In the end, there were too many people and He Zhihai could not achieve his goal. However, those who came to his door, regardless of whether they were big fish or small shrimps, as long as they were enemies, He Zhihai would not hesitate to take them all.
The ratio of Qi Yuan to West Xiong Nu was about three to one. Although He Zhihai could take on countless people by himself, some of the generals were not as good as him. "One against three" was not a problem. In this way, the ratio was slightly larger. West Xiong Nu's individual combat power was strong, but if they were to face several people, and if their physical strength was not enough, it would be good if they could exchange one for one.
Although they had heard of He Zhihai's strength on the battlefield, when they saw it with their own eyes, many people were still shocked. This was simply beyond the scope of a human.
He Hai shook off the blood droplets on his spear. The people who were in the way had pretty much been cleaned up. He aimed at the position of the Western Hun Tribe's Virtuous King and directly charged over. Because he had been his target from the start, the distance was not too far.
Even if he wanted to protect King Virtuous Sage, if he died, how could he protect him? If he had chosen to escape at the beginning, there might have been a chance. Since he chose to stay, then he must have been prepared to die.
When the Virtuous King slashed the broadsword in his hand towards one of the Qi Yuan soldiers, it was suddenly flicked away by a spear from the side. The strength of the spear was so great that it almost made the broadsword in his hand fly out.
King Virtuous Sage did not know that there was such a person as He Zhihai. His hand was numb from the shock and he was shocked. The only time he met Prince Jin of Qi Yuan was not a direct confrontation. However, at that time, he felt the strength of Prince Jin. If he was not careful, he might have died on the spot. And now, he actually met a monster. For such a person, he was completely unaffected. From this point of view, it seemed that his ending today was not only because of the internal affairs of the Xiong Nu. Unable to be distracted, he hurriedly turned back to fight.
— — A pretty good opponent. This was the definition that He Zhihai gave to the opponent after one blow. Because it wasn't bad, the blood in He Hai's Sea of Consciousness started to boil. The long spear in his hand moved widely, creating a strong wind.
In the blink of an eye, they had fought back and forth countless times. He Sea of Consciousness was getting more and more excited, but King Virtuous King was gradually losing his physical strength. He could also see that his opponent was not using his full strength, otherwise, he would have already lost his life. However, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, his body would instinctively fight, unwilling to give up.
As the other side weakened, He Spiritual Sea lost interest. The Great Sage King was such a big fish, it would be a pity to kill him like this. As such, the power of He Hai's attack also weakened. Just as he was about to …
Su Bufu suddenly came over and snatched the West Hun Nu Great Sage King off the horse before He Zhihai.
He Zhihai raised his eyebrows. In fact, when he caught a glimpse of the figure, he had already made his move. He glanced at Su Bufu and the people behind him. How could they hide from him? This clumsy and despicable way of snatching military merits.
Haha, it was really the people of the Su family. He also knew the true identity of Su Bufu. He Zhihai also knew that he had to deal with Su Bufu. A weak scholar, even if he had different experiences for several months, could he become powerful all of a sudden? Powerful enough to snatch people from his hands, even though he was holding back.
Speaking of it, He Zhihai was not a person who took military merits very important. He enjoyed the process, and the result was secondary. He showed a slightly strange smile to Su Bufu and turned to look for other targets, seeming indifferent.
Su Bufu's eyebrows twitched. How great was the military merit of capturing the enemy's commander-in-chief alive? With this, it was possible to reach the sky in a single bound. Otherwise, he would not rashly make a move. Seeing that the war with the Xiongnu was about to end, his military merits seemed to be very good, and his promotion speed was quite fast. Many people could not reach it in their lifetime, but for him, this was far from enough. Seeing the West Hun Nu Great Sage King was close at hand, and was completely at a disadvantage because of He Zhihai, he acted faster than reason, but he did not expect to get it so easily.
Recently, because of the tight blockade of the military camp, Su Bufu still knew nothing about many things.
From the beginning, he had a bad premonition, and now this premonition was getting stronger and stronger, especially those words that the West Hun Nu Great Sage King said just now. Although it might be the other party's plan to sow discord, Su Bufu still felt frightened. If it was true, then Prince Jin's game of chess was too big and hidden too deep. It could be seen from Prince Jin's usual style of conduct that he was absolutely not a good person. If he still held power in his hands, then the degree of terror would simply rise in a straight line. In this way, there was still a way for others to survive.
