Chapter 531: The Stumbling Block
Changning and his entourage hurried to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang'an City ushered in a happy event at this time.
The elixir brought back by "Princess Changning" was really effective, the queen mother and the seven princes woke up safe and sound, and the seven princes recovered quickly and were able to get out of bed and walk, which made the emperor very happy.
The Empress Dowager learned that it was Changning who ventured to visit the tomb to find medicine for her, and rewarded Weiyang Palace with a lot of things, and the three princes who also made great contributions were also rewarded by the Empress Dowager.
Looking at the Shen family in Chang'an again, Shen Jinrong also received the elixir handed by Changning.
"Mu Shenggongzi," Shen Jinrong knew who gave it when he heard the word Mu Sheng, but he felt ridiculous in an instant.
Didn't Princess Changning just cure the Queen Mother's illness, why did she turn her head and give her medicine again, and ask her to take the princess order into the palace and present it to the Queen Mother?
Shen Jinrong couldn't understand Changning's intentions for a while, but she put away the medicine and sent someone to the palace to ask for a meeting.
Although she has no decree and is not the child of an official eunuch, Shen Jinrong is now married to Fang Qian, and with the name of the wife of General Zhenwei of the three grades, she can speak.
But when the letter was delivered to the palace, it was a mud cow into the sea.
Princess Changning is treating this part of "amnesia", so how can she pay attention to her.
Shen didn't get a response and didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he carefully put away the jade bottle and told Fang Qian about it.
The emperor came to Tianyan Palace and asked two hexagrams, both of which said that they were safe and sound, so they didn't ask.
However, there was good news from the border pass that was 800 miles expedited.
"Great victory, great victory!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the king of the county personally led an army of 50,000 to raid the Xiongnu tribe, captured 5,000 heads, and rescued hundreds of Qing'an prisoners."
The emperor was overjoyed and hurried to the Dasheng Treasure Hall to gather his ministers.
"Mu Qingyan's letter said that he wanted to keep General Li to garrison in Qing'an for a few days, as for this great victory, Mu Qingyan only wrote the results of the battle to more than a dozen people to ask for the title of promotion, but did not explain in detail how to fight, where to keep people to use," the emperor's eyes swept down: "Zhu Qing thinks, do you want to be accurate?" ”
Someone stood up and gave his hand: "Your Majesty, the slaughter of Qing'an City is a big thing, and now the entire Chang'an City has spread all over it, if you don't give an explanation to the people of the world, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”
"How do you explain, who do you want to explain?" Some ministers asked rhetorically.
This Qing'an guard is General Li, if it is really investigated, the first person to be responsible is General Li himself.
But no matter how carefully they picketed, Mu Qingyan and Princess Changning were not responsible.
If you want to give an account, who should you ask for this explanation?
"In this matter, I have to ask the eldest princess for advice." It was proposed.
Changning's entry into the house is not a day or two, and today's courtiers are no longer ashamed of Changning's "Chicken Sichen", and it is natural to talk about her.
The emperor narrowed his eyes: "Changning has been injured by the Queen Mother's illness recently, you don't know." ”
The ministers looked at each other.
Listening to His Majesty's meaning, it is obvious that he is reluctant to let the princess lose her reputation.
Qin Taifu stood up at the right time: "Now that my Great Chu and the Turks seem to have started a war, even if the Turks are fighting, my Great Chu should also be prepared, the king of Liaodong County and General Li Lao are the pillars of the country, and the ministers think that the matter is urgent, and they should also put the war first." ”
The emperor immediately said accurately, and asked about the carriages, horses, and food of the Ministry of War, and no one mentioned Changning again until late at night.
Everyone dispersed, but in fact, each had his own plan in his heart.
Even if the slaughter of the city is over, His Majesty will also reward the list of Mu Qingyan's requests.
There is only one article, which His Majesty personally approved in four words.
Blood debt and blood repayment.
It seems that His Majesty also hates the Qing'an massacre.
