Chapter 862: Inspecting the Northwest Protectorate?

Two days later, Zhao Ji sent someone to send back the news.

There are indeed changes in the Moxi tribes, and the borders of the Moxi tribes do not seem to have much defensive power.

However, Zhao Ji judged that this was a trick of the Moxi tribes.

Zhao Ji believed that the Moxi tribes wanted to use this method to lure them to take the initiative.

Zhao Ji suggested taking no action and continuing to stand firm.

At most, a small force was sent to harass the tribes in Moxi.

Zhao Ji's suggestion was also supported by the vast majority of courtiers in the court.

The war between Daqian and the Moxi tribes just broke out last year. Although the war did not break out completely, everyone's consumption was relatively high.

Nowadays, the Moxi tribes are resorting to militancy and are once again actively engaged in the war with the Dayue Kingdom and the Beifu Army. The Moxi tribes must have suffered a huge loss of national power.

This is the time for Da Qian to hide his strength and bide his time and accumulate national strength.

When Daqian's national strength is restored to the point before the war with Beihuan, he can then compete with the Moxi tribes.

When the time comes, by gathering the power of the three vassal states in the south, we will definitely be able to make the tribes of Moxi surrender in one battle!

While the ministers were having a heated discussion, Yun Li's eyes fell on Xiao Wanchou and Xue Che.

Now, almost all civil and military officials in the dynasty agree to wait and see what happens.

Xiao Wanchou and Xue Che were already alone.

Xiao Wanchou and Xue Che looked at each other silently, and sighed at the same time.

After a long time, Xue Che finally spoke: "My colleagues are right. It is really not appropriate for our country to fight again at this time..."

"Ah."

Xiao Wanchou nodded lightly, "Our government should focus on accumulating national power! When all the tribes in Moxi have declined in national power, we will have another battle to decide the outcome!"

As Xue Che and Xiao Wanchou expressed their opinions, the court finally reached a unified opinion.

"Since all of you think you should wait and see what happens, then just wait and see what happens!"

Yun Li was secretly satisfied in his heart, and added: "However, I thought that we could indeed send a small force to harass the enemy! In this way, we can help relieve the pressure on the sixth brother from the side! No matter what the discord between the court and the sixth brother is, we can After all, it’s my family! This outsider has come in, and we, my family, need to help us! What do you think, sir?”

"The prince is wise!"

Gu Xiu was the first to agree.

"The prince is wise!"

Immediately afterwards, all the ministers spoke.

Regardless of whether Yun Li was sincere or fake, at least what he said was correct.

Anyway, it's just a small force to harass, and it doesn't cost much food.

You still have to do it when it's time to show off.

"Then this matter is settled!"

Yun Li stood up and was about to announce his resignation when the guards outside the palace suddenly ran in, holding a letter in his hands, "Your Highness, the Northwest Protectorate is reporting urgently!"

An urgent report from the Northwest Protectorate?

Could it be that Xing'an Fort was attacked by the Moxi tribes?

Or maybe that bitch Lao Liu died in the battle?

However, Yun Li quickly denied his conjecture.

That bitch holds hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can he die in battle so easily?

Yun Li took a deep breath and sat down again: "Quick, bring it up!"

Soon, the eunuch in front of the palace took the urgent report from the general and sent it to Yun Li.

Yun Li opened it and looked at it carefully.

The first half of the letter is pretty normal.

Yunzheng judged that the Moxi tribes were likely to lure the Northwest Army into taking the initiative, and suggested that the court wait and see what happened, or send a small force to harass the Moxi tribes.

This point is completely consistent with Zhao Ji's judgment and suggestions.

But after seeing the second half, Yun Li almost looked northwest and cursed Yun Zheng for being shameless.

The Dayue Kingdom united with the various tribes in Moxi and assembled an army of 200,000 to attack Lingzhou.

The Protectorate of the Northwest Protectorate urgently asked Yun Zheng for help, and Yun Zheng had already mobilized 200,000 troops to support him.

Currently, the two sides are fighting fiercely in Lingzhou.

