Chapter 24: Regaining Military Power

Li Falcon was already haunted by the fiasco last time, but now that Li Hao gave an excuse, he had a plan to push the boat along the river.

So he found an opportunity and lost his temper in the court, but he didn't directly admit the truth of this matter.

After all, if he admits it directly, wouldn't it show that he knew the truth before, and he has confirmed his reputation for bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

He first pulled Li Shouji out and questioned him, because he was the one who characterized the case in the first place, and now that there is a mistake, the accountability will naturally not be able to escape.

"Boss, how did you give me a report in the first place, you said that Empress Zhaojie died in an accidental fire, so what explanation do you have for the rumors outside."

Of course Li Shouji knew the truth of the matter, he obviously mentioned the abnormality in the report at the beginning, but the problem Li Falcon didn't let people check it!

It's just that in the main hall, it is obviously unwise to throw the pot to Li Falcon in public, and he will definitely not be able to take the blame himself.

So at the first time, he pulled out Andu Mansion Yin to block the gun.

replied: "The minister was indeed negligent in this matter, and after the destruction of the Yueyue Tower, the Andu Mansion sent someone to investigate the matter and gave the minister a report.

The sons were also too trusting, so they didn't check it again, and asked their father to punish them."

Andu Mansion Yin was infinitely aggrieved at this time, it was obvious that Li Shouji himself was urging to close the case, and this result was also given by Li Shouji.

It's just that he was originally from Li Shouji's faction, and he didn't dare to provoke Li Shouji at this time, so he could only come forward to ask for guilt, saying that when investigating the case, there may have been some omissions.

Li Falcon immediately said: "It's okay if you have a word of omission, Empress Zhaojie is my wife, you can be so slack, and now it has caused turmoil in the government and the opposition, which is simply condemnable.

Someone came, and he and the people of Andu Mansion were taken to the Criminal Department, and then dealt with after the truth of this matter is understood."

After the guards stepped forward to take the people away, Li Falcon said again, "Wu Xu, I order you Zhu Yiwei to re-investigate and find out the truth about Empress Zhaojie's death.

If I am really harmed by others, then I will avenge it at all costs."

Wu Xu immediately stood up when he heard the sound and took over the task.

Li Falcon's words set the tone for this matter, and the rest is waiting for Wu Xu's return.

But what can Wu Xu repay, the truth of this matter was found out and reported more than a year ago.

Now it's nothing more than looking for Li Falcon to pair up again, see what kind of answer he wants, and give it himself.

The scene that happened in the court today made Li Zhenye confused.

In the past, he always thought that his mother's death was planned by Li Falcon, but now why did he suddenly pop out of a Suzhou country, he didn't believe that Li Falcon could command the people of the Suzhou country.

He couldn't figure it out, so he rushed to find foreign aid for help, and hurriedly rushed to Cui Guogong's mansion to ask him for help in analysis.

Since Cui Guogong returned to Andu, his health has also deteriorated, and now he can't even participate in the court meeting, and has been recuperating in the house.

As for Chu Guogong, because of his previous clumsy operation, Chu Yuan was not passive.

Although they are friendly on the surface, they are not very close to each other.

And because of the previous capture, even if Chu Yuan was forgiven by Li Falcon, he stayed away from the court to a certain extent and lost his military power.

At this time, Chu Yuan must be honest, and he doesn't want to get involved in these troublesome things.

After briefly talking to Cui Guogong about the rumors outside and what happened in the court, Li Zhenye asked, "Grandpa, you said that the death of the queen mother was really a poisonous hand by the people of Su Guo?"

Cui Guogong is a smart person, and it is precisely because of this that he does not believe that Su Guo did this.

After all, Li Falcon deliberately appeased him before he started, and because of this, after the incident, he didn't even inquire about the situation of Yueyuelou.

Besides, there is no need for Su Guo at all, and it doesn't make sense at all to kill a worthless queen when he has just won a big victory.

So in the face of Li Zhenye's inquiry, Cui

Guogong replied, "If it was at the beginning of the defeat of the Su Kingdom, it is possible that they would have assassinated them to shake the morale of the army.

But at that time, the war between the two countries was almost over, and I really couldn't think of any reason why it would be necessary for the two countries to carry out the assassination."

After hearing this, Li Zhenye also understood the meaning, and drew inferences: "Then this incident is very likely to be a scene made by the father and emperor himself, the purpose of which is to justifiably start another war against the Su country."

