Chapter 411 The Newspaper That Caused Trouble

Star City.

Emperor Changxing slowly stroked his gray beard, but his eyes frequently looked towards the door of the imperial study.

cough.

He coughed, "Chang Lu, what is Du Ziming up to now?"

Chang Lu's heart was bright, and he replied with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Jin Linwei has been tracking down the backstage of the newspaper according to your instructions. Today is the day when the newspaper is released. Presumably Commander Du is watching carefully outside the palace."

Emperor Changxing nodded and stopped talking, and focused on the notebook in his hand again.

Soon, he frowned.

The endless dragon case is full of excerpts from various places.

Because of the need to establish a reserve, Xingji City has recently returned a bunch of princes from all over the world, whether they recognize it or not, they are all waiting for him to summon.

Coupled with the raging Qiuhu, Emperor Changxing was very annoyed.

At the middle or end of the month, he somehow remembered the newspaper that recorded news or anecdotes from various places.

There is no need to question the accuracy of the above news or stories.At least the dignified king of Qi has not been found yet.

And apart from the headlines on the front page, the other stories are not full of serious words like the excerpts on the dragon case. Most of them are in vernacular, which can be understood even by illiterate ordinary people.

However, these stories are told vividly and interestingly, which makes people feel happy or eye-opening after reading them.

For Emperor Changxing, who was unable to leave the palace, it was considered a sneak in time, and the air conditioner was used to adjust the boring life in the forbidden palace.

Chang Lu hurriedly summoned the little eunuch, "Go and urge Mr. Du to bring today's newspaper to the palace as soon as possible."

After getting the news, Du Ziming had no choice but to put down the clues he had investigated, and entered Miyagi nervously with a newspaper he just got.

He shook his head as he walked.

This newspaper is really powerful. Today's headlines probably made Emperor Changxing's blood well up after reading it.

There are two big characters on it: good news.

The 40 troops fought in Dingxi, and Xiliang was defeated and retreated to the grassland.

Subtitle: The Wild Goose Legion has [-] troops, but refuses to send troops.Although Yun Chui won, he was defeated, and suffered heavy casualties.

The newspaper was sent to Emperor Changxing, but it took a long time for him to put down the booklet in his hand and lean on the dragon chair with his eyes closed.

Chang Lu was very interesting, so he quickly picked it up and read it softly.

Just after reading the title, both of them were at a loss.

"Is this headline real or not?" Emperor Changxing couldn't help but open his eyes, "Has there been a report from Huo Ling?"

"Your Majesty," Chang Lu pointed to the newspaper, "It says that the war started on the [-]th day, and it is estimated that the battle has not ended in these two days. General Huo's report may already be on the way, but the journey is far away, and it has not been delivered yet. To Star City."

Emperor Changxing nodded, and took the newspaper from Changlu's hand.

He carefully read the above report word by word, mixed with joy and sorrow for a while.

As an emperor, no matter what the reason is, it is not a pleasant thing for the territory to shrink directly during the ruling period.

The history books of later generations will definitely criticize this, and even call him useless.

Emperor Changxing paid attention to his posthumous reputation, but he was also mentally prepared for it.

Now that Yun Chui has won a big victory and Dingxi County is safe, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

But when he thought of Yanfeng Fortress and Zhen Guogong Mansion, he couldn't help frowning.

At this time,

"Your Majesty," the little eunuch trotted in, "The six ministers outside the imperial study and the Grand Master are asking to see you."

Although Jin Linwei has been sending people to watch, almost everyone has a copy of the newspaper now, and it is unstoppable.

Emperor Changxing had just read the above report, and all the wealthy families in Xingji City also heard the above news, and they all came into the palace to discuss countermeasures without bothering to hide it.

"Let them come in." Emperor Changxing rubbed his forehead and sat up straight again.

The monarchs and ministers have seen the ceremony.

Seeing that Du Ziming was also among them, the hearts of the few suddenly became clear.

"Your Majesty." Guan Yi, Minister of War, was the first to stand up.

"Your majesty's face is full of red today, and the sky is full of auspicious clouds outside. I think there must be some great event happening in the empire?"

Several other ministers also hurriedly came out, complimenting and congratulating each other.

cough.

Emperor Changxing was very angry.

