Chapter 288: The Value of Li Carrier (2-in-1)
Emperor Jianzhao received the news of the fiasco in Baizhou four days later than Ji Nantang.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Lu Datong died in battle, and Li Chengyun's life and death are unknown!
Although Lu Datong had tried his best to conceal the true death toll in this battle, only these two items made Emperor Jianzhao sit on the dragon chair and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
At the same time as this battle report, Lu Datong was sent to his imperial case, and Lu Datong reviewed himself with tears in his eyes: because he was anxious to win, he was ambushed by the enemy, and so many people died, and he was sorry for the saint and the people, and at the same time, he was sorry for Cheng Guogong, who was broken for him, came back to see his daughter without shame, and begged the saint to punish him for his crimes, and allowed him to make meritorious service in Baizhou, even if he carried the coffin and fought, he had to find this field back from the hands of the Dongyi people.
After the recital, he sued Fu Liangji again.
If it weren't for Fu Liangji's delay in the fighter plane and standing by and watching, the people of the imperial court would not have suffered such a big loss, and Li Chengyun's lieutenant generals and soldiers could all testify, since Fu Liangji led the two people to Baizhou, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he didn't see anyone at all when he shrank behind, and he didn't take Li Chengyun as a supervisor in his eyes, and Li Chengyun had no choice but to personally lead 2,000 men and horses to reinforce him, so he suffered this misfortune.
Emperor Jianzhao felt dizzy for a while.
People are old, and in the past two years, Emperor Jianzhao often feels sleepy and weak, and the death of the eldest princess reminds him that he is afraid that he will not have a few years to live.
In this life, he has got rid of so many siblings and relatives, and the deadline is approaching, it is false to say that he is not empty-hearted, in this case, he really doesn't want his nephew Li Chengyun to have an accident.
He stared at it for a long time, as if he were looking at some flood beast. The shriveled cheeks twitched a few times, and suddenly reached out and swept the piece to the ground. Covering his head, he said to the old Huangmen who hurriedly stepped forward to serve: "Go to Xuanguo Shi to see me!" ”
Lao Huangmen bowed down and was about to retreat, and Emperor Jianzhao said again: "Find King Ming and Haoyu as well." And the Imperial Doctor. Just go! ”
The last word "go quickly" was said in a loud voice, and Lao Huangmen was startled, and hurriedly went out to find someone.
Fu Liangji's recital was only half a day later than Lu Datong.
However, it was evening, and Emperor Jianzhao had a headache and summoned the imperial doctor to take the pulse. The three of Tan Lao's national teachers retreated to the outer hall for dinner, and the chapter was sent. was stopped by the eldest prince Yang Haoyu.
The three of them looked at it, and the content was to impeach Lu Datong for being stubborn and bent on going his own way. As a result, the army was defeated, and the life and death of Cheng Guogong, who went to dissuade him, was unknown, and he asked Emperor Jianzhao to issue an edict to punish him for his crime and ask him to hand over the Shuai Yin immediately. so as not to cause stricter consequences.
If you put the concertos of Fu Liangji and Lu Datong together. No matter how you look at it, it looks like two people are passing the buck to each other for this defeat.
Yang Haoyu threw Fu Liangji's piece on the table with a "snap", and said angrily: "It's like child's play to lead soldiers to fight, my father has so much faith in him and Lu Datong, how dare he?" ”
Old Master Tan's eyebrows moved slightly: "Your Highness is angry, now is not the time to hold you accountable, the top priority is to save the unfavorable situation in Baizhou." ”
Yang Haoyu's eyes were a little gloomy when he heard this, he took the initiative to ask Ying just now, and wanted to ask his father to send him to Baizhou to supervise the war. Emperor Jianzhao did not allow it, but the second brother Yang Haojian had such an opportunity.
Emperor Jianzhao also matched the second brother with the Tan family. Tan Yaohua is engaged to Bai Wenrui's daughter, what this means, no one knows better than Yang Haoyu.
Named himself a filial piety king, and bowed down to Yang Haojian's little beast in the future, how could he be willing?
What's more, even if he retreats, the little beast will not let him and his mother go.
For more than a year, Yang Hao couldn't swallow his food, fidgeted, and was full of a sense of crisis, where was he still in the mood to have fun.
Old Master Tan didn't know that Yang Haoyu had already classified him into the second group, and he had turned so many thoughts.
He has been weighing the next shortage of major generals, and Lu Datong and Fu Liangji are not at each other's terms, so they should make a proposal to the emperor and send someone to Baizhou to clean up the mess.
In terms of familiarity with Baizhou and the ability to lead troops to fight, Ji Nantang is undoubtedly the most suitable, but Emperor Jianzhao had left him aside before, and Fu Liangji was his mentor, so I am afraid that he will be more worried at this time.
Others, not as good as the two in Baizhou, sending someone who doesn't know how to go can only make matters worse.
Half an hour later, Emperor Jianzhao's headache was slightly relieved, and he called the three of them to go in to discuss, until the headache flared up again in the middle of the night, this time it hurt so much that it was going to be alive and dead, which alarmed Queen Tan, so he gave up temporarily.
