But if you are unlucky and the imperial city is defiled by those Yan troops during the attack... I am afraid that you will not be able to control your life or death, and you will have to endure thousands of people riding on top of you. Life and death are worse than death.

In addition, there are only one third of the ministers left in the hall.

At this time, they can still come to court, which shows that most of them are loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Now that the country is about to perish, their hearts are probably about to collapse.

In short, the entire hall was filled with gloom and gloom...

"Your Majesty, I have a method that you can try!"

Suddenly, a voice resounded through the entire hall, echoing in the hall, lingering in the ears, and at the same time it seemed very abrupt.

The ministers, Emperor Chen, and Concubine You couldn't help but shout out.

It turns out that the person who said this was none other than Zhu Xiuyuan!

He thought hard and spent countless brain cells, and finally caught the looming inspiration.

Yes, he came up with a plan.

A "delay tactic" [Author's note: I wonder if any of my friends have guessed this tactic? It was foreshadowed long ago].

"What did Aiqing say?!"

Chen Huang seemed not to hear clearly, but also seemed to have heard clearly, and just wanted to confirm again.

He jumped up from the dragon chair and stumbled down the imperial steps regardless of his dignity.

Maybe he was too excited, or maybe he was too surprised. In just two steps, he almost fell down, twice.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Concubine You immediately stood up and supported Emperor Chen.

Emperor Chen didn't pay attention to Concubine You, but he was supported by her as he walked down the imperial steps and came to Zhu Xiuyuan.

"Your Majesty, I have a method that you can try!"

Zhu Xiuyuan bowed his hands and bowed.

"Ai Qing, please tell me, what is the method?" Chen Huang personally helped Zhu Xiuyuan up, his fingers were trembling with excitement.

The way Chen Huang looked at him almost made Zhu Xiuyuan take a step back.

Because this is too... If it weren't for Concubine You standing next to Emperor Chen, Zhu Xiuyuan would have thought that Emperor Chen's orientation was abnormal.

When he thought of Concubine You, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at her.

…How long has it been since this happened, and you still dress up so coquettishly, so magnificently, that it makes people blush, isn’t it intentional to seduce people…

"Your Majesty, my method is actually quite simple. In a nutshell, it is a strategy to delay the attack!" Zhu Xiuyuan said.

At this time, all the ministers in the hall, including Prime Minister Li Zhong, General Jinwu Right Guard and General Han Qingshan, etc., all turned to Zhu Xiuyuan and Chen Huangjun like sunflowers.

Everyone has different expressions.

Prime Minister Li Zhong frowned, Han Qingshan's eyes lit up, and most of the other ministers looked expectant.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan pulled up the article at this time, covered up, and used "one word", "delaying tactics", etc. Is now the time for you to show off?

But Emperor Chen and his ministers were extremely anxious.

"How to delay the attack?"

The expression on Chen Huang's face was very strange, half a smile but not a smile, half a surprise but not a surprise. It seemed that just after Zhu Xiuyuan revealed his method, Chen Huang would immediately laugh and be surprised...

It can be regarded as a "preparation".

"Your Majesty, the Jiangbei army totals more than 200,000, but it includes the Yan army and the rebels of various kings. Although the Yan army is the majority, the rebels, led by King Jiangdu, are also a force that cannot be underestimated.

"Zhu Xiuyuan said.

"Well, that's right. Aiqing, please continue."

Chen Huang nodded, but he put away the half-smile but not a smile, the half-surprise but not surprise on his face, because it was very uncomfortable to hold it in like that.

"The Yan army and the rebels seem to be united, but there must be quarrels between them! The minister's plan to slow down the army is based on this basis."

Zhu Xiuyuan came slowly.

But he never got to the point, which made Emperor Chen and his ministers anxious.

They really want to slander Zhu Xiuyuan, so let’s get to the point quickly and stop “filling in the water”!

However, they really don't dare to throw Zhu Xiuyuan's big ears away now...

"Well, I seem to understand a little bit, Aiqing continued." Chen Huang is very patient now.

"I thought hard and finally found a way to destroy the relationship between the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Pu, and the King of Jiangdu. Disintegrate their seemingly tight but actually fragile alliance from within!"

"First, this method can delay the Yan army's attack on the city. Second, it may turn Zhao Pu and King Jiangdu into enemies, causing them to use weapons internally..."

"Well, if this is really possible, it would be the best!"

Chen Huang kept nodding, this effect is naturally excellent.

In this way, the crisis in the capital can be resolved, and the state of Chen's country will also be preserved.

But the key thing is, how to achieve this effect?

Chen Huang was really very patient now. He only looked at Zhu Xiuyuan and was not in a hurry to ask questions.

He believes in Zhu Xiuyuan!

However, the other ministers were really anxious. In addition to their expectations, they wished they could roll up their sleeves and rush forward to beat Zhu Xiuyuan severely.

Let you tell the truth! Let you "feed" like crazy!

"Zhu Aiqing, what is the method? Aiqing might as well tell me directly, right?"

Concubine You, who was beside Emperor Chen, asked the ministers what was in their hearts.

Zhu Xiuyuan quickly apologized to Concubine You, and then said two words directly: "Divine Thunder!"

Divine thunder?

Emperor Chen and his ministers didn't understand why this matter was related to Shen Lei.

"Yes, it's the divine thunder!" Zhu Xiuyuan's voice was very loud, "The fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Pu, is determined to win the divine thunder!"

"I think back then, a few months ago, in the battle to defend the city of Jiangzhou, I used the new weapons made by Shen Lei for the first time and severely defeated Zhao Pu's 50,000-strong army."

"Not long ago, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom, Zhao Pu, proposed to exchange the land of several states for the divine thunder formula and the preparation regulations for the martial arts competition! The martial arts regulations are just incidental, Zhao Pu's goal is exactly the divine thunder!"

"That's right! When I said this, I remembered something... To be honest with you, I have received several secret letters a few months ago, all of which were handwritten by Emperor Yan. Judging from the words in the letter,

Then Yan State is extremely eager for divine thunder!"

After Chen Huang suddenly realized this, he revealed these secrets again.

"So, my method is to use the divine thunder formula as bait to persuade Zhao Pu to withdraw his troops. And I will try to create a conflict between Zhao Pu and King Jiangdu to delay time."

This time Zhu Xiuyuan stopped "squeezing out the toothpaste" and directly pointed out the delaying strategy.

"Um……"

Chen Huang twirled his beard with one hand and seemed to be thinking.

"Now that the Yan army has the upper hand, all they have to do is cross the river and attack the city. What can't the Yan army do? I'm afraid this plan won't work." A minister said.

"Simple, please give your Majesty's order. If the capital city is breached, please immediately burn all documents, formulas, etc. related to the divine thunder. Please also kill the craftsmen in the divine thunder workshop, so that the divine thunder will disappear from the world forever!"

"Then, to show my sincerity, I am willing to put myself in danger and personally enter the Yan army camp to meet Zhao Pu, the fourth prince of the Yan Kingdom. In this way, there is no way Zhao Pu will not take the bait."

Zhu Xiuyuan said slowly.

"Um?"

Emperor Chen stopped twirling his beard and looked at Zhu Xiuyuan: "No, Ai Qing is my great talent, Chen Dongliang, how can you put yourself in danger? No, no!"

Chen Huang shook his head repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, I am actually very scared in my heart. However, once the capital city is destroyed and all lives are devastated, how can it be possible for all the people to die? For the sake of the court, the people, and my own family, I must go through this journey.
