Chapter 25: The Wolf Bites

Donghuang Yufei saw Zhao Bingyan break in, and her head was hot, and she followed in, Zhao Bingyan knelt there cleanly and pleaded, but she was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do, and finally simply knelt on the ground with a thud. Li Yunqing was stunned by the two women, frowned slightly, and said to Zhao Bingyan in a deep voice: "The queen must have been outside the main hall for a long time, and you already know why Lord Wang resigned." ”

Wang Changling looked sad, turned to face Zhao Bingyan and said: "The queen's mother is indeed the old minister's thoughtfulness, and he knows it, which shows that the old minister is indeed missing a little bit of sincerity to the people in his heart. My emperor's talent is deafening, and the old minister can only make up for the guilt of the people in the disaster area by resigning, and ask the queen to fulfill it! ”

The anxious look on Zhao Bingyan's face gradually faded, she looked at Li Yunqing, and made the most solemn gift since she met Li Yunqing, put her hands flat on her forehead, and slowly kowtowed. Raising his head, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the concubines know how serious this matter is. I also know that the emperor's expectation for the officials is to put the people first and hold them in the palm of his hand! Turning his head and glancing at Wang Changling, he continued: "Lord Wang, as the head of the cabinet, is indeed to blame in this matter, and he should be punished heavily!" However, looking at the whole world, it is really difficult to find a capable minister like Lord Wang, and the emperor cannot easily allow him to resign! ”

Li Yunqing looked at Wang Changling, and finally fell on Zhao Bingyan's body and asked lightly: "What the queen said is also very reasonable, and I really can't bear Lord Wang." If it is according to the queen's wishes, how should this matter be handled? ”

Zhao Bingyan saw Li Yunqing relieved, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Since the emperor asked the concubine, the concubine has trespassed, and the concubine feels that Lord Wang should be demoted by two levels, and he is still in charge of the cabinet to see the after-effects." "The clear point of this work is that he leads the three-rank officials and does the work of the prime minister.

Li Yunqing nodded when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Wang Changling listened to the order, and he was negligent, causing the people of Fengliu County to suffer, which is really a big mistake, but I am an old minister of the three dynasties, and I can't bear to say goodbye to the monarch and ministers, so I will be demoted two levels and lead the cabinet." Li Yunqing walked down from the imperial court, came to Wang Changling's side, looked at him and continued: "Wang Qing, you are the old minister of Taizu, and you are the minister of Taizong, to say something from the heart, even if the queen does not intercede, I will not let you go." But I still have to punish you heavily, I just want to let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty firmly remember that the people are the cornerstone of my great country. The cornerstone must be solid, and if necessary, I would rather let the building collapse than keep the cornerstone! Have you made a note of me? ”

"The emperor's words are remembered by the old ministers, and they dare not forget them in the slightest." Wang Changling replied solemnly.

Li Yunqing nodded and said, "It's late at night, go back and rest quickly." Wang Changling heard that Xie En retired, and just walked to the door, he heard Li Yunqing's voice come again: "Chen Zhong, you send the prime minister back, and let the four Jin Wuwei escort you!" If you don't enter the house, you won't come back!" ”

Chen Zhongwen hurriedly said respectfully: "The old slave obeys the order, the emperor, you can rest assured, the old slave and the others will definitely send the prime minister home safely." ”

Wang Changling stood still, his eyes were full of tears at this moment. As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all graces of heaven, but it is really rare in the world for the emperor to be so meticulous to his subordinates. Turning around, Wang Changling respectfully kowtowed to Li Yunqing, and said in a trembling voice: "Long live the grace of the old minister!" ”

Wang Changling left, and there were only two daughters left in the Qinzheng Palace, Li Yunqing and Zhao Bingyan. Seeing that Zhao Bingyan was still kneeling on the ground at the moment, Li Yunqing hurriedly helped him up, and said angrily: "How many times have I told you, why can't you remember, you don't need to kneel in the palace, you don't need to kneel, why can't you remember?" I couldn't speak in front of Wang Changling just now, why are you still kneeling when he leaves? After saying that, Li Yunqing turned around and glanced at Donghuang Yufei, and said helplessly: "Get up, get up, is it comfortable on the ground?" ”

