Chapter 1535: The Golden Lotus Daoist priest’s embarrassment (1)
Yang Gong and Li Mubai looked at each other. The latter said,
“To be honest, this matter has been bothering me for a long time. I feel that the level of the rebel army in Yunzhou should not be only this. However, in the current situation, it was impossible to take down Qingzhou in a month unless Wei Yuan was alive.
“What do you all think?”
The battlefield was like a chessboard, and it was even more treacherous than a game of chess. Li Mubai and yang Gong, as Grand scholars of Yun Lu Academy, naturally weren’t mediocre and didn’t mind “seeking trouble” for themselves on such a major matter.
Hearing this, all the aides began to speculate.
“In the current situation, it will be extremely difficult for the rebel army of Yunzhou to take down Qingzhou. Would it be … Hmm, they actually had another main force. They had split up to take over other places? On the other hand, Qingzhou is actually trying to mediate with us to hold back the main force of the Imperial court.”
“But it’s meaningless. Attack the other areas separately? Then, it’s difficult for me to make a sound, and it’ll become a desperate weapon that I’ll divide and eat? In the military book written by Xu yinluo, it was said that victory could be achieved by coincidence.
“This is just a surprise attack, and it’s just a surprise.”
“Duke yang, I don’t think it’s strange. It’s not that we overestimate the rebel army of Yunzhou, nor that they are useless. This was the will of the heavens. think about it, if Xu yinluo didn’t invite the elites of the Gu tribe to relieve the pressure on Qingzhou and allow us to catch our breath, we would have been able to mobilize our troops and revive the entire situation. Otherwise, the second line of defense would have collapsed.
“If it weren’t for Xu yinluo’s alliance with the South demon to delay the Western Region’s Allied forces and the Buddhist monk soldiers, the current situation would be that the Imperial court is fighting on two front lines and is unable to reinforce Qingzhou.
therefore, it’s not that the rebel army in Yunzhou is incompetent. There are many paths and schemes, but they have all been neutralized and restrained by Xu yinluo’s operation outside the game.
After some in-depth analysis, even yang Gong and Li Mubai had to admit that this was the most reasonable argument.
The two great Confucians couldn’t think of any other possibility.
After the meeting was over, li Mubai finished drinking the tea in his cup and cupped his hands towards the aide who had suggested “eating people” to solve the food problem of the flying beast Army,
“Brother lingzhan, may I have a word?”
The goateed advisor stood up and left with li Mubai.
The two of them left the main hall and walked towards the office of the chief administrator. Li Mubai suddenly said,
“There’s something I’d like to trouble brother lingzhan with.”
“Brother Chunjing, if you have something to say, please speak frankly,” the advisor cupped his hands.
Li Mubai nodded,
“I hope that brother lingzhan can write a letter to Songshan County and tell Xu cijiu that unusual times call for unusual things. But not in the name of Duke yang.”
The aide suddenly understood and said in a deep voice,
“I understand.”
………..
Beijing, temple of God.
On a quiet afternoon, Emperor Yongxing woke up on the Dragon bed. He was refreshed and had not had a good sleep for a long time.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to summon the seal bearer eunuch Zhao xuanzhen and order, ”
“I remember that the Spring Festival is in a month.
“Inform the court of judicial review to make it Grand. I want to offer a proper sacrifice to my ancestors and the heavens.”
After the spring sacrifice, spring would return to the earth.
This cold disaster that had almost destroyed Da Feng had finally reached the end of its power.
When the season of recovery arrived, first of all, the cold could no longer threaten the people. Second, even if there was still a shortage of food, there were mountains and fields everywhere. If one walked around the mountains and dug the ground, they would always be able to find something to eat.
A few days ago, during the discussion in the Royal study, the officials had analyzed the situation in Qingzhou and unanimously agreed that the rebel army in Yunzhou would not be able to take down Qingzhou before the Spring Festival.
According to the difference in the foundation of the two sides, the Yunzhou rebel Army’s morale would be exhausted again and again. The more they fought, the more tired they would be. A raging fire that was about to start a Prairie Fire would gradually become low until it was extinguished.
In recent days, the heavy atmosphere in the capital city had melted like an Ice River, and it was suddenly relaxed.
The cabinet issued three notices in a row to encourage the people.
Just as Zhao xuanzhen was about to leave and pass on the message, Emperor Yongxing waved his hand again and said,
“Forget it, I’ll directly summon all of you to the Imperial study to discuss matters.”
“Let’s continue discussing the situation in Qingzhou,” he said with a smile.
…………
In Feng Qi Palace, huaiqing led two of his palace maids and stepped into this cold and quiet Palace that countless women in the harem dreamed of.
The charcoal fire was blazing, and the curtains were hanging down. The beautiful Empress Dowager was sitting behind the table, eating the cakes she had made, holding a book, and reading quietly.
“Mother!”
Huaiqing bowed coldly.
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, not much more enthusiastic than her daughter. She said, ”
“A few days ago, His Majesty bestowed a marriage for Lin an and Xu yinluo.
“Bengong suddenly remembered that in the past I had neglected your marriage. When the previous emperor was still alive, it was still acceptable for you all to treat each other as daughters.
“Now that the new ruler has ascended the throne, your seniority has been raised. It is not appropriate to continue to stay in the boudoir.
“I called you over today to ask if huaiqing has someone he likes?”
Huaiqing laughed. It was hard to tell if he was mocking or disdainful. He said indifferently,
“Mother need not worry about the child’s marriage. If he meets a good man, he will naturally marry.”
The Empress Dowager didn’t insist and nodded.
“You may leave.”
Huai Qing bowed and left Feng Qi Palace with the palace maids.
