Chapter 186: Military disaster

Liu Daowen finally ate hot food and rice, moved to tears.

After filling his stomach, the next thing he had to do was to handle relationships, especially Jiang Tu's side; he asked the steward to bring huge funds to the door to beg for help.

As a result, the steward brought him a very bad news: Jiang Tu was too busy and was scolded by the old Emperor, so he had no time to deal with his case for the time being. Let him endure more.

"Why is this? His Majesty trusts Lord Jiang the most."

The steward stood in front of the prison door and whispered to him, "Something happened in Jinzhou."

"Why did something happen in Jinzhou again?" Liu Daowen didn't understand.

The steward looked around and said, "The court's supplies were delayed and not sent, and the rewards were also dragged. In Jinzhou, there were military leaders who indulged their subordinates to harm the local area. This is not all; the key is that this group of soldiers harmed the hometown of Li Xiang."

Li Xiang was the former Prime Minister, who had already passed away, but Li Xiang's students and former officials were all over the world.

This group of soldiers didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, thinking that leaving the city and running to the countryside could make them act recklessly. But they encountered a hard stubble, which was Li Xiang's descendants.

The leading soldier didn't know a single word, hadn't even heard of Li Xiang's name, and didn't know how great Li Xiang's influence was among the readers and in the officialdom. He just thought the Li family was a local snake.

Seeing the manor was very large, thinking that the war had been bitter for the past two years, and losing was fine, but winning didn't get rewards from the court, and the money was all embezzled by court officials. The more he thought, the angrier he became, and his anger value rose, so he immediately commanded the soldiers to charge, took down the Li family manor, and harmed the Li family manor thoroughly.

The news reached the capital, and some officials in the court cried out on the spot, running to the gate of the Taiji Palace to kneel, asking His Majesty to severely punish the involved generals, severely punish the commander Marquis Pingjiang, and severely punish the officials in Jinzhou. At the same time, they had to severely punish the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War. If it weren't for their delay, the Li family wouldn't have suffered this disaster.

As for the ordinary people who were harmed this time, speaking for the Li family was speaking for the ordinary people; there was no situation of not caring about the lives of the ordinary people. If the Li family hadn't suffered, even if all the ordinary people who were harmed died, they probably wouldn't have received justice. Pulling in the Li family, they might be able to pay blood for blood.

Emperor Taixing was practicing Daoism well, and when he learned of this, he was also so angry that he cursed.

"What is Chen Qingzhi doing? I told him to restrain the Jinzhou pacification army well; why didn't he listen to the edict? Stabbing such a big hole, but letting me wipe his butt, this is unreasonable! I want to behead him."

The Master's big name was Chen Qingzhi.

Qiu Defu didn't dare to say a word.

Eunuch Wei fell, was sent to guard the imperial mausoleum, and he didn't become arrogant because of this, but became more cautious. In terms of master-servant friendship, Eunuch Wei came out of Emperor Taixing's residence, and logically speaking, he should be more decent. But once he made a mistake, there was no face at all, and he was still sent to the imperial mausoleum to drink the northwest wind.

He didn't want to guard the imperial mausoleum, so he was now speaking as little as possible.

"Kill! Must kill a batch of people, otherwise it is not enough to relieve hatred. This group of military leaders is simply lawless. Where is Chen Qingzhi? Is there any report?"

Qiu Defu hurriedly stood out. "Reporting to His Majesty, Marquis Pingjiang just submitted a memorial yesterday, claiming that the Jinzhou rebels have the intention to break out, and he has led the main force to surround and block them. By now, he should have reached the front line. The things the military leaders below did were likely out of carelessness. Those border troops, once they leave the barracks, are like crazy horses, and cannot be pulled back."

"Don't find excuses for him. He cannot suppress the military leaders below, which is his incompetence! The Li family clan was harmed, and this matter must give the court an explanation. Tell him, fight the war well, strive to annihilate the Jinzhou rebels in one fell swoop this time, I don't want to see the war repeat again. If the war is unfavorable, I will hold him accountable. What was given to him, there will be a day to take it back."

