Open the city gate?!

I was anxious when I heard this. How could I open the city gate at this time? The people outside the city spread rumors just to make these ordinary people lose their composure. They must have set up ambush near the city gate. As long as the city gate is opened, they will rush into the city like a surging flood.

By then, let alone the massacre of the city, I don’t believe that fewer people will die than those in the previous battle!

Thinking of this, I said in a deep voice: "You must not open the city gate!"

Kou'er said: "The Emperor and the Empress said the same thing. The military camp has dispatched a large number of troops to guard the city gate, but the situation is not good now. The people do not listen to people's advice at all. They even fought with the army guarding the city just now."

If it were in the past, these ordinary people would never dare to do this, but in the past few days, rumors spread everywhere in the city, and so many papers flew in outside the city, they all made their minds collapse the emperor's supreme position, the emperor lost his authority, the court lost his trust, and the people lost their responsibilities, and of course, people's hearts would be in chaos. Once people's hearts became chaotic, then anything could be done.

I had just walked out a few steps and suddenly stopped again: "Where is His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress?"

Kou'er said: "The emperor is still in the study, and he is discussing this matter with the empress and several adults. They asked me to come and invite Miss Yan over."

I nodded and turned around and walked towards Pei Yuanhao's study.

As soon as I walked into the gate of the yard, I saw Eunuch Yu standing outside the study door with a whisk in his arms. Some people were talking. I immediately heard General Deng say loudly: "These people are just rioters, what else do you have to say to them? When the last general leads a team of people to deal with them, see that they dare to commit rebellion!"

I became anxious as soon as I heard it. Just as I was about to step forward, I heard two voices saying at the same time: "No!"

It was Zhang Ziyu and Chang Qing.

I hurried a few steps up the steps, Eunuch Yu nodded and pushed the door open. As soon as I walked in, I saw Pei Yuanhao sitting behind the table, Chang Qing standing beside him, and Zhang Ziyu and several officials stood in front of the table.

If she was in the capital and the harem could not interfere in politics, Chang Qing would never have been here at this time. It was just that this was an extraordinary period. In addition, she had handled the last accident for Pei Yuanhao before, so she was also present now, but she was still very cautious after all. She just said that sentence and immediately realized that she shouldn't have, so she immediately lowered her head and took a step back.

Zhang Ziyu also glanced at her before turning around and said to General Deng, "This matter is not feasible."

General Deng was originally angry and immediately retorted, but when he thought that Chang Qing and Zhang Ziyu had just spoken to stop him, he had to take into account the queen's thin face, so he coughed lightly and said, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Ziyu said in a deep voice: "Doing this will only make the people think that we cannot protect them and cannot guard Linfen."

"What do they do so much?"

“…”

"These fools can't explain clearly to them, so it's better to simply and neatly solve them."

“…”

Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing couldn't help frowning slightly, but they didn't say anything. The other officials and generals also felt that his approach was not possible. Zhang Ziyu was still calmer at this time than when he just stopped him. He said slowly: "If you can't tell them clearly, you can't treat the common people with force, especially at this time. When we fight in the city, those outside the city can benefit the fisherman with the left hand. By that time - Yang Bo, the situation will be difficult to deal with."

General Deng wanted to say something, and then looked back at Pei Yuanhao, who was frowning deeply, and then breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Zhang Ziyu with a smile: "Mr. Zhang doesn't let me do this, have you thought of any good idea?"

“…”

This time, Zhang Ziyu did not speak, but looked at Pei Yuanhao with a puzzled look on his face.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the study was a little dull. After a long time, it was time to break the silence. Zhang Ziyu slowly said: "At this time, we must relax and moderately. We must resist the enemy outside the city stubbornly, and we can only comfort the people in the city and never be attacked from both sides."

"Please? How to comfort?"

“…”

He stopped again.

However, everyone present had a slight change in their eyes. Everyone subconsciously looked at Chang Qing, and Chang Qing herself seemed to remember something. She raised her head and said, "Last time, I had persuaded them, right?"

Zhang Ziyu hurriedly shook his head and said, "Empress, this time is different from last time. Moreover, the people's emotions are even more intense. I'm afraid the Empress is not easy to appease."

"That--"

Chang Qing hesitated for a moment, subconsciously turned her head to look at Pei Yuanhao who was sitting in the chair.

