After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

The memorial said that he wanted to request rewards for the soldiers who died in that battle.

This is a very valid reason.

This step has been taken every time we won a battle.

But, isn’t Yunzhou’s list a bit too long this time?

In the court, the civil and military officials looked at the densely packed list of names with their eyes almost popping out.

Someone came closer to take a look and exclaimed, "What the hell? An old lady selling tofu is asking for a reward?!"

"What? Let me see!" A muscular military officer squeezed in, muttering, "I was wondering, there are too many soldiers sacrificed! I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out."

If you spread out this list, it would be long enough to reach outside the palace.

There were many curious officials, and basically everyone could see one or two.

"What?! Embroiderer?! Isn't this nonsense? How can a woman receive a reward?"

"What's that? Even the name of the actor is on it!"

"Oh my god, no wonder Duke Yun wants to target Shuozhou! Just looking at this list, it's clearly asking for too much, who would approve it?!"

"Duke Yun is really going too far! Did she think the money in the treasury was blown in by the wind? Why didn't she also write down the names of the beggars in Yunzhou City?"

The veins on Lord Li's forehead were throbbing. It was really annoying. The officials kept doing these outrageous things, and Gu Nanxi didn't learn her lesson either!

It is the government's fault that it did not bestow rewards in time.

Gu Nanxi couldn't deliberately hand in such a list just to take revenge on the government!

They actually threatened to mobilize troops, isn't this ridiculous? !

Master Tong looked at the list carefully. The handwriting was a little sloppy and there were traces of blood in some places.

It seems that even through this list, one can feel the smoke of war in Yunzhou.

Master Tong's heart was moved, and he inexplicably felt that this time, Gu Nanxi seemed serious.

Both civil and military officials were amused by the list.

"Your Majesty, you must not approve this list! Actors, prostitutes, peddlers, and hawkers are all on the list. What do you think of our court's reward?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. If we open this door today, won't we have to give these rewards to the commander whenever he asks for them in the future?"

"Look at what's written here? Five sisters, armed with spears, fought with the Tartars in the streets, and many died in the battle. Granny Douhua died together with the Tartars while defending the city gate... My God, this is too exaggerated! Not even a storybook would dare to write this!"

"Duke Yun could even make up such a lie in order to appease the people of Yunzhou. It really leaves me speechless."

"All people are like cattle and horses. Has anyone ever seen cattle and horses take the initiative to protect their masters?!"

The young emperor also felt that Gu Nanxi was asking for too much and was deliberately asking him for money.

I didn't expect that Gu Nanxi, who used to regard money as dirt, would one day value money so much!

Perhaps this is her true nature.

Well, it can let the world see her true face of being despicable, lying and extremely greedy!

Just when the civil and military officials were filled with righteous indignation and criticized Gu Nanxi harshly, a messenger from Shuozhou brought urgent military information from eight hundred miles away.

When this news came, the entire hall seemed to have stopped in time, and no one knew what expression to make.

He was criticizing with saliva flying just now, and the next second he felt cold all over.

The emotions changed so quickly that the muscles on his face could not be controlled for a moment, making everyone in the hall look like puppets with extremely strange expressions.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Master Tong asked weakly, "What you meant just now is that Duke Yun has taken over the entire Shuozhou?"

The messenger didn't even dare to raise his head, and said timidly, "Yes."

boom!

The civil and military officials were sure that they had not heard wrongly and were not dreaming, and it was difficult for them to accept this reality for a while.

"How is that possible? How long did it take Gu Nanxi to capture it? Were you delayed on the way?!"

Delaying military orders will result in a beating.

The messenger shook his head repeatedly: "No! It's really none of our business! It took Duke Yun two and a half days to capture it."

It wasn't just two and a half days at all; it was clear that the outcome was decided in less than half a day.

The rest of the time was spent cleaning the battlefield and sending soldiers to guard the food and grass.

The young emperor's eyes went dark, and he fell back onto the dragon throne, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Didn't your Shuozhou Sima send out troops?"

The messenger wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a sad face: "I went out, but I didn't make it in time."

"What do you mean by missed?"

The messenger felt as if his body was about to burn from being stabbed by countless gazes.

"Duke Yun is too fast, we can't catch up with him!"

The Minister of War's scalp tightened when he thought about Shuozhou being taken by Yun State, and that they could target Kyoto in just a few states. "Where are the Yan family? Did the local tyrants in Shuozhou just watch Gu Nanxi take Shuozhou?!"

The messenger felt the oppressive atmosphere in the court, and trembled all over, his teeth chattering: "They tried to stop it, but failed! Duke Yun wiped out nine powerful families in one day. The last remaining family, the Qian family, surrendered on their own."

Why does this record sound so unreal?

Everyone was in a trance.

Is Yunzhou's fighting power so strong?! Didn't they just come down from the battlefield?!

Master Tong calmed down and continued to ask, "What is the situation in Shuozhou now?"

The messenger hesitated and said, "It's... it's good. I came out to deliver the message, and no one stopped me. Farmers farm, and businessmen do business, just like before."

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Lord Li has been an official for so many years and has experienced rebellions before.

In the past few years, militias broke out in Hezhong County and Henan County. How miserable were the people's lives? !

It would have been bad enough if they had just lacked food and clothing, but those rebellious soldiers committed all kinds of evil, such as burning, killing, looting, and so on.

Even though Gu Nanxi has strict military discipline, he can't stop his men from looting money and property!

Li Ge Lao narrowed his eyes and asked: "Is there really no difference at all? Tell the truth!"

The messenger racked his brains and said weakly, "If you have to say what the difference is, it's probably that the public security is much better. There are no more hooligans on the streets."

This is really heartbreaking!

Everyone was speechless.

The young emperor held onto his last glimmer of hope and asked, "Has Duke Yun returned to Yunzhou?"

Grand Tutor Tong looked at the young emperor as if he were a fool.

Why did Gu Nanxi want to go back? !

The messenger shattered the young emperor's fantasy: "No. Duke Yun said that we should wait until the governor of Shuozhou sent by the emperor arrives in Shuozhou before deciding whether to stay or go."

Everyone present understood that Duke Yun had tricked the young emperor again!

Does His Majesty dare to send a new governor of Shuozhou? If he dares, if the new governor is killed by Gu Nanxi, wouldn't His Majesty's face be trampled under her feet again?

If I don't dare, it seems that I can't save my face...
