Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 684: Loyalty (2)

The fact that all the ministers fainted one after another soon spread to Lu Mingyu's ears.
Lu Mingyu couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.
The Marquis of Puyang made a "good start". If a courtier didn't cry once or twice, he would not be loyal enough.
Forty days have passed since the wake, and the last few days are left. The courtiers had to show their loyalty, and they had to follow them. Anyway, it won't last a few days.
One night, Li Jing came back with another bad news.
"The death of the father and emperor has spread to all parts of the Great Wei Dynasty." Li Jing frowned and whispered: "The remnants of Yan and Chu are restless when they know the death of the father and the emperor."
Emperor Yongjia led troops to conquer Yanchu and conquered Yanchu in more than a year. Most of the Yanchu royal family died, and those who surrendered were also imprisoned.
However, a hundred-footed worm is dead but not stiff. There are always some who fled to the deep mountains and forests or overseas places. Now that they heard that Emperor Yongjia passed away, these people suddenly felt that the opportunity had come, and they began to make waves again.
Lu Mingyu also frowned and asked in a low voice, "Is it from Yan or from Chu?"
"All of them." Li Jing's face was solemn: "The remaining soldiers of the Yan Kingdom are about 10,000, and the soldiers of the Chu people are slightly less, and there are also 10,000."
These troops are not a big threat to Wei, who has a large number of soldiers. However, after Emperor Yongjia won the battle, only 10,000 soldiers were left to guard the land of Yanchu. Yan and Chu people are now in chaos, and once they converge in one place, it is a great threat.
Moreover, once a war begins, the Great Wei, who has been pacified for four years, will start a war again. The people were just out of breath, and couldn't bear the tossing at all.

In a deeper way, Li Jing, as the crown prince, is about to take the throne. At this critical time, Yan Chu's remaining evildoers are in chaos, which is not a good sign.
Yanchu must be pacified as quickly as possible.
Lu Mingyu's thoughts changed, and she took a deep look at Li Jing: "Do you want my father to lead troops to Yanchu?"
It is a question, but the tone is very positive.
Li Jing sighed helplessly: "The Marquis of Guangping is dead, and the Meng family's nine clans will be beheaded. Only the Xingyang army and the Zhao family's army can be used. The Marquis of Puyang's team is first-rate, and his ability to fight is solid. Ping Ping. Liang Erlang is still too young, and the Imperial Forest Army can't be dispatched easily. He can only trouble his father-in-law."
The Xingyang army is famous and famous, even in the land of Yan and Chu.
Lu Lin led the troops forward, which was a powerful deterrent to the remnants of Yanchu. When you fight, you will get twice the result with half the effort. The rebellion will soon be put down.
It's just that my father-in-law is always working hard. He is a son-in-law, and he feels a little guilty.
Lu Mingyu was silent for a moment, then said softly, "As soon as my father leaves, the capital in the capital is not strong enough, who can deter the Marquis of Puyang?"
Li Jing obviously thought about it for a long time: "Let the second brother lead the troops back to Beijing."
Lu Fei is still in the Jiangnan military camp with 50,000 Xingyang troops. As long as Lu Fei came back, the Marquis of Puyang would continue to hide his head and pretend to be a quail as a loyal minister.
Lu Mingyu nodded slightly: "This is also the way. You can make up your mind about the important affairs of the court. Don't worry about me."
Intellectually, this is the safest course of action right now.
From an emotional point of view, she certainly did not want her father to lead troops to Yanchu.
Li Jing held Lu Mingyu's hand apologetically and whispered: "Actually, before I came back, my father-in-law had already volunteered to fight with me. The Marquis of Puyang also made a generous statement, saying that he would die for Wei."
"I didn't say anything at the time, I just said I would consider it overnight."
Between King Xingyang and Marquis Puyang, Li Jing trusted his father-in-law the most.
Lu Mingyu felt a little heavy in her heart.
This Great Wei Dynasty was conquered by Emperor Yongjia. The sudden death of Emperor Yongjia had a profound impact on the Wei Dynasty. Yan Chu's remnant dared to come out and jump, and there might be others who were just about to make a move.
Li Jing, the crown prince, is too young. Wanting to control the country, wanting to bring the ministers and the people to their hearts, is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight.
……
Li Jing's mood is heavier than Lu Mingyu.
In the past, Emperor Yongjia was responsible for everything. As the prince, he followed behind the emperor and could do what he ordered.
Now that Emperor Yongjia is gone, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and thousands of people are like a heavy burden on him. Any decision he made was related to the transportation of the Wei Kingdom and the people of Liming, so he couldn't help thinking about it again and again.
Li Jing closed his eyes and slept for an hour. After the fourth watch, he got up and went to the mourning hall.
The kneeling courtiers mostly closed their eyes.
This mourning hall is filled with ice basins, and the ice coffins have to be replaced every day.
The corpse of Emperor Yongjia had been placed for so many days, no matter how much ice was placed, the corpse gradually rotted, and the stench of the corpse overflowed from the coffin. Mixed with the smell of sweat on the ministers, the smell is too "ecstasy".
As soon as Li Jing entered the mourning hall, a white shadow came over.
Kneeling courtiers all wear white filial robes. When they stand up, aren't they just white shadows? Suddenly, it's really infiltrative.
"Your Highness," Bai Ying opened his mouth, with a very familiar voice. It was the Marquis of Puyang: "I want to have a few words with Your Highness in private."
During this period, the Marquis of Puyang was the most energetic when kneeling and crying, and passed out three times. Anyone should praise Wei Zhongchen!
Li Jing stared at Puyang Hou~IndoMTL.com~ nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "You come with me."
The Marquis of Puyang nodded and followed the Prince's Royal Highness to the side hall to speak.
The Marquis of Puyang is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Zhao, and Li Jing has been in and out of the Zhao family since childhood.
It is now that the Marquis of Puyang has performed well and is beyond reproach. Li Jing's attitude towards Puyang Hou was also very mild: "What do you want to say?"
The Marquis of Puyang said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I want to lead troops to Yanchu to pacify the chaos."
Li Jing didn't move, looked at the Marquis of Puyang and said: "Your loyalty to the imperial court is obvious to all, and I know it too. However, I would like the King of Xingyang to go to Yanchu to pacify the chaos."
"It's not that I can't trust you. But right now, quelling the rebellion and stabilizing the situation is the most important thing. Before the emperor's burial, the Great Wei is about to start a war, and I won't be so secure when I ascend to the throne in the future."
"Furthermore, in terms of combat power, the Xingyang army is far superior to the Zhao family's army. In terms of your ability to lead troops to fight, you are also slightly inferior to the King of Xingyang. Therefore, it is more secure for the King of Xingyang to lead the troops."
Marquis of Puyang: "..."
The Marquis of Puyang did not expect Li Jingjiang to speak so directly. With the thickness of his face and the city government, he couldn't bear it, and his face suddenly turned red.
Li Jing slowed down his tone in time: "I am anxious and anxious, so I speak more directly, you won't mind!"
I've said it all, what can I do?
The Marquis of Puyang swallowed a mouthful of old blood, and squeezed out a face of guilt and remorse: "I only wanted to share my worries for Your Highness, but I didn't think about it so much. Since His Highness has already proposed, I will not say more."
Li Jingwen said: "I see your loyalty in my eyes. There will be time to reuse you in the future."
