Chapter 284
Fang Zilan woke up very early this day, and put on her court clothes meticulously after washing.There was still some time before the morning morning, so she walked around the courtyard.

The courtyard is lush and lush, the walls are covered with green vines, and the vines are adorned with unknown small flowers. At first glance, it looks like it is wearing a thick green robe, and the courtyard is covered from top to bottom.

The weather in summer is unavoidably sweltering, and the court clothes are heavy, covering Fang Zilan's body with fine sweat. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and clicked, "It's really hot."

"Boss, it's time for breakfast." Deputy General Cao yelled at her from under the eaves, and A Wan also came out from the front hall to greet her: "It's a hot day, what are you doing standing outside? Come in!"

Fang Zilan looked back at them, hooked her lips and said with a light smile: "This is it."

A Wan was stunned in place, this was the first time she saw Fang Zilan wearing a court dress, and the crimson robe with a cage crown was indescribably amazing.It is neither as straight as official uniforms nor as gorgeous as New Year's opera costumes. It is a completely different kind of luxury.

"What's wrong?" Fang Zilan walked in front of her, reached out and pinched her face, and then she realized, "It's nothing."

Fang Zilan didn't understand, so Deputy General Cao couldn't help laughing, "Miss Awan is dumbfounded."

"What?" Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and Deputy General Cao praised: "Boss is really suitable for court clothes, and he has the quality of a dragon and a phoenix, which is beyond words."

"Old Cao, where did you learn the words?" Fang Zilan shook her head helplessly, and reminded: "It's fine in front of me and A Wan, and you must never say that in front of outsiders."

Vice General Cao nodded hurriedly, followed them to the front hall for breakfast, and then Fang Zilan entered the palace.

On weekdays, Fang Zilan has been handling official business in the government office, and has never shown up in the court, so it is the first time to enter the court, which inevitably attracts a lot of attention.

But when Li Shengxuan appeared, those eyes that were originally focused on her, naturally dispersed.

The affairs of the court were discussed as usual, but it was still the Miluo people's large-scale invasion that caused the people to argue endlessly and cause an uproar.The main peace faction claimed that if they did not seek peace, they might let the Miluo people invade the capital.

Just when the two parties were arguing, there was only a bang, and Li Shengxuan threw all the memorials on the case in front of everyone, and the hall was immediately extremely quiet.

I just heard him sneering at every word: "Your family has been arguing for several days, not to mention the result of the dispute, it is a different argument. I have never heard of it. What a group of humerus ministers, very good .”

"Your Majesty, please appease your anger." Everyone said it with sincerity and fear, and they all bowed to pay respects. Only Fang Zilan still stood upright, which was particularly eye-catching among the crowd.

"Duke Yue, you invited yourself to the court, saying that you want to discuss this matter with all the nobles." Li Shengxuan's eyes fell on her, and he said without anger: "I don't know what is the best opinion?"

"I can't talk about high opinions." Fang Zilan walked up to the crowd without being humble or arrogant, and said in a solemn voice: "I invite you to go to the southern border to fight against the Miluo people and stick to Qiluo City."

"What did you say?" Li Shengxuan stared fixedly at the people below, only to see her looking up, "The disaster in the southeast has only been healed not long ago, and the people still need to recuperate. The only solution is to delay."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was whispering and commotion, but she didn't realize it, and continued on her own, "If I can defend Qiluo City, I can buy time for everyone in the court and find another way Furthermore, if the Miluo people attack Qiluo City for a long time, not only will their morale be greatly frustrated, but they may also take a detour to the east or west. Once the battle line is stretched, they will not be able to delay. Over time, they can only Retreat back."

Seeing that Li Shengxuan was speechless for a long time, Wei Subaru stood up and said coldly: "What Mr. Fang said is a good idea, you can try it."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up and retorted: "Duke Wei's words are wrong. He has captured many cities in just a few days. It can be seen that he has been prepared for a long time. Even the Duke of Yue can defend Qiluo How long is the city?"