In addition, knowing the Emperor's attitude towards Fu Yunting, he could only watch him make more and more military merits. Under the premise that he could not do anything, he could only go all out to win military merits for himself. As for the Emperor, obviously, he could only pretend that he did not know. As the saying went, "The ignorant are not to blame." The military merits were obvious, and the Emperor could not do anything about it. He was bound to pave a way for himself.
However, the battlefield changed rapidly, and there was the danger of losing his life if he was not careful. Now, naturally, Su Bufu could not think so much and could only bite the bullet and go on. Anyway, he had no way to retreat, and could only advance. Therefore, in the face of He Zhihai's deep eyes, he pretended not to see it. He turned his head and said to the people behind him, "Catch him!"
In this way, although this battle was tragic, as Fu Yunting expected, the Qi Yuan's loss rate had increased a lot compared to before, but it could not be helped. The final result was also gratifying. The West Hun Nu Great Sage King was captured alive, and the rest of the people were either captured or beheaded on the spot.
The West Hun Nu Great Sage King was forced to kneel on the ground by two Qi Yuan soldiers. Because his hands and feet had been broken, there was no need to worry that two ordinary soldiers would not be able to control him.
Fu Yunting sat on the back of the horse and looked down at the West Hun Nu Great Sage King expressionlessly.
Another general came forward and said, "General, 1653 Hun Nu soldiers have been captured. The number of beheaded soldiers has not escaped. How should we deal with the captives?"
Fu Yunting did not show any emotion on his face, showing the majesty of a commander-in-chief everywhere. "Pass down the order, send people to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the people escort the captives back to the camp immediately."
The Qi Yuan camp was only more than 50 miles away from the border. They could not advance at full speed with the captives, but there was no need to worry about the current situation, and there was plenty of time.
In the main tent, Li Hongyuan sat at the head of the table and slowly flipped through the official documents on the table. Fu Yunting and a group of generals under him lifted the curtain and came in. They were still talking, but after seeing him, they immediately stopped. The expressions on their faces were stiff, which looked a bit funny. Fu Yunting was fine. As his personal soldier, he was guarding outside the tent. He had just given him a silent hint, so he was mentally prepared.
Li Hongyuan lifted his eyelids and glanced at them, "You're back."
Everyone who came back to their senses hurriedly saluted, "Greetings to Wangye."
"How is the matter?" Li Hongyuan lightly asked.
"Replying to Wangye, everything went smoothly. As for what to do in the future, Wangye, please give instructions. "Fu Yunting said.
"You are the commander-in-chief, and you want Benwang to give instructions? What do I want you to do? "Jin Wangye's attitude towards Fu Yunting had never been good.
Although Fu Yunting had long been accustomed to it, but in front of so many subordinates, he was still somewhat embarrassed and uncomfortable. However, he could be considered to have copper skin and iron bones now. His expression did not change. Since Jin Wangye did not participate, he already knew what to do. "Wangye, the commander-in-chief of the West Hun Nu Great Sage King has been captured alive. Does Wangye want to see him?"
"Oh? Whose credit? "Li Hongyuan seemed to be a little interested.
Fu Yunting turned sideways and motioned for Su Bufu to come forward, "Wangye, this person's surname is Su Bufu. He was originally an ordinary soldier, but his intelligence was outstanding. In the battle against the Xiongnu Great Sage King, he made great contributions. This time, it was his credit to capture Great Sage King alive."
Li Hongyuan slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Bufu. For a moment, he suddenly smiled, "You are all good men of Qi Yuan. Don't forget to count hailstones to Fuhuang. With such a contribution, I think Fuhuang will never treat you unfairly. The same goes for the others."
"Wangye, rest assured that this general will handle this matter well."
Being stared at by Jin Wangye, Su Bufu only felt that his heart was about to jump out. There was always a feeling of being stripped naked and seen through. Although Jin Wangye was actually similar to the other generals present and was not familiar with him, in the face of Jin Wangye's eyes, he could not help but feel uneasy. He had to do his best to control his body from trembling. That feeling was countless times more terrifying than some animals being stared at by their natural enemies.
Li Hongyuan closed the official document in his hand and waved to them, "You can go and bring Great Sage King in."
"We will retire." One by one, they felt as if they had been pardoned. They really did not want to face this living King of Hell, so they filed out.
