At this time, there was a lot of noise in the court hall of Dongting. The emperor's face was not good-looking, and he was sitting listlessly on the high seat, but he didn't want to say a word.

The old emperor was actually involved in Wu Jiaming’s cultivation of immortality. He even knew that the source of the elixir was somewhat unclean, but he didn’t care. Anyway, as long as no one found out about it and it didn’t bother him, He could turn a blind eye.

After all, who doesn’t want to live forever?

But who knew that this matter could offend God, and even go to the old general to entrust a dream to him. Even Wu Jiaming's situation is just like what the fairy said in the old general's dream. Now Wu Jiaming's body is exhausted. There is not much time left for the lamp to wither.

Originally, the old emperor was a little unconvinced and went to see Wu Jiaming in person. However, Wu Jiaming also admitted that he had seen the fairy, but the fairy said that he was a person with a predestined relationship and as long as he followed her request If he gets things done, he can still achieve enlightenment and become an immortal. But why does his body still start to weaken after getting things done?

Wu Jiaming suspected that the people below him must have failed to follow his instructions and wanted to kill everyone. He also remembered what the fairy godmother said that he could no longer kill, so he had to ask people to investigate. , but no matter how much he checked, there were no flaws. His body just began to weaken uncontrollably.

He was originally a person who was extremely afraid of death. Now that he saw his body become like this, he was crying every day. Even if he was so sick that he could not move easily, he would insist on burning incense and praying to Buddha and praying to the fairy godmother. I fell into a dream again, but still didn't get what I wanted.

The old emperor also began to panic. Although he did not do those things, he also took the elixir. If the god was really angry because of this, he would be to blame.

He was troubled by these things. Even if the old general sent a lot of letters, he didn't care too much.

If you are going to die yourself, who cares about the lives of others?

But there were still some patriotic people in the court. Someone stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the border matter cannot be delayed any longer. The grain and grass case must be cleared up. If it weren't for this time, , the soldiers at the border will not be so restricted!"

"Even if there is no result for the time being, we must first send food to the soldiers. This matter is not trivial and cannot be willful! ”

It was a good battle and they captured Beiyan Huizhou City, but now not only Huizhou City has been lost, but Dongting’s city has also been lost.

Given time, can’t we just go to the capital?

"Father, I am willing to investigate the grain and grass case!"

The third prince stepped forward. He was having a hard time during this period. Wu Jiaming was his uncle. Something happenedEveryone pushed against him, saying that his mother's family was unlucky and would be targeted by the gods. Even the emperor disliked him and the prince.

The emperor was annoyed. When he saw someone willing to check, he wanted to agree no matter who it was. However, someone was dissatisfied and said: "It all started with Wu Jiaming. Who knows whether that batch of grain is... Master Tianshen punished our Dongting. The Wu family is the third prince’s mother’s family, so it’s better not to get involved in this matter.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone pointed the finger at the third prince and his family. Prince, I feel that the two of them are responsible for the fact that the war has become like this!

After all, since they came back from Beiyan, Dongting has not had any success in anything they do. It must be because of them.

The third prince gritted his teeth in anger, what does this have to do with him!

The prince did not want to quarrel with them, but just said: "Father, the war is tense, and the soldiers on the border don't have enough to eat. In my opinion, why not let the old general surrender? Keep the Qingshan Mountains alive. Don’t worry about running out of firewood. The old general has worked hard for Dongting all his life and cannot end up in such a miserable end.”

Although surrendering is a bit embarrassing, there is no other way to deal with the current situation. If all the soldiers starve to death at the border, they will definitely rebel.

However, although he had good intentions, many people in the court did not think this was a good idea.

"Your Majesty, you must not surrender! How can our Dongting gain a foothold in the future like this? That Beiyan is very shameless. They have looted so many good things from us before. If they withdraw, what are their conditions? It will only become more harsh and excessive. In this case, how can we live in Dongting?"

This person's worries are not completely unreasonable. There are still many people in the DPRK and China who support him.

"Then what do you want to do?"

The man choked and said bravely: "Of course, I will send food so that the soldiers can eat. Then you won’t have to worry about winning the battle!”

“Haha, that’s easy to say!”

The prince sneered and replied: “When this batch of food is delivered, I’m afraid the soldiers will My bones are cold!"

Escorting food is not as simple as sending a letter, otherwise it would not have been known for so long before something happened to the food.

“That’s enough!”

The old emperor said in a deep voice, “We have been arguing every day to no avail, so retreat!”

After saying that, he stood up and left, not caring at all how the matter should be handled.

Things were delayed again.

The third prince looked helplessly at the prince and sighed.

Although the two of them had been at odds since childhood, they were brothers after all, and they are stillBeing targeted by all the civil and military officials is really unspeakably sad.

The most distressing thing is that after the Wu Jiaming incident, the Wu family was targeted, and their mother, Queen Wu, was basically in a state of confinement. Although the two of them could still walk around, they could not Not much better.

The old emperor has been unhappy with them recently, and he estimates that it will not be long before he considers deposing the queen and deposing the prince. In this case, the Wu family will be completely finished.

After going to court, the two brothers rarely walked together, both looking gloomy.

"The border war cannot continue, otherwise Dongting will be completely finished."

The third prince couldn't help but speak. From the beginning, he did not advocate war. Yan has Lu Baichuan and his wife, so Dongting has no chance of winning.

Especially when the old general wrote a letter saying that the other party had a very lethal little black ball. You knew it was made by that woman without having to guess, so you might as well make plans to surrender early.

"What's the use of you and me? My father doesn't care at all."

The prince sneered, feeling that the current Dongting was on the verge of ruin.

The prince left quickly. Since he knew the outcome earlier, he had to make plans earlier. He finally cured his body, and he must try to live for a while, otherwise he would be sorry for himself.

The third prince also knew this and quickly returned to his mansion to find a way out for himself.

At this time, the fifth prince met with the old emperor in private and revealed his plan.

"Father, I am willing to personally escort the grain and grass to the border and take command of the expedition. We will definitely repel the Beiyan army and protect our Dongting border!"

The fifth prince said to himself He still has some confidence. He has been suppressed by the third prince since he was a child. Now that something happened to the Wu family, it is his chance to show off his talents.

As long as I can win this time, I will be a big step closer to that position.

He was willing to take the risk.
