In the imperial study, there was silence at first, and then I saw Emperor Li Kun leaning back in the chair with a blank expression, gasping fiercely, calming down the shock in his heart, and his hands that fell down trembled slightly.

On the side, the white-faced old man Wei Gonggong who was standing on the side, was also stunned for a moment after hearing the news, and then returned to calm.

The secret organization he presided over was the eyes and ears of the royal family, and every major war would infiltrate in various ways, providing another information channel for the imperial court and maintaining the emperor's understanding of the world.

But this time the White Lotus Sect raised troops, not only the officialdom and army of Lingnan Province mutinied, but even many intelligence spies and meticulous works lost news without exception, making him, a secret agent, no longer understand the situation in Lingnan and became blind and deaf.

Not only that, with the advance of the White Lotus Army, the spies will be uprooted one by one wherever they pass, and now, the entire intelligence network in the south has been almost uprooted in one fell swoop, and some places may still be operating, but the principals over there do not dare to spread the news at will after discovering that the situation is not good, so as not to be exposed.

In this case, the news of the military has also become the only source of information in the palace, and Gonggong Wei suddenly heard the news, and he couldn't help but be shocked, but then he thought of the news about Qiu Yan that he had received over the years, and he didn't feel how abrupt.

You must know that in the past four years, Qiu Yan did not know how many amazing things he did, and Gonggong Wei told the emperor everything in detail at the beginning, but later, he found that the difficulties for many ministers were nothing at all in Qiu Yan's hands, and he slowly got used to being surprised, so he adjusted the specifications of the report, and many things were recorded in the dossier and not reported one by one.

It's just that several of them don't have the adaptability of Gonggong Wei, and several of them came to the throne after Qiu Yan left the capital. didn't have a very intuitive understanding of what Qiu Yan did, and after hearing it, he was really shocked.

"The traitors on the south bank of the general have been defeated? Or did Qiu Yan do it?"

Or Cai Que came back to his senses first and asked in disbelief: "Are you mistaken, treating the thief army that entered Shu as a chaotic army in the south?"

"Yes, yes," Xu Ying was stunned for a moment, and he also came back to his senses. couldn't help but ask: "It must be so, can't I wait for the news that I just got the news, knowing that the White Lotus Thief Army all the way into Shu was defeated by Master Qiu overnight? ”

But just then, a voice came from the side—

"What kind of place is this? The commander in charge of the transmission of information in the palace, and the person in charge of the military department who is responsible for verifying it all the way, will send a wrong or missing information into the palace?"

The one who spoke was Meng Qingbin, one of the rulers, the representative of the family who represented the new interests of the Northland. It has always been in a neutral state in the DPRK, but with the popularity of movable type printing and Sanjin ceramics, the contradiction with the traditional family has gradually become prominent, and it has recently begun to be rejected by Xu Yingyi, Cai Que and others.

On the other hand. Meng Qingbin is also a staunch supporter of Qiu Yan, and he often helps Qiu Yan fight for interests in and out of the court, and Qiu Yan can rest assured in Jiannan Province to sharpen his sword. Many of the imperial courts were able to adopt and implement them, and Meng Qingbin's support was also inseparable.

But. This news also surprised Meng Qingbin greatly, but in line with his trust in Qiu Yan and his familiarity with the imperial court's message transmission system, he still took the initiative to stand up and compete with Xu Ying in words, on the other hand, this is also a clue that he saw from it, and he was going to start standing in line in advance.

"There are some possibilities, didn't Shen Zhi leave a message, saying that he would lead the army to calm the disaster. ”

Suddenly, a slightly old and deep voice sounded, it was Ma Yang who spoke, among the people present, his relationship with Qiu Yan can be said to be the closest, he was once rumored to be a teacher and student, and he did have a friendship with Qiu Yan.

When he spoke, there was a little luster in his dim old eyes: "Go to the horse to quell the chaos, get off the horse to rule the country, ......" Hearing this, Xu Ying's face changed sharply.

"What's there to quarrel about, just ask clearly?" At this time, Xu Jin suddenly spoke, and then looked at the messenger.

In the face of the inquiry, the guard who came to report just said: "The last general just came to report, and the specific information will be submitted after the documents are sorted out." ”

But when Li Kun heard this, his brows moved, and he said, "You don't need to tidy it up, just send it directly!" As he spoke, he shook his head again, and then got up quite eagerly, "Forget it, there is no need to send it, let's go over and see it myself." ”

As soon as Li Kun said this, the other Zaizhi didn't stop it, this is also because the White Lotus Sect is making too much trouble, and the impact on Jiangshan Sheji is becoming more and more severe, and even the Tiangang Disha Village, which has been entrenched in Qilu for many years, has a situation to correspond to, not to mention the four sides.

From the White Lotus Sect to the present, it has been less than half a month, and most of the news has been circulating within Da Rui, but as time goes by, the news has gradually spread to the four sides, not to mention that the Buddha Swamp branch of the swamp people has been mixed with the White Lotus Sect, and has been hit hard, and there have been some changes in other aspects.

