Chapter 1177: The Heaven-Shaking Bell Rings
It has been many years since the confrontation between the grass sea in northern Xinjiang, and after listening to it too much, it is slowly becoming a little numb. Unlike the Western Regions, if an army is raised to attack, people can't help but think of the situation when the entire territory of Dizhou fell into the hands of the enemy in Xirong.
At this time, no one has mentioned the proposal of Prince Chun to send troops to Mobei, even if there are people who are close to Prince Chun among the ministers, but how dare to let Mu Tianwolf divide his troops at such a juncture, one is not good, and the foundation that Dizhou has finally laid down will be handed over.
Thousands of armies are easy to get, and it is difficult to find a general, and the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, but there are not many handsome talents who can lead a side. The ministers all looked at Li Luo, and I am afraid that no one in the Western Mansion is more familiar with Li Luo, and it should be Li Luo's duty to pacify the enemy army in the Western Regions.
Li Luo asked for help, Emperor Wanlong was silent, and the ministers of the DPRK and China strongly advised Li Luo to go to the Western Regions to quell the chaos.
Li Luo thought about it, but he also understood the meaning, after Concubine Yun was established, the ceremony was coming, and as soon as Li Luo fell in Zhuocheng, Emperor Wanlong would have the confidence to act persistently. If Li Luo is not in Zhuocheng, Emperor Wanlong must have to take into account the opposition of all parties, and these people in the court will naturally send Li Luo to Zhuocheng at the best.
Emperor Wanlong seemed to be unable to make up his mind for a moment whether to let Li Luo leave for Xifu immediately, and Li Luo probably guessed that Emperor Wanlong would not let him leave Zhuocheng so soon, and he would have to wait until after the sealing ceremony at the earliest.
After all, the Sky Wolf still has Yun Wuyan and Shen Xiangdong here, and the Western Regions Alliance is menacing, but it may not be able to bargain under these two people.
Emperor Wanlong pondered for a long time and asked about the current situation of the Shepherd Wolf. Li Luo replied truthfully and did not hide it.
Hearing the situation of the Guannan battalion, Emperor Wanlong breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, in terms of military appearance and combat power alone, the Shepherd Wolf was not afraid of the Western Regions Alliance.
This is good, Emperor Wanlong said a few vague words, and did not issue an order to summon Li Luo to go to Xifu, but ordered all the departments and yamen to prepare for war, especially the Privy Council.
The news collected by each division was handed over to Li Luo, and after discussing countermeasures, he ordered the shepherd wolf to act according to the order. At the same time, Emperor Wanlong finally remembered that Li Luo was punished, and ordered Li Luoguan to be reinstated, lead the hussar general, and be appointed commander of the West Kong, and be in charge of the military and political affairs of the Great Ganxi Mansion.
Appointed commander without a fight, Dagan is the first time since Emperor Bandung ascended the throne. The generals of the army, according to the Dagan law calendar, no matter who the commander of the battalion is and where the town is guarded, must be under the jurisdiction of the Dagan Taibao.
Once the commander is crowned, it is different, as long as the Son of Heaven does not remove the title of the marshal, that is to be on an equal footing with the Taibao, not subject to the jurisdiction of the Taibao of the current dynasty, among the military attachés can be said to be one person under ten thousand people, except for the Son of Heaven, no one else is qualified to make irresponsible remarks.
However, the marshal is only available in wartime, and if it is a time of peace, the imperial court will issue an order to take back the marshal position and bring it under the jurisdiction of the Taibao.
It's just that some generals are highly accomplished, and some people's qualifications and prestige are still above the Taibao, so the words of domination are just talking, and they can get by with each other's face.
This is not an idle handsome name, all the great Gan Qunchen know that if the handsome title is more special, then the more powerful the handsome is. Dagan's last handsome position in the name of emptiness was fifty years ago, and now there is one more.
Li Luo received the order, his expression remained unchanged, and he jumped out of the jurisdiction of Prince Chun, which was also in Yin Mohuai's calculations, the original plan was to take advantage of the unfavorable war in Beifu, and Li Luo replaced him, but he never thought that Emperor Wanlong would issue an order to be the commander, but it made Li Luo quite surprised.
