Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 64 One wave and three twists and turns

The voice of Xiao Huangmen was loud and slowly echoed in the Wenhua Hall.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

For the first time, almost abnormally, no one reacted to let Lu Yu enter the palace.

Zhu Youxiao on the throne blinked his eyes, still maintaining the gesture of pointing at Liu Yijing a moment ago. Even the expression on his face was angry for the first time, and then turned into surprise.

Wang Qi's report has arrived in the capital from Liaodong?
  Liu Yijing, who had stiffened her neck to admonish Zhu Youxiao a second ago, swayed and almost lost her balance.

In the entire hall, after three seconds, everyone turned their eyes back and looked at the door of the hall, looking at Lu Yu who was sweating profusely outside the door.

"Quick, quick, quick!!!" Zhu Youxiao reacted and immediately stood up, waving to Lu Yu at the door of the hall: "Lu Aiqing, come in quickly! Bring up this newspaper!"

Humhhhhhh! ! !
  Lu Yu lifted up his robe and trotted into the bluestone-paved hall. He knelt on the ground with a plop and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Lu Yu, the left counselor of Tongzheng Yamen, is commanding the affairs of Liaodong. Wang Qi reports , a tribute to His Majesty!!!"

Lu Yu rode all the way from Tongzheng Yamen outside the imperial city. He got off his mount a hundred meters outside Donghua Gate, made an announcement, and then led the eunuch to Wenhua Hall, which took less than a quarter of an hour.

Sweat fell on the bluestone.

Tick ​​tock! ! !
  In the silent hall, the only sound was Lu Yu's panting.

Everyone's eyes fell on the notebook held high by Lu Yu's hands.

Report?

Liu Yijing's eyes glanced at the memorial: If it is a great victory, it should be spread thousands of miles and win all the way!
  What does this mean?
  It shows that Wang Qi has not made any actual achievements!
  Almost in an instant, Liu Yijing, who figured out the joints, forcibly regained her composure.

Nothing happened. Even if he gained something from his trip, it still couldn't erase the fact that he led his troops into the grasslands without permission and caused suffering on the border!
  At most, just kill a few Jiannu slaves!
  Liu Yijing snorted coldly, her mentality returned to normal, and her face became confident: Today, one of me and Wang Qi will definitely go out lying down!

At this moment, not far away, the Chief Minister of the Cabinet Ye Xianggao frowned and looked at the memorial, with a vague premonition in his heart. Although the memorial did not mention whether it was a good news or not, at this time, time is too sensitive. .

Ahem, Han Xu walked forward without leaving any trace, and was about three steps away from Liu Yijing. The grand bachelor looked at Liu Yijing with some worry, and then looked at the man lying quietly in Lu Yu's hands. He has written a memorial and is already preparing to support his cabinet colleagues.

"Lu Aiqing," Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath from the throne and wanted to wave someone to bring the memorial, but hesitated: "You, have you read it?"

"It concerns Liaodong. To avoid any misunderstanding, I have already seen it," Lu Yu nodded.

"How is it?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Lu Yu expectantly, hoping to see a hint of victory from his face: "Lu Aiqing, tell me."

Not only Zhu Youxiao, almost everyone wanted to see something from Lu Yu's face.

But Councilor Zuo, who was usually full of joy and anger, had a tense face at the moment, not showing any trace of joy or depression.

"Your Majesty! Wang Qi, the commanding general of Liaodong, responded," Lu Yu said with a solemn expression, without the slightest hint of joy:
  "On the night of April 6th, the Ming Dynasty envoys killed 172 slaves in the royal court of the Mongolian Zuo Banner of Horqin. Among them, the third-class general officer of Hou Jin Zhengbai Banner, Li Yongfang, the traitor general of our dynasty, this battle Execute!!"

hiss! ! ! !

As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, the entire hall was filled with sighs.

More than a hundred people fought against Jiannu and killed Li Yongfang!
  Great victory! ! !

What a great victory!

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to me for the Ming Dynasty!!"

Almost all the officials, including the more than thirty officials who had just knelt on the ground and shouted that they wanted to behead Wang Qi, also sent congratulations to Zhu Youxiao at this moment. Even Liu Yijing could no longer keep a tight face at this moment and could only bow to congratulate Zhu Youxiao.
  "Li Yongfang is dead?" Zhu Youxiao's nervousness and surprise a second ago turned into joy, and he almost jumped up from the throne.

