Is the program okay?

Yuan Chu coughed twice before saying: "Marshal, Yuan has always been in charge of internal affairs, and he is not as familiar with military affairs as the Marshal, General Puyang, and the district chiefs. But although Yuan doesn't understand military affairs, I think military affairs should be the same as internal affairs. It is taboo for laymen to command experts, in order not to cause confusion for everyone, Yuan will not express his opinion on this aspect."

Qiu Rufei had already guessed that Yuan Chu would say this, so he nodded and said, "If everyone doesn't express their opinions, then let's discuss how to minimize the losses in this war."

Everyone understands that this is the time to start discussing which area to cede.

In this battle, the sacrifice of Xinying District is a certainty. However, although everyone has no verbal communication, they all agree that only one district will not be able to appease the empire this time. became the focus of controversy.

The high-level executives who just cherish words like gold now seem to have just learned the new skill of speaking, talking about the reasons for sacrificing other people's districts, and the venue immediately fell into chaos.

From being quiet to almost hallucinating the arguments filled with various voices, Lin Yuan saw with his own eyes what is called chaos among the upper classes. It turned out that they were not much different from ordinary people, except that the language was slightly more civilized. , I didn't pinch my waist and stretch my fingers to scold my parents.

Lin Yuan lowered his head and wrote the minutes of the meeting like a fly, but his pen couldn't help but pause for a word that made the chaotic scene suddenly quiet.

Just now, someone said, "It's better to choose Jiang An."

This sentence was like thunder on the ground, awakening people who held their own opinions.All eyes were on the Mayor of Jiang'an District, who had been quiet all along.

Looking at the person who spoke just now, "General Gu, you and I have no grievances in the past, and we have no grievances in the near future. Jiang'an and Songjiang are also in harmony with each other. I don't know what the meaning of the words just now is?"

Gu Yan spoke eloquently, "General Cheng, we naturally have no personal grievances. Even if there was me, I would not take personal revenge on this occasion. It violates my principles of life. My proposal to choose Jiang'an District is all based on the overall situation and for the sake of the overall situation. .”

The degree calmly said: "I would like to hear the details."

Gu Yan glanced at Qiu Rufei and the two generals, and said, "I propose to choose Jiang'an District. The first reason is that Jiang'an District is located on the border, which is not comparable to other inland areas. Choosing Jiang'an District can reduce losses. to the lowest level; secondly, because we all know that after the program treason, the Cheng family drew a clear line with it, but the feud was firmly established, and choosing Jiang'an is far more conducive to ending this war as soon as possible than other districts; the third is the battle of Jizhou Empire The loss is comparable to ours. They can make a comeback in six years, and I think we can too. As long as Emperor Jing is appeased, we will have time to recuperate. I believe we will soon be able to contend with the empire again, and even lose what we lost Take a few districts back. General Cheng, the sacrifice of Jiang'an District was for the sake of the overall situation, and it was only temporary, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

Degree nodded, "General Gu, who has always been infatuated with singing and dancing beauties, must have been prepared for such far-sighted words. But, how can you be sure that the empire will retreat with satisfaction after only winning two districts?"

This is a question that everyone is unwilling to think about. If it is not forced to sacrifice and is silently recognized by others, it is not to the extent that they want to be a bad person who raises this question.

"Then, what do you think should be done?" Unexpectedly, Ji Ji would really raise this question in public, and Gu Yan's tongue was tied up unprepared.

The degree is no longer looking at him, but looking at Qiu Rufei, "Marshal, Jiang'an District is willing to give everything to keep the alliance safe, but the empire is greedy, and I am afraid that Xinying and Jiang'an Districts cannot satisfy them at all." Since the heads of all the districts are here today, it is better to arrange them in order, so as not to quarrel like today, and everyone will lose their status and lose face.”

Since you want to play, then play a little bigger.

People in the venue started whispering, and Gu Yan felt bad.

Sure enough, the degree continued: "After Xinying and Jiang'an, I propose Songjiang as the third choice, except for the procedure. The reasons are basically the same as those proposed by General Gu. Although Songjiang is not a border, once Xinying falls, Songjiang It has also become the border, I think General Gu will definitely put the overall situation first and will not refuse."

Gu Yan looked at Puyangyue in a panic, but Puyangyue was talking to his medical officer with his head sideways, completely oblivious to his eyes asking for help.

There were murmurs in the venue, but Bai Xue suddenly said loudly, "I agree with General Cheng's proposal."

The generals were all taken aback, and Bai Xue said again: "I have to rush back to Xinying to prepare for the battle, why don't we speed up and rank fourth to eighth."

The venue was silent for three seconds, and then there was a buzz and it fell into a chaotic quarrel.

When Lin Yuan's handwriting was about to be abolished, the generals who had been arguing all day finally came up with the order of offering sacrifices, namely Xinying, Jiang'an, Songjiang, Tianxiu, Hui'an, Fengning, Wangxia, and Dufu where the capital is located.

