"Your Majesty, we have been staying in Jincheng for five days. Are we waiting for something?"
Eunuch Li Yan followed the wishes of all the soldiers and could only bite the bullet and ask His Majesty.
Who told me not to take any ministers with me on this expedition?
Li Yan not only had to take care of Chen Xuan's daily life, but also was responsible for contacting the soldiers below, almost like an intermediary messenger.
"nature."
Chen Xuan stopped the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "Could it be that those soldiers were impatient with waiting and urged you to ask again?"
"No."
Li Yan said bitterly: "We are going on an expedition."
"Every extra day you stay will consume an extra day of food and grass."
"The morale of the soldiers will also decrease."
"Your Majesty, what are you waiting for?"
"Can you tell the soldiers something so that they can feel confident and not be too impatient."
"I think you are impatient."
Chen Xuan nodded at Li Yan and said angrily: "Do I really not know who these soldiers are?"
"If you can't assemble 50,000 soldiers in a short period of time, you will bring in refugees and beggars to make up for your losses. Do you really think that I am blind?"
"This, this..."
Li Yan said solemnly: "I don't know, I don't know."
"This is all a matter for the Ministry of War."
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is aware of everything, and these little tricks cannot be hidden from His Majesty."
"Stop flattering."
Chen Xuan kicked him.
Li Yan was suffering from pain.
If His Majesty hits you, it means that he is close to you.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't even bother to fight.
Just order someone to behead the dog.
"Is there any memorial sent today?"
Chen Xuan asked.
"No."
Li Yan shook his head.
"It seems that those in the capital have already taken action."
Chen Xuan said.
"Um?"
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Is there anyone who dares to stop the memorial?"
"That is a crime of treason."
"hehe."
Chen Xuan sneered, "Even my children are not my biological children, what else can't they do?"
Um?
Li Yan was stunned again.
He looked at Chen Xuan infatuatedly, as if he had met him on the first day.
"Accident?"
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Do you think I only know how to review memorials? I know nothing about outside things?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can anyone hide the affairs of the world from His Majesty..."
Li Yan hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kept patting the rainbow fart.
"It's just, Your Majesty, I dare to ask."
"Since you already know about this, why don't you do it?"
"So, you also know about this?"
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yan with a half-smile.
As His Majesty's servant, Li Yan is aware of His Majesty's every move, every frown and every smile.
A half-smiling look like this means that His Majesty is really angry.
And furious.
A rage that cannot be quelled by bloodshed.
"Old slave, old slave, old slave don't know."
Li Yan said tremblingly: "I just heard some rumors and didn't take them seriously."
"snort!"
Chen Xuan snorted coldly, swung his sleeves, and said coldly: "Since you heard the rumors, why didn't you tell me?"
"This, this..."
Li Yan was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat.
Tell you?
How do you tell this thing?
Do you believe it?
And this matter involves a lot.
It will not only affect His Majesty's reputation, but also affect the throne, the East Palace, and even the future of the Dawei Dynasty.
Li Yan didn't dare to say anything casually.
"It seems that you are not very loyal to me either."
Chen Xuan said indifferently.
"This old slave is extremely loyal to His Majesty. The sun and the moon can tell us that I have no disloyal intentions."
Li Yan hurriedly expressed his position.
"Then why don't you tell me?"
Chen Xuan asked again.
"this……"
Li Yan gritted his teeth and had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare."
"Whether this matter is true or false, once it is exposed, it will definitely affect the stability of the Dawei Dynasty."
"It may even affect the position of the successor, the crown prince of the East Palace, and even the stability of the Dawei Dynasty."
"Old slave, too..."
"okay."
Chen Xuan waved his sleeves and said angrily: "I know you have difficulties."
"But it's still your fault for hiding it from me."
"According to my past temper, I might chop off your head."
"For the sake of you serving me all these years, I can spare your life."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Li Yan kowtowed and thanked him.
I touched my forehead and saw it was covered in cold sweat.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
Even though he is His Majesty's favorite and has been following His Majesty for many years, he still cannot figure out His Majesty's thoughts.
If you are not careful, your head may move.
Please communicate with His Majesty more often when encountering anything in the future, lest he feel that he is disloyal again.
"But there is no escape from living sin."
Chen Xuan continued: "I order you to lead the three armies to Yuzhou to suppress the bandits."
"I will wipe out all the bandits in Yuzhou. If you can't do it, I will lock you in a dark room for seven days."
"If I can do it, when I return to the palace, not only will I forget the past, I will also be rewarded heavily."
"Let the old slave suppress the bandits?"
Li Yan was in a daze.
"if not?"
