The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 725
Cheng Guogong's mansion, with the arrival of the imperial decree, the whole mansion is busy.

"Award Lu Liqing with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and order Lu Liqing, Duke Cheng, to take charge of the military forces on the western front, and give the commanders and envoys the right to kill first and then play. I hope you will live up to my great trust, put down the rebellion, hold the enemy's chieftain, and ask the imperial court for crimes!"

After listening to the imperial edict, all the clansmen in the palace were happy.

The last time Lu Liqing was dismissed from office and reprimanded by the emperor after he returned to Beijing, the status of the government took a turn for the worse, and everyone in the Lu family had to keep their tails between their legs.

Now this imperial decree has not only reversed the decline of the Lu family, but also made their honor and favor even better than before.

The former prince and grand master became a grand master, and he was added the title of minister of the Ministry of War, and gave the command and envoy the right to behead first and then play.

This kind of favor and trust has not happened much since the founding of the country. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Lu family is the first family in Dajin besides the royal family.

"My lord, accept the decree!"

The eunuch's reminder pulled Lu Liqing out of his thoughts, and he took over the imperial decree dumbly.

"Sir Lu Liqing, thank the emperor for his grace!"

After the decree was announced, the eunuch left with the guards, and the members of the Lu family who received the decree all laughed and chatted.

"Congratulations, Master Hexi!"

Someone took the lead, and the others followed to congratulate, but Lu Liqing's face became even more gloomy.

Picking up the imperial decree casually, Lu Liqing left with a straight face. His reaction made the people present deeply puzzled.

"This is……"

Lu Liqing's son, Lu Jiahao, was also puzzled, and immediately followed his father into the inner hall. The two of them didn't speak a word all the way until they came to the study after several turns.

Looking at his father with a livid face, Lu Jiahao asked, "Father...are you unhappy?"

Lu Liqing snorted coldly, looked at his son in his thirties who was still immature, and asked, "Should I be happy?"

In fact, it's not that Lu Jiahao is incompetent, the main reason is that with his strong father, being a son always looks unsatisfactory.

"Is dad worried?"

"You're not too stupid!"

"Father, after all, there are 20 troops in the imperial court. As long as you stay safe and don't advance rashly, it's easy to stop the rebels!"

Hearing this, Lu Liqing sneered and said, "Just you kid, how dare you teach me how to use soldiers?"

"Son, how dare you!" Lu Jiahao quickly lowered his head.

At this moment, Lu Liqing did not scold his son, but analyzed: "King Yong's army is very strong, and it is not so easy to resist. Otherwise, no matter how unbearable the Western Front camp is, it shouldn't be defeated overnight!"

The Western Front Army was run by Lu Liqing alone, and he knew best how powerful this army was in the entire Great Jin Dynasty.

But such an army was destroyed overnight by the Yong army, which further showed how powerful the Yong army was.

With a group of good and bad troops, fighting against such an extremely powerful army, Lu Liqing felt endless despair.

I only heard Lu Liqing continue to say: "What is the minister of the Grand Master's Ministry of War, what is the right to kill first and then play, these superficial honors will be father's reminders in the future!"

Hearing this, Lu Jiahao was startled and asked, "Father... Is there really no chance of winning this battle?"

After thinking for a while, Lu Liqing said: "Odds of winning? If we were in Hanshui and gathered all the strong soldiers of the imperial court, maybe there is still a possibility of victory!"

"The land in the northwest is barren and bitterly cold, how can there be such a strong army!" Lu Jiahao was very puzzled.

Lu Liqing said: "Who knows, maybe the northwest is a treasure land, otherwise there will be two heroes!"

In Lu Liqing's words, juxtaposing Zhao Yanxun and Taizong Zhao Hongzhang is undoubtedly a high recognition of the former.

This is Lu Jiahao saying: "Father, why don't you ask the emperor to resign and just say that you are sick?"

"Sick? I'm sick at this time, are you an idiot for the emperor?"

Lu Liqing hated iron for being weak, and only heard him say: "The two major crimes of resisting the edict and deceiving the emperor are enough to destroy our whole family!"

In fact, he thought about turning down the job when the eunuch read the imperial decree, but he rejected it in the end.

Sending the imperial decree directly to the door means that it cannot be refused.

"I was born to hold the enemy's chieftain, and I will ask the imperial court... I will go for my father, and I may never come back!"

