Chapter 564: The Empress withdraws her troops, causing unrest in the imperial court
"People in the secular world respect the past and despise the present. However, the world's trends are vast. Since ancient times, there has never been an eternal dynasty. Only by reforming and strengthening the country and adapting to the times can we achieve long-term peace and stability!"
"What Mr. Shang said is true. Your Highness, I have already discussed with your Majesty. When the reform was carried out, there was already a set of rules and regulations. All we need to do is implement them step by step."
Shen Li also stood up to support Shang Yang, followed by Zhuge Liang and others.
King Qi Lin suddenly looked troubled and looked at Lin Qiushi, who nodded slightly.
"Xiang Lin, Mr. Shang, the reform is a matter of concern to the country, the country, and the country, so naturally we should not be hasty!"
"Since Mr. Shang has already produced a set of regulations, we might as well submit them to His Majesty for review first."
"Well, Lin Xiangyan is right!"
As soon as Lin Qiushi's words fell, he also attracted the support of a group of party members. Shang Yang chuckled and said: "In that case, I would like to trouble Mr. Lin to ask your Majesty to come forward."
"Recently, there are rumors that His Majesty is not in the capital..."
An official suddenly spoke in a low voice. Lin Qiushi's expression suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice, "Who did you hear this from?"
"There have been discussions on the streets for a long time. I'm sorry..."
"Not in the capital..."
Lin Qiushi's eyes suddenly revealed a look of enlightenment. His Majesty, who has always been in good health, was suddenly bedridden for several days. This was obviously extremely unusual. Could he really have sneaked out of the palace?
"This matter is of great importance!"
"Eunuch Wei is guarding the palace gate and no one can see His Majesty. Could it be that..."
All of a sudden, the ministers in the court were talking a lot, and King Qi Lin also showed a look of shock. No wonder his father asked him to supervise the country. Did he have other plans?
"Go and invite Eunuch Wei!"
Shen Li looked worried, and immediately a eunuch went to the harem to invite Wei Ying.
"Eunuch Wei, may your Majesty be in the palace?"
As soon as Wei Ying stepped onto the high platform, he saw him take out a golden imperial edict from his sleeve: "Your Majesty has a decree. I paid a private visit incognito to the south of the Yangtze River a few days ago. I will return soon. All important affairs in the court will be in charge of King Qi Lin. I hereby express my gratitude! "
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
With a cry from the mountain, King Qi Lin's face turned red. This imperial edict was like providing help in the snow!
If there is an imperial decree for this, wouldn't the DPRK just let him have the final say?
…
Southern grasslands.
Barbarian King City.
Wuyou and Aguna stood on the city tower, looking at the fluttering flags below, with a bit of gloom in their eyes.
"National Master, Dali is determined to destroy my city, and now he dares to cut off our water source!"
"As a result, within three days, the city will be short of water!"
There was a sparkle in Wuyou's eyes, and he said softly: "I never thought that Dali would be hidden so deep, and a group of infantrymen would prevent my great cavalry from taking even half a step out of the city!"
"What a Yuannu retinue!"
"Is there any news over there?"
"Let's wait!"
"Are you waiting?"
There was a trace of unwillingness on Aguna's face. Now he had finally gained a foothold in Nanman. No one in the entire court dared to stand against him. But now, Dali's soldiers and horses once again surrounded the imperial city, making him prestige is damaged.
If this continues, within three days, the Man King City will be destroyed without attack!
"Don't worry, you're sure of it."
Wu You seemed to know something, but he didn't say much, looking deeply at the Dali Company Battalion in the distance.
…
"His Majesty!"
"Eight hundred miles from Beijing to expedited!"
"Um?"
Empress Li was dressed in armor and sitting at the head of the military tent. She raised her eyes slightly and said calmly: "But Lingyou rebelled?"
"Your Majesty, do you know?"
"guessed."
Empress Li's face was extremely calm and she said calmly: "How many soldiers and horses?"
"King Lingyou personally led an army of 100,000 people. He raised his troops in the early morning of the day before yesterday. Now he has conquered seven cities and is approaching the king's army. There seems to be some strange movement in Da Yan in the north."
"Da Yan?"
Empress Li's face finally showed a trace of uneasiness. She immediately ordered someone to spread out the map, and after a while, she stared at a point on the map.
Da Yan's movements were somewhat beyond her expectations. The battle at Xuanjian Pass directly damaged Da Yan's southern troops. Now he still has the courage to attack Li again?
"There's another news!"
"explain!"
"There is news from the north that Hu Nu sent envoys to Yan, and it seems that he intends to negotiate peace!"
"boom!"
Empress Li's expression changed instantly. If Da Yan united with Ling You inside and outside, although the matter was difficult, it would not be out of his control. But if Hu Nu and Da Yan negotiated peace, without Hu Nu's restraint, Da Yan country would be completely You can move the troops in the north to the southern front!
Even if it was only half mobilized, it would be more than Da Li could resist.
"snort!"
"If Da Yan dies, my heart will never die!"
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"call!"
Mu Qingcheng breathed out a deep breath, with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes, and then whispered softly: "What a coincidence. From Lingyou's raising of troops to Da Yan's unusual movements, why is there such a coincidence?"
"How could they be so stuck in time?"
"Give me another three days, and the King of Barbarians' City will be destroyed without attack. By then, I, Dali, will control the grassland, and the Southern Barbarians will completely become my Dali's horse farm!"
"But it just so happened that at this time, Lingyou raised his troops and Dayan marched to the south."
Her Majesty the Empress said to herself, and the generals beside her also frowned.
"Your Majesty, could it be that... the Nanman colluded with Da Yan, or even Lingyou?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"
"Then we...retreat?"
Hearing a general's question, Mu Qingcheng clenched his fists tightly, was silent for a long time, and whispered: "Retreat!"
"Retreat in three directions. Even if you leave, you can't go back empty-handed!"
"Yes!"
...
Huainan.
Yongwang Mansion.
Jia Xu and Ning Fan sat opposite each other. Not long after, Chen Gong and Di Renjie also hurried over.
"My lord, is the Jixia Academy in the world?"
"Yes!"
Ning Fan smiled and nodded. Chen Gong and Di Renjie looked at each other and even their breathing became a little hurried. Even Jia Xu, who was always more stable, showed a hint of shock in his eyes.
"Which sage has entered the world!"
"You may as well guess!"
"Could it be Master Meng?"
Ning Fan shook his head and did not continue to keep the secret. He smiled and said: "Xunzi, Shen Buhai, Zou Yan!"
"What!"
"Two famous scholars and one national scholar?"
Hearing Chen Gong's sigh, Ning Fan's face showed a trace of doubt: "Gongtai, what do you mean?"
"Lord!"
"As early as when I was in the capital, I talked with Kong Ming and others. There are countless sages in China, but only a few can be called national scholars, such as Xunzi and Master Dong of the Western Han Dynasty!"
"And Kong Ming classified civil officials into three categories: sages, famous scholars, and national scholars, and above them are saints!"
"Oh?"
Ning Fan's eyes lit up. Before he could speak, he heard a voice in the system: "Bai Qi, Wu Qi, Huo Qubing attribute page unlock permissions, the host can check at any time!"
