From eunuch to emperor

Chapter 860 The anger

Kong Ji followed Ma Fang into the palace in a hurry, walked into the main hall, and saw Shi Le sitting on the throne with a dark face, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and his hands were tightly grasping the armrest of the throne, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour .

In the hall stood Shi Haoran, the eldest son, Shi Yuncheng, the second prince, Lu Qichang, the privy envoy, Fu Yong, the general of the hussars, Li Chenglie, the envoy of the commanding army, Wen Qining, the secretary of the household department, and Si Leyu, the Duzhi.

Everyone stood respectfully with their heads slightly lowered, not daring to look at Shi Le.

The atmosphere was very oppressive, and he even breathed slowly, for fear that the sound of his breathing would offend Shi Le.

Monk Kong Ji walked to the first seat on the left and stood there, looked at the people standing there, and asked, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Kong Ji asked, breaking the silence in the hall, and everyone dared to look up at Shi Le on the throne.

Shi Le's eyes fell on Kong Ji, with anger and accusation on his face, he said coldly: "Zhenguo Temple fell, your junior brother Deshan was beheaded by Long Chengen, and lost 20 troops!"

hiss...

Kong Ji was stunned, and the other people in the hall were also shocked.

They only received an imperial decree to go to the main hall to discuss matters, but they didn't know what was discussed.

After entering the main hall, seeing Shi Le's dark face, they didn't dare to ask.

They didn't know what happened until Shi Le spoke.

"How... how could this happen?"

Kong Ji couldn't help but said.

Shi Le's teeth were crackling, he was holding back, holding back not to scold Kong Ji.

Deshan presumptuously advocates attacking Jade Buddha Pass, and will be attacked by Long Chen in the end.

Deshan came from Zhaoti Temple and is the junior brother of Monk Kong Ji, but this matter has nothing to do with Kong Ji, and it is not Kong Ji who did it.

However, Shi Le just wanted to find someone to vent and curse!

"This king also wants to know why this happened. When this king left Zhenguo Temple, he made it very clear, just let him guard it, and don't act rashly."

"This king has repeatedly said that Long Chengen is full of tricks, and if we make any moves, he will take advantage of the loopholes and we will have an opportunity to take advantage of."

"This king has said so much, but in the end, Deshan still made his own claims, and actually attacked Jade Buddha Pass with all his strength."

"Long Cheng'en attacked Zhenguo Temple again, and succeeded again!"

"20, 20 soldiers and horses are gone!"

Shi Le stood up abruptly, pointed at Kong Ji and yelled loudly.

Monk Kong Ji looked at the furious Shi Le, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He didn't feel aggrieved, nor did he defend himself, but just looked at Shi Le coldly and accused him.

Deshan is dead?Zhenguo Temple is gone?20 soldiers lost?

At this time, Kong Ji had the appearance of Deshan being killed in his mind...

The others didn't speak, and stared blankly at Shi Le.

"Say it, you're all dumb!"

Shi Le turned his head and cursed at the others.

Everyone moved their bodies, took a few quick breaths, and then fell silent again, without speaking.

The hall fell into silence again...

Eunuch Ma Fang quietly stood beside the throne, like a clay sculpture, neither moving nor speaking.

Finally, the eldest son Shi Haoran said: "Father, the Zhenguo Temple has fallen, and the east side of my Great Xia is wide open. If Long Chengen takes the opportunity to attack, the hinterland of my Great Xia will not be guaranteed."

"Also, Long Cheng'en can attack Panhe Palace from Zhenguo Temple to the south, father..."

Shi Le liked his Panhe Palace very much. Hearing this, Shi Le became a little more rational.

Sitting back on the throne again, Shi Le closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then let it out from his mouth long.

"Give a seat to the national teacher."

Shi Le sighed slightly, and Ma Fang immediately moved a chair, and invited Monk Kongji to sit down.

Kong Ji sat down slowly.

After being scolded by Shi Le, Kong Ji didn't get angry. He slowly came back to his senses and began to think about how to deal with it.

It is said that Long Chen's words of destroying Xixia are deceitful, but now it seems that it is not.

Long Chen really intends to exterminate Xixia, and has already done so.

Zhenguo Temple suddenly disappeared, the east gate was wide open, and there was no danger to the east of Xixia.

How to do...

"Tell me, how to deal with it."

