"Urgent war report."

When Lu Qian heard these four words, his heart tightened, and he opened his mouth and said, "Take it." ”

He is the prime minister, and he wants to see that nature gives it to him first.

Lu Qian quickly opened it and carefully read the entire battle report from beginning to end.

The first time was rejoicing, this battle was won, the border line was pushed to Liangchuan, the Hu people were driven to the depths of the grassland, and the northwest frontier had at least twenty or thirty years of peace.

Such an achievement can be regarded as worthy of Emperor Taizu.

The second time it was a frown. The battle report briefly wrote how to arrange the troops, but it focused on the process of Yang Shu secretly training elite soldiers with the double chain method, summoning the iron-clad guards to make peace with them, and breaking through the left and right flanks of Hu soldiers. And he did not shy away from saying that this is the key to this big victory, and he should be the first to take the lead.

By the third time, Lu Xiangye's heart had sunk straight down.

This war report is Zong Xu's tone and Guo Xu's handwriting. That is, both of them agree with this result.

To say that those rumors did not spread to the northwest, Lu Qian absolutely did not believe it.

Zongxu commanded the troops outside, and he always kept an eye on the wind direction in Beijing.

In the battle report before this, Yang Shu was mentioned in one sentence, which shows that the two of them knew the emperor's taboos.

On the premise that they knew that the emperor didn't like it, and heard the rumors, they also boasted about Yang Shu's military exploits, what does this mean?

They want to protect him!

Lu Qian took a deep breath.

Is this the result of Fu Jin's kid asking him to wait?

"Old man, is the result not good?" An official asked cautiously.

Lu Qian raised his head, saw Qi Shushu's gaze rushing towards him, and handed over the battle report: "You can see for yourself." ”

The war report was sent directly to the government hall, and there was no room for manipulation at all.

In other words, even if the emperor doesn't like it, Yang Shu's credit is ironclad.

Sure enough, when the others saw the contents of the war report, they celebrated vigorously.

Some officials even jumped on chairs laughing and dancing.

This is an unprecedented achievement in the 48 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China!

Just a year ago, the war report of Zongxu's troops to the grassland was sent to the political affairs hall, and a heated debate broke out here.

After forty-eight years of peace, many people were afraid of war.

There is Hu in the north, and there is Chu in the south, how can they complete the great cause of unification that Taizu failed to complete back then?

But there are also some people who strongly support the dispatch of troops. If you don't do such a good opportunity as the Hu Chaos Rebellion, reunification will really be a dream.

In the end, the seventy-year-old old man Lu Qian said that the Hu people brazenly moved their swords, and it was inevitable to send troops, and the Northwest Army was trapped in a lonely city, and still succeeded in defeating the enemy with outnumbered enemies, which was not good to shake the morale of the army.

As a result, the main battle faction overwhelmed the main peace faction, and even the emperor's wishes were rejected by them.

If Zongxu can't come up with the results of the battle, they, the main battle faction, will inevitably settle accounts after the autumn.

Well, now Zong Xu not only came up with the results of the war, but also won the whole war!

The northwest is pacified! The border line is pushed to Liangchuan! This is a thousand years of work to expand the territory!

After the initial euphoria, officials began to discuss what reward to give Zongxu.

The Zong family has made great achievements in war for generations, and Zong Xu has long been in the country, and this title is not rewarding - you can't really give him the title of king, right? If you have a different surname and become a king, you can only posthumously seal it after death, otherwise no matter how big your military exploits are, you will not have this option.

can only reward others, give the children a shadow, reward the daughter's fate, or give him a more beautiful title, by the way, you can also marry.

The discussion was in full swing here, and someone over there looked at the battle report and interrupted the discussion of his colleagues: "Wait a minute, have you read the battle report carefully?" Zong Xu didn't mention himself in half a word, and the first credit he said was someone else! ”

Well?

The ministers drilled over together, put several heads together, and read the battle report from beginning to end again, only then did they discover the content behind the good news.

Yang Shu!

Zong Xu said that the first credit should be the son of the Yang family of the Marquis of Boling, Yang Shu, the pastoral supervisor of Gaotang!

There was an eerie silence in the government hall.

After a while, someone finally said: "What kind of joke is Zongxu making?" Report war exploits to a pastoral overseer? Or is it the first merit? ”

Some people also weakly replied: "He is the commander of the army, and it is his duty to report his military exploits to whom." What's more, the war is urgent, and the shepherd's temporary requisition to the battlefield is reasonable......"

Zong Xu himself thinks so, what else can they say?

If this battle is successful, Zongxu's prestige will reach the extreme, even if the emperor is not good at this time.

What's more, such a big victory must be reported to the mansions. Zong Xu was iron-hearted, and they could only admit it.

It's just that all the people present are close ministers of the Son of Heaven, who doesn't count the emperor's thoughts?

They can't help but slander, Zongxu is crazy, right? If you go against the emperor's wishes, no matter how great the credit is, sooner or later you will be liquidated.

That's it, they will have to find a reason to control the sect family in the future, since he sent a ready-made one, let's stay first.

So this battle report was sent to the imperial front on the same day.

In front of the ministers, the emperor was happy.

The happy emperor ordered a banquet on the spot to celebrate such a great victory.

The news of the great victory in the northwest soon spread to the market, and the whole Yunjing rejoiced, and the rich families gave out happy money in a big way, and the small traders all discounted it.

People talked about the details of the war as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

The third son of Yang who was out of Beijing returned to their field of vision with such a posture, which can be called a rebirth.

Compared with General Zongda, who has always been famous, a prodigal noble son was expelled from the capital, and he came back two years later with his military exploits, which is much more topical.

So, in the teahouse and restaurant, people who have not forgotten this past have talked about the former Yang Sangongzi, how he was ridiculous and romantic, how he was foolish and debauched, and how he was depressed when he was exiled from Beijing.

Even those who had a peachy scandal with Yang Sangongzi had a peachy scandal, and their status was high because of the arrival of guests......

After the banquet was dispersed, the emperor returned to the Mingguang Palace.

Only a few candles were lit on the menorah, and the palace people were waved away by the emperor.

An attendant hurriedly entered the main hall with a dusty motive in his arms and bowed respectfully: "Slave Liu Shuangxi, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and listened to the voice, looked away, and asked in a dumb voice, "How?" ”

Gonggong Liu hung his head and replied, "There is no news from the night bat. ”

After a quiet breath, the emperor suddenly became angry, raised his sleeves and swept away, and smashed all the pieces and inkstones on the imperial case.

Gonggong Liu hurriedly knelt down: "The slave is incompetent, Your Majesty is angry." ”

The emperor sneered: "My Imperial City Division, I can't even complete such a task, what are you doing with it?" Do they still have the face to call themselves night bats? ”

Gonggong Liu bowed his head and was silent.

He knew that no matter how much he argued at this time, it would be useless.

The emperor was even more irritable.

Expanding the territory was originally a thousand-year-old achievement, and his reputation in the history books must have risen sharply because of this incident.

It's just that in such a happy thing, there is something that makes him sick.

Like a fish in the throat, like a mango in the back.

I can't spit it out, I can't pull it out.

The emperor took a deep breath and asked, "It seems that such a battle feat can only be crowned a marquis, right?" ”

At the feast, he heard the ministers discussing the title.

Gonggong Liu knelt lower: "The slave doesn't understand this." ”

"Heh, hehe!" The emperor kicked the last foot on the imperial case, and walked back with a blue face.

But he had only walked a few steps, and Wan Dabao's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangye asks to see you." ”
