Chapter 461 The Emperor's Appeasement
(Thank you Mengmeng for her unregulated adjustment, and the monthly ticket support of Kang Kang Baby, thank you everyone!)
In March of the second year of Qianfu, the flowers bloomed and the grass grew and the birds were flying. It was originally a great time to go to spring. [Supreme Power]
However, the entire imperial capital Chang'an is now assassinated by a young master. The whole city is assassinated for many days, and the whole city is covered with a tense atmosphere. On March 3, 3,000 light cavalry of the Zhenguo Army arrived outside the Tonghua Gate, the north gate of the East City, causing panic and nervousness of the gatekeeper Ce Army. These fierce Zhenguo Army knights held the Zhenguo Army's battle flag, galloping like flying, passing by, riding guns like forests and sabers like snow.
Finally, even the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall rushed to the Tonghua Gate Tower, and Yu Cong called out to the knights under the city.
The knights below expressed their request, and they asked Tian Lingzi to hand over all the escaped assassins who assassinated Li Jing in Gaoling City. Hearing this request, several prime ministers in the city discussed it and did not dare to directly reject the request of the Zhenguo Army. Li Jing has not woken up yet. If he angered these fierce Zhenguo Army, who would know what kind of thing these Qiu Ba would do?
When the news was reported to the palace, Tian Lingzi was serving the emperor carefully and cautiously. The emperor jumped off the horse. After hearing the return from Zheng Ting who rushed back, he turned to Tian Lingzi with a cold face and said, "Left this matter to Lieutenant Tian, please handle it well."
After saying that, he turned over and left. The martial law in Chang'an these days, even the entire Daming Palace was filled with a tense atmosphere, which made Li Yan very uncomfortable. But this matter cannot be blamed on the soldiers of Zhenguo Army. After all, Li Jing is still unconscious and his life and death are unknown. Now the court cannot find a general and soldier who can fight. Zheng Congxian and Yu Yan outside the city have more than 10,000 elite soldiers, but these people are still surrounded by Zhenguo Army.
In addition, Zhang Tai, Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong and other eunuchs kept taking the opportunity to say bad things about Tian Lingzi in front of the emperor. Therefore, the emperor finally pushed all the blame to Tian Lingzi. Tian Lingzi is really careful these days, walking on thin ice, and almost everyone is shouting and beating like a mouse crossing the street.
"Mr. Tian, do you really want to hand over those brothers?" As soon as you left the palace gate, several of Tian Lingzi's confidant imperial guards asked immediately. "In that case, I'm afraid that the brothers below will be disappointed and the people's hearts will be disbanded, and the team will be difficult to lead."
"This time our house has capsized in the gutter. This lesson is so painful." Tian Lingzi frowned and said, "What we have to do now is to keep a low profile. In addition, burn some incense in front of the gods and Buddhas, and tribute more incense oil. I pray that Li Jing can wake up early." The experiences these days made Tian Lingzi finally understand that Li Jing was just a coach in the foreign town. If he didn't give himself face, he would be thousands of miles away. His real enemy, the one who really wanted to kill him was Ximen Sigong, Yang Fugong, Zhang Tai and others in the palace.
He fought with Li Jing hard, but Li Jing fell down, but he didn't get any benefits at all, but instead fell into an extremely dangerous situation. The emperor and him became increasingly distant, and he had to solve the problem of the Zhenguo Army as soon as possible. Now he can't use force against them. Then he can only bow his head and spend money to buy peace.
"Those people are also a group of waste, and keeping them is just a waste of food and field. You will immediately take people to arrest all of them and send them to the outside of the city to the Zhenguo Army for disposal. In addition, give the killer named Mei who was secretly detained to the Zhenguo Army together."
On that day, Tian Lingzi handed over the hundreds of imperial guards, the outlaws, and the killer named Mei to the hands of the Zhenguo Army. The Zhenguo Army cavalry obtained this group of people and finally returned with satisfaction, which made the court ministers and the imperial guards on the city breathe a sigh of relief and felt very disgraceful. The dignified court actually had no choice but to these foreign soldiers.
Now almost all the people in Chang'an City, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, peddlers and barons, pray for Li Jing, hoping that he would wake up. After all, if Li Jing doesn't wake up for a day, the warning in Chang'an may not be lifted for a day. The lockdown of Chang'an City has seriously affected the lives of the people. Not only are the prices of various goods beginning to rise, but many merchants cannot even leave the city.
In Chang'an, everyone scolded Li Jing and the young army in Zhenguo. Almost everyone was talking about it, and they were scolding Tian Lingzi in their backs. In particular, Tian Lingzi often sent people to the Chang'an market to force buying goods, or even robbery, which had long caused resentment from countless people, and at this time, they naturally cursed.
On the fifth day of March, the Zhenguo Army came again. This time, more came, with 5,000 cavalrymen, which shone under the city. This caused the soldiers and officials in the city to panic again. This time, the Zhenguo Army generals brought up the request to provide food and grass in the city.
Hearing that he had just asked for food and grass, the emperor was relieved. After several mobilizations, he mobilized 10,000 stones of food and grass, and 1,000 pigs and sheep, 3,000 chickens, ducks and geese. He sent the prime minister Yu Cong to send him out of the city himself, and followed him to Bashang, representing the emperor and the court to visit the army in the country, and to visit Li Jing.
