Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Chapter 516 Let him be anxious for a while!

When Marquis Liyang entered the capital, it was already the end of the Youshi period.

It gets dark early in autumn and winter. Under the dark gray sky, the palace wall stands in front like a dark monster.

Marquis Chuge of Liyang, wearing a dark cloak, got off his horse in a dusty state. The eunuch behind him who delivered the order rolled down from his horse and stumbled to take pictures of the palace gate.

The palace door immediately reopened a crack, and the guard guarding the door said anxiously: "Is the Marquis back? Your Majesty has been waiting impatiently. He has sent people to ask several times."

The eunuch who delivered the order showed the certificate for entering and exiting the palace, and Marquis Liyang glanced at the guard soldier who opened the door.

The soldier immediately knelt down and saluted: "Zhang Chong, the right army of the Imperial Guard, Shenwu Camp, comes to see the Marquis."

Chu Ge just thought that the soldier looked familiar and took a second look, but had no other meaning.

Seeing Zhang Chong salute, he stopped.

The eunuch delivering the order on the side shouted urgently: "Master Marquis, hurry up, don't keep your majesty waiting."

Marquis Liyang guessed why the emperor was so anxious, and he also received a message from Chu Tianjiao on the way.

He was actually anxious, but in his opinion, there was no point in entering the palace. In the face of a powerful enemy, what else could Lu Yunkui, an incompetent emperor, do besides looking at him blindly?

They don’t provide food or soldiers, and they usually clamor for disarmament. Even if the soldiers eat an extra grain of food, they think it is a waste.

When the war came, he was panicked and had no idea.

Just let him panic for a while!

Marquis Liyang slowly asked who Zhang Chong's family was, how many years he had been in the Imperial Guard, and how the Imperial Guard's treatment was, and how much military pay was delayed.

Zhang Chong was flattered by the cordial inquiry from the idol. If it weren't for the eunuchs who had delivered the order, they would have knelt down in front of Marquis Liyang. Marquis Liyang would have been able to ask what Shenwuying had eaten tonight.

Upon hearing that Marquis Liyang had entered the palace, Lu Yunkui immediately went to the imperial study.

The prince Lu Yuanqing did not dare to return to the East Palace at all, and kept waiting in the imperial study room.

Also waiting anxiously in the imperial study were Prime Minister Wang and various ministers.

These people were all urgently recruited into the palace by Lu Yunkui to discuss countermeasures.

After deliberation all afternoon, there was no result. Lu Yunkui was in low spirits and had just returned to the harem to have dinner and rest for a while.

The others could only continue to stay in the Imperial Study Room, waiting for Marquis Li Yang.

Everyone was looking forward to it, and finally waited until Marquis Liyang arrived belatedly.

"Chu Aiqing, please get up quickly and come and take a look. This is an urgent report from Northwest today."

Marquis Liyang received Chu Yan's memorial. He had also received a copy of the above content, but he still pretended to be surprised.

"His Majesty just issued an order not long ago to reprimand us and not to threaten favors with war. What kind of scouts did Chu Yan send to Bayanhot to investigate? He also sent Prince Ning to go there in person. Wait until Ashina Tuobao's troops arrive at the city, and then report again It is your duty as a minister to report to the imperial court!"

Lu Yunkui had indeed warned Marquis Liyang not long ago to threaten him with war. Chu Ge's words were obviously a naked slap in his face.

The other ministers in the Imperial Study Room all lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word. Only Ye Linxuan looked like a loyal protector and jumped out, scolding Marquis Liyang:

"Master Marquis, what do you mean? Do you dare to feel resentful because His Majesty rebuked you?"

Even if the king is wrong, the ministers should not be resentful. This is the way to be a minister.

Ye Linxuan was scolding Marquis Liyang for his disobedience.

Of course, Marquis Liyang would not be fooled by him. He put on a frightened look and said to the emperor:

"Wei Chen only regards His Majesty's imperial edict as a golden rule.

From now on, I will strictly control my younger brother so that he cannot predict the enemy ahead of him, lest the traitors in the court whisper in His Majesty's ears that our Chu family is using war to extort favors. "

The emperor's face was burning with pain, but he did not dare to get angry at this time. He also disliked Ye Linxuan for being nosy, so he glared at Ye Linxuan and scolded him to retreat.

Ye Linxuan slapped the horse's leg flatteringly and stepped aside angrily.

The emperor felt heartbroken when he saw the submissive look of Marquis Liyang, standing bowed under the imperial desk.

He didn't need a submissive minister at this time. He would rather Marquis Liyang tell him in high spirits that the Chu family could withstand Ashina Tubo's [-]-strong army.

In order to frighten Marquis Liyang, Lu Yunkui had no choice but to explain:

"Chu Aiqing, I was ill a few days ago, and the memorials were approved by the prince. The prince has just taken up political affairs and has no experience. Don't anger him!"

"The scapegoat" Lu Yuanqing was dumbfounded and did not dare to defend himself, so he had to bow and apologize to Marquis Li Yang with a red face.

Of course Liyang Hou knew that the emperor was trying to shift the blame, but he stopped when he saw fit and did not criticize him. Instead, he raised his hands to support Lu Yuanqing's clasped hands.

"Prince, there is no need to be polite!"

After Li Yanghou helped Lu Yuanqing up, he handed the memorial to Lu Yuanqing and stopped talking.

Prime Minister Wang saw that the atmosphere was awkward, so he had no choice but to come out to smooth things over.

He tugged on the sleeve of Marquis Li Yang and asked: "Master Marquis, you have also read the military report. According to your last military report, it seems that you and Mr. Xiao Chu must have anticipated Xirong's movements. You must We have a plan, let's talk about it... You see, our group of people have been discussing here all afternoon, and we are just waiting for you to speak."

Prime Minister Wang's face is not easy for Marquis Liyang to offend.

He then took out his hand in his sleeve, turned around and asked the prince: "Since it is the prince's previous memorial that he reviewed, do you still remember the contents of the memorial?"

Lu Yuanqing had indeed read the memorial. At that time, he also wanted to persuade the emperor, but the emperor was angry. Unless it was impossible for Xirong and Beihu to raise more troops, he did not dare to persuade him again.

"I remember that the Marquis said in the memorial that Xirong will definitely march south this winter, and he is worried that Beihu is about to make a move, so he mobilized [-] soldiers from the Xishan Camp to garrison Yanmen Pass, and recruited [-] troops from across the country to strengthen the northwest defense line."

As soon as Lu Yuanqing finished speaking, Lu Yunkui said eagerly: "I'm sure! Just do as you say, Chu Aiqing."

Marquis Liyang and other ministers all frowned. Although they had different thoughts, they all felt that the emperor's decision was too hasty.

Zhou Changan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, we have to recruit [-] troops, but the national treasury cannot provide that much food and salary!"

Cui GUI, the Minister of War, held the opposite opinion and said: "Your Majesty, it has been determined that Xirong will send troops this time, at least [-] troops. There are only [-] troops stationed in the northwest. Even if [-] troops are recruited, it will not be enough!"

Besides, the newly recruited soldiers, without training, were brought to the battlefield to deal with the Xirong people, and they would just give away their heads. "

The royal study suddenly became noisy.

Lu Yunkui's illness was that the most intolerable thing was noise. He picked up the dragon's head paperweight on the imperial desk, slapped it on the imperial desk, and shouted: "Shut up!"

There was sudden silence in the imperial study room.

Lu Yunkui rubbed his temples, endured his headache, and said feebly: "Chu Aiqing, tell me!"
