Chapter 142: Forced to Conquer the South

There is no need for Wei Xiaobaoming to say this, the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and everyone knows it.

Previously, Wei Xiaobao wanted to lead an army of 300,000 to the south, but was rejected by Li Zheng, and the officials were very excited at that time.

If Li Zheng can get rid of Wei Xiaobao's dependence, it will definitely be beneficial to Jiangshan Sheji.

It wasn't until today that they knew how wise Wei Xiaobao's decision was at that time.

If you don't have foresight, how can you make the country permanent?

Li Zheng sighed and said, "Now that the blood corpse has been completed, how can it be good?" ”

Wei Xiaobao did not answer.

The blood corpse refined by Kong Liang, how powerful it is, can only be known by fighting, and it is meaningless to talk here at this moment.

Li Zheng turned to look at Liu Shangwen and asked in a deep voice, "How many soldiers and horses can the military department send out?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, if you transfer it from around Kowloon City, you can gather at most 100,000 people, Chang'an Dingjunpo is now stationed with 100,000 soldiers and horses, and then 100,000 soldiers and horses can be dispatched from around Chang'an, a total of 300,000 troops can be dispatched." Liu Shangwen replied tremblingly.

Bai Muliang's expression was solemn, he took Liu Shangwen's words, and added: "According to reliable information, Li Hao has recruited millions of troops in Nanming, if this news is true, the 300,000 army may not be able to stop Li Hao's million army." ”

"If the matter of worshipping the blood sect and the blood corpse is also true, I am afraid that it will ......," Liu Shangwen replied.

Listening to the meaning of the hundred officials, it seems that they are all accusing Li Zheng that before Li Hao gets the army of blood corpses, he should let Wei Xiaobao lead the army south, in that case, there will be no trouble now.

But all the officials knew that even if Li Zheng agreed at that time, they would oppose it.

The western expedition has just ended, and it consumes a lot of silver, and going south again will definitely shake the foundation of the country.

At that time, Li Zheng rejected Wei Xiaobao, but in private, he was applauded by all the officials, and bluntly said that Great Wei needed such a tough emperor.

Hundreds of officials are like grass on the wall, only to fall with the wind.

If all officials are honest and honest, for the sake of the people and the society, today's Great Wei will definitely be strong and strong, and the people will be rich and the country will be safe.

Li Zheng looked at Wei Xiaobao again, only to see Wei Xiaobao's eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xiaobao, is there a good plan?" Li Zheng's palms were full of sweat.

Wei Xiaobao smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, in addition to fighting to the death, we still have a good strategy?" ”

Li Zheng's eyes were full of despair.

All the officials bowed their heads.

In the face of the invading foreign enemy, all that can be done is to fight to the death, relying on the accumulated bones of the soldiers, to hope for victory.

Li Zheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Wei Qing, I order you to lead the army to support Kowloon City, and be sure to keep the thieves out of the Great Wei Dynasty. ”

"Yes." Wei Xiaobao had no choice but to accept the order.

After this incident, I believe Li Zheng will know that once he makes a wrong choice for some things, he will have to pay a greater price if he wants to redeem them.

Li Zheng had a splitting headache and waved his hand to let the officials stand down.

When Wei Xiaobao was about to leave, he was stopped by Li Zheng.

Wei Xiaobao turned around and asked respectfully, "What else does Your Majesty command?" ”

"Xiaobao, now there are only you and me, you tell me the truth, what is this victory?" Li Zheng's eyes were full of red bloodshots, and the whole person looked very haggard.

Wei Xiaobao reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your body is important, don't be too addicted." ”

Li Zheng's face was a little dark.

He was talking to Wei Xiaobao about business, but Wei Xiaobao was persuading him not to indulge in women?

A eunuch naturally doesn't understand the beauty of male and female love, otherwise, Wei Xiaobao would never say that.

Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's too early to talk about victory or defeat, when I fight with Li Hao and see the power of the blood corpse, all questions will have answers." ”

Li Zheng sighed.

