Power and Empire Chapter 3084: Nan Fenglie (12)

In late May, the rainstorm is alluring down the city

The empire brazenly marched southward and went straight to the Yangshui area. Within a day, it continuously broke through the three cities outside Deyang. The battle report from Deyang made the Zhongbia court, which originally thought that the imperial government would not aggressively attack. The chin dropped to the ground, and I saw the description in the military newspaper that “the number of emperors is several times that of our army, and there are intensive projection assistance from imperial heavy ballistas and catapults. Our army is fighting desperately, but In the end, several times the enemy swooped down, outnumbered, and the spear broke and broke. The generals pierced through the three layers of heavy armor and inflicted heavy damage on the emperor. The corpses of the emperor were stacked as high as the city wall... ..."

"Your Majesty, the military generals obviously want to shirk responsibility"

A minister's head was erected, and he stood up from the court minister and said sharply, "These military ministers are accustomed to life and fear of death. Every time they fight, they use these rhetoric as a prevarication. A, it’s just an excuse to complain to the court, what the emperor’s body is stacked up to the height of the city wall, this is simply nonsense"

"This time the empire went south, with a total force of only 60,000 to 70,000 people. If so many people died in the periphery of Deyang, as the military report said, then what is it that now surrounds Deyang like an iron barrel! The court pretended to be deaf and dumb about this. Next time, not only will Yang He be lost, but the emperor's catastrophe will happen again!"

"Although there is something wrong with the military, it is not so alarming!" The emperor of Zhongbia snorted from his seat, his eyes cold, and the minister who looked at him paled, knowing that he was for a while. Speaking quickly, I have violated the emperor’s taboo, the emperor’s catastrophe, that is the biggest scar in the emperor’s heart

To be honest, the emperor of Zhongbia never expected that the battle would be so one-sided. Although the emperor was strong, Deyang was in Zhongbia after all, and the general Tang Shui was also the commander of the Imperial Guard, and his generals were also It is a general who has experienced previous wars. Who would have thought that one hundred thousand troops had just come into contact with the empire, and it was such a shocking result.

Thinking of the young crops on both sides of the Yang River, they will be mature machinery in more than a month. Now most of them have fallen into the hands of the emperor. The emperor of Zhongbia is not in that bad mood, but he didn’t show it on his face. They are all private fields of court ministers. Since I can’t get them, it doesn’t matter if I throw them all to the emperor this time. It’s better than fattening these court ministers. It’s just that the one hundred thousand army was lost for nothing. It's a pity too

Looking at the aggrieved faces of the court ministers, the emperor of China and Biya knew that this time the court meeting would be nothing at all. Suddenly his interest became even more difficult to mention. His eyes were on the faces of court ministers. He paused and waved his hands. "Since you have doubts about this battle, please send someone to check it out. I wonder who of you wants to go?"

"This..."

When the emperor was about to send someone to Deyang to investigate, there was no voice immediately

The court ministers looked at each other and no one came forward. Isn’t this a joke? The Deyang battle, the periphery has been torn apart by the imperial army, who knows what is going on now, although it may not be as stated in the military newspaper The corpse mountain is bloody, but I am afraid that the difference is not far away. After all, according to the military newspaper, there are more than 30,000 Chinese and Bianyan troops outside Deyang, even if it is only half damaged by the battle, it is enough to dye the periphery of Deyang red. Time to go to Deyang, not to die!

"It seems that I can only wait for the war and investigate again!" The emperor's eyes flashed with mockery, as if he knew this would be the case. The army is still in Deyang, unless these ministers dare to risk going to Deyang. Question, otherwise it is the case, the question is, who dares to go? Even if you know that the military is talking nonsense, it means that you have been swearing a few hundreds of miles away,

It is absolutely impossible to go to the battlefield. There are still a few people who are still alive in the court, and some are so-called hard bones. Some have already died in the two emperor catastrophes.

When the ministers leave, Prime Minister Yu Fenglong stays alone in the hall

"Feng Leong, this time the empire goes south, will it really not hit Xinjing?" The Emperor Zhongbia stood on it, his golden robe did not show the emperor's power, but looked a little lonely. The great court meeting in China is more like a joke. The emperor of China and Biyah did not expect Deyang to hold on, nor did he expect the court ministers to stand up at a critical moment.

