Chapter 93 The sudden change in Liaodong, looking at the sky speechlessly

Wang Qi and his party set out from Beijing and arrived at Jizhou Prefecture in the evening of the same day.

Qu Wenchun, the prefect of Jizhou, held a special banquet for him. That night, Wang Qi took a rest early because he was too drunk. He planned to set off early tomorrow morning and strive to arrive at Shanhaiguan within two days.

But at midnight that night, I was woken up by Qin Erbao's knock on the door.

"Your Excellency, Liaodong is reporting urgently. Passing by Jizhou Prefecture, Jizhou Magistrate Qu Wenchun and Commander-in-Chief Qi Yixiang learned about the content of the report, and now they have brought troops to see you!"

Not long after, a voice came from Wang Qi's room: "Ask them to go to the front hall, I will be there soon! By the way, call Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan together!"

"Yes!" Qin Erbao retreated.

Inside the room, Wang Qi was already tying his clothes, and his brows were tightly furrowed... The Liaodong report at this time could only be written by Xiong Tingbi.

I hope this veteran minister will not cause any trouble!

Not long after, Wang Qi came to the front hall. Qu Wenchun, the prefect of Jizhou, and Qi Yixiang, the commander-in-chief, had already arrived, while Lu Xiangsheng and Yuan Chonghuan were also neatly dressed and waiting here.

"My lords, I've been waiting for a long time." Wang Qi raised his hands to several people, but his eyes had already fallen on Pu Bing: "Have you brought a letter from Liaodong?"

"Little Li Tianrui, the soldier from the left camp of Ningyuan City, pays homage to the chief military officer!" The soldier named Li Tianrui knelt down and bowed to Wang Qi.

Wang Qi's reputation in Liaodong is increasing day by day, and almost all soldiers and generals admire him. However, the news of Wang Qi's appointment as chief military officer probably did not reach Liaodong, and it was probably Qu Wenchun, the prefect of Jizhou, who informed him in advance.

"The younger one brought a secret letter from the Minister of Economic Affairs of Liaodong." Li Tianrui took off the secret brocade bag from his waist, took out a intact letter sealed with wax, and handed it to Wang Qi with both hands.

Upon seeing this, Qin Erbao stepped forward to take the letter, opened it directly, and after checking it, he turned around and handed it to Wang Qi.

Everyone in the hall focused their attention on Wang Qi.

The prefect Qu Wenchun and the commander-in-chief Qi Yixiang didn't know what was written in the letter. On normal days, they wouldn't have stopped them and just let him go directly to the capital. But at this time, the matter was very important, and Wang Qi was in Jizhou Prefecture.

Staying overnight and letting him see it first is to be prepared.

After counting the interest...

Wang Qi reached out and handed the letter back to Qin Erbao: "Reseal it! I will write a handwritten letter and have him take it back to the capital for explanation!"

"Don't worry, sir!" Qin Erbao bowed and took the letter.

After giving the instructions, Wang Qi lowered his head and said nothing for a long time.

No one in the hall dared to say anything for fear of disturbing Wang Qi's thoughts.

"How many days has it been since Xiong Tingbi sent out troops?" After a while, Wang Qi raised his eyes and looked at Pu Bing.

"Today, it has been five days," Napu Bing's face was covered with sweat. He didn't know whether it was nervousness or fear.

"Ha..." Wang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head, and breathed out gently, speechless.

"Sir, what's going on in Liaodong?" Lu Xiangsheng was very bold. He took a step forward and bowed to ask Wang Qi.

"This is Xiong Tingbi's secret message from Haizhou Guard!" Wang Qi reached out and pointed at the soldiers, and continued: "Xiong Tingbi said in the letter that the old slave of Jianzhou is using all the strength of the country to invade North Korea and wants to conquer North Korea. The incorporation of the territory into the country made the ruler of the country go to Shenyang City in person to accept the territory and become his vassal."

"Could it be that the army took the opportunity to recapture the Haizhou Guard?" Commander-in-Chief Qi Yixiang shouted in surprise, but was caught by Wang Qi's cold eyes and did not dare to speak out.

Wang Qi continued: "Xiong Tingbi thought that if the Jianzhou Kingdom was empty of troops, the Ming Dynasty could take the opportunity to seize a large area of ​​land east of the Liao River and use it as a base to divide Liaonan and Liaodong. The troops on the Jiaodong Peninsula could also be used. Entering Liaodong from Denglai puts tremendous pressure on Zijianzhou!"

