Chapter 1300: Shouldn’t this be a headache for Old 3?
Yun Li's face looked very ugly.
Even though he tried his best to hold it back, he couldn't suppress the anger on his face.
What do you mean?
A piece of good news, isn't it worthy for me, the Crown Prince Regent, to read it?
Fuck you, bastard!
That bastard Lao Liu slaps himself in the face all the time.
Now, a messenger as lowly as an ant dares to slap him in the face in public?
For a moment, he really wanted to order his men to drag the messenger out of the hall and behead him.
However, his reason told him that he could never do that.
When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner too!
If he does this, that bastard Lao Liu will definitely show his teeth to him.
"Be bold!"
The eunuch who was delivering the message beside Yun Li suddenly frowned and shouted angrily: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is the regent by the emperor's order. Can't Your Highness the Crown Prince..."
"Shut up!"
Yun Li interrupted the eunuch with a low shout, and suddenly put away the anger on his face, and ordered another eunuch: "Go and invite the emperor to come to the court immediately!"
The eunuch did not dare to delay and immediately took the order and left.
The eunuch who delivered the message looked at Yun Li in confusion, wondering why he stopped him.
Yun Li remained calm, but he already understood in his heart.
He didn't know whether that bastard was ordering someone to hit him in the face.
But he knew that this bastard wanted to see if his father was still alive, and if so, to see if his father was under house arrest by him.
Correct!
There must be a reason for this!
If the emperor father didn't come to court, this bastard would probably start another "clearing the emperor's side" drama soon.
By then, the one who will be cleared out will be me, the Crown Prince Regent!
You bastard, you bastard, you are so insidious!
Seeing that Yun Li's complexion quickly returned to normal, the ministers couldn't help but admire him secretly.
Yun Li is indeed becoming more and more like an emperor.
He didn't even get angry about this kind of thing.
It can be seen that he is very good at keeping his emotions hidden.
Yun Li suppressed his anger and calmly asked the messenger, "Is this a report of victory in the war against the Le Dynasty?"
"Yes!"
The messenger answered honestly.
"Haha, it looks like this is a very auspicious year for our dynasty!"
Yun Li glanced at the ministers with a smile, "Xiqu has just submitted its tribute, and there is news of victory from the Li Dynasty. God bless Daqian!"
God bless Daqian?
The ministers were stunned for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is right!"
"Now our country is at its peak and the four barbarians are submissive. This is a blessing bestowed by the heavens..."
"God bless Daqian, God bless Daqian..."
The ministers agreed with a smile.
God bless Daqian, that is the credit of God, not Yun Zheng!
I have to say that Yun Li played this move very well.
When the time comes to reward people for their merits, we will first offer sacrifices to heaven to thank God for his grace.
As for rewarding Yun Zheng, it was most likely just a verbal reward.
The imperial court has given Yun Zheng all the rewards he can.
Now, everyone only knows that Yun Zheng won a victory in the Li Dynasty. As for the specific results, no one knows, and they cannot discuss it. They can only say some meaningless words in the hall to deliberately create a festive atmosphere.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Emperor Wen came to court with the help of eunuchs.
"See Your Majesty!"
As Emperor Wen came to court, all the ministers bowed to him.
"My dear ministers, please don't be polite... ahem..."
Emperor Wen coughed lightly and looked at the messenger again, "Send us the battle report!"
The messenger quickly took off the thick cloth bag on his body, opened it, and held it up with both hands.
Mu Shun stepped forward to take it and presented it to Emperor Wen.
"This battle report... is it so long?"
Emperor Wen looked at the thick stack of things and asked in confusion.
The messenger replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, here are not only the Sixth Prince's battle reports, but also the surrender of the Kingdom of Li and the letter of submission of Zhenhe..."
The Kingdom of Li surrendered?
Zhenhe's letter of submission?
Listening to the messenger's words, the ministers were surprised and curious.
Not only did the Le Dynasty surrender, but even Zhenhe requested to submit to Daqian?
"I understand! Someone, take him down to rest first!"