But the Beifu army is short of money and food, so it asks the court for support in money and food!

Yun Li tried hard to resist the urge to tear the broken letter into pieces, and handed the letter to the eunuch in front of the palace, asking him to read it out in the morning.

As His Highness the eunuch read out the contents of the letter loudly, the ministers suddenly looked at each other.

How could there be such a shameless person in the world?

Are you still embarrassed to ask the court for money and food?

Why didn't he just ask Emperor Wen to give him the throne?

Seeing Yun Li's headache, Gu Xiu immediately said: "Your Highness does not need to have a headache. I thought that Your Highness could verbally commend His Highness the Sixth Highness and praise his righteous deeds! He also directly told His Highness the Sixth Highness that the imperial court was also short of money and food and was really unable to support him. He found a way to raise his own food!”

Headache?

I have a fucking headache!

Yunzheng has no money or food, even the dogs won’t believe him!

He knew best how much money Yunzheng had defrauded him of.

Just some time ago, the imperial court transported grain, grass, gold and silver to Fuzhou.

Yunzheng has the nerve to say that he has less money and less food?

The reason why he felt uncomfortable was simply that he was disgusted by Yun Zheng.

This bitch is still fighting fiercely with the enemy, and he doesn't forget to add trouble to himself!

"I don't have a headache!"

Yun Li tried hard to keep his expression of emotion and anger, "Who in the civil and military circles of the dynasty doesn't know whether Lao Liu has money or food? Doesn't Lao Liu know that the court has no money or food for him? He is purely retaliating against the court!"

Didn’t the imperial court say that the Northwest Protectorate was the imperial court’s territory?

Okay!

Now that he is sending troops to help the court defend its territory, the court must give him some money and food support, right?

"Your Highness is right!"

Xu Shifu agreed: "I believe that His Highness the Sixth Prince is trying to force the imperial court to place the Northwest Protectorate under his jurisdiction step by step! He just wants to be justified!"

Xu Shifu's words were also agreed by many ministers.

Although the Northwest Protectorate was actually under the jurisdiction of Yunzheng, it was still under the jurisdiction of the imperial court in name.

Yun Zheng now doesn't even want to give this name to the court!

Yun Li nodded slightly and said seriously: "This title must not be given to him! Otherwise, in the future, the people of the Northwest Protectorate will only know him as King Jingbei, but not the imperial court!"

"What His Highness said is absolutely true!" Xu Shifu agreed, "However, I also think that I can still give His Highness the Sixth Highness a verbal commendation, which can be regarded as a response to his request for the Northwest Protectorate."

"That's it!"

Yun Li nodded, "Okay, let's retreat from the court!"

After saying that, Yun Li stood up and left the hall.

Not long after, Yun Li found Emperor Wen who was playing mahjong with his concubines with the urgent military intelligence report sent by Yun Zheng.

After Emperor Wen asked a concubine who was watching to take his place, he sat aside with Yun Li.

After Emperor Wen read it, he asked Yun Li calmly: "What do you think this traitor means?"

Yun Li replied: "Sixth brother wants to legitimately obtain the jurisdiction of the Northwest Protectorate."

"He doesn't just want jurisdiction! He wishes the court would appoint him as the Northwest Military Envoy!"

Emperor Wen snorted coldly: "This traitor's appetite is getting bigger and bigger! It seems that all the officials sent by the imperial court to the Northwest Protectorate were probably killed or abandoned by him!"

"Yes!"

Yun Li said worriedly: "Even if the imperial court does not designate him as the Northwest Military Envoy, if this continues, he will be no different from the Northwest Military Envoy."

Emperor Wen nodded, stood up slowly, and kept pacing back and forth.

It seems that I have to make a difficult decision.

Yun Li looked at Emperor Wen in confusion, wondering why Emperor Wen suddenly acted like this.

After a long time, Emperor Wen stopped and seemed to have made a decision.

"Perhaps it's time for me to inspect the Northwest Protectorate..."

Emperor Wen looked to the northwest and sighed solemnly...
