Seemingly seeing the concerns of the officials, Li Xiu smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, dear friends, since General Xiang Yu said ten days, then it will be ten days, and the ten days haven't come yet, so why worry about it."
"What's more, it will take a day or two for the army to deliver the news. It is estimated that General Xiang's good news will be sent back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
He said that he won it within ten days, and a normal person would know that this thing must be bragging. Your Majesty, you really believe it!
Look at Li Xiu's 100% trust in Xiang Yu.
All the officials shook their heads secretly.
I don't know what ecstasy soup that Xiang Yu gave His Majesty to make His Majesty trust him so much!
That Xiang Yu is a pure reckless man!
At this moment, a figure quietly walked in from outside the hall.
It was Cao Zhengchun.
"Eunuch Cao is back."
The corner of Li Xiu's mouth suddenly curled up, "How about going to Hedong?"
"Hedong?"
Hearing the word Hedong, the officials immediately became interested, staring straight at Cao Zhengchun, "Eunuch Cao went to Hedong?"
"good."
Cao Zhengchun nodded slightly, "The miscellaneous family is ordered by His Majesty to go to Hedong to investigate the Moon Worship Demon Sect."
The Moon Worship Demon Cult?
What is that?
But that's not the point.
The Secretary of the Ministry of War looked at Cao Zhengchun and asked cautiously: "Eunuch Cao, I don't know how the battle in Hedong is going?"
The other courtiers also stared at Cao Zhengchun one after another, their hearts hanging in vain.
"The battle in the east of the river is over."
Cao Zhengchun said calmly.
It's over, so soon?
Suddenly, there was a bad premonition in the hearts of the officials.
Xiang Yu, the whole army must have been wiped out, right?
The Ministry of War still writes as if dead.
No one would think that Xiang Yu was able to overthrow the Hedong Township with a total of 30 soldiers in just nine days!
But the Minister of the Ministry of War still took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "Our army won...won?"
Cao Zhengchun didn't speak immediately, but asked Li Xiu on the Dragon Throne for instructions.
Li Xiu waved her hand casually, "Let's announce Ai Qing in this court hall, so that the officials will not be terrified every day and feel unwilling to eat."
"According to the order."
Cao Zhengchun clasped his fists together, and immediately looked around all the court officials, and then said loudly: "In the Battle of Hedong, our army... won a complete victory!"
"Hedong Jiedu made Yang Ling die in battle! Most of the 30 Hedong troops under his command surrendered!"
"The land east of the river is already owned by the imperial court!"
Every single word, like thunder, reverberates in this Golden Luan Hall, deafening!
When the voice fell, the court shook!
All civil and military officials feel like they are dreaming.
He actually won!
And it was a hearty victory!
One hundred thousand against three hundred thousand, this feather actually wiped out the Hedong town within ten days!
Such a record can be called a legend!
"General Xiang wins more with less, he is really a famous general through the ages!"
Minister of the Ministry of War praised.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty!"
All the officials knelt down on the ground, and the crowd was excited!
In this battle, although Xiang Yu won more with less and created a miracle, but if His Majesty hadn't resisted all opinions and boldly appointed Xiang Yu as commander, where would this great victory come from?
Therefore, in the final analysis, it is His Majesty's wisdom!
Your Majesty, you really deserve to be the Lord of Zhongxing of their Great Tang Dynasty!
"Xiang Yu broke through the east of the river, wiped out the traitor Yang Ling, and regained the land of the east of the river for the court. This is a great achievement."
Li Xiu on the dragon chair is also Longyan Joy at this time.
Although he had expected that Xiang Yu would definitely win this battle, he still did not expect that Xiang Yu would win so beautifully.
With almost no loss, he took down the seemingly powerful Hedong Township and surrendered 30 rebels!
"According to my will, Xiang Yu, the Great General of Conquering the East, has made great achievements in beating the thieves, and he will be bestowed with the title of the king, and he will be named the Overlord!"
Li Xiu's words spread in the hall and immediately caused an uproar.
All the officials looked at Li Xiu in disbelief.
Overlord?
Your Majesty, is this planning to make Xiang Yu a king with a different surname?
"Your Majesty! Conferring a king with a different surname is the way to create chaos!"
The Minister of Rites hurriedly stood up, "I implore Your Majesty to take it back!"
"That's right, Your Majesty, Xiang Yu is leading an army outside. He already has a lot of troops in his hands. If he is crowned king again, there is no guarantee that he will not have a different heart."
