Episode 10 Chapter 223
Chapter 223
After sending away Lingshuang, Tang Yin also planned to leave for the Wind Country, but at this time, Lotte sent a report, a report from Mo Guo Zeping County.
Located in the north of Zeping County, that is, near the boundary between the Mo Kingdom and the New Mo Kingdom, there is a forward fortress arranged by the Mo army, according to the information of the Tianyan exploration, there are about 500 Mo troops stationed in this fortress, among which no spiritual cultivators have been found, and they are basically ordinary soldiers. The function of this fortress is not to defend against the new Mozambican country, but mainly to serve as an early warning.
After reading this report, Tang Yin immediately decided to postpone his departure by one day.
Now the aura in his body is empty, and he desperately needs to recover, and this fortress of Mozambique, with no more troops, no less, and it happens to be not far from Cangping, which is suitable for him to make up for the aura.
That night, Tang Yin only took Cheng Jin out of the city on a fast horse, left Cangping, and quietly approached the fortress of the Mo army. The two of them left in the middle of the night on the third watch, and returned before the fifth watch, without alarming anyone.
It wasn't until noon the next day that the Mozambican army discovered that an accident had occurred in a fortress close to the capital of the new Mozambican state, and more than 500 soldiers inside were all killed mysteriously overnight.
The fortress was littered with stumps and severed arms, but most of the soldiers died in the barracks, and their necks were wiped in their sleep.
The whole fortress was covered with corpses, but it was not bloody, because there was no blood at all, but because of this, it looked extremely strange and terrifying, as if the more than 500 soldiers had been sucked dry of blood by monsters.
The new Mozambican side is unaware of the matter, and the Mozambican side will not publicize it, but tensions are spreading across the borders. It is inconceivable and unimaginable that such a tragedy happened in a fortress garrisoned by more than 500 people, and it was not even enough to light fireworks as a warning. The other fortifications along the border are all in danger, for fear that the same bad luck will befall them.
The next day, the energetic Tang Yin embarked on the road back to China, and when he left Cangping, the monarchs and ministers of the new Mozambican country went out of the city to see him off, the scene was grand, and the scale was so grand, as if Tang Yin was the monarch of the new Mozambican country.
Tang Yin left with the Wind Country's direct army, the Plains Army, the Tiger Wei Army, and the Flying Dragon Army.
After this war, the losses of the four armies were very serious, and when they were combined, there were only more than 200,000 troops. Fortunately, for the Wind Country, the war is over, and the Fourth Army can rest and recover after returning home.
A month later, Yancheng.
In fact, for Tang Yin, this war is not a victory, the Wind Country failed to annex the Mo State in one go, but for the other Feng people, this battle has been a complete victory, not only to rescue the precarious Yù State, but also to separate the Mo State into five counties, which greatly weakened the national strength of the Mo State, and with these five counties as a buffer, it is difficult for the Mo State to fight the Wind Country itself.
At present, there are gradually two voices in the country of the wind country for Tang Yin, the monarch, one is absolute support, thinking that Tang Yin is the hero who revitalizes and rises the country of wind, while the other voice has an opposing attitude, thinking that Tang Yin is reckless and fighting everywhere, resulting in a sharp decline in the young population of the country of wind, and now in the counties and counties of the country of wind, there are far more adult nv sons than adult men.
Seeing the imperial ministers and royal ministers who came to greet him, Tang Yin sat in a semi-open carriage and returned to the palace.
In the lobby of the palace, Tang Yin's three wives Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that his wife was coming, Tang Yin smiled on his face, walked forward quickly, and without waiting for them to salute, he first gave the gifts he brought back from Mozambique one by one.
The gifts he gave were all selected according to the preferences of the three NVs, the gift to Wu Mei was a sword obtained in the Mozambican country, the precious and rare jewelry was given to Fan Min, and the books in the Mozambican collection were given to Yuan Qianyi.
He knows the characteristics of the three ladies well, he is charming and martial, Yuan Qianyi likes to write and ink, and Fan Min appreciates money the most. For the gift he gave, the three NV were full of joy, and the husband's thoughtfulness also made them very useful.
In addition to these gifts, Tang Yin also asked his subordinates to divide a part of the gold, silver and jewelry captured in the war, put them into three boxes, and send them to the residences of Wu Mei, Fan Min, and Yuan Qianyi. He has never been a person who is xiǎo angry, especially to his own NV people.
After changing clothes, Tang Yin dressed in civilian clothes, and chatted with the three ladies in the garden of the atrium while eating refreshments, not talking about the bloody war, but only about some interesting and new things he saw in Mozambique.
