At the beginning of White Wolf Mountain, Li Chongjiu led the crowd to sacrifice to the altar of the sky.
The boulder under the altar is written, but in the summer and May of the fourteenth year of the great cause, there is Li Chongjiu, the assassin of Sui Youzhou...... Ji Room Dexi, Donghu Yao, Central Plains Ding Ling Group, Xiao Riding 100,000, Suiling Liaoshui...... The so-called one-time work and long-term leisure, temporary expenses and eternal tranquility also, is to seal the mountain and publish the stone, Zhaoming Shengde word.
Xue Wanche thought that at the beginning, it was precisely because Li Chongjiu broke 200,000 Khitans here, the Xi coalition army, the Weizhen Saiwai, Youzhou, and the Xue family saw their achievements that they had the heart to serve.
And today, Xue Wanche, Wang Junkuo with 7,000 fine horses, deep into the Khitan hinterland for thousands of miles, breaking countless enemies, and surrendering more than 100,000 of them, this battle achievement can be described as impressive.
The army arrived at the intersection of White Wolf Mountain, but saw smoke burning in the distance.
Tudiji said to everyone: "After the army broke the Khitan, Liaoxi County set up a fire pier here to transmit warning signals. ”
The generals were relieved when they heard this, and the army did not reach the front of the fire pier, but they saw that the large camp in front of them was here, and the large camp was full of soldiers and horses.
All the generals did not know why, and later the soldiers and horses in the camp came out, and it turned out that it was Li Chongjiu who learned that Xue Wanche, Wang Junkuo decided to return from the White Wolf Mountain, and ordered the general Wang Mahan to lead an army of 3,000 men and horses to the White Wolf Mountain in Liaoxi County to receive the army and return to the division.
Knowing that it was a false alarm, the generals let go of their hearts.
Youjing Linshuo Palace.
In the early days, all the officials of the court went to the palace, and in the past few days, because of Xue Wanche, Wang Junkuo led 7,000 cavalry to go deep into the Huo'er Shen grassland, and lost the news for 20 days, and the ministers were worried about it.
When going to court, the ministers couldn't help but sigh a little.
In the squad room of Zhongshu Province in the palace, there are more than a dozen officials on duty day and night, and any information about Huo'er's cautious military situation will be screened out of the folds and sent to Li Chongjiu's place for inspection as soon as possible.
But the ministers stretched their necks, waiting day and night, but they couldn't look forward to the military situation coming from the front.
Recent folk rumors. It has been rumored in the secluded capital, and the rumor narrates that Wang Junkuo, Xue Wanche's lone army went deep and pursued the Khitan enemy chieftain to Xianbei Mountain, but the army ran out of food and was defeated by the Khitan people and the Heishui Yan army. The 7,000 cavalry were all annihilated, and Wang Junkuo was captured. Xue Wanche was killed.
The news has noses and eyes, the battles of the army, and the names of several generals of the expeditionary force, all of which are vividly spoken, and it is doubly convincing when there is no news from the army. There are many family members of the expeditionary force in Youjing. He even listened to rumors and set up flags to commemorate his family.
This news was only Li Chongjiu, two Shangshu servants, and several confidant officials, who knew that it was a rumor, because Xue Wanche and Wang Junkuo sent the last military report, and they had decided to turn south. The army rushed to Wuhuan Mountain, and then returned to Liaoxi County from White Wolf Mountain.
However, this military newspaper was extremely secret, and except for a few confidants and officials, no one else knew about it, so in the absence of real information, many people listened to it.
The fate of the expeditionary army was uncertain, and the courtiers were also paying close attention to the military reports of Zhongshu Province.
There are hundreds of military information sent to the squad room of Zhongshu Province every day, but there is no news about King Xue and the others. At this time, even the 70,000 main forces of Guo Xiaoke and Zhang Xuansu, as well as tens of thousands of Khitans in the south, had already arrived in Yuyi Town, but there was no trace of the army of Huo'er Shen Grassland.
As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of bad news, you are afraid of no news. The ministers present such as Wang Qi, Chen Xiaoyi, Lu Chengqing, Wei Zheng and others have all been through the storm for a long time. Even if the worst situation can be dealt with, but there is no news at the moment, so they don't know where to start.
On this morning, all the ministers of the court looked at Wen Yanbo's expression, but seeing that he was calm and calm in front of the court, there was no difference, and he knew that he couldn't see any clues. I can only look at the two waiters in Zhongshu Province, Xue Wanshu and Ji Chuan.
Ji Chuan is face has been cold in the past few days, and his face is not good, and today he is even more gloomy, as if others owe him money, as for Xue Wanshu, although he didn't say anything, but seeing his frowning appearance, everyone knew in their hearts that there was still no news.
"Officials enter the palace!"
As the attendants shouted, all the officials were divided into two columns, civil and military, and entered the hall in accordance with the squad order.
After the pilgrimage, first the head of the household Shangshulin reported the summer grain of the six counties of Hebei.
Lin Dangfeng seemed to be worried about the military situation, so he didn't sleep well all night, and said several wrong things on the spot. Lin Dangfeng was inevitably frightened, sweat was dripping on his forehead, and all the officials saw that Li Chongjiu's expression was not good, although they did not reprimand him in the palace, but everyone knew that when there was no news of the expeditionary army, they all sweated for Lin Dangfeng.
Lin Dangfeng finally finished the matter of taxing summer grain, and Li Chongjiu said: "There are tens of thousands of people attached to the Khitan, waiting to be fed, and now the treasury is already beyond its means, and this year's new summer grain has become the top priority......