Great Sage King was carried in by two people and thrown to the ground casually. He looked particularly embarrassed.
"What are you doing? He is the Xiongnu King. His status is second only to the Xiongnu King. At the very least, there should be some basic respect. Take a seat." Although he said so, his expression was not the same.
The living King of Hell spoke, but he did not dare to neglect and quickly helped Great Sage King up.
West Xiongnu Great Sage King's hands and feet were crippled. He could not use any strength. Even if he was sitting, he had lost his dignity. But his eyes were fixed on Jin Qinwang. "It really is you, Qi Yuan's Sixth Prince, Jin Qinwang Li Hongyuan!" He said with certainty.
Although Great Sage King was a very confident and even conceited person, he did not think that he was invincible. He knew that the winner was the king and the loser was the bandit. In fact, he had long been aware that he would be captured and killed. However, when it really came to this moment, he was still very unwilling and abnormally resentful. Especially when he lost without knowing why, he felt vexed and aggrieved.
Li Hongyuan was still calm and indifferent. He understood the other party's meaning and did not have the slightest deterrence to him. However, the more it was like this, the greater the psychological pressure. After all, the unknown was often more frightening than the surface.
"Falling to this point, Benwang has nothing to say. Now, I just want to know what happened. General Fu probably did not give Benwang an answer because of Wangye's prestige. Benwang asks Jin Qinwang not to be stingy with his answer. Benwang can die in peace."
"Whether you die in peace or not, what does it have to do with Benwang?"
Li Hongyuan's face was still indifferent. When these words fell into Great Sage King's ears, he felt endless sarcasm. He could hear the other party's contempt for him. Even if he was already a prisoner, this attitude made Great Sage King's eyes split open.
The more arrogant a person was, the more they could not tolerate others looking down on them.
However, who was the living King of Hell? Would he care about other people's attitudes? The enemies who caused him a lot of trouble in his previous life were just so-so now.
When the Virtuous King was taken out, he was hysterical and wanted to get an answer from Li Hongyuan's mouth. However, the Virtuous King, who was no longer in the eyes of the Living Hell King, was no different from other insignificant people. Thus, even if the Virtuous King screamed until his throat broke, he still couldn't get what he wanted. Therefore, he was destined to die with grievances.
It must be said that Great Sage King was completely crippled. Qi Yuan could not enlist him and naturally could not negotiate with the West Xiong Nu to let the West Xiong Nu spend money to redeem him. For a person like Great Sage King, his death was more valuable than being used to exchange for things from the West Xiong Nu. Only someone with a brain would do something like letting a tiger return to the mountain and leave behind future troubles.
Half of the reason Li Hongyuan came to the Northwest was because of Great Sage King. Now that he had achieved the other half of his goal, well, it could be said that he had achieved it. He could prepare to return to the capital and deal with some other people.
The blockade between the Northwest and the capital was completely lifted. Fu Yunting wrote a report and sent it back to the capital first.
However, the actions here did not stop. Don't forget that Li Hongyuan's original goal was to directly kill the West Xiong Nu and completely cripple them. Therefore, just driving them out was far from enough.
Fu Yunting reorganized the troops in the Northwest and went deep into the West Xiong Nu. Qin Tianming rushed over from Heaven's Gate and brought people to clean up the remaining West Xiong Nu troops in Qi Yuan. That's right, clean up. They did not care about any survivors. They had enough prisoners now.
Although the Xiong Nu people could be said to be soldiers, there were still only so many strong soldiers. Great Sage King had led more than half of the West Xiong Nu troops. Therefore, when faced with Qi Yuan's army, even if they actively resisted, the result was still very little. After all, it was impossible to gather all the remaining troops. It was the same reason that Qi Yuan could not mobilize all the troops to attack New Xiong Nu. It was the same reason that Qi Yuan could not mobilize all the troops to attack New Xiong Nu. It was also surrounded by enemy countries.
Fu Yunting's unstoppable force forced the West Xiong Nu court to migrate again and again.
This time, it was Qi Yuan's turn to use war to support war. The West Xiong Nu invaded Qi Yuan, robbed the people, and killed countless people. Now was the time to take revenge — a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood!
Being forced into such a miserable state, it was certain that the West Hun King regretted it now. Even if he couldn't find out about the Virtuous Sage King's current situation through his own channels, Qiyuan would definitely be willing to tell him. He would clearly let him know that he had been tricked, that he had been schemed against. He would make him regret it, make him feel guilty, and make him feel fear.
