Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

Seeing that the ministers no longer objected, Xie Lang nodded slightly.

Wouldn't it have been better if this had been done earlier? She wouldn't have had to waste her breath talking about it.

"Please excuse me, everyone!" Xie Lang glanced at the ministers calmly, "I am here to give you a piece of advice, do not question any of my decisions. You only need to execute the orders I give. I will explain what needs to be explained, and if I don't explain, it means I don't want to explain."

Xie Lang's words made most officials dissatisfied.

Even the emperor didn't dare to be so arrogant.

However, due to Xie Lang's status as regent, they did not refute this.

But in his heart he sneered, thinking that since you, as the regent, have taken everything on your shoulders, then if anything goes wrong the responsibility will also be on you.

Xie Lang saw everything.

Taking the initiative has always been Xie Lang's style.

She was not in the mood to compete with these civil and military officials. It would be a waste of her time.

She doesn't care whether the officials under her are truly obedient or just pretending to be. It's their business if they have their own little thoughts, but if their little thoughts ruin her business, she will let them experience what despair is.

At this time, Cai Wa was still kneeling on the ground with a hint of hesitation and entanglement on his face. He looked around, as if he didn't know what to do.

When Xie Lang said no need to be polite, it would be wrong for him to stand up, and it would be wrong for him not to stand up.

So the situation remained deadlocked.

Seeing his embarrassment, Xie Lang said calmly, "Get up."

"Thank you princess, thank you princess."

Cai Wa breathed a sigh of relief and became much more obedient after returning to the team.

At this time, the entire hall fell into silence again, and it was Xie Lang who broke the deadlock.

"Minister Chen, as the Minister of War, I would like to ask, how many combat troops can Dayan deploy to the border?"

Chen He's name was called and he stood out. He was the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. Both the Minister of War and the Right Vice Minister He had followed Li Chongguang to the war. Now their life and death were unknown. He was the highest authority in the Ministry of War.

After he stepped out of the line, he looked at Xie Lang, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself, his face looking very heavy.

The other officials felt it was not good when they saw this. Since Chen He had made such an expression, he must not have many troops able to fight.

After a few seconds, Chen He finally said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother and the Regent, Your Majesty fought against the Khitan. Your Majesty led an army of 450,000 but was completely annihilated by the Khitan's 50,000 cavalry. Our army was completely annihilated, and the three passes of Chengnan, Xinyang, and Rentian were also captured. These three passes serve as the barrier of Shuoyang City. If the three passes are breached, Shuoyang City will be in danger. Shuoyang City is also an important border area. If Shuoyang City is breached, the Khitan can send a large army to march straight in and attack our Daliang capital."

At this point, most officials could no longer remain calm.

With an army of 450,000 against 50,000, they thought they would win, but unexpectedly they were completely wiped out.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the second half of what Chen He said, which is that if Shuoyang City is broken, the enemy can march straight in, which threatens their lives!

As their own lives were at stake, some officials became timid.

However, Chen He continued to speak.

"Yu Xun, the defender of Shuoyang City, led the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend Shuoyang City. Shuoyang City originally had 80,000 people, but now there are only 50,000 left, including the civilians in the city. If they don't get support, they won't be able to hold out for much longer. Food and grass are in short supply, and the soldiers have been fighting for days, and they are already exhausted..."

Xie Lang raised his hand and interrupted Chen He.

"I just want to ask how many capable soldiers you have that can be transferred to the border?"

"About a hundred thousand people."

All the ministers were shocked. 450,000 troops could not defeat the 50,000 Khitans. Could these 100,000 be saved?

It’s over, it’s over, Daliang is going to fall.

Some people are already preparing to propose moving the capital south. After all, nothing is more important than one's own life.

"One hundred thousand?" Xie Lang muttered to himself. It was enough.

"Chen He, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Linxian, the General of the Imperial Guards, He Wei, the Loyal and Martial General..."

Xie Lang read out seven names, these people were either civil officials of the Ministry of War or military generals.

"Except for the people whose names I read, everyone else can leave first."

what?

Let them withdraw?

Why should they be asked to withdraw when their lives and property are at stake?

"Princess, our army only has 100,000 combat soldiers. We can't resist the Khitan's elite cavalry. If Shuoyang City is destroyed, Daliang will also fall. Instead of waiting for it to fall, it is better to move the capital first, and then..."

"How dare you! How dare you destroy the morale of our army?" Xie Lang shouted directly, interrupting him: "Come here, take off his official hat and uniform, and throw him out. Never employ him again."

"Princess, the capital city is really undefendable. We are not migrating south for ourselves, but for the country of Dayan! The main force of our court is in Daliang. If we don't shift our focus, when Daliang City is breached, Dayan will really perish, Princess..."

The official who proposed moving south was dragged out by the guards in the palace, and he shouted at Xie Lang without giving up.

After seeing his miserable condition, some officials gave up their proposal to move the country south.

Gradually, the official's voice became farther and farther away until it disappeared.

The ministers were trembling with fear. They did not expect Xie Langju to be so decisive that he would dismiss someone from office just because of a single sentence.

Without giving the officials a chance to think, Xie Lang stood up and said sternly, "Anyone who dares to talk about moving south again will be beheaded!"

"If anyone is afraid of death, then resign and go home. If anyone does not resign, and I hear that he is saying something that disturbs the country of Great Yan, I will kill him without mercy!"

As soon as the murderous words came out, many people fell silent.

"Nonessential personnel may leave now."

Except for a few people whose names were mentioned by Xie Lang, most of the court officials left on their own accord.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, I will bring him back intact. You don't have to worry about other things."

The Queen Mother wanted to be angry at first. She had never been so angry before.

But when it comes to bringing my son back, I still have to rely on Xie Lang.

Okay, she endured it.

So he snorted coldly and went back to the palace.

With the departure of the court officials, the Huaguang Hall suddenly became spacious.

At this time, Xie Lang noticed that Wei Renda had not left yet. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, he thought that Wei Renda was half a teacher of the original owner Li Jingming, and it was he who first proposed that Li Jingming become emperor. His tone softened a little: "What do you want to tell me, Minister Wei?"

"I just want to ask one question, Princess, are you absolutely sure?"

It was a very plain sentence, with neither doubt nor panic in it, just a simple inquiry.

"If you obey my orders, you will get it. If you pretend to obey my orders, you will get it."

This sentence was both an answer and was spoken to Wei Renda and everyone present.

It is both a hope and a warning.

In Li Jingming's life, although Daliang was saved, there were heavy casualties.

And if Xie Lang also suffered heavy casualties, then she would have no need to live.

"I understand."

After getting this result, Wei Renda stopped asking questions, bowed and left.

After Wei Renda left, Xie Lang said to Chen He.

"Chen He, you must remember what I am going to say next. This is a matter of great importance."

"Princess, wait a moment."

Seeing that Xie Lang's expression was very serious, Chen He took out a piece of wood and a carving knife from his sleeve.

He planned to carve what Xie Lang said on a piece of wood with a carving knife.

When it was ready, he said, "Okay."

Xie Lang looked at him deeply. Today's meeting in Huaguang Hall was not a court meeting, so there was no tablet. He didn't expect that he would bring a piece of wood.

"At the end of the evening hour on October 17, General Yelu Bei will lead 50,000 troops to raid Humen Pass. At 3:30 on the same day, heavy rain will fall on Qiyan Mountain, and mudslides will occur..."
