Many days passed before Liu Mingzhi executed Shi Huai with a military order.
Although several days had passed, the scene of that day was still vivid in the mind of the general who went to the banquet.
Many generals realized that Liu Mingzhi, who usually laughed, cursed, and fought with them and others on the way to the expedition, and had no majesty as a prince, was so tough and tough.
After Shi Huai was executed, many die-hard soldiers of the Qilin Guard and Shi Huai were naturally not convinced that their general was executed, and intentionally or unintentionally incited the Qilin Guard soldiers to make some small moves.
Since Liu Mingzhi beheaded Shi Huai, he has been instructing Song Qing and others to arrange manpower to pay close attention to every move in the Qilin Guard camp.
Naturally, their little moves were not hidden from the eyes of Song Qing and others.
A thunderous and rainy operation of small suppression was once again launched under the order of Liu Mingzhi. Faced with the reasonable behavior of a group of seniors who had just retired from the battlefield less than half a month ago, the 50,000 new recruits of the Qilin Guard were moved to tears.
In the end, he was convinced by his seniors' persuasion and stayed in the camp outside the city for training.
Of those caring people, some were successfully persuaded to come down, and some became nourishment who sacrificed their lives to revitalize the land in Northern Xinjiang!
The deputy general Guo Yi recommended by Su Baiqing was temporarily appointed as the general of the Qilin Guard. Liu Mingzhi specially summoned Guo Yi, interviewed Guo Yi, and had no objection to his temporary position as the general of the Qilin Guard.
After informing the two commanders in charge, Yunyang, and Guo Yi, he introduced Guo Yi to Zhang Kuang. After all, the Qilin Guard would be merged into the Longwu Guard of Yingzhou City in the future, so it was perfect to introduce Guo Yi to Zhang Kuang.
Regarding the matter of Qilin Guard General Shi Huai and the change of generals, Liu Mingzhi sent someone to send a letter to the capital. As for the outcome, Liu Mingzhi didn't care. Only then would the matter be considered completely over.
During this period, Liu Mingzhi met with Qin Bin, the governor of Yingzhou, Jia Youwei, the governor of Fuzhou, Yang Tong, the governor of Jeju, and the six governors of Yunzhou. After discussing about the city defense and the restoration of people's livelihood in the northern border area, , then disappeared in front of everyone.
Many people thought that King Bingjian had some lingering stagnation in his body and was resting in his mansion to recover.
It wasn't until the officials of the twenty-seven mansions in Northern Xinjiang came to the mansion one after another to ask for an audience to discuss the autumn harvest, but none of them saw Mr. Liu's figure, that everyone realized that the matter might not be as simple as recuperating as they thought. !
When all the governors of the twenty-seven prefectures in Northern Xinjiang returned without success and did not see Young Master Liu, Yunyang and Nangong Ye couldn't sit still.
The war has ended, and millions of soldiers and horses have gathered in Northern Xinjiang. Where to place them, whether the reinforcements from the Western Regions will return, whether they will return to Beijing to report on their duties, and how to report the war in Northern Xinjiang to Heaven, are all put on hold.
Young Master Liu, who was in charge of the important military and political affairs in Northern Xinjiang, did not show his face. No one dared to decide how to arrange the millions of soldiers and horses without authorization.
Although Nangong Ye's left and right troops in Yunyang were not under Liu Mingzhi's command, they were within his control.
The two of them could not take the decision without regard to Liu Mingzhi, the side-by-side king.
However, Liu Mingzhi did not show up for a long time, so the two of them had no choice but to come to see him in person, intending to discuss how to arrange the millions of soldiers and horses after the war.
However, the two of them encountered the same situation as the governors of more than 20 mansions. They could not see Liu Dashao, the prince who had disappeared for more than half a month.
The two of them in Yunyang had no choice but to pay homage to Princess Qi Yun. They only received a message that my husband was unwell and could not receive you all now.
When your husband is in good health, he will personally convey this reply to your Lordships.
The two had no choice but to return without success, just like the governor of the Twenty-seventh Mansion.
Yunyang was unwilling and had no choice but to send his daughter-in-law. The evil aunt Liu Yinglai, whom Young Master Liu regarded as a female devil and avoided, stayed with the palace for a while to explore the truth and find out what happened to Liu Mingzhi.
However, Liu Ying came in person and had no chance to meet Young Master Liu.