After Emperor Wanlong issued an order, he wanted to retreat from the court, not to mention indecision, and there was some meaning of shaking off the shopkeeper.
However, Emperor Wanlong was able to go to the court so quickly today and summon his ministers to discuss matters, which was already beyond Li Luo's expectations, and it is difficult to say whether it was the advice of the new Empress Dagan.
Looking at Emperor Wanlong, who was lacking interest in the dragon chair, Li Luo suddenly felt a sense of fatigue, if the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair could not work hard, how long could he last, it was no wonder that the people in the Tiannan lands and the wealthy family regarded Li Luo as a foolish and loyal person.
Just when Li Luo's mind was distracted, he suddenly rode into the dust, and before anyone arrived, he only heard a roar: "Urgent report!" ”
Before the words fell, the earth-shattering bell at the palace gate rang, and the ministers changed color together, and the timid courtiers turned their lips blue, and looked back at the outside of the Changming Palace tremblingly.
Emperor Wanlong was also stunned and speechless for a while. The bells of the Earthquake Bell are melodious, but at this time, it is like urging life, which makes people feel heartbroken.
From the first sound, a total of seven rings were struck, and after seven sounds, the sound of the heaven-shaking bell gradually dissipated. Everyone in the Changming Palace looked sideways, forgetting for a while that Emperor Wanlong, who was still on the dragon chair, connected with each other, and talked about it, all speculating about what was going to alarm the Heaven-shaking Bell.
The Earthquake Bell in front of the Dagan Palace was set up in the Taizu period, which was originally intended to warn the descendants of the Li family to be prepared for danger in times of peace and worry about the worries of the world.
On the day of worshipping the ancestors, the heaven-shaking bell will be ringed, but it is only three times, warning future generations not to forget the hardships of the predecessors to open mountains and build bridges.
It's just that time has passed, and there are not many disciples of the Li family who still remember the ancestor's intentions back then, but the effect of the Tianzhen Bell's warning is still there, and it is much more dangerous than the Taizu's warning.
The bell rings nine times, which is for the death of the country; When the bell rings eight times, it means that the soldiers are coming to the city; Now there are seven rings, if it weren't for the palace guards who were not afraid of death ringing the bell to play, then there was only one possibility, and a catastrophe was coming.
Emperor Wanlong was stunned, he never thought that one day the heaven-shaking bell would ring seven times, and the ministers under the hall were also shocked, intriguing with each other and letting them go first, to see what happened.
The soldiers who gave the order came quickly, and they actually came into the palace on horseback, and the palace doors were opened one after another, and there was no obstruction along the way. The things held in the hands of the soldiers are raised high, with dragon and phoenix patterns, and it is actually the Qinwang Order with the same name as the dragon and phoenix gold seal in the palace.
The soldiers went straight to the Changming Palace, the bell echoed endlessly, the sound did not stop, and the people had arrived in front of the palace. Early in the palace, the chamberlain greeted him, and when he arrived in front of the soldier without waiting for questioning, he saw that the soldier was diligent in the king's order, and the chamberlain was silent, bowing down and leading the soldier into the hall quickly.
After entering the Changming Palace, the herald ordered the soldiers to kneel down and salute, and shouted: "Urgent report!" ”
Emperor Wanlong took a deep breath, settled his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Say." ”
"Qi Qi Sheng, Beifu urgently. A total of 200,000 troops from the Mobei Caohai Luoyun, the Emperor Shengjiucai, and the three divisions of Jidi, went south by boat, broke the Yangxi ferry in Liangzhou, and went out of the north city of the river from Bantianfu. ”
The ministers gasped in unison, Li Luo couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he was still guessing what Xiang Liu'er was planning, but he didn't expect to be poor so soon, and it was so vicious, but Prince Chun still wanted to catch a turtle in an urn, but he didn't think that he would become someone else's caged finch in a blink of an eye.