It seems that the people have faintly made moves again, and the several major divisions that are attacking each other have signs of a truce.

And the northern grasslands that have just been pacified, there is also a repetitive state, the Sanshui Department is obedient on the surface, and it is inevitable that there will be some actions in secret, after all, thousands of people, after a period of rapid expansion, the internal composition of the Sanshui Department has become more and more complex, adding many foreign tribes, and also producing many factions, each with its own needs.

But the matter must be taken step by step, and the key point must be grasped, and the key to the matter is to pacify the White Lotus Rebellion, and it is also for this reason that the ministers will compromise and agree to the emperor's personal conquest.

In fact, until now, there has been a lot of trouble in the court because of the emperor's personal conquest, even if it is just a formality, there are still many old ministers who often make trouble and come up with various reasons to prevent the emperor from going south.

In such a situation, when he heard that Qiu Yan had broken through the Jiangnan White Lotus Army, how could Li Kun sit still?

However, before he could leave, someone outside the hall asked to see him, and he had finished sorting out the information and sent it over, and the official in charge of commanding the military intelligence also knew that the matter was important, so he mobilized all the manpower in the division, and even transferred manpower from the entire yamen to sort things out as much as possible in the shortest possible time.

"Because of the urgency of time, many places are not yet systematic, and there is a slight clutter, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins. "The official who brought the intelligence file is about forty years old, and his demeanor is calm.

"Zhang Qing sorted it out so quickly, but he was in a hurry, how could he be guilty?" Li Kun waved his hand, and then ordered Gonggong Wei to pick up the stack of files and send them to the table to look at carefully.

And Xu Yingyi, Cai Que and the other rulers were eager to see through, and they were also eager to know, but the emperor was in front, how could they fight, they could only wait below.

However, looking at this appearance, who can't see that Qiu Yan's attack on the Jiangnan White Lotus Army should not be wrong.

It's just that......

"I don't know what Qiu Yan commands, it is the soldiers and horses that have such combat power!" Cai Que sighed, "To be able to train such a strong soldier, even if he does not have any merits on the battlefield, he is also a great soldier, and he should be rewarded for his meritorious deeds." ”

He still has to share Qiu Yan's work.

It's just that this is not that Cai Que and Qiu Yan are embarrassed, but for the next officialdom trend, in the case that Qiu Yan's return is a foregone conclusion, not to occupy more advantages now, and when Qiu Yan returns to the court, the entire court will definitely change the situation, and it will be very passive at that time, because from Qiu Yan's series of actions in Jiannan Road, Cai Que and Xu Yingyi have already seen that the other party is not in the same camp as themselves, and there will be conflicts of interest.

The conflict of interests represents the will of the faction and the entire interest group, even if Cai Que and Xu Yingyi have been exposed to more and more information after becoming the rulers, and they have become more and more aware of Qiu Yan's extraordinary, they still can't change their behavior.

This is like, in Qiu Yan's previous life, many countries knew that they couldn't do it, but they still wanted to do it, not because they were stupid, or they didn't have anything to do, or they looked at Qiu Yan unpleasantly, and they made trouble for Qiu Yan according to their personal feelings.

A mere contrast between strength and weakness cannot change their will, unless one side is strong enough to completely ignore a qiē.

As soon as Cai Que's words fell, the emperor suddenly laughed, at first his voice was very small, and then it became louder and louder, and several rulers looked at each other.

When they became more and more confused, Li Kunzhong stopped laughing and said loudly: "Cai Qing, this time you are wrong, it is not the soldiers and horses under the command of any Jiedu envoy, but an elite army trained by Qiu Yan himself, using a brand-new military system and training method, I originally planned to test the results, and then report it to me to know, and then implement it as appropriate, but now it seems to be ......."

Now it seems that what's going on?

Several Zaizhi had some guesses in their hearts, but Cai Que's face was not good-looking, and he had always admired that army, in order to spit out the role of the army and weaken the influence of the commander.

But now, the founder and commander of the army are the same person, and this credit is indisputable.

In fact, he had vaguely guessed that the army was probably trained by Qiu Yan, after all, the classics of the military family were still in the royal library, but whenever there was any possibility, he had to weaken the potential opponent as much as possible.

"Cai Qing, you don't have to mind, misestimate Qiu Qing's ability, this is actually normal, even I will inevitably underestimate him, let's take a look, what we should have a headache next is how to appease the mobilized Northern Army. ”

As he spoke, the emperor smiled bitterly as he spoke, and handed over the file in his hand, followed by his own Wei Gonggong, and then brought it to several ministers for them to watch.

It's just that this look made several people more and more shocked.

Originally, I heard that the "Northern Expedition" army of the White Lotus Sect was broken by Qiu Yan, which was enough to surprise them, but they didn't expect Qiu Yan to do far more than that! (To be continued......