Eagle Eye closed the camp, and the gate celebrated.
It was arguably the most bittersweet battle they had ever fought.
This time, the soldiers of the Eagle Eye Pass finally understood why Liaodong was impregnable.
With such a clever general commanding the whole army, if Liaodong loses the battle again, it will be a hell of a thing.
"Mu Shuai, Lao Hu respects you a drink!" General Hawkeye Guan Hu stepped forward to toast.
They completely followed Mu Qingyan to kill pigs and sheep today.
"Mu Shuai, how do you know that the people of the Nadorol tribe will ask for help from the camp of King Zuo Xian at that time? My old Hu is picking up a big bargain this time, hahahaha. Lao Hu smiled from ear to ear.
Although this bait was Li Poyu's army, it was Lao Hu who "took it upon himself" to lead 5,000 cavalry to provoke the people of the Dorol tribe, forcing them to ask for help from the Zuoxianwang tribe, and creating an opportunity for Mu Qingyan to sneak attack the camp of Zuoxianwang's garrison.
In this battle, Lao Hu made the greatest contribution.
Mu Qingyan's 30,000 cavalry raged from the camp of King Zuoxian, and the 5,000 heads of the defenders were placed in front of the garrison camp.
is so arrogant that it is a shame before the snow.
The generals under his command have also made a lot of achievements.
Only Li Poyu is different.
He didn't eat the meat as the bait, he didn't drink the soup, and he almost got a reputation of "retreating from the battle", and he got a lot of complaints from his subordinates.
Li Poyu felt uncomfortable, his face was even more ugly, and he drank a lot of wine.
Seeing this, several generals restrained their laughter and looked at General Li a few times, intentionally or unintentionally.
Mu Qingyan's little shoes are extremely beautiful, so that Li Poyu can't say that he is suffering, they always want to complain about Li Poyu and don't know how to speak.
Now that the whole army has meritorious, only Li Poyu has not made an inch, not to mention what Li Poyu thinks in his heart, even General Li is afraid that he will not feel good in his heart.
Mu Qingyan swept the expressions of everyone on the field, as if he didn't realize it.
"Come, drink!" He toasted.
Li Poyu put down the wine bowl coldly.
The generals looked at him and then at General Li, and they all picked up the wine bowl one after another: "Admire Shuai." ”
Old General Li's expression was obscured by his beard, but you can also imagine his expression at the moment.
Mu Qingyan decided the battle in the first battle, and all the soldiers and soldiers were gods, so how could he remember him, the frustrated former commander.
"Boom!" Li Poyu smashed the wine bowl and staggered to his feet.
"Broken, you're drunk!" General Li scolded and ordered the adjutant to help Li Poyu go back to rest.
Mu Qingyan smiled, raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl, not paying attention to Li Poyu at all.
General Li's face was also a little unbearable, and he left under the pretext of being too drunk.
Mu Qingyan hugged his fists and saluted, ordered someone to send the old general back to the camp, and soon said: "Ben Shuai still has important things to do, you drink slowly." ”
He got up and left the table, looking in the direction to inspect the pass defenses.
The generals were both happy and worried when they saw this.
The joy is that they have met the wise commander, and the worry is that the commander is narrow-minded and skillful, and the son of the most tricky former commander has no effort, which really makes them a little breathless.
Only Lao Hu drank with a big grin, looking heartless, and he was not afraid of Mu Qingyan.
They are narrow-minded stupid people, he Lao Hu has never seen anyone more open-minded than the king of the county in his life, those who say that the king of the county deliberately stumbled Li Poyu are blind dogs!
Lao Hu grinned and drank a big bowl.
"I usually don't allow you to drink, but Lao Hu has to have a good drink today!"
With Lao Hu leading, all the generals also let go of the mustard in their hearts, and everyone enjoyed themselves.
The Li family father and son are in the tent.
"Dad, my son can't bear it anymore!"
General Li changed color: "What are you going to do?!" ”