Shi Le felt a headache.

The others didn't speak, they all looked at Monk Kong Ji.

Kong Ji said: "Your Majesty, the Zhen Guo Temple has fallen, what is the current situation?"

Everyone only knows that Zhenguo Temple fell, Deshan died, and the loss was great.

Nothing else is known.

How did Long Chen attack Zhenguo Temple, how many soldiers and horses he brought, how many generals came, have Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi arrived?

After Long Chen captured Zhenguo Temple, did he occupy Zhenguo Temple?

Where are the defeated soldiers now?

None of these things are clear.

Shi Le turned to Ma Fang and said, "Where is the messenger?"

Ma Fang said: "Wait outside the palace."

After Ma Fang learned from the messenger that Zhenguo Temple had been defeated, she asked the messenger to wait at the door.

He knew that Shi Le might want to ask about the situation.

"Let him in."

Shi Le ordered, and Ma Fang trotted out the door immediately.

After a while, a messenger came in, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shi Le, saying, "Captain Li Liu of Tieyaozi pays homage to the king."

Shi Le said coldly: "Tell me about the situation in Zhenguo Temple."

This messenger is the school lieutenant under Ma Xing.

Li Liu, Lieutenant of Tieyaozi, explained the situation at that time in detail, and everyone listened carefully...

"That's what happened."

After Li Liu finished speaking, he prostrated himself on the ground again, not daring to raise his head.

Shi Le looked at Monk Kong Ji.

Kong Ji sighed slightly: "Junior Brother..."

The privy envoy Lu Qichang scolded: "Long Chengen is too cunning, I always thought he was playing with the princess in the capital, but I didn't expect to suddenly appear in Jade Buddha Pass."

The hussar general Fu Yong behind him stroked his long beard and said, "I'm afraid this guy has been lurking in Jade Buddha Pass for a long time, just waiting for Master Deshan to send troops."

Hussar General Fu Yong had a long beard that reached to his abdomen, a bit like Guan Yu, but he was fair-skinned and tall, a handsome man from Xixia.

The eldest son Shi Haoran felt strange when he heard this, and asked the captain Li Liu: "Captain Li, you said that Zhenguo Temple has [-] guards, so why did Long Chengen suddenly appear on the top of the mountain?"

"Could it be that the Long family's army has grown wings and flew up?"

Shi Le and Kong Ji didn't understand either, they had seen Zhenguo Temple before, it was built like an iron barrel.

With [-] troops guarding the mountain, it is almost impossible to forcibly break into Zhenguo Temple.

Not to mention appearing on the top of the mountain without anyone noticing.

Captain Li Liu said in embarrassment: "My lords, I don't even know. We are all very surprised why Long Chengen can go up."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why.

At this time, Kong Ji spoke.

"Long Cheng'en has already made preparations. He dug a secret passage under the mountain of Zhenguo Temple, and sneaked into Zhenguo Temple through the secret passage."

Monk Kongji finally figured it out.

Shi Le frowned and said: "Impossible, if he dug the secret passage, we will definitely find it when we build the fortification."

Monk Kong Ji smiled wryly and said: "Long Cheng'en is very thoughtful, he must have expected that we will build a fortress, and his secret way must be very deep and very secret."

"Last year, he captured Zhenguo Temple and built some houses and temples on the mountain."

"We didn't have any money at the time, so we left it without demolishing it. If the poor monk's predictions are correct, he sneaked to the top of the mountain through those houses."

"This guy predicts that we have no money, and predicts that we will keep those houses."

"He was ready last year, just waiting for the right time."

"We've been beaten!"

After hearing this, Shi Le was filled with remorse.

At that time, we should not be greedy for cheap, we should have demolished the house and rebuilt it.

At that time, he was thinking of using the money to build the Panhe Palace, so that he could save a little on the Zhenguo Temple.

It was because of this that he fell into Long Chen's trap.

"Hi!"

Shi Le suddenly raised his hand and patted the armrest, full of regret.

Everyone shook their heads and scolded Long Chen for being too deceitful.

"Father, it's done. It's useless to talk too much. We have to think about how to take back Zhenguo Temple."

The second prince Shi Yuncheng saw that everyone was scolding Long Chen, it was useless to do so.

The most important thing to consider at this time is how to take back Zhenguo Temple.

Shi Le asked, "What is the strategy of the national teacher?"