Cui Guogong nodded in agreement with Li Zhenye's conjecture: "It should be like this, I think that soon Wu Xu will give the answer that Su Guo sent someone to assassinate him, but now the newly built city outside Ziyang Pass is not very easy to fight."

Li Zhenye didn't have any idea about how the war would go, after all, with Li Falcon's style, he wouldn't let him enter the army, and he didn't want to go in.

Thinking about the previous battle, even Li Falcon almost died in the chaos, it was too dangerous.

Cui Guogong's overall thinking is wrong, but this does not affect the correctness of the result.

Within a few days, Wu Xu walked to the court with a new truth about the destruction of the Yueyue Tower.

On this, Wu Xu deliberately showed that the Yueyue Tower did not fall because it was burned by fire, but was artificially blown up.

At the same time, many sergeants also confessed that the explosion was related to the explosion of the Su Guo raid camp, and it was confirmed that the Su people were responsible for this incident.

Li Zhenye immediately jumped out when he heard this, as the son of Empress Zhaojie, of course he had the obligation to ask for revenge for his mother.

And he boasted that he had insight into Li Falcon's purpose, so that he could curry favor in front of him.

I saw Li Zhenye full of anger and sad words: "The people of Su Guo have the audacity to assassinate the queen mother, this is a blatant provocation to my Da'an, and the son asks his father to immediately send troops to avenge his mother."

Li Zhenye took the lead, and immediately a group of people with insight also stood up and agreed.

Although there were some people in the follow-up, they euphemistically expressed their opposition, believing that it was not long before the last war between the two countries.

Now that Angola has only just recovered some of its vitality, it is really not appropriate to provoke another war.

But Li Falcon had already made up his mind in his heart, where could he listen to these persuasions: "The queen is my wife, she is a ***, if this revenge is not avenged, she will be a lonely husband, and at the same time, she is also defiling the blood of my Anguo man."

After speaking, he drew his sword and cut off a corner of the table, completely blocking those opposing voices.

After making the decision to go on the expedition, all that remains is to prepare grain and grass and clean up the soldiers and horses, this time Li Falcon still decided to drive the expedition in person, vowing to sweep away the shame.

However, before the expedition, the first to be disposed of were those who were responsible for the crime in Andu Province.

Fortunately, Li Shouji still had a little conscience, and he didn't completely ignore them, and in the end he saved his life, but he was demoted and exiled.

In addition, in Andu, a thorough investigation and purge of internal and external officials was once again carried out.

Fortunately, they realized that something was wrong from the spread of rumors before and hid it, so the loss was not very large.

Li Hao has been paying attention to the movements on Anguo's side, and he is basically proceeding in the expected direction.

On the side of Anguo Chaotang, they got the news a little later than Li Hao, but they were really confused.

Even Cui Ming specially invited Yan Xu to ask if the death of Empress Zhaojie of Anguo was their handiwork.

After all, among the Su countries, if anyone can do this, only the marquis are the officials.

Yan Xu had already investigated this matter internally, because the rumors outside were really decent, which made him a little unconfident.

So in the face of the inquiry, Yan Xu replied decisively: "This matter has already been investigated, and it is definitely not the Hou Guan's doing, otherwise if someone really makes this contribution, it will definitely be reported."

When Cui Ming heard the answer, he couldn't help but wonder, "Then you say, how could there be such rumors in Anguo."

Yan Xu replied: "The minister thinks that there are two possibilities, one is that the Anguo people directed and acted by themselves, this incident is just an accident, but the Anguo people want to find a reason to start a war with our country again.

The two Empress Anguo Zhaojie were indeed killed by someone, but they were moved by the Wuguo Liudaotang

Hand, after all, the Thunder Fire Bomb Wuguo Liudaotang also has it, but now Emperor An doesn't want to do anything with Wuguo, so it is planted on our heads."

Regarding Yan Xu's words, Cui Ming agreed.

However, no matter which one it is, Su Guo now needs to start preparing for war and send troops and horses to the north.

In terms of the selection of generals, Cui Ming still chose Chu Fan and Wang Kun's partner, and they just cooperated with each other.

At first, it was okay, Chu Fan's whole army was quite smooth, but before the early stage of departure, he suddenly had a sudden illness and was bedridden.

And those who fell ill with him were General Zhang and others who cooperated with him in reorganizing the army.

When you want to support the front line, if you suddenly lose the main general, then the trouble is really big.

Cui Ming hurriedly sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him, and also asked Yan Xu to take the Hou official to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Because Cui Ming couldn't help but suspect that someone was secretly manipulating this matter, after all, the timing was too coincidental.