Chen Xuan said impatiently: "I have already taken command, are you really asking me to go to the battlefield in person?"
"I only know how to talk about war on paper, but I don't know real tactics."
"If you die in the hands of bandits, won't the world be completely in chaos?"
"This old slave doesn't know tactics either!"
"This old slave is also afraid of death!"
Li Yan wanted to say this, but seeing Chen Xuan's gloomy expression, he could only swallow these words.
If the true king asks his subjects to die, they will have to die.
Li Yan could only bite the bullet and accept this task.
In accordance with His Majesty's decree, he led 30,000 elite soldiers and generals to march towards Yuzhou.
"Finally, our Majesty has sent troops to suppress the bandits."
When the people in western Yuzhou saw this scene, they went out to welcome him.
Send rice, send noodles...
Forget it, the people in Yuzhou are too poor to open the pot, where can they get rice and noodles?
Most of them give wild vegetables as gifts.
Some even sent dry firewood, hoping to add some warmth to the soldiers during this cold winter.
Li Yan felt the simplicity of the common people.
I also deeply understood one word - the admiration of all people.
Just killing a bandit can make the people so supportive.
If the Dawei dynasty is governed in an orderly manner, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the world is prosperous, then shouldn't it become a wise king who will be passed down from generation to generation?
No, I can only be a eunuch passed down from generation to generation.
never mind.
Being an eunuch is not complete at all, it is enough to lose the person in this life.
It can also be a disgrace for generations to come.
Then it will take thousands of years? Tens of thousands of years?
Besides, you don’t know how to govern the world?
It's better to leave it to Your Majesty.
Just go out and suppress the bandits honestly.
As for not being able to fight, it doesn't matter.
According to what His Majesty said, the bandits in Yuzhou are all a ragtag group of people, and most of them are small cottages, often numbering only a few hundred people.
He carries an army of thirty thousand.
A hard siege can also encircle them to death.
…
Yuzhou, Bianliang County, in the state capital.
King Chentong of Yuzhou once again called everyone together for a meeting.
What is discussed is very simple.
That is why His Majesty stopped in Jincheng and did not proceed to Yuzhou.
You know, they have already made a plan.
After His Majesty enters Yuzhou, Chen Tong will lead officials from the Yuzhou headquarters to greet him.
First, please flatter me so that your majesty can relax your vigilance.
Then he took advantage of his unpreparedness and stabbed Chen Xuan in the back, seriously injuring Chen Xuan.
Or kill him with one hit.
Without a leader, the 50,000 soldiers were defeated without any attack.
What's more, Chen Tong is His Majesty's biological brother.
His Majesty is dead and the prince is young. It is natural for his younger brother to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Without much trouble, he can win the throne and lead the Dawei Dynasty.
However, His Majesty Zuo did not enter Yuzhou.
Wait a minute, Your Majesty has not entered Yuzhou yet.
The royal capital of Yuzhou has left Bianliang County and entered Henan County.
But I couldn't wait for His Majesty, so he came back in despair.
"I don't know about this either."
Staff Gu Tianhe was also puzzled, "But I have sent people to inquire along the way."
"Once His Majesty comes to Yuzhou, he will definitely pass the news to us as soon as possible."
"By that time, it won't be too late for us to set out to greet them."
"Report!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard hurried in from outside.
"What kind of reward?"
Chen Tong said angrily: "Didn't you see that we were discussing important matters?"
"Get out and don't disturb us."
"Forehead!"
The guard was stunned for a moment.
Looking at Chen Tong and Gu Tianhe, I didn't know who to listen to.
He is the bodyguard sent by Gu Tianhe.
If you encounter an emergency, you can report it immediately regardless of the opportunity.
The key is that Chen Tong is the king of Yuzhou, and you must listen to his words.
"King of Yuzhou, wait a moment, wait a moment."
Gu Tianhe hurriedly stopped the angry Chen Tong and explained: "This is the guard I sent out. They came here in such a hurry. They should have something urgent to report. Let's listen to it."
"snort!"
Chen Tong snorted coldly, "For the sake of my staff, I will give you a chance."
"If your answer does not satisfy me, I will definitely give you fifty blows."
"Back to the King of Yuzhou, Sir Gu, Your Majesty is marching."
The guard said respectfully: "I am guarding Shanyang County and saw with my own eyes that Your Majesty led the army to leave Jincheng and enter Shanyang County."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we will reach Bianliang County in three days..."
"Your Majesty is on an expedition?"
Chen Tong patted his thigh and said in surprise: "Okay, great."
"Everyone go back and prepare. We will set off to Henan County tomorrow to welcome His Majesty."
