"I am aware of this matter, and King Jing has also confessed his crime and received the punishment he deserves."
"Do you have any other grievances? If not, you can go back."
"Oh...ah!" When Lu Junda heard this, he froze on the spot and was at a loss.
This...is this the end?
In order to complain about the imperial complaint, I struggled for a while without thinking about tea or food. Last night, I almost had a sky lantern lit, and then I finally made up my mind to beat the drum of injustice.
But the result was good. From the time the drum of grievance was sounded to the time he entered the main hall and had a conversation with Emperor Jing Xing, there were only three or two sentences in total, less than a stick of incense.
This is... the end!
He turned to look at the civil and military officials, then turned to look at King Jing who was ignoring him.
For a moment, I just felt that I was incompatible with this hall.
In the words of Li Changkong's previous life, he became a clown.
But clowns will be clowns, and he has filed a lawsuit. The group of extremely vicious people last night should have no reason to cause trouble for him anymore.
It is important to return to Yingzhou as soon as possible, otherwise when King Jing comes to his senses, he may be cut into pieces by five horses.
Although the dismemberment of five horses is not as tragic as lighting a sky lantern, it is still a "decent" way to die! He, Lu Junda, doesn't want to enjoy it yet.
He has even decided that after returning to Yingzhou, he will run some business there and spend the rest of his life like this.
As for Qiandu City, he never wanted to come again.
To be precise, I never dare to come again.
It turned out that behind him was Lu Heng, and behind Lu Heng was King Jing.
This kind of background is not insignificant, but there are still extremely evil people who want to light his sky lantern.
The water in Qiandu City is too deep for him to wade through.
"No more. Thank you, the Holy One, for your grace. The common people are deeply grateful."
Emperor Jing Xing nodded and glanced at King Jing and Liu Yu. The meaning was self-evident.
Then turned and left.
Zheng Ying stepped forward at the right time and said: "Retreat from the court!"
King Jing was banned for three months, and the matter came to an end.
The next person to worry about is Prince Liu Yu, but Li Changkong is relatively free.
It didn't take long for the weather to get colder.
A chilly chill filled the streets and alleys of Qiandu City. On Taipingfang Nanhe Alley, the constant stream of shouts that usually filled the streets and alleys were gone.
In such cold weather, even the most aggressive salesmen would not want to go out on the street.
It's late November now, and it won't be long before it starts snowing.
In the Wulinghou Mansion, Li Changkong looked up at the sky with some emotion.
After it snows, I'm afraid it won't be long before the New Year is approaching.
This is the first year he has lived since traveling to Daqian.
Butler Yang has already started to arrange New Year's goods, and all the maids and servants in the family have gone out to buy.
This is how a wealthy family celebrates the New Year.
Red lanterns were also hung up early to make it lively and festive.
It's just that this person may not be able to get together.
Although all the civil and military officials in the court said that going south to fight against Chen was the same as picking up for nothing.
But several months had passed, and no news had come from Li Zhufeng.
Li Changkong had some bad guesses in his mind.
It's just that he is far away in the court, so what?
All we can do is wait.
However, just when Li Changkong felt lost, Butler Yang arrived with a happy face.
I saw him running panting and gasping for breath. After seeing Li Changkong, he stopped and panted while saying: "Master, Master...Master is back!"
Li Changkong stood up and asked, "Where did the news come from?"
"The Ministry of War! News from the Ministry of War!"
"What a victory!"
"The master not only led his troops to seize the Xiangjiang River, but also captured the entire Nanchen navy and completely destroyed it!"
"This is a great achievement!"
When Li Changkong heard this, he suddenly understood.
If the Xiangjiang River is captured and the navy is completely destroyed, Nanchen will completely lose its border dominance in the next five to ten years.
It's not an exaggeration to even say that one should act based on Daqian's expression.
With the Xiangjiang River in hand, Daqian could attack Chen Guo if he wanted to, and he could also hit and run away. Nan Chen had no choice at all.
This move is similar to his strategy of taking advantage of the geographical advantages of the Canglan Mountains and supplementing it with mountain-shaped camps to achieve an advance that can be attacked and a retreat that can be defended!
"Okay! A tiger's son has no dog father!"
When Butler Yang heard this, he suddenly felt sweat on his forehead.
Good fellow, only you, Master, can say this.
As a housekeeper, I feel guilty when I hear this.
The old Li family is really a loving father and a filial son.
"When will you return to Gandu?"
"The army is already on the way. The Ministry of War said it is expected to arrive in three days."
"At that time, all members of the Ministry of War will lead the imperial edict to welcome them."
"To show generosity."
Li Changkong nodded after hearing this.
Since ancient times, it has been the highest etiquette for a general to return to court and be greeted by an emperor.
Although what Li Zhufeng has accomplished is a great achievement, to be honest, it has not reached this level yet.
If Nan Chen could be completely destroyed, it would be enough to have the emperor welcome him.
Having all the members of the Ministry of War and an imperial edict is already quite an honor.
Presumably after this battle, my father's career will no longer be so bleak.
"Then in three days, we will leave the city with the Ministry of War to greet dad."
"I must be very happy that the young master can have such filial piety."
Li Changkong waved his hand and said nothing more.
…
Three days later, outside Gandu City.
Led by Ma Rulong, the Minister of War, who was wearing a crimson official robe, the officials of the Ministry of War, large and small, stood neatly.
Ma Rulong also held up a golden edict in his hand, symbolizing the majesty of the royal family.
Li Changkong, who was standing next to Ma Rulong, couldn't help but nodded secretly when he saw this.
It seems that Nanchen's naval forces are not that arrogant. The court just wanted to drive them out of the Xiangjiang River at first.
This time, Dad wiped out the Nanchen Shui Army.
Judging from the current treatment, this contribution is probably greater than I thought.
Not long after, everyone saw bursts of dust rising outside the distant city.
The army is coming!
When Li Zhufeng set out, the weather was not bad, and the recruits had to adapt to life on the water, so he took the water route.
But it was winter now, and there were many risks if we took the water route, so we took the land route.
When Li Zhufeng came back this time, he didn't bring many people with him, only three thousand, but they were all confidants.
Follow him on the ship, a ruthless character who kills people and blocks knives at the same time!
When he got closer, Li Zhufeng saw the military guard of honor from a distance, and for a moment, he was filled with emotions.
Once upon a time, this scene was so familiar.
More than ten years ago, every time he went on an expedition and returned victorious, he was treated like this.
It’s just that the prosperous years in the past no longer exist after that incident.
Li Zhufeng couldn't help but sigh when he was touched by the scene.
But when he saw Li Changkong standing with Ma Rulong from a distance.
These emotions were gone, and he turned to raise the corner of his mouth slightly, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "It's pretty good now."
