After the death escape, I became the white moonlight of the crazy tyrant

Chapter 191 Beat up 1 rake

After giving the exact answer, Xie Lang did not rush to continue.

Wen Hemian saw the look of doubt on the faces of several ministers and promptly came to the rescue: "Why don't you tell me what you think?"

At this point, who doesn't know that His Majesty and Lord Wen are a couple? Lord Wen's opinion is probably what His Majesty means.

Without giving it much thought, they quickly spoke their minds.

"We have Prince Huailing and His Royal Highness the Princess at the border, which should be enough to resist the barbarians."

"But if Prince Jia really colludes with those barbarians, he will definitely turn around and attack the city. If he is attacked from both sides, disaster may occur."

"The imperial court must send someone. I think General Zhou is a good candidate. Commander Feifeng has also made some achievements in recent years..."

"There are still many people available, but most of them are young and may lack experience. There is no shortage of veteran generals to be sent as military advisors. Are you afraid that you can't defeat Prince Jia?"

When it comes to suitable candidates, everyone has a few ideas in mind, but after some discussion, they still haven't decided who should lead the team.

Fortunately, the court has gradually become more talented in recent years, and there is no longer a shortage of staff. There is no need to worry about anything, and the situation is relatively optimistic.

Lu Zishen wisely folded his hands and kept silent, listening to their discussion and waiting for the noise to die down. It should be that they had almost finished their discussion. Finally, he heard the emperor speak: "I have decided to lead the army in person."

He calmly informed his ministers of his decision, leaving no room for discussion.

Except for Lu Zishen and Wu Zongding who had guessed some of the truth, the other ministers all looked stunned.

"How can this be done?"

"The barbarians are reckless and have always been hostile to Dazhao. If they knew that Your Majesty was going there, they would definitely assassinate Your Majesty at all costs!"

"There are many talented generals in the court. This trip is not worth the risk for Your Majesty!"

After being tortured like this by the previous emperor, the ministers were traumatized. They had finally waited for a wise monarch, so why would he run to a dangerous place?

"Lord Wen, please persuade His Majesty!"

Seeing that the emperor remained silent, the Minister of Rites rolled his eyes and shifted the topic to Wen Hemian. Originally, he had some complaints about Wen Hemian in his heart, but in the face of this kind of thing, these petty favors and grudges seemed unimportant.

The key is how to persuade His Majesty to come down.

This is no joke!

If Your Majesty doesn't listen to them, you should at least listen to Lord Wen, right?

Wen Hemian covered his forehead and lowered his eyes, knowing that they would shift the topic to himself.

Lu Zishen and Wu Zongding looked at each other and shook their heads: Why can't they understand? This must be the result of the discussion between Lord Wen and His Majesty.

Maybe it's not that he doesn't understand, but he just wants to pretend to be confused even though he knows the answer.

However, Xie Lang did not give them the opportunity to embarrass Wen Hemian.

His eyes suddenly darkened: "Why are you asking the Grand Tutor about my decision? If the Grand Tutor doesn't persuade me, can you force him to answer?"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Rites was shocked and regretted his recklessness. He knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This was not my intention."

Xie Lang didn't care whether he meant that or not, he had some thoughts in mind: "Deduct one month's salary."

The Minister of Rites was dejected: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness."

With him taking the lead, the rest of the ministers understood that since His Majesty had spoken, there was no possibility of changing it. Besides, Lord Wen didn't say anything, so it was useless for them to be stubborn.

When everyone was silent, Lu Zishen spoke slowly and calmly, "It's a long journey to the north. Your Majesty, please issue an order to make early preparations and deploy defenses in the capital."

Wen Hemian gave him an appreciative look. Lord Lu was as helpful as ever and always provided the finishing touch at the critical moment.

Xie Lang nodded and said calmly, "I have written down the specific matters in the imperial edict, which will be announced later. I summoned you all here to discuss the details."

At this point, everyone realized belatedly that they had been trapped for a long time. His Majesty had not said a word before and had been waiting there.

The emperor had made up his mind. They looked at each other and started to work out plans. They would first face the problem together and talk about other things later.

Back to business, Wen Hemian finally stopped standing there with his tea in hand and acted like an invisible person, and joined in the discussion. The atmosphere in the imperial study was solemn for the whole afternoon, until night fell, when the ministers went back with heavy hearts.

This matter has not been announced to the public yet. Those who can come here are people they trust. If the news leaks out, it will be a real problem.

From their point of view, they certainly don't want there to be any problems among these people. After all, they are in this position and are considered to be the right-hand men. If they lose one of them, they will have to start all over again.

"There is a traitor in the capital, I am still worried."

Xie Lang rubbed his brows and took off his majestic appearance. He was only willing to show his powerless side in front of Wen Hemian.

"Don't you believe me?"

Wen Hemian looked at him with amusement: "Your Majesty, you can go without worry. I'm here in the capital, so there will be no problem."

The woman spoke in a gentle tone, but if you listened carefully you could hear an aura of majesty in her voice. She had been assisting Xie Lang until now, but if she didn't have any skills, she wouldn't be able to control her subordinates.

It's just habit and kindness.

"I don't believe in Master."

Xie Lang said, standing up, leaning over at a high height, and easily pulled her into his arms from behind: "I can't distrust anyone but Master, but I still have to be on guard against others, fearing that you will get tired."

"No matter how tired I am, it's not as dangerous as fighting with real guns and swords on the battlefield." Wen Hemian smiled helplessly, "You won't let me go with you, so I have to guard the capital for you."

Since ancient times, there have been too many incidents of being backstabbed during marches. Xie Lang insisted on going, and she couldn't stop him. She could also understand why he wanted to keep her in the capital. After all, they were the only ones who could stand behind each other.

Xie Lang narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke slowly: "When did I ever say that I wouldn't let you go?"

"you……"

Wen Hemian was choked by the sudden accusation: "You are so anxious to put the position of Prime Minister in my hands, isn't it just to let me stay in the capital?"

That's exactly what I thought at first.

Later, Xie Lang reflected seriously and felt that his tutor should not be a bird trapped in a cage. His behavior was actually no different from imprisonment. It was only because Wen Hemian indulged him that they were able to be so harmonious.

He realized that sometimes he was not very willing to see her compromise for him unconditionally.

This went against his original intention.

Xie Lang kissed her earlobe and smiled in an insincere way: "I didn't say it myself, Han Shuang just agreed to it."

Wen Hemian: “…”

"Okay, I admit defeat." Wen Hemian said coldly, "Tell me what you plan to do."

Xie Lang had no way to refuse, and touched his nose awkwardly: "I'll go first, and when everything is settled, the Grand Tutor can bring people over. There are a few people in the capital that the Grand Tutor likes, which is enough."

Wen Hemian once commented that he was too cautious, but this move was clearly an attempt to change.

It means he listened to everything she said.

Wen Hemian was slightly stunned.
