The palace is a place with the strictest rules, but at this time, the eunuch didn't care about the rules and trotted directly to Li Lingxuan.
"Your Majesty, an urgent military report from the Sixth Prince!"
The chief eunuch held a small bamboo tube and handed it to Li Lingxuan.
The Southern Expedition was the most important thing for the party at the moment. Li Lingxuan didn't have time to care about the eunuch's rudeness, so he immediately put down the memorial, took the bamboo tube, and poured out a small note from it.
After Jin Feng invented the pencil, it not only became extremely popular in Sichuan and Sichuan, but also came to Dangxiang with the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce.
Because pencils are easy to carry and cheap to make, they soon became popular among Dangxiang scholars.
The weight that pigeons can carry is limited, so when flying pigeons pass messages, the smaller the letters, the better.
This letter was written with a pencil, and only a sharpened pencil can write such small words.
In order to explain the matter clearly, the words on the note were written too small, and Li Lingxuan had to get very close to see them clearly.
After reading only two lines, Li Lingxuan's eyes narrowed.
The first two lines of the note did not write about the transport team, but about the Heiyun tribe ambushing Jin Feng.
In fact, after the battle at Luolinggou, Li Lingrui sent people to the capital to deliver the battle report.
But this is not a glorious thing, and it has already happened. Li Lingrui did not activate the flying pigeon to deliver the letter, but sent someone to ride back to deliver the letter.
The mountains are covered with heavy snow, but where are the war horses and pigeons flying fast?
So this is the first time Li Lingxuan knows about Luolinggou.⑧①ZW.????m
In Li Lingxuan's opinion, if 10,000 people from the Black Cloud Tribe ambushed a thousand people from Jin Feng, they would not fail no matter what.
If Jin Feng dies, the Southern Expedition will be more than half won!
Thinking of this, Li Lingxuan couldn't help but look forward to it, and quickly continued reading.
But after reading two more lines, the expectation on Li Lingxuan's face disappeared, replaced by disbelief and anger!
He really didn't expect that Jin Feng would send people to ambush Luolinggou before the Black Cloud tribe and launch a counterattack.
Instead of killing Jin Feng, the Black Cloud Tribe lost 10,000 elites!
For any tribe, ten thousand elites are a force that cannot be ignored.
Although the Black Cloud Tribe is a large tribe, the loss of 10,000 people is also a fatal blow.
Thinking of this, Li Lingrui couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with a headache.
Although Dangxiang does not have as high a pension requirement as the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, he cannot do nothing, after all, other tribes are watching.
The Black Cloud Tribe executed Li Lingrui's military orders, which led to the annihilation of the entire army. If Li Lingxuan did not have any compensation measures and allowed the enemies of the Black Cloud Tribe to seek revenge, which tribe would listen to Li Lingrui's orders in the future?
Even if they were forced by the pressure of the imperial power, they would obey on the surface and actually go to the battlefield, but they probably wouldn't really do anything to kill them.
But Li Lingxuan understood that things had already happened and it was useless to think about it anymore, so he suppressed his distracting thoughts and continued reading.
After reading two more lines, Li Lingxuan's eyes suddenly widened!
He saw the escort ambushing the transport team and successfully burned the catapult and heavy crossbow!
When he saw that there were only more than a hundred escorts, Li Lingxuan was so angry that his breathing became rapid!
"Are Zuowangwei all losers! And Lao Liu, why are you so careless!"
Li Lingxuan felt that his heart was bleeding.
He could barely accept the failure of the Black Cloud Tribe's ambush, because even if he lost 10,000 people from the Black Cloud Tribe, Li Lingrui still had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, which would not have a great impact on the overall Southern Expedition.
But the transport team was robbed, which had a huge impact on the Southern Expedition!
The Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and the Zhenyuan Army are not old soldiers led by those dandy generals from Dakang. Without the catapults and heavy crossbows, even if the Southern Expedition is successful, the party will suffer heavy losses!
Li Lingxuan held his forehead and took five or six deep breaths before finally calming down and continuing to read.
After reading two more lines, Li Lingrui's anger that he had just suppressed suddenly came out again.
Along with the anger, there was also cold sweat on the forehead!
"Jin Feng discovered An Moyuan and the others!"
Li Lingxuan suddenly panicked.
He knows better than anyone what this means.
Since he ascended the throne, the court has been unstable, and many powerful people are not particularly supportive.
But fortunately, after the prime minister explained the interests of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, the powerful people could not object, and the Southern Expedition was launched.
To launch a large-scale battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, not only hundreds of thousands of soldiers are enough, but also the cooperation of other departments is required.
For example, the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to allocate military pay and food, the Ministry of Works needs to build various supplies and equipment, and several departments need to work together to deploy enough herdsmen to transport supplies!
Generally speaking, Dakang at this time is like a steam engine. It requires the cooperation of all departments to operate smoothly and the Southern Expedition can continue.
If anyone interferes with this, the entire Southern Expedition will be affected.
"Lao Liu really gave me a big problem this time!"
Li Lingxuan now wants to bite Li Lingrui twice.
But what must be faced will eventually be faced. Li Lingxuan forced himself to calm down and read the note.
That night, Li Lingxuan didn't close his eyes at all and wandered around the imperial study room all night.
It was not until dawn that the chief eunuch came to inform him that the ministers had arrived at the court, and Li Lingrui stopped.
However, he did not change his clothes and go to court. Instead, he asked the eunuch to call the prime minister, the Minister of Hubu, and the Minister of War.
These three people were Li Lingxuan's confidants, and it was because of their support that Li Lingxuan managed to secure the throne.
After the three people came in, Li Lingxuan directly asked the eunuch to hand over the note.
After the three of them read it, they all fell silent.
They all realized the importance of this matter!
Finally, the Minister of War broke the silence and asked: "Your Majesty, how are you going to deal with it and agree to Jin Feng's request?"
Prime Minister Xu Lian glanced at Li Lingxuan secretly and found that the emperor had no intention of answering. He sighed silently in his heart and turned around and said: "What else can I do if I don't agree? Is it really true that Jin Feng kills An Moyuan and the others?
"
When Li Lingxuan heard this, he was silently relieved.
In fact, this was also the reason why he asked the prime minister to come over.
After thinking about it all night last night, Li Lingxuan had already figured it out. He could only agree to this matter to Jin Feng, otherwise the party would be in chaos.
But this decision cannot be made by him, someone must be found to take the blame.
Taking the blame for leaders is also the main job of subordinates. Prime Minister Xu Lian, who has been in the court for half his life, naturally understands this truth, so he took the initiative to take over the issue of Minister of War.
The Minister of Hubu was not as experienced as the Prime Minister, but he was still an old fox. He quickly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, a ruler should show sympathy to the soldiers. I believe that now that the matter has come to this, Your Majesty should put the lives of the soldiers first!"
Although the Secretary of the Ministry of War was born in the military, his reaction was a little slower, but when the two people in front of him spoke, he came back to his senses and quickly said: "I second the proposal!"