Emperor Taixing didn't recognize people when he turned his face. Before the New Year, he called the Master the pillar of the country. After the New Year, the situation stabilized, and he changed his words to say that what was given would be taken back sooner or later.

Both stingy and mean.

Qiu Defu thought about it and still opened his mouth to remind, "Marquis Pingjiang has urged supplies and rewards several times..."

"Give it to him, give it all to him! What are the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue doing? The first month has passed, and the supplies haven't been sent out. If it weren't for this, the Li family wouldn't have suffered this disaster. Pass my edict, tomorrow's morning meeting, all officials above the fifth rank in the capital must attend. Let the two Prime Ministers, and other ministers, all come to the Taiji Palace. I want to discuss with them; it's simply chaotic."

Emperor Taixing was full of energy, the more he thought, the angrier he became, the more he thought, the more fire he had.

He roared angrily: "Let Jiang Tu kneel outside the door, and don't allow him to get up until I call him. Bastard thing, I let him make money, not let him make trouble, and even less let him delay the material supplies in Jinzhou. If the war in Jinzhou repeats, I will definitely cut off his head."

Qiu Defu:...

He knew that Jiang Tu was stable again this time. Emperor Taixing still couldn't leave Jiang Tu and still counted on Jiang Tu to make money.

However, making money and making trouble were bound to be complementary; without making trouble, where would the money come from?

Emperor Taixing continued to indulge Jiang Tu, and the war in Jinzhou would inevitably repeat. I don't know if Marquis Pingjiang could handle it.

The court big shots walked into the Taiji Palace one by one, and everyone saw Jiang Tu kneeling at the palace gate.

Those who were particular nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting. Or cupped their hands, so that their faces would be better.

Those with stubborn tempers snorted coldly, turned their heads, and turned a blind eye.

Those with smelly tempers directly mocked, "Lord Jiang also has today."

Jiang Tu:...

In the past, when he was at the bottom, he was a little hooligan who didn't want face. Now, in a high position, he cared more about face than anyone else, and cared more about face. Whoever didn't give him face, he would kill whoever.

Every person who passed by his side, regardless of whether their attitude was good or bad, he firmly remembered in his heart. A petty person's revenge, a year is not late. Sooner or later, he would find the place back.

Based on his understanding of the old Emperor, this time it was definitely a small punishment, stable!

It was just that the means could no longer be as cruel as before.

It was all Chen Qingzhi's fault for not managing well, letting those military leaders act recklessly, harming anyone was fine, but running to harm Li Laogui's hometown. People had been dead for decades, and there were still so many supporters in the court,

Ruining his good deeds!

Harming him to lose face at the gate of the Taiji Palace, this grudge was big!

Jiang Tu firmly remembered Marquis Pingjiang on the blacklist. If there was a chance, he must kill that disabled person.

The court officials had to find a supplement for Marquis Pingjiang.

Now everyone's target was Jiang Tu kneeling outside.

Why the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue were unfavorable in doing things, and why the supplies were delayed in being sent to Jinzhou, was all because of Jiang Tu. Jiang Tu, the thief, was causing chaos in the court, so that the court was in a mess, and proper business was delayed.

"Please His Majesty issue an edict to behead Jiang Tu, the thief!"

Some impulsive people shouted on the spot.

Emperor Taixing's face suddenly sank.

Was he really confused, or pretending not to understand? He let Jiang Tu kneel outside the Taiji Palace gate, which was a signal to the court officials that he was determined to protect Jiang Tu. Whoever mentioned Jiang Tu, whoever made things difficult for Jiang Tu, was making things difficult for him.

Such an obvious hint, or even a clear indication, the officials present were all top students; could they not see it clearly?

Hmph!

Intentional!

Clearly intentional. ===== CHAPTER 187 =====
