A month later, the battle of Guangqing was almost known to the world, and Moli took the army of Qing that had already been renamed the Mojia Army, fought and advanced all the way, and finally returned to Nankun with the men and horses who came out to meet him, and since then he has officially escaped.

After a life and death tribulation, Mo Li not only did not die under Li Qing's calculations, but lived extremely proudly. Although the entire Mo family suffered casualties of most of the clansmen, and many industries were also destroyed by Dongming, the most important foundation and power of the entire Mo family were preserved, and with the rapid stabilization and orderly expansion of the Mo family after the official escape.

What's more, with the Mowang Mansion being forced to rebel this time, the entire Dongming power occupation has undergone a rapid qualitative change, and many people are surprised to find that there are so many people who follow Moli.

In addition to the unconditional declaration of allegiance to Moli and the unconditional declaration of allegiance to the Mo family, even some of the original imperial court soldiers and horses and many rebellious armies that occupied land in various parts of the Eastern Ming Dynasty have officially changed their names to join the Mo family's army, which is upright and unstoppable.

At the same time, Mo Li soon issued a list of teachers to the whole world in Nankun, and officially launched a conquest against the now decaying imperial court, asking for justice from the imperial court for the Mo Palace, for the Mo family, and for all the poor people in the world who are in dire straits, and fighting for the right to live that should belong to them!

Mo Li's statement of leaving the teacher is concise and clear, and there is no empty truth, even ordinary people who have not read a book and do not know a word can understand it. Among them, he did not defend himself too much, because in the past two months, everyone in the world has seen everything that has happened with their own eyes. witnessed how the imperial court has driven people who just want to live and work in peace and contentment to a dead end again and again.

So, even if Mo Li doesn't say anything in this list, the truth is good. Whether it is all the public opinion tendencies in the early stage, or the reputation and prestige accumulated by the Mo Wangfu and Mo Li himself in the hearts of the people of the world in the past ten years, the Mo family army he is now leading has become a righteous army.

And this righteous army has also given all the people in dire distress hope for their future lives.

Moreover, although Mo Li openly raised the flag to rebel, he did not directly claim the emperor like the original Meng family, and was still just the same as before. With his original identity, the King of Mo claims to be himself. Although this may seem subtle, the impression it makes is very different.

Whatever the cause of the former. But they all go straight to their ultimate selfish desires, and the latter is more of a kind of self-preservation, and at the same time, they are fighting for all the suffering people in the world.

With Nankun as the center, many nearby counties and counties are now under the actual control of the Mojia army. On the same day that Moli officially released the teacher's list. As many as ten counties and counties directly announced their independence from the rule of the Eastern Ming Dynasty by force, and since then they have been under the command of the Mowang Mansion, and the local people not only did not resist, but many places directly set off fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate.

From then on, the people of these places willingly became the subjects under the control of the Mo Wangfu, and respected their Mo King Moli, and were no longer oppressed by the Eastern Ming Dynasty.

The teacher list sent by Mo Li exploded at the same time in almost every corner of Dongming's large and small places like a spring breeze overnight. And in just one month after that, not only the counties and counties that automatically belonged to the jurisdiction of the Mowang Mansion as ordered by the order, but also young and middle-aged people ran to sign up to join the Mo Family Army. At the same time, in other surrounding places that were still controlled by the Eastern Ming Dynasty, many people secretly ran to join the army.

For a time, the reputation of the Mojia army became even more famous, with a steady stream of excellent soldiers selected and expanded, the number of troops increased sharply, and all the weather was thriving.

And Mo Li did not immediately rush to send troops to expand his power at this moment, but focused on defensive training within his existing jurisdiction, giving priority to recuperation and consolidation.

Now all the counties and counties that have taken the initiative to merge into the Mowang Mansion are exempt from taxes for three years, and even if the taxes paid after three years are only fifty percent of what they originally had to pay to the Eastern Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Moli did not encourage the people to join the army too much, on the contrary, vigorously rewarded farming, advocated commerce and trade, and gave the local people a more stable and safe living environment as much as possible, so that the economy of various places could recover and develop in a benign way.

It is precisely because of this that Moli has been unanimously crowded by the local people, and becoming a Mo family army has also become an honor for countless young men in the local area.

The Mo family army is very strict in the selection of recruits, but the more this is the case, the more precious it is. Because everyone knows that their prince chose soldiers to join the army, not to be cannon fodder, but to protect their parents' homes while also saving their own lives.

