The ministers continued to discuss government affairs.
In the past few days, the morning pilgrimage has been extended time and time again, and yesterday it even ended in the evening.
Many older officials complained endlessly.
I'm hungry!
So hungry!
Morning continues.
Suddenly, Ximen Qing stumbled into the hall and stammered: "Your Majesty, there is news, there is news. Half an hour ago, someone saw Prince Consort Du and His Highness the King of Shu returning to Hu County with an army of beggars.
Prince Consort’s Mansion.”
What?
The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were suddenly in an uproar.
Isn’t Du He dead?
Why did he suddenly return to Hu County after no news for more than ten days?
Li Er couldn't help but ask: "Is the news true?"
Ximen Qing said: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. Someone has seen it with his own eyes, not only Prince Consort Du and the King of Shu, but also the legion of beggars."
"Hahaha……"
Li Er suddenly laughed.
A moment ago, he was still immersed in the grief of Du He and Li Ke dying for their country, but now he suddenly learned that Du He and Li Ke were alive and well, how could he not be happy.
However, when he came back to his senses, he asked curiously: "Du He killed Lu Huaguang in Youzhou, destroyed the Lu family's nest, captured Lu Mingzhou three times, and defeated the Lu family's army of 120,000 with one man's power.
Gathered in Fanyang County, with such supreme merit, why didn’t he come to see me as soon as possible and went to Hu County instead?”
Ximen Qing said with a troubled expression: "Your Majesty, Prince Consort Du said that he was tired from traveling and traveling, so he wanted to go back to Hu County to rest for a while."
Li Er: "..."
Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "..."
This guy is simply arrogant.
Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter. I know Du He quite well. He is arrogant and doesn't know how to restrain himself. If he really made such a contribution, he would have entered the city with great fanfare. Why did he go quietly?
We arrived at Hu County. Perhaps the information we received before was wrong. Du He led the beggar army and did not even go to Youzhou. He knew he was guilty and did not dare to go to Chang'an to meet His Majesty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Lord Changsun is right. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Du He did not dare to come to Chang'an."
"I ask your Majesty to withdraw the edict immediately. If Du He has no merit, how can we make him the Duke of Pingguo? Please give the order immediately."
"Seconded!"
"I second the proposal!"
For a time, the ministers in the DPRK tried to persuade Li Er like crazy.
Li Er was also shaken.
Could it be that Du He really didn't go to Youzhou?
He just wanted to send someone to investigate.
But Li Junxian hurriedly rushed into the palace and said angrily: "Your Majesty, Qin Huaiyu, the son of General Qin, rushed back from Youzhou. He said he had an urgent military situation and wanted to report to Your Majesty."
Qin Huaiyu?
Li Er was stunned and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, bring him up."
Li Er thought to himself, Qin Huaiyu came back in such a hurry, could it be that something happened to Qin Qiong?
Most of the civil and military officials in the DPRK and China also had this idea, and for a while, everyone's mood became heavy.
"It's all Du He's fault. If he hadn't gone to Youzhou, the erroneous information wouldn't have been transmitted, and General Qin wouldn't have rushed his army to attack Fan Yang. Maybe he fell into Lu's trap!"
"Yes, if something happens to General Qin, Du He will bear the unshirkable responsibility."
Just as everyone was talking about it, Qin Huaiyu, who was tired of traveling, walked into the hall.
Qin Huaiyu worked hard all the way from Youzhou and hardly slept for more than two hours.
The whole person was almost exhausted.
Li Er asked: "Huaiyu, what happened in Youzhou? Where is your father?"
Qin Huaiyu bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, we have a great victory in Youzhou. All thirty-six counties in the state have been recovered. My father is stabilizing the situation in Youzhou. In order to avoid your Majesty's worries, I sent a special minister to rush back to Chang'an to report the news."
ah?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The Lu rebels were suppressed?
All of Youzhou has been recovered?
Everyone was a little unable to react.
After all, I have experienced too many things today.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Er suddenly laughed wildly again.
He slapped the table and said in a good mood: "Huaiyu, you and your father have made great achievements. Originally, I and the ministers thought that it would take at least half a year to put down the Lu family's rebellion. Unexpectedly, you and your father took action.
, the rebellion was put down in one month, and when Shubao's squadron returns to the court, I will definitely reward you heavily."
Qin Huaiyu was startled: "Your Majesty, you must not do this. I and my father will suffer the consequences."
"Huh? Do you think my reward will be less?" Li Er asked.
Qin Huaiyu shook his head: "No, Your Majesty, all the credit for putting down the Lu rebellion this time should go to Du He. I and my father really didn't do much, so we don't dare to take credit."
"how do I say this?"
Li Er asked.
Everyone also stretched their necks.
Qin Huaiyu said: "The thing is like this..."
He briefly recounted everything that happened after Du He led the powerful army into Youzhou until Youzhou City was recovered.
Quiet!
When Qin Huaiyu finished speaking, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
A surprise attack on Lu's lair!
Take advantage of the chaos and kill Lu Huaguang!
Capture Shu King Lu Huayuan alive!
Form an army of rebels!
Capture Fanyang City skillfully!
Three captures and three manipulations of Lu Mingzhou!
Gather the Lu family’s 120,000 troops!
Flooded Lu’s army!
Recover the lost ground with the power of thunder!
Thirty-six counties in one state were all recaptured by the beggar army!
…
Everyone was shocked, not shocked, but deeply shocked.
Even if the famous general Bai Qi is alive and Sun Wuzi is resurrected, it will be nothing more than this.
This...is this something humans do?
Some people suddenly felt sorry for Mr. Lu.
If you want to rebel, just rebel. Why do you have to meet Du He?
For a long time, no one spoke.
boom.
His Majesty Li Er immediately stood up, glanced around, and asked: "Dear ladies, do you still want me to withdraw the reward for Du He?"
Everyone: "..."
Whoever dares to object is going against the world, and is afraid that the world will scold him like a bitch.
After a long while, Changsun Wuji asked leisurely: "Your Majesty, although General Qin's words are wonderful, it is still a bit sensational that Du He regained thirty-six counties in one state with only a hundred people. What proof is there?"
Qin Huaiyu said: "Your Majesty, please see, these are the documents handed over by my father and the Mighty Legion. Thirty-six counties in one state were all handed over to my father by the Mighty Legion. They cannot be faked. Also, there are thirty-six counties in one state.
Among the six counties, the official seals of the governor of Youzhou and the magistrates of thirty-six counties are all in the hands of Du He."
Everyone: "..."
Du He must have expected that the DPRK would not admit his guilt.
He even came out to hand over documents.
And the official seals of thirty-six counties in one state were confiscated?
Is this... still something humans do?
Changsun Wuji was helpless, with a hint of bitterness on his lips: "Your Majesty, I... I have nothing to say."
"Hahaha……"
His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Come, go to Hu County to announce that Duhe will lead a powerful army into the palace... No, I will personally go outside the city to greet him."
Later, Li Er personally went out to meet Du He outside Yongning Gate with all the civil and military officials, showing the highest standards.
