Chapter 250

He stood motionless, but a murderous atmosphere permeated his body.

Behind him, the civil and military officials were discussing, their faces solemn, and an atmosphere of a coming storm permeated the entire Jin Luan Hall.

The peace faction and the war faction were clearly divided. Everyone knew that today's morning court would decide the future fate of Da Qian.

Soon, Wu Zhao wore a golden dragon robe and walked out from the side, heading toward the dragon chair.

She spoke directly to the officials, "The situation is urgent, I will keep it short, Da Qian's situation is critical!"

"Prince Wu and Longguan defender Xue Yi colluded with Great Chu, and Great Chu's hundreds of thousands of troops have silently sneaked into our Da Qian's hinterland, pointing their swords at Changan."

"Within three days at most, they will be at the city gates. Do you ministers have a strategy to repel the enemy?"

Wu Zhao swept her phoenix eyes over the officials and threw out this explosive news.

Almost instantly.

The entire Jin Luan Hall was like a pot exploding, and the faces of the civil and military officials changed in unison.

Even Gao Tianlong looked solemn. Xue Yi rebelled, Prince Wu colluded with Chu Kingdom, and over one hundred thousand troops were about to be at the city gates.

Changan was caught off guard, and the interior was empty.

How to fight this battle?

He was even somewhat fortunate that Gao Yang had left, otherwise, in the face of such a situation, he would just be one more corpse.

Lu Zhen was full of killing intent, unable to help but curse, "These two traitors, they had better not fall into this old man's hands, otherwise this old man will have to squeeze their baskets until they explode!"

Lu Zhen's face was full of hatred, killing intent permeated, and his back teeth were aching from clenching.

Wu Zhao said in a deep voice, "Old General Lu, saying this now is meaningless. The urgent matter at hand is how to repel the enemy. You have been on the battlefield for a long time, do you have the confidence to repel the enemy?"

Lu Zhen thought of the huge disparity in military strength and said helplessly, "This subject feels that for Changan, there is only one way to hold on and wait for reinforcements!"

The Minister of the Supreme Court, Lu Wen, heard this and stood out.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Prince Wu and Xue Yi colluded with Great Chu, allowing the Great Chu army to pass our Da Qian's number one majestic pass silently. Now Changan is empty and difficult to defend. This old minister feels that we should strategically retreat."

The so-called strategic retreat is just running away, it just sounds better.

Wu Zhao's face was cold, and her gaze looked at Da Qian's Chancellor Xu Xuanji, "Does Chancellor Xu have any brilliant ideas?"

Xu Xuanji was named and could only stand out and bite the bullet, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject supports Minister Lu's strategic retreat."

The Minister of War, Wang Hao, also stood out and said, "This subject agrees!"

"This subject agrees!"

"This subject agrees!"

Except for a few military generals like Lu Zhen, most of the civil officials in the court echoed one after another.

For a time, the overwhelming sound wave attacked Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao held the armrest of the dragon chair with her jade hand, her heart sinking.

But she looked at the officials and said word by word: "What if I don't want to leave, and I insist on fighting the Chu army?"

The words fell.

The officials were horrified, but then a larger sound wave attacked.

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

"This move is too dangerous!"

"The sages say, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Knowing that it cannot be done and still doing it is a great taboo!"

"If Your Majesty insists on fighting this battle, this old minister can only hit his head and die on this hall. If I can use my blood to make Your Majesty wake up in time, what is there to fear in death?"

For a time, Wu Zhao's words were like poking a hornet's nest.

The officials spoke in unison, their faces full of righteousness.

Some censors were even willing to die.

Wu Zhao was also angry. In her eyes, this was forcing the palace.

It was fortunate that Prince Rong was dead. If Prince Rong were not dead, she would not even have half a say.

She suddenly sat up straight, her face full of anger, "What kind of bullshit strategic retreat, it's just like a dog being chased and killed by the Chu army!"

"Today, my mind is made up. Hold on to Changan and fight the Chu army to the end. Those who discuss otherwise, behead!"

Wu Zhao did not retreat at all. For a time, the entire Jin Luan Hall was in a confrontation.

Lu Wen, Xu Xuanji, Wang Hao, and other ministers also felt a headache.

They received news that the "Living Yama" had run away, which shows the severity of the situation. Staying here is no different from nine deaths and one life.

It just so happens that Wu Zhao refuses to retreat to Jiangnan.

But just at this moment, the eunuch's voice sounded.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Junior Official of the Ministry of Revenue Gao Yang requests an audience outside the hall!"
