Chapter 546? !
The memorial said that he wanted to ask for a reward for the soldiers who died in that war.
This is a very valid reason.
In the past, every time we won a battle, we would go through this step.
However, is Yunzhou’s list a bit too big this time?
In the court hall, the civil and military officials looked at the dense series of names, and their eyes almost went straight.
Someone took a closer look and exclaimed: "What the hell? An old woman selling tofu wants a reward?!"
"What? Let me see!" A strong military attache squeezed in and muttered, "I'm still wondering, there are too many soldiers sacrificed! I'm afraid the whole army will be annihilated."
Spreading out this list is enough to reach outside the temple.
There are many curious officials, and they can basically see something.
"What?! Xiu Niang?! Isn't this nonsense? How can any woman be rewarded!"
"What do you mean? You even mentioned the actor's name!"
"My dear mother, no wonder Duke Yun wants to point his sword at Shuozhou! This list is clearly like a lion's mouth. Who will approve it?!"
"Gong Guo Yun really went too far! Is it possible that the money in the treasury was blown by strong winds? Why didn't she also write down the names of the beggars in Yunzhou City?"
The veins on Mr. Li Ge's forehead were popping up and down. It was really bad. The officialdom was constantly doing tricks, and Gu Nanxi didn't learn it well either!
It's the official's fault if they didn't award the reward in time.
Gu Nanxi couldn't deliberately hand over such a list just to take revenge on the officials!
He actually threatened to mobilize troops. Isn't this nonsense? !
Master Tong looked at the list carefully. The handwriting on it was a little scrawled, and some places were stained with blood.
It seems that even through this list, one can feel the flames of war in Yunzhou.
Grand Master Tong was moved in his heart. He felt inexplicably that this time, Gu Nanxi seemed to be serious.
Both civil servants and military attachés laughed angrily at the list.
"Your Majesty, you must not approve this list! Actors, prostitutes, traffickers and pawns are all listed. What do you think of the rewards from our court?"
"That's right, Your Majesty, if this opening is made today, wouldn't it mean that if the general reaches out to ask for these rewards in the future, we will have to give them?"
"Look what's written here? The five sisters fought with the Tatars in the streets with spears and died in battle. Granny Douhua died guarding the city gate and died together with the Tatars... Oh my God, this is too exaggerated! I don’t even dare to write like this in my script!”
"In order to appease the people of Yunzhou, Duke Yun could even make up such lies. It's really speechless."
"All peoples are like oxen and horses. Who has ever seen an oxen and a horse take the initiative to protect its master?!"
The young emperor also felt that Gu Nanxi was deliberately asking for money from him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Nanxi, who regarded money as dirt back then, would one day value money so much!
Perhaps, this is her true nature.
It's good that the world can see her true face of being despicable, lying, and extremely greedy!
Just when the civil and military officials were filled with indignation and criticized Gu Nanxi to the bone, the messenger from Shuozhou brought another urgent military situation from eight hundred miles away.
When this news came, the entire hall seemed to have paused time, and everyone didn't know what expression to put on.
Just a moment ago he was spitting criticism, but the next second he felt cold all over his body.
His emotions changed so quickly that he couldn't control the muscles on his face for a moment, making everyone in the hall look like puppets with extremely weird expressions. I don’t know how much time passed before Grand Master Tong asked weakly: “What did you mean just now that Duke Yun Guo occupied the entire Shuozhou?”
The messenger didn't dare to raise his head, and said timidly: "Yes."
boom!
The civil and military officials were sure that they heard correctly and were not dreaming. It was difficult to accept this reality for a while.
"How is it possible? How long did it take Gu Nanxi to capture it? Did you get delayed on the way?!"
Delaying military orders will result in consequences.
The messenger shook his head repeatedly: "No! It really has nothing to do with us! It took Duke Yun Guoguo two and a half days to capture it."
Where is the two and a half days? It is clear that the overall situation has been decided in less than half a day.
The rest of the time was spent cleaning the battlefield and sending troops to guard the food and grass.
The young emperor's vision went dark, he leaned back and fell on the dragon chair. He gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't your Shuozhou Sima send troops?"
The messenger touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said with a mournful face: "We left, but we didn't catch up."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"What does it mean to not catch up?"
The messenger only felt that his body was about to burn under the glare of countless gazes.
"The speed of Duke Yun is too fast, we can't catch him!"
When the Secretary of the Ministry of War thought that Shuozhou was captured by the Yun Kingdom, and that it could point its sword at Kyoto within a few states, his scalp tightened: "Where are the Yan family? You local powerful people in Shuozhou just watched Gu Nanxi take it. Shuozhou?”
The messenger felt the oppressive atmosphere in the court, his whole body was trembling, and his teeth were chattering: "They stopped them, but they didn't stop them! Duke Yun destroyed nine powerful people in one day. The last remaining Qian family surrendered. .”
Why does this achievement sound so unreal?
Everyone was in a trance.
Is Yunzhou's combat effectiveness so strong? ! Didn’t they just come off the battlefield? !
Taishi Tong calmed down and continued to ask: "How is the situation in Shuozhou now?"
The messenger hesitated and said: "It's just... that's fine. No one stopped me when I came out to deliver the message. Farming and doing business are no different from the past."
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!" Mr. Li Ge has been an official for so many years, and it's not like he has never experienced rebellion.
In the past few years, militias broke out in Hezhong and Henan counties. How miserable were the people's lives? !
It was just a matter of lack of food and clothing. Those insurgent soldiers burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.
Even if Gu Nanxi has strict military discipline, he can't control his subordinates from searching for money and materials!
Mr. Li Ge narrowed his eyes and asked: "Is there really no difference at all? Tell the truth!"
The ordering soldier racked his brains and said weakly: "If there is any difference, it is probably that the public security is much better. There are no more rogues on the streets."
This is very heartbreaking!
Everyone was speechless.
The young emperor asked with the last glimmer of hope: "Has Duke Yun returned to Yunzhou?"
Grand Master Tong looked at the young emperor as if he were a fool.
Why did Gu Nanxi go back? !
The messenger broke the young emperor's fantasy: "No. Yun Guogong said that he will decide whether to stay or leave after the Shuozhou governor sent by the emperor arrives in Shuozhou."
Everyone present understood that this was Duke Yun taking over the young emperor's army again!
Do you dare to send a new governor of Shuozhou? If you dare, if the new governor is stabbed by Gu Nanxi, won't His Majesty's face be trampled under her feet again?
If you don’t dare, it seems like you won’t be able to save face...