Zhao Bingyan wiped the tears in his eyes, held Li Yunqing's big hand, and said softly: "It's rare to see you angry, I was scared by you just now, so I rushed in." Can you promise me that no matter how big things are from now on, you won't be angry, I feel distressed. ”

Li Yunqing smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I can promise you, and I will agree to any of your requests." But I'm afraid of this, and it's useless to answer you. Don't you know my temperament, as long as you see that officials are not dedicated to the people, you are easy to get angry. Speaking of Taizu and Taizong, this is the inheritance of the Li family, and I am afraid that it will not be able to change it here! Seeing Zhao Bingyan's brows furrowed again, Li Yunqing's eyes rolled and said warmly: "But there is a way to make yourself less angry." ”

Zhao Bingyan's eyes lit up, and he asked softly, "Tell me, what is the method?" ”

Li Yunqing smiled playfully and said: "It's better to be like this, you will be by my side when I look at the excerpts, so that if I am angry, I will quickly calm down with you by my side, this method is the most effective!" "Fastest update s.. sm..

Donghuang Yufei couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she heard Li Yunqing's words, Zhao Bingyan glanced at Li Yunqing and said coquettishly: "Why are you so unserious in front of Sister Yufei, since you said that this method is effective, then I will stick to you." ”

Li Yunqing was about to speak, but he heard Yang Bin's somewhat anxious voice outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Northern Army is in an urgent hurry for eight hundred miles!" ”

When Li Yunqing heard this, his face instantly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in and talk!" Then he glanced at Zhao Bingyan and the two daughters, Zhao Bingyan understood, pulled Donghuang Yufei into the Dongnuan Pavilion, and then closed the door tightly.

Yang Bin entered the Qinzheng Palace, looked anxious, knelt on one knee, and handed it to Li Yunqing with a copy of the fold in both hands. Li Yunqing opened the memorabilia and saw that it was written by Yuwen Champion, the general of the Northern Army, saying that the northern grasslands suddenly launched an attack on our northern border city, and before the memora was issued, three counties in Bac Ninh Prefecture had been broken and completely occupied by the enemy, and the people of the three counties had been completely driven by the enemy as slaves. Hei Ge seems to have mobilized all the forces of the grassland this time, planning to invade the hinterland of Daqian on a large scale, and Yuwen Champion has ordered the entire northern army to counterattack in an all-round way, and launched a full-scale battle with the enemy, and the entire northern front is now full of smoke! The enemy army in the grassland was extremely fierce, and the Daqian army suffered heavy casualties, and the Yuwen champion asked Li Yunqing to decide.

Li Yunqing looked like usual after reading the recital, and sneered: "Okay, okay, the wolf of Heige has finally improved his ability and knows what it means to be a preemptive strike, okay." Speaking of this, Li Yunqing changed his words, and then said: "The decree is that the Eastern Army, the Western Army, and the Southern Army will each send 50,000 troops to support the Northern Army, and order the Ministry of War to transfer all the Zhenguo artillery in stock to the Northern Army, and order the Household Department to immediately raise grain and grass and send it to the Northern Army!" This time, I want to completely sweep away the plague of the grassland! ”

Yang Bin saw that Li Yunqing already had a plan in his heart, and said in a deep and respectful voice: "The minister's order!" ”

Entering the Dongnuan Pavilion and seeing that the two girls were looking at him intently, Li Yunqing smiled and said: "The wolf on the grassland has moved and started to bite, the time has come for me to hunt, and it should be time." ”

Zhao Bingyan sighed when he heard this: "This person's heart is the most difficult thing to figure out, Hei Ge has become the king of the grassland, the emperor, you are also a grace to the grassland, why can't he live a good life in peace for a few years?" ”
