In the court.

Zhu Yunwen can no longer maintain his demeanor, and the 500,000 army will lose, which he can't accept no matter what.

Qi Fanghuang and the others were also furious, they could understand that Li Jinglong was a spy.

With an army of 500,000 troops, there can be no such thing as being unable to fight.

So, the three of them jointly admonished: "Your Majesty, you should immediately arrest Li Jinglong and hold him accountable." ”

This time, the generals were silent, if Geng Bingwen's record was cold, then Li Jinglong's record was ...... I can't see it.

It's so chilling!

Zhu Yunwen was annoyed and hated, this time, he was also ruthless, and immediately asked people to go and recall Li Jinglong.

When the news reached Texas, Li Jinglong once again refreshed Li Qing's cognition.

He resisted.

The reason for resisting the decree is also very simple, the general will not accept the orders of the foreign monarch, and Zhu Di is likely to lead the army south, directly approach the Beijing division, and change generals in battle, with unimaginable consequences.

In the end, he replied to Xiao Xiaozhu with a murderous sentence: "Your Majesty, replace the ministers, who do you let be the boss?" ”

When Zhu Yunwen received the reply, his lungs were about to explode, but this was the case, and he really couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.

In addition, Li Jinglong said that Zhu Di is likely to approach Jingshi, and he will not dare to change people rashly.

When things came to this point, Qi Fanghuang, who was originally calm, also panicked, thinking that the matter of being caught in his hands had actually caused such a situation, which was really beyond their expectations.

Wenchen became a pot of porridge, the generals were not good at words, and the silence was golden, and Zhu Yunwen was even more irritable.

After dispersing, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he returned to the imperial study and smashed it, venting the anger in his heart.

"What to do? What can I do? Zhu Yunwen muttered to himself, almost collapsing.

At this time, Qi Tai hurriedly arrived and offered a plan: "Your Majesty, since the commander can't be changed, then change the prison army." ”

"Change of Prison Army?" Zhu Yunwen frowned, and immediately agreed, "I have to transfer Li Qing back." ”

He really felt that there was no one available now, and what made him even more depressed was that the strategy of the three gentlemen of Qi Fang and Huang was obviously very reasonable, but he had repeatedly done bad things.

It is far from being as reassuring as Li Qing.

When the news reached Dezhou, Li Qing also made a difficulty, but he was not a general, and he could not resign like Li Jinglong, and the imperial court also appointed a new supervisor, so it was really unreasonable not to go.

"Brother, what are you going to do next?" Li Qing asked.

Li Jinglong thought for a while, "We still have 420,000 troops now, which is too much, I can take 120,000 and keep 300,000." ”

“…… Still get it! At this time, Li Qing was a little worried about Li Jinglong, "Brother, are you really not afraid that the emperor will cut off your head?" ”

Li Jinglong said in a high-sounding voice: "King Yan may attack Jingshi at any time, I ordered the army to go to the passes along the way to defend it, it is reasonable, and I am also thinking about the emperor!" ”

After a pause, "Don't worry, I know it in my heart, but this time the overseer is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so it won't be easy to get it in the future." ”

Li Qingzheng said: "After I go back, I will try my best to help you." ”

"Okay." Li Jinglong nodded lightly, and said, "Brother Li, Lan Yu won't scold me as a traitor in the future, right?" ”

"You're not a traitor." Li Qing smiled and said seriously, "The world doesn't know you, but I know you." ”

Li Jinglong didn't understand the second half of the sentence, and Li Qing didn't explain, so he hurriedly rode on his horse and rushed to Jingshi.

……

Back in Jinling, it was just about to be the New Year.

The first thing I did when I returned to Beijing was naturally to enter the palace to restore my life.

Li Qing came to the palace and reported the manuscript that had already been typed to Zhu Yunwen.

Geng Bingwen lost, Li Jinglong lost, they all said it clearly, of course, they didn't pour dirty water on the fourth child.

Although it was smoothed out, Xiao Xiaozhu was not happy at all.

Two big defeats in a row, especially Li Jinglong's this time, made Zhu Yunwen really unacceptable.

"Sir, you said that if I don't cut the domain, will King Yan rebel?"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment and said with a wry smile, "The emperor already has the answer in his heart, so why bother to ask again." ”

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a long time before he sighed, "I really regret it now, I should have listened to you at the beginning, but now ...... Is it too late? ”

"......," Li Qing said stiffly, "Your Majesty, you know that ministers don't know how to fight." ”

In fact, Li Qing felt very guilty in his heart, Xiao Xiao Zhu was worthy of him, but he was sorry for Xiao Xiao Zhu.

