My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 118 116. The teacher returns to the court? Give it a try!

In the tent, Zhao Xuanqi was sitting upright, ignoring the dusty eunuch in front of him. He looked down at the imperial edict brought by the eunuch and was a little dazed for a moment.

"The emperor is seriously ill, the government is in chaos, and the rear is unstable."

"Twelve gold medals, please ask me to withdraw my troops and go back?"

The eldest eunuch Mo is about forty years old. He is very tall and has a ruddy complexion. He is an absolute confidant of Emperor Qinglong. Emperor Qinglong has been taken care of by him since he was a child.

With a sad look on his face, he replied respectfully: "Grand Master, that's true."

"More than a month ago, His Majesty contracted a serious illness and suddenly fell into a coma. Later, he was unable to handle state affairs. His body was getting weaker and weaker. It is estimated... that he may not be able to survive!"

The message he said was very important.

So much so that Zhao Xuanqi was frightened.

After only sending troops for half a year, the country was about to be overthrown, and yet we received such news.

However, Emperor Qinglong had always been in good health. He could jump around normally and was not sick at all. Why did he suddenly become seriously ill and was about to die?

Moreover, twelve gold medals.

Why does this plot look so much like Yue Fei?

He was confused for a moment, his mood was agitated, his face darkened, and he suddenly committed the crime.

He asked loudly: "Is this news true or false? What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The chief eunuch was so frightened by Zhao Xuanqi's violent reaction that he knelt on the ground, started crying, and kowtowed respectfully:

"Grand Master, Lord Wu An, I guarantee with my own life that this news is absolutely true, and there is no falsehood in it."

"The old slave is His Majesty's confidant and always takes care of His Majesty's life. This news is absolutely true and there is no falsehood at all. If the old slave tells a lie, the old slave would rather be killed by a thousand cuts!"

Zhao Xuanqi stared at the eunuch, and saw that he did not lie at all, and his heart sank even more.

There are two possibilities.

1: Emperor Qinglong is really seriously ill and has reached the point where there is no need to delay, and the rear is in turmoil.

Two: Emperor Qinglong pretended to be seriously ill, and even his trusted eunuchs were concealed from him. He had an ulterior conspiracy.

If the news is true and Emperor Qinglong is really seriously ill, since he has just taken over the throne and has not completely stabilized the government, and he is far away in another country, if there is no one to take charge of the rear, there will definitely be chaos in the rear!

If the news is false and Emperor Qinglong pretends to be seriously ill and orders his troops to retreat when the country is about to be overthrown, it is definitely a bad sign. Not only may the country's success be undone, but there may also be a shocking civil strife!

Regardless of whether this news is true or false, this is completely bad news!

Zhao Xuanqi was in a state of confusion.

I don’t know whether I should be sad or not.

After many years of companionship, he has always regarded Emperor Qinglong as his own disciple and son, and even delayed his own children's education in order to educate Emperor Qinglong...

If the news is true, then his dearest and most beloved disciple, the master of Zhongxing he trained, has fallen into critical illness...

If the news is false, the emperor pretended to be very close to him, but in fact he had a hidden edge and deceived himself. Now he wants to make such a death move at such a critical time. He is extremely stupid and will definitely do it. Those who are not good.

Now that this situation suddenly happened, Zhao Xuanqi didn't know what to do for a while.

Only those who are in the game can understand this complex emotion.

Should we withdraw our troops?

This most important choice lies before Zhao Xuanqi.

He sighed:

"Call the lieutenants of the army and a few scribes to come to the central army tent to discuss matters!"

This choice is not only the choice of Zhao Xuanqi, but also the choice of the entire Northern Wei Dynasty's southern expedition team.

Everyone's opinions must be solicited, otherwise a big mess may break out if not handled properly.

"As ordered!"

The cronies beside him slowly left.

Not long after, more than a dozen generals hurried to the Chinese army's tent. The gentlemen and counselors that Zhao Xuanqi had summoned before also arrived one after another.

They looked at Zhao Xuanqi sitting on the main seat with a dull face, which was so gloomy that it could drip with water, and they also guessed that something was wrong.

Judging from the people in the big tent, all the senior officials of the Northern Wei Dynasty's southern expedition have arrived. It is definitely not a good thing to be able to gather all the senior officials and the look on Lord Wu'an's face at this moment!

Therefore, one by one, the generals and the other counselors took their seats without making too much noise, and then waited for Zhao Xuanqi to speak.

"Everyone must have noticed that we have something very important to discuss this time."

Zhao Xuanqi spoke slowly.

Then he slowly told everyone the news about the great eunuch.

Tell everyone without missing a word.

The contents mentioned in the imperial edict, as well as the matter of the twelve gold medals, were fully stated.

"The country is about to be overthrown, and the cause of Qianqiu must be unified. How could His Majesty happen to be seriously ill? And there are still twelve gold medals, so urgent..."

The generals and counselors raised objections one after another.

There was a quarrel all of a sudden.

The entire camp became like a vegetable market and was very noisy.

Zhao Xuanqi saw this and committed the crime.

"quiet!"

"I didn't ask you to come over and quarrel this time."

"I'm not asking you to discuss whether this news is true or false. Let's treat it as true news. I just want to invite you to come over and discuss whether to withdraw the troops?"

Seeing Zhao Xuanqi getting angry, the tent instantly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

But the calm was soon broken.

Immediately, a general stood up, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Jun Wu An, my subordinates believe that we cannot retreat."

"It won't be long before we can defeat the capital of Southern Zhao and complete the unification of the world..."

"How can we retreat when such a great cause is right in front of us?"

"Then we have been fighting in the south and north in the past six months, and we have conquered all over the place. Isn't it true that we have failed in our success?"

"Why are we fighting in the north and south? Why are we sleeping in the open air? Isn't it just for the reunification of the family and the country? We have such an easy achievement right in front of us. Wouldn't it be a fool to retreat!"

Other generals also stood up and continued to support this opinion.

Some generals with violent personalities even cursed:

"In my opinion, Your Majesty is definitely afraid of Lord Wu'an's great achievements, and is afraid that you will establish a new country after conquering the city. He is definitely not well-intentioned!"

"If we return to the Northern Wei Kingdom after retreating, we will definitely be deprived of military power, and you, Mr. Wu An, will definitely not end up well. You may live or die on the spot!"

"His Majesty is really ignorant. We have worked hard to fight for our country, but he doesn't believe us, and he doesn't believe Lord Wu An. We can't just go back like this!"

"We must conquer the Southern Zhao Kingdom and then go back. We cannot give up on this great undertaking. It is not certain whether we will have a chance next time!"

It can be seen that many of them do not believe that Emperor Qinglong is seriously ill. Emperor Qinglong is young and cannot be seriously ill. They all think that Emperor Qinglong must have some ulterior conspiracy and must not retreat.
