In order to stabilize the political situation in the Ming Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Zhang issued an edict to suppress the news of the defeat of the Western Expeditionary Army in the Western Regions, and according to Li Yuntian's proposal, 200,000 young and strong children were recruited from the military households of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, the Shanbei Military Region, and the Liaodong Military Region to enlist in the army on the grounds of entering Beijing for training.

In this way, it is necessary to avoid causing panic in the society, otherwise once the imperial court recruits troops with great fanfare, it will inevitably cause panic among the people.

From Li Yuntian's point of view, he naturally couldn't wait to rush to Qinglong City in Kansai and deal with the situation in the Western Regions as soon as possible.

But Li Yuntian is now the dignified King of Zhongwu in Daming, and his words and deeds have attracted the attention of the outside world, so naturally he can't disappear in the capital for no reason.

Therefore, two days later, Li Yuntian appealed to the orthodox emperor on the pretext of inspecting the resettlement of soldiers and civilians on Xiaoliuqiu Island and Qiongzhou Island, and prepared to go south to Xiaoliuqiu Island and Qiongzhou Island.

The orthodox emperor naturally approved Li Yuntian's request and canonized Li Yuntian as the "imperial envoy", inspecting the place on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

What is particularly important is that in the edict of the orthodox emperor appointing Li Yuntian as the "imperial envoy", it is not clear that the region where Li Yuntian exercises his powers, in other words, Li Yuntian can exercise the functions and powers of the "imperial envoy" within the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yuntian did not know in advance that the orthodox emperor wanted to crown himself as an "imperial envoy", it seems that this is the meaning of the empress dowager of the Zhang family, although Li Yuntian is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no administrative power in the local area, giving Li Yuntian the post of "imperial envoy" can make Li Yuntian justifiably lead the southwestern provinces to resist the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition army.

In order to stabilize the situation in the capital and the imperial court, as in previous months, a military report was read out at the court meeting on the "great victory" of the western expeditionary army, saying that Song Hai had led his army westward and was preparing to attack the Hezhong region of the Timurid Empire.

This made Li Yuntian, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others feel quite ironic but helpless, after all, it is the consensus of the imperial court that the Western Expeditionary Army is smooth sailing in the Western Regions, and the good news of the Western Expeditionary Army cannot be stopped suddenly.

What outsiders didn't expect was that these fabricated good news came from the hands of the young staff and military attachés of the Wutang, and Li Yuntian assigned them homework to deduce the process of Song Hai's smooth attack on the Timurid Empire, so these young staff officers and military attachés combined the factors such as the strength of the Western Expeditionary Army and the Timurid Empire and local forces, and deduced a set of perfect plans for Song Hai's attack on the Timurid Empire.

Li Yuntian was very satisfied with this set of deduction plans, and to be honest, if Song Hai followed this plan to march, it would cause great trouble to the Timurid Empire, at least he would not visit the shrine.

Although the territory of the Timurid Empire is vast, it is different from the Ming Dynasty in that there are many large and small countries within it, some of which were originally dependent on the Timurid Empire, and some of which were conquered by the Timurid Empire.

It's a pity that Song Hai didn't know anything about the Timurid Empire before, and he didn't pay attention to the information of the Timurid Empire that Li Yuntian sent to him with great difficulty.

Due to the long distance of this trip to the Western Regions and the complicated battle situation, Li Yuntian is expected to return to Beijing in at least two years, so there are many things to arrange in advance, and in addition, he must keep warm up with his wives, God knows when the next time they meet.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the lecture hall, Li Yuntian deliberately left Lei Ting behind, and having Lei Ting to deal with the daily affairs of the lecture hall not only reassured him, but also convinced the public, after all, Lei Ting followed Li Yuntian to fight in the south and the north for more than ten years, and accumulated great prestige in the Xiaowu army.

This is also the first time that Lei Ting and Li Yuntian have been separated in the battle, although Lei Ting is very reluctant in her heart, but she knows that Li Yuntian is for her good, this trip to the Western Regions can be described as full of dangers, Li Yuntian does not want her to be in danger, and in addition, the martial arts hall also needs someone to preside over the overall situation, so that Li Yuntian can fight in the Western Regions with peace of mind.

After all, the situation in the Western Regions is complicated and the road is rugged, unlike the inland areas of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to send the official documents of the lecture hall to the Western Regions, if something goes wrong along the way, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the secrets of the lecture hall will be leaked, so this time Lei Ting must replace Li Yuntian in charge of the lecture hall and deal with the official documents from all over the country that gather in the lecture hall.

Moreover, except for Lei Ting, who gets along with Li Yuntian day and night and has assisted Li Yuntian in handling the affairs of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall since the establishment of the Lecture Martial Hall, others really can't control the Lecture Martial Hall, and Lei Ting's way of dealing with problems is closest to Li Yuntian.

In late June, Taiyuan City.

A dozen fast horses galloped from the main road in the distance, causing the passers-by to dodge in panic to both sides, and then glared angrily at the knights on horseback who were dressed in the uniforms of the guards.

After arriving at the city gate, the leading knight was wearing a hundred official uniforms, and the reins of the horse stopped, and the knights behind him immediately stopped with a brush, and the movements were neat and uniform, not dragging mud and water at all, and the soldiers who were lazily on duty at the city gate were stunned, although this group of cavalry was small, but the momentum exuded was very strong.

