Yuan Wei was hanging around in the harem. If he delegated power in everything, did not interfere in government affairs, and allowed Jiang Ning, the Prime Minister Chen, to run the government affairs, everything would be easy to handle. Jiang Ning could make drastic adjustments to the place and rectify the administration.
The problem is, Yuan Wei doesn¡¯t do this.
Although Yuan Wei was in the harem, he still interfered in government affairs, even ordered the court to collect exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and even used clever names to collect taxes, constantly exploiting the people. Even if Jiang Ning gave advice, it was of no use. On the contrary, it made Yuan Wei very unhappy.
Under such circumstances, Jiang Ning could only apologize.
"Otherwise, you will be scolded again."
Seeing Jiang Ning¡¯s honest apology, Yuan Wei¡¯s anger dissipated a little and waved his hand: ¡°That¡¯s it, I won¡¯t hold you accountable this time. It¡¯s not easy for you to take charge of government affairs.¡±
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuan Wei changed the subject and asked: "The situation is very unfavorable to us. How do you think we should deal with it?"
Jiang Ning was silent for a while and did not answer for the time being.
The two of them walked one after another. When they returned to the main hall, Yuan Wei sat down and said again: "Prime Minister, what should I do?"
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, now that Wang Qi is coming and Kuaiji and Danyang are rebelling again, the only strategy I can think of is to surrender temporarily, because we have no way to reverse the situation at the moment."
After Yuan Wei heard this, a cold light flashed across his eyes, but in the blink of an eye, this cold light disappeared. He did not answer Jiang Ning's words, but said: "Come, summon General Yuan Hua to the palace for an audience."
Lu Feng made arrangements immediately.
In the main hall, it became quiet for the time being, and no one spoke.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps, and Yuan Hua entered with a strong back and a strong back. He is the general of Chen State and Yuan Wei's confidant. He has a strong say in the court.
Yuan Hua clasped his fists and said, "I pay homage to your Majesty. I wonder if you are summoned by your Majesty. What is the important matter?"
Yuan Wei directly talked about Wang Qi's sending troops south, and then talked about the betrayal of Danyang and Kuaiji, and finally said: "I asked the Prime Minister for his opinion, and the Prime Minister said that he could not resist and had no choice but to surrender. Yuan Qing, what do you think? "
Yuan Hua also felt his scalp was numb.
The situation is too bad.
After Yuan Hua waited for a while, he regained his composure. He thought about it and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, although the situation is very unfavorable, I believe that your Majesty should fight to the death no matter what."
Jiang Ning snorted and said: "General, there are rebellions everywhere and people are panicked. How can we fight to the death?"
Yuan Hua looked coldly and said mockingly: "The Prime Minister is very calculating. If you submit to Wang Qi, you can continue to be an official. But if your Majesty submits to Wang Qi, can you continue to dominate the country? Can you continue to live your current life?"
Jiang Ning's expression suddenly changed and he said: "General, I, Jiang Ning, am loyal to His Majesty, and heaven and earth can learn from it. I have never thought about what would happen if I surrendered to Wang Qi. Now, I am only thinking about Your Majesty."
Yuan Hua said: "You know people, faces but not hearts. Who knows what you are thinking in your heart."
Jiang Ning turned to look at Yuan Wei and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me. I have served your Majesty for more than ten years. I am loyal and loyal. I will never have second thoughts. If I have second thoughts, I am willing to be struck by five thunders from heaven."
Yuan Hua said: "Swear, who can't?"
Yuan Wei suddenly raised his brows and said: "Okay, no need to argue anymore. What we have to consider now is not these, but how to resist. If this matter is not resolved, the consequences will be disastrous."
Yuan Hua snorted and stopped talking.
Jiang Ning also fell silent. When it came to the next strategy, he mentioned surrender. Obviously, Yuan Wei was unwilling to surrender, so his suggestions would not be adopted and he simply did not speak.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Yuan Wei said directly: "Yuan Hua, what do you think?"
Yuan Hua thought for a while, came up with some ideas, and said: "I suggest that the army go out and directly confront Wang Qi. Wang Qi has an army, and we also have an army. Our troops in Wu County have recovered slightly, and we have more than 60,000 elite soldiers. . This time, we will go to war with Wang Qi directly. I don¡¯t believe that Wang Qi can defeat our army? As long as this battle is won, Danyang County and Kuaiji County will be destroyed without attack."