Disturbing the hearts of the people and shaking the morale of the army was a very common method.
The North Xiong Nu did not stay idle either. A few decades ago, when they were defeated by Qi Yuan, the West Xiong Nu did the same and occupied a large area of the North Xiong Nu territory. At this time, they naturally wanted to give them a taste of their own medicine. As for the previous alliance, what was it? It was already like this when the West Xiong Slaves secretly robbed the North Xiong Slaves. Although he might have realized that he might have been used by others, what could he do? Qi Yuan was already unstoppable. If he went against him, it would undoubtedly be like striking a rock with an egg. Naturally, he had to seize the opportunity to plunder some benefits for himself. As for whether he would become Qi Yuan's next target, that was a matter for later. Right now, he didn't want to think about it. It was fine to deceive himself or deceive others.
After Fu Yunting led the army thousands of miles into the West Xiong Nu territory, the imperial court finally received specific information about the Northwest — Fu Yunting deliberately slowed down the submission of the memorial.
Other than Le Chengdi, everyone else was overjoyed.
Fu Yunting's memorial only said that the West Xiong Nu had schemed to drive a wedge between the Northwest Army and the imperial court. Fu Yunting had a flash of inspiration and decided to simply beat them at their own game. He would seal off the Northwest and then use the tactic of sowing discord between the West Xiong Nu and the North Xiong Nu. As the saying goes, when a general is outside, the emperor's orders cannot be followed. He asked for the emperor's forgiveness.
Now, Qi Yuan's army had completely driven out the Xiong Nu army. Not only did they recapture a large area of the Qi Yuan's lost territory, but they also occupied the West Xiong Nu territory and expanded Qi Yuan's territory.
With this kind of contribution, Le Chengdi wanted to kill Fu Yunting and wipe out his entire family without damaging his own reputation?
No matter how Le Chengdi felt about Fu Yunting, as an emperor, even if he was not ambitious, expanding the territory under his rule was a merit that would be immortalized for generations to come. Because, other than being furious, he was also happy like everyone else. These two extremes of emotions caused him to be conflicted. It was fine in front of the ministers, but in front of the eunuchs, he would be happy for a while and then angry for a while. This made people suspect that there was something wrong with Le Chengdi.
As for the war in the Northwest, they only knew that the West Xiong Nu had won a complete victory. Just like the North Xiong Nu, the West Xiong Nu had been routed. However, the specific situation was still unknown. They could only wait for them to return to the imperial court.
Le Chengdi had always thought that his arrangements were good, even if not flawless. However, because no one else knew about it, it was unlikely that there would be any mistakes. But now, he was given a completely opposite result. Just where did the problem lie? He had never considered that Li Suyan would betray him and that his son was the mastermind behind the scenes.
Other things aside, there was one thing that needed to be released as soon as possible. Wu Anhou's people had to be released as soon as possible. Le Chengdi was now "very sensible". He even specially asked Qin Shufei to summon the female attendants into the palace to appease them.
Qin Shufei's current situation was not bad. It was enough to show that the Imperial Noble Consort did not make any mistakes. Qin Shufei was actually working for Li Hongyuan. She naturally put in 120% effort to appease them.
After clearing out most of the Xiong Nu soldiers in Qi Yuan, Jingwan still followed Li Hongyuan out for a walk. She looked at the current situation in the Northwest. How should she put it? Nine out of ten houses were empty. Although this was expected, she still couldn't help but feel sad when she saw it with her own eyes. The Xiong Nu soldiers were inhumane. They burned, killed, and plundered. They were worse than animals.
Although Qi Yuan's army had penetrated deep into the Xiong Nu's hinterland, they were still not as bloody and cruel as the Xiong Nu soldiers. Not to mention the ordinary civilians, they basically wouldn't touch them. Even the nobles who encountered the Xiong Nu soldiers would "rob" them and kill them without exception. However, they basically didn't touch the old, weak, women, and children. They even left a certain amount of food for them. As for what would happen in the future? Whether they would stubbornly survive or starve to death after running out of food had nothing to do with them. They only cared about the present. At the very least, they had to maintain their humanity.
"If you feel uncomfortable, don't look." Li Hongyuan comforted Jingwan.
