"I understand, although I won't go, I have prepared a congratulatory gift." Huang Beiyue waved her hand and told Jike: "The capture of Yanzhou was shrouded by His Majesty's divine power. After hearing about His Majesty's wedding, I specially offered Yanzhou as a gift.
Prefecture and nine surrounding cities as congratulatory gifts, congratulations to His Majesty on your great joy! Jike, take the city map and the envoy to Linhuai City with you!"
"Yes!" Jike nodded solemnly.
When the messenger saw that everything had been arranged for her, he said nothing more and happily left with the reward.
Huang Beiyue rubbed her forehead, looked up and saw Beitang You standing upright beside her, and said with a smile: "The emperor's wedding will grant a general amnesty to the world. Although Qiandai Ying cannot let her go free, she will not be grounded again. Sir You, can you help me?"
The emperor has accomplished his great cause, and the emperor will definitely realize your wish."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Beitang You bowed very respectfully in the direction of Linhuai City, the imperial capital.
Huang Beiyue stood up with a smile, "Yanzhou has been taken, how to manage it next is up to you!"
She patted Beitang Yu on the shoulder. She trusted this person very much.
Chiyoda Ying is his thorn in the side, and as long as Chiyoda Ying is still under house arrest in Linhuai City by Zhan Ye, Beitang Yu will never rebel.
The two of them walked out of the cell together. Beitang You suddenly remembered something and said, "Dong'er can't let go of the past. Are you..."
Huang Beiyue stopped, thought for a while, and said, "Let Jike and Dong'er go to Linhuai City to celebrate the wedding together."
When Beitang You heard this, although he didn't say anything else, there was still a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth.
When the news of Yanzhou's defeat came back to Huijing, the courtiers were shocked, and they all wrote memorials accusing the imperial master Li Xie of being the one who wanted to provoke Nanyi State, first causing trouble on the border, and then sending troops to attack.
Who knew that there was such a powerful Marquis Rui in the Nanyi Kingdom? He led his troops to defeat the Northern Yao Kingdom and even took the initiative to invade. Now even the fortress of Yanzhou has been captured!
In the final analysis, is it not Li Xie's fault?
The Nanyi Kingdom is now unprecedentedly powerful. To come and provoke him at this time is to seek death, but His Majesty indulges him again and again.
These ministers clamored in the court, but it was a pity that His Majesty had not been in court for a few days. When he heard that Yanzhou had been lost, he did not get angry, but summoned Li Xie.
After Li Xie came out, he didn't say anything. He just told the ministers that His Majesty ordered the troops to be suspended to support the people.
"We are willing to suspend our troops and raise our people? How can the South Wing Country be willing? They just captured Yanzhou and took advantage of the terrain to pursue the victory along the way. How can they possibly suspend their troops and raise their people?"
The ministers didn't understand it at all.
Li Xie said coldly: "The Nanyi Kingdom will not attack. Huang Beiyue has no time to take care of himself at this time."
After saying that, he left a group of ministers who were stunned and didn't know the truth and walked away.
Li Xie was right. Yanzhou was victorious, and the Nanyi Kingdom did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it. The emperor ordered the reinforcement of the city defenses to appease the people, and did not rush to send troops.
A very important reason is that a village ten miles away from Yanzhou that had just been included in the territory of the Nanyi Kingdom was bloodbathed by ferocious beasts overnight.
The village is close to the Floating Light Forest, and I heard that ferocious beasts have often appeared recently. Originally, the spiritual beasts in the depths of the forest were at peace with humans, but recently, for some unknown reason, those spiritual beasts have become full of hostility and frequently attack lone pedestrians.
In order not to cause panic among the public, the news was blocked.
It wasn't until late at night that Huang Beiyue secretly entered the village to check the truth.
