Chapter 127 Shocking the Government and the People
The battle was so brutal that the news of the annihilation of the entire army quickly spread to various tribes on the grassland. No one could believe their ears.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
Aqina grabbed the messenger soldier like a madman.
"The leader, the leader has, has gone!"
After saying that, she started to cry.
The Uighur tribe suffered a heavy blow, and the people taken out this time were all young and strong men in the tribe.
The great wizard was almost fainted by the sudden news.
Everyone was horrified: "Master, Master, please take care of yourself. The tribe still needs you!"
"Heaven wants to destroy our Huihe clan!"
Everyone was plunged into grief. Aqitu's wife grabbed Aqina like a madman and angrily scolded:
"It's all your fault, Aqina! You killed my husband and the hope of our entire family!"
"It's all because you wanted to avenge your son that you are in this situation! You are such a selfish person, you don't deserve to stay in the Huihe tribe. You are a sinner to the entire tribe!"
Aqina's body trembled. She actually became the sinner of the entire clan?
She just wanted revenge. Why did God treat her like this? Her husband, son, and brother were all killed by the Dayin people!
She roared like a madman, trying to shout out all the resentment and hatred in her heart.
But the people around her only had deep hatred for her, and no one sympathized with her.
When Batelle received the news, he was so shocked that he was unable to recover.
Bateli, who was standing next to him, knew that Rongye was powerful, but he was surprised to find that Rongye was so powerful that he could kill all the people brought by Hal and Aqitu in such a short time.
"Second brother, it's a good thing I didn't go with them this time, otherwise..."
Bataille said blankly, "I didn't expect that they would all be killed!"
Bartelli knew that now was the best time, and he advised:
"If you ask me, it's best for us to continue interacting with Dayin as before. The tribe just wants to have food to eat. We can only last long if we don't fight. What do you think, second brother?"
Batelle didn't say anything, but his silence showed that his third brother was right.
On Rongye's side, Nie Shaoli and the people he brought suffered heavy casualties.
Rongye has already submitted a letter to the court.
Nie Shaoli must return to Beijing. If he dies here, it will be difficult to explain.
"Master, the letter has been sent."
"Well, tell the doctors to save the man."
Rong Ye thought about it, and reluctantly took out two Lingquan beads from his purse. He hesitated for a long time before handing them to Rong Yi.
"Nie Shaoli and Liang Yuan, each feed one."
Although Nie Shaoli is annoying, he deserves to be given a bead because he didn't escape in the face of danger.
Rong Yi took it respectfully and looked at the transparent bead in his palm, "As you wish."
Rong Ye didn't know whether the beads could save their lives. If they couldn't be saved after eating them, then it wouldn't be his fault.
The weather this year was not as cold as in previous years. Lord Zhang and a group of ministers were waiting in the warm room next to the main hall for the court session.
A young eunuch hurriedly opened the curtain from outside and rushed in. A gust of cold wind made the drowsy person at the door shiver.
The young eunuch said respectfully, "The Lord has an urgent letter for you."
"Bring it here."
During the morning court session, Lord Zhang stood in front of the hall with a gloomy look on his face.
The emperor, however, seemed to be the same as before, and didn't know about this matter.
As usual, Eunuch Changxi shouted, "If you have anything to report, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
Zhang Gelao rarely submitted memorials. Today, he stepped out with a heavy face and said, "I have a memorial to submit."
Zhang Ge Lao is a veteran of three dynasties and has great prestige. The emperor respects him very much.
Rong Yu saw that the old man had a letter and said solemnly, "I wonder what you want to report?"
Zhang Gelao was thin and had a dignified voice. He recited the contents of the letter sent that morning, word for word: "Before I went to court, I received news that the barbarians gathered 100,000 troops the day before yesterday and attacked the border..."
Before Zhang Gelao could finish his words, Rong Yu was so frightened that he stood up and interrupted him:
Zhang Ge Lao looked at the panicked emperor with his eyes narrowed slightly.
He continued, “General Fubei nearly died under the swords and spears of the barbarians while fighting them.
In the critical moment, the Prince of Liang fought hard to save General Nie's life. Now he is seriously injured and unconscious. I beg Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible."
Rong Yu excitedly stood up from the dragon throne and questioned Zhang Gelao:
"Isn't Rong Ye poisoned and unconscious? How can he lead the troops?"
Zhang Ge Lao was disheartened to see that the emperor was so narrow-minded and that the Prince of Liang was still suspected despite his efforts to rescue him.
"I don't know how the King of Liang has fared, but I think it's a good thing. This time, the King of Liang annihilated 100,000 barbarian soldiers, and none of his troops were killed or wounded!"
As soon as Lord Zhang finished speaking, there were gasps in the hall.
No one was injured or killed. Anyone who has led troops understands the weight of this sentence.
This is simply a divine general!
Seeing the emperor's pale face, Nie Hai hurried out and asked, "Is the news from the elder minister true?"
"Don't worry, Lord Nie. You may receive the news after you leave the court.
Your son's condition is worrying right now. Doctors in the north aren't as good as those in the capital. I suggest bringing your son back as soon as possible is the most important thing!"
When Nie Hai heard this, his body shook. He knew that the emperor's decision to send Shao Li to the northern border would not be a good one. Sure enough, something went wrong.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to arrange for Shao Li's return. I will take my leave."
Rong Yu felt a little guilty, and didn't dare look at his uncle standing below. He nodded and said, "Permitted. Shao Li must be brought back as soon as possible. You should also bring a few imperial doctors with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nie Hai hurriedly left the hall with a gloomy expression.
No one in the hall dared to speak. Everyone kept their heads bowed. It was so quiet that even the slightest breathing could be heard.
When the emperor issued the decree before, they thought he was looking for trouble. Now that this incident has happened, the emperor has lost all his face and dignity.
Rong Yu sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face, looking at the people below.
He felt that the air was full of ridicule towards him.
Rong Yu left without a word. Even Eunuch Chang Xi didn't react. He glanced at the ministers standing blankly below and shouted hurriedly:
Then he trotted after him.
Seeing that the emperor was so biased, Zhang Ge Lao couldn't help but sigh.
An old minister seemed to have something to say. He slowly came over and said worriedly, "Lord, what should we do?"
Zhang Ge Lao looked at the sky outside the hall and walked out first: "Let's go."
His thoughts gradually returned to the morning.
He received a letter from Rong Ye this morning and was shocked after reading the content.
He knew that the emperor's original decree was simply nonsense, but he was old and the emperor would not listen to anything he said.
On the contrary, Rong Ye has taken root and grown step by step in the northern border over the years, and has now grown into a towering tree.
When Rong Ye came to him, he knew that Prince Liang would become a great man in the future. Now his advice has paid off.
In fact, the news had already reached the Empress Dowager's palace before the Emperor left the court.
When she heard the news, she was so scared that she broke the Buddhist beads she had been using for years to worship Buddha.
"Empress Dowager, are you okay?"
Seeing the broken beads scattered all over the floor, Nanny Chang quickly waved for someone to pick them up.
"It's nothing, just break it. I've been twisting this rosary for over ten years, and it's time to replace it."
She said worriedly, "Such a big thing happened this time. I don't know how Shaoli is doing."
"General Nie will surely be blessed by the Bodhisattva. Your Majesty, please do not worry too much and be careful not to hurt yourself."
The Queen Mother looked at the sky outside the palace wall and murmured:
"Brother, have you already set off?"
