The Battle of the Western Regions shocked the Central Plains.

Because the Western Regions and the capital of Luoyang are really far away, the country of Qiuzi went west to Luoyang for 8,280 miles. In particular, there are many deserts and Gobi along the way, and the roads are difficult to navigate.

Therefore, by the time the war in the Western Regions reached Luoyang, it had lagged behind for a long time. The imperial court just received a report that the Anxi patrol cavalry fought with the Qiuci army, and when Monk Xu broke 10,000 with 500, in fact, on the Western Regions, Monk Xu broke more than 10,000 troops of the Prime Minister of Qiuci again.

By the time the imperial court received Monk Xu to break the Qiuzi Wanjun again, Liu Heifu had already led Ashina Mi and Ashina Sheer to capture the Qiuzi royal city of Yilulu City at night.

By the time the imperial court learned that the capital of Qiuzi had been breached, Cheng Yanjin had already led a large army to slaughter more than 200,000 rats and Nishi people in Yingsa River······

The seriously lagging intelligence information and the rapid changes in the situation in Anxi made it difficult for the imperial court to make decisive orders.

Therefore, later, Emperor Luo Cheng simply asked the Privy Council and the Ministry of War not to interfere with Anxi for the time being, and let Cheng bite Jin and them.

Even when the news of Cheng Biting Jin's slaughter of more than 200,000 rats and Nishi came out, and the DPRK and China demanded the removal of Cheng Biting Jin with a large number of impeachments, and even let him come back for investigation and questioning, Luo Cheng did not send it.

The front line is fighting, or the battle of destroying the country, how can the emperor change commanders at this time. Regardless of whether Cheng Yanjin is right or wrong, since the battle is good now, he has to let him finish this battle.

After the battle of the Western Regions was completely settled, Luo Cheng waited for a while.

At this time, the war in the Western Regions was already very clear to the Central Plains, and there were more imperial historians who wanted to impeach Cheng and bite Jin, and even some prime ministers began to propose to transfer Cheng and bite Jin back to the dynasty.

Xuanzheng Palace, this is an increasingly important pre-imperial meeting recently, can participate in the Xuanzheng Palace, only the chief officials of the Political Hall, the Hanlin Yuan, the Privy Council, and the Imperial Historical Tower, in addition to the emperor's personal assistant secretary and provincial secretary, the inner chamber of the province and the palace of the palace can also attend.

In addition, even the generals of the Zhuwei and the secretaries of the temples and eunuchs of the various temples who did not worship the prime minister were not eligible to participate, and if there was an issue involving them to summon them, they were only present at the meeting.

Outside the Xuanzheng Palace.

Feng Lishi, the inner chamberlain, stood under the porch, his hands in his sleeves, and he looked at the sky from time to time.

"Tomorrow is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the day after tomorrow is the Great Zhengdan Dynasty, and it will be the sixth year of the new century, but why hasn't it snowed until now."

A eunuch next to him hurriedly said, "Yes, it hasn't snowed yet this winter, it's really strange." ”

"There have been a lot of rumors outside, and there are all kinds of rumors, and I even heard that there are prisoners in the country's prison who associate this snow with Cheng Dudu's slaughter in Anxi."

Feng Lishi sneered, "Nonsense, the battle of Cheng Dudu in the Western Regions has only been fought for a long time, and it has already entered winter before the war starts on this day, but it has not snowed a single day." ”

"Yes, those scholars always like to talk about it."

"The time for deliberation is almost up, don't talk about that, cheer me up, and I'll have to wait for it later." I went to greet the saint and ask him to come over. Feng Lishi said.

As the governor of the palace province, he is a eunuch, but because he can assist the emperor in disposing of the secret fold, so his power has increased greatly, although the right to dispose of the secret fold is not his exclusive right, the secretary and the inner chamberlain also have the right, but after all, they can also have access to secrets, compared to the previous only to do some chores in the palace, it is not the same, and their three eunuchs are now also known as half-phases.

The sky was still just bright.

But the Zaifu have already arrived.

Those who can participate in the deliberations of the Xuanzheng Palace have been given the qualification to ride horses in the palace by the emperor, and old ministers such as Zhang Xutuo have even obtained the qualification to ride in the palace.

Feng Lishi went to see the emperor, and then returned to the front of the Xuanzheng Palace, and when he saw the arrival of the Zaifu, he said to the two young eunuchs and a few internal officials, "Let's go over and greet them." ”

The first to arrive were the secretary and supervisor Wang Qi and the inner chamberlain Wei Bokuang.

These two, like Feng Lishi, are close ministers of the emperor, but the two are civil ministers after all, so they are no worse than Feng Lishi in the palace.

"Gong Feng is here a long time ago?"

"Well, our family is in charge of chores, so naturally we have to come early, and the two eunuchs also came early."

Wang Jue, born in a famous family of Taiyuan Wang, is the grandson of Wang Shengbi of the Southern Dynasty. Wei Bokuang, the grandson of the famous general Wei Xiaokuan, is also the father of Emperor Xinna's Venison, and is also the uncle of Wei Qi of Xinna.

Jingzhao Wei's and Taiyuan's Wang are all famous, although they are not as good as before, but the two of them are from famous families, and they are indeed very talented, and because Wang's daughter and Wei's daughter are both emperor's harem, so now both of them hold this important position as a eunuch.

"The affairs of the palace are ready for the proceedings." Feng Lishi smiled at the two.

"There's Lao Fenggong."

"It's all my business, and it should be." Feng Lishi said with a smile.

Webber Kuang said, "Today's deliberation is mainly about the war in the Western Regions, I don't know what the tone of this meeting is, has Gong Feng seen His Majesty, has His Majesty revealed it?" ”

"Just now, our family asked the saint to say goodbye, and the saint was practicing arrows, and he only said that he would come to the meeting on time for a while, and he didn't say anything else."

Wang Qi said, "I think this meeting is not very easy to hold, and the most troublesome thing is how to deal with Cheng Yanjin." If Your Majesty doesn't speak, it's hard to get results. ”

Feng Lishi said softly, "Recently, Cheng Dudu has caused controversy in the Manchu Dynasty, but His Majesty has never expressed his position on this matter, and we think that this is actually an indication of attitude." ”

Wang Qi thought thoughtfully, "Thank you Gong Feng for reminding me." ”

"Our three eunuchs are also close ministers of His Majesty, and at the meeting for a while, we can't go against His Majesty's intentions." Feng Lishi said, as the head of the three inner provinces, they naturally can't be compared with the government, but since they are close ministers of the emperor, they naturally have the same attitude as the emperor, and even have to charge for the emperor.

"In fact, no matter what, this battle in the Western Regions has indeed played the prestige of my Great Qin and deterred those who are ready to move, not to mention, after this battle, my Great Qin has added three more counties in the Western Regions. This is all a good thing, the imperial court opens up its territory and expands its territory and raises its prestige in the Western Regions! ”

"Yes, Cheng Yanjin didn't let the imperial court mobilize soldiers and horses, increase food and salary, and on their own, they wiped out the rebellious Qiuzi and Rat Nishi, which is a great achievement."

The three of them are also human spirits, and the emperor has indeed not expressed his stance on Cheng Yanjin's impeachment recently, but the emperor does not express his position, in fact, it also shows an attitude of the emperor. As close ministers of the emperor, especially those who can assist the emperor in handling secret affairs, they are actually people who know more about the emperor's thoughts.

"Okay, let's set the tone at that meeting." Weber Kuang said. There are some words, the emperor is not good to stand up and say it himself at the beginning, but they can.
