Unparalleled Concubine

He bowed to the two of them repeatedly.

"If His Majesty finds out that the two great generals saluted the servants, the servants will have to crash and die in Weiyang Palace when they return to the capital!"

Chapter 595

Normally, this kind of eunuch in charge of the inner court would not easily leave the palace, let alone the capital, just like the great eunuch Chen Ju, who almost never left the capital in the entire Chengde Dynasty.

After all, the Eight Supervisors of the Inner Court had to be on their shoulders.

Although today's Eight Inspectors of the Inner Court are still somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Zheng, a young man, but he is the only one in the Inner Court's Young Inspector, and he can be regarded as a high position in the palace. He will do it.

In the eighth prison, there is another yamen that is responsible for conveying the holy will.

But Xiao Zheng just came.

Li Xin and Ye Ming looked at each other with some doubts in their hearts.

Now there are two possibilities, one is that the young Duke Xiao offended His Majesty, lost his holy family, and was relegated to the yamen responsible for proclaiming the imperial decree.

The second possibility is that the imperial court, or His Majesty has important matters, and the great eunuch Xiao Zheng must convey them personally.

Ye Ming smiled and said to Xiao Zheng: "Eunuch Xiao is not serving His Majesty, why did you go to the southwest personally without hesitation?"

Xiao Zheng rubbed his waist, then bowed his head to Ye Ming, and said respectfully: "Back to the general, Your Majesty has a sacred intention, and you want your servant to come to the southwest to convey it. The servant is not a noble person. Your Majesty wants the servant to come, and the servant is natural." To come."

Li Xin stood behind Ye Ming without speaking.

Ye Ming asked tentatively: "Your Majesty knows about the Southwest?"

Xiao Zheng lowered his head and smiled and said, "Your Majesty received news from Southwest seven days ago. Long Yan was very happy. He ordered Weiyang Palace to hold a grand banquet for the officials, and exempt Southwest from taxes for three years, saying that it was for Southwest to recuperate."

This is actually a normal operation. After experiencing this incident in Southwest China, the situation is already unstable. If the court immediately collects taxes after taking over, there may be troubles again. Moreover, the Taikang Dynasty inherited the inheritance of the Chengde Dynasty, and the treasury is not poor. Exempting the Southwest from taxes for three years will not affect anything.

What's more, the court's tax-heavy land is not in the southwest.

As the general manager of the Western Expedition, Ye Ming bent slightly towards Xiao Zheng, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty cares about the people of Li, and I am on behalf of the people of Shu County. Thank you for your kindness."

Xiao Zheng waved his hands again and again, shook his head and said: "These words are what the General told His Majesty after he returned to Beijing. How dare a slave, a servant, be honored by the General?"

Ye Ming smiled and didn't say much.

Xiao Zheng secretly glanced at Li Xin behind Ye Ming, and then continued to Ye Ming: "General, Your Majesty sent a servant to ask the General some questions. The following is a servant to ask questions on behalf of His Majesty. If there is any offense, the General Haihan."

Ye Ming and Li Xin both knelt down when they heard the words.

Asking on behalf of the emperor, that is to say, Xiao Zheng is now the emperor of Taikang, and both of them should give him some necessary respect.

Xiao Zheng quickly waved his hands and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty has ordered, both of you have made great contributions to the court, just stand and listen."

The two of them just pretended to stand up after hearing this sentence, and listened to the "hadith" with their hands down.

Xiao Zheng coughed and became serious.

"On behalf of His Majesty, I asked General Ye, has the Southwest side been completely calmed down now?"

Hearing this, Ye Ming frowned slightly, then turned to look at Li Xin.

Li Xin nodded slightly.

Only then did Ye Shaobao say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, after more than a year of fighting and fighting with the Marquis of Jing'an in the southwest, all of them have been pacified. The Pingnan Army has more than 13 people. 11 were killed by the forbidden army and the rebel army. More than [-] people were captured."

