Wang Tiezhu led more than a thousand cavalry and successfully attacked and burned Tuyuhun's grain storage area, killing thirty-five generals. Tuyuhun's rear army was in chaos.

Wang Tiezhu wanted to go back to rescue his more than 3,000 subordinates, but he was exhausted and exhausted, so he had to lead his troops north.

Most of the front army was killed in the city, and the rear army's granary was lost. Murong Yuan was furious with his loyalty, but Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses were also made of flesh and blood, and he had no intention of fighting anymore at this time.

It's no use trying to boost morale by asking for big rewards for three days. Soldiers who have entered the city know that the people in the city are almost out of food. Most of them are poor. There is nothing worth going to.

Robbed.

The soldiers had no fighting spirit, their food and grass were burned, and the Tuyuhun army had no choice but to leave with Murong Yuanzhong's resentment.

Most of Luoyang City was in ruins. After Tuyuhun's army retreated, the people could only celebrate by banging tiles.

When gathering in the Chongde Hall to discuss meritorious service and reward people, Zhu Yaoshi’s eyes were searching for someone, and after scanning for a long time, he didn’t see him.

"Where is General Ling Yun?"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in shock and did not respond for a long time.

"We must find General Ling Yun. If we want to see people alive or dead, we must see corpses!" Zhu Yaoshi's face was ashen. If Ling Yun could not be found, Zhong Zhiming and Ling Yun's old troops on the other side of the Lianghuai River might change.

Song Huafu looked at the ministers in the palace, and found that they were all out of ten. Some people ran away before the west gate was breached, and some ran away after the west gate was breached. Only a few people followed the court and stayed in the city.

Except for Wang Tiezhu, all the generals have new faces. Most of the old ones died in the battle inside the city and at the west gate.

Qiu Xingzhi also went to court this time. In fact, the court can only talk about merit, and there is no money left to reward him.

Yang Hua and other newcomers who had recently come to Qinwang were still waiting for the emperor to speak. Qiu Xingzhi paused his cane and everyone looked over.

"The city of Luoyang is in dilapidated state, and the people are in dire straits. From the perspective of ordinary people, it is better to return the capital to Jinling as early as possible, and then reward your Majesty after arriving at Jinling!"

Everyone was a little disappointed. Pharmacist Zhu stood up and said, "Everyone who has made great contributions, I will not wait until I go to Jinling to reward you. I will reward you with all the utensils in the imperial city now! You can use them as you like!"

Huai'en and Song Huafu were almost in tears. Song Huafu shouted: "No, Your Majesty. This damages the majesty of the royal family. Where is the majesty of the emperor? Where is the decency of the court?"

Zhu Yaoshi waved his hand, "No need to say more, Lord Secretary. Generals, if you like this throne, you can move it away!"

Although everyone was a little disappointed, they absolutely did not dare to move away the royal artifacts, so everyone quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty! As long as your Majesty behaves well, I don't want any rewards!"

"Your Majesty, the current situation is difficult. We must serve the imperial court to the death, how can we ask for rewards from Your Majesty?"

"The rescue arrived too late, which put Your Majesty in danger. I am guilty!"

Zhu Yaoshi walked down from the throne, "You are the parents of the people, and I am your parents! There is no way for parents to know their rewards and punishments! I appreciate your loyalty! Since you are upright and upright, I will help you! Huaien, you

I will write down the names and birthplaces of these meritorious officials with Neizangku, and I will send an edict to Jinling and ask Jinling to send the rewards directly to the homes of each meritorious official!"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The shout of long live resounded through Chongde Hall, and everyone's eyes were filled with tears. Even Qiu Xingzhi's nose was a little sore. Pharmacist Zhu looked a bit like before.

While everyone was cheering, Zhu Yaoshi's vision went dark and he fell down in the hall. Everyone hurriedly rescued him and sent him to the harem for treatment.

After a lot of hard work and Qiu Xingzhi's elixir, Zhu Yaoshi finally woke up.

Pharmacist Zhu looked at the civil and military officials surrounding him, and a scary smile appeared on his red and black face under the influence of the elixir.

"I know that my health is failing, and it is all supported by Mr. Qiu's elixir. I have no children yet, and I will never have any children even if I think about it. Today, in front of you, I have revealed all my affairs.

