The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 378 I am more and more ashamed to see people
Among the major families in the imperial capital, probably only the Jia family is currently in a relaxed and happy atmosphere.

The other great families are still depressed and depressed.

Even the palace is no exception.

Emperor Yuanheng seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden. For a few days, when he went to bed at night, he didn't even turn over the sign, but lived alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Now, it's time for the flop again.The eunuch has already held the sign and waited for two cups of tea.

There are a lot of memorials before the case, but Emperor Yuan Heng is no longer willing to read them.

No matter how you look at it, there is no good news, but bad news, one after another.

Most of these memorials were handed over by the generals of the Northern Expedition.

Some said that the friendly army did not cooperate, some said that the military rations were moldy, and some said that the ordnance was insufficient...

Always, just didn't say that I was wrong, and pushed the responsibility for the defeat to others.

As for the three major issues he is most concerned about at present, no one has mentioned them.

One is how to prevent the Tatars from going south.

The second is the question of whether Bu Kui has sunk.

The third is the whereabouts of the prince and Chang'an.

For these people, he was disappointed.

He is frustrated with the current situation.

For the child of the Jia family who resolutely opposed the war before the war, he felt—annoyed.

For such a big event, he was actually right about everything.

In front of the whole world, tell him to tell the truth.

Jia's child was right, but the others were wrong.

It doesn't matter if the ministers are wrong, even I was wrong.

I am the Son of Heaven, how could I be wrong?I am not wrong, it is the ministers who are wrong, it is the ministers who have deceived me.

I am not wrong, it is the Tatars who are wrong.It was they who used conspiracy and tricks and shamelessly surrendered, which caused the 15 army to be defeated.

This abominable child of the Jia family, he made me lose face and became a joke of the world.

At this time, he is probably hiding in some dark corner, secretly laughing at me, right?

"Your Majesty, I am overjoyed."

A man ran over staggeringly, and when he was still about ten battles away, he shouted.

It was Lu University, who ranked first among the six military aircraft bachelors.I am almost 70 years old, and I am like a child at this time.

"Your Majesty, I am overjoyed."

"Li Aiqing, it's already this time, why are you so happy?"

"Your Majesty, the heavens have eyes, the heavens have eyes, and Bu Kui and Feng Ziying will play, they have already defeated the Tatars. Look, Your Majesty!"

Defeated the Tartars?how is this possible?

Yuan Heng took the memorial half-believingly, and read it.

This is a joint memorial signed by Feng Ziying, Chief of Staff of the Fubing Regiment stationed in Bukui, Chen Yejun, Chief of Training, and Wei Ruolan, Chief of Military Intelligence.

It is said that they followed the instructions of Jia Min, the head of the army regiment, and kept strict guard.When the Tatars were preparing to cross the Erdaojiang River, they fought an ambush.Defeated 600 Tatar pioneers and killed more than [-] Tatar cavalry.

At present, the Tatars have retreated to the southern Vendura grasslands and dare not go south.Bu Kui is safe and sound, and none of the more than 9000 exiles has escaped.

Their government corps will swear to stick to Bukui and never let the Tatars go south.

As for the details, Jia Lian, the battalion commander of the first battalion of the Fubing Regiment, has been sent back to make a statement to the saint.

The memorial is not long, only three or four hundred words.Yuan Heng read it over and over again, for fear of missing a word.

He couldn't believe it was true.

How is this possible?
The 15 army was defeated. How could they defeat the Tatars with a small army?
Isn't this a joke?
"Lu Aiqing, don't fool me, how is this possible?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not lie to the Emperor. I didn't believe it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, I believed it."

"Well, tell me."

"First, in the past few days, there has been no news of Tatars going south from the prefectures and counties along the way. Second, there has been no news of exile and rebellion. Based on this, I speculate that the Tatars did not go south. Hold on."

"That's the truth, but how is this possible? How many people are there in the Bukui Mansion Corps?"

"Less than 6000 people."

"How could it be possible to defeat 6000 people with less than 2 people?"

"Your Majesty, it's not impossible. Jia Min defeated 700 people with 2 people last year. Besides, what I'm talking about here is defeat. I think it should have given the Tatars a heavy blow and made them feel better." I dare not go south because of my scruples."

"The minister has made arrangements to tell the prefectures and counties along the way to report quickly. In a few days, the authenticity will be known. If this matter is true, the crisis can be resolved and the overall situation will be safe."

"Who else has seen this discount?"

"Everyone else has left, and only the old minister has seen it."

"Lu Aiqing, please don't publicize this matter for the time being. We will make an announcement after definite news comes from below."

Be more cautious, I can't afford to lose this person anymore.

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister resigns."

Although he looked nonchalant on the surface, Yuan Heng felt ecstasy in his heart.

If this matter is true, it will remove the two major confidants.

For so many days, the troubles of sleeping and eating were easily resolved like this?

Ordinarily, they don't have the guts to deceive me.At this time, there is no need to deceive.

The 15 army was defeated. It is completely normal for 6000 people to lose, and no one will hold them accountable.There is no need to lie about the military situation.

Could it be that the children of the Jia family created another miracle?

This bastard, why is it him again?Doesn't this make me even more ashamed to see people?Can someone else die?

"emperor."

Duanpai eunuch urged again.

Yuan Heng lingered on the plate for a while, and finally turned over Jia Yuanchun's sign.

