Chapter 296: Xianglong Shock
(3rd Update~!)
The emperor and Long Zhantian went out on the front foot, and the ministers on the back foot quarreled, and the officials of the dragon line naturally squeezed in front of Ye Zhiqiu and Liu Qingbai and asked what was wrong, and Liu Maosheng's group also gathered in a heap, not knowing what they were talking about. Long Yu hid in the dead corner of the beam, listening to the noise below, thinking about the emperor going out, that person should be the one who protects the emperor, and he will not slip away at this time, let alone when.
Taking a deep breath, Long Yu stroked down the column next to him, and stood still. Tiptoeing to glance out, the ministers gathered in the middle aisle of the side hall, Long Yu walked to the side window, the window was open to let in the wind, Long Yu jumped directly, and he turned over from this side hall.
"What, what you said is true!" Li Xian suddenly stood up from the dragon's collapse, and his face changed greatly. Long Zhantian's eyebrows tightened, and he nodded without thinking about it, and the emperor was stunned for a moment, and only said after a while: "The lord of Langya is old and frail, and he is about to die, this matter is strange. "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to send troops to arrest the envoys of the Langya State, and only by arresting the people who paid tribute this time can it be possible to ask something. "Long Zhantian hugged his fists.
Li Xian stared at Long Zhantian with complicated eyes and nodded. "Hongfu, you go to the imperial dining room, arrange the banquet to the palace of King Qin, remember, everything must be careful, bring the inner mansion over, and I will go over later. As soon as the emperor Chrysostom opened, the great eunuch who had been following him hurriedly kowtowed.
After the big eunuch kowtowed, he hurriedly walked out, and when he walked past Long Zhantian, he also gave him a slight gesture, and Long Zhantian's expression remained unchanged and continued to stand. "Zhan Tian, Yu'er sacrificed her life in the palace to save Yang'er that day, and I haven't thanked you in person. After the emperor made the arrangement, he immediately changed his expression and said with a smile.
Long Zhantian lowered his head and returned: "The minister doesn't dare, what the dog should do, Your Majesty has said it." The emperor smiled and shook his head, walked up to Long Zhantian, patted Long Zhantian on the shoulder, sighed and said: "Zhantian, when did you become so alienated from me?" Long Zhantian hugged his fists and said: "Where did Your Majesty say, Zhantian is a minister, Your Majesty is a king, there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, and there are etiquette laws to follow." ”
"Hehe, so many years of officialdom have also grinded you down, and now I speak in the same tone as those old pedants, I really don't know whether to be sad or happy. The emperor said with emotion. Long Zhantian smiled slightly, perhaps, at this moment, the emperor really remembered the old feelings, but now Long Zhantian is no longer the hairy boy who walks thousands of miles with the reins, he has been taken hostage by the royal family in this capital for more than 20 years, he should see it open, he should see through it, he already knows it in his chest.
"Let's go, let's go and appease the ministers, I guess this will be a lot of noise. The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and he greeted. Long Zhantian nodded, the emperor's Luan drove just out of this warm pavilion, and before he reached the gate of the side hall, outside the palace wall was shouting one after another: "Eight hundred miles to expedite the military situation, please the emperor~!" The emperor and Long Zhantian glanced at each other, both of them were stunned, now the world is too peaceful, even the last wave of traitors in the southwest has long been exterminated, now, where is the military information?
The emperor hurriedly walked into the side hall, set up the car, the ministers consciously stood on both sides, a moment later, a military errand ran in from outside the door, "plop" knelt directly in the hall, raised a letter with both hands, there was a close look, and suddenly the heart was half cold, the letter was stained with three turkey feathers, which means the highest level of military report, generally speaking, such a letter, either a rebellion or a foreign knock, anyway, it will not be a good thing, and it is not a trivial matter.
"Submit it!" The emperor waved his hand slightly, and the big eunuch who was waiting on the side screamed, and immediately the little eunuch ran down quickly and took the letter. The great eunuch took the letter, carefully opened it and handed it to the emperor, then stood up and drank to the audience: "Say..." The army had a dusty look, his face was full of tiredness, and he said in fear: "In the early morning of the fourteenth day of the first month, Langya gathered 100,000 troops, and even ordered me to Changping, Guang'an, Guangyuan three cities, and the general Yan Zhenhai was martyred, and when the last general left, Guangqing had already lost~!"
"What~!" This talk undoubtedly stabbed the hornet's nest, and the entire side hall suddenly exploded into a nest of paste, saying everything, Long Zhantian frowned, these four cities are the four important military towns in the north, lined up in a straight line, according to this, wouldn't the 100,000 people break through eight hundred miles in one day, and then Zhenjiang, the capital of the northern province, if Zhenjiang is also broken, then the entire northern province will fall.
There are a total of eight provinces in the Xianglong Empire, Eastern Province, Western Province, Northern Province, Southern Province, Northeast Province, Southeast Province, Southwest Province, and Northwest Province. The eight provinces have prefectures, counties and villages under their jurisdiction, and the highest administrative officer of the province is called the governor, and the highest military governor is called the governor.