She shook her head. "It's nothing. It's just some empty houses. It's still bearable. "
However, with the current situation in the Northwest, if they wanted to restore it to its former state, they would probably have to migrate people from other places. This would be a big project. It was obvious that under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for those people to take the initiative to come over. After all, it was just after the war. Ordinary people would still be afraid. Moreover, people paid particular attention to returning to their roots. If it was not a last resort, no one would want to leave their home.
Although moving to the Northwest might give them a certain amount of subsidies, for the current people, they all hoped for stability and liked peace. That little bit of subsidy was not enough to move them. Going to a strange place would cause them to develop some negative emotions — — the current environment made most people not so fond of excitement and lacked the spirit of adventure. If they were in an unfamiliar place, they would be restless.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. When the time comes, it will be dealt with. If the imperial court is merciful, it's just a matter of more money. Or, there's nothing at all. After a long time, you'll get used to it and it won't matter. "
"I don't want to care and I'm not worried. It's just moving to another place. It's not a big deal." Jingwan shook her head.
However, habit was a scary thing. Sometimes, you can't deny its strength.
At this time, Le Cheng Emperor no longer cared about anything and directly issued an imperial edict for Jin Qinwang to return to the capital.
At this time, it was already the end of February. According to Li Hongyuan's virtue, even if there was an imperial edict, he would certainly not rush back. The time spent on the road would be several times more than when he came. After all, he missed the great scenery of the Northwest. Naturally, he couldn't miss the scenery on the way back.
Jingwan's carriage sickness wasn't that serious now, but in comparison, she still preferred to ride a horse. No matter how comfortable the carriage was, in the end, it was the road that decided everything. The cramped space in the carriage was really not comfortable.
Although the flames of war raged ahead, it didn't have much of an impact on Jingwan. After all, she didn't personally see the bloody and cruel scene. Even if Li Hongyuan wanted to "reminisce", he wouldn't let Jingwan experience it. In this way, although it wasn't as good as the trip to Jiangnan, in terms of Jingwan's own experience, it was more peaceful than that time. Therefore, this could be considered a good trip.
Because they slowed down their speed, when they were about to reach the capital, they unexpectedly bumped into Fu Yunting and the others who were returning to the capital. It must be known that Fu Yunting and the others spent a lot of time dealing with the matters of the tail.
In the Northwest Army, Fu Yunting could mobilize three hundred thousand soldiers. One third of them were the border troops, the rest were the government troops of the various prefectures in the Northwest. After the great battle, they lost nearly one hundred thousand soldiers. This number was shocking. However, in comparison, the Xiongnu's casualties were even greater. It could be said that they were completely wiped out.
Following Fu Yunting back to the capital was only a small half of the generals. They were basically people who performed very well this time. The remaining nearly twenty thousand people were brought by Fu Yunting when he left the capital.
After the baptism of blood and the test of life and death, they were majestic and imposing. At the same time, their killing intent soared to the sky.
It was just that there were prisoner carriages mixed in with the army. It was obvious that when they returned to the capital, there would be a grand prisoner offering ceremony.
Although Fu Yunting did this to create momentum for himself, he had defeated a country and captured their important personnel. Holding a prisoner offering ceremony was also a way to show the country's prestige and calm the people. Thus, no one would easily say anything. Even Le Chengdi knew that this was to increase Fu Yunting's bargaining chip. He could only keep his mouth shut. Even if he was the Emperor, he could not change this point.
Qiyuan's great victory had already been widely publicized in the capital. Thus, it could be imagined just how grand of an occasion it would be when they returned to the capital. Thus, Li Hongyuan simply ordered his men to make a detour and head straight to the manor. They would return to the capital after they had finished reorganizing.
The journey was not difficult. It was just that returning to a familiar place made Jingwan feel more relaxed and comfortable.
In fact, as Li Hongyuan and Jingwan expected, Fu Yunting led the iron army closer to the capital step by step. The city gates were wide open. Outside the city gates, there were densely packed common people. They lined the streets to welcome them, their cheers shaking the sky.
At this time, they made people afraid just by looking at them, but it also made more people's hearts beat faster. How many people admired heroes?
That Le Chengdi led civil and military officials, as well as his sons, to the city gates to welcome them.
Early in the morning, the drums were beaten, one after another, the sound never ending.
