The three of them followed Xiao Guizi into the main hall, bowed and saluted: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor, and my prince, a thousand lives!"
"Get up, all get up." Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily and praised without hesitation: "You did a good job this time, even better than we imagined!"
He is indeed happy. The enemy that has been there for decades is now destroyed. How can he not be happy?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The three of them stood up slowly.
Zhu Biao smiled gently and said, "You have worked hard all the way, so stop standing and sit down!"
"Xiao Guizi, notify the imperial kitchen to serve food."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Xiao Guizi bowed and exited the hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so happy that he grinned all the time. He pulled Lan Yu to sit next to him and said with admiration: "Lanyu, you are our Zhong Qing!"
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise." Lan Yu, who was rarely reserved, paused and said, "The reason why we were able to achieve such a great victory this time is that Li Qing helped a lot."
"Really?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Qing with a smile, nodded and said, "Sure enough, we saw the right person."
"Your Majesty, thank you." Li Qing clasped his fists and glanced at Lan Yu in surprise.
Lan Yu smiled back. He was not repaying kindness with kindness, but wanted to win over Li Qing and avoid Li Qing's support when Li Jinglong made a report later.
Lan Yu understood that he and Li Jinglong had too deep grudges and the other party would definitely sue him.
Sure enough, as if to verify what he was thinking, Li Jinglong lifted his robe and prostrated himself, not even waiting for the royal meal to be served.
"Your Majesty, I have something to advise you."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Get up and say, don't kneel down today. Say what you have to say."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Jinglong stood up, smiled maliciously at Lan Yu, and then pointed at him, "Your Majesty, you once said that you must respect the family members of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but Lan Yu insulted Concubine Yuan, which resulted in
Concubine Yuan committed suicide in shame and anger."
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly froze, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Li Qing, "Seriously?"
Lan Yu's heart tightened, and she quickly looked at Li Qing and winked secretly.
Li Qing didn't even look at it, clasped his fists and said, "Go back to the emperor, everything Cao Guogong said is true."
Sapphire:?
Seeing this, Zhu Biao frowned deeply. Just when he was about to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's have a drink today."
Er Li:??
"Your Majesty, I still have something to say to you." Li Jinglong was unwilling to give in. He had received so many beatings, and he couldn't swallow this breath unless the blue jade flew out.
"Say it."
"It's still Lan Yu." Li Jinglong said angrily, "Your Majesty, when the troops returned to Xifengkou, because the time had passed, the general who defended the city was unwilling to open the door, so he ordered the army to attack..."
"Li Jinglong, please don't spit out blood. When did I slap Xifeng in the mouth?" Lan Yu couldn't sit still. In front of the emperor, he didn't dare to do anything, so he could only use his mouth, "Li Qing, you
Come and comment."
"Li Qing, you have to keep your heart true!" Li Jinglong reminded.
"What's going on?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, "Li Qing, tell the truth."
Li Qing nodded and explained the situation at that time.
At this time, the smile on Lao Zhu's face completely disappeared. Attacking his own pass would be an exaggeration to say that he was usurping power and committing rebellion.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Lan Yu quickly bowed down and explained: "The winter night wind was biting, and the soldiers fought bloody battles. When they arrived at the door of their house, the general couldn't bear to let them sleep in the open air anymore, so he had a dispute with the general who defended the city, and he did not attack the city gate.
What a move!”
"It's not that you didn't fight, it's because Li Qing stopped you and you didn't succeed." Li Jinglong was determined to make Lan Yu suffer.
Zhu Biao looked angry: "Lanyu!"
"His Royal Highness, I... I really don't want to attack the pass, but I just want to scare the general who is guarding the city." Lan Yu refused.
Anyway, he really didn’t fight. As for whether he really wants to fight, it’s not up to him to say so.
At this moment, he really thanked Li Qing.
Li Jinglong quit, stood up angrily and said, "Lanyu, if you have the guts, just tell the truth."
"I'm telling the truth." Lan Yu said tit for tat.
"Okay, everyone, sit down!" Zhu Yuanzhang's face was neither sullen nor unhappy, but calm and frightening.
The two of them were shocked and quickly handed over their hands and confessed.
Looking at Lan Yu's secretly proud face, Li Jinglong became more and more angry as he thought about it. He cupped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, I still have something to say to you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed into the character "Chuan", "Blue jade again?"
"The Emperor's clear warning!"
"Huh~!" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Lan Yu and said, "Say."