"I am in the northern province, and I was rushed into eight hundred miles by thieves in one day, I want to ask, how did Darturtha, the governor of the north, become a governor~!" The emperor angrily threw the letter down directly. "The emperor, please calm his anger, I want to come to the Governor of Dartu without noticing in advance before being taken advantage of by thieves, just a piece of edict from Your Majesty, I have countless fertile land, countless elite soldiers and strong generals, a small Langya country, but it is a fleeting effort. An old man with a gray beard stood out of the queue and said slowly.
Long Zhantian glanced at it quietly, and sneered vigorously in his heart, not to mention the sudden defeat of Nadar, let the Langya army break through eight hundred miles in one day, such a big crime must be confirmed, whoever comes out to intercede at this time will undoubtedly hit the tip of the knife, and he is impatient. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the emperor rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Take off his official uniform, and beat me out of the palace with a stick." ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I am an old minister of the former dynasty, Your Majesty, you can't treat the old minister like this~!" The emperor waved his hand impatiently, and the Imperial Forest Army immediately rushed up, two strong men stepped forward, one of them clamped on the side, one of them gently touched the old man's face, the old man had a painful face, saliva and tears and a watery nose, which of the ministers present did not know, the old man's chin had been clearly removed, and they were all silent and trembling.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have an idea?" The emperor stared at these courtiers with burning eyes, those civil officials lowered their heads one by one, and their buttocks could shrink back as much as they could, and the military attachés, although there were a few who raised their heads with high chests and full of momentum, but when the emperor saw it, his heart was half cold. This Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there is no one available, thinking in his heart, his eyes turned to Long Zhantian, in this hall, if there is a general, it can only be Long Zhantian, Xianglong God of War is not called in vain, but the emperor has other plans in his heart, Long Zhantian, he can't send it.
Long Zhantian himself also knew in his heart that at this time, it was impossible for the emperor to let himself be in charge of the army, back then, he took back the military power from his own hands, he had a lot of effort, how could he easily hand it back. "Your Majesty, pay attention. Liu Maosheng stood up with a big belly. The Emperor raised his finger, "Tell me about it." ”
"Isn't the fief of the Marquis of Sanguang in the northern province, the minister thinks that he can issue an edict to let the Marquis of Sanguang assist the northern province to suppress the thieves. Liu Maosheng said slowly. The emperor's eyelids lifted slightly, but he didn't say a word. "No, Your Majesty, you can't hope for it, even if the imperial court sends troops, you can't let the Marquis of Sanguang lead the troops!" A thin man jumped out of the team and stopped it sharply, it was Yang Yu, who was known for his righteousness and loyalty.
"Lord Yang, according to what you said, the imperial court sent troops? This is past the New Year's pass, but when the country calculates, we Xianglong have to spend money on all kinds of matters, but it is a small border country knocking on the border, and the imperial court is used to send troops? Have you ever calculated, this comes and goes, not to mention delaying the fighter plane, how much money and food is spent on this?" Liu Maosheng asked in a gloomy and sympathetic voice.
"The fief of the Marquis of Sanguang is near Zhenjiang Mansion, even if the court does not issue an edict, he will definitely not sit idly by, as a nobleman of the court, this is his natural obligation, according to Lord Liu, His Majesty issued an edict, and the Marquis of Sanguang has the right to recruit soldiers, let me ask you, wait for this battle to be fought, the soldiers of the Marquis of Sanguang, are you cutting or not?" Yang Yu is also a righteous lord, bent on weakening the power of the local nobles, and he is going toe-for-tat with Liu Maosheng with his neck.
"In this whole world, in addition to the border army, the land of Xianglong is not guarded by these sub-nobles, I won't say much, your uncle Yang is also a nobleman in the northwest, if there is a war in the northwest, the court has no order, no edict, will your uncle lead the army to resist the enemy?
"You..." Okay, don't make any noise~!" The emperor raised his head a little irritably, forgetting that Yang Yu was the same, and said in his heart, this stupid man, let him raise a strategy to reduce the aristocratic feudal towns, but he didn't let him openly provoke here, didn't give an order, didn't issue an edict, you are stupid as a nobleman, you go to war with money and food on your back, and you don't care about the dead or wounded. "Long Qing's family, what do you think?" The emperor looked at Long Zhantian, there should be a proper way for this military department to be Shangshu.
"Your Majesty thinks that Lord Liu's method is feasible, but it is only a policy of rights and interests, because, even if the Marquis of Sanguang has money and food support, the temporarily assembled soldiers have no combat power, I think, and then, we must transfer the border troops in the northeast or northwest, so as to alleviate the situation in the northern provinces, and at the same time, from the standing corps of other provinces to draw elite corps support, according to the minister's estimate, the situation can be stabilized within a month, I think, the governor of Dartu, at least can hold out for fifteen days, within fifteen days, the border armies in the northwest and northeast can arrive。 Long Zhantian thought for a moment and returned.
"That's all I can do now, Zhun Qing, now, tell me, who will preside over the situation in the north?" the emperor nodded and continued to ask.
