Unparalleled Concubine

  Chapter 595 Questions and Messages

   Usually, this kind of **** who is in charge of the inner court will not leave the palace easily, let alone the capital, just like the **** Chen Ju, in the entire Chengde Dynasty, Chen Ju almost never left the capital.

   After all, the Eight Inspectors of the Inner Court have to bear them on their shoulders.

Although the current Eighth Prisoners of the Inner Court are still somewhat unconvinced by this young man, Xiao Zheng, but he is the only young Prisoner of the Inner Court, and he is considered a high authority in the palace. He will do it.

   In the eight prisons, there is another yamen dedicated to conveying holy will.

   But Xiao Zheng came.

   Li Xin and Ye Ming glanced at each other, feeling a little puzzled in their hearts.

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

   The second possibility is that the imperial court, or that His Majesty has important matters, must be conveyed by the **** Xiao Zheng himself.

   Ye Ming smiled and said to Xiao Zheng: "Eunuch Xiao is not waiting by His Majesty's side, why did you go to the southwest without taking the trouble?"

Xiao Zheng rubbed his waist, then bowed his head to Ye Ming, and said respectfully: "Return to the general, Your Majesty has a holy will, and you want the servants to come to the southwest to convey them. The servants are not noble people. Your Majesty wants the servants to come, the servants are naturally To come."

  Li Xin stood behind Ye Ming and did not speak.

   Ye Ming asked tentatively, "Does Your Majesty know about the Southwest?"

   Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty received news from the Southwest seven days ago, Longyan Dayue, not to mention the banquet in the Weiyang Palace, and exempted the Southwest from taxes for three years, saying that it is for the Southwest to recuperate."

This is actually a normal operation. After this incident in the Southwest, the situation was unstable. If the imperial court immediately levied taxes after taking over, there would be trouble again. Moreover, the Taikang Dynasty inherited the inheritance of the Chengde Dynasty, and the treasury was not poor. The three-year tax exemption for the Southwest has little effect.

   What's more, the most important areas of imperial taxation were not located in the southwest.

  Ye Ming, as the general manager of the Western Expedition, heard the words and bent slightly towards Xiao Zheng, smiled and said: "Your Majesty cares about the people of Li Min, and the ministers represent the people of Shu County. Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

  Xiao Zheng waved his hands again and again, shook his head and said, "These words, the general said to His Majesty after returning to Beijing, how can a slave and a servant dare to be honored by the general?"

   Ye Ming smiled and said nothing more.

Xiao Zheng glanced at Li Xin who was behind Ye Ming secretly, and then continued to Ye Ming: "General, Your Majesty sent a servant to ask the General, the following is the question of the servant on behalf of His Majesty, if you offend, General Haihan."

   Ye Ming and Li Xin had to kneel when they heard the words.

  The emperor asked a question, which means that the current Xiao Zheng is the emperor of Taikang, and both of them must give him some necessary respect.

  Xiao Zheng quickly waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty ordered, both of you have made great contributions to the court, just stand and listen."

   The two of them were just pretending, and after hearing this, they stood up and listened to the "hadith" with their hands down.

   Xiao Zheng coughed and his whole person became serious.

   "Ask General Ye on behalf of His Majesty, has the southwest side been completely pacified now?"

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

  Li Xin nodded slightly.

Ye Shaobao said solemnly: "The minister replied to His Majesty's words, the southwest has been pacified by the minister and the Marquis of Jing'an for more than a year, and now everything has been pacified. The Pingnan Army has more than 130,000 people. Ten thousand people were killed by the banned army and the rebel army. More than 10,000 people, and more than 15,000 prisoners."

The Pingnan Army was far more than 130,000 people, and at least 150,000 or 60,000. Ye Ming and Li Xin knew this, but they didn't kill so many people after all. After discussing with Li Xin, Ming decided to talk less.

   "The leader of the Pingnan Army, as well as His Royal Highness the King of Qin who has been inexplicably wandered here, have all been captured, and they will be escorted to Beijing in a few days, and will be handed over to His Majesty!"

   Here, Ye Ming speaks very skillfully, he did not directly say Li Shen, but the leader of the pirates of the Southern Army.

  Because Li Shen was actually "dead" in the capital.

   His funeral, Jing'an Hou Li Xin also attended.

   Ye Ming said this, paused and then continued: "At this time, the ministers are sorting out the specific casualties of this western expedition, as well as the number of enemies killed. After the ministers have completed the statistics, they will immediately send them to the capital."

On the battlefield, there are primary and secondary points. Ye Ming is the general manager of this western expedition. Therefore, all questions asked by Emperor Xiao Zheng should be answered by Ye Ming, the chief general. During this process, Jing'an Hou Li Xin stood with his hands on Ye Ming Behind him, he said nothing.

   Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and finally glanced at Ye Ming.

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

  Ye Shaobao said solemnly: "Go back to Your Majesty, there is nothing to do in the southwest!"

"Well."

  Xiao looked solemn, turned his head to look in the direction of Li Xin, and said solemnly: "Jing'an Hou Li Xin listened to the order."

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

Xiao Zheng said solemnly: "Li Xin, Marquis of Jing'an, the achievements of the West Expedition are so great, I feel very relieved, since the southwest has been settled, you don't have to stay here for a long time, I have been thinking about King Qin for several years in my heart, and my brotherly love is becoming more and more serious. Qing immediately escorted the eldest brother and the Pingnan Army...the first thief back to Beijing."

   Having said this, Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and smiled flatteringly at Li Xin: "Master Hou, Your Majesty said this."

  Li Xin frowned slightly, then smiled at this Eunuch Xiao, and said, "Your Majesty means, let me immediately take His Royal Highness King Qin and that... Pingnan Army bandit leader back to the capital?"

"exactly."

  Xiao Zheng accompanied the smiling face and lowered his head: "Your Majesty said, if there are no major issues on the southwest side, the aftermath will be handed over to General Ye to deal with it, and the Hou Ye will immediately leave for Beijing."

   This Eunuch Xiao accompanied him with a smile: "Master Hou has been away from Beijing for almost a year and a half. Your Majesty misses Master Hou very much."

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

General Ye stepped forward and frowned: "Eunuch Xiao, the Marquis of Jing'an has contributed the most in this battle, and many things here need his help, and even if His Majesty has no decree, in a month or two, the imperial court will assign After the official comes, I should wait for the class teacher to return, so why rush this moment?"

Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "General, this is a difficult slave, slave is a slave, how do you know about these important family affairs, slave is only sent to the southwest to ask questions and pass the order, if the general has any opinions, he will write a memorial and give it to him. Slaves, slaves will help you bring it back to the capital and give it to Your Majesty."

  Li Xin reached out and patted Ye Ming on the shoulder lightly, then bowed to Xiao Zheng.

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

  The Marquis of Jing An squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "Besides, Eunuch Xiao has also worked hard all the way. I just saw that Eunuch Xiao couldn't stand at the station. Why do you have to rest in Jincheng for a day before starting the road."

   Xiao Zheng handed over again and again.

   "Master Hou is busy. The servant girl is waiting here and will return to Beijing with Master Hou."

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