The Pingnan Army is far more than 13 people, at least [-] to [-]. Ye Ming and Li Xin both know this, but after all, they did not kill so many people. After discussing with Li Xin, I decided to say less.

"The leader of the Pingnan army's bandit, as well as His Highness King Qin who wandered here inexplicably, and the ministers have all been captured. They will be escorted to Beijing in a few days and handed over to His Majesty for disposal!"

Here, Ye Ming speaks very skillfully. He didn't directly refer to Li Shen, but to the leader of the Pingnan army bandit.

Because Li Shen actually "died" in the capital.

Li Xin, Marquis of Jing'an, went to his funeral.

When Ye Ming said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "At this time, the ministers are sorting out the specific casualties and the number of enemies killed in this Western Expedition. After the ministers have finished counting, they will be sent to the capital immediately."

There is a distinction between primary and secondary on the battlefield. Ye Ming is the general manager of this Western Expedition. Therefore, when Xiao Zheng asked the emperor on behalf of the emperor, Ye Ming should answer all the questions. During this process, Jing'an Hou Li Xin stood by Ye Ming Behind him, he didn't say a word.

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, and took one last look at Ye Ming.

"General, are you sure there is nothing wrong with Southwest?"

Ye Shaobao said solemnly: "Go back to Your Majesty, the Southwest is fine!"

"Well."

Xiao Zheng looked solemn, turned his head to look in Li Xin's direction, and said in a deep voice: "Jing'an Hou Li Xin listens to the order."

Li Xin took a step forward, bowed his head and said, "My minister Li Xin listens to the order."

Xiao Zheng said solemnly: "Li Xin, the Marquis of Jing'an, has made great achievements in the Western Expedition. I am very relieved. Now that the Southwest has been calmed down, you don't need to stay here for a long time. I have been thinking about King Qin in my heart for several years. The feeling of brotherhood is getting deeper and deeper. Qing immediately escorted the eldest brother and the Pingnan army...the bandits head back to Beijing."

Having said that, Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, and smiled obsequiously at Li Xin: "Master Hou, that's what His Majesty said."

Li Xin frowned slightly at first, then smiled at Eunuch Xiao, and said, "Your Majesty, you want me to take His Highness King Qin and that... Pingnan army leader back to the capital right away?"

"exactly."

With a smile on his face, Xiao Zheng bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty said, if there is no major event in the southwest, I will leave it to General Ye to deal with the aftermath and let Hou Ye set off for Beijing immediately."

This Eunuch Xiao accompanied him with a smile on his face: "It's been almost a year and a half since Lord Hou left Beijing, Your Majesty misses Lord Hou very much."

Li Xin didn't speak immediately, but looked back at Ye Ming.

General Ye stepped forward, frowned and said: "Eunuch Xiao, the Marquis of Jing'an has contributed the most in this battle, and he needs to help deal with many things here, and even if His Majesty has no order, in a month or two, the court will assign After the officials come over, I should be waiting for the class teacher to return, why worry about this moment?"

Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "General, this is embarrassing for the servants. The servants are mere servants. How can I know these important family and country affairs? The servants only came to the southwest to ask questions and deliver the decree. Slave, I will help you bring it back to the capital and hand it over to His Majesty."

Li Xin reached out and patted Ye Ming's shoulder lightly, then cupped his hands to Xiao Zheng.

"Eunuch Xiao, can you wait another day? After all, the imperial guards here are all subordinates to the right battalion of my imperial guards. It is inconvenient for General Ye to say a lot of things. I will explain some things to them here."

Lord Jing'an narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Besides, Eunuch Xiao had a hard journey along the way. I saw that Eunuch Xiao couldn't stand firmly just now, so he has to rest in Jincheng for a day before going on the road."

Xiao Zheng cupped his hands again and again.

"Master Hou is just busy. The slaves are waiting here and will go back to Beijing with Master Hou."

Speaking of this, this Eunuch Xiao rubbed his waist and added: "It's just that Lord Hou should not delay for too long, otherwise the servants will be punished by His Majesty when they return to the capital."
