Chapter 106(1/2)
"The emperor is a young man's character. He still has to bring the queen together when he goes to the battlefield. How can there be no trouble?"
"The empress is the mother of a country, and she should have been responsible for admonishment. Whatever the emperor wants, she will follow her. How can that happen?"
"What's the best now?"
Everyone talked angrily and heartily.
However, at this moment, Kong Fengcheng became strangely calmed down.
Putting aside the momentary excitement, he looked at General Dong Shen quietly.
Kong Fengcheng knew that among the several generals who followed the emperor to personally fight, there were people from the Li family, and there should be people from the King of Yue... There were not only General Dong Shen, who had other thoughts. But why was he the only one who returned?
But General Dong Shen dared to report this way, which means he was sure that the emperor had died...
For a moment, all my thoughts were tied.
Kong Fengcheng couldn't help but frown.
"General Dong, I dare not lie about this... I dare not lie! Do you know what you are talking about?" someone shouted sternly.
Then General Dong Shen wiped his face, slowly raised his head, and met the scrutinized eyes of everyone: "I am willing to bet on my life, and there is no false statement!"
The room fell into a dead silence for a moment.
General Dong Shen breathed lightly without any trace. What he feared most was that he came back to the capital, and this statement could not be hidden from the people in front of him. But if the emperor was gone, no one would care about the true or false statement. General Dong Shen felt that the pressure on his shoulders was lighter after thinking about this.
The one who broke the silence was a trotted official. He arrived outside the door and did not step into the door, nor waited to breathe evenly, and said, "The news comes from the border town... urgently report!"
"We all know." Kong Fengcheng said in a deep voice.
The official was stunned and said, "Yes... But the soldiers in the border town have just arrived at the city gate..."
"What do you think of someone coming?" This time it was the Li family who spoke out.
The official swallowed and said, "People come and say, "There is a great victory in the border town..."
General Dong Shen raised his head suddenly: "Which victory is the best?"
The people in the room were also in a strange silence.
They looked at General Dong and then at the official.
"Does that person have a token?"
“There are…there are waist cards.”
General Dong Shen frowned: "The waist card is nothing. I'm afraid that someone will make a fake news..."
No one responded to what General Dong Chan said for a moment.
Since such a change has occurred, it means that one of them is lying. They are all old foxes, so how could they easily express their opinions at such a time and just stand in the line?
The official was still standing outside the door. He closed his sleeves and said tremblingly: "Is it true or false? You sir should see clearly and clearly than the villain. Why not call people here directly? You will know it once you ask..."
"Not bad." Someone responded at this time.
Kong Fengcheng said: "Bring people here."
Then the rest of the people spoke out: "Bring someone up and ask first."
General Dong Shen's face changed slightly.
Even though he knew that this matter would not be a mistake, he still felt nervous after all such an accident.
He was able to sit in his current position because there was no one in the army. He would not have the ability to do so.
Just doing this matter has taken his great courage and energy...
After giving the order, the rest of the people had recovered from peace. At this time, no one was willing to reveal any emotion easily.
Just as General Dong Shen was half kneeling on the ground, his legs and feet were numb, the official came over with a dusty soldier. The armor on the soldier looked dirty and old, and looked like a dusty face. General Dong Shen thought to himself, looking at this beggar-like dress, it was unreliable at first glance. If these adults had eyes, they would not believe him.
General Dong Shen knew that after seeing this soldier, everyone couldn't help but look at him, and then looked at the soldier for a second and then compared it in this way.
The soldier is much more embarrassed than General Dong Shen.
If he was really defeated again and the emperor was in danger of being poisoned, how could General Dong Shen still be so neat?
Shouldn't it be even more miserable than the appearance of this soldier?
No matter what, General Dong Shen can't escape the blame.
Everyone lowered their eyes and thoughts were unanimous.
As for those who secretly belong to the same faction as General Dong Shen, they all kept silent.
Kong Fengcheng looked at the soldier first and said, "Are you going back to the imperial city to pass the emperor's order?"
