There is a rare scene in Beijing, and it is rare that all the civil and military officials are so united. First, although everyone's wealth and life are entrusted to King Zhao and Lord Hao, the second is to reward him according to his merits. '

Driven by interests, everyone seems to work hard at least. For example, Zhou Lifan, the Minister of War, did not sleep all night and was always in Chaoyang Gate. At midnight, someone circulated a message saying that His Highness Zhao was looking for him. Zhou Lifan had no resistance. When he went there, he deliberately kicked the snow with his boots to teach himself to dye more "dust" and show his diligence.

He had unconsciously regarded King Zhao as his superior, so naturally this psychological change had his wishful thinking, but he had to say that this was a good start.

In fact, he can pretend, Zhu Gaosui can pretend, and Zhu Gaosui is not for them to show it, but will teach people to "speak to heaven" in the future. This battle of defense in Beijing is a good opportunity. According to Hao Fenglou, he must save enough political capital. As a prince, being able to do or not is actually one thing. The most important thing is attitude, so whether you do things well or not is actually not very important in this era, because things are always done. The so-called cunning rabbit dies, and a lackey is cooked. No matter how capable you are, it may not be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The most important thing is to show your own "loyalty in the country, loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness."

When Zhou Lifan saw Zhu Gaosui, he saw that Zhu Gaosui's clothes were tired and his eyes were as big as a panda. He hadn't been asleep for a long time. Not only did he have a big bag, but his body also had a strange smell. He must have not even taken care of his hygiene. During the dog days, Zhu Gaosui's boots were stained with mud and water. The mud and water had dried up, and he looked very sloppy.

After seeing this, Zhou Lifan understood. He looked at Zhu Gaosui deeply and said in his heart that he had heard that His Highness King Zhao was usually unrestrained, without any scheming, and confused. Now it seems that rumors in the market are not trustworthy. His Highness King Zhao also seems to have a strong heart, and it seems that he is not a good person.

This kind of good person does not refer to the good or bad of morality; the more Zhou Lifan "sees" King Zhao, the more he feels, he will be a little impressed. He can be so tolerant of being a human being, and this "confused prince" is so at the extreme that he only knows the crown prince and the King of Han, but not the extent of being a person like Zhao. It can be seen how deep the King of Zhao is.

"It's not simple, it's not simple. Now it seems that King Zhao is afraid that the one who can really threaten the prince is above the King of Han." Zhou Lifan couldn't help but feel a little worried. King Zhao seemed to be ambitious, and he didn't know what the court in the future would look like.

Also sitting next to Zhu Gaosui was Hao Fenglou.

Hao Fenglou naturally looked like he was exhausted. As the spy leader, he couldn't even show off, which was really unreasonable. So this guy also looked tired and covered in mud. The three of them here didn't expect that they all had their shirts. Everyone had a disgusting face and a very sloppy non-mainstream image, which was quite interesting.

When Zhu Gaosui saw him, he was naturally amiable and said, "Mr. Zhou, I invite you here today, because I have something to entrust you."

When Zhou Lifan heard this, he cheered up and said, "Your Highness just want to give orders."

Zhu Gaosui looked at Hao Fenglou, coughed, and deliberately slowed down his speech. This was what Hao Fenglou taught him. This was how he seemed steady and even more interested in scholars. After a long time, he said lightly: "There are more than 5,000 mules and horses registered in the household registration in the city. I think there are more than 5,000 mules and horses. I think there are no more than entries in the book, but now it is necessary to recruit. As the military cost of defending the city, the situation is urgent and cannot be delayed for a moment. It must be recruited within twelve hours. This matter is not easy. After thinking about it, I think that Lord Zhou must be."

Zhou Lifan's face was flushed. It was just a mother-in-law who gave me credit for no reason. What's the point of recruiting military supplies? Beijing City has become like this. If you continue with an order, who dares not hand over the mules and horses in your home? But as long as you have something to do, the credit is real. Now everyone is not hiding from the matter, but afraid that there will be no order. When the reward is given on merit, even if you pity you and want to give you some sweetness, you will not find any name.

"This matter is not easy..." Zhou Lifan Jiang was so hot, she stroked her goatee's beard and shook her head, and said lightly: "It's nothing to requisition. There will be no problem with the materials. But for a while, I'm afraid it's difficult. Now that I'm not equipped with enough manpower, I'm just cooking without rice."

