Chapter 143: Beihai is pacified!
Li Qing naturally agreed with Bigan's suggestion, but thinking that he had to marry two women anyway, it would be easier to do the two things at once, so he immediately asked with a smile.
"This is a good move, killing two birds with one stone."
When Bigan heard this, he nodded and then stepped back.
"Your Majesty! I have a report!"
Bigan had just returned to his seat when another minister strode up to him.
Li Qing took a look and felt that the man looked very unfamiliar.
Name: Xiao Yin
Identity: Governor of Xilongguan in the Shang Dynasty, Governor of Yumenguan in the Shang Dynasty.
Strength: Golden Immortal (Level 9)
Magical weapons: gold and silver swords, fallen flower armor, white jade nails, gold foil, and silver pendants.
Kung Fu: The Golden and Silver Orthodox Technique.
Luck: 3
Immortal level evaluation: medium (level nine)
But as his information appeared, Li Qing immediately knew who this person was.
This is the governor of the two passes, who is a high-ranking official of the imperial court similar to the governor of the two provinces in the previous life.
Of course, he was not the general, because the general was still at the border of the Western Desert, killing barbarians and putting out fires and rescuing people.
The Western Desert is a barren land and there were few officials in the Shang Dynasty, so many officials held multiple positions. It was not uncommon for one person to serve as the governor of two passes.
Xiao Yin waved his robe sleeve, knelt down, and shouted, "Your Majesty, I implore you to send troops immediately! Rescue the Western Desert! Otherwise, the four passes, sixteen counties, and hundreds of towns in the Western Desert will be destroyed!"
"this."
For a moment, many officials were shocked, but Shang Rong and Bigan lowered their eyes, apparently they had known about this for a long time.
Li Qing frowned. How could he not know about this? But he had no soldiers! Even if he rushed over with 800 divine guards and Zhang Kui, the two passes were so vast, how could they put out the fires one by one? The Western Desert was not the snowy plains of the North Sea, where there was no chance for so many tribes of barbarians to gather at once.
"Prime Minister Shang, I wonder how many soldiers the Great Shang can mobilize?"
After thinking about it, Li Qing turned to look at Shang Rong and asked in a deep voice.
Shang Rong stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the Great Shang Dynasty currently has no more troops to send. We can only wait for the return of the million-strong army from the Northern Sea Snowfield."
"Is it really impossible to mobilize any troops from other places? I only need 100,000!"
When Li Qing heard this, he clenched his fists, slammed the table, and asked loudly.
"Your Majesty, the Great Shang is now surrounded by enemies. The army stationed at the border must not be deployed at all. Otherwise, if another border pass is breached, the Great Shang will be in a desperate situation!"
Shang Rong sighed, shook his head and spoke in a deep voice.
Xiao Yin's face instantly turned pale. He collapsed to his knees and shouted, "The Western Desert Border is finished! Eight million miles have been reduced to scorched earth! Hundreds of millions of people have been slaughtered!"
Li Qing's forehead veins bulged for a moment, and he stood up suddenly, deciding to ignore everything and go to the Western Desert with only the 800 divine guards, Zhang Kui and others!
But at this moment.
"Ding! All seventy-one tribes of the North Sea have been annihilated, the Snow Tribe has surrendered, the hidden mission has been completed, the North Sea Snow Plain has been pacified, and the hidden mission reward has been obtained: a perfect synthesis talisman."
"Ding, the North Sea Snowfield has been pacified, and the Great Shang's national fortune has increased by five points.
"Ding, the Human Emperor's attribute points increased by two."
"Ding, the Human Emperor's Tyranny Technique advances to the Holy King's Tyrant!"
Suddenly, a system prompt sound came to Li Qing's ears!
Of the seventy-two tribes in the North Sea, except for the Snow Tribe who surrendered, the other seventy-one tribes were completely wiped out!
"good!"
Li Qing couldn't help but screamed!
"ah?"
This applause made Xiao Yin, who was kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down his face, burp. He looked up at his king, his tearful face full of surprise.
The other ministers also looked at Li Qing in confusion.
Is the King having another attack? Hundreds of millions of his people have perished, and eight million miles of his territory have been devastated! And you're actually cheering? Are you crazy?
"Well."
For a moment, under the suspicious gazes of more than a hundred ministers, coupled with Xiao Yin's somewhat bewildered eyes, Li Qing reacted in a moment, quickly waved his hand, and laughed dryly, "That's not what I meant!"
After saying this, Li Qing stood up and laughed heartily, "I applaud because I just received news that Grand Tutor Wen has completely pacified Beihai! I declare! From today on! The rebellion in the Beihai Snow Plains is over!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood what was going on. Over a hundred officials bowed and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, may your majesty be mighty! May the great Shang Dynasty be mighty!"
Xiao Yin, on the other hand, said with a look of surprise, "Great! Great! Doesn't that mean the Grand Tutor will be returning to the court soon?!"
"Report!"
Just as Xiao Yin finished speaking, a loud roar suddenly came from outside the hall.
At the entrance of Wanshou Hall, accompanied by a long report, a general with a command flag on his back suddenly rushed in!
Order the troops urgently, no one can stop them, and they have the right to appear before the emperor!
"Your Majesty! All seventy-two tribes of the North Sea Snow Plains, with the exception of the Snow Tribe, have been pacified! The army has seized cattle, sheep, and supplies numbering in the billions. Grand Tutor Wen has dispatched a vanguard of two hundred thousand men, who have already reached Bailing Pass! They will be back in half a day at most!"
The general rushed straight to Li Qing and knelt down in an instant. His voice was like a loud bell, resounding throughout the court.
“As expected!”
“It’s true!”
"God bless the Shang Dynasty!"
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay!"
"How wonderful! How wonderful!"
When Li Qing heard the messenger's shout, he felt calm, but those ministers exploded in an instant!
They thought that what His Majesty said before was just to boost morale, so they complimented him but did not believe it in their hearts, or perhaps they did not believe it that much. After all, the North Sea is nearly 100 million miles away, and it would take the army 15 days to travel day and night. But His Majesty has only been back for three days, so how could he know the battle report from the front?
But now, after they actually heard the good news from the messenger, all the worry, depression, and anxiety in their hearts burst out!
In the hall, all the important officials were so happy that they almost lost themselves in joy. They even wanted to sing and dance!
Seeing this, Li Qing smiled slightly but did not say anything to stop him.
However, all the ministers were gentlemen and very calm, so their arrogance only lasted for a short while before they gradually regained their composure. However, the joy in their eyes lingered for a long time.
At this point, Li Qing finally smiled, then looked at the messenger general in front of the hall and said with a smile: "General Zhou, you have worked hard. Please get up and go to rest."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The messenger general named Zhou immediately stood up, bowed to Li Qing, and then dragged his tired body and left the hall.
"My dear ministers, is there any truth in what I said?"
Then, Li Qing smiled and looked at the hundreds of ministers and asked.
For a moment, the ministers looked at each other, then all prostrated themselves, shouting, "Your Majesty, your majesty is boundless and your blessings to the Shang Dynasty will last forever!"
This time, it was truly sincere.