"Several lovers suddenly entered the palace, is it because of the headlines in the newspaper?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Changxing rubbed his forehead, "I'm afraid it's too early to congratulate you dear ones. The report from the fortress hasn't come back yet, so it's not certain whether the news in the newspaper is true or not."

Qian Liang, Minister of the Household Department, took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether the news in the newspaper is true or not. As we all know, the fortress and Dingxi County are short of food and medicine."

Speaking of this, he intentionally or unintentionally read the newspaper on Yanlong's case.

After such a publicity in the newspaper, it is estimated that most of the people in Yunchui know the situation in Dingxi County, and they can't hide it if they want to.

The will of the people cannot be violated.

Emperor Changxing nodded thoughtfully, and heard Qian Liang's voice again.

"Your Majesty is the son of heaven, so you are blessed with prosperity. Since the civil unrest in the three western counties was quelled, the empire has come a long way. In the past two years, most of the counties in the territory have enjoyed good weather and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It’s a good harvest.”

"The old minister is honored to be in charge of the treasury for His Majesty. I can vividly remember how the treasury was empty and stretched in the past. Now there is a surplus in the treasury, which is enough to support the needs of all border gates except for daily use."

"The old minister suggested to send supplies to the west border immediately, so as to secure the hearts of the soldiers at the border."

"Your Majesty." Before Qian Liang's voice fell, the white-haired Minister of Rites, Fan Wen, had already bowed to salute, "The words of Qian Shangshu are justified."

"The saints have said that the country cannot be defended without defense, and the people are insecure without soldiers. Although Yunchui is big, every inch of land is hard-won, and the bitter cold in Dingxi was caused by the founding emperor. Now Dingxi has been poisoned by Xiliang for a long time , the people in the county are waiting for His Majesty's grace."

"The old minister asks His Majesty to support Dingxi County as soon as possible."

The ministers and Grand Master Ren Yi also stood up and explained the truth.

Everyone, including Shang Luoken from the Ministry of Industry, supported Dingxi County.It's just that Luo Ken reminded Emperor Changxing not to forget Baekje in the east.

After all, his precious grandson, Chen Xiuzhu, is still in Baekje, and his life and death are still unknown.

Emperor Changxing frowned tightly, and it took a long while before he spoke.

"I already understand the meaning of the gentlemen. How about it, Qian Liang will go back and prepare food and medicinal materials. I will make a decision after I find out the situation in the west."

Everyone was not surprised, but they still couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty..."

"I have made up my mind. All my lovers, please leave first."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but they could only leave first.

The news in the newspaper spread quickly. Unlike the six ministers and the Grand Master's Office, the common people were more concerned about the subheading.

"The Yanhui Legion has [-] troops, but they refuse to send troops? As a result, our Yunchui troops are insufficient. Although all sides are victorious, they are still defeated, and the casualties are heavy?"

"Dingxibei's garrison is miserable, 2 people were directly defeated."

"The newspapers also said that Master Xia and the Yanhui Legion were stationed on the Yangguan Ancient Road. When Master Xia sent troops, he passed by the camp of the Yanhui Legion, but Tian Hongyan turned a blind eye."

"Damn it! Don't save yourself, refuse to send troops. Is the Yanhui Legion still human?"

"Your Majesty should get rid of the bastards who only use the army and don't fight."

"Yes, not withdrawing is not enough to cause public outrage."

"Get out of the way, just kill the matter directly. Tangtang Yunchui doesn't need such a general who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

"It's really incomprehensible. Yanhui is located in the northern border. If the other legions are as desperate as they are, once Beixiong invades, I can see where they will cry..."

"Are there any Yanhui people here? I really want to ask if they have the habit of refusing to save them."

Yiyangfang, Dongshi.

The huge East Market is the busiest place in the entire Xingji City. Caravans from the southeast and the northwest gather here to communicate with each other.

A caravan from Yanhui hurriedly pulled down the merchant flags and quickly put them away.

The head of the business hurriedly whispered, "Have you read today's newspaper? The word "Yan Hui" is almost like a street rat. Everyone must not reveal our identities. lest..."

So as not to be thrown rotten eggs by the people filled with righteous indignation.

Ugh.

Tian Hongyan is a bastard!
The caravan members cursed inwardly.

Everyone shrunk their necks, listening to the discussions in all directions, their faces became hot one after another.
