Chapter 635: The Secret of the Moat (3)
The sunset is setting and the dusk is about to rise.
The Royal Palace Zhengyang Hall.
"Sir Shangshu, please wait a moment, I will inform you."
"It's a blessing to Eunuch Li."
Li Xifu got lucky and walked quickly into the inner hall.
Marquis An Guo turned around and looked at half of the city hidden in the afterglow. His tough face showed his solemnity.
In a moment, Li Xi came to invite someone.
The old emperor Zhou Tao was taking a tonic meal, and his pale appearance was slightly ruddy than in the morning.
The Marquis of Anguo came forward and knelt down, his tone was full of shame, "I will meet the emperor! It is my fault for disturbing the emperor."
"Flat!"
The old emperor's voice was weak, he was recuperating for a long time, but he only recovered a little of his energy, but he was still unable to do so. "Your dear will come to the palace to meet the saint at this time, so there must be something important to report? Li Xi, give him a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Xi brought the chair and An Guohou took his seat. Seeing the old emperor like this, he thought for a moment and said, "Emperor, Marshal Peng Weihu of Qingyuguan reported to the Ministry of War. Recently, foreign countries have been making small moves. Foreign countries have pretended to be our people, robbed my food and grass, captured my people, and burned, killed, and stole them in countless places!"
After speaking, the Marquis of Anguo submitted a red-headed memorial representing the urgent report of the military.
"The barbarians in foreign countries are becoming more and more bold and despicable, despicable and shameless!" After reading the memorial, the old emperor fell directly to the ground with a gray face.
"The friction and temptation of the foreign countries is just to force the emperor to release Helian Ye Hai! According to spies, in order to rescue Ye Hai, the Helian family frequently incited ministers to put pressure on the king of the foreign countries. Now the foreign countries are stationed in Qingyuguan, Tuoji, the deputy general under Ye Hai, who is loyal to Ye Hai, but he is sinister and acts viciously. Marshal Peng wants to send troops to suppress him, but there is no evidence that the foreign countries are provoking first. If they do it rashly, they are afraid of violating the peace treaty between the two countries and carrying the name of incorruptibility!"
"Will the foreign countries abide by the treaty and no longer invade our territory?"
"When the emperor returns to the emperor, the king of foreign countries plots a plan to hunt the king and wants to kill the emperor. How could he give up his ambition for a minister? I think it will be a matter of time before the two countries go to war. The key is that in this game, which country will burn the first fire first!"
The old emperor picked up the ginseng tea and took a sip, frowned, "The Empress Dowager has passed away for less than a year, and I am still in the filial piety period. How can I easily send troops to foreign countries? Peng Weihu is right in his mind, I can't bear the infamy! But Ye Hai must not let it go. I would rather kill this powerful general than send it back to the enemy, so that the enemy can be more wings!"
An Guohou thought to himself: "I have a suggestion to ask Ye Hai to write a letter of confession and promise to never invade Xia forever! If he agrees, he will be open-minded and will not break his promise and be ridiculed by the people of the world. If he disagrees, then Tuoji dares to invade the territory again, and our army will take Ye Hai's head to sacrifice to the flag!"
"Okay!" The old emperor was delighted, "This is a good idea, I'm sure!"
