Several people in the Xuanzheng Hall looked at the emperor with a look of surprise, and they were all at a loss.

The old man of the military department stepped forward, and Shi Li asked, "Your Majesty, but there is news from the north?" ”

"Ha, Lou Xinhou actually won? Haha, what a general in the north of the town! I'm really convinced of you this time! Come on, reward the Lou family! ”

As soon as Emperor Taikang's words came out, the old ministers and princes of the Xuanzheng Palace all widened their eyes in an instant, and they couldn't believe what they heard.

They are all important ministers of the court, although the North Border has been neglected since the East China Sea War, but what is the situation in the North Border is still known, as far as Lou Xinhou's 30,000 hungry soldiers can fight the brave and good 50,000 Tuhun army? They still don't have enough food and grass for a few months! Your Majesty, are you sure that the old man is not dazzled, and he has read the wrong content on the spy report?

The old man Han Gao, the prime minister of Zuo, asked in a low voice with a skeptical attitude: "Your Majesty, are you sure this spy report is true?" ”

Tai Kangdi was immediately unhappy when he heard this, threw the spy report in his hand into the old guy's arms, and said indignantly: "Old Han, you dare to doubt the ability of the secret spy department? ”

Prime Minister Zuo opened a mouth with a few missing teeth and laughed twice, picked up the spy report and quickly browsed it, and said with a lot of interest: "Weichen doesn't dare, don't dare!" ”

Tai Kangdi snorted unhappily.

When Han Gao saw the news in the spy with his own eyes, even he himself was stunned, the emperor was not mistaken, the Liangzhou border army did win, and it was a big victory! Less than 10,000 of the 30,000 border troops were damaged.

It's not just about winning battles, it's about the ages. Which big battle does not lose a large number of soldiers, an army has won a battle, and the damage within 30% can already be regarded as a big victory, 30,000 tired troops in the face of 50,000 Tuhun "tiger wolves", and actually won a big victory in the case of a loss of 10%, what is this concept!

Zuo Prime Minister Han Gao was horrified in his heart, his cloudy old eyes were full of light at this time, the Tuhun people would not show mercy, and the 50,000 Tuhun soldiers would not be fake, since everything on the enemy side was true. Then the victory of this battle must not be accidental.

Is there something in Liangzhou in the north that they have ignored these days?

Then. No one doubts the accuracy of this news anymore, the secret spy department is directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and this spy report will not be false. But the content of the spy report is really shocking!

On the contrary, Xiao Zhe seemed the most calm and wanted to come. Since Lou Zheng can use the glass to go to Tianjinggang in exchange for money and grain. She's there. How could he watch his father in prison? How much she is capable of, he is the person who knows best in the world.

But what to do. Still unwilling! When she and her father closest to her were in danger, he was not by her side, and he did not accompany her through the difficulties, maybe this little girl had completely forgotten him, and when he didn't exist, he was really a ruthless villain!

For a while, several important ministers of the Xuanzheng Hall looked at each other, each with a deep meaning in their eyes, and after the joy, they wanted to dig out the truth.

In any case, this great battle, which had been resolved before they could take action, broke the shadow of the defeat of the East China Sea War, and finally allowed the dynasty generals to regain some courage and self-confidence.

And Tai Kangdi also announced the news as soon as possible, and the generals of the Great Wu Dynasty needed a dose of heart booster at this time.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and no one expected this unexpected surprise.

When the ministers and princes left, their faces were wonderful.

Emperor Taikang didn't care about these, everything else was secondary, the important thing was that this was a victory, and it was a big victory, he rewarded the main house of the Lou family in Shengjing, and specially allowed Uncle Lou to participate in the monthly court meeting, and when the time came, he would definitely be commended among the ministers.

It seems that the Lou family is going to be in the limelight in Shengjing this time.

When Xiao Zhe was silently about to retreat with all the important ministers and brothers, Emperor Tai Kang stopped him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "The third brother stays, I still have something to say to you." ”

Xiao Zhe's body stiffened, so he had to stay hard, the secret spy department was really unreliable, it was obviously just the news of the next day, but it was divided into two spy reports and sent to the emperor, causing him to be exposed in front of the emperor's father too early.

It seems that the original plan is no longer working.

Xiao Zhe stood four or five steps in front of Tai Kangdi, bowing his head slightly, looking humble.

Tai Kangdi looked him up and down, the corners of his eyes narrowed, and many wrinkles appeared. In the past, after the third boy left Shengjing to go to the fiefdom, he didn't feel it, but now that he is an adult, he looks more and more like when he was young.

"Come closer! What are you still afraid of in front of your Lao Tzu, where is the momentum that just reprimanded Lao Han? ”

Xiao Zhe's face was bitter, Prime Minister Zuo was just an old man in his eyes, and he would retire after a few years in that position, but Tai Kangdi was different, although they were father and son, they were also monarchs and ministers. For many years, Tai Kang Ti had never shown his father's side in front of him.

Xiao Zhe could only take two more steps in front of Tai Kangdi as he said.

When the distance between father and son was only one or two arm's length, Tai Kangdi seemed to snort in satisfaction.

"When did you arrive in the capital? You've been in the fiefdom for many years, and now you're back, but you went to the harem to meet your mother? ”

Xiao Zhe saluted respectfully, "Back to my father, Shengjing, where my sons arrived on the tenth day of the fifth month, has now settled down in the palace outside the palace, and I went to Beijing to visit my mother and concubine the next day." ”

"Hmph, even if you have some conscience, go, accompany me to the Imperial Garden."

Xiao Zhe should be.

Tai Kangdi walked in front with his back hand, but he didn't talk to Xiao Zhe along the way, Xiao Zhe paused in the footsteps behind, and found that this was the way to his mother, Concubine Yang's palace.

Concubine Yang's palace is far away from the main hall, and on weekdays, Emperor Taikang can't go back to it for half a year, but today he didn't even take a step, so he walked over with Xiao Zhe.

Xiao Zhe looked up at Tai Kangdi's gaze, which became dark.

Shengjing Lou family, the big eunuch next to the emperor stood silently in the flower hall in the front yard of the Lou family with rewards and holy decrees.

Uncle Lou Xinzhi supported the old lady and took the Lou family to the flower hall in the front yard to receive the order.

The faces of the Lou family were all hesitant, and they didn't know what the will would be, and the eunuch chief beside the emperor would come over in person.

Speechless, Lou Xinzhi, the head of the Lou family, cowered, and patted him kindly, "Lord Lou, don't worry, it's a good thing that our family is here." ”

Lou Xinzhi was still cursing General Lou in his heart just now, because it involved court affairs, there was only General Lou in the Lou family, and now he heard that it was a good thing to say that he was speechless, a bitter gourd face changed his face every minute, and the next moment he smiled at the wordless flattery.
