Chapter 672: See Your Majesty!!
The fastest update of the latest chapter!
Two branches of flowers bloomed, this side Lu Zheng returned to Jinling from Lianghe, in the eyes of the world, he was a traitor's plot, lost his military power in Lianghe, and there were many people in the court who cried for him!
On the other hand, Long Lingxiu's army was defeated and retreated to Shandong, on the boundary of Shandong, she and Tan Lei were in the military tent and the generals discussed, the atmosphere was depressed and serious to the freezing point, this time the Liaodong Army was defeated and returned from the west, with heavy losses, and the 80,000 iron cavalry did not catch a single son of the westward expedition, but lost nearly 50,000 people, leaving only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Now there are only 50,000 Liaodong troops in the entire Shandong territory, can these 50,000 people still be able to hold Shandong? This is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that for the Liaodong Army, the defeat of the two rivers made the world see the weakness of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
The so-called myth of the invincibility of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry has been completely shattered, and the destruction of this myth is the most fatal injury to the Liaodong Army.
"I really didn't expect Long Zhaohuan to be so ruthless, this time the flood made my Liaodong Army suffer heavy losses, Long Zhaohuan really deserves to be cut by a thousand knives!" Long Lingxiu said, "We retreated to Shandong and suffered a heavy blow, saying that a thousand ways and ten thousand were all caused by Lu Zheng's murder, if it weren't for his treacherous and cunning, why would we have suffered such a fiasco?" ”
Tan Lei's face was blue and gloomy, he had been on the battlefield all his life, and he had experienced countless battles, and it was the first time he had experienced such a wretched defeat, and his mood at this moment could be imagined.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, we don't have to worry about the past anymore, let's grasp the present! How do we get through this now? Tan Lei said, he paused and said: "According to the scout's report, the King of Qi has not stayed far from Shandong, he has been wandering around the Huai River in northern Jiangsu to recuperate, and he heard the news of our flooded army, and his vanguard army has gone north again, obviously, he is going to fight a decisive battle with us!"
His Royal Highness King Qi is no better than the crown prince, this Royal Highness is a general immediately, a general who has really experienced bloody storms, and his people are very deep in the city, he has been forbearant for so many years, which makes people think that he has no ambition at first glance. However, this time to quell the rebellion in Shandong, he led more than 100,000 troops to come, lost Jin Wuwei, and took the other soldiers and horses as his own, pretending to be defeated and retreating to Jiangnan. ”
Long Lingxiu smiled and said, "My eldest brother, it's really a deep city." However, there must be Lu Zheng's prodding behind his return to Shandong, Lu Zheng is a child, and he is the best at calculating people. I even suspect that this time the Liaodong Army was flooded, Lu Zheng knew about it at all, and he deliberately did not stop Long Zhaohuan from acting, this time, the Liaodong Army was hit hard, and Shandong was about to fall into war again.
Looking at the land of Lianghe and Gyeonggi, Long Zhaohuan was broken by Lu Zheng all the way, although the position of the prince was retained, but what will the people of the world think of him in the future? What prestige does he have to continue to serve as this crown prince? ”
Long Lingxiu paused and said, "From this point of view, the biggest winner is Lu Zheng!" Lu Zheng left Lianghe, but now Lianghe has established the Governor's Mansion, and Su Zhi is the Governor. The 60,000 soldiers and horses under Su Zhi's hands only recognized Lu Zheng, so Lu Zheng's soldiers and horses were still there.
And this time Lu Zheng returned to Jinling, before anyone arrived, it was said that the court was crying out for him everywhere, thinking that he had suffered a great grievance, and carried the black pot for Long Zhaohuan's recklessness, Lu Zheng must be reused when he arrives in Jinling, it just so happens that Jiangnan wants to revitalize the Nanfu army, can Lu Zheng build the Nanfu army when he goes? ”
Tan Lei sighed lightly and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, for the sake of today, we can only temporarily return to the north, first retreat to Liaodong, and then slowly figure it out." If we retreat to Liaodong, the situation in the world will change again.
The two princes, one in Longxi and the other in Gyeonggi, can the two of them get along? Shandong gave up to Long Zhaorui, the king of Qi, can Jiangnan be stable? Only if we are in Liaodong, they won't care, which can give us a chance to make a comeback! ”
Long Lingxiu nodded and said, "That's the only way to do it for now!" General Tan, I immediately sent a letter to the King of Qi, saying that we are willing to give up the land of Shandong to him, hoping that he will form an alliance with us, and from now on, the two places in Shandong and Liaodong will always be united and together, so that the environment of our Liaodong will be better! ”
Long Lingxiu and Tan Lei reached a consensus without much effort, that is, the Liaodong Army simply gave up Shandong and returned north directly to retract its fists. Their decision to make this indicates that the Liaodong Army has completely failed to send troops this time.
But if you think about it carefully, did Long Lingxiu really fail this time? The answer is obviously no, the biggest success of Liaodong's troops this time is to disrupt the world, disrupt Dakang, and make Dakang fall apart.
Long Lingxiu disrupted the world and returned to Liaodong, Dakang has been divided into five at this time, and now Dakang has truly become a situation where the sons seize the heirs, the princes do not trust each other, they are enemies of each other, and there is no trust between father and son, and they are even directly hostile to each other.
Lu Zheng went to Jinling, Jinling was empty, in the face of such a noisy and lively scene, Lu Zheng was extremely calm, he did not have contact with too many people, and he did not go back to Jiangning Lufu, but went directly to the palace to see Emperor Xinde.