It’s time to explain!”

Everyone knelt down and cried, but Qiu Xingzhi stood aside silently.

"Mr. Qiu, do you have anything to say?" Zhu Yaoshi knew that Qiu Xingzhi thought differently from others.

"Your Majesty, in these troubled times, being an emperor is not a good thing. Moreover, this country is suffering from internal and external troubles. Does your Majesty have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Zhu Yaoshi was questioned by Qiu Xingzhi. In fact, none of the people he thought of were satisfactory. Although He Wuji was resourceful and capable of leading troops, he could not convince the crowd; Wang Tiezhu had the highest prestige, but lacked resourcefulness; Song Huafu was slightly better in literature, but could not control it.

In the army, Jia Yuanen has high prestige but is a good gentleman, and the rest are even less so.

Seeing that Zhu Yaoshi didn't answer, Qiu Xingzhi spoke again, "The inheritance of the emperor's throne depends on being just and right. Even if the selected talents are slightly insufficient, as long as everyone helps them wholeheartedly, the country can be continued!"

Song Huafu raised his head, "Mr. Qiu, do you want the emperor to adopt his adopted son and make him the crown prince?"

"Exactly! Only a person with no background can inherit the unification, so that all parties can be balanced and the Wei Dynasty can be prevented from falling into civil strife!"

Pharmacist Zhu breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he was an adopted son, someone would inherit the incense.

"What do you think of Mr. Qiu's idea?"

Everyone naturally understood that if the emperor objected, he would not ask them.

"What Mr. Qiu said is in line with God's will and people's hearts. I agree with you!"

"I second the proposal! Your Majesty, please establish a crown prince as soon as possible!"

Pharmacist Zhu looked at everyone and let out a sigh of relief, "Everyone, go prepare to move the capital. If the people don't want to leave, please ask the minister to send someone to allocate all the fields outside the city to them and re-issue the land deeds to them!"

Over the years, I have not brought any benefit to the people, but instead I have brought harm to them!"

Everyone left the palace with tears in their eyes, leaving only Qiu Xingzhi, Song Huafu, and Wang Tiezhu staying with Zhu Yaoshi.

In fact, what Qiu Xingzhi said was just a stop-gap measure to prevent Yaoshi Zhu from announcing the candidate in public.

At this time, only a few people were present, so Qiu Xingzhi spoke out his true thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I have traveled thousands of miles to Jinling and Lianghuai to suddenly announce the crown prince. If Jinling and Lianghuai have disloyal intentions, or are instigated by traitors, things will inevitably change in the future. Your Majesty can move the capital and issue an edict to recommend him to various places.

Prince, it is not too late to wait until His Majesty Jinling to make a decision."

Zhu Yaoshi glanced at Wang Tiezhu and said, "Tie Zhu, I trust you the most. I want to hear your opinion. Do you have any complaints if the throne is not passed on to you?"

Wang Tiezhu immediately replied, "My brother is a rough man. Who wouldn't want to be the emperor? But I, Wang Tiezhu, am a rough man and I can't sit here. I swear to follow your majesty and your majesty's heir to the death!"

"You, Wang Tiezhu, are the only ones who dare to tell such truth. Well, the safety of the new king will depend on you! From today on, I will make you the general and commander of the army, commanding the army of the country!"

Wang Tiezhu clicked his head and said, "Your Majesty, Marshal He and I are brothers. You can only seal me but not him. This..."

"Idiot! His Majesty conferred you a title so that you can control He Wuji, Zhong Zhiming and others," Qiu Xingzhi couldn't help scolding

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! I still said what I said, and I will protect you and your heirs to the death!" Wang Tiezhu kowtowed repeatedly.

Pharmacist Zhu coughed for a while before he recovered. "That's all, there is one more thing. If I am gone, you must consult Mr. Qiu for all your decisions. Mr. Qiu says you can do it before you do it! And you must also listen to the words of Song Shangshu.

, the two of them are good ministers who govern the country!"

Wang Tiezhu and Song Huafu burst into tears, Qiu Xingzhi continued to remain silent, and Wynn also lowered his head and sobbed.