In the middle of speaking, a guard hurriedly ran over, chā handed a salute, and said, "Great king, the palace has sent someone to urge, and I want the king to enter the palace immediately to face the saint." ”
It stands to reason that the first thing Tang Yin should do when he returns to the capital is to go to the palace to meet the Son of Heaven and tell him about the situation and results of this Fengmo War. However, he didn't pay attention to these at all, and after entering Yancheng, he rushed home non-stop to reunite with his three wives. Now, not only is the Son of Heaven waiting for him in the main hall of the imperial palace, but even the ministers of the imperial court are also present, and none of them are absent, waiting for him alone.
After listening to the guard's report, Tang Yin smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry! Let them continue to wait!"
The king has just returned to the capital, and the journey is tiring, so why can't he rest in the palace for a while? You go and tell the people in the palace that the king will not go to the saint today. Wu Mei looked at the guards who came to report the news, and said dissatisfiedly.
The guard hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Yes! madam!" As he spoke, he was about to leave, Yuan Qianyi raised his hand to stop him, first shook his head at Wu Mei, signaled her not to act impulsively, and then said to Tang Yin: "The etiquette cannot be broken, and the husband should not fall into the mouth of others for this matter!"
Tang Yin smiled and said indifferently: "Qianyi is too worried, don't say that no one dares to make irresponsible remarks, even if someone is dissatisfied with me, what can I do?" As he spoke, he waved his hand to the guards and said, "Just do what Mrs. Leping (Wumei) wants!"
"Yes!" the guard did not dare to delay any longer, and took the order.
Yuan Qianyi knew that the current Tang Yin no longer regarded the so-called Son of Heaven and the imperial court in his eyes at all, but he could think so in his heart, he should still be able to get by on the surface, otherwise those ministers in the imperial court would probably have trouble again.
She frowned and whispered, "Husband......"
Tang Yin patted her hand and said with a smile: "I'm really tired, and I don't want to see those mediocre talents in the imperial court again." ”
Hearing him say this, Yuan Qianyi didn't want to say anything more, and sighed faintly in her heart.
Tang Yin was too lazy to go to the palace, tiredness was only one aspect, and now it was true that he was uncomfortable.
The wounds on his body have been scarred, but they are extremely itchy, but there is no special effect to relieve itching, which makes him upset. It's a pity that he didn't have time to rest, so the two prime ministers, Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, both came to Mén.
The monarch has been away from the capital for so long, and there are really not many backlogs in the Feng Country, thanks to Shangguan Yuanji, the government affairs left to Tang Yin at this time are basically Shangguan Yuanji's report, aiming at the reform plan of the current Feng Country system and decrees.
The three ladies of other countries, Tang Yin, Shangguan Yuanji, and Qiu Zhen went to the study, and after sitting down, he yawned and asked: "I said the two prime ministers, is the matter really urgent that it has to be dealt with today, and it can't be changed to tomorrow?"
When Shangguan Yuanji heard this, he took a step back 'cunningly' and replied: "King, Wechen's affairs are not in a hurry, but Qiu Xiang seems to be in a hurry, and Wechen is here through Qiu Xiang's light. ”
Tang Yin smiled, raised his head and said, "Okay, let's talk about your non-urgency first!"
Shangguan Yuanji handed a volume of the newspaper to Tang Yin and said, "Great King, this is the legal reform proposed by Wei Chen. ”
Tang Yin took it curiously, unfolded it, and muttered, "Three checks and three trials?"
"Yes, my lord, as our country continues to fight, the population is withering more and more, which makes Wechen understand a truth, no matter what time it is, people are the most useful. Shangguan Yuanji said: "Every year, there are no less than 10,000 cases involving the death penalty in our country, and there are more than 100 cases involving the extermination of the nine ethnic groups. ”
"What does Shangguan mean that after the case is investigated, the process of the investigation will be reviewed, and then the review and review will be done, and finally the re-investigation and retrial will be done?" asked Qiu Zhen with an eyebrow.
Shangguan Yuanji nodded and said, "Although there are still discrepancies, that's roughly it." ”
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Qiu Zhen shook his head first and asked rhetorically: "How much manpower does this three-check and three-trial system cost, and how long does it take to delay?"
Shangguan Yuanji said: "No matter how much manpower is spent on the death penalty case and the case of exterminating the nine clans, once a person dies, he will not be resurrected, and when it comes to human life, how can it be a child's play? As for the delay will be very long, this is exactly what I want, the longer the delay, the more likely it is to discover new clues and new suspicious points, thus overturning the conclusion of the entire case." We should not enforce the decree with the mentality of executing the prisoner as soon as possible, but with the mentality of saving one or more lives as much as possible. ”
Qiu Zhen blinked, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "I can't understand the suggestion of the prime minister, and I can't agree with it. ”
According to Shangguan Yuanji's theory, it is tantamount to exonerating death row prisoners, and will this condone people's misconduct and lawlessness? This kind of thing cannot be concluded even in modern times.
He pondered for a long time and asked, "Is there really a serious problem with the population of our country?"
Regarding this point, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji had the same attitude, and the two nodded in unison, and said in unison: "Yes, king!"