"I feel that it is more than enough to confer the title of Marquis, and it is really unnecessary to confer the title of King!"
"Please, Your Majesty, think twice!"
"..."
All the ministers came to remonstrate one after another.
Reward the meritorious officials, they will not object.
But to confer Xiang Yu as Overlord is too big a matter, and they absolutely cannot agree to it!
However, Li Xiu was indifferent, "I made Xiang Yu the Overlord, in order to strengthen his reputation and make all the governors in the world afraid of Xiang Yu."
"From now on, Overlord Xiang Yu will become their nightmare and become the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads."
"The destruction of the Hedong town is just the beginning. I will wipe out all the towns in the world, and let me return to the unity of the Tang Dynasty!"
Sweep away the feudal towns all over the world!
Let the Tang Dynasty return to unity!
All the court officials were shocked by Li Xiu's rhetoric.
They understood what His Majesty meant.
Xiang Yu is just a weapon in the hands of His Majesty, a sword used to calm the world!
However, His Majesty is not worried at all, will this sword bite back at its master?
However, they didn't know that Xiang Yu was a character summoned by Li Xiu from the system, and he was 100% loyal to Li Xiu. How could he betray Li Xiu?
The so-called way of enshrining kings with different surnames and taking chaos will never happen with Li Xiu.
Chapter 21 Concubine, willing to be loyal to His Majesty
Royal study.
Cao Zhengchun walked in and saluted Li Xiu.
Li Xiu waved his hand and cut straight to the point, "How is the matter with the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult going?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this old slave is incompetent. He was poisoned by the woman of the Moon Worshiping Demon Sect and committed suicide. He failed to bring her back. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Cao Zhengchun said in a deep voice.
"Oh?"
Li Xiu raised her eyebrows, "There is something that you Cao Zhengchun failed to do. It seems that I have underestimated the Moon Worshiping Demon Cult."
For Li Xiu, although the Great Tang feudal towns were extremely harmful, they were all in the open, while the martial arts sects were all lurking in the dark, and the imperial court knew very little about them. This was the tricky part.
"Since the clues are broken, we can only start with that woman now."
Li Xiu rubbed her chin, then walked outside the imperial study, "Let's go, Cao Aiqing."
"Take me to the Dongchang Dungeon, I want to visit the 'Queen Mother'!"
"According to the order."
Cao Zhengchun's eyes lit up, and he followed quickly.
East factory, dungeon.
This is where Dongchang detains serious offenders.
In the dungeon, there is a cold and damp smell everywhere, and screams can be heard from time to time.
Shangguan Xianyan was imprisoned in the deepest part of the dungeon.
Seeing Li Xiu and Cao Zhengchun coming, Shangguan Xianyan's expression also changed slightly.
From the first moment she was imprisoned in the Dongchang dungeon, Shangguan Xianyan was mentally prepared to die at any time.
She knew that if she failed to assassinate Li Xiu, it was impossible for her to survive.
And Dongchang couldn't get any valuable information from her mouth, so what's the use of saving her life?
It seemed that today was the day of her death.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xianyan's pretty face suddenly turned a little pale.
Although she was not afraid of death, after being imprisoned in this dark dungeon by Cao Zhengchun for a long time, she was inevitably shaken.
"Tsk tsk."
Li Xiu came in front of Shangguan Xianyan, stretched out her finger, and lifted Shangguan Xianyan's snow-white chin, then shook her head and said: "It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman who is so beautiful is killed like this. "
Shangguan Xianyan swept away Li Xiu's hand, and said coldly: "Li Xiu, he's a man, just hurry up and kill me."
"You think I don't want to kill you?"
Li Xiu sneered, "Killing is nothing more than a nod. The reason why I have kept you until now is because you are still so useful to me."
"I'm here this time to give you one last chance."
"No need."
Shangguan Xianyan directly refused, "I just want to die."
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse."
Li Xiu smiled and said, "I'll show you something, after you've seen it, it's not too late to make a decision."
Immediately, Cao Zhengchun on the side clapped his hands, and two guards from the East Factory dragged a cold female corpse in, and threw it in front of Shangguan Xianyan.
"Elder Lianyue?!"
Seeing the appearance of the female corpse clearly, Shangguan Xianyan was taken aback, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"how is this possible?"
Elder Lianyue, shouldn't he be in the land of Hedong, assisting Yang Ling, the Jiedu envoy of Hedong?
How could he die in the hands of Emperor Tang?
Doesn't that mean that Yang Ling is probably already in danger...