Zhu Yaoshi's eyes turned to Huai'en, "Huai'en, thanks to you this time, I have made Suiyang City your fiefdom and made you the Marquis of Huai'en County. Don't stop crying, pack up and go to the fiefdom."

.As an emperor and as an eunuch, when I am gone, you will have no one to rely on."

Wynn knelt down and cried, "I am willing to serve your Majesty forever! Please allow your Majesty!"

"I, the dying person is no longer needed. You can go! Before I can decide who will be buried!" Zhu Yaoshi looked outside the hall again.

When it came to burial, the three weeping people fell silent. Huaien kowtowed several times and went to draft the edict. Wang Tiezhu and Song Huafu remained silent.

"That's all, Mr. Qiu, please find my two beloved concubines. When I get down to the ground, let them accompany me!" Zhu Yaoshi was very disappointed with these two women. None of them stayed with her in times of crisis.

.

Wang Tiezhu wanted to plead for mercy, but Song Huafu tugged on his sleeve and finally stopped.

Qiu Xingzhi replied expressionlessly, "The common people will definitely handle this matter!"

After explaining these, Zhu Yaoshi waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse. He wanted to be quiet for a while, so he only called in a few palace maids and eunuchs to serve him.

The sick dragon in Luoyang asked for his funeral, and the fierce tiger met the beautiful woman in Yuzhang. Li Xiaofei and the Wei army teamed up to raid Yuzhang, and they broke through Yuzhang and entered the city in three days.

Most of the city's defenders surrendered, and the prominent figures held beam flags to welcome Li Xiaofei's Southern Navy.

"Master Li, the fathers of Yuzhang City have been waiting for you for a long time, just like they look forward to the rain after a long drought!" A group of well-known people in Yuzhang City were also the first to come to greet Li Xiaofei.

Looking at the colorful flags and flowers, the welcoming people lined the streets, and these big businessmen bringing wine and meat, Li Xiaofei kept waving to him, and he didn't like the man next to him whom they recommended, Mr. Wang.

Li Xiaofei thought to himself, if Cui Ju comes back tomorrow, you will not be waiting for the rain for a long time. Mr. Wang is a little embarrassed, but almost no one cares.

"Master Li, my father has good intentions and brings you food and wine to work for you, but you don't even reply to his words or even look at him. Isn't this too much of a deception?" A woman flashed angrily behind Mr. Wang.

He yelled at Li Xiaofei.

At this time, Mr. Wang's face turned pale and he knelt down immediately, "My little girl is ignorant and offends you. Please, Mr. Li, please don't remember the villain's fault!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on this woman, but the woman still pressed the scabbard on her waist with an angry look on her face.

Li Xiaofei helped Mr. Wang up slowly, "Mr. Wang, what are you talking about? Li was too busy to welcome the people just now and did not respond. It's Li's fault. This rich man of yours is very important."

She is truly a woman who cannot be compared to men!"

"Why don't you meet Mr. Li soon?"

"If you have anything to pray for, I won't!" The woman pursed her lips and looked dissatisfied.

Mr. Wang was already pale and stuttering a little. Li Xiaofei supported him and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We started the army just for the people. As long as the people are safe, we are not doing it for arrogance! Ling Qianjin is very courageous."

It will definitely become a great thing in the future!”

The woman sneered, "I have long heard that Mr. Li is a close confidant of Emperor Liang, and he relied on flattery to win the throne. Today I learned a lesson! You bankrupted us all for the sake of the people! Do you know how many years of savings we have spent and sold to welcome you today?

How many industries have you created?”

Mr. Wang fainted immediately, and other large businessmen also turned pale. This woman was too ignorant of the occasion.

"Ms. Wang, please stop saying a few words. This is all of our own free will!"

"Master Li, Miss Wang must have been stimulated by something. Please forgive me, Master Li!"

Li Xiaofei laughed loudly: "Very good, very good. This Yuzhang City is also a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden. That's right, don't be afraid. We will compensate you for your expenses. Not only do I not blame this girl, I will also invite her to join the army."

I’m a guest here! Everyone, keep moving forward, come here.”

As he spoke, Li Xiaofei took hold of Mr. Wang who had just woken up with one hand, and took another wealthy businessman Wen Wanwan with the other hand and walked forward side by side.
