 30,000 people could not damage the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

But Emperor Yanguang's Chu Dynasty had already become a state of destruction...

Capital.

Chen Yuanyuan felt that Emperor Yanguang was sick.

His Majesty spoke less and less, and he stopped falling memorials. Most of the time, he just sat there alone in silence, without knowing what he was thinking, so of course he hadn't laughed for a long time.

She asked the imperial physician, but the imperial physician said, "Your Majesty is in good health, but he is just depressed..."

This is a heart disease. Chen Yuanyuan doesn't know how to treat it. Even if she knows, she can't.

She had no choice but to pull the depressed Emperor Yanguang this night and asked, "Your Majesty, it's late at night... do you think?"

Emperor Yanguang turned his head, even though the people in front of him were so charming, he still shook his head.

"I don't want to."

"Then... have you rested? Your Majesty didn't rest last night."

"You can rest first, I can't sleep."

"Your Majesty smells the fragrance of me..."

The porcelain bottle in the sleeve swayed, Chen Yuanyuan held Emperor Yanguang and sighed slightly.

An hour later, Emperor Yanguang opened his eyes and sighed.

Sleeping all night again.

When a clapper sounded in the palace, he stood up, opened his hands and put on his dragon robe, like an ignorant puppet.

He took a look at the breakfast on the imperial desk and did not move.

The morning court has been out for two days.

The important officials could not come up with their ideas, so they had no intention of announcing them in the morning court. Early on, a group of important officials had already waited for a small court meeting in the Huangji Palace.

Emperor Yanguang heard the quarrels inside from afar.

It was not until he entered the hall that a group of important officials calmed down.

"His Majesty."

"No gift... Let's start."

This damn court meeting is about to start again.

He Liangyuan spoke first, and he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, General Cai Jiazhen, surrendered to the enemy, please make a quick decision..."

"Also, the news about Xuanda last night also entered Beijing. Five days ago, the Tang Zhongyuan rebel army crossed the Yellow River at Shawokou, and captured three cities in a row. They have captured Fenzhou, Yangcheng, and Puzhou. I ask Your Majesty to decide quickly..."

"I know."

He Liangyuan was stunned and said again: "Please ask your Majesty to judge."

"How do you ask me to slap them?" Emperor Yanguang suddenly roared: "Go to three cities in a day? The people in the city are looking forward to their Emperor Xinghe, hoping that I will die now and make the country and the country a whole new! Don't I understand these? He Liangyuan, why don't you let me sage? Why don't you let me thank the world if you want me to do it!"

Although he was yelling, his eyes were red.

The people of the three cities opened their doors to welcome the Tang Zhongyuan. This was just the four words "big matters are not good" to the civil officials in the court, but no one could understand his feelings when he saw the memorial last night.

Since I ascended the throne, I have been working hard all day long and worked diligently, fearing that I would not be able to manage the people of the world. My black hair turned into white hair and also ate myself. What is the result? This is how the people of the world treat me? I wish I could abandon me like a waste?!

Thinking of these people kneeling in front of Tang Ni and shouting long live, and thinking of their expressions of living a good life, Emperor Yanguang felt like tens of thousands of needles stabbing in his heart, wishing he could pierce himself...

"I have not let down the world, but everyone in the world has let down the world!"

But he shouted, and no one could understand his pain.

The ministers looked at him and obviously only felt "Your Majesty, you are indecent like this."

Oh.

He Liangyuan didn't expect that the first sentence of His Majesty would explode today, so he had to lean on the ground and said, "I am guilty, please be careful of your words."

Emperor Yanguang was filled with anger and could not come out.

Anyway, no one cares about this, so he had to hold back the depression, waved his hand, and said excitedly: "Get up, how do you think you will cut it?"

He Liangyuan responded: "The problem at the moment is that not only is the war in Shanxi unfavorable, but Jizhen... I am afraid that it can't be defended anymore. Zhang Yongnian wrote another letter to ask for help, asking His Majesty to transfer military support, the news this morning..."

He said, spreading out the long letters on his hands, his eyelids trembled.

"Shimen Road was completely lost, the general You Shigong was killed in battle, and the entire army was killed; the general Bao Yi of Shimen Road surrendered to the enemy; the general Qi Bingzhong was lost in battle; the general Xifeng Road was lost, and the general Ma Yi was killed in battle..."

After reading the list for a long time, the hall became quiet. The officials of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of Rites all sighed and chased the chasing of the sacrificial dynasty, which was another lot of trouble...

He Liangyuan was still thinking slowly.

"Yongping Prefecture fell, a piece of stone, Taitou City, Funing, Dongsheng, Changli all fell... Zhang Yongnian has urgently moved his troops to Xingzhou..."

"I'm asking you what to do."

With Emperor Yanguang's words, the cold sweat from He Liangyuan's forehead flowed down.

what to do?

What else can I do? Just escape.

But he couldn't say this, so he had to hand the letter out with both hands and shouted: "I ask Your Majesty to punish Yao Wenhua, Wang Xiao is guilty of ineffective governor!"

"I'm asking you what to do!"

"Your Majesty! 100,000 troops in Jizhen and 100,000 troops in Liaodong were defended by the fortress of Chengguan, relying on the benefits of artillery, why did it be like this? Yao Wenhua and Wang Xiao first changed commanders at the battle, which caused the war in Jizhen to be deteriorated; he did not bring the army back to Jizhen, and failed to concentrate his troops, giving Jiannu a chance to defeat them; later he led the Jinzhou army to abandon the city and fled, forcing Ningyuan, and Shanhaiguan to death... Today's consequences are all the faults of these two people. I would like to ask Your Majesty to deal with them seriously!"

With this sentence, half of the ministers in the hall knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Please take the important position of your Majesty!"

Bian Xiuyong and a group of civil servants who were still standing looked at each other and fell to their knees.

No one can do anything, don’t kneel down and wait to be the first to be a bird?

"I'm asking you what to do?"

"Your Majesty will issue an order to kill Yao Wenhua. Wang Xiao will serve as a warning to You, boost the morale of the army, calm the public's anger, and then the soldiers of the border town can work together and fight bravely to kill the enemy!"

"If the commander who abandoned the city and fought in a cowardly manner is not killed, he will not calm the morale of the army. Please give your Majesty a clear guide!"

Emperor Yanguang closed his eyes, and a huge loss surged in his heart.

No one will give me any advice.

Because... everyone has no choice. Now whoever comes up with ideas will be charged with the crime of destruction of the country.

At this critical moment, the actions of the ministers in the palace seemed absurd. But Emperor Yanguang could see clearly their thoughts.

It is nothing more than to calculate the guilt and blame clearly before the building is about to collapse.

After they surrendered to Tang Zhongyuan, they could shout: "Look, it was Yao Wenhua and Wang Xiao who destroyed the Chu country and it was not our business. We were implicated by these mediocre officials and had no choice but to surrender."

Haha, the king, the ministers, and the ministers... they all fly away when the disaster comes.

"The situation in Jizhen is all due to Yao Wenhua and Wang Xiao's fault. Please pay attention to your majesty!"

There were still shouting in the hall.

For these important officials of the Chu Dynasty, regardless of whether His Majesty dealt with it next or not, they had to make the blame clear.

Emperor Yanguang let them shout.

He listened silently for a while, suddenly spoke, but said something irrelevant.

"Go and get Rhodeyuan to discuss matters."

"Your Majesty! Luo Deyuan's official position is low, how can he participate in the small dynasty meeting?"

"I want to listen to people's opinions on public integrity! Can you tell me about it?"

With a loud shout, the spoken official dared not talk back, and his head was buried lower...