"This lord, I don't know what to call it? What is the reason for coming to Taiyuan City? The city gate official was hiding in a shady place drinking tea, and seeing that these knights were extraordinary, and they were all carrying knives, bows and crossbows and other weapons, he hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and greeted him, and asked the leading Baihu among the knights with a smile on his face.

"I'm waiting for the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, and I'm going to Shaanxi Metropolitan Government on business." The leading hundred households said to the city gate official quietly, and at the same time waved his hand, and a knight who followed him turned over and dismounted and handed the official document and waist card of the official document of the trip to the city gate official.

The official inspection of the city gate looked at it, and sure enough, it was an official document issued by the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, and the waist plate was also issued by the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, so he registered the identities of these knights according to the process and released them, preparing to send someone to send them to the post house.

However, the knights offered to stay in the inn, after all, the environment of the inn was relatively poor, and it was really uncomfortable to have to squeeze on a large bunk on a hot day.

The city gate officials have long been accustomed to this, like this kind of people who come out of the capital on business usually live in inns, and no one wants to crowd in the inn, especially in the summer when the room is filled with all kinds of bad smells.

Therefore, the gatekeeper kindly recommended to the knights a good inn in the city, and asked a soldier to take him there.

Of course, the city gate official will not be so kind for no reason, he is naturally profitable to do this, these knights know at a glance that the origin is not small, food, clothing and accommodation must be quite particular about spending a lot of money in the inn, he introduced people to the inn will give him a commission, this is a windfall.

After arriving at the inn introduced by the city gate officer, the hundred households leading among the knights were quite satisfied with the accommodation environment, asked for a few spacious and clean rooms to settle his subordinates, and instructed the men in the store to feed the horses with good forage.

"I want to see Liu Baihu, I have something important to say!" As soon as the knights had settled down in the inn, a strong man of five big and three thick flew upstairs and came to the corridor of the guest room on the second floor where they were staying, and shouted anxiously when he was stopped by two knights guarding the corridor.

"Let him in!" Baihu, who was checking the map of the Western Regions in the room, heard the strong man's shout, so he ordered a knight on the side in a deep voice.

The knight then went out of the room and brought the strong man in, and several knights quietly sandwiched him in the middle, firmly controlling the strong man.

"Lord Wang, save my county lord, she is now arrested in the prison of Taiyuan Mansion." After seeing Baihu, the strong man knelt on one knee, put his right hand on his chest and said anxiously.

"You're Uzsan?" Baihu was taken aback when he saw the strong man, "What's wrong with the county lord?" ”

"The county lord knew that the prince was going to the Western Regions, so he took a few of us to wait for the prince in Taiyuan City in advance, and wanted to go to the Western Regions with the prince to fight." Hearing this, the strong man said hurriedly, "The county lord wanted to give the prince a surprise, who knew that he was entangled by a son-in-law in the city yesterday, and the county lord taught him a lesson when he was angry, but he was arrested and put in the prison of Taiyuan Mansion this morning, and the county lord was worried that it would ruin your business, so he didn't let us reveal his identity." ”

"How can it be!" Hearing this, Baihu's face suddenly turned cold, and he stretched out his hand and slapped it heavily on the table, and ordered a knight on the side with a cold expression, "Go to Shanxi to patrol the imperial history and tell him that if the county lord has the slightest damage, then this king will turn Taiyuan City upside down and put it upside down!" ”

This hundred households is naturally Li Yuntian, the loyal and martial king of the Ming Dynasty, in order to rush to Guanxi as soon as possible, he deliberately drove lightly, and only led more than ten horsemen to set off on the road, and the county lord in Wusang's mouth was Nuo Min.

The knight didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly left after bowing to Li Yuntian.

Although Li Yuntian is only the left deputy of the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, and there are still the imperial histories of the left and right capitals, but in terms of prestige, he is the highest in the Imperial Procuratorate, and the supervising imperial historians are all in awe of him, not to mention the two major cases of the Huai Salt Road alone, which makes those supervising imperial histories worship Li Yuntian.

On the surface, it seems that Li Yuntian punished the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Yandao, but in fact he did much more than that, how to plan the future development of Yandao, and how to balance the interests of the various forces behind this case, are extremely admirable.

Generally speaking, Li Yuntian is kind and mild-mannered, and the people in the Imperial Court have never seen him angry, but now the Shanxi Inspector Yushi was shocked when he heard Li Yuntian's murderous words.

Coincidentally, Shanxi Patrol Yushi happened to have just returned to Taiyuan City from his inspection in other places, and hurriedly led people to the Taiyuan Mansion Prison to rescue Nuo Min who was locked inside.

Nuo Min did not suffer any grievances in the prison, although she was arrested but the cell boss saw that her appearance was extraordinary, and she spoke with a Beijing accent, plus Nuo Min's entourage secretly made a lot of silver, so the cell boss did not dare to move Nuo Min let her live in a clean single room, God knows where this woman dressed as a man came from, and ordinary women would never do this.

He didn't know why the governor suddenly went to the prison, and he didn't know why the Shanxi governor would release a woman in the prison, but afterwards all the officials involved in the case of Nuo Min were severely punished, and it was obvious that Nuo Min was wantonly arrested into the prison by them, and his behavior had violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the usual violations of law and discipline, it was enough for them to lose their official positions and resign.

The son-in-law was even more unlucky, and was found to have bullied men and women and did evil things by the Shanxi Patrol Imperial History, and was exiled to the frontier after the trial, and his family fortune was increasingly degraded because of this incident, which made him chagrin and realize that he had provoked someone who should not be provoked.