However, he will use another method to repay Xiao Xiaozhu, such as: saving his life.

Zhu Yunwen was like a child who was at a loss, "Sir, don't be a prisoner in the future, stay in the capital and accompany me, my heart is so panicked......"

Li Qing nodded and agreed, at this point, the matter has completely connected to the historical trajectory, and it doesn't matter whether he follows the army or not.

The monarch and the minister chatted for a long time, and it was not until near the evening that Zhu Yunwen's mood stabilized, and he got up and went home.

……

Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

As soon as Li Qing arrived home, the three girls greeted him, and their faces were full of joy.

But unlike before, they were very restrained, and even Wanling didn't take the initiative to give them a hug.

After this year, Red Sleeves will be forty, Lianxiang will be thirty-nine, and the youngest Wanling will also be thirty-three.

They are no longer young, although they are well-dressed and well-maintained, but after all, their youth is not there, Wanling is better, and the corners of the red-sleeved eyes have subtle wrinkles.

Li Qing stretched out his arms and said with a smile, "Come into Mr.'s arms." ”

The third girl sniffed and stepped forward with red eyes.

Li Qing hugged them into his arms, smelled the faint fragrance, and said softly, "In the eyes of Mr., you will always be the same as when you first met;

Sir doesn't dislike you, and never has ever disliked you. ”

Red Sleeves said with a crying voice, "But sir, the concubine is really old." ”

"Not old at all." Li Qing said softly, "There is Xi Shi in the eyes of the lover, Mr. looks at you, you are still the same as before." ”

He wasn't all comforting, it was undeniable that they weren't young, but apart from a few subtle wrinkles, they hadn't changed much.

Whether it is psychological or physical, it still makes him yearn.

After coaxing for a while, I finally coaxed the three little girls.

At night, Li Qing bathed in the hot bath water, removed the camouflage on his face, and returned to his original appearance, his face was like a crown of jade, and his eyes were like a star.

The rising heat made his handsome face even more ruddy, and he was still a young man with a weak crown at that age.

The three girls looked at it obsessively, and suddenly felt ashamed of themselves.

The gentleman is still the same gentleman, and they are no longer the same.

Red Sleeves washed his long black and thick hair for him, and said softly, "Sir, will you take a few more concubines?" ”

"No more concubines." Li Qing shook his head slightly, "In the future, I won't accept it again in the future, you are the beginning and the end." ”

"How can that be?" Wan Ling hurriedly said, "In the long years, how lonely a person is!" ”

Lianxiang nodded, "Mr. will not only have to take a concubine in the future, but also have to marry a wife." ”

Li Qing smiled and said, "Wife and concubine are just a saying, aren't we just husband and wife?" ”

As he spoke, he got up and pulled his red sleeves into the tub.

"Come, let the gentleman satisfy his hunger first."

……

……

Yingying peony, jade fat dark fragrance, like Luo Cui Ye deliberately hidden;

On the bright moon, sweat rains down, open the door to explore the red wall on the moon......

……

It's almost the New Year, but it's not yet the annual vacation, the hundred officials are still going to the court, and Li Qing is also on time at noon, so he can't get up early.

In the afternoon, I helped Xiao Xiaozhu deal with some government affairs, but the focus has been on Beiping.

Zhu Di's movements were fast, not only quickly taking over the entire river... North, but also led the army out of the Bauhinia Pass, marching into the mountains. West, the appetite is not insignificant.

The reason why he dared to do this was mainly based on the help of Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Gaochi, he just had to fight, and his wife and son would not only guard, but also take care of and operate.

And Dao Yan is responsible for helping Zhu Di lay out, although Zhu Gaoxu has a straight brain, he can bring regular soldiers for his father.

Zhu Gaosui is not only arrogant, although his ability is not as good as the two brothers, but the intelligence transmission he is responsible for has never gone wrong.

Zhu Di took his descendants of cavalry, as well as obtained Duoyan Sanwei from King Ning, and began to expand his territory frantically.

Others are busy with the New Year, but the fourth family is busier than the New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Li Qing celebrated the New Year happily in Jinling, and Zhu Di was in the mountains. West, happy to do business.

As the commander of hundreds of thousands of troops, Li Jinglong deeply understands the truth of moving the whole body with one shot, so he has always stood still.