Speaking of this, Li Chongjiu looked at the ministers and frowned, and said immediately: "Zhongqing, I know that you are worried about the situation on the front line, but the loneliness is even more worrying than you, the life and death of the army are uncertain, and the capital protector who went out on the expedition is the second uncle of Lonely. If you can't be broken down for solitude, you shouldn't hang your head in the court......"
Just as Li Chongjiu was about to speak, suddenly a person hurried into the hall, but was stopped by the guards outside the hall.
Li Chongjiu saw that he was interrupted in the middle of his words, and when he saw that it was the maid of the inner court who trespassed into the hall, he immediately stretched out his palm and pressed it on the table.
When the ministers saw Li Chongjiu angry, they all bowed their heads.
Li Chongjiu took a deep breath and said: "This is above the court, discussing important matters, as a maid, she can go straight to the main hall, but it is a dereliction of duty of the inner court official, and the inner court official Gao Sheng was dragged down and punished for thirty first." ”
Gao Sheng, the inner court official outside the palace, changed slightly, and couldn't help but say: "King Zhao still invites ......"
Just as Gao Sheng was about to explain, his body was suddenly squeezed away, and the ministers were surprised and said that now in the main hall, can anyone trespass?
When I saw the person who came, I suddenly realized that it was the seven-grade chief who was on duty in Zhongshu Province, and the chief had the responsibility of going to the palace to report the emergency military situation.
Could it be that the two generals of King Xue have news? The ministers are all old experienced, and they don't look at what the other party says, but guess whether they are happy or sad from the other party's expression.
But seeing the anxious look on the other party's face, I don't know what it is.
The seven-pin master had accused, and presented a fold covered with fire paint. Everyone knew that only Li Chongjiu was qualified to open it in person, and anyone else dared to peep at it, and it would be a felony.
No wonder this seven-rank master did not dare to dismantle it in person, but presented it to the main hall.
Li Chongjiu asked, "Whose twist and turn?" ”
The chief said: "The head of the march of Saibei Province, the joint name of the capital protector of the weak water state!" ”
As soon as these words came out, almost all the ministers in the hall screamed. King Xue and the others not only had news, but also sent it in person, in any case, it was much better than having no news before.
"Fetch it!" Li Chongjiu sat back in his seat, waved his robe, and said loudly.
Above the lobby, the gloom was swept away in the blink of an eye.
The director handed over the fold to the chamberlain, who then presented it to Li Chongjiu himself. Li Chongjiu unveiled the fire paint and watched the folds in person.
Above the main hall, there was silence, and even the coughing sound was omitted, just staring at Li Chongjiu's face.
But seeing that Li Chongjiu saw the end of the performance and the ten lines, and finally closed the performance, his expression was calm as usual.
"Wen Aiqing." Li Chongjiu directly put the fold down, Wen Yanbo went up the steps, and Li Chongjiu took the fold with both hands.
Wen Yanbo, the ministers, did not shake his hands, and took over the recital and finished reading. When Wen Yanbo saw half of it, he put the fold aside, knelt down and bowed, and said: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, the two generals of King Xue have succeeded, and the Khitan will not be in trouble from now on!" ”
As soon as the ministers heard this, they woke up, and they bowed with Wen Yanbo.
Li Chongjiu laughed loudly and said, "All the secretaries, please get up!" ”
Li Chongjiu looked at Gao Sheng, the inner court official who was still kneeling in front of the palace, and said: "Today coincides with the great joy of our army, but your crime cannot be deserved, take the punishment!" ”
The official of the inner court said: "No." ”
Just as Li Chongjiu was about to accept the congratulations of the ministers, suddenly the maid outside the hall who was taken down by the guards shouted: "Manager Gao is innocent, it was the servant who begged him, there is really an urgent matter!" ”
Li Chongjiu was surprised when he heard this, looked carefully, and recognized that the other party was a maid serving Emperor Yang E, and his heart sank, and he immediately said: "Let that maid enter the palace!" ”
The maid immediately entered the palace and said to Li Chongjiu: "The maid knows that trespassing in the hall is a capital crime, but please let the maid tell me that when the queen was walking in the back porch today, she fainted. ”
"What?"
Li Chongjiu lost his temper slightly.
When the ministers heard that the queen fainted, there was a commotion, and Wang Jue immediately said: "The queen is the mother of a country, and it is a major matter of the state to violate the harmony of the body. ”
Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "Wen, Wang, and Chen, the three Zaifu, take care of the aftermath of the expedition, if the queen has nothing to do, she will return within half an hour." ”
After speaking, Li Chongjiu strode away from the palace and went straight to the harem.
But when I saw the harem, I was really busy, and the maid and the old mother were in a hurry.
Li Chongjiu entered the palace of Emperor Yang E, but saw Li Hu sitting on the top of the collapsed outside the hall with an anxious expression.
And Pingping, Room Deyun hurriedly comforted Li Hu on the side, Li Hu was also old, and everyone was afraid that he would be worried.
Li Chongjiu looked at Emperor Yang E's maid Fuyi and asked, "Fuyi, what's going on?" ”
Fuyi was also anxious and wept and said: "I don't know why, the queen said that she was tired these days, I said that I wanted to ask a doctor for treatment, but the queen said no, she disturbed the king, I got up early today and walked in the backyard after the queen, and suddenly saw the queen ......"
Speaking of this, the voice of the clothes was choked, and I couldn't say it anymore.
Mu Deyun said in the foreword: "Don't worry, husband, the queen is kind-hearted and will be fine." ”
Li Ying looked at a loss, and looked at the adult by Pingping, not knowing what was going on.
This is the chief medical officer stepping out, Li Hu also got up on the chair, and everyone rushed forward.
The chief medical officer carried the medicine box, pinched his beard and clasped his fists to Li Chongjiu and said: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, the queen is happy!" ”
