Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong casually flipped through the memorials, laughing uncontrollably.

Xiao Xuexing who was sitting next to him couldn't stand it anymore: "Okay, stop laughing, if you had explained it to them back then, would it be like this?"

If you insist on playing riddles, it’s all right now, this Xiren is as if he has been beaten with chicken blood, and he has all the generals on the front line on one side, and Ling Fu and Jing Shi are simply the most shining targets among them.

Xiao Zirong smiled triumphantly: "I just like to see their faces that have never seen the world."

The corner of Xiao Xuexing's mouth twitched, it was rare to have some sympathy for these people.

In the past, he also felt that these people were annoying, but it was difficult to deal with them. Xiao Zirong had complained about them before, and Xiao Xuexing didn't feel at ease, but now it seemed that Xiao Zirong was really at ease.

This group of people was going to be hit when they first came to power, and I don't know if there will be a wave of people who can't stand such a stimulus and resign directly after this time.

Xiao Zirong flipped through two more memorials and said, "Well, these two people still have some brains, and I suspect that the orderly made a mistake."

After all, the result of this battle is really amazing. Everyone's first reaction is to think that the front line is lying about military achievements.

Those who have no brains just say so directly, and those who have brains say that there is a misunderstanding.

After all, although Jing Shi was not well-known, this was his first expedition, but Ling Fu followed Xiao Xuexing to many places in the South and North Wars, how could he make such a mistake?

But I don't know what's tricky in the middle, so I let Yan investigate.

First of all, the speed of the thirteen cities is faster than that of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which makes people feel incredible, and it can even be said to be completely impossible.

The second is the battle damage. Even if they really divide their troops into thirteen routes and take down thirteen cities, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

People in the Northern Wei Dynasty would not sit there and wait to be beaten by you. Are you insulting our IQ with such a small battle loss?

These excerpts are basically the same, what makes Xiao Zirong more satisfied is that everyone is more pragmatic, no one came up and clamored to send Ling Fu and Jing Shi to prison, but let them suspend their jobs first to accept investigation.

It's okay, not stupid.

Moreover, almost none of the first, second and third rank officials moved, most of them were fourth rank.

The fourth-rank officials are naturally something to look up to when they are placed among ordinary people, but they are not so important in the court.

In an intermediate position, just qualified to be on Datianting, but not so high in weight.

Most of the fourth ranks are thugs of some big bosses.

Xiao Zirong pushed the memorial and said: "Okay, take it down and prepare it for fire."

Xiao Xuexing couldn't hold back and patted his forehead: "It's messing around again."

The memorial must be archived regardless of whether it is approved or not. It can be regarded as an expression of the emperor's emphasis on scholar-bureaucrats.

Xiao Zirong said: "Wait for two days, I think Ling Fu and the others should still bring us good news."

When the news came, it happened to be the first court, the next day was the rest day, and the third day was the grand court meeting.

It is equivalent to these people who have not received a response from the emperor for two days, and they are all gearing up to present the facts and reason with the emperor at the great court meeting.

No way, everyone has been trying to be more active recently. If the emperor doesn't realize that he is useful, what if he is dismissed?

Recently, it has been rumored that the emperor will also adjust the official system while rectifying the administration of officials. At that time, many official systems will be streamlined. Isn't everyone in danger?

Because the important things are generally put at the end, so when everyone went to court, they reported some less important things first, basically telling the emperor: You are optimistic, we have done something.

Xiao Zirong listened boredly, and at the end, a censor stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I want to participate in the conquest of Bei General and General Yunqi, who lied about the military situation and pretended to be leaders of the army. According to the law, they should be executed as a warning to others. "

General Zhengbei is Ling Fu, and General Yunqi is naturally Jing Shi.

After the censor finished speaking, there was silence in the court, and no one spoke for the two of them.

Xiao Xuexing had already told his people to be safe and not to be impatient, and there was no need to stand out.

And Xiao Zirong... Most of Xiao Zirong's manpower is still in Jinling, and he can't transfer it, and he doesn't really want to transfer it.

Except for Xiao Xuexing's people, everyone else's attitude was rather ambiguous, especially those bigwigs in the military.

Although the General and the others should be on the same line as Ling Fu, they are actually the ones who most hope that something will happen between Ling Fu and Jing Shi.

Originally, when the Northern Wei Dynasty came to fight, they were all eagerly waiting to go to the battlefield, thinking that they finally had a chance to make meritorious service.

In particular, I believe that the emperor's attitude towards them has always been good. They have been suspended for too long, and they have ushered in a chance to turn around.

In the end, I didn't expect that the emperor's attitude towards them was good, but he was merciless in cultivating his own people.

Forget about Ling Fu, he is indeed a man of great military exploits. Although he has been following the regent and looks inconspicuous, he can still shock one side if he is taken out.

Jing Shi why?Especially when they heard that when the King of Jinling first arrived in Jinling, Jing Shi brought people to find the King of Jinling, but later he was beaten up by the King of Jinling, so he followed the King of Jinling a little bit. up.

