Chapter 199: Wood's Return
"Wechen see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Not to mention that Li Shouting can be the secretary of the Ministry of War, he is also Yang Wenyuan's right and left hand.
Compared with Yang Chu, not only did they not put on a shelf, but they also put their posture very low.
As soon as Liu Qi finished saying "free courtesy", the people began to make an order.
is the so-called soft knife injury is the most painful, even if Liu Qi doesn't kneel, people don't seem to see it, so they don't do more with the prince in this kind of thing.
"Prince Liu Qi, delaying the military period and disturbing local peace."
"Now, I will give you a three-day period to hand over the military power to Li Shouting, and after three days, I will immediately return to Kyoto with the army and report to me."
"In addition, the forcible expropriation of the Korean foundry will hinder the relations between the two countries, and I will order you to return it to South Korea as soon as possible, and not for private use!"
"General Wood, who has made great contributions and has been stationed in the north for many years for my Daqing, how can he be dismissed from his official position at will? Now, according to my will, Wood's official position shall be restored immediately, and the power of the three battalions shall be returned to management. ”
"Chin this!"
Liu Qi was shocked.
The previous holy decree in Jincheng was just to summon him back to the city, but this time, he directly took back the military power!!
After speaking, Li Shouting closed the holy decree in his hand and handed it to Liu Qi. No matter what his expression is, he is still standing.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, take the order."
All of a sudden, his plans were all disrupted.
It is not unexpected. Yang Wenyuan's people must be secretly staring here, and the court will know about these things sooner or later, but they just feel that they came too early.
Even if it is to wait until the rebellion of the Land of India begins.
If it were someone else, Liu Qi would have found a reason casually and prevaricated casually.
But in front of him is Li Shouting, an old fox who has lived in the court for many years.
The trick to deal with Yang Chu is not easy to use on him at all, and since they met, they have never given him such a chance.
Moreover, when Liu Qi received the holy decree, Li Shouting still smiled, as if comforting.
"Alas, Your Highness! Don't blame the minister, I'm just doing what I'm told. ”
"These things you did, I don't know how, it reached the ears of the emperor, the emperor was furious, and we have no way to persuade him, don't worry, if you have anything to say, go back and explain to the emperor in person, and I will definitely help you speak."
is a good one to retreat, Li Shouting directly picked himself up.
Now, Liu Qi has no reason to target him at all. But if you refuse, or if you have any emotions, it is a clear protest.
"This king takes the order."
"However, Lord Li, you came here suddenly, and this king is not prepared, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult in the three-day period?"
Li Shouting's eyes narrowed, not knowing what trick Liu Qi was playing.
"Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Liu Qi told him directly.
"That's right, in order to understand the situation around the northern border, this king sent General Bai Qi to inspect the border as early as two days ago, and I don't know where it is at this time, I will send someone to look for it, after all, he took some soldiers with him."
As soon as Li Shouting heard it, he knew that this was Liu Qi's delaying strategy. He smiled.
"Your Highness, aren't you making it difficult for Wei Chen? You said to look for it, if it is ten days and half a month, how will I explain it to the emperor. ”
"How about the 10th?"
In Liu Qi's judgment, within ten days, it is enough to solve the current troubles.
But Li Shouting shook his head.
"Your Royal Highness, you also heard it just now, Your Majesty said that for three days, if I wait until ten days, and the court does not receive the news of the return date, Weichen will also be punished."
Liu Qi took a deep breath, he was following the emperor and constantly putting pressure on himself.
"That's it, Lord Li, this king won't embarrass you, five days! Five days is good, as the holy decree says, we must give this king some time to deal with it. ”
Li Shouting thought about it and felt that three days were not much different from five days.
Moreover, he can also take advantage of this time to collect more evidence about Liu Qi's crimes here, and he will not delay and return to the court quickly.
I thought to myself. He nodded in embarrassment.
"Okay, Your Highness, then Weichen will also risk being punished by the emperor, help you this time, the five-day period, you can't trust it anymore."
Liu Qi smiled and clenched his hands into fists.
"Don't worry, Lord Li, you are so interesting, how can this king embarrass you."
"Wu Tianxu!"
"Shimonoseki is here!"
"Hurry up and find a good restaurant, for the arrival of Lord Li, take the wind and wash the dust, this king still has important things, so I won't accompany him."
After speaking, he smiled slightly, turned around with Qin and Zhao and left the Taishou Mansion.
Looking at Liu Qi's back, the corners of Li Shouting's mouth raised slightly. Thinking in my heart.
"Boy, the old man is here, you just wait to go back with me!"
......
Return to the official post.
Liu Qi gulped down a cup of tea.
Zhao Wenhui on the side was full of sadness.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Qin Wei said with relief.
"It's okay, hasn't Your Highness delayed the time? We have ten days left. ”
Liu Qi sighed softly.
"Time has dragged on, but the problem has not been solved."
"At the moment, there is no news from Lu Liang's side, and I don't know when the civil war in the country of India will break out. Can we intervene? ”
"In addition, now that the king's military power has also been withdrawn, let alone soldiers, even generals can't be dispatched at will, so how to transfer General Han and Bai Qi?"
Thinking of this, Liu Qi suddenly raised his head.
"Lieutenant Qin, hurry up, go to the barracks immediately now, and tell General Han Zhong that no matter what, you can't put the command of the troops in the hands of Li Shouting."
"And, no matter what Li Shouting sends someone to say, never move the army, understand?"
Qin Wei arched his hands.
"The last will obey, and I will pass."
As soon as Qin Wei left, Liu Qi propped up his hands, rubbed his head, and took a deep breath. I thought to myself.
"In the current situation, the only thing this king can do is to trust."
Just when Liu Qi stayed in the room, thinking about the next countermeasures.
Only less than two hours passed, and Han Dalin came to the official post.
"Your Highness, General Han Zhong asked me to tell you. Wood was back in his place. ”
Liu Qihe laughed.
When I complained that I didn't see him in the mansion, I should have received the news of Li Shouting's reinstatement a long time ago.
"Okay, this king knows."
However, as soon as Liu Qi's words fell, a guard hurriedly ran up.
"Your Highness, there is a letter from Qingdu."
Liu Qi opened it and took a look. The brow tightened immediately.
Grandma's, another bad news!!
