Li Jinglong wanted to hide the news, but he didn't expect that something happened at the nursing home, and the editors and supervisors found out about it.
As the emperor's specialized intelligence agency, the Editorial Supervisor naturally attaches great importance to such vicious murder cases that occurred in the imperial city.
Once investigated by such a specialized intelligence agency, what happened in Wudingfang would naturally not be concealed.
In fact, if only a few dozen people died, Wang An would only ask his men to investigate the murderer strictly, and then report to Zhao Weilong after the results of the investigation were found.
The problem now is that Concubine Duan, who was "taken care of" by the emperor and the empress dowager, disappeared, so Wang An had to report it as soon as possible.
At this moment, Zhao Weilong was so angry that his body was shaking.
Such a vicious incident happened at the foot of the imperial city, which was a slap in the face.
In order to guard against zombies, the management of various buildings in the capital is extremely strict. Now it seems that it is so-called impregnable, but secretly there are many gaps.
Today the thieves killed dozens of people in one night, will they be able to break into the imperial city tomorrow?
Or could it be said that thieves have already sneaked into the imperial city?
Thinking of this, Zhao Weilong became even more angry.
"Order the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the case strictly, patrol Wudingfang and punish every thousand households with a rod of one hundred, and the commander of the City Patrol Department will fine him one year's salary!"
If nothing happens, this Qianhu will be beaten to death on the spot.
In fact, according to Zhao Weilong's true thoughts, the commander Li Jinglong should also be killed.
But after all, when it comes to hiring people, Zhao Weilong must also take into account the opinions of military officials, big and small.
Of course, this also shows that Zhao Weilong does not have absolute authority, otherwise he would not take this into consideration.
After all, not everyone is like Zhao Yanxun, but his opponents can take life and death from civilian and military officials.
"This slave will go and deliver the order right now!"
"Also, please send an order to the left and right prison guards, the left and right Jinwu Guard commanders, Tongzhi and Qianshi, to go and watch the execution!"
Of the thirteen remaining old guards of the Forbidden Army, nine were sent to various front lines, while the remaining four guards stayed in the capital.
On the one hand, it protects the defense of the capital, and on the other hand, it shocks the southern counties and makes them more honest.
The left and right prison guards and the left and right Jinwu guards are the forbidden troops that Zhao Weilong has the strongest control over. Now that something like this has happened in the capital, he feels the need to give his generals a beating.
When Wang An heard this order, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes!"
"Go for it!"
"yes!"
After Wang An left, Zhao Weilong tried to calm down before continuing to walk forward.
As an emperor, you must be calm at all times, so that people below you cannot tell the difference.
To do this, you have to suppress all true feelings, which is undoubtedly very painful. Fortunately, Zhao Weilong has the queen to talk to.
At the moment, he just wants to send Fang Hongji away quickly and return to the harem to vent his anger.
…………
Donghe Mansion, a large army gathered.
This place is located between the Han River and the Jishui River. It is the easternmost prefecture in Hanoi County. The zombies have just been cleared away by the imperial army.
However, due to the enemy situation coming from the west, these soldiers who had been fighting fiercely for a long time were all summoned to Donghe Mansion without any time to rest.
Two days have passed since the attack. As the commander of the Western Front Army, Lu Liqing still has not figured out where the enemy is coming from.
The scouts he sent to the west of the Han River either died under the claws of numerous zombies or were killed by the so-called enemy forces.
The Yong army can march quickly in the zombie swarm, but this is not the case for the imperial army. It is normal for the sent scouts to be killed by the zombies.
This sudden appearance of enemy troops prevented Lu Liqing from even sleeping well, and his hair had turned a lot whiter in the past two days.
Today, the Western Front Army has less than 60,000 regular troops after the imperial court sent troops to suppress the rebellion in the southwest.
Among the 60,000 troops, there were only 30,000 Imperial Guards who could actually fight, and Long Zhiwei's right guard accounted for 5,000.
Now that Long Zhi's right guard has been defeated, Lu Liqing is in great pain. This will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the Western Front Army.
Lu Liqing would also bear the responsibility for the defeat of Long Zhiyouwei, and he was extremely worried about how to report it to the court.