Yang Hao had to stay behind, and Old Master Tan and Ming King Yang An met and waited outside to return to the mansion.
In this way, the meeting between Mr. Tan and the students at noon had to be postponed.
Old Master Tan also wanted to wait and see if Emperor Jianzhao would change his mind, Baizhou was tantamount to Longtan Tiger's Den at the moment, and only sent some students over to make people feel at ease.
He was old, but his five sons were still in the prime of life. It's just that they can't go, and Xuanyin Pavilion also has a lot of division commanders who can get their hands on both strength and qualifications.
Old Master Tan went to the palace, and there was no intention of seeing everyone, Wen Sheng was worried that something would change, and her captaincy had not yet been finalized.
At this time, the only people who could open their hearts and discuss with her were the people from the General's Mansion.
"General, will the imperial court send you to clean up the mess in Baizhou next?"
From Wen Sheng's point of view, she wished that Ji Nantang would be sent to the army to preside over the overall situation.
There is too little that the musician can do in front of the two armies, even if she is the captain of fifty people, she will be subject to the commander, if she goes to Baizhou, she will have to listen to Lu Datong's orders, and there is really little hope for saving Li Chengyun Wen Shengjue.
"Wait for the news to come out and see who the emperor wants, if it really doesn't work, I will go to the palace and take the initiative to ask for war."
Ji Nantang is a little depressed, he has been stationed in Baizhou for many years, and he has a lot of feelings for the people there, and many of Ji's soldiers are recruited locally.
Now that most of Baizhou has been lost, all the coastal defenses he worked so hard to build have been bulldozed, and his hard work has been ruined, which is equivalent to how many subordinates have died in vain, and he has been holding this anger in his heart for more than a year.
For the generals to join the battlefield of the conquest, the horse leather shrouded. Ji Nantang has stepped on the beacon fire and wolf smoke for more than ten years, and the more clearly he can see the of the intrigue in the court when he returns to Beijing this time. The more I got bored.
Du Yuanpu's opinion is quite pessimistic: "In the defeat of Baizhou, Lord Fu and Ting Guogong will most likely have to fight a lawsuit in front of the saint, and the general is on Lord Fu's side, and the saint is afraid that he will not ask you to participate, even if you go, he will send a big Buddha to press you on it." ”
Wen Sheng felt that Du Yuanpu was worried, and she planned to go to Tan Yaohua to find out.
Tan Yaohua has been engaged to Miss Bai since she was married. No, it should be said that since the rejection of the proposal to her that time, the number of meetings with Wen Sheng has been significantly less.
But this is a matter of life and death for thousands of people. Wen Sheng didn't care if he was avoiding suspicion, and after two days, he found out that he was in the National Teacher's Mansion, and came to the door to directly deliver a post to ask for a meeting.
In the past two days, the defeat of Baizhou has caused an uproar in the Liang government and the opposition.
I don't know how the news leaked out. The more it spreads among the common people, it becomes more and more outrageous. In the end, it turned out that the 200,000 horses of the imperial court were completely annihilated, and the corpses piled up the valley, even the generals with troops were not spared, and now a large number of enemy troops have killed out of Baizhou and rushed to Fengjing.
The common people panicked, and even the civil and military officials felt that the day was precarious, and a catastrophe was coming, not to mention that someone in the family went to Baizhou as a soldier. Walking down the street, you can hear the cry almost every few houses.
Emperor Jianzhao in the imperial court was also anxious.
Lu Datong sent a fast horse to send another piece of music.
This time is different from the previous content. There were two letters inside.
One letter is from the enemy manager.
It is said that the commander of the Dongyi side of this battle is a ghost boy, and it can be seen that this person is very familiar with the Yiqiē of the Great Liang, and the letter is simply written in the Great Liang script, speaking without prejudice, and the handwriting is very upright and handsome.
The letter paid tribute to Emperor Daliang in a mocking tone, saying that they had captured a powerful person of Daliang in front of the two armies, who was the nephew of Emperor Xià, Cheng Guogong Li Cheng.
Although this captive has a noble status, many of them still remember how Da Liang treated the two nephews of the great leader of Yanshan that day, so although Li Chengyun is still alive now, he has also suffered a lot of crimes.
The ghost boy asked Emperor Jianzhao in the letter, if he was willing to redeem Li Chengyun, if he wanted to redeem it, he would quickly prepare 20 million taels of silver, and he didn't dare to guarantee that it would be a living person who would be returned when it was too late.
In addition, if you want them to withdraw their troops, they can also discuss, nothing more than give some silver, and then cut a few islands in the East China Sea, Emperor Jianzhao can send his cronies to Baizhou to talk in detail, and after a few days, they will not be at this price when they hit Fengjing.
Emperor Jianzhao couldn't believe his eyes, 20 million taels, equivalent to half a year's treasury income of Daliang, this ghost boy really dared to open his mouth.
Lee is still alive......