Hmph, little child of the Jia family, if you dare to slap me in the face, I will slap your sister.

If Jia Min knew what Yuan Heng was thinking at this time, I don't know how he would feel.

I would probably say something in my heart: You sleep with your wife, it's none of my business!
Of course, Jia Min didn't know what Yuan Heng was thinking.

At this moment, he didn't bother to figure out what the emperor was thinking, because he was busy having wine with King Beijing, Bachelor Ji, Xiu Tonggui, and Liu Changfeng.

This is the largest restaurant in Zhili. It not only has food and wine banquets, but also plays to watch.

Currently, a play is being played on the stage.This is "A Tour in the Garden" by Master Ji, and it is a passage from Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion".

After this show is over, it's time for Jia Min to order.

Jia Min looked at the play list and ordered "Guandu".

"Guandu" is a passage in Three Kingdoms, which tells the story of Yuan Shao's defeat by Cao Cao at Guandu.

Tian Feng, Yuan Shao's counselor, is extremely clever and predicts things like a god.However, he has an upright personality and speaks straightforwardly.

Before the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was persuaded not to let him attack Cao Cao, saying that the battle would be defeated.

Going against the leader in this way naturally has no good fruit to eat.As a result, Yuan Shao was imprisoned on the charge of disturbing the morale of the army.

Later, Yuan Shao was defeated at Guandu. When the news came, the jailer said, Tian Feng, this time you are very prosperous.When the leader returns, he will definitely reward you greatly.

As soon as Tian Feng heard it, he said that it was broken now.If the lord wins, it means he is better than me, and I will still have a way out.

Now that I am defeated, it means that I am better than the lord, this time I am doomed.

How can subordinates be smarter than leaders?
Sure enough, while Yuan Shao was still on the road, he sent back the sword and ordered someone to kill Tian Feng.

This play is a replica of Jia Min and the Emperor,
Jia Min didn't think that the emperor would really kill him, but it was certain that he would lose nothing because of it.

The only turning point was that when the Tatars went south, the government corps attacked and severely injured the Tatars, blocked them in the Erdao River, and saved Bukui.Maybe the matter will be over.

As soon as a few people came this afternoon, Jia Min understood their intentions.The purpose of ordering this play now is to tell them not to speak up, and to persuade themselves to clean up the mess in North Wendura.

The reason why Jia Min left the imperial capital and stayed outside all the time was because he was waiting for the limelight of the defeat in North Wendura to fade away.

If he was hanging around in the imperial capital at this time, it would be very eye-catching.It is easy to be seen by others as deliberately demonstrating to the emperor to prove the emperor's mistake.

None of them were fools, so they naturally understood what Jia Min meant.Let's not talk about it for the time being, exchange eyes with each other, and plan to discuss it later.

So I gossiped and ate wine.

At this moment, Ning'er came with Zhang Decai.

Zhang Decai sent Feng Ziying's letter to Jia Min.

The letter introduced the process of blocking the Tatars in Erdaojiang and sending Jia Lian back to the imperial capital.

After reading the letter, Jia Min felt relieved, and then handed the letter to Beijing King Shui Rong.

When Shui Rong read the letter, the expression on his face became richer, and he stood up all of a sudden.

Due to the excessive movement, he hit the table, causing a burst of shaking.The wine glasses on the table were poured, and the wine spilled out.

Seeing King Jing like this, the other three also came over to read the letter, naturally they also looked surprised.

"My lords, if this is the case, I can barely explain to you."

Jia Min said it was modest, but he was a little proud in his heart.

"Defending Bukui and preventing the Tatars from going south is an unworldly feat. The overall situation has been settled, and the crisis in the Northeast has been resolved. It should be clear, come, I respect Huaiyuan!"

The water-soluble excitement is beyond words.

"Secondary, we also have a toast."

Ji Dashi, Xiu Tonggui, and Liu Changfeng also stood up one after another, and everyone had a drink together.

"Have another drink, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return. After being depressed for many days, today I can finally drink to my heart's content."

Soluble took a second cup.

"Huaiyuan has no plans to spare. He is a rare pillar of the imperial court by anticipating the enemy's opportunity first and strategizing. This king will toast you for the third cup, and the rest of you will salute again."

"Okay, the rest is up to us to respect."

Xiu Tonggui hastened to join in the fun.

It was not easy for Jia Min to refuse. In addition, after receiving Feng Ziying's letter, he was very excited that the things he had been worrying about had finally come to a satisfactory result.That is to say, all comers are not rejected, and they fight for wine with everyone.

"Huiyuan has made such great achievements, but it is unfair to be slandered by villains. When I go back, I will join the petition to seek justice for Huaiyuan."

Master Ji was a mild-mannered person, and he was arguing for Jia Min's grievances. Seeing that Jia Min had already made arrangements to prevent the Tatars from going south, and he drank too much alcohol, he became emotional and made a suggestion.

It doesn't matter what he said, but Jia Min was taken aback.

"Scholar Ji must not do so, it will harm Jia Min."

Ji Dashi's single-mindedness relapsed again, so it doesn't matter what Jia Min thinks.

"Why should Huaiyuan be timid? Although the crisis in the Northeast has been resolved, the whereabouts of the prince and princess are still unknown. How can you stand by and watch?"

Jia Min wished he could slam his head on the table to death.

Can you and the elders like the emperor do some serious things in a day?

Can this child die if you don't bully me?