Compared with the prosperous prospects on the side of Nankun, at this moment, the palace of Dongming Capital is gloomy and bleak.

For more than three months, Li Qing has been able to receive the latest information about Nankun every day, but everything is not what he wants to hear, and gradually, his heart seems to have become numb, and he no longer has the excitement and anger at the beginning.

"Okay, don't read it anymore!" With a wave of his hand, Li Qing interrupted the official next to him and said directly: "Spread my will, release Song Shen, pardon his crimes, make him make meritorious service on his behalf, and lead an army of 200,000 to Nankun to conquer the ink thieves, and recover the territory occupied by the thieves surnamed Mo in my Dongming!" ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" As soon as the ministers heard it, they received the decree at the moment, and saw that the emperor finally stopped pursuing General Song's dereliction of duty that day, and reused it, and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief for a while.

A few months ago, General Song had to bear all the responsibility for Guangqing's rebellion in the army, and it was also a disaster that was harmed.

In fact, everyone knows that General Song is really not to blame for this, but at that time, when the emperor was angry, no one had the courage to plead more with General Song, but fortunately, in the end, it was only to investigate and put him under house arrest. There is no real punishment, after all, the emperor also knows that the rebellion of Moli Nankun is a foregone conclusion, and it will still have to be suppressed by the Song family in the future.

Now the imperial court is really in a hurry. The Western Desert side has not been able to make any practical progress for a long time, but Nankun's side has suddenly stood up directly like a divine help, and the terrifying forces and threats are much greater than those of the Western Desert.

The armies defending the city everywhere were panicked, and the rivers and mountains of Dongming became more and more stormy.

In the first time, Li Qing understood that he was willing to lose, but in the end, he lost step by step, and now he had to face the Mo family who raised the flag and judged the same life and death on the battlefield.

The cruel reality even made Li Qing's temples turn white overnight, although he didn't say anything. But he already knew in his heart that the battle between him and Mo Li had already been lost!

He had never faced his heart so much, but at the moment when the matter of Guangqing came. But he knew that he had finally lost all the opportunities he should have, and he had lost the slightest hope and chance of victory.

The tide is over! Maybe there is no general trend at all, this ruined country is bound to die in his hands, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't reverse anything.

He had understood it all. He knew very well that it would be futile to do anything now. It is nothing more than to let this remnant mountain and river use more blood to extract the few days of respite.

But even so, there is no way to stop, right or wrong, he has no way to retreat, let alone a choice, he can only continue to move forward so numbly, where he goes, where he goes, where is the real end.

"Your Majesty. There is one more thing, the minister wants to play. An old minister saw Li Qing, who was in a very poor mood at the moment. After hesitating for a long time, I finally mustered up the courage to speak out.

"Exactly." Without superfluous words, Li Qingwei closed his eyes, his expression was undisguised tired, and he no longer armed himself into an invulnerable iron-blooded strongman image as before.

In fact, these days, his body is not as good as he is dying, and his spirit is even more so. The hidden disease left by Mo Li last year had never really been cured at all, and the root of the disease had already been hollowed out by half of his spirit.

In addition, now that the true sustenance and hope have been lost in the depths of his heart, even a good kind of illusory and unreal obsession has been worn out little by little in the cruel baptism of reality, like an oil lamp without a wick, only Li Qing knows his current true situation best.

Seeing this, the old minister did not delay any longer, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has just received the news that Nanliang has announced the cancellation of the marriage, and Princess Xi has been recovered, I am afraid that she has suffered misfortune, so this marriage no longer exists." ”

"Hmm." Li Qing simply responded, saying that he already knew, but he still didn't even open his eyes, obviously not caring about Nan Liang's attitude so much now.

Seeing Li Qing so negative, the old minister couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said again: "Your Majesty, in addition to canceling the marriage, the lord of Nanliang also said that Princess Xi was in our Dongming, so he put this responsibility on our Dongming, saying that if the emperor can't give him a satisfactory answer, he will definitely seek justice for Princess Xi in person." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other ministers below were all angry, in the past few months, although there is no ironclad evidence and absolute conclusion on the disappearance of Princess Xi, they all know that it has nothing to do with Dongming at all, but the hand of the Ximo Meng family. This lord of Nanliang wants to avenge his beloved daughter, and his mood is understandable, but he can't let go of the real murderer and not look for it, so he came to their emperor for trouble, which is really too bullying!