Outside the city gates, Fu Yunting dismounted from his horse and knelt on one knee. He did not use the excuse that it was inconvenient to kneel because of his armor. If he really did that, he would be courting death. With Jin Qinwang suppressing him, Fu Yunting had never been too conceited. He loudly sang 'Long Live Our Emperor', and the soldiers behind him all followed. Then, he presented the West Xiongnu Virtuous King and the captives to Le Chengdi.
Putting aside Fu Yunting, Le Chengdi was still quite happy. Whether it was for face or sincerity, at this time, they all clapped their hands and shouted that they would all be rewarded.
Then, the captives on the prison cart were all pressed down and forced to kneel on the ground.
Large swords were placed on their necks, and with a command, heads fell to the ground one by one.
The Virtuous King was at the back, and people were killed from the front. Anyone who was at the back could see the whole process clearly. Killing people on the battlefield was one thing, but this kind of psychological pressure caused by seeing your comrades' heads being chopped off, and then it was your turn. If your endurance was slightly weaker, you might go crazy on the spot.
Putting the Virtuous King at the back, it was obvious that he would bear the most pressure.
However, the Virtuous King ignored it all. Even if he was beaten by the Qi Yuan soldiers, he still held his head high. That was his pride, and he would not lower his head to anyone at any time.
The Virtuous King stared at Le Chengdi, and at some point, he suddenly laughed. It was not the despair and unwillingness of dying, but it was relief, and even a little bit of schadenfreude. The Virtuous King saw that the current Le Chengdi was not his son's opponent at all. On the way from the Northwest to the Qi Yuan's capital, the Virtuous King had thought it through. He had fallen to this point, and there was nothing to complain about, but there was some regret in his heart. He regretted that he did not know more about the person who put him in this situation. If he had known earlier, perhaps the ending would have been different.
The Virtuous King's head rolled to the ground, covered with dust. He was supposed to be a hero of his generation, but he met a terrible opponent. It could be said that he was born at the wrong time, and in the end, he could only be separated from his body and die in a foreign land with regret.
Under normal circumstances, a dead person would be like a tiger, and people would be afraid. However, because the enemy had committed a heinous crime in their own country, so when the people saw it, they only felt unusually happy and cheered loudly.
The bloodstain was completed, and the majesty of the imperial family was once again raised to another level. "Everyone has had a hard journey. I order people to set up a banquet in the palace with good wine and good food to welcome you. Now go home for the time being and wash up. "
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Those who originally had houses in the capital naturally went home, and those who remained went to the Xishan Barracks to settle down.
It had become a tradition to set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the meritorious officials who had returned home.
However, Fu Yunting always felt that Le Chengdi's eyes were gloomy when he looked at him. He did not know if this banquet would be a trap for him. Similar thoughts flashed through his mind, but Fu Yunting did not care.
The banquet was at night, and Le Chengdi was anxious. He had waited for so long, and there was no need to be anxious now. Therefore, he would be a magnanimous Emperor.
Of course, for the time being, Le Chengdi could not tell Fu Yunting what happened, but he could first find out the whole story through other channels, such as Yu Zhongqing and Li Suyan.
As Le Chengdi's left and right arms, these two people were worthy of his trust. They usually had very little interaction, and at this time, Le Chengdi called them in for questioning.
To a certain extent, Yu Zhongqing was only there to protect Jin Qinwang's safety. He could not intervene in the war in the Northwest, and would not intervene. Therefore, he only said some personal matters about Jin Qinwang, and expressed that he did not know anything else.
Thus, Le Chengdi could not say anything. He waved his hand and let him go out first.
Li Suyan, as the Zuo Qinwang of the Blackguard, was the next Commander of the Blackguard. The most important task that Le Chengdi taught him was also the idea that Li Suyan came up with for the Emperor.
"Speak." Le Chengdi did not treat this official who was nominally an adopted son, but was actually his own son, as a son. He was more like Yu Zhongqing, a useful and trustworthy official, which meant that he could abandon him at any time. If he wanted to give, he could give. If he did not want to, he could immediately take it back.
The news in the Northwest was blocked, but Li Suyan held the Blackguard, which was originally extraordinary. If he really wanted to pass on the news, would he really be trapped? Based on this point, Le Chengdi's expression was quite bad.
Li Suyan's expression did not change. He knelt there and looked very quiet. That's right, quiet. For someone like him, who had a heavy aura of hostility, his current state was actually very strange.
