Chapter 500: Number of Crimes
Luo Tingshan pushed 5,000 Huns directly back to Jizhou.
On the day of returning to the city, the Jizhou prefect stood at the city gate to greet him, and the people also stood on the streets. Even if they were not full, they took out the only food in their homes and prepared to give it as a gift to General Luo.
When the Luo family army was stationed in Youzhou, they had never suffered from war.
I just hope that Luo Jiajun will never leave again.
"Here he comes, General Luo appears!"
With a shout, a mighty man riding a tall horse appeared at the city gate.
The man looked solemn, tightening the reins with one hand, his long legs straddling the horse's belly as he slowly walked through the street.
The people were cheering all around. Luo Tingshan looked over and a gentle smile appeared on his serious face.
This scene seemed to have appeared in my dream last time.
"General Luo!"
Bai Yi greeted him with admiration from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Luo Tingshan smiled faintly: "Grandmaster Bai has worked hard too!"
Now, Governor Bai’s position couldn’t be clearer.
Treating your own people is of course like being bathed in spring breeze.
With the entry of most of the military camp, Jizhou City was indeed festive for a while. For Zhending Prefecture City, which had been uninhabited for a long time, it was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
The celebration banquet prepared by Governor Bai was very simple. After all, everyone in Jizhou was tightening their belts. Luo Tingshan didn't care. After a good night's rest, he directly asked Governor Bai about his future plans.
Bai Yi's brows relaxed. "I'll make all those Xiongnu people mine mines for me. Don't even think about living a good life for the rest of your life!"
Luo Tingshan naturally agreed to this.
People who have never been to the battlefield cannot understand the bloodiness and heaviness. Compared to those who died, being able to breathe a breath of fresh air is a mercy to them.
"What about the capital?"
He asked again.
Bai Yi was silent at this time. After a long while, he stood up and knelt down:
"I'm grateful that the great general didn't despise me. Even when the imperial court had given up on me, I still managed to save Jizhou from the dire straits. Bai Yi admires the great general's character and is willing to follow him to restore a stable life to the people as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Luo Tingshan was overjoyed: "Great!"
"Since Lord Bai is being frank, I will not hide anything. Lai Yuan will be escorted back to the capital soon. Jizhou is short of troops, so I will send Luo Huai to handle the aftermath. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with him!"
Bai Yi naturally heard that in this battle, it was General Luo’s second son, Luo Huai, who personally led the troops into battle and chopped off the head of the Xiongnu leader.
A good father will have a good son.
Bai Yi believed that he would not choose the wrong person.
…
"So, you conquered Bai Yi so smoothly?"
Zhu Mingqing is incredible.
Luo Tingshan smiled faintly: "Actually, as long as you can find out a person's inner weaknesses, it's not difficult to use them for your own benefit!"
"Do you know Bai Yi well?"
"Most of the credit for Bai Yi's current success goes to Pei Shangling. If it weren't for him protecting him, he would have resigned and returned home long ago."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhu Mingqing urged.
Luo Tingshan smiled and said, "Good. Bai Yi is an upright man, diligent in his work and caring for the people, but he's also quite idealistic. He always wants to clearly distinguish right from wrong, but things in this world can't be explained in just a few words."
"He came to Jizhou because he accidentally offended someone in the royal family before, so Pei Shangling wanted him to hide here, but he didn't expect that he would benefit us!"
"Now that he's disappointed with the imperial court, as long as we prescribe the right remedy, someone like Bai Yi, who has a clear distinction between love and hate, is the easiest to control!"
Luo Tingshan was halfway through his words when he looked up and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Zhu Mingqing shook his head: "Lao Luo, Lao Luo, I always thought you were simple-minded, but I didn't expect that you are as scheming as me."
Luo Tingshan couldn't help but laugh.
Is this a compliment or an insult?
"So now, is the city of Jizhou taken over so easily?"
Zhu Mingqing was still a little dazed.
Luo Tingshan said helplessly: "How can it be that easy? There are still many things to deal with later. Prince Huai is always a destabilizing factor."
Zhu Mingqing gave a thumbs up: "I believe in your ability."
As long as he is not cheated by the people he trusts, this guy has almost no rivals. As for Prince Huai, judging from his indifferent expression, it’s no big deal!
After the battle in Jizhou, the Luo family's intentions became clear.
Emperor Jiancheng was so angry that he fell ill.
I wanted to send someone to suppress it, but deep down I still had some concerns.
First, Dai Zeng and Xu Yan returned empty-handed.
Prince Huai, that old loach, did not take any action.
Furthermore, Cao Zeng, whom he believed would never betray him, surrendered to the Luo family.
Finally, there is Pei Shangling’s beloved disciple Bai Yi.
For every one he sent, he lost a man.
Weird!
The more Emperor Jiancheng thought about it, the angrier he became.
He just couldn't believe it. With a court full of civil and military officials and a million soldiers, how could Nanxia not be able to take down the Luo family?!
Especially, three days later.
A letter of accusation suddenly spread throughout the world.
This is all thanks to the children of the Little World Spirit.
One question is, does Emperor Jiancheng know his crime of condoning the Liang family's illegal copper mining and cruelty to the people?
Second question, the Third Prince sold the border map for his own selfish gain and conspired with General Chi Yan of the Yue State to kill 50,000 soldiers. When Emperor Jiancheng found out, he helped cover up the crime. Does he plead guilty?
The third question is, Nanxia was busy with wars and natural disasters and man-made disasters continued, but Emperor Jiancheng was busy with construction projects. How could a person without virtue and talent be worthy of being an emperor?
Rumors were everywhere among the people, and civil and military officials in the court discussed it privately, but no one dared to speak it in front of Emperor Jiancheng.
In the end, it was the third prince who noticed something was wrong. After learning about this, he immediately reported it to his father.
Emperor Jiancheng felt like his head was on fire and his hair was about to be burned.
"Father?" the Third Prince probed. "This incident must have been the work of the Luo family, but in just a few days, everyone in Southern Xia knew about it. Could it be that someone has been secretly betraying us?"
Emperor Jiancheng's eyes widened. "Investigate! Dig three feet into the ground to find him!"
But things ultimately disappointed them, but Emperor Jiancheng was so angry that he took advantage of the situation and secretly eliminated many enemies.
This caused the local order in Southern Xia to become increasingly chaotic.
The censor wrote a letter to urge that officials from all regions should be restrained, otherwise rituals and music would collapse and a catastrophe would come.
What Emperor Jiancheng hated to hear most at this moment was this sentence. What did it mean? Did it mean that the Luo family was destined to be the emperor?
In a rage, he chopped off the heads of several censors.
The court officials were dumbfounded.
No one in the capital dared to discuss it.
This is the first emperor who dared to kill the censor since the founding of Southern Xia.
As expected, it will definitely be passed down in history books.
Emperor Jiancheng regretted the killing, but it was too late to regret, so he could only blame all the problems on the culprit.
