Chapter 617 The dust has settled, and Duke Jingguo returns to Beijing!

While walking on the steps, Ning Fan said softly: "Money and food are not difficult to solve. The most urgent task is to resume production as soon as possible and let the people who can return return as soon as possible!"

"Now that Duke Jingguo has led his army south, the situation in the north will be determined within three days. The central government of the court must complete the whole group within three days. Is there any problem?"

Ning Fan looked back and saw Shen Li shaking his head. Lin Qiushi showed a hint of hesitation on his face. With a crisp sound, he nodded quickly: "Your Highness, no problem!"

"Yes!"

"My Dayu is now riddled with holes. Taking this opportunity, we will break it and then rebuild it. There will be many big moves in the court next. I hope that all the adults can help!"

"Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

After returning to the palace, Ning Fan also felt a burst of fatigue. He didn't feel it before, after all, there were Guo Jia, Chen Gong and others blocking him, but now, facing the civil and military officials in the court, no one in the court can stand alone except Zhuge Liang.

"Back?"

"Yes!"

Ning Fan looked at Cai Yan in a pale white dress and greeted her with a smile, but accidentally caught a glimpse of two beautiful figures not far away and smiled dryly: "Are you used to living in the mansion?"

"The servants serve very attentively."

"That's good!"

Ning Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Emperor Yu brought Cai Yan back from Huainan and had been placed in Prince Yong's mansion. After all, before he came back, the mansion was particularly deserted.

"My Lord!"

Just as he was about to chat with Cai Yan about love and romance, Jia Xu appeared in front of him: "There is news from the White Robe Army!"

"Huh?"

Ning Fan was startled and asked: "Did Qingzhi destroy Su Gaiwen's main force?"

Jia Xu shook his head, his expression still a little solemn: "Something unexpected happened. This is the battle report from General Chen!"

"Oh?"

Ning Fan opened the secret letter sent by Chen Qingzhi and his expression gradually became deep: "It's interesting. This is a ghost!"

"Sixty or seventy thousand Mobei cavalry were quietly destroyed in Xun'an!"

"Tsk!"

"It seems that you really underestimated our sixth brother!"

"My Lord means that this was done by King Xun'an? "

Ning Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's on his territory. Even if it's not his doing, it's related to him!"

"However, no matter what, the hidden danger on Su Gaiwen's side has been solved."

"Have all the kings returned to Beijing?"

Jia Xu nodded slightly: "News from all sides are on their way back to Beijing."

"Yes!"

Ning Fan nodded, looked at Jia Xu, and solemnly instructed: "Be sure to send someone to protect their safety. If they have an accident at this time, this shit pot will not be cleaned up."

"My lord, don't worry, I'm ready!"

"Yes!"

"Call my Yongwangfu team and go to the main hall to discuss matters!"

...

Da Li.

Snow Moon City.

The Imperial Palace.

The Queen of Li sat in the Imperial Garden, surrounded by soldiers, with a thick stack of official documents on the table, and her expression was slightly depressed.

"Your Majesty, this time Dayan's 700,000 troops are approaching, and they are determined to destroy my dynasty!"

"Marshal Xi has mobilized all the troops in the southern border, but there are only more than 500,000. The new army has not yet formed combat power. Dayan's army is still gathering towards my northern border. What should I do?"

Mu Qingcheng looked at the official documents one by one, and after quickly reviewing them, he said calmly: "Dayan's national strength is already several times stronger than Dali's. Now it has almost used up its national foundation. Now, Dayu is in a deadlock again. Dali can only save itself."

"First, slowly move the people to the southern counties."

"Step up training New Army, transfer all Yuannu escorts to the northern border. I have only one request, that is, to firmly hold the northern border defense line within one month! "

Gong Yuyan heard this, and a solemn expression appeared on her face, and then asked: "What about one month later?"

"I have my own countermeasures!"

"Yes!"

"Is there any news from Dayu's territory?"

"The iron cavalry of Mobei has been repeatedly frustrated by Dayu, and lost soldiers and generals. Now Dayu is launching a counterattack!"

"Good!"

...

Three days passed in a flash, and in just three days, the Central Plains has undergone tremendous changes.

Dayu's national defense army marched south, and Ji Sui and others commanded to block Tie Xuanzhen's main force. Yue Fei led his army to launch a surprise attack, forcing Tie Xuanzhen to the eastern border in one fell swoop, and then recovered the northern border defense line.

Dayan Kingdom launched a full-scale offensive against Dali, and in just three days, it conquered more than ten cities.

In Dayu, the court recruited 300,000 able-bodied men and started large-scale construction, expanding the capital, repairing riverbanks, building high-quality bluestone roads, using work-for-relief, and resettling hundreds of thousands of disaster victims.

And within the court, there were also undercurrents. First, the news of the queen's enthronement spread throughout the country, and then the central government was reorganized, with three provinces under the jurisdiction of six departments.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Outside the Yuwang City.

Ning Fan personally led the civil and military officials to welcome the Duke of Jingguo back to the capital.

The people outside the city gathered, looking at the convoy slowly coming from afar, with a bit of sighing.

"What happened? Why is the court making such a big fuss?"

"I heard that the only son of the Duke of Jingguo, Li Yan, died on the battlefield!"

"Alas, it's a pity. The Duke of Zhenguo's family is full of loyal and brave people. I didn't expect that even the bloodline could not be saved!"

The people talked a lot, and Ning Fan and a group of officials also looked depressed. As the Duke of Jingguo's convoy arrived at the city gate, Ning Fan personally stepped forward to greet him.

"Your Highness, Li Jin, pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Yong!"

"Please stand up, Duke!"

Ning Fan stepped forward to support him, looking at Li Jin's old face, he sighed in his heart.

Talking about Li Jin, Ning Fan also had a lot of admiration in his heart. The civil and military officials in the court all had their own positions, even people like Ji Sui had their own selfishness.

But Li Jin, since his youth, followed his father to the battlefield, fought in the south and the north, and after becoming famous, he defended the northern border for decades by himself.

He was famous and was praised as the military god of Dayu!

Now he is in his twilight years, and has not yet enjoyed the happiness of family life, but he has sent his son to his death!

"Wei Ying, announce the decree!"

Eunuch Wei also looked particularly solemn today. Holding a golden imperial edict, he stood in front of all the officials and said loudly: "Li Ying'er, Li Yan, the major general of the Zhenguo Army, is a young hero, brave and heroic, loyal and righteous, and sacrificed his life for the country..."

"Today, he is posthumously named the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, buried in the Martyrs Cemetery, and buried with the rites of a king and a prince!"

"Li Jin, the Duke of Jingguo, defended the country and guarded the border, and made many military achievements. The Li family is full of loyal heroes. Today, a golden plaque is specially granted, and Li Jin is conferred the title of Taiwei as the 'family of loyalty and bravery', and a thousand hectares of fertile land are granted. This is the decree!"

"Your Majesty, thank you for your emperor's long live!"