But in Le Chengdi's eyes, it was not strange. Probably in his eyes, this was a normal situation.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this official followed the original plan and tactfully informed Jin Qinwang of some matters. However, Wang Ye did not believe it and thought that this official had some animosity with Fu Yunting at some place and was obstructing him. Wangye said that the Emperor is the Emperor, a rare wise Monarch, a wise Lord. It is impossible for him to make such a ridiculous decision when the country is in danger. Even if he had any opinions about Fu Yunting, he would choose to deal with it after the fact, or change the Commander-in-Chief, and not use such a method to disregard the country and the people. … … "
Hearing this, Le Chengdi felt his face burning. But because no one dared to look directly at the Emperor's face, he did not lose face. As if there was something stuck in his throat, he could not spit it out or swallow it. He did not know if he should be angry at his son for ruining things, or happy that his image in his son's heart was so wise and powerful, or should he feel ashamed that he did not live up to his name.
"After that, Wangye locked this official up and waited until he returned to the capital for the Emperor to deal with."
As his Blackguard, because this matter was serious, it was naturally impossible to tell them. Li Suyan could only obediently be locked up. Even if he had the chance, he did not dare to contact the Emperor. After all, if he was discovered, the Emperor's image would be completely ruined and his good reputation would no longer exist. Since he was so considerate of the Emperor, Le Chengdi naturally could not blame him.
It was not that Le Chengdi did not have any suspicions, but this matter was only known by Li Suyan, so there was no way to verify it.
"You can withdraw first." Le Chengdi waved his hand weakly.
"Your Majesty, this official dares to say that after Wangye returns to the capital, he will definitely ask you to verify this matter. How should this official answer? Please enlighten me. "Li Suyan impolitely added to Le Chengdi's troubles.
Le Chengdi had a headache. That's right, how should he deal with this matter? That son was not easy to fool. It was impossible to push the matter to Li Suyan. At that time, no matter from which angle, the lightest punishment would be dismissal and investigation, and the heaviest punishment would be death. If it was someone else, Le Chengdi would give it up. But Li Suyan was his trusted official and was also his son. It was very easy to use him. There were few things that he was dissatisfied with. He definitely did not want to see something happen because of this kind of groundless accusation. So in order to protect Li Suyan, he had to appease his son with this excuse and not involve himself. Just thinking about it gave him a splitting headache.
"You can withdraw first. I will deal with this matter."
"Yes, this official will withdraw." Li Suyan also left in a very natural and unrestrained manner.
Le Chengdi knew that Li Hongyuan had gone to the village. He was originally anxious to see him, but now he did not think so. But it seemed that it was too late. He had already sent someone to call his son back.
The Living King of Hell who was dedicated to deceiving his father, after seeing the person sent by Le Chengdi, he gave him face and left.
After returning to the capital, Li Hongyuan first sent Jingwan back to the Wangfu, then entered the palace alone.
After seeing his son, Le Chengdi asked about his son's well-being, expressing the concern of a father to his son. He did not mention anything about the missing person. After all, if he mentioned it, the matter that he wanted to hide would also be exposed.
Li Hongyuan knew in his heart. If Le Chengdi did not say anything, he did not mention it as well. He seemed to be very considerate, but his eyes seemed to be very deep. He seemed to know everything. But because he was his father, there were some things that he could not see through. At least on the surface, he could save his face.
Le Chengdi held his breath. If this was really the case, then this son deliberately ruined his plan, and he could not say anything. In his opinion, this son only thought that he did not like Fu Yunting, and there was no deeper reason.
"If there's nothing else, Imperial Father, I'll take my leave." Li Hongyuan flicked his sleeves and left.
Le Chengdi could only watch as his son walked out of the door and disappeared.
As for his own suspicions, Le Chengdi could not verify them.
The banquet in the evening was a welcoming banquet and also a celebration banquet. Many princes, who were crowned as kings, would definitely attend, as well as important officials in the court. Of course, women would definitely not attend such a banquet.
At the beginning of the banquet, Le Chengdi said many words that seemed to be encouraging and gave absolute affirmation to everyone. In fact, he was just trying to win people's hearts. Those who knew about it knew in their hearts. But at this time, no one would care about it. Anyway, the army returned triumphantly, which was a very happy thing.
Just when Le Chengdi was about to reward the generals, Fu Yunting stepped forward first.
