Ever since Minister Lu came forward, the atmosphere in the court suddenly changed, and everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Even if there were some people who secretly had other thoughts, after knowing that everything was Emperor Wenyuan's "plan", they all put their thoughts aside.
After all, they were also afraid that they would be the fish caught by Emperor Wenyuan.
For a while, the entire Mo Dynasty showed unprecedented unity and faced the outside world in unison. However, in just half a month, the news of victory came back.
"Victory? Are all the Xiongnu wolf soldiers really dead?"
"Yes, they were all killed. Only one-third of the Xiongnu army was left. Prince Yang led his troops in pursuit for three days and three nights, slaughtering them completely and forcing them to flee into the heart of the desert before withdrawing..."
"Okay, okay!"
Haha, great, let’s see how arrogant the Xiongnu can be from now on…”
Another month passed.
The good news of Ancheng's victory also came back.
"The Barbarian Imperial Palace was dug up from the rear by the Marquis of Zhenbei. The entire Barbarian royal family was annihilated, and the Barbarian King's head was chopped off. Upon hearing the news, the Barbarian army's morale plummeted. Within just a dozen days, they were routed and forced to retreat."
"Well done!"
"This Zhenbei Marquis is really great, haha..."
The whole court was filled with joyful laughter of victory.
However, no matter what time, these bad apples always exist. When everyone was happy about these things, someone would come out and say, "Didn't the Zhenbei Marquis swear before that he didn't mobilize 20,000 personal soldiers? Now I heard that the Zhenbei Marquis didn't mobilize any troops at all, and directly brought 20,000 personal soldiers from the suburbs and went straight to Ancheng. This is really a confession."
Anyone who says these things at this time is really stupid.
So many people turned to look at the person who was speaking.
It was Xu Chang, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was also one of the people who had flattered Emperor Wenyuan before.
By the way, no one has bothered them these days.
on the contrary.
Emperor Wenyuan, who had been seriously ill recently, summoned them for some unknown reason.
Of course, not many people know about it.
But those who heard the news were still a little surprised. At this time, Xu Chang said these words, and smart people smelled something.
Is Emperor Wenyuan...going to burn his bridges again?
Everyone knew in the past that Emperor Wenyuan was wary of the Yang family. Later, Yang Tiejiang handed over his military power, and only then did he gain the favor of Emperor Wenyuan. But now that Yang Tiejiang has taken back the military power and has made such great contributions, I am afraid that his status will be even more important than it is now.
In addition, the eldest son of the Yang family repelled the Huns.
There was also the fact that during this battle, Duke Yang of Qi directly opened his warehouse and donated military fodder and other supplies to battlefields in all directions.
That good reputation is not just among the people.
Which soldier in the army today doesn’t know Duke Yang of Qi?
In terms of this contribution, it is triple! !
However, not long after, another piece of good news came.
"What? General Yang Yueqi is not dead? He even blew up the entire Fusang Kingdom? How is this possible..."
Everyone was surprised to hear the news.
After all, Yang Yueqi had died in battle five years ago, and his head was chopped off in public by the State of Qi. He was only later named the General of Protecting the Country.
But now the good news has come, saying that Yang Yueqi is not dead.
Everyone in the court was shocked.
At this time, Xu Chang and others jumped out again, and their general meaning was that the Yang family concealed the fact that Yang Yueqi was not dead, harbored evil intentions, and deceived the emperor.
The hat gets bigger the more you put it on.
Many people were speechless after hearing this, but some people actually agreed with the proposal.
Until a sneer was heard.
After the war with the five countries, Yang Huaijin resumed attending court, but he was very low-key and hardly showed up in recent days.
Even after hearing what Xu Chang said last time, he didn't say a word.
But today he laughed out loud.
When everyone heard his laughter, they all looked at him.
Xu Chang and the others also looked at him with obvious contempt and disdain: "What are you laughing at!"
"That's right. If you weren't guilty, why would you hide the news that Yang Yueqi was alive? I heard that you even shipped several ships of gunpowder. That's important military supplies, and the Ministry of War records every single one of them."
"How much gunpowder is needed to blow up an island in Fuso?"
"If you didn't harbor evil intentions, how could you have secretly produced so much gunpowder? This matter must be reported to His Majesty, who will make the final decision."
Xu Chang and others spoke one by one, each with a righteous tone.
Yang Huaijin looked at them with a smile and sat over.
Next second.
He took off his shoes and slapped Xu Chang's mouth with the soles of his shoes. There was a loud bang and a loud noise.
Xu Chang's mouth was hit so hard that it started bleeding.
"ah!"
Xuchang screamed in pain.
However, this was just the beginning. Next, the few people who had just spoken with Xu Chang each took out a shoe sole.
The hatred of taking action.
Almost one blow from the sole of a shoe drew blood.
After the beating, they took turns to attack again, which made Xu Chang and others so angry that they cursed loudly. In the end, they were scared of being beaten and hid behind others.
"It's a rebellion, a rebellion..."
"You, you are so presumptuous! You don't even take the emperor into consideration..."
Yang Huaijin sneered and pulled out a bright yellow scroll from his bosom. He unfolded it and held it aloft, saying, "Open your eyes and see clearly. It clearly states that the Emperor has long known that my eldest brother is not dead, and has secretly entrusted him with an important task and sent him to secretly lead the troops."
What?
Everyone looked at the yellow scroll in Yang Huaijin's hand.
"It is stamped with the imperial seal, so it is indeed an imperial edict." Because Lord Li was standing close, he could see the seal clearly at a glance.
Since Lord Li had spoken, it was natural that others would not doubt him.
"impossible!"
"Your Majesty clearly said..."
"Just say it?" Yang Huaijin looked at Xu Chang sharply, as if waiting for him to say the rest of the story.
But how could Xuchang dare to say it? Moreover, Emperor Wenyuan hadn't said it directly at the time, but only hinted at it. How could he say such a hint? Even if he did say it, it wouldn't be Emperor Wenyuan's exact words...
Xu Chang and others looked pale.
Yang Huaijin sneered and said loudly: "This is a secret order."
"Your Majesty has already laid out this plan to deal with the Five Kingdoms. If my eldest brother hadn't already completed the task, how could I dare to reveal this secret order? And how could I dare to speak it publicly?"
"We in the Yang family are dedicated to our country, and everyone is still on the battlefield. But you..." Yang Huaijin pointed angrily at Xu Chang and the others, "What have you done? You didn't do anything. Instead, after my father and brother defeated the enemy, you started throwing mud at them, accusing them of deceiving the emperor."
"What? Do you think that all of us Yang family members are easy to bully because we don't have mouths? Or do you think that just because you have big mouths, you can talk nonsense and spit shit here at random?"