"Yes! A great victory in the border city! The emperor has seized three cities in a row and has taken back Yuecheng, Xiangcheng, and Baocheng! He has captured the territory of the Mumuhan tribe along the way, first killing Wulihan, and then killing Hu Sile, the king of Mumuhan!... Now, the emperor is on his way back, and I think he will arrive at the imperial city in less than two days!" The soldier said quickly while panting.
General Dong Shen was frozen there.
Everyone stopped looking at him at this time.
They were all shocked by the soldiers' words.
A great victory?
Kill Ulihan and Husler?
Not only did he take back the three cities of Danzhou, but he also captured the territory within the Mumuhan tribe?
For a moment, everyone was in a trance.
Decades have passed, and the new emperor is still young. He wants to lead the army in person. Everyone thinks he is impatient to take power. Who would have thought that he could really take back the lost city and conquer Mumuhan in one fell swoop and intimidate the world?
There was no sound in the room for a long time.
No one could ask the soldier at this time whether it was true or false.
The soldier held his breath and took two careful breaths.
He was also confused.
Why don’t you show any joy on your face like this? They are all very stable?
After a while, Kong Fengcheng spoke again: "I'll ask you all to rest here for the time being."
Of course, everyone had no objection to this.
Doesn’t anyone jump out to object at this time? Doesn’t that mean that he has a disagreement?
Cold sweat fell from General Dong Shen's forehead.
But things have reached this point, and he can only grit his teeth and say, "This person is clearly lying..."
In fact, if General Dong Shen had not heard the news first, the emperor would be in danger of poisoning. They would have been shocked and dared not believe it when they heard the soldiers' good news. But because General Dong Shen and the soldiers were both speaking, the credibility of the soldiers was actually increased.
General Dong Chen was secretly anxious and thinking about some way to defend himself and escape, Kong Fengcheng walked to the door and whispered a few instructions.
Soon, the place was surrounded and no one was allowed to enter and exit easily.
All the ministers in this room have a good status, but it is precisely because they are enemies of each other that they will keep a close eye on each other and will never give them a chance to make small moves.
After half a month of happiness, General Dong Shen finally ushered in his extremely tormented moment.
This wait takes seven days.
Everyone handled affairs here, and they were all in the same yard, and no one was in charge of serving each other. After a few days, everyone was a little haggard, but General Dong Shen was the most haggard.
His face turned gray and his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his whole body seemed to have been drained from his energy.
General Dong Shen doesn’t think the emperor can come back alive!
He has seen the poison of Tianzi Kingdom. Once he was hit, who can escape?
But being trapped here and unable to convey any news, it made him more anxious day by day. The feeling of being hung up and unable to get to the ground was really tormenting.
"Sir." Someone came outside the door, swallowed his saliva, and then said smoothly: "The army...the army is back! The emperor's carriage has arrived outside the city gate..."
Kong Fengcheng, who had always been as stable as an old dog, couldn't help but jump up: "What are you still standing there? Ministry of Rites!"
The Minister of Rites immediately bowed and said, "It's already ready, just go to the city gate to welcome the emperor..."
Everyone hurriedly put their pens and ink, got up and walked out.
When everyone heard the emperor's carriage, he felt relieved. Not to mention anything else, at least he didn't have to stay here to suffer anymore. Most of them are not young anymore. They are used to serving servants and maids on weekdays, and they always have to take Changsui around them... Now when they are here, they are all like ascetics, who can bear it?
General Dong Shen naturally didn't believe that the emperor was back.
He gritted his teeth and followed.
No one noticed him at this time. Everyone went out together and then prepared and immediately went to the city gate.
Outside the city gate.
Xiao Yi had already taken Yang Yao'er and changed into a carriage that the emperor could only use.
The carriage was very spacious, but it was probably used to leaning in his arms. Yang Yaoer couldn't help but go into his arms when she fell asleep. She immediately pulled away and sat next to the little tea desk on the side, looking at the books brought by Xiao Yi, memorizing two words that she could recognize, and only when she couldn't recognize him was thought of him again.
It was called Xiao Yi's heart, which was funny and indescribable.
But after thinking about it, if my youngest person relies on him like this, he will be unable to do anything from now on.
To be continued...