He hasn't built an inch of merit, so why should he take the lead and follow Ling Fu to fight the Northern Wei Dynasty?

Shouldn't experienced veterans like them go to such an important matter as fighting the Northern Wei Dynasty?

Fortunately, Xiao Zirong didn't count on these generals from the beginning, but felt that these people have stayed in the maelstrom of Jiankang for so long, and each of them is so naive, they deserve to be excluded. If he meets such a person, It will not be soft.

Xiao Zirong had already prepared the combined punches, and was waiting for these people to jump out. Now that Yu Shi had jumped out, he could do it.

He asked curiously: "The frontline has its own surveillance, and the surveillance has never said anything. Why do you dare to say that the frontline lied about the military situation and pretended to be a military leader?"

The censor is also a rich man, of course, it is also possible that he is just someone's spokesperson.

Anyway, when the emperor asked, he opened his mouth and reported a series of data. Those data are the data of the wars between Qi State and the Northern Wei Dynasty in these years. There have been victories and losses in these years. In fact, in the previous period, they lost more times. , that is to say, it is only in these years that they start to win.

The key point is the battle damage, regardless of whether you win or lose, the battle damage is all within a certain range, and this time the data has reached the point of magic, so naturally some people will not believe it.

Xiao Zirong nodded and asked: "Since you have said that this statistic is exaggerated, do you think General Zhengbei and the others have no brains to tell such a big lie?"

Of course, everyone didn't believe that Ling Fu would do this, after all he had been with Xiao Xuexing for so many years, it was true that he was a bit naive, but it didn't mean that he didn't have a heart.

The censor said solemnly: "I suspect that General Zhengbei used a trick to deceive the world!"

Xiao Zirong leaned back slightly and said with a smile, "Tell me, how can you hide from the world."

"I suspect that General Zhengbei captured the Han people of the Northern Wei Dynasty and put them into the army, pretending to be military households!"

Although the Northern Wei Dynasty was an enemy country and a foreign race, most of the people living there were Han Chinese, and they were no different from them.

So if these people are thrown into the army, they may not be able to tell the difference.

Wouldn't the battle damage come down like this?They dared to pass on the good news, which meant that the top and bottom were in order, and there would be no leaks, so they didn't have to worry about being exposed.

Looking at the censor, Xiao Zirong couldn't help but said with emotion: "This is really a road I have never thought of."

The censor's eyes lit up, but the emperor didn't expect it. Doesn't this mean that his angle was unexpected?

Xiao Zirong turned his head to look at Xiao Yan who had been setting up by the side and said to Chai He: "The Prime Minister and Shang Shuling also talk about it, do you think there is such a possibility?"

Xiao Yan and Chai He looked at each other, moved slightly and said, "It's absolutely impossible."

Xiao Yan's attitude surprised all the court officials.

Xiao Zirong leaned on the armrest, put his hand on his chin and said, "Well, everyone seems very surprised, the prime minister will explain why it is impossible."

Xiao Yan said helplessly: "This expedition is mainly based on the Jinling Guard and the Xuezi Battalion. I had the honor to go to Jinling to watch the military parade with the Supreme Emperor. Whether it is the Jinling Guard or the Xuezi Battalion, their energy is far superior to that of ordinary people. , not just anyone can impersonate."

Xiao Zirong looked around, not surprised by those who showed puzzled expressions.

Today is the Grand Court Meeting, and even the sixth-rank officials can get a seat at the door, but Xiao Xuan didn’t bring so many people with him when he traveled, so he chose a few, so only the second-rank and above have seen the military parade of the Jinling Mausoleum. The next estimate does not know what Jinlingwei looks like.

Just as he was about to say something, Huang Men bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the good news from the front line has arrived in Beijing."

It came so quickly, he thought he would have to wait a little longer, but Ling Fu and Jing Shi were up to par.

The smile on Xiao Zirong's face deepened and he said, "Report it."

This time the victory was less exaggerated than last time, that is, three cities were captured, but a general of high rank was captured.

Similarly, the battle damage is still very low, but this time there is an extra damaged artillery.

Xiao Zirong was not surprised, but felt that the safety factor of the artillery still needs to be improved.

Xiao Zirong patted the armrest of the throne and said, "Even if Ling Fu dared to lie once, he would not dare to come a second time, what do you think?"

What else?Everyone was stunned, they even wondered if the emperor taught Ling Fu the magic of immortality, even if he didn't teach him, he might have given him a talisman or something.

You must know that when Heda Taylor came back with the emperor who was still the king of Jinling at that time, he wanted this majesty to be a witch for them, which showed that his majesty might really know witchcraft!

After thinking about it, Xiao Zirong knew what these people might be thinking, and said directly: "Although some Jinling Guards went to the battlefield, there are quite a few who stayed. See what the Jinling Guard looks like."