Emperor Wen smiled, slowly picked up the surrender letter from the Kingdom of Li, and ordered Mu Shun: "Read the battle report to you, my dear ministers!"
"According to the order!"
Mu Shun opened the battle report and read aloud: "Your son Yun Zheng reports to your father: On the first day of April, your son led an army of 300,000 to attack the Le Dynasty..."
As soon as Mu Shun finished reading a sentence, Emperor Wen and everyone else's faces turned strange.
Emperor Wen raised his hand to throw the surrender letter in his hand to the ground, but he held back.
Three hundred thousand troops?
What a liar!
All the civil and military officials in the court knew that if Yun Zheng sent troops to the Li Dynasty at this time, the number of soldiers available for battle would definitely not exceed 100,000.
Even if we count the civilians who transport grain, there is absolutely no way there could be an army of 300,000, not even 200,000!
Does he think all the civil and military officials in the court are fools?
If an army of 300,000 were to travel so far to fight, the transportation of food and supplies alone would have to be arranged half a year in advance, not to mention other things!
Everyone estimated that Yun Zheng was either showing off his military strength or preparing to falsely report the battle losses!
These are Yun Zheng’s old tricks, and everyone knows them well.
Everyone guessed correctly.
Yun Zheng was indeed falsely reporting the battle losses again.
When Emperor Wen heard Mu Shun read out "120,000 killed in battle", he raised his eyes to stop Mu Shun, "Don't worry about the casualties, just read out the results..."
Rebel!
Each battle report would report the death of hundreds of thousands of people.
If he really fought like this, the young and strong men in Shuobei and Northwest Protectorate would have been defeated by him long ago!
Mu Shun coughed dryly, then skipped the casualties and went straight to reading out the results of the battle.
In this battle, Yun Zheng led his troops to annihilate the 60,000-strong Le Dynasty army and captured more than 70,000 people. The Le Dynasty navy burned all its warships when it was defeated.
The Emperor of the Le Dynasty, Wang Shu, died of a heart attack. The new emperor led all officials to surrender, begged to be made king, and pledged his loyalty to Daqian. He also leased Lu Andao and Shang Khanh Dao to Daqian for twenty years.
In addition, the great leader of Zhenhe, Hesheli, was impressed by the might of Daqian and took the initiative to submit to him. All 600 li of Zhenhe land was returned to Daqian.
Yun Zheng pleaded with Emperor Wen to reward Hesheli and the meritorious officials in this battle, and to send officials to manage the two places and educate the people in the two places.
At the same time, he begged the court to allocate funds to build a highway from Shuobei to Zhenhe in order to strengthen the court's control over the newly acquired territories.
At the end of the battle report, Yun Zheng simply attached a list.
The people on the list are all people who have made great contributions.
Then there is no more then.
Just like Yun Zheng's usual routine, the whole article only mentioned the battle losses and results, and did not mention the spoils of war at all.
This long and eloquent battle report can be summed up in just six words.
VIP!
Want a reward!
Want money!
But even so, the ministers looked at each other in shock.
Lease?
This is really a new word.
However, is this another way of ceding territory in exchange for peace?
The Le Dynasty was the land of six paths.
He actually directly leased two pieces of land to Daqian?
Still renting for twenty years?
Twenty years later, will these two places still belong to the Le Dynasty?
Oh, no, it should be called Li Kingdom now!
Emperor Wen calmly read the surrender letter from the Kingdom of Li, and then began to read the letter of surrender from the Kingdom of Zhenhe.
At this moment, Emperor Wen was both happy and troubled.
How can we not be happy when we are expanding our territory?
But the problem is that it is really troublesome to send officials to these two places!
Not to mention whether there are so many officials in the court to be sent there, even if there are, no one is willing to go!
But, this is a newly acquired land after all!
It seems unreasonable for the court not to send officials!
As he was thinking, Emperor Wen was suddenly stunned again.
Ah!
What's giving you a headache?
Shouldn’t the third brother be the one having a headache?
With this in mind, Emperor Wen handed the surrender letter and the letter of allegiance to Yun Li and sighed softly, "Prince, take a look at this too!"