Hearing the words, Fang Zilan looked back at the speaker, her eyes were deep, "Hearing Master Xu's words, it seems that he has a well-thought-out plan. If there is a better way to defeat the enemy, you might as well say it and ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

Frightened by her gaze, Master Xu couldn't help but froze in place, but Li Shengxuan still didn't speak, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "There's no way to retreat the enemy, but if you ask the Miluo people for peace now, don't you?" Can be negotiated on condition..."

"What conditions?" Fang Zilan interrupted him in a cold voice, and raised his voice to ask: "Is it the land for compensation, or the tribute every year?"

Master Xu couldn't help shivering, and tremblingly said: "No matter what the conditions are, at least the people can be saved from the suffering of war. If there is a chance in the future, it will not be too late to rebuild the country."

"According to Master Xu, those who have died under the iron hooves of Miluo, ranging from generals and soldiers to common people, have their blood been shed in vain?" Fang Zilan said in a cold voice, "Xu My lord's method is only for the present, and the country will never be restored in future generations, how is it different from drinking poison to quench thirst?"

Mr. Xu took a step back at what she said, and most of the other people in the hall were timid and did not dare to step forward to speak out. Only Fang Chongzheng raised his eyelids, looked at the resolute figure, and said in his heart that it really is so. I sighed, I couldn't tell what it was like with mixed feelings.

Wei Subaru stared closely at Fang Zilan, who stood tall and unflinching in front of the crowd, and suddenly there was a kind of heroic spirit in his chest that he would fight against thousands of people.He suppressed his emotions and looked at other places calmly. His eyes happened to meet Zhuge Ming on the other side for a short time. When their eyes met, they both read a tacit relief from each other's eyes.

This group of old foxes in the court, no matter whether they are the peacemakers or the main fighters, are like a mirror in their hearts. If no one stands up, they can only wait for General Shen from the southeast camp to arrive and drag the Miluo people for a while For a while, let them take a breath, so that they can have some confidence whether they are seeking peace or fighting.

But no matter how loud their small calculations are, General Shen must be able to hold back.Therefore, someone secretly wrote a letter earlier to recommend Wei Subaru to go to the southern border, but once Wei Subaru leaves Beijing, whose hands will the camp in the suburbs of Beijing fall into?Nothing more than his brothers.Li Shengxuan knew that many of the Wei family's children were fiercely fighting among themselves, so even though Wei Subaru asked Ying to speak up, he might not agree.

Regardless of Wei Subaru and the immovable generals on the frontier, those who are good at fighting are worthy of use. At a distance, there is Xiahou Yunzhao, and at a distance, there is Fang Zilan.Li Shengxuan knows better than anyone how much blood and tears are hidden behind Xiahou's family staying in the old land of Baiyue.

It's not that Li Shengxuan didn't call, but he didn't dare to call at will.In this kind of near-death situation, if you don't have a mortal heart and a little bit of luck, it is impossible to buy time for the court. It is just a meaningless sacrifice, which will only increase the loss.

What's more, the people in the household department almost wrote the words "no money and can't stand the toss" on their faces. Who would dare to act rashly?This is how these days when the court deliberations are like quarrels in the market.Fang Zilan took the initiative to stand up and let them breathe a sigh of relief.

Fang Zilan's expression was fierce, she turned her gaze away from them, but looked up at Li Shengxuan, and said in a loud voice: "I know that the Miluo people came here this time, they are not kind, they will affect the whole body, and I dare not ask Your Majesty to give me troops to fight back But the military situation is urgent, and if the Miluo people's offensive cannot be stopped, it may not be known if they will come straight at the capital like a rainbow, and it will be too late to say anything by then."

She paused, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a confident and free-spirited smile appeared on her face, "Fang Zilan is not talented, but at least she is also the one who conquered the Gilded City. Since I was able to do things that no general of the past dynasties has ever done , so now I want to overestimate my strength, stick to Qiluo City, and fight for your Majesty and the adults for ten days and a half months."

After she finished speaking, she smiled, and solemnly knelt on one knee and said: "Fang Zilan, I would like to issue a military order here, vowing to live and die with Qiluo City. I live with the city, and I will destroy the city."

 It's finally time to go to the battlefield...