Leaving the Qiankun Palace, Wei Xiaobao came to the imperial dining room and the celebrant one after another.

While the celebrant was chatting with the eunuchs, Xiao An rushed over.

"Master, it's no good, Your Majesty went to the Peony Palace." Xiao An said urgently.

Li Zheng was in a depressed mood, thinking about it, but still wanting to talk to Zhang Hatdie.

Thinking back to the previous friendship between them, Li Zheng felt that only Zhang Hatdie could understand him and soothe his wounded heart.

Wei Xiaobao was quite speechless and said, "Your Majesty went to see the queen, isn't it normal?" ”

Xiao An made such a fuss, it was really inappropriate.

If it is seen by someone with a heart, it will naturally associate Zhang Hatdie's disappearance with Wei Xiaobao's head.

"Master, but ......" Xiao An was a little confused.

Wei Xiaobao reprimanded: "Serve Your Majesty well." ”

Xiao An was quite aggrieved and left with his head down.

After Li Zheng found out that Zhang Hatdie was missing, those palace maids and eunuchs in the Peony Palace were afraid that they would not escape death.

After thinking about it, Wei Xiaobao decided to go to the Peony Palace to have a look.

As soon as he left the celebrant supervisor, Xiao An reappeared, panting and said, "Master, Your Majesty is invited." ”

In the Peony Palace, Li Zheng leaned on the edge of the bed, carrying a pot of wine in his hand, and his face was flushed from drinking.

Wei Xiaobao stepped forward and saluted, stood beside him, and said nothing.

"My butterflies are gone, and I ask them, this one says I don't know, that one says I don't know, and I want to kill them all." Li Zheng's mouth was full of wine, and his words were a little unclear.

Wei Xiaobao said: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to investigate, and I believe that the truth will be found out soon." ”

"The truth? What else can there be, the truth is that butterflies were killed by these minions. Li Zheng was furious and shouted for Zhan to think twice.

Zhan Sansi came in in a panic and knelt on the ground.

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "Kill all the people in the Peony Palace." ”

"Yes." Zhan Sansi led the order.

But at this moment, Wei Qi hurriedly came in, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the overseer, the slave and maid have found out that as early as half a month ago, the queen mother pretended to be a palace maid and secretly went out of the palace. ”

Li Zheng was stunned and said, "What did you say?" ”

"The queen is out of the palace by herself." Wei Qi replied in a trembling voice.

Li Zheng sat down dejectedly and muttered, "Could it be that the butterfly is desperate for me?" ”

Wei Xiaobao took the opportunity to persuade: "Your Majesty, since the truth has been ascertained, the ...... of the Peony Palace"

"All of them will be killed." Li Zheng was extremely indignant.

Wei Xiaobao said: "They are innocent, Your Majesty is doing this, I'm afraid it will be ......"

"Wei Qing, just do your part." Li Zheng scolded coldly.

The implication is to let Wei Xiaobao not go beyond it.

Wei Xiaobao stopped talking and quietly withdrew.

Outside, the guards were killing those palace maids and eunuchs with their canes, and the screams were particularly terrifying.

Looking at the corpses that were killed by the cane, as well as the palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling beside him and trembling, Wei Xiaobao was a little unbearable.

Even if Li Zheng sent someone to investigate this matter, he would not be able to find Wei Xiaobao's body.

was about to leave, but saw Li Zheng walk out of the Peony Palace, called out to Wei Xiaobao, and said in a low voice: "Xiaobao, I have thought about the establishment of the Jinyi Guard you said, it is indeed necessary, but can Tie Feixue really take on a big responsibility?" ”

Wei Xiaobao chuckled: "Your Majesty still can't trust her?" ”

When Li Zheng was still the prince, Tie Feixue helped Li Zheng many times.

Li Zheng nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Okay, then this matter will be handed over to Tie Feixue to be fully responsible." ”

Wei Xiaobao nodded.

"This southern expedition, be careful in everything." Li Zheng gently hugged Wei Xiaobao.
