The young eunuch knelt down as soon as he entered the room.
"The six ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works request an urgent meeting."
Emperor Wu of Liang glanced at Bai Hong, then turned back to look at the young eunuch with a sullen face.
"Xuan!"
It has never happened before that six ministries requested an audience at the same time.
Could there be some trouble again?
A moment later, the six ministers knelt in unison before Emperor Wu of Liang.
Emperor Wu of Liang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping across the faces of the six ministers.
"What is it?!"
The six ministers tilted their heads slightly and looked at each other.
Minister of Revenue Chai Yuanyu took a deep breath and raised his upper body slightly.
"Your Majesty, someone saw General Bai, seriously injured, being carried from the General's Mansion into the palace."
"I heard that blood was spilled all over the place. Now people in the capital are in a panic. Everyone is very concerned about General Bai's condition."
"We are worried about General Bai's condition, so..."
Even when he left the court, Bai Hong was still full of energy.
How come the emperor's men followed him to the general's mansion and Bai Hong was seriously injured?
This is a serious matter. Without Bai Hong stationed in the capital, they might as well surrender directly. Why bother fighting?
The other five ministers listened to Chai Yuanyu's words and nodded.
That’s right, they also want to know what Bai Hong’s current situation is.
Emperor Wu of Liang glanced coldly at the six ministers.
"Lord Bai is not in danger of death, but his family has been abducted by the rebels."
"Given the current situation, do you think Bai Hong can still lead the troops to fight?"
Everyone in the capital knows how protective Bai Hong is of his people.
Bai Hong is a very ruthless person. Not only is his wife an orphan, but even his daughter-in-law is an orphan.
He wanted to threaten Bai Hong with Bai's in-laws, but there was no threat at all.
Oh, by the way, Bai Hong himself is also an orphan, and he has reached his current position step by step through his hard work.
And the only military commander that Bai Hong has his eyes on is an orphan and a bachelor.
This time, all the members of the Bai family were abducted by the rebels, and Emperor Wu of Liang no longer had Bai Hong as a hostage.
The reason why he did not suspect that the Bai family would rebel was because Bai Hong's son did not join the army, nor did he take the path of a civil servant.
After Bai Hong died, Bai Xu posed no threat to him at all.
But it was precisely because the Bai family had no weaknesses that could be exploited that he was always uneasy.
He didn't dare to force such a person. If he pushed someone too hard, he wouldn't be able to stop him from rebelling.
When the six ministers heard that Bai Hong was not in danger of death, they immediately felt relieved.
Minister of War Wu Feng frowned.
"Your Majesty, the only one in the capital who can stand against the rebels right now is General Bai Hong."
"I think General Bai's family was abducted by the rebels in order to threaten General Bai."
Wu Feng paused, raised his head slightly and glanced at Emperor Wu of Liang.
"Then we can also use the Xiao family's in-laws to threaten the Xiao family."
"I heard that Lord Lin's daughter, Lin Yiran, and Xiao Yunzhan have a very good relationship. Xiao Yunzhan even appointed a mere woman as a female general. This shows that Xiao Yunzhan is very kind and values women very much."
"When the time comes, have someone tie Lord Lin up on the city gate tower. When Xiao Yunzhan sees that his father-in-law is in our hands, he definitely won't dare to attack the Bai family."
Wu Feng finished speaking these words in one breath, with beads of sweat already covering his forehead.
Hearing that Emperor Wu of Liang didn't say a word for a long time, he lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to breathe.
None of the other five ministers said anything against Wu Feng's proposal.
There are few people in Beijing who don't dislike Lin Shuwen.
Everyone thinks it's okay to sacrifice one person for the happiness of thousands of families.
Emperor Wu of Liang thought for a moment.
He was worried that Lin Shuwen didn't mean that much to Lin Yiran.
A married woman should obey her husband. A married woman will put her husband first.
"Okay, bring all of Zheng Shiqi's concubines to the city gate tower."
I heard that Zheng Shiqi values these concubines very much, maybe they can play a role.
Wu Feng's mouth twitched twice, and he tried to persuade her.
"Your Majesty, it's better not to bring those concubines up with you."
"Yes." Chai Yuanyu helplessly followed up with persuasion, "If Zheng Shiqi had taken a fancy to those concubines, he would not have left them behind when he escaped."
"It's a pity that Zheng Shiqi's most beloved son died."
Emperor Wu of Liang also felt that something was wrong.
"That....."
"Son---Madam!" Bai Hong in the room yelled at the top of his voice, interrupting Emperor Wu of Liang directly.
"I'm going to kill Xiao Yunzhan!"
"You bastard, how dare you kidnap my family? I am irreconcilable with the Xiao family and we are sworn enemies..."
“Ahhhh!!”
"General Bai, you can't be so excited." Wei Jiquan, who had been guarding Bai Hong, hurried forward and held Bai Hong down, trying to persuade him anxiously.
"Let go! I'm going to rush out of the city right now to save my wife."
With a "bang", Bai Hong walked out of the house covered in blood.
The six ministers stared at Bai Hong, who was covered in blood, in shock. They quickly stood up and tried to persuade him.
"General Bai, don't get excited. You need to recover from your injuries before you can fight the rebels."
"Yes, first heal your wounds, and then we can consider everything in the long run."
"We have Lin Yiran's father in our hands. The rebels won't dare to attack your family..."
“…”
Emperor Wu of Liang looked at the people fighting in a group and his temples throbbed with anger.
