Chapter 2846 Internal and External Troubles
Seeing Zhu Chengxuan looking at her with surprise, Nan Yan sighed and said, "The bodies in Yonghe Palace have been cleared out and people have been sent to identify them. Pang Hu is not among them."
"What?!"
Zhu Chengxuan frowned: "He, is not dead?!"
Nan Yan said in a deep voice: "That's right."
“…”
"Not only is he not dead, judging from what the palace gate guards discovered, he may not have left yet."
"ah?"
At this moment, Zhu Chengxuan's face changed.
You have to know that Pang Hu had Li Quan leading the way, and he led his troops into Yuehua Gate. If he is not dead and has not left, doesn't that mean that this person is still in the harem?!
Zhu Chengxuan hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"
Nan Yan said: "I have naturally sent people to look for it, but it has not been found yet."
“…”
“I don’t know where this person is hiding.”
“…”
"Until we find him, I can only send more people to increase the guards in each palace, but this is still not enough."
Zhu Chengxuan's back also felt a little numb.
A thief entered the harem and hid himself. No one knew when he would come back and take office.
This is even more troublesome than the rioters rushing into the palace.
Nan Yan then whispered, "Now, I don't know what this person is trying to do by hiding in the harem. What is his purpose? If he hurts your father, you, or anyone else, I will be held responsible."
Zhu Chengxuan frowned and said, "Then, what does your Majesty plan to do?"
Nan Yan glanced at him.
He was silent for a while, then said, "I plan to take your father, you, and your brothers and sisters out of the capital."
"What?"
When Zhu Chengxuan heard this, he couldn't believe his ears.
He looked at Nan Yan in surprise: "Your Majesty, what did you say? Leave the capital...for a while?"
Nan Yan looked at him: "Yeah."
Zhu Chengxuan took a deep breath and said nothing.
He couldn't believe that Nan Yan said this.
No matter how dangerous the capital was, no matter how cowardly he was, even at the most dangerous moment, Zhu Chengxuan never thought of escaping. In his opinion, although this imperial concubine was just a "woman", she had a stronger mind than himself and many men, which was why she could withstand such great pressure and take charge of the situation at such a critical moment.
On this point, he absolutely believed in Nan Yan.
But what was unexpected was that the person who said the four words "leave Beijing for a while" would be Nan Yan.
He looked at Nan Yan, was silent for a long time, and said, "My Lady, are you serious about this?"
Meeting his puzzled gaze, Nan Yan knew what was going on in His Highness Prince Wei's mind at the moment. She said calmly, "Of course. Even if Your Highness hadn't come just now, I was planning to find you and tell you about this."
What she said was - "say".
Rather than "discuss".
In other words, she had already made her decision and just wanted to inform herself.
Zhu Chengxuan was even more puzzled. He looked at Nan Yan, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "But why? Just because a little Pang Hu is hiding in the harem, and we don't know when he will pose a threat, we have to leave the capital? Isn't this really an exaggeration, Her Majesty?"
Nan Yan sighed and said, "I knew you would say that."
“…”
"But when I said I wanted to leave the capital, it wasn't because of Pang Hu, whose whereabouts are unknown."
"Um?"
Zhu Chengxuan was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Why else?"
Nan Yan said: "Also, the capital is facing an even greater crisis."
"A bigger crisis?"
These words made Zhu Chengxuan's face change. He thought for a moment and immediately said, "What crisis? Hasn't the crisis of the Nine Gates been resolved?"
Nan Yan glanced at him, sighed again, and repeated to him what Luo Qitong had said in the evening.
Zhu Chengxuan's heart sank.
"Still want to fight?!"
Nan Yan said, "I don't think the Neng Kingdom will give up so easily this time. They've used so many tricks, even colluding with the Earthly Immortal Society, a lowly incense society, just to try to steal your father's heart. Now that the enemy is at the gates, how can they just retreat so easily?"
“…”
"So, the next battle will be truly difficult."
Under the light, cold sweat broke out on Zhu Chengxuan's forehead.
He was not very knowledgeable about military affairs, but he had been exposed to the dangers of the city of Peking since he was a child. The previous Battle of Peking was just one of the countless wars he had witnessed in his teenage life.
However, even though he had witnessed so many wars, he could not guarantee that he would be able to witness the next one or the next one.
No one in the world is always victorious.
In addition, this time, Zhu Feng was seriously injured and unconscious - perhaps, this is the reason why the Kingdom of Neng dared to march its army south to attack the Kingdom of Yan again.
He knew that after his grandfather ascended the throne, he had killed countless generals who had followed him to conquer the world. As a result, in the later period, his own son was needed to guard the border. Zhu Feng was considered a capable fighter, but there were not many generals trained by the court at the same time as him.
Another person who can be considered famous is his uncle Xu Shifeng, who has been fighting with Zhu Feng since the Prince of Yan was stationed in Peking.
But he is in the South now.
Back then, Ashige was only the King of Beili, and the troops he could mobilize were limited, but he still had an army of 400,000 heading south. But now, the one who wants to attack them is Monk, the king of the Neng Kingdom, and his momentum this time is likely to be even greater.
Zhu Chengxuan's scalp tingled. After a long pause, he finally said, "So, Your Majesty intends to have everyone in the palace leave the capital?"
Nan Yan took a deep breath and said, "This is the best solution to the internal and external troubles."
“…”
Zhu Chengxuan frowned and didn't speak immediately.
In fact, he was not proficient in military affairs.
However, even if he was not proficient in military affairs, he had read history books and he knew very well how much damage would be done to his own army if the commander-in-chief deserted the battlefield when two armies were at war.
But they are not the main generals.
They are the backbone of the entire Yan State.
Even if Zhu Feng is unconscious and unable to preside over government affairs, as long as he is still here, the people believe that the court's army will defend the capital to protect him, and they will be safe in the capital.
In this way, the people will be united.
Many times, wars are fought for the hearts and minds of the people.
However, if they left, not to mention the civilians, the morale of the defenders would be disrupted, and they would be able to guess the outcome of the battle without even having to fight.
so--
If I can think of it, how could Nan Yan not think of it?
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said softly: "My Lady, do you really think this is the solution to the problem?"