The other letter was written by a lieutenant general named Ji Tong in Daliang, and it was written in blood.
Ji Tong said in the letter that he was captured together with Cheng Guogong Li Chengyun, and the Dongyi people forced Cheng Guogong to write a letter to the Lord of Long Live for help, asking the court to take money to ransom him, but Cheng Guogong refused. He did not write this letter to surrender Dongyi, but to let the Lord know that Cheng Guogong had indeed fallen into the hands of the enemy.
The back is covered with Ji Tong's bloody handprint and Li Chengyun's seal. Li Chengyun was taken prisoner, and his seal was searched by the enemy.
Emperor Jianzhao was in a dilemma, if the other party was not so greedy, he was really willing to spend a few million taels of silver to redeem his nephew.
As usual, he called the three of Tan Lao Guoshi to discuss, and sure enough, none of them agreed to ransom people with silver.
Even Yang An, the king of Ming, who has always been very close to Li Chengyun, said: "The ghost boy is insidious, vicious, and capricious, even if the imperial brother takes the silver, I am afraid that he will not be able to change it back." It's better to focus on the country, and the imperial sister will not blame us if she knows it. ”
Yang Haoyu originally had a problem with Li Chengyun, and also said: "Why didn't my cousin write a letter, who knows if what he said in this Ji Tong's letter is true or false, maybe my cousin has already died in battle, and the seal was obtained by the Dongyi people, so he set a trap to lead us to be fooled." ”
The ransom was supposed to end here, but they ignored one point, the two letters passed through Lu Datong's hand, and he knew the inside story.
Li Chengyun was cut off for him, he was full of guilt, and felt that he had no face to come back to see his daughter, but he saw a glimmer of hope in the letter.
Although 20 million is not a small amount, if his Yanguo Mansion and his son-in-law's Chengguo Mansion sell their property to make up a big deal, especially the son-in-law, the eldest princess left him a lot of good things.
He was afraid that his family would not know, so when he sent the chapter to Beijing, he wrote a letter to his old wife and daughter at the same time.
Lu Shi was completely unaware of the situation in Baizhou, and fainted as soon as he read the letter. After waking up, where did she care about keeping filial piety to the eldest princess, she immediately changed her clothes and took her son into the palace, and knelt down outside the main hall, begging Emperor Jianzhao to agree to her redeeming the head of the family with the property of the Chengguo Mansion.
This mess ......
Punish it, I can't open my mouth, the most innocent and unlucky person in this whole thing from beginning to end is Li Chengyun.
People were originally at home to the eldest princess to keep filial piety, but was sent to Baizhou by the emperor, if it weren't for his catastrophe and resolute decision to break off the commander, I don't know how many more people will die.
But why is this Lu Shi as unclear as Lu Datong?
Emperor Jianzhao regretted and was bored, waved his hand, and ordered someone to call Empress Tan and Princess Ming to persuade the Lu family, so that she knew that not to redeem Li Chengyun was not just a matter of money.
Wen Sheng was going to meet the Lu family after the news spread, but he didn't know that one had already entered the palace and tossed around.
She went to the National Teacher's Mansion first, and met Tan Yaohua very smoothly.
Earlier, Tan Yaohua was ready to leave Beijing for a walk, but she has not been able to make the trip.
Tan Linghui's marriage is unresolved, and she herself recognizes that Zhong Tianzheng has not let go, Tan Jinhua has been at home less than a year, and has more time to go out, not to mention having time to take care of her son.
Tan Jibao entangled Tan Yaohua, and the little fat man officially worshiped him a few days ago and learned guqin with him.
When Wen Sheng arrived, he saw that his uncle and nephew were staying in the piano room, and Tan Yaohua was holding his nephew's little fat hand and teaching him fingering.
Tan Jibao twisted around and was dishonest, taking advantage of Tan Yaohua and Wen Sheng to greet him, he pulled his eyelids with one hand, made a grimace, slid down to the ground, and said, "I'm going out to play." ”
After so long, he still knows Wen Sheng.
When he "Dengdeng" ran out, Tan Yaohua said: "I haven't congratulated you yet, you won the first place in Dabi." He beckoned Wen Sheng to sit down and poured her tea in person.
Wen Sheng leaned over and said, "Thank you, Dabi hasn't seen you these days, speaking of which, Brother Tan, what have you been busy with lately?" ”
Tan Yaohua smiled: "I'm always bored at home, and my skills can't be improved, I want to leave Beijing for a while." ”
Wen Sheng fell silent, not knowing how to speak next.
Tan Yaohua was very understanding, and asked first: "You have always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and you are in a hurry to find me, there must be something wrong." It doesn't matter, let's hear it, I'll help as long as I can. ”
Wen Sheng asked him to say that he was ashamed, but no, since she knew Tan Yaohua, she came to him whenever she was in trouble, and he also responded to his requests, and after a long time, she actually developed a habit. (To be continued......)
PS: There may be a mistake, I'll be smooth in a while.
That's a lot of pink.
I'm like a plantain,
You are like rain,
Balabala,
Boom!