After the meeting ended, Huai Su arranged for Lin Yuan to sort out the meeting minutes and seal them up in the confidential data room, where Lin Yuan finally saw the secret cabinet with the label of procedural treason.

--------------------

While the top executives of the alliance were arguing about the order of cession, the source of their quarrel was also upset at the moment.

The civil servants and generals withdrew one after another, and Emperor Jing asked the people he left alone, "What do you think about Zhen's arrangement?"

Wen Hao bowed and cupped his hands, "Father, the emperor is wise, and my son respectfully wish the father the emperor's flag victory, and the martial arts will be prosperous."

Emperor Jing looked at his impeccable son, "We will definitely be able to bring the entire alliance into the empire this time, can you bring Wenxi back?"

Wen Hao stood up straight, put his hands in his sleeves, and smiled, "I've always told you that it's not that I don't let Wenxi come back, it's that she doesn't want to come back."

Emperor Jing patted the desk, "She is my princess, why is she not willing to come back to see me?!"

Wen Hao smiled, "Why do you ask questions knowingly."

Emperor Jing, who had been suffering from a headache since Wenxi disappeared, was very exhausted, "If you let Wenxi come back, I will definitely fulfill her wish, and I will also fulfill yours."

Wen Hao smiled wryly, "You can't satisfy her wishes at all, so why boast about such things."

"Just open her mouth. I am the emperor of the empire, and soon I will be the emperor of the alliance. The world belongs to me. What wish can't be fulfilled by me?"

Wen Hao sighed, "You never know what she wants."

Emperor Jing was a little annoyed, "What exactly does she want? What wish can she have that I can't satisfy? Within a year, the entire alliance will be included in the territory of the empire, and I will give her an unprecedented peace and prosperity. She still wants to What do you want?"

Wen Hao only felt tired, "That is a great achievement you are proud of, but it is not what she wants."

Emperor Jing flicked his sleeves, "She never said she didn't want it, so don't speculate."

Although he couldn't do it himself, Wen Hao thought he understood Wenxi's psychology, "She never said it was because she loved and respected you, and couldn't bear to see you disappointed."

Emperor Jing snorted coldly, "But she still disappointed me in the end."

Mentioning this, Wen Hao couldn't help but smile, "That's just because she found someone more important."

Emperor Jing raised his eyebrows, "The more important person? Who, the program? That beggar of unknown origin?"

Wen Hao sighed softly, "Yes, it's the little beggar you look down on from the bottom of your heart, but has blocked your ambition for more than ten years."

Emperor Jing stared angrily, "But the program is dead, and six years is enough for him to turn into a bone. What is she thinking if she hasn't come back? Is she going to never see me again for such a beggar in this life?" ?”

"Whether the program is alive or dead doesn't affect Wenxi's feelings for him, isn't it the same for you and the queen mother?"

Snapped!

Emperor Jing threw down his teacup and said coldly: "I warn you again, don't compare that beggar with your queen mother, he is not worthy."

Wen Hao watched the cup burst in front of him, stood with his hands down, and stopped talking.

After being silent for a while, Emperor Jing couldn't help but said again: "What does Wenxi like about Program? That face? Program's face is just an ordinary person, not very special, right? Like his background? That's a beggar, a beggar Very humble, even if not, it is not as noble as Wenxi himself. Or do you like his talent? Talent? Haha, he has already died under my tactics, so how can I talk about it!"

Wen Hao whispered: "Wenxi is not that superficial, all she wants is freedom."

Emperor Jing sneered, "Freedom? What does this have to do with Program? When Program was still alive, he was just a clown dancing in shackles, so what about freedom? Finding freedom in him is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree."

Wen Hao sighed faintly, "People who are trapped in shackles can also become the light of others. You can't understand this kind of thing, right? Ji Jie is such a person, and he is the freedom Wenxi wants."

Emperor Jing disdained, "Born in the emperor's family, shouldering the responsibility of the family and the world, you are not allowed to do whatever you want, freedom? How can there be so much freedom?"

Wen Hao smiled, "Yes, that's right, the queen mother also said so, and she is also a loyal practitioner of this sentence, so she has no freedom at all in her life, and she is a puppet controlled by you until her death .”

Emperor Jing didn't speak, but waved, and Wen Hao walked up to him obediently.

Snapped!

Emperor Jing raised his hand and slapped him, "Presumptuous! Disrespectful!"

Wen Hao didn't dodge or hide from the slap, blood streamed down the corner of his mouth in an instant, he raised his hand to wipe it for a look, smiled and didn't speak.

Emperor Jing squinted his eyes at him for a while, calmed down his anger, and said, "Don't think that if you hide Wenxi, I will pass on the throne to you."

Wen Hao shrugged, "It doesn't matter, it's up to you."

Emperor Jing really didn't understand his son, "Wen Hao, what do you want?"

Wen Hao repeated helplessly, "I said, I just want Wenxi to be free."

Emperor Jing sneered, "If she is free, you will be able to replace her as the first heir. It's a good plan."

Wen Hao sighed softly, sure enough Xia Chong was speechless.
