Chapter 576 Can still be rescued

There is a partition in the East Warehouse Pavilion with cloud brocade embroidery on it.The brocade is a little translucent, and the lights on the copper lamp stand in the partition and the minister's red robes are vaguely visible.

Many officials were silent today.

I guess some people think that the court is over and what strategy should they discuss?

Anyway, the day when the city is broken will come sooner or later. It is better to come early than to come late, but it will be more enjoyable!

However, Emperor Zhu Gaochi really hoped that that day would be postponed as much as possible; he also wanted to struggle for a while and delay it for a day.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the memorial on Huang Cuo's desk while pondering something.

Yuan Gong and others were talking, and they also expressed their suggestions for moving the capital; some advocates defending the capital cities and then issue edicts to the world to serve the king... The ministers seemed to have no other tricks; these strategies were also done by Emperor Jianwen, but none of them played any role.

For a while, Zhu Gaochi didn't even raise his head.

At this moment, Ru Wei, the Minister of War, spoke: I will report to the emperor...

Zhu Gaochi immediately raised his head and his eyes were on Ru Yi's face.

Ru Ying said: The number of surrendered naval ships and the Ministry of War are available for checking. I used this to speculate that the rebels had only 50,000 to 70,000 land divisions.

But if these tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry suddenly had their troops outside the capital and the river were filled with enemy ship fleets, the formation was still very large!

At this moment, people were in panic. The soldiers and officials in the capital were afraid of the Han king like a tiger because of rumors. If the official army was trapped in the capital, they would be afraid that they would not be able to defend it. Some people would definitely want to open the door to seek credit!

Therefore, the minister advocates: First, the Ministry of War should immediately order to dispatch infantry and cavalry to reinforce the two cities of Zhenjiang Prefecture and Taiping Prefecture (Ma'anshan City), to block the north and south wings of the capital; and prevent the rebels from finding a foothold near the left river in the capital.

Second, after deploying the necessary city defenses in the capital, the main force should gather and station outside the city to find an opportunity to fight the rebel vanguard in a decisive way in order to defeat the rebel vanguard!

When the morale of the official army is depressed, attack instead of defense, inspire the morale of the army, and protect the safety of the capital.

Third, the emperor should choose a general as soon as possible to arrange the battle strategy for the Zhili Battle.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi thought for a while, and finally said: Rubutang’s words are reasonable.

The emperor supported Ru Yi, so the ministers did not object much.Some people have successively discussed it.

Zhu Gaochi asked again: In the decisive battle of Zhili, who can serve as the head commander of the imperial court's official army?

After a while of discussion in the warm cabinet, Yuan Gong said: From the perspective of a minister, the best candidate is Duke of Wei.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi nodded subconsciously, and he also recognized Xu Huizu's generals in his heart.

At this time, Yang Shiqi bowed and said, "Master, I think we should send a fast horse to Nanchang Prefecture first and summon Xue Lu and Tan Zhong and the others back to the capital."

Yang Shiqi's words reminded Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi also thought at this time that Xu Huizu might not be willing to serve as the chief general!

The army in Zhili is the last remaining force of the imperial court, and it is at stake. It is too much fun to force an unwilling person to fight!

Although Xue Lu and Tan Zhong were defeated and their reputation was ruined, these two generals had at least two strengths: reliability and hard work.

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaochi said: Immediately issue an order to order Xue Lu and Tan Zhong to return to Beijing as soon as possible!

The ministers and others obey the order.

After a pressing decision, the warm room was quiet for a while.Zhu Gaochi raised his arm, supported his chin, and looked thoughtful.

Zhu Gaochi was wondering how to make Xu Huizu willingly lead troops and fight with all his might!

Now the total strength of the rebels of the King of Han has far exceeded the force that the court can mobilize, but the rebel vanguard went deep alone; so on the battlefield of the Zhili Battle, the officials still had an absolute advantage in the strength of the troops!

At this time, if a general like Xu Huizu leads the troops, the government army will still have a chance to win a victory in Zhili.

Even if the official army defeated tens of thousands of rebels in the Battle of Zhili, the general trend could not be changed; however, victory can boost the morale of the official army and delay it for a longer time.Zhu Gaochi needs time now!

……

Outside Taiping Gate of the capital, Qingshou Temple is a temple with a transcendent status since the beginning of Yongle.It is because Emperor Taizong's confidant counselor Yao Guangxiao was the host here.

There was a woman locked up in the monk's room behind the temple, but no one dared to say much about it; what's more, the other monk's room was Yao Fang, a military general of the Jinyiwei!

The monk who dared to privately escort the generals of the Jinyiwei in the capital may have no one else except Daoyan.

Yao Fang sat cross-legged on a cushion, looking very quiet, he was thinking about something.

At this moment, the monk's room opened.Monk Qingyuan came in with a pair of wooden plates. Not only was there a wine pot and wine glass, but there was also a smell of braised pork!

I am vegetarians and others, but General Yao is not a monk, so he can't help but eat meat.The host personally ordered that he should not treat General Yao badly.Monk Qingyuan said kindly, putting the things in the wooden plate one by one on a wooden table.

Yao Fang stood up and clasped her fists and said: Thank you, my uncle, for your care.However, I have always been loyal to me, and my uncle is grateful to me for the kindness of raising my brother and sister. I have to give me some instructions. Why should I lock me up here?