"Hahaha!! Okay, Wang Qi led a hundred people into the grassland, as if they were in an uninhabited land, and killed hundreds of Jianzhou people in the Horqin Palace, making Li Yongfang the leader, and avenging the shame of pacifying the people for me, he is my Ming Dynasty squad Dingyuan! This is my fortune for the Ming Dynasty, for me, and even more for the country!" Zhu Youxiao clapped his hands, feeling relaxed for a moment, and narrowed his eyes. To Liu Yijing:
  "What, Mr. Liu? Did Wang Qi go out of the border without permission and cause trouble?"

"Your Majesty!" Liu Yijing snorted coldly: "Beheading more than a hundred Jiu slaves is not a great victory worth bragging about! But Li Yongfang's execution is considered a small feat!"

"But!" Liu Yijing still straightened his waist and refused to give in. "This merit is not enough to compensate for Wang Qi's three major crimes! I think that the death penalty can be avoided, but I still have to be escorted back to the capital for trial by a competent authority!"

When Liu Yijing was speaking, more than ten officials who originally knelt down with him stood up quietly. Apparently, Wang Qi's new meritorious service made everyone hesitate or panic.
  "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Wang Qi, who is the commander of Liaodong, has not finished reading the memorial!" Lu Yu coughed lightly, holding the memorial high, and lowered his body.

"There's more?" Zhu Youxiao exclaimed in surprise, stood up completely, and beckoned: "Keep reading!"

At this time, Liu Yijing couldn't calm down at all. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Lu Yu: Why don't you finish reading it all at once? This guy is here just to see me lose my temper!
  "In the early morning of April 7th, when our army was fighting against Jianzhou, Horqin King Khan Balazul was accidentally shot and killed!" Lu Yu's voice was steady, without any tremors when she told the story.

King Horqin Khan is dead?
  Zhu Youxiao's eyes widened. Before he could react, he heard a loud shout from the hall.

"His Majesty!"

I saw Liu Yijing immediately taking a step, as if he were in the abyss, interrupted Lu Yu's words, and almost shouted to Zhu Youxiao: "Wang Qi rashly left the seclusion with hundreds of people, and disputed with the slaves, resulting in the death of the grassland king Khan. Provocations at the same border will cause endless harm! I believe that he should be recalled immediately! At the same time, an envoy is sent to Horqin to appease the grassland tribes and provide an explanation for this matter!"

"Whether the outcome of this matter is good or bad, Wang Qi is unavoidable!" Liu Yijing's joy overflowed from her face.

Finally I got the handle!

King Horqin Khan is dead!
  Given the relationship between Jianzhou and Horqin, if they don't pin this shit on Daming, Liu Yijing's life would have been in vain!
  "This, Mr. Liu, is too far-fetched. Wang Qi's memorial does not say who Horqin wants to be responsible for this matter." Sun Chengzong on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

"Isn't this an obvious thing?" Liu Yijing frowned and asked, "Could it be that Horqin will join forces with me, the Ming Dynasty, to attack Jiannu? What kind of grand dream is Master Qin Sun doing?"

"Mr. Liu, please wait a moment, I haven't finished speaking yet," Lu Yu, the left counselor of the General Affairs Office, had bright eyes at this moment, with an expression of gloating: "There is another sentence at the end of this memorial!"

"What?" Liu Yijing asked almost subconsciously.

"What is it?" Zhu Youxiao stood up and took two steps forward.

Everyone looked at Lu Yu nervously.

At this moment, Lu Yu felt that this was the most glorious time in her life.

"In the early morning of April 7th, Huang Taiji died and Horqin died!"

"Qin Erbao under Wang Qi's tent took his sword and beheaded him!"

"At three o'clock in the morning, Horqin discussed the affairs of the king, Yue Shan and Wang Qi drank the wine of blood and announced that the Ming Dynasty and Horqin would forever be friends!"

This time, Lu Yu almost finished reading the memorial in one breath without stopping.

At the same time, Lu Yu almost used all her strength to lift the memorial high, and then shouted:

“My lord, congratulations to Your Majesty!!!”

The next second, there was a plop!
  Liu Yijing had fallen on her back.

But no one came forward to help. Even Han Xu, who had been prepared for a long time, did not move. Everyone was stunned.

At this moment, one sentence echoed in everyone's mind: Huang Taiji died and Horqin died!
  　Excuse me! ! Everyone, it’s a bit late, sorry! ! !
