Li Zuoyi observed the words and expressions and secretly guessed what he meant, but found that the emperor seemed to have a pity to show off.
It can be inferred from this that His Majesty is quite content with Fusang's retreat.
Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, you will follow up with a few flattering words, otherwise, you do not understand the "style" of officialdom.
"Your Majesty, Fusang retreated because he knew what was going on. He must be afraid of my power towards the sky, so he didn't dare to act rashly."
"What Li Zongzheng said is true!"
"Whoops! My emperor's virtue spreads all over the world. In Weijiayu, who dares to challenge the thieves from all over the world? Fusang boy dares to risk the disapproval of the world and raise unjust troops to invade our country, but he still wants to swallow the elephant with a snake. How dare he?
Is it ridiculous? Fortunately, they realized what they were doing and ran away, otherwise, I, Kunpeng Navy, would have dealt heavy losses to them!"
"..."
The emperor was very happy when he was photographed, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Gee, I haven’t been this happy for a long time~~
After his ears were comfortable, the emperor smiled and said: "Fusang is afraid of the power of our holy dynasty. This is only one of the reasons. In addition, there is another reason."
Li Zuoyi seemed surprised and asked: "This second one? What is it?"
"Do you know, gentlemen, that this game in the East China Sea was aided by the Great Bay Navy?"
"Great Bay Navy?"
The emperor nodded, then stopped and did not continue speaking.
Regarding this matter, he just planned to tell half of it and leave the other half, only expressing his knowledge but not going into details.
Why is this?
Let’s listen to his analysis.
This official document is very clear, and it is also very clear that Qiongzhou's Dawan Navy followed Qi Yu's order and unexpectedly attacked the Fusang Kingdom's lair in an unreasonable manner.
The Fuso Army, which was marching eastward, immediately turned its ship around after hearing the news and quickly retreated for rescue.
The result was surprising. There was no expected fight between the two armies, it was just a false alarm.
Yes!
After wandering around for a while, the Dawan navy returned directly without even firing a shot. Naturally, the retreating Fuso army also missed the opportunity, and ended up with the embarrassment of returning without success.
From a strategic point of view, Qi Yu's move was quite similar to that of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao in ancient times.
Although the Dawan Army did not fire a single shot or fire a single cannon from beginning to end, it played a decisive role in the entire battle.
This sudden surprise attack directly resolved the siege of the East China Sea. Qi Yu's use of troops was indeed a skill.
Objectively speaking, in this war without gunpowder, he could take the first place. However, the emperor did not want to recognize his contribution, so he did not intend to go into details.
If he admits it, he will be routinely rewarded or promoted to a higher rank. These are things he really doesn't want to see.
However, this matter must be mentioned, otherwise it will appear that the monarch is ignorant and ignorant, and does not know right from wrong. If you say half of it and leave half of it, you can just perfunctory it.
Li Zuoyi and others didn't know the inside story, and were about to break the casserole and ask for the truth. Suddenly they saw the Holy Emperor wave his hand and said lazily: "I'm a little tired. Please step aside."
Uh, is this the end?
All the officials looked at me and I looked at you. They all looked at a loss and even forgot to kneel down.
As a representative, Li Zuoyi had no choice but to ask: "Your Majesty, regarding the Qi Yin family, should they be imprisoned? Or not?"
The emperor waved his hand directly and said: "There is no need to ask, of course I won't accept it!"
"Don't accept it?"
"Um!"
Just kidding, someone has just made a great contribution in front of you, and you locked up his wife in the back. Aren’t you taking the initiative to seek scolding?
In addition, Qi Yu's military power is stronger than he imagined, so when dealing with sensitive issues, don't provoke him if you can.
What? More powerful than imagined?
Yes!
For example, this little-known Great Bay Army.
Before this, it had no special sense of existence, but now it suddenly appeared and made the Fuso Army feel fearful. This shows that this army is by no means a ragtag group.
Based on the above considerations, the emperor resolutely gave up the idea of imprisoning Yin Tao. Even if others put pressure on him, he must withstand it.
Qi Yu naturally didn't know that the long-range surprise attack he commanded to besiege Wei and rescue Zhao indirectly resolved the siege of his own wife.
Perhaps, this is the so-called good reward for good people.
Li Zuoyi was not a brainless fool. By connecting things in succession, he figured out the outline. After weighing the matter, he also understood and approved the emperor's approach.
In principle, he still takes the overall situation into consideration, because this is the territory of their Li family.
If the foundation of the country is really shaken, no one will be able to reap the benefits.
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Just as the royal family members left, Wu Wanrong ran in after them.
He had the same idea. He desperately hoped that the murderer Qi Yin could be punished.
It is better to pay for life with death.
However, this time, the emperor did not give him face.
And, he directly issued a warning: "Since it was a manslaughter, what crime can be committed? What's more, Wei Zeng was the one who committed the theft first, so his death is deserved, and it is none of other people's business?"
"But……"
"Nothing to worry about, just do it!"
Wu Wanrong was confused. He couldn't understand why His Majesty suddenly and abnormally protected the Qi family.
However, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
If it makes His Majesty unhappy, then it will be a big deal.
It’s not worth it for a dead Wei Zeng!
When the emperor saw that he was not replying, he picked up his ink pen and wrote instructions on the notes of Shuntian Prefecture Yin.
The general idea is: big things are reduced to small things, small things are reduced to small things.
Judging from the surface of the matter, it seems that the emperor intended to protect Qi Yu, but in fact, it was because of the grudge caused by the sudden move of the Dawan Army that he made a concession.
Naturally, the original vigilance became even worse.
…
With the Fuso Army retreating, the imperial court was finally free to focus on disaster relief.
Therefore, the transmission of disaster information is faster and more efficient than before.
However, to the emperor's surprise, what came first was not the news of disaster relief, but Qi Yu's memorial to impeach the governor of Huguang.
"What? The Huguang government troops blocked the river to rob? Are they coveting Qiongzhou's disaster relief supplies?"
"Isn't this... a deliberate attempt to enrich the country?"
Bang!
Emperor Long Yan was furious and slapped his palm heavily on the case.
But who would have expected that before a decision could be made, the governor of Huguang would also give in one after another.
Letter: Qi Yu, the governor of Qiongzhou, went on a rampage with his troops and massacred his colleagues. Without severe punishment, it is not enough to enforce the law, so let’s hope for the same.
Eh?
Why are they still biting each other?
The emperor touched his brow and thought to himself: Of these two people, who is telling the truth?
Also, how should this matter be handled?
Qi Yu is not only providing money for disaster relief, but also sending troops to solve the siege of the East China Sea. It can be said that he has made great achievements with his hard work. What if he issues an order at this juncture and gives up his job?
So, don’t criticize too much!
But if we don’t rebuke, how can we balance it?
Hey! Got it!
Let them bite each other and defend each other, and I will just be an ordinary spectator who pretends to be confused. Isn't it great?
As a result, Qi Yu is bound to be isolated by his colleagues, which also eliminates the possibility of him taking advantage of this opportunity to form a clique for personal gain.