However, Li Qing did not mean to be annoyed at all, but blinked his eyes, sat up a little upright, and waved his hand to the ministers below to signal everyone not to make noise.

"Princess Xi was killed, and I Dongming do have an unshirkable responsibility, not to mention that she also came to help me Dongming, so I also deeply regret the murder of Princess Xi. Even if the monarch of Southern Liang doesn't mention it, I will take it as compensation. ”

Li Qing said directly to the old minister: "Wu Aiqing, this matter is handled by you with full authority, let the soldiers of the Western Desert withdraw from the battlefield, withdraw from the boundary of the Western Desert, and tell the monarch of the Southern Liang that in the future, I Dongming will no longer interfere in the affairs of the Western Desert, as long as the Southern Liang has the ability, the entire Western Desert will be my compensation to Princess Xi!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone understood what this meant, the emperor directly sent Ximo to Nanliang. Maybe it was precisely because Nanliang was willing to send troops at that time that he had such an idea, but now that things have not reached the final desperate situation, the emperor has done so, which is enough to see the concessions and trade-offs that the emperor has made.

Without waiting for anyone to speak out against or make a statement, Li Qing continued to the ministers again: "As for the future whereabouts and arrangements of the 200,000 troops who retreated from the Western Desert, everything can be decided through consultation by the Ministry of War. If you don't have anything else to do, let's retire today, I'm tired, I have to go and rest for a while! ”

Li Qing quickly left, leaving only a hall of overwhelmed courtiers, and then sighed, but soon everyone slowly retreated in turn.

The news that Li Qing gave up the Western Desert and directly ceded the entire Western Desert to Nanliang soon spread to Nankun and reached the ears of Mo Li and others.

"Liang Xi is really dead?" Han Jiangxue had just finished playing with her nephew Ling'er, who was already like a little adult, and the child was picked up by her sister-in-law.

"Maybe, but that's not the point, the point is that Li Qing's attitude is very different from before." For the first time, Mo Li took the initiative to talk to Han Jiangxue about Li Qinglai.

Han Jiangxue understood what Mo Li meant by the difference, and after listening to what Mo Li had just said, she also noticed it: "That's right, I also feel that he doesn't seem to care about the Li family anymore." I don't know whether this phenomenon is good or bad, and I always feel that something is not right. ”

Mo Li also nodded: "I heard that Li Qing's physical condition has been worse recently, according to the current situation, it is estimated that he will not be able to last for two years, I am afraid that in addition to his poor health, the rise of Nankun has also made him completely lose hope, so it will become like this." But ......"

Speaking of this, Mo Li paused slightly, shook his head again, and said, "When a king is in such a situation, things tend to have two extremes. ”

"Are you afraid that he will take the entire Dongming people as a burial, and take revenge on everyone crazy for the last time without any consequences?" Han Jiangxue's expression was also extremely solemn, with Li Qing's heart, there was indeed nothing that could not be done.

If that's the case, although it won't really hurt them, it will be an unprecedented and tragic disaster for all the people, and no one knows what Li Qing will do in the end, and no one can predict the final consequences.

"Let's hope we're thinking too much!" Seeing this, Mo Li didn't say anything more, and instead changed the topic: "By the way, did Ling'er just leave?" ”

Hearing the word Ling'er, Han Jiangxue's expression involuntarily eased, the little guy is so cute now, his little mouth is sweet, Aunt Chengtian screamed, as long as she came, she would stick to her, which made Han Jiangxue like it so much.

"Yes, after only playing for a while, my sister-in-law came over and picked people up, saying that the child's grandfather asked me to take them back, I was afraid that I would play too wild!" She couldn't help but complain, and said angrily to Moli: "You give a comment, how can my father be like this, for fear that I, who is an aunt, will stay with the child for too long and rob him of his grandfather's position in Ling'er's heart." ”

Mo Li saw Han Jiangxue like this, and said with a smile: "Since you like children so much, then let's give birth to a few more and play by ourselves, and don't let them play more when the time comes!" ”

Hearing Mo Li's words, Han Jiangxue instantly stiffened, but soon pretended to be light and said, "Nonsense, is the child born for fun?" ”

"Uh, isn't it for fun?" Mo Li smiled while eating, and pinched Han Jiangxue's face, full of hints.

This time, Han Jiangxue couldn't pretend to be calm anymore and didn't care, she suddenly felt a little sad, lowered her head slightly and muttered: "Leave, we've been married for almost two years, but there has never been any news about my stomach, I'm afraid of ......" (to be continued......