Of course, this matter must not be hidden. Lu Liqing could guess that the imperial court already knew about the defeat on the front line.
"Forget it, please forgive me!"
In the government office, Lu Liqing, who was in his fifties, sighed, picked up his pen and started writing.
After collecting the defeated troops in the past two days, Lu Liqing roughly figured out the casualties of Long Zhiyouwei and knew that he was capable of fighting zombies.
Therefore, in his apology memorial, he requested the imperial court to transfer back Long Zhiwei's men and reorganize the army based on the existing skeleton.
In this way, Long Zhiyouwei can regain his combat effectiveness as quickly as possible.
Of course, the so-called fastest here will take at least half a year, and Long Zhi right back will definitely not be expected in a short period of time.
Therefore, at the end of the memorial, Lu Liqing also requested help from the imperial court to fight against the enemies appearing east of the Han River.
According to Lu Liqing's idea, if Long Zhi's right guard is useless, the newly built Long Zhi left guard can be transferred over.
Although the combat effectiveness of these seven newly built imperial guards is somewhat inferior, they are much stronger than the useless guards.
Just as Lu Liqing was writing and thinking, he heard a report coming from outside: "The Grand Governor... Long Zhiyou Guard Commander Yuan Zheng is back!"
Lu Liqing stood up immediately and said, "Oh? Where is he? Let him come to see me!"
Among the defeated soldiers who returned, there was only one Qianhu with the highest official rank.
But this person was so confused that after Lu Liqing asked him personally, he got no useful information at all.
Now that Yuan Zheng had returned, he was the first to fight the enemy. It seemed to Lu Liqing that he knew more, so he wanted to hear what Yuan Zheng had to say.
The soldier who made the report immediately went to deliver the order. After about ten seconds, one person was led out of the hall.
This person is none other than Yuan Zheng, but at this moment his bun is messed up, his armor is missing, and he looks extremely embarrassed.
After being continuously hunted, Yuan Zheng and his men gradually became separated. Now that he was able to escape with his life, it was considered a blessing from God.
"General, it is a death penalty for demeaning one's position!" Yuan Zheng knocked his head to the ground.
Lu Liqing walked closer and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
"Sir, our army crossed the Han River and was stationed in various villages and towns. We were attacked by the enemy in the middle of the night..."
Next, Yuan Zheng told the story in detail.
"Where did the bandit army come from?" Lu Liqing asked the key question.
Yuan Zheng thought about this question repeatedly during his escape, and now he already had the answer in his mind.
"General, this is King Yong!"
When Lu Liqing first heard "King Yong", he almost didn't know who it was.
"Prince Yong? The original Ninth Prince?" Lu Liqing was a little in disbelief.
"Sir, it is King Yong!"
"Is he still alive?" Lu Liqing said with a straight face.
In the northwest, which has been occupied by zombies, there should be no living people anyway, let alone support so many troops.
What's more, how could King Yong, a brat from the feudal dynasty, raise an army in the northwest?
Based on this, Lu Liqing expressed doubts about Yuan Zheng's words.
"General, it is indeed King Yong who heard it with his own ears!"
During the fierce battle, the slogans shouted by Yong's army are still recalled in Yuan Zheng's ears.
It's a pity that he and his brothers who crossed the Han River together are now separated forever.
"Long live His Highness King Yong... Which bandit army shouted this!"
"General, apart from King Yong, who else in the northwest would use this title?"
After saying this, Yuan Zheng raised his head and said: "Perhaps the situation in the northwest is different from what the court thought. They may not have fallen!"
"They even thought that the Central Plains had fallen and it was not impossible for the civil and military forces in the northwest to appoint King Yong as their king!"
Yuan Zheng's guess this time is extremely bold, but it does have some truth.
When the news is cut off, the imperial court thinks that the northwest has fallen, and conversely, the northwest may also think that the imperial court has fallen.
In the northwest, which had not yet fallen, it was only natural for Zhao Yanxun, the emperor's own son, to be the king.
So now, King Yong leads the northwest army to fight back, what is his intention?
The answer seems self-evident...
Nowadays, the world is in chaos, zombies are rampant, and the country is in danger, but something like this happened again...
It really happened that the house leaked and it rained all night long... Lu Liqing said secretly.