In other words, Xiong Tingbi took advantage of the full strength of the Later Jin Dynasty to send troops to North Korea, led his troops across the Liaohe River, and recaptured the Haizhou Guard, which was close at hand... And the Haizhou Guard was only three hundred miles away from Liaoyang City.

Everyone was speechless after hearing this, because Wang Qi's face was cold, indicating that the actual situation was far from that easy.

"If I'm not wrong, the letter of credence from the leader of North Korea is also on the way?" Wang Qi looked at the soldiers.

"If you want to return to the Commander-in-Chief, you should arrive in the capital first!" Napu Bing replied truthfully.

"I will write a letter later and you can bring it to the court, and then set off immediately. Jizhou General Soldier will arrange for you to change horses and a team of guards. You will gallop all night tonight and try to arrive in the capital early tomorrow morning!" Wang Qi said without delay. , turned directly to look at the prefect Qu Wenchun.

"Get pens, ink, paper and inkstones ready immediately!" Qu Wenchun nodded. Just now, he had someone prepare them.

Not long after, Wang Qi quickly wrote a memorial and handed it to Napu Bing Li Tianrui. This letter does not need to be entangled in words, just explain the thoughts in his heart and the subsequent prepared actions!

After arranging the Napu soldiers to leave, Wang Qi turned to face the crowd: "In half an hour, we will also set off for Liao, trying to cross Shanhaiguan and reach Guangning City before the bad news comes!"

Yuan Chonghuan, who was standing aside, turned pale when he heard this: "Sir, is it possible that the army will be directly defeated by Jianzhou, and that the Haizhou Guards that have just been recaptured will not be able to defend it for five days?"

"Are you still thinking about the Haizhou Guard?" Wang Qi turned around and sneered after hearing this: "If this old slave has no idea about Guangning City this time, Xiong Tingbi can thank the gods and Buddhas all over the sky!"

After saying this, Wang Qi looked at the sky speechlessly and murmured: "Why is Xiong Tingbi so eager for quick success..."

Rumble...

At some point, the originally clear sky was now filled with dark clouds, and thunder rolled in from a distance.

————

There was a loud bang and thunder exploded.

The green tiles and gold bricks on the Qianqing Palace shine extremely brightly.

On the jade couch, Zhu Youxiao, who was tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, was also startled by the thunder and stood up suddenly.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to call my concubines to sleep with you?" Zhu Youxiao did not order anyone to sleep with him today, so Wei Zhongxian stayed in the outer hall all night. Hearing noises in the hall, Wei Zhongxian asked someone to light a dragon candle and stood in front of the door. Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor.

"When is it?" Zhu Youxiao gasped.

"It's three o'clock in the morning," Wei Zhongxian still lowered his head: "There is no morning court today, your Majesty can rest a little longer."

"Please wait for me to change my clothes," Zhu Youxiao wiped the sweat from his forehead.

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he gave a look and asked the palace maids who had been waiting outside the door to push the door in.

At this moment, the little eunuch outside the palace suddenly ran over soaked from outside, leaned close to Wei Zhongxian and whispered in Wei Zhongxian's ear.

Wei Zhongxian frowned, hesitated, looked at the young eunuch and said, "Now?"

"What's going on?" In the palace, Zhu Youxiao obviously heard the noise.

"Back to Your Majesty," Wei Zhongxian outside the palace bowed: "Just now, an urgent message from Liaodong has arrived at the cabinet. Today, the minister on duty, Han Xu, wants to enter the palace to see..."

With a creak, the palace door opened, and Zhu Youxiao walked out with his hair disheveled. His tone was dull: "Ask Han Xu to wait for me in the East Pavilion, and at the same time summon all the cabinet ministers to enter the palace."

"At this time?" Wei Zhongxian looked surprised.

At three o'clock in the morning, all the cabinet ministers were called into the palace. When the news spread, the capital was afraid.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian intently and said nothing.

"You talk too much!" Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground with a plop, his face turned pale instantly.

If Han Xu were here, it wouldn't hurt to give him some advice. Cabinet ministers have their responsibilities.

But as a close servant, what qualifications do you have to give advice to the emperor?

"Let's do it!" After a while, Zhu Youxiao withdrew his gaze, sat on the stool, and asked the palace maid to comb his hair.

As soon as Wang Qi left, something happened in Liaodong... Zhu Youxiao was extremely depressed.
