Chapter 1015: Get Carried Away
Since Song Hai's victory in Blue Leaf City, Li Yuntian's pace of life has become busy, and the entire Lecture Hall has been running quickly like a machine with full horsepower, making various preparations for the reinforcement of the Western Regions.
After all, the orthodox emperor had already promised Li Yuntian in the main hall that he could prepare for the increase of troops in the Western Regions, so Li Yuntian had to prepare all the affairs before the news of Song Hai's defeat came, so as not to be in a hurry at that time.
Song Hai's "great victory" in Blue Leaf City made Li Yuntian convinced that the Timurid Empire's army was brewing a huge conspiracy against the western expeditionary army led by Song Hai, although he knew that Song Hai was in danger but Li Yuntian was helpless, but he couldn't run to the palace to tell the Empress Dowager Zhang that Song Hai's "great victory" might be a false image deliberately created by the Timurid Empire, which made the Empress Dowager Zhang, who had high hopes for Song Hai, embarrassed? Is it accusing the wrong person of using it?
Moreover, this will also make the outside world have a lot of criticism of Li Yuntian, after all, now that the war in the Western Regions is still going on, isn't Li Yuntian destroying his own prestige and the enemy's ambition?
What is particularly important is that since Li Yuntian knows so much about the Timurid Empire, why didn't Li Yuntian take command of the expedition when the court was meeting that day? On the contrary, what is the intention of pointing fingers at the Western Expeditionary Army now?
Therefore, Li Yuntian can only wait for the battle report from the Western Regions now, and he can only act according to the plan after Song Hai is really defeated in the Western Regions.
For Li Yuntian, he knew that Song Hai would lose the battle in the Western Regions, but he had no choice but to wait for the latest news in the Western Regions, and this process was undoubtedly an unbearable torment.
Unlike Li Yuntian, who was preoccupied, the Wuguo Mansion was not aware of the huge crisis that Song Hai was facing in the Western Regions, and it was still a lively and festive situation, with an endless stream of guests visiting the door.
With the defeat of Yang Sanyu Blackwater City as a comparison, Song Hai's Blue Leaf City victory seems to be on a higher level, and some people in the capital have compared the victory of Blue Leaf City with the battle of Li Yuntian's Tiger Skin Battalion, which defeated the main force of the Northern Yuan soldiers in Liaodong, and believe that Song Hai's Blue Leaf City victory also played a role in turning the tide and saving the crisis in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, out of nowhere, the remarks that Song Hai should be crowned king were set off in the capital, which intensified under the impetus of some people, and there was a great deal of Song Hai's posture that Song Hai would be sorry for his military exploits in the Western Regions if he was not crowned king, and at the same time, it also chilled the hearts of people all over the world.
However, for Song Haifeng's remarks, many powerful people in the capital sneered, whether the victory of Blue Leaf City was as good as the military exploits of the Song poster is still unknown, after all, it has become a tradition for the Weisuo army to lie about military exploits, and if you want to compare with Li Yuntian's victory in the tiger skin camp in Liaodong back then, the victory of Blue Leaf City is not yet qualified.
Not to mention anything else, the situation faced by Li Yuntian and Song Hai when they set out on the expedition was different, Li Yuntian rushed to Liaodong with only 5,000 Xiaowu troops that year, which can be described as a lonely danger.
As a result, Li Yuntian not only defeated more than 200,000 Northern Yuan soldiers in Liaodong, but also established a powerful Liaodong Army in the war, crossed the Shanhai Pass and waved his army southward to sweep away the Northern Yuan army that was rampant in Beizhili in one fell swoop, captured the Northern Yuan Taishi Arutai alive and forced the Guanxi Army to surrender, making the Monan region owned by the Ming Dynasty, which is impressive.
On the other hand, Song Hai, the Western Expeditionary Army not only had a large number of people but also sufficient food and grass, and the elite of the Ming Wei Army could be said to be all dispatched, which can be called the elite of the soldiers, so that the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition army had to avoid its edge.
Besides, even if the Western Expeditionary Army was defeated, Li Yuntian would be able to immediately form a huge reinforcement army to reinforce the Western Regions, so Song Hai's victory in Blue Leaf City was far from saving the Ming Dynasty from danger.
The Jing Nan nobles in the capital know very well that the reason why the remarks of Song Hai sealing the king are circulating on the market must be that those founding nobles are building momentum for Song Hai, and their purpose is naturally to show the Empress Dowager Zhang in the palace, so that the reward received by Song Hai's class after returning to the dynasty will be more generous, and it is not possible that the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family will also crown Song Hai as soon as she is happy.
Li Yuntian naturally heard the recent rumors about Song Hai in the capital, but his energy was focused on the battle situation in the Western Regions, where did he have the heart to pay attention to such a boring thing.
Whether Song Hai is crowned king or not, it has little to do with Li Yuntian, after all, the two belong to two different systems in the Ming army, and Song Hai will not be able to get involved in the affairs of the martial arts hall even if he is crowned king.
Moreover, Li Yuntian is the first nobleman in the Ming Dynasty to be crowned king, and even if Song Hai is crowned king, he will be ranked behind him, and he will never be able to surpass Li Yuntian's status in the court.
However, some things will always come unexpectedly, although Li Yuntian did not take the rumors related to Song Hai in the capital to heart, but some people got carried away because of this, and they actually provoked him for a while.
"Lord Wang, something happened in the Quartet Hall, someone got drunk and pestered Miss Sakurako, and now there has been a commotion in the Quartet Hall!"
