The next morning.

Emperor Li Cheng looked at the hall below that had become a little empty, and he couldn't help but be happy.

In the end, only the 'traitorous ministers' were left in the court.

All the 'loyal servants' were driven out.

It's comfortable.

He leaned back in the dragon chair quite comfortably.

This kind of posture of the emperor has no majesty, before it was changed, someone must have said this and that, but this time no one spoke.

Many ministers only thought that His Majesty was very happy to make this gesture.

Seeing this, Gonggong Xu coughed slightly, stood up and said, "There is a book, but there is no book!" ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The originally silent court hall instantly exploded as if it had exploded.

One by one, the ministers all strode out.

"Your Majesty, the minister has this to play!"

"Your Majesty, the minister also has this ...... here."

"There is also a ...... in this way"

“……”

Li Cheng looked at these excited ministers.

A smile curled up at the corners of his mouth.

These people saw that all those 'loyal ministers' had been transferred, and they all jumped out and wanted to embezzle?

"Don't worry, say it one by one, I will play it all right."

Li Cheng smiled and waved his hand.

With his mobilization, order was soon restored.

Many ministers said one after another.

These people all mean the same thing, they are all talking about the things that those officials who have been transferred to make trouble and are pacified by them.

It's a good thing that the 'loyal ministers' made trouble and were suppressed by you.

When Li Cheng heard this, he waved his hand, which directly doubled the monthly income of all the officials.

At this time of festivity.

Knock knock knock......

The bells and drums in the palace are struck.

"Eight hundred miles expedited! Military rereport! Don't stop! ”

A shout came from outside the palace, and even the ministers and Emperor Li Cheng in the Hantian Temple could hear it.

Military re-reporting?

A thought came to the minds of Baiguan and Li Cheng.

The Crusade front has already achieved results?

It's not as apprehensive as the hundreds of officials.

Li Cheng's eyes lit up.

Here it comes!

The most important part!

As long as the Eastern Expeditionary Army is defeated, the Tang Empire will no longer have any life at all, and when his eldest brother rises again, the Tang Dynasty's national strength will definitely be finished.

He'll be able to go back......

"Swift announcement of the envoy's visit!"

Li Cheng immediately shouted loudly.

After a while, the front-line envoy Meiyu walked into the Hantian Temple with a happy face, with a few arrows stuck behind his back.

The envoy walked into the main hall, knelt down and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Congratulate......

Isn't it a defeat?

How is congratulations.

Hear the word.

Li Cheng's heart was half cold, but there was still a trace of luck, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Read the battle report." ”

Mantian Buddha ......

Jesus......

Bless this battle report is a defeated battle!

The envoy picked up the battle report with a happy face and read it, and said: "In the second year of the Chengde calendar, the last general will be ordered by His Majesty to personally lead an army of 100,000 to attack the Dongyi country, and the cause of the war originates from the one-year period of the Chengde calendar, and the envoy of the Dongyi country entered the Hantian Temple, and stepped on the left foot first, which is to disrespect His Majesty......"

The Chengde calendar is the name of the dynasty of this dynasty.

It's just that......

This reason for sending troops made the corners of the mouths of all the civil and military officials twitch.

It is because this Tang Dynasty respects the right, and when they enter the hall these days, they all step on the right foot first.

For fear of being caught by the emperor, then if the emperor does it to himself in the future, there will be a reason.

Maybe ten years later, he suddenly committed some taboo of the emperor, and the emperor came to say, 'Ten years ago, when I entered the Hantian Palace, I entered with my left foot first, because I didn't respect me, and I wanted to cut you'.

The envoy continued to read: "The last general crusaded against the Dongyi country, fortunately His Majesty laid out, no casualties to conquer the Tianying Pass, and then even the fifteen cities of the Dongyi country, and now the troops are in the capital of the Dongyi country, and please ask Your Majesty to signal, what should I do next?" ”

Bang dang......

Li Cheng felt cold all over.

What's that?

Did the Crusade Army really win the battle?

Can that group of crooked melons and cracked dates win the battle?

How wasted should this Dongyi country be?

It can't all be a bunch of savages!

So not beaten.

Wrong.

Now, it shouldn't be these......

Li Cheng took a deep breath.

Fifteen cities of the enemy country will be taken down in a row, and when the national strength is tested next week, the national strength index will definitely skyrocket!

No, he must not watch the country's strength grow wildly.

Directly order the army to retreat and abandon all the cities?

Yes!

Li Cheng was about to announce this order, but the system suddenly warned him that this was an illegal act of defeating the country.

He was stunned.

This is still an illegal defeat of the country......

However, it's right to think about it.

Those fifteen cities are now considered the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and his withdrawal of troops now is no different from ceding the territory.

How could the system not warn him?

No, you have to find a reason.

Li Cheng began to think hard about the reason.

Many of the ministers below bowed in unison.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

How could these ministers not be frightened, they were not optimistic about the Eastern Crusade at all.

Can a soldier of the Yulin Army win when he is in command?

No kidding.

But reality slapped them in the face.

This time the crusade has been won!

And it's not a small win!

It's a big win! Soldiers are approaching the capital of the enemy country!

If you continue to play......

Will it directly annex the entire Dongyi Kingdom?

Dongyi has always been an obstacle to the outside world of the Tang Dynasty, hindering the external perception of the enemy countries of the Tang Dynasty.

If it is to annex the Dongyi Kingdom, then ......

Can Datang see a new world?

Li Cheng looked at the ministers below kneeling on the ground and gritted his teeth, no matter what, he must not let the results of the battle continue to expand now.

He waved his hand and said, "Spread my will, so that Han Yu must not continue to attack the city of Dongyi Kingdom!" This is the end of the Crusade! The follow-up will be handled by the prime minister, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army will return to the DPRK! ”

Stop the offense?

Why!

Now is a great opportunity!

As long as you do your best! Then the Dongyi Kingdom will almost be destroyed!

Many ministers looked at Li Cheng in puzzlement.

It seems that he wants to hear Li Cheng explain the reason.

Li Cheng looked out of the hall with a gloomy gaze and a sad face.

Zhuge Wuming also didn't understand why the emperor wanted to return to the dynasty at this time.

But when he saw the emperor's face, he understood everything at once.

Many thoughts came to mind.

He let out a long sigh and stood up and said, "Minister, obey Your Majesty's holy decree. ”

Many ministers looked at Zhuge Wuming in puzzlement.

Zhuge Wuming waved his hand at them and signaled to go back and talk again.

"Retreat."

Li Cheng said tiredly.

Seeing this, Gonggong Xu said in a loud voice: "Retreat!" ”

Li Cheng got up directly and walked outside, looking preoccupied.

"Congratulations to the emperor!"

The hundred officials knelt down and bowed, and did not stand up until Li Cheng walked a little farther.

The civil and military officials glanced left and right, and slowly came out of the Hantian Palace, they all surrounded Zhuge Wuming, and wanted Zhuge Wuming to explain to them what His Majesty meant.

Zhuge Wuming stood in front of Hantian Palace, looking at the yellow-robed figure in the distance, he sighed and said, "Your Majesty, what an actor......"