As usual, Emperor Xinde had a lot of homework to do every day, and waiting for Emperor Xinde to finish his homework was a long process, but Lu Zheng was very patient, he waited quietly in the tea room, his expression was calm, and the ancient well was not wavering.
Gonggong Feng, the chief eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor, was very attentive today, he personally added tea to Lu Zheng, and said: "Lord Lu, coming from the north is really tiring!" Since His Majesty came to Jiangnan, his spirit has been much better than before, everything is fine, everything is satisfied. He also said that Jiangshan Sheji has its own fixed number, and there is no need for His Majesty to care more. I think Your Majesty is optimistic about Lord Lu......"
As soon as Gonggong Feng said this, the meaning of being close to the knot was obvious, and Lu Zheng was slightly surprised, and then he realized it again. Yes, Jiangnan is good, Jinling is good!
Lu Zheng carried out a new purge of the Gu family and the Chen family before returning to Jiangnan, the situation in Jiangnan is that the Lu family is dominant, the Gu family and the Chen family are behind the Gongwei to help, with the Lu family taking the lead, forming a system, Jiangnan's power can rise rapidly.
The Lu family occupies most of the resources in the south of the Yangtze River, and its influence naturally penetrates into all levels of the government and the opposition, in such a situation, but anyone who wants to make a difference in Jinling, or a powerful person who has a foothold in Jinling, who doesn't want to have a relationship with the Lu family?
And the most critical thing to have a relationship with the Lu family is naturally to look at Lu Zheng's attitude, as long as Lu Zheng nods, the Lu family will be unimpeded, it is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zheng is now the leader of the Lu family.
"My father-in-law is polite, I have some good things in the Lu family when I go back, and I asked my grandfather to prepare some for my father-in-law. When my father-in-law leaves the palace in his spare time, he can also go to my grandfather's side for a walk, look, you are all old brothers for many years, and now you are finally reunited in Jiangnan, what a rare opportunity? Lu Zheng said.
Gonggong Feng laughed and said, "Gong Lu, our family is definitely going to visit!" Lu Gong is now prestigious, and he is getting stronger and stronger, His Majesty intends to let Lu Gong come out of the mountain again! Now that the DPRK and China are employing people, they need respected old-timers like Lu Gong to come to the town and do big things! ”
Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Lu Shanchang out of the mountain? Lu Shanchang has been idle at home for several years, is he going out of the mountain again? Lu Zheng suddenly thought that this might be a temptation of Emperor Xinde, Lu Zheng and Emperor Xinde have been in contact for a long time, although the situation in the world is a little chaotic now, but Lu Zheng has never dared to underestimate this person in the slightest.
But in terms of scheming and intrigue, Emperor Xinde's means are really high, and it is breathtaking that he can't prevent it, but at this time, he suddenly wants to let Lu Changhe go out of the mountain, which one is this singing?
Lu Zheng was surprised in his heart, but his face was silent, just chatting with Gonggong Feng or not, he had been waiting in the tea room for more than two hours, and Gonggong Feng suddenly came over and said, "Lord Lu, Your Majesty invites you to come over!" ”
Lu Zheng followed Gonggong Feng directly to Emperor Xinde's warm pavilion, in the warm pavilion, Emperor Xinde sat on the couch, with an urn of tea in front of him, he hadn't seen him for a while, his appearance had changed a little, and he looked thinner.
Looking at his clothes and clothes, he is still wearing a Taoist robe, but there is no embroidered gold on the edge of the Taoist robe, and his beard and hair are all white.
Lu Zheng walked up quickly, knelt on the ground in a proper manner, and said: "Wechen Lu Zheng has seen Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wechen failed to fight a good battle for Your Majesty in Lianghe, failed to guard the stall for Your Majesty, Lianghe suffered disasters, suffered heavy losses, and the people suffered crimes, this is all Weichen's fault!" Wechen begs His Majesty to surrender! ”
Emperor Xinde raised his hand and said, "Flatten!" I already know the matter of the two rivers, I can't blame you for this, I want to blame only the Lu Changhe, this fang is really ferocious, its moral degradation, the sinister mind is unbearable, hey, speaking of which, I used to be too merciful, always thinking that the prodigal son would not change his money. ”
Emperor Xinde slammed the teacup in his hand and said, "But these people can't turn back, and it is a scourge for the heinous people to leave them in the world, and I will not make mistakes again by such people who have brought disaster to the country and the people!"
Come on, spread my will, Lu Changhe harmed the people, heinous and unforgivable, and immediately exited the noon gate and beheaded him, and told the world of his crimes! ”
Lu Zheng prostrate on the ground, without saying a word, Emperor Xinde said: "Lu Zheng, why are you still kneeling?" ”
Lu Zheng said: "Your Majesty doesn't condemn you, Lu Zheng doesn't dare to get up!" ”
"Haha!" Emperor Xinde laughed and said, "You, you are really a young man's nature, I have told you what are your crimes?" ”
Lu Zheng said: "Weichen is the general manager of the march of the two rivers, even if he did not order the embankment to be broken, but he is also guilty of dereliction of duty, if Your Majesty does not punish him, I am afraid he will not be able to serve the public!" ”
Emperor Xinde smiled and said: "Okay, since this is the case, I will punish you for half a year, and in addition, remove you from the post of the chief of the two river marches, and you continue to work in the imperial court!"
The Jiangnan court was different from the capital, but the Jiangnan was more authoritative than the capital. I am sure that you will be able to do this job well and live up to my expectations! ”
Lu Zheng said proudly: "Your Majesty rest assured, Weichen will work hard to live up to Your Majesty's trust and expectations!" "Read with a quick eye _