Of course, someone is indeed playing tricks in this matter, you must know that Chen Xi really spent a lot of effort to pave the way in order to achieve his goal quietly.

For the departure, they all used the secret medicine that Li Hao researched from the Lotus Building world, which is colorless and tasteless, and can make people's bodies extremely weak for a period of time without hurting the origin, so Li Hao is not afraid of being checked.

Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, Li Hao has no motive to do it, after all, many of these people are the backbone of the princelings, so what reason does Li Hao have to do it to his own people.

On the contrary, it is those opponents of Li Hao, and they may be even more likely to do it.

Even Li Hao specially dug some pits for them to guide Yan Xu to check on them.

It's just that it also takes time to investigate the case, but the matter of leading the troops to set off cannot be delayed.

So at this time, Li Hao took the initiative to ask Ying and was willing to personally lead the troops to the north to support.

In view of Li Hao's outstanding performance last time, the courtiers also recognized Li Hao's ability and also believed that Li Hao was the best candidate.

After thinking about it for a while, Cui Ming didn't object, because compared to the last scene, this time the danger was significantly reduced.

Even this time, Cui Ming didn't throw the trouble on Wang Yi's side to Li Hao, and took the initiative to help persuade him.

And this is the difference between active and passive, if Li Hao took the initiative to earn it before, Cui Ming would definitely muttered in his heart, thinking that Li Hao was interested in gaining more military power.

But if he is now in a state of turning the tide and supporting the building, then he will only think that Li Hao is dedicated to the country.

Wang Yi, who was only scared once, obviously didn't let go so easily this time, and in the end, Li Hao still went to the palace in person.

In the face of Wang Yi's worries, Li Hao chose to reason with the facts this time, fully explained the dangers that he might encounter this time, and compared them with the dangers of the last time.

is to tell Wang Yi that there is basically no possibility of turning the tables this time, and as long as he guards the city in the city, he must be very safe.

After some hard talking, it was not easy for Wang Yi to relax.

After returning to the East Palace, Zhang Han also knew the news that Li Hao was going to go on an expedition.

It's just that she didn't stop Li Hao, but calmly commanded her subordinates to prepare bags for Li Hao, and handed Li Hao a talisman by the way.

After Li Hao took it, he asked, "When did Concubine Ai prepare this?"

Zhang Han replied: "It was after the prince and the prince fell ill, after all, apart from them, the only one who knew the situation in the north best was His Highness.

And His Highness's temperament is not a person who is afraid of difficulties, and he will definitely ask for orders to lead the troops, so I went to Qianyunguan to ask for this talisman for His Highness, and bless His Highness to return safely."

Li Hao laughed when he heard this: "Concubine Ai really understands Lonely."

As he spoke, he picked up Zhang Han, walked to the house, and said, "Now that I am alone, I am afraid that it will take a lot of time, so I have to hurry up and get closer before leaving."

Zhang Han was also a little embarrassed, and hurriedly struggled: "This is still in the courtyard, and if people see it, they will definitely laugh at the concubine, Your Highness will hurry."

Put down the concubine tightly, and the concubine still has to pack up for His Highness?"

Li Hao replied: "Oh, there is Lonely, Lone wants to see who dares to see the joke, as for the matter of cleaning up, isn't there still Chen Xi, just let him clean up."

As soon as Li Hao's words came out, the maids and eunuchs who were originally in the courtyard quickly turned around and left, and Chen Xi also went to preside over the cleaning up.

With the experience of Li Hao's expedition last time, the preparation of the East Palace was very smooth.

But this time is different from last time, last time Li Hao left, there was no master in the East Palace, so he was able to take all the guards in the East Palace away.

This time, Zhang Han was there, and Li Hao left a hundred people for her to listen to.

In addition, before leaving, Li Hao also explained to her that if she had time, she would go into the palace to chat with Wang Yi more, so as not to let her think wildly.

After all, there are more soldiers and horses, and the baggage to be carried is exponentially doubled, and the marching speed is naturally slow.

Wang Kun wanted to prepare for the transportation of military materials in advance, so he rushed to Hezhou first, without being with Li Hao.

Halfway through the march, Chen Xi received a letter from Hezhou and came to find Li Hao.

"Your Highness, the news from Hezhou Yixue, Empress Shentu has something to ask you, and sent Ren Zuo to come over, you can't see you here."

Li Hao smiled: "See, why don't you see it, when Ren Xin arrives, you can bring her over to see me."