"Your Majesty, don’t worry, since the empire is going south for the Li family, as long as the Li family is released, the empire will have no reason to continue going south. Hand, we are in the invincible. What we need now is to find the best opportunity to take this opportunity to take back more of the power from the court ministers."

After Yu Fenglong finished speaking, he looked around, took out a few signed documents from his sleeves, and presented them to the emperor with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is the name of the person who has just taken in"

"It's done?" The emperor of China and Biyah fell on the list, and he obviously showed a bit of hot expression, it seems that the whole person is more energetic,

"With the power of the holy king, what else can't be done in the world!" Yu Fenglong looked respectful and said flatly. "Through this thorough investigation of Cai Long’s subordinate Department of Internal Affairs, this time only There are three third-rank officials and six fourth-rank officials. The entire warehouse management bureau is already your majesty’s private treasury. As long as this continues, your majesty will regain control of the court is just around the corner."

"Okay, good job"

The emperor of Zhongbia grinned at the corner of his mouth and waved his hand. An attendant in a purple robe took over the documents. I am afraid that the court ministers did not know the biggest purpose of tripping Cai Long this time. This is not the internal power in the hands of Cai Long, but the official website that Cai Long has operated for many years. Because Cai Long was investigated, a large number of officials involved became the emperor’s bargaining chip this time.

Shunchang rebelled against death

Under thorough investigation, it can be said that everyone is at risk. As long as they are not fools, they will know how to choose. These officials are involved in one of them. In this way, almost half of the middle-level officials of the Zhongbian court are involved. Come in, the mysterious organization "Holy King's Association", and now it has risen in Xinjing, and many of them have become members of the Holy King's Association.

One of the most radical is Tang Hu, the second official of the Ministry of Rites, who is also the vice president of the Holy Monarch Association. This young and Zhuang sect of Tang family background, after the emperor returned from the south, he regarded himself as a disciple of the Holy Monarch and appeared in many public occasions. The second-general emperor’s catastrophe was said to be the emperor’s decisive arrangement. The massacre of hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Biyarians was said to have illusions for the prairie people because they refused to follow the emperor. As a result, they were tragically retaliated by the prairie people. The object of those who take the blame for themselves

"The so-called imperial capital catastrophe is just a slander against the holy monarch by those who do not know the truth. In the two imperial capital battles, the holy monarch personally sits in town and is not afraid of danger. People who have not experienced it personally are not qualified to talk nonsense here. Words, if it were not for the decisive decision of the emperor, Zhongbia would have been over long ago. It was the emperor who let Zhongbia escape the disaster of two extinctions!"

"If they still have a one-thousandth love for the holy monarch, they will not receive such a result! The holy monarch Tianwei, how can it be what you mortals can speculate. "In Tang Hu's mouth, the emperor is just like The ancient sages were ordinary. With the expansion of the influence of the Holy Kings Association, the name of the Minister of Rites became more and more famous in Xinjing, as if he had the momentum to succeed the current Minister of Rites, and there were also court ministers who were dissatisfied with Tang Hu. , But thinking of Tang Hu’s status as the second official of the Ministry of Rites and the status of the imperial prime minister Yu Fenglong as the former Minister of the Ministry of Rites, it is not difficult to understand why Tang Hu blatantly preached the Holy King’s Association everywhere,

Behind the holy king's meeting, I am afraid it is the emperor!

The ministers of the full court are not fools, and they don’t dare to interfere too much with the growth of the Holy Kings’ Association. They just think that the grand emperor needs to use this method to wash himself, which is also a wonderful work, and at this moment, In Tang Hu’s mansion, a mysterious guest is in the living room, with his hands on his back, a scribe in a green robe, white in the bun, his gaze falls on a landscape scroll hung on the wall, just standing There, there is a vicissitudes of life,

"I said Lord Li Long, you and I are also old friends for many years. At the beginning, you were defeated in Linhang. What a thousand husbands pointed out was that I, Tang Hu, helped you to say two fair words. As a result, I was tired of you and became a hot one. The bureau of officials was transferred to the Ministry of Rites of Leng Yamen. For the sake of being a friend anyway, you can give me a happy message. This time the empire goes south, how can we stop the war!"

