Chapter eight hundred and eighty sixth dilemma
With a bang, the people kneeling on the ground didn't even twitch, and they continued to look at their noses, as if nothing had happened.
The eunuch who was responsible for serving was already scared at this time, and he knelt down and kowtowed, saying that the emperor would spare his life.
It would be fine if the little eunuch didn't shout for mercy. When Emperor Jianxing called out, the nameless fire in his heart became even more angry. He immediately dragged the little eunuch out and beat him to death.
As soon as he finished speaking, two strong eunuchs stepped forward, one left and one right and dragged the eunuch away. The eunuch was so scared that he kept wailing, but his mouth was immediately blocked. After only a moment, there was a crackling sound of boards outside the hall, and the crying that was still vague because of the cull. In about a short while, the sound finally disappeared from high to bottom.
The little eunuch was beaten to death under everyone's noses. The nameless fire in Jianxing's heart also ejaculated with the death of the little eunuch, and there was an indescribable sense of ease all over his body.
He picked up another cup of ginseng tea that had been brewed for Emperor Jianxing and tasted it leisurely, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Geng'er!"
"Slave is here!" Geng'er, who was kneeling, responded quickly when he heard Emperor Jianxing calling his name.
"You need to be careful about the war in Shanxi. Go to the east and tell Longkodo to be prepared so that the Ming army can cut off the connection between Guanzhong and Shanxi." Emperor Jianxing said. He thought about it when he was drinking tea. There were not many people in his hands now, and Longkodo could be said to be able to bear great responsibilities.
Now Longkodo is in the east, confronting each other with the Ming army attacking Guanzhong. His defense line not only needs to resist the Ming army's attack, but also maintain the passage with Shanxi. In order to ensure that there is no accident, Emperor Jianxing decided to hand over this task to Longkodo.
The reason why Geng E went for a trip was because it was more appropriate for Geng E to come forward. After all, he was not only the minister of the study room, but also the Minister of War. Using him as the imperial envoy can better reflect Jianxing's attention to this matter. At the same time, Jianxing also wanted Geng E to see the situation there for him.
After saying this, Emperor Jianxing hesitated again and continued: "After seeing Longkodo, you can go to Shanxi again and bring me the words to Ortai. As long as you block the Ming army, I can grant him a title of royalty! In addition, let Ortai contact the Rakshasa Kingdom as soon as possible and ask the Rakshasa Kingdom to assist in sending troops to fight against the Ming army."
Geng E immediately agreed and took on the job. Only then did Emperor Jianxing feel at ease, but then he thought about the situation in the three southwest provinces, especially Prince Cheng who is now trapped in Guizhou and cannot return, Jianxing can't help but feel worried.
But compared to Shanxi, the three southwestern provinces are now beyond the reach of the Qing court. Emperor Jianxing could only hope that Bei Henuo and others would be loyal to the king's affairs and defend the enemy alone. At the same time, they hated Zhao Hongcan, who rebeled and threw himself into the Ming Dynasty. If Zhao Hongcan had not suddenly betrayed the Qing Dynasty, then even Yue Zhongqi's attack on Sichuan would not have been bad now.
Unfortunately, it is too late to say this now, Emperor Jianxing can only leave it to fate. However, compared with the three southwestern provinces, he is more concerned about Shanxi. Shanxi must be kept, and this must not be lost!
Half an hour later, Emperor Jianxing was a little tired and his face showed sleepiness. Seeing that his master was so naturally, everyone knelt down and said goodbye, waved his hand and asked everyone to leave. However, Emperor Jianxing did not turn back to the harem, but instead sat silently in the dragon throne and was thinking about something. It took a long time to sigh.
After leaving the palace, Ma Qi's face was extremely ugly. As the minister of Shangshu, although he said some comforting words when he was just facing the saint, he knew in his heart that those words were just sayings. The Ming army is currently attacking Shanxi in large numbers, which means that the Ming army is bound to win Shanxi this time. Even if Ortai can block it for a while, how can it last for a lifetime?
As for the Rakshasa Kingdom, Ma Qi did not have much hope. Has the Qing Dynasty not suffered any losses in its previous cooperation with the Rakshasa Kingdom? Whether it was the Nibuchu that year or the Battle of Mobei not long ago, the Rakshasa Kingdom took advantage of the Qing Dynasty.
Ma Qi had already understood that the Rakshasa people were just a group of unfamiliar wolves, and they had no faith at all. If the Qing Dynasty is now strong, the Rakshasa people would probably be eager to take the initiative to send troops to get benefits and add icing on the cake. But the real situation is the opposite. In such a situation, the Rakshasa people would really do a timely help?
The reason why I said that was just to comfort Emperor Jianxing. Over the past year, Emperor Jianxing's personality has become increasingly strange, and he does not have the same aura as when he was a ruler at the beginning. This made Ma Qi, who was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, see it in his eyes and worry in his heart, but he was powerless.
"Hengchen!"
"What's wrong with Ma Xiang?" Zhang Tingyu walked behind Geng's forehead, and suddenly someone pulled her sleeve. When she turned around, she saw that it was Ma Qi.
"Hengchen talks with one step." Ma Qi said to Zhang Tingyu softly. Zhang Tingyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked to the side with Ma Qi.
Their actions quickly attracted the attention of Geng'er in front of him, but he just looked in the direction where the two were walking, snorted coldly in his nose, and then he pretended that he had not known and continued to walk.
"Hengchen, tell me the truth. How confident do you think Shanxi is now?" Ma Qi asked in a voice when he walked aside.
Zhang Tingyu was stunned at first, and then smiled and said, "Didn't Ma Xiang say it when he met the emperor just now? Tingyu should have heard Ma Xiang's words. My meaning is actually similar to yours."
"I said Hengchen, you and I have known each other for many years. Can you still take what you said just now?" Ma Qi suddenly said anxiously when he saw Zhang Tingyu practicing Tai Chi; "I said those words just because Emperor An's heart, and Hengchen probably is the same. But as ministers in the study room, you and I need to prepare early in the face of the current situation. Hengchen! Your ability is much stronger than me, and I have always admired your vision. Now you and me are the two of you, and some words will never be heard by the third person. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the world, please speak out in a blunt manner!"
Ma Qi said with a sincere look on his face. Everyone in the court knew that Ma Qi was a good man and didn't have much fun. Zhang Tingyu naturally knew this.
Seeing that Ma Qi's expression was not like a fake, Zhang Tingyu sighed for a moment: "Why should Ma Xiang look for me in this matter? Isn't it better to find Lord Geng? Or it would be better to consult Prince Chun than to find me!"