Li Jinglong cupped his hands and said, "The reason why the Emperor's Northern Expedition took so long is because the army got lost, and the reason why it got lost is because Lan Yu abandoned the army and took more than 10,000 people deep into the desert, forcing the army to go to meet him.
.”
"Your Majesty, do you know?" Li Jinglong said with an angry face, "We were just a little bit close. The 150,000-strong army was about to be annihilated."
"Li Jinglong!" Lan Yu said angrily, "If I hadn't insisted on it, would we have been able to meet the main force of the Yuan army?
If it weren't for me, Bei Yuan would still be living a good life in the fishing sea, Emperor Bei Yuan would still be his Xiaoyao Emperor, and the disasters of the Ming Dynasty would still be there!"
"Don't put too much emphasis on your face. Is this the main force of Beiyuan you found?" Li Jinglong retorted, "It's Li Qing. It's Haidongqing who was shot by Li Qing."
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. The situation at that time was extremely dangerous. The morale of the army dropped to the freezing point. It could collapse at any time, or even blow up the camp. Thanks to Li Qing, the shaky military morale was stabilized."
Come down."
Lan Yu's face heated up, "Yes, it is indeed Li Qing who stabilized the morale of the army, but if it weren't for my commander's decision, how would he have encountered the main force of the Yuan army? The result is good, isn't it?"
After a pause, he sneered: "I commanded the army to completely defeat Beiyuan, and you didn't even mention it!"
Li Jinglong also sneered, "Did you fight the battle? The soldiers fought with their lives, how can it be your credit? Did you kill a Yuanren?"
Should I say it or not, what he said was indeed too harsh.
Lan Yu is arrogant and arrogant, and it is true that she has made big mistakes, but merit is merit and fault is fault.
This time the army was completely victorious, and his command played a vital role. As for the first contribution, he was definitely responsible for it.
But Li Jinglong's meanness went far beyond that. He sneered and said: "Oh, I forgot, Marshal Lan once killed Yuan Ren. He insulted Concubine Yuan and caused her to commit suicide in shame and anger. It can be regarded as indirectly killing a Yuan Ren!"
What does it mean to kill people and kill people's hearts? It's nothing more than this.
With this attack, Li Jinglong sprayed blue jade all over his pants. The expedition to Mobei was not as great as the achievements of a small soldier.
oops……!
Lan Yu has never been so angry in his life. His body was shaking uncontrollably and his heart was throbbing in pain. If he hadn't been in front of the emperor and the prince, he would have to twist off Li Jinglong's head.
Even so, I couldn't hide the look in my eyes that wanted to kill someone.
"Oh, Your Majesty, look, Lan Yu wants to kill me." Li Jinglong said sadly, with fear on his face, "Your Majesty, you don't know, I was beaten so badly by Lan Yu along the way!"
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears and said, "I was almost beaten to death several times. Li Qing can testify to this."
This time, Li Qing said nothing and looked directly at Lan Yu.
I saw Lan Jade's dark face getting redder and redder at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a red balloon that had been fully inflated and might explode at any time.
Li Qing hurriedly shouted: "Quick, Your Majesty, let someone get the silver needles for acupuncture."
As soon as he finished speaking, the trembling blue jade suddenly became hot and stagnated, and then said: "Pfft..."
The blood mist sprayed out five feet away, and Lan Yu spurted out a large mouthful of blood. Her flushed face immediately turned gray, she rolled her eyes and fell directly from the chair.
Zhu Yuanzhang had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed him, "Lanyu, Lanyu...!"
Even after shouting several times, Lan Yu didn't respond. Her eyes turned white and she was as angry as a thread.
"Infuriating" is not an adjective. When people are extremely angry and unable to vent, they may really be angry to death.
Right now, this is Sapphire's situation.
"Here, come and get the silver needle." Zhu Yuanzhang was a little panicked. Although Lan Yu had always been arrogant, he still had real abilities, and he was the assistant minister he left for his son. He didn't want Lan Yu to die like this, "
Li Qing, come and take a look."
Li Qing did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly stepped forward and put a hand on Lan Yu's wrist, then quickly picked up Lan Yu and placed it on the long table.
Lan Yu, who was in a coma, was still trembling all over, which showed how angry he was.
"How is it?" Zhu Biao asked nervously, "How is Lan Yu doing now?"
"It's very dangerous!" Li Qing said with a serious look on his face, "If you can save him, you just need to cultivate for a while. If you can't save him... then it will be over."