That night, when Li Yuntian was dealing with the matter of mobilizing Mongolian soldiers and Jurchen soldiers to fight in the Western Regions in the lecture hall, Lin Xin walked in quickly, and after seeing him buried in the official documents, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
Although Li Yuntian said lightly during the court meeting, in fact, it was not easy to mobilize Mongolian soldiers and Jurchen soldiers to participate in the war, and there were many things involved, and these things had to be summarized in front of Li Yuntian and handled by Li Yuntian.
Lin Xin knew that Li Yuntian had been busy with the situation in the Western Regions recently, and she didn't want to disturb him, but tonight's matter was very special and she had to tell Li Yuntian.
"Oh?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this, his eyes showed a look of surprise, in recent years, no one dared to spread wild in the Quartet Hall, and there were only minor disputes, but he would definitely not play tricks in the Quartet Hall.
"Something to do with the Wuguo Mansion?" Then, Li Yuntian's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and he looked at Lin Xin and asked.
Generally speaking, the fixed system of power is not easily broken, because it means bloody fighting, and once this happens, it means that there are forces that want to gain more rights.
Looking at the Ming Dynasty, there are very few people who dare to provoke Li Yuntian, and Li Yuntian has always pursued the strategy of "rain and dew are evenly wet", and he will never eat alone, plus his forces are mainly in the martial arts hall, so there is no need for anyone in the court to challenge him, and no one can be in charge of the martial arts hall except Li Yuntian.
Therefore, Li Yuntian only had to think about it for a little time to guess that there was a chance that the matter was related to the Wuguo Mansion, and now that the Wuguo Mansion was in the limelight in the capital, I am afraid that no one would dare to make trouble in the Sifang Guild Hall except for the people from the Wuguo Mansion.
"Hmmm! The eldest son of Wu Guogong asked Sakura to accompany him at night, but Sakura did not comply, and the eldest son of Wu Guogong wanted to forcibly take her away, so he clashed with the people of the Sifang Guild Hall, and the people of Shuntianfu and Wucheng Bing and Ma Si were helpless about it. ”
Lin Xin bowed slightly when she heard this, and then replied with a serious expression, she was not surprised at all that Li Yuntian could guess the reason for the matter, otherwise Li Yuntian would not be the loyal martial king of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's not worrying to be real!" Li Yuntian's brows furrowed, he got up and stood up from his seat, stretched his waist and said to Lin Xin, "Let's go, go to the Sifang Hall with this king." ”
Lin Xin bowed after hearing this, and immediately went down to make arrangements, with her understanding of Li Yuntian, although Li Yuntian has never liked to bully people, but if anyone knocks on the door, he will definitely not turn a blind eye, otherwise how will the Zhongwu Mansion gain a foothold in the capital in the future?
Everyone knows that the Sifang Hall is the industry of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and the principals of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce are Li Yuntian's concubines Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou.
What is particularly important is that although Li Yuntian and Sakura are innocent, the outside world thinks that Sakura is Li Yuntian's woman, there is no need for Li Yuntian to explain this kind of thing, and it is not clear to explain it, people want to imagine the relationship between him and Sakurako, and it is just a topic of conversation for the people after dinner.
Therefore, when Sakura was entangled and the other party still wanted the overlord to bow hard, the matter had a subtle connection with Li Yuntian: if he sat back and watched Sakura's humiliation and was indifferent, then not only should the outside world think that he was afraid of the Wuguo Mansion, but his reputation and the prestige of the Zhongwu Mansion would be greatly damaged.
It can be said that Li Yuntian will have to deal with the matter of Sakura this time, because no one from the yamen in the capital now dares to provoke the Wuguo Mansion, which can be described as in the limelight, not to mention the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Shuntian Mansion who are responsible for the security of the capital, where do they dare to deal with this kind of matter related to the Zhongwu Wangfu and the Wuguo Mansion.
At the same time, Li Yuntian's heart was also a little annoyed, the eldest son of Duke Wu was also a little too carried away, and he dared to provoke the palace of Zhongwu, not to mention that Duke Wu has not yet entered the title of prince, even if Duke Wu has become the king of the Ming Dynasty, he is firmly pressed, and even Duke Wu Guo does not dare to be disrespectful in front of him, and he is so ignorant.
This time, since the eldest prince of the Wuguo Mansion took the initiative to turn his face over, of course Li Yuntian would not be unkind, he wanted to teach the eldest prince of the Wuguo Mansion how to behave in the future!
However, Li Yuntian knew that this matter would definitely not be as simple as it seemed on the surface, although the noble children in the capital usually acted a little arrogantly, but no one was stupid, knowing the strict hierarchy of officialdom, it was clear who could bully and who could not provoke.
Therefore, there is a chance that the eldest prince of the Wuguo Mansion has been calculated this time, otherwise he would never have done such a stupid thing in the Sifang Guild Hall.
When Li Yuntian rode a horse and led a group of guards to arrive at the Sifang Guild Hall, the people of the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were maintaining order in front of a small courtyard in the backyard of the Sifang Guild Hall.
After all, since the establishment of the Quartet Hall, there has never been such a big mess, and people have made such a big move inside.
"King Chungwu!"
"King Chungmu is here!"
"He's the King of Chungwu?"
"There's a good show to watch now."
"Do you say that the Zhongwu Mansion is powerful or the Wuguo Mansion is powerful?"
"You are stupid, you still need to ask, of course it is the Zhongwu Palace!"
……
When Li Yuntian was surrounded by the guards and walked through the crowd gathered in front of the courtyard gate into the courtyard, the people who watched the excitement suddenly boiled, chatting with each other, and waiting with great interest for a good show to be staged in the courtyard.