Tang Hu looked sadly at Li Long, who was admiring the hanging paintings. The emperor behind the Holy King’s Club was not the emperor, but it was basically the same. It was the prime minister, Yu Fenglong. This time Li Long came south again, and the Chinese side He did not dare to keep Li Long out of the imperial capital, but if he met Li Long directly, Yu Fenglong would be reluctant to meet Li Long face to face. After all, the entire Zhongbia knew that Yu Fenglong, a returnee from the south, China Prime Minister Biya was completely snatched from Li Long, so Tang Hu finally came forward

"The conditions are already on the submitted documents." Li Long turned around indifferently, picked up the tea in front of Tang Hu and blew gently, watching the floating on the water surface spinning. Tea, said, "Release the Li family, hand over the management and taxation rights of the Six Port City to the Empire, and compensate the Empire for its military expenditure of one million this time, and the Empire will withdraw its troops."

"You know, it's impossible!"

Tang Hu was stung, he stood up abruptly from his seat, his face was pale and said, "You Li Long was once the cabinet of the military cabinet of China. I know it better. The arrest of the Li family by the court was accidental and should be released. However, the lifeblood of Six Port City is absolutely impossible to be handed over to the empire. As for compensation for military expenses, it is even more nonsense. The empire’s southward move is an aggression. There is a reason for the invaded party to compensate for military expenses!"

Li Long glanced at the gray sky outside the window, and looked at Tang Hu, who was shaking with no blue breath. After taking a sip of tea, he placed the cup on the table and said coldly, "Tang Hu, I know You can be regarded as a man. When you were in Linhang, Yelv Guda violently assaulted Linhang. There were less than 20,000 defenders in the city. The people in the city were panicked. It was Tang Hu who took his own 30 servants to the city wall first. Driven the city’s noble servants to line up the servants on the city wall to help defend the city, and finally Linhang was broken. You were stunned to death by the steppe people’s horseshoes. It was your servant who stole from the dead outside the city. Yes, there are more than a thousand people from the Tang clan who are almost dead in Linhang. You Tang Hu can be regarded as a life that was recovered, but look at what you are talking about now, what holy monarchs and what they didn’t evacuate are all to blame. Think about Li Tang Don’t you feel ashamed!

"Blushing? Blushing? Blushing? My Tang clan has been in charge of the Central and Bahia finances for more than a hundred years. I have already enjoyed enough prosperity and wealth. Your Li family is nothing more than being pure and expensive. Where else can I be like the Tang clan? By comparison, these truths are not your turn to teach me Li Long! "Tang Hu's eyes are red, his face is grim, and he gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to pounce on Li Long and take a bite.

"Our argument is meaningless, I'm just here to spread the word. If the dynasty will end and there is no news yet~IndoMTL.com~ then I will go back"

Li Long sighed, and shook his hand at what he wanted to say to Tang Hu.

"Don't wait, the empire's negotiation will not go to the Great Court!" Tang Hu took a deep breath with a solemn expression. "It seems that from the beginning, you have never thought about negotiation!"

Li Long smiled bitterly. For Tang Hu, he still felt respect from his heart. The Tang clan was almost annihilated in Linhang. The massacre that day can be described as vivid, and Tang Hu’s wife and daughter, concubines, all died. Under the sword of the prairie man, he was slashed three times and fainted on the spot. He was discarded as a dead body in a mass grave outside the city and picked up by the same servant who pretended to be dead. In Xinjing, even Li Long didn’t expect that the shameless person who preached the Holy King’s Society would be Tang Hu, and the hysterical feeling in Tang Hu’s tone made Li Long feel a sense of embarrassment.

Tang Hu took a deep look at Li Long and sighed, "I'm not afraid to tell you directly. After all, the battlefield is still far away in Deyang. It is too far away from here. Leave Xinjing. As a member of the Tang nationality, I can't leave. Even if you know that the ship under your feet has even rotten nails, you can only stand on it and shout for a big ship, but your Li family is different, the old prime minister is the old prime minister, decisively withdraw, the old tree sprouts, the Li family continues to count For a hundred years, it really is not without reason"

Li Long turned and walked towards the door, Tang Hu said so, what he was still dreaming about, the last bit of effort, finally still. . . . . . The battle of the 100,000 army, whether it is the emperor of China or the court minister, at this moment, no one has thought about the life and death of the 100,000 soldiers in China. The court ministers are staring at their fields, and the emperor of China has calculated How can we exchange the cards in hand for the greatest benefit? Even if the empire wants to negotiate, it won’t really talk about it until the emperor has the power he thought of."8