…………

When Lu Liqing was feeling emotional, Cao Yunhui was reporting the situation to Concubine Xiang Duan in a remote courtyard in the south of the capital.

"You mean, my son is west of Chen Bing's stagnant water?"

"Exactly!"

Concubine Duan said with concern: "The imperial court has 20 troops, but my son only has [-]. I'm afraid I can't catch them!"

"Auntie, don't worry, as long as His Highness builds the ship, it will be a battle!"

Speaking of this, Cao Yunhui said with a smile: "It won't be long, aunt, you will be the empress dowager!"

The empress dowager was the pinnacle of women's status in ancient times. When Concubine Duan heard these three words, a smile appeared on her face.

This is a proud smile, but also a smile with hope and longing.

Concubine Duan suppressed her smile and said again: "I heard that the Xue family took the lead in rebelling against my son?"

The Xue family publicized that King Yong was an anti-thief inside and outside the court hall, and the government deliberately spread it, and everyone in the capital knew it.

"Exactly!"

"Hmph...these idiots!" Concubine Duan gritted her teeth in anger.

Cao Yunhui continued: "The Lin family and the Huang family are all imprisoned now!"

Concubine Duan sneered and said, "Lin Guanhai prides himself on being clean and wants to be a loyal minister, but now he doesn't know how he feels!"

From the beginning to the end, Lin Guanhai stood opposite her, so Concubine Duan never got used to him.

For King Yong's family affairs, Cao Yunhui kept Qianmo.

He didn't stay in Longyou for a long time, but he also knew that Lin Jingyu was the most favored.

But judging from what my aunt means, the relationship with Xue Lin and the two of them may not be good in the future, and there will be troubles in King Yong's inner house.

After a few breaths of silence, Concubine Duan said again: "Nowadays the city is under strict investigation, you should come here as little as possible!"

"Yes!"

"There's still something for you!"

"Auntie, tell me!"

Concubine Duan turned around, and said slowly: "Let your people find a way, so that bitch Li can't die!"

Cao Yunhui naturally knew who that bitch of the Li family was.

Concubine Duan continued: "If you have to find a way to tell her, just say what I say... If she seeks her own death, I will let the Li family be buried with her!"

Concubine Duan's clothes are simple, but she is threatening the empress dowager. This contrast is not ordinary.

But this job is not easy to do, so Cao Yunhui frowned.

But he still simply replied: "Nephew will take care of it!"

He definitely won't be able to see the Li family, so he can only start with the Li family.

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Cao Yunhui left, and after more than a minute, a kid ran into Concubine Duan's room.

"Grandma... has something delicious!"

This child is called Shuanzi, and he is the grandson of the Liu family next door to Concubine Duan.

"You bastard, you have a sharp nose!"

Concubine Duan took out a small cloth bag from behind, which contained chopped dried meat, which is a rare delicacy in the capital.

"I'll give you a few pieces to eat!"

There was not much in the cloth bag, not because Cao Yunhui couldn't get it, but because Concubine Duan felt that there was no need to be too public.

Concubine Duan doesn't want anything except the basic food.

Watching Shuanzi eating, Concubine Duan's thoughts went beyond the sky.

She can't wait to take revenge on Mrs. Li and those courtiers.

…………

"Brother Wan An, it's time to drink the medicine!"

Lin Guanhai squatted in front of Huang Wan'an with a medicine bowl in his prison.

At this moment, Huang Wan'an was lying on the bed. This man's face was pale, obviously suffering from illness.

The conditions in the prison are very poor, and it is not uncommon to die in prison.

Hearing Lin Guanhai's call, Huang Wan'an on the bed turned around with difficulty and said, "Brother Lin... Thank you very much!"

Lin Guanhai immediately said: "There is no need to thank me for this, drink the medicine quickly!"

After gulping it down, Huang Wan'an sat on the bed, looked at Lin Guanhai and said, "Thanks to you, I can live in this kind of cell, and I can also drink medicine in the supervisor's cell!"

On the day Lin Guanhai was arrested by the supervisor, the emperor personally sent eunuchs to greet him, saying that it was expedient to imprison him, and told Lin Guanhai not to worry.

"It's all thanks to the emperor's sageness!" Lin Guanhai said with emotion.

Is the emperor holy?Anyway, Huang Wan'an didn't think so, after all, his family was hurt badly by the emperor.