After all, King Zhao was young, so how could he know that Zhou Lifan deliberately said the difficulties first, and finally put on a big deal. Even if he was fighting for the old bones, he would show his determination not to be afraid of difficulties and the great contribution. Zhu Gaosui was about to say that if there was insufficient manpower, I would consider it and find some people. However, Hao Fenglou on the side heard the meaning of Zhou Lifan, the old fox. Hao Fenglou said first: "Mr. Zhou said so much. This matter is indeed not easy, so Your Highness entrusts Master Zhou. He also hopes that Master Zhou can think about the safety of the capital, and he must overcome all difficulties and recruit the mules and horses needed in the army no matter what."

This is the same song and harmony. Zhou Lifan wanted this effect. He glanced at Hao Fenglou, nodded slightly, and his impression of Hao Fenglou changed greatly. He immediately patted his chest and promised: "When it comes to this, what else can the lower official say? His Highness Zhao's dispatch involves the safety of Beijing. Even if he has fought his life, the lower official dare not neglect it. Let's give up... Now, we can only overcome all obstacles and take out our life to share the difficulties with His Highness and Lord Hao. It's not time for me. This matter will be done immediately. Your Highness, the lower official will say goodbye first."

This guy really looked like he was going to climb a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, and he looked like he was trying hard. Before leaving, he couldn't help asking: "But he didn't know what the recruitment of mules and horses are doing?"

It was just a casual question, but Zhou Lifan was too lazy to pay attention to this now.

Unexpectedly, King Zhao said: "I am ready to make a decisive battle with the Tatars and the Oirats..."

When Zhou Lifan heard this, he almost knelt down. The decisive battle... Damn... Is it really going to a decisive battle? Isn't this arbitrary death?

He suddenly had a premonition that he was facing two madmen at all...

He was about to say something, but when he saw the King of Zhao and Hao Fenglou Zhizhu holding each other, he shook his head in his heart. Such a person was afraid that he would not be able to speak, and he would die together, so he said goodbye.

As soon as Zhou Lifan left, Hao Fenglou cursed behind his back: "This old fox."

Zhu Gaosui said: "I think he seems to be quite capable, and there is nothing wrong with his answers."

Hao Fenglou smiled and said Zhou Lifan’s little thoughts just now. After hearing this, Zhu Gaosui couldn’t help but touch his forehead and said, “I thought he was a loyal and honest person, so he was so cunning.”

Hao Fenglou looked at Zhu Gaosui deeply and said, "Your Highness, there is no loyalty in the temple. Zhou Lifan is nothing. Your Highness will encounter more people and more things in the future, but you must keep your eyes open in the future. People may not want to plot against Your Highness, nor may they be harmful to Your Highness, but your heart is as clear as a mirror, and it is better to be able to see people's hearts than to be blinded."

Zhu Gaosui laughed and said, "I will do it if I have you."

Hao Fenglou just shook his head and said, "There seems to be some intricate points in the decisive strategy of leaving the city. Your Highness, let's discuss it again."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

With Zhou Lifan's efforts, thousands of mules and horses were quickly collected. Zhou Lifan was naturally trying to fight for his life. After one day, he only ate some pastries and handed over his errands. He was so tired that he was about to fall apart. This time he was really exhausted, but his situation was jealous of many people, and he was afraid that he would do nothing now.

However, this time, the Oirat and the Tatars did not attack the city. This time, the Oirats lost so many elite troops, so they naturally refused to waste their troops. However, the Tatars were also cautious. The Tatars suffered heavy losses. How could they repeat the same mistake? As long as they did not lose their troops, the initiative was in their own hands. If they pressed their bets up, wouldn’t it be foolish. So both sides asked the other side to send troops, and it took a day to finally agree that tomorrow, everyone would dispatch their troops to attack the Nine Gates of Beijing. As long as the city was broken, there would be a chance.

This matter was settled. When night fell, even the campfires of more than ten miles were lit, as bright as daylight. At Chaoyang Gate, an emergency meeting was held. King Zhao Zhu Gaosui looked at the generals in the army and said, "Although Chaoyang Gate is a great victory, the Oirat and Tatars are still strong and strong, and there are many old and weak in the city. If they attack the city tomorrow and the next day, we will be out of the situation. Therefore, the survival of Beijing will be tonight, will you be willing to go out of the city with me?"

After hearing this, everyone did not dare to neglect and said, "I hope to serve your nobles for your work."

Zhu Gaosui was very pretentious and raised his head thirty-five degrees, and said in the tone that Hao Fenglou taught him in advance: "This is not to serve me, but to serve the emperor, to serve the people, to the country, to serve the foundation of our ancestors. In this battle, I will take the lead..."

He looked at Hao Fenglou and continued, "Mr. Hao, my husband, everyone, tonight, we are brothers and sisters, and we do not seek to live together, but to die together."