Everyone's eyes also saw Pei Yuanhao.

At this time, I immediately understood that everyone must be thinking that since the queen has come forward, now, the more difficult situation is that the emperor can come forward in person. After all, the doubts about him in the city are getting louder and louder. If he can come forward, he may be able to appease these ordinary people.

Chang Qing took a step forward and held one hand to the armrest of the chair.

Even General Deng was silent and did not compete with Zhang Ziyu anymore. Immediately, several civil servants hesitated and said softly: "Emperor..."

I immediately walked up and said, "No! Your Majesty cannot come forward."

They all turned around and saw me standing at the door. They were shocked. Chang Qing also frowned slightly and looked at me with a puzzled look.

When General Deng saw me coming forward, he immediately snorted coldly and turned his head to one side.

Zhang Ziyu nodded at me, and then said, "Miss Yan just said...no?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I realized that I had said what everyone was thinking but had not said yet. Seeing everyone's faces with a look of alert, I hurriedly said: "Oh, I mean, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time. If you don't think about it carefully, it will be easy for the enemy outside the city to take advantage of loopholes."

When I said this, everyone nodded.

After all, what has happened in recent days has made everyone realize that the actions in the city are being led by people outside the city. If this matter cannot be handled well, it will be completely controlled by others.

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a moment, and then said to the several deputy generals behind Zhang Ziyu, as well as General Deng, and others: "You can send some more people to go there, so you can't make them mess up, but you must remember, don't take action. Let me think about it again."

The officials looked at each other and immediately understood. General Deng lowered his head in a little frustrated, and everyone retreated one after another.

He went over Zhang Ziyu to order these people, and his attitude became very obvious. Zhang Ziyu looked up at him, and Pei Yuanhao said, "You go outside first, I will tell you later."

"yes."

After Zhang Ziyu withdrew, Chang Qing also took his leave. When she walked past me, she glanced at me and nodded gently.

When they all walked out, I still stood at the door without moving.

At this moment, Pei Yuanhao slowly raised his head and looked at me: "You just said, no?"

I then walked a few steps forward to the center of the study and said calmly: "Just just now, your Majesty, the Queen, and the Adults, are you all thinking about something?"

“…”

"This time, perhaps His Majesty can come forward to explain to the people and persuade them."

He asked without answering, "So you said, no?"

I said, "Absolutely not."

"Why?"

"Because, we must not make this decision rashly. This will not only allow the enemy outside the city to take advantage of loopholes, but also more likely, we will completely fall into their trap."

"What's the meaning?"

I said, "The song they asked to make a compilation and spread rumors into the city is to do something to shake the power of His Majesty and destroy the trust of the court."

"If I come forward-"

He said this, paused for a moment, a little glowed in his eyes, and he looked up at me.

I nodded gently.

I said, "Your Majesty is the emperor and the emperor. What you have to do is not to go to the battle in person to ride a horse or chat with people on the streets and alleys. Apart from the personal farming ceremony at the beginning of the year, it is impossible to always face the loess and face the sky; except for accepting Cha Bixing's complaints, it is impossible to go to the hall to hold a meeting every day. When Your Majesty was in the capital, he had already admitted his fault to billions of officials in the world. After coming to Linfen, the Empress also personally came forward to persuade the common people. Some things can never be repeated, or they can never be repeated!"

“…”

Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, but just looked at me with a slight flash of eyes.

I gritted my teeth and said, "If Your Majesty shows up again at this time, I will really respond to those words. The people will really think that Your Majesty has arrived - that step."

“…”

Although I didn't say it completely, I knew that he understood what I meant very much.

The more he is at this time, the more he has to remain stable, so that people cannot see that the emperor is really at the end of his journey. If he really comes forward to persuade the people, not only will the emperor's majesty collapse and be destroyed more and more due to frequent appearances, but it will even directly make the people suspect that the court's troops are not enough to protect Linfen City.

Pei Yuanhao leaned against the chair, gently rubbed the jade with one hand, and said, "What do you think I should do?"

“…”

I hesitated for a moment.

I was suddenly detained and called me, but I really didn't think about how to deal with it.

Pei Yuanhao looked at me silently for a while, and then said, "I also think you made sense just now, so I know what to do."