All he knew was that his nephew Liu Mingzhi was handling government affairs and recuperating in the study.
Liu Ying had no choice but to make some insinuations from her nephew-in-law Qi Yun to see if she could find out the true situation of her bastard nephew, but Qi Yun and her sisters sent them back with excuses.
Liu Ying had no choice but to stay in the palace after replying a letter to her father-in-law. She wanted to see how long her little Mingming could stay in the room.
Qi Yun and the other girls didn't say anything. They took every detail of Liu Ying's service and treated her like a mother-in-law.
It's not that Qi Yun and the girls don't want to tell this aunt Liu Ying, who loves her husband to the core, her husband's true situation.
But the sisters of Qi Yun also didn't know where their husbands had gone.
The husband only left a letter to his concubine Qi Yun, telling her and her sisters that he had some important matters that needed to be handled in person, and there was no need to worry about personal safety. If anyone came to see him, he could just find an excuse to decline.
Then he disappeared into the house without a trace.
The sisters Qi Yun were also furious at their husband's unreliable behavior, but who put themselves and others in trouble for the rest of their lives?
I can only start telling lies with open eyes, one lie after another.
The women also speculated about their husband's movements and where he went to keep it secret.
The Queen's side? But the Queen's affairs are no longer a secret. There is no need to hide it when you go to see her.
At Yun Xiaoxi, Qi Yun knew that the man would not go there without telling her.
Turkic steppe? It’s probably unlikely to go!
Capital? There is no reason not to take the ladies back to meet their parents.
Jiangnan, that makes even less sense.
So the women, like the officials in Northern Xinjiang, began to speculate on the whereabouts of their husbands.
A group of officials could not see Mr. Liu and discussed matters related to people's livelihood for about twenty days.
A horseman rode from north to south, crossing Shanhaiguan and slowly heading towards Yingzhou City.
The people came one person and one horse, wearing a light blue Confucian shirt and a bamboo hat to cover their appearance. They carried a long sword wrapped in silk on their backs, leaving only a little of the hilt outside.
From time to time, the visitor would raise his flask and take a swig of wine, looking around on his horse, scanning the scenery inside and outside the pass.
The visitor put away the jug and muttered to himself, "How long will it take for the world to be unified?" Then he galloped towards Yingzhou with his whip raised.
After a few sticks of incense, the sounds of Qi Yun's sisters screaming in surprise came from the palace.
"Husband, you are a heartless person. You didn't know that you were back. My sisters thought you died outside and were exposed in the wilderness."
Saying these words shows how deep the resentment in the hearts of these women is.
"Ladies, you can chat about your own affairs first. My husband is going to take a bath, change clothes, and meet some people."
Although the girls were reluctant to leave their husbands who had just returned, they knew that they had business matters to deal with, so they had no choice but to let him go and do business matters first.
In Qi Yun's room, Liu Mingzhi wiped his hair with a towel and talked to Qi Yun. Qi Yun was carefully serving her husband to change into his python robe. Qi Yun, who was about to fasten the jade belt on her husband, suddenly raised her head and looked at Liu Mingzhi in shock.
"What? The war has only ended a few days ago. Husband, do you plan to counterattack Jin and invade the two countries?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the scenery outside the door with complicated eyes and nodded silently.
"Yun'er, even if no one understands my husband, I still have to fight. I must fight."
"My husband has a reason to keep fighting."
"I feel so bold. Can I ask my husband why?"
Liu Mingzhi's eyes were focused, so profound that it was hard to see clearly, and he quietly held Qi Yun in his arms.
"For the world."
"For the people of the world!"
"But......"
"Master, Xiaosong would like to see you."
Liu Mingzhi slowly released Qi Yun and looked out the door with a calm expression.
"Come in!"
"yes!"
"Master, the two generals on the left and right, the generals of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang, General Song, General Cheng, the new generals of the Six Guards, and the generals of the Western Region reinforcements are waiting outside the house. They said they have received your letter and are here. Pay my respects."
"Yes! Got it, please invite them to the main hall. I will go there right away."
"yes!"
After Liu Song left, Qi Yun looked at her husband tangledly.
"Husband."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and pinched Qi Yun's nose.
"Yun'er, I have my own difficulties as a husband. You will understand it in the future. I also hope that you will never understand."
"Help your husband wear the crown!"
"Yes! I understand."