Yuan Wei thought about it after hearing it, and it seems to be the same reason.
Fight with all your strength.
Only then can we have a chance to turn things around.
Yuan Wei looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Prime Minister, what do you think of this matter?"
Jiang Ning said: "Your Majesty, I agree with the general's strategy and will fight with all my strength."
Yuan Wei said:"Didn't you surrender just now?"
Seeing Yuan Wei's distrustful look, Jiang Ning explained: "Your Majesty doesn't trust me, so let's fight for a while. After a battle, we will naturally know the difference between superior and inferior, and then we can decide whether to continue fighting or surrender. It's just that I don't have much hope, because the morale of the army is unstable and there are rebellions in various places, so our situation is very unfavorable."
Yuan Wei's face turned cold again, and he flicked his sleeves and said: "Prime Minister, you are trying to embolden others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. You have to believe that my army is not weak."
Jiang Ning said: "I believe in Your Majesty."
Yuan Wei snorted and said, "You don't mean what you say."
Yuan Hua said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Ning found out that the situation was unfavorable at first sight and had second thoughts. Maybe he has already made secret arrangements with Wang Qi and is working for Wang Qi."
"In this battle, we cannot allow him to interfere with the situation. I suggest that Jiang Ning be imprisoned and detained. It will not be too late to release Jiang Ning when the war is over and His Majesty returns in triumph."
Yuan Hua said, "Jiang Ning is talented and has the ability to govern the place. But he is weak in nature and afraid of war. We cannot allow him to stay and preside over government affairs. Otherwise, you don't know how your Majesty's rear has been lost."
After hearing this, Yuan Wei nodded, and then asked: "Prime Minister, what did you say?"
Seeing Yuan Wei nodding in agreement, Jiang Ning said: "Your Majesty has already made a decision in his heart, so why bother asking me again? I am in the cell, waiting for your majesty's triumphant return."
Hearing this, Yuan Wei felt harsh and immediately called for soldiers to take Jiang Ning into custody.
"Stop!"
Jiang Ning scolded.
Yuan Hua said: "Prime Minister, do you want to disobey the decree?"
Jiang Ning said: "Yuan Hua, you are an ignorant and reckless man. This battle of yours will destroy His Majesty's final trump card and strength. After this battle, it is impossible to seek peace."
Yuan Hua snorted and said: "Your Majesty, look at Jiang Ning, she is still facing Wang Qi."
Yuan Wei said: "Jiang Ning, you disappoint me so much."
"Drag it down!"
Yuan Wei gave an order.
Jiang Ning said: "Don't touch me, I will leave on my own."
He walked directly out, and the soldiers followed him, taking Jiang Ning away.
Yuan Hua saw it in his eyes, but his heart felt happy.
Jiang Ning was finally brought down.
Yuan Hua continued: "Your Majesty, time is pressing. I will immediately mobilize the army to go on an expedition. I suggest that your Majesty lead the expedition in person and command it personally. Only in this way can we inspire the morale of the army and make all the soldiers fight to the death."
"Okay, this time I will fight in person."
Yuan Wei nodded directly and answered.
He still has some fighting spirit in his heart. After all, he has more than 60,000 to 70,000 troops under his command. Although Wang Qi said he would send troops south, Wang Qi's troops actually only numbered thirty to forty thousand.
There is a certain gap in the number of people between the two sides, and Yuan Wei feels that he is certain to win.
Yuan Hua was originally ready to leave, but as soon as he took two steps, he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, we have all gone to war, and Wu County needs people to guard it. I suggested that Yuan Ye be responsible for guarding matters. Yuan Ye is Chen's son, and he We, the Yuan family, are always the main ones fighting. As long as Yuan Ye is here, no one can surrender. Even if someone wants to surrender, they will be captured."
"That's right!"
Yuan Wei agreed directly.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Yuan Hua stopped staying and got up to mobilize the army. Half an hour later, Yuan Hua and Yuan Wei left the county together and quickly headed north, preparing to resist Wang Qi's army that was invading south. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