At dusk that day, Wang Cong returned to Chang'an City and brought back a message at the same time. Li Jing finally woke up in the afternoon.
The news soon spread throughout Chang'an City like a wind, and the people in the city cheered.
Mariss Li finally woke up. If he didn't wake up again, the population of more than one million people in Chang'an City was about to go crazy.
After Li Jing woke up, the next morning, the emperor sent Yu Cong to Bashang again, this time bringing the emperor's condolences.
When Yu Cong arrived at Bashang again, the atmosphere in the entire military camp had changed. The tension and anger had turned into cheers. The soldiers of the Zhenguo Army also replaced the iron armored robes, took off their swirl jackets, and only wore the interlayer robe. Even the iron helmets on their heads were replaced with hats or cloth scarves.
As soon as he entered the tent of the Central Army, there was also a lot of laughter and joy. Li Jing, who finally "awakened" yesterday, was sitting on a soft couch in the upper position, leaning half and half backing, with a hint of pale face, but his whole body was pretty energetic.
Below Li Jing, there were Zheng Congxian and Yu Feng and other town leaders and generals. Although Zheng Congxian and Yu Feng were both higher than Li Jing's official positions, Cui Anqian and others were also more respected than Li Jing. However, everyone was very happy that Li Jing finally woke up and asked Li Jing to sit in the main seat. After all, this was Li Jing's camp.
Pigs and sheep were slaughtered outside the tent, and the soldiers were rewarded with wine and meat. The banquets in the tent were placed. Generals gathered and laughed loudly, all celebrating Li Jing's escape. Li Jing used tea instead of wine and toasted everyone frequently. This time, Li Jing was seriously injured and hid in the tent. The generals of the towns came to visit several times. Although they were stopped outside, Li Jing knew it. Especially when the Zhenguo Army surrounded the troops of each town, they did not have any conflict with the Zhenguo Army.
Li Jing knew that this was the support of the generals. Otherwise, Zheng Congxian and his seven towns and three divisions would have 14,000 troops. If they were willing to nod and send troops to deal with the Zhenguo Army, plus the Shence Army inside and outside the city, things would probably be a result again.
When Zheng Congxian and Yu Feng woke up, they immediately restrained the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army and were very satisfied. Although Li Jing was murdered twice, he not only did not resent the court, but could immediately restrain his subordinates, which fully demonstrated that he was a loyal and patriotic general and his character was admirable.
Yu Cong's arrival made the atmosphere in the tent even more enthusiastic. Yu Cong announced the emperor's edict on the spot to comfort Li Jing, and also read out the promotion and reward of Li Jingxin by the Emperor and the Political Affairs Hall. Li Jing was originally the General of the Jinwu Guard, but now he was promoted to the General of the Southern Yawei Army from the second-rank Left Guard, and was promoted to the General of the Second-rank Auxiliary State of Li Jing, and was specially awarded the title of the Supreme Pillar State. He also awarded one thousand households with real food, and the real food fief increased to two thousand households. Li Jing also gave a Drum and Music Department, thirty-six female geniuses, thirteen sets of treasure armor collected by the royal arsenal of the Weiwei Temple, seven swords, three horse spears, and three red lacquer treasure bows. The original Minister of Justice of the Procuratorate was also appointed to the Procuratorate and the position of the Second-rank Junior of the Ministry of Justice.
In addition, he also gave out one million yuan to the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army and the other seven towns and three divisions to reward the soldiers.
Hearing such a generous reward, the generals of the town were a little surprised. The court now relies almost exclusively on the southeast tax, so they took out so much money at once. Wang Cong explained with a smile that the money was actually taken out by Tian Lingzi. After that, he took out the one million stale money given to him by Tian Lingzi and handed it to Zheng Congxi and others. Zheng Congxi was originally unwilling to accept it, but Li Jing smiled and said, "Since it is the kindness of Eunuch Tian, how can everyone not accept it? Otherwise, if all the generals don't accept it, how can the soldiers below be collected?"
In this way, one million trump card was given to the soldiers of the army on the surface, and the other million was given to the generals and generals. The eight towns and three tribes were divided into 100,000 yuan per town, and the other three tribes were divided into 200,000 yuan. The generals and officials were divided into 1 million yuan, and the brothers below were divided into 1 million yuan.
With this division, Li Jing, who had the most soldiers, was at a disadvantage, but Li Jing didn't care too much. The Zhenguo Army had already knocked Tian Lingzi for two million. For these two million, we can share the money together. Thank you for your previous silent support. Seeing Li Jing was so generous, all the towns were very happy. The towns had divided 200,000 in one town, which was not a decimal. The soldiers below could all be divided 100,000, and the generals and officials had 100,000. Almost all the losses in Hedong were back. Everyone also knew that if it weren't for the Zhenguo Army, they would not have gotten the money.
The 200,000 he received was not paid for by Li Jing. He gave 100,000 to the soldiers, each of whom was five stakes, and 100,000 to the officers, and according to their official positions, they were given.