Qingyuan glanced at Yao Fang and clasped his hands together and said: Of course, the host trusts General Yao, and he will not make things difficult for you.This is just for others to see.

Yao Fang frowned and thought about something.

Of course, there is something unreasonable about this statement.

If Daoyan is just acting, what will Wang, who captures Yao Fang's favorite, do?

Therefore, Daoyan should have noticed something from some signs, at least he has begun to suspect Yao Fang!

However, Yao Fang has been showing his loyalty for this period of time; the monks at Qingshou Temple are not difficult for Yao Fang.We didn't break up with each other, and we just didn't want to say it thoroughly for the time being.

Qingyuan also said: The sage said that it is difficult for women and villains to raise.Ling's sister Yao Ji has been named the wife of the King of Han, and the situation of the King of Han is very good now. Could it be that women are greedy for wealth and change their minds...

Yao Fang hurriedly said: My little sister is definitely not an ungrateful person.Please be assured by my uncle.

At this moment, a monk outside the door suddenly opened the door and hurriedly walked in, attached himself to Monk Qingyuan's ear and whispered a few words.

The voice was very small, but the three of them were very close. Yao Fang seemed to hear a few words. He hurriedly said: What's wrong with Miss Wang?

Monk Qingyuan looked at Yao Fang and said calmly: General Yao is a little at ease, there is no big deal.I went over and took a look.

Yao Fang said worriedly again: How are you doing to her?

Monk Qingyuan frowned and said: I am all monks and have always treated Wang with courtesy.General Yao is relieved.

Yao Fang said: I want to go and see her!

Later someone brought General Yao over.Monk Qingyuan said.After saying that, he hurried out of the monk's room and locked the door; then walked straight to the place where Wang was imprisoned.

Wang is Yao Fang's relationship.According to Yao Fang's account, Wang was the biological sister of Wang Gen, the former editor of Hanlin Academy.

After King Yàn's Jingnan Army entered the city, Wang Gen thought that he was a disciple of Emperor Jianwen and the first Jinshi, and was ashamed to betray the monarch and surrender to King Yàn, so he took poison at home and committed suicide!

But the Wang family members were afraid of being implicated and lied that Wang Gen died of illness and was buried.

Unexpectedly, someone later reported the inside story.The censor Chen Ying impeached and Ji Gang, commander of the Jinyiwei, confiscated the house. Later, the Wang family's male dynasty was killed and the female family was sent to the Jiaofangsi.

Yao Fang, the general of the Jinyiwei, also took care of the matter.

Yao Fang was fascinated by the well-educated, gentle and beautiful Wang family, so she relied on Master Daoyan to find ways to blackmail the Jinyiwei and the people from the Jiaofangsi, and brought Wang out of the Jiaofangsi; and hid Wang family in the capital to stay with her forever.

Later, the existence of Wang's family was gradually observed by Daoyan's people...

Monk Qingyuan walked into a monk's room and saw a doctor pouring medicine into Wang's mouth!

Qingyuan looked down and found a small porcelain bottle with juice on the ground.

He immediately asked: Is Wang poisoned?

A monk said: She had poison hidden in her body, and she suddenly took poison today. Fortunately, someone outside the door noticed it!

Monk Qingyuan asked again: Can it be saved?

The doctor turned around and said: Master is worry-free.Fortunately, she found out that she had to wash out the poisonous medicine with medicine and then take detoxification with decoction. She should be in danger of life.

Monk Qingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and frowned and asked: Why haven’t the poison found on her body for so long?

The monk bent down and said, "On the day when I took Wang, my disciples invited the woman from Yuan Siqing's family to search for her, but the bottle must be hidden secretly, and the woman was also very negligent, so she didn't find anything!"Later, no one dared to search her body, and her apprentices and others were all monks...

Monk Qingyuan ordered: Let’s find the woman from Yuan Siqing’s family to enter the temple through the back door and search Wang carefully!

yes.

After struggling for a long time, Wang was given a decoction and was watched and sat on a chair; the doctor left.Although this doctor is an acquaintance, Qingyuan still repeatedly reminds him not to speak out.

At this time, Yao Fang's hands were tied up and she walked into the monk's room.

Monk Qingyuan looked back at Yao Fang's concerned eyes, then frowned and asked Wang: Is anyone making things difficult for you?

Wang shook his head gently.

Qingyuan asked again: Then why do you want to take poison?

Wang was powerless, but his eyes were affectionate at Yao Fang at the door, and said with slight : General Yao is General of the Jinyiwei. If you dare to arrest him even if you dare to arrest him, you must be of great origin... General Yao has already had great kindness to me. I would rather die than implicate General Yao than let him be threatened...

Yao Fang took two steps forward.He acted very restrained and immediately held back and stopped; but his moving expression had already been written on his face!

Qingyuan said: Don’t be too careful, don’t worry about these things.I will not make things difficult for General Yao, nor will I threaten him, and I will let you go soon.General Yao, do you think so?

Yao Fang nodded vigorously and said: Master Qingyuan said it well!Miss Wang, don’t do stupid things anymore.

Wang said softly: I shouldn’t worry the general.

Yao Fang comforted her kind words, but her eyes never moved away from Wang.
