The group pet prince is a full-scale boss

Chapter 176 Doubt
Although the emperor ordered Song Yucheng to return to the capital immediately, how could they just let go of the current situation at the border?

Among other things, the formula of the gunpowder is in Bai Mengjin's hands, and Bai Mengjin has always prepared it by herself. If she leaves, she must find a reliable person to teach the formula, right?

Otherwise, wait until the gunpowder runs out, and then go to the capital to invite Bai Mengjin back?
So Bai Dalang and Bai Zongzheng wrote memorials respectively, reporting the details of the battle on the 24th to the court.

It focused on the improved god arm crossbow and trebuchet, plus the gunpowder canister.

These are the research results of Song Yucheng and Bai Mengjin, Bai Dalang couldn't help but praise a few more words to show the contribution of the two.

After the commendation, Bai Dalang proposed that he wanted to keep the two of them at the border for a few more days so that everything here could be settled properly.

What Bai Zongzheng wrote was similar, he only said that there are a lot of things going on in the workshop right now, and Song Yucheng and Bai Mengjin cannot be separated for the time being. Please forgive me and allow them to go back later.

After the memorial was written, he ordered someone to ride a fast horse to send it to the capital immediately. A few days later, the emperor received the memorial.

At a glance, he learned that the Jurchen army of 15 had failed miserably in attacking Xiangfan, but the emperor was overjoyed, so he hurriedly passed the memorial to the courtiers in the Hall of Qinzheng.

After reading it, everyone was also very surprised, especially what was written in the memorial. This time, nearly ten thousand enemies were killed, countless serious injuries were suffered, and thousands of horses were lost, while the Zhongshun Army hardly suffered any casualties. The results of this battle are really brilliant.

"Officials, is what is said in this memorial really true? Could it be that General Bai lied about it? Since the establishment of the state of Zhao, there have been very few such easy victories. I have doubts about this."

After reading the memorial, some officials immediately said that they did not believe it was true.

"Officials, I think Master Liu is right. The Jurchen soldier has been hunting on horseback since he was a child. He is very brave.

People once said that Jurchens are less than 15, and they are invincible when they are full. [-] Jurchen troops attacked the city, and they were beaten so badly?
Although the Zhongshun Army has always been famous for its bravery, it is impossible for them to have such strength, and I don't believe it. "When one person took the lead, others agreed, and several people stood up and expressed doubts.

"Officials, this matter must be verified clearly. Bragging about the results of the battle must never happen. Once it becomes a habit, it may become a serious disaster."

In the end, Shi Mingyuan also stood up, also expressed doubts, and said that it should be strictly investigated.

In the Great Zhao Dynasty, it has always been the national policy to strictly prevent military men from rebelling, and suppressing military generals is political correctness.Whoever speaks for warriors is the public enemy of all civil officials.

When Bai Zongzheng was in the court before, he could still compete with these civil servants, but now Bai Zongzheng personally went to the border to supervise the battle, and there was one less prime minister in the court who was facing the warrior.

These officials are the same as before, they don't care how dangerous the border is, as long as they see a military general in his early days, they will jump up and bite like a mad dog.

But today's court is different from the past, because the person sitting in the high position now relies more and more on trusting the Bai family, how can he question it at this juncture?

"Have you guys finished reading the memorial? One by one, they only read the first half, and then blatant nonsense in front of me?

The memorial has already been written later. This time, it was Duke Jingguo and Princess Huai'an who improved the crossbow and trebuchet, developed powerful gunpowder, and made gunpowder cans.

With these magical weapons, it is natural to be able to defeat the enemy. "The emperor couldn't help but scolded.

"Duke Yasukuni inspected the border, arrested the Jurchen spies in Chuzhou, and also found officials who colluded with the Jurchen, colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and made great achievements.

This time in Xiangyang, together with the Princess Huai'an, he developed a magical weapon and defeated the enemy, which is even more creditable.

It is really a blessing that the imperial family has such outstanding young people. This time Duke Yasukuni returns to Beijing, I must reward him generously. "

The emperor reprimanded the officials, and then praised Song Yucheng in turn. The expression and tone of his speech were quite like the appearance of an old father who was very pleased.

Half of those officials really only looked at the front half, and then started to find trouble. When they heard the emperor's words at this moment, these people were dumbfounded.

Why did Lord Yasukuni make meritorious service again?What did the officials say just now?What god-armed crossbows and trebuchets did Lord Jingguo and Princess Huai'an improve?What gunpowder did you come up with?This, this is impossible, right?
"Your Majesty, I have had that god arm crossbow before, and it is indeed more powerful than ordinary crossbows, but it's not that powerful, is it?
What gunpowder is there, what's the use of that?At most, it is just to make some thick smoke, how can it become a magic weapon to defeat the enemy?The minister couldn't believe it. "

There is such a kind of people who are dedicated to singing against others. They don't care what is right or wrong at all, they just oppose for the sake of opposing.

And there is such an institution in the imperial court, and a bunch of people in it just find faults and provoke troubles, impeaching others at every turn.

These people are called Yushi Jianguan, and they work as errands in Yushitai and Zhijianyuan. They are a group of very rare existences.

Looking at the group of clowns jumping up and down in front of him, the emperor couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and jumped up and down.

How Dazhao was destroyed was that it was destroyed by the hands of these people, each of them was eating the salary given by the court, but not doing anything serious, knowing that he bit people like a mad dog, it was really hateful.

But there is no way to hate it, the rules set by the ancestors are like this.

This is what Yushitai and Zhijianyuan did. No matter how dissatisfied the emperor was, he did not dare to violate the ancestral system. When Yushitai and Zhijianyuan were abolished, he could only listen to the opposition and doubts of these people.

"Is Tao Yushi's words too much? Everyone knows what kind of person Jingguo is. He is stable, intelligent and talented. The Huai'an princess is even more intelligent and witty. Why can't they develop some power? Extraordinary weapon?

A group of people oppose for the sake of opposing, without asking right or wrong, without asking the reasons for their merits and demerits, just talking nonsense here, it is really embarrassing. "

Just when the emperor was so annoyed that he almost opened his mouth to reprimand those people again, the commanders in front of the palace stood up and spoke for Song Yucheng.

The commander in front of this hall is surnamed Li, who is from the emperor's mother clan, so he should be the emperor's cousin.

This person has high martial arts skills, is loyal to the emperor, and is also someone the emperor relies on and trusts.

After all, this position is very special, responsible for the safety of the entire Erhuang City, not a confidant, it is absolutely impossible to arrange such an important errand.

So when the emperor saw that Commander Li had spoken, his mood improved a lot, and he nodded again and again.

"What Li Aiai said is true. I can trust Master Bai, the Zhongshun Army, Duke Jing and Princess Huai'an. Don't talk nonsense about this matter, otherwise I will never forgive you lightly."

"Officials, this matter should not be too careless, I think that we should send people to the border to check and verify.

If it is true as stated in the memorial, it will not be too late to reward meritorious deeds. If someone deliberately brags, they should be questioned together. "

Shi Mingyuan still refused to let go of the opportunity, even if he couldn't pull the Bai family down this time, they would have to lose their hearts.
