C249 He Sent a Quick Newspaper to Appease the Officials at the Border

In the blink of an eye, the day passed just like that. The next morning, Loong Tian embarked on the path of looking for someone, while Qing Yun went to the morning court in accordance with the imperial edict.

In the Imperial Court.

"The front lines report that there is insufficient grain. They still needed to transport grain. Everyone, my close, Although the hundreds of thousands of Great Ming soldiers are stationed at the border, we did not allow the enemy to invade our territory. However, the enemy is too cunning, and they used the advantage of the terrain to bring us a lot of trouble. A few months have passed, and both sides are in a stalemate. Our army also consumed a lot of resources, and in terms of grain, it was a huge number. If this continues, it will not be a solution. Do all of you my close have a plan to defeat the enemy? " The Emperor said with a worried expression.

When the ministers heard this, they also began to discuss but they really could not think of a way. The enemy was the alliance of the seven countries and they were from all over the country. If they wanted to retreat, they had to go straight to the root of the problem. But if they wanted to achieve that effect, they needed to gather at least a lot of soldiers, so there would definitely be an empty place to defend. At that time, if the enemy retaliated, the consequences would be unimaginable. The other soldiers were stationed in various places. It was truly a difficult problem to not easily dispatch them.

"Reporting to the Emperor, why not let this official lead the Cloud Guardian to provide assistance. If we catch them off guard, it might have some effect. " Qing Yun went forward and cupped his hands as he spoke.

"That's right, that's right. His Royal Highness still has my Ming Dynasty's elite troops in his hands. Who knows, he might have a way to retreat. " Some of the officials echoed.

"I don't think so, although the Cloud Guardian was carefully selected by His Royal Highness. After all, they don't have the advantage in numbers. Our army of hundreds of thousands is helpless. Just a few dozens of men from His Royal Highness does not seem to be able to change anything. May the Emperor think about it. " At this moment, some of the officials were not optimistic about Qingyun and Cloud Guardian, so they called out to stop them.

Just like that, the people below were divided into two factions. One faction supported Qingyun and the other opposed Qingyun and once again, they began to discuss.

"Enough. This is the main hall, not a vegetable market. How can you all be so noisy?" The Emperor listened to the discussions below and was annoyed for a moment before he spoke to stop them. The Emperor's voice immediately made the people below quieten down.

"Pingyun Prince, tell me your thoughts. " When the Emperor saw that the people below had quietened down, he turned his head to look at Qingyun.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the ministers are right. With my mere Cloud Guardian of a few dozen, it is indeed incomparable to the army of hundreds of thousands. These dozens of people are like grains of sand in the desert on the battlefield. They are simply insignificant. However, there is a saying in the art of war. The best strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting. As long as we can capture the enemy first, we will capture the king. If we capture the commander, we can resolve the deadlock. Only the Cloud Guardian can do this task. " When Qing Yun said this, his face was full of confidence.

If it was anyone else, they would probably laugh at Qing Yun's words. Many people would also think that it was just a pipe dream. But no one would think that way from Qing Yun's mouth. After all, they knew about the things that Qing Yun had done. He had forced back the Celestial Wolf Kingdom with his own strength and charged into the imperial palace of Mountain Sea Kingdom at night. He had captured the Mountain Sea King alive and pacified the rebellion of Mountain Sea Kingdom. Each and every one of these things was shocking. Now that he had said such words, no one thought that it was impossible anymore.

"Mm, that's good. Then it's decided. Three days later, Pingyun Prince, you will personally lead Cloud Guardian to meet General Qu. In addition, I will dispatch another hundred thousand soldiers and grain. You will be in charge of all of them. I hope that the rebellion can be pacified as soon as possible. "

"This official will follow your orders. " After saying that, Mu Qingyun knelt down on one knee.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can withdraw from the court. Pingyun Prince, follow me to my study room. I have something to tell you. " The Emperor stood up and walked towards the study room while Qing Yun followed.

Arriving at the study room, the Emperor sits down and lets Qing Yun sit down as well and lets the palace maids serve tea.

"I wonder what orders the Emperor has for this official to come here?"

"No, I just want to talk to you, Qingyun. "

"Talk?"

The old man asked. "Yeah, I haven't had a good chat with you since you came back. You must be very angry that I beheaded Tianyu, right?"

"This official doesn't dare. The Emperor has his reasons for doing so. This official doesn't dare to recklessly analyze the Emperor's intent. "

"Hehe, look. You are still angry with me after saying this. You have never come to report about the execution. Instead, you sent a few other ministers to report, and I already know that you're mad at me. Qing Yun, ah! You have never governed a country, so it is only natural that you are angry. Not only you, I think there are also many people who are angry at my actions. But I also have my difficulties. I hope you can understand, Qingyun. Actually, I don't want to kill him either. It's just that the situation forced me. Moreover, even though our army has preserved our territory, we haven't won a triumphant victory. The morale of our army is really low. Under such circumstances, I have no choice but to make such a decision. If I don't behead him and give those soldiers who died in vain an explanation, then our morale will definitely be low. This is a disadvantageous situation. " After the Emperor finished speaking, he sighed and spoke with a look of regret.

"Emperor, you are worrying too much. This official did not have that intention. The weather is hot now and the corpse cannot be stored. This official only wanted to bury Tianyu as soon as possible so I neglected to report to the Emperor. I hope that the Emperor can forgive me. " As he spoke, Qingyun stood up and knelt down on one knee.

"Get up. I have no intention of blaming you. What you did was right. Where did you bury Tianyu at? When I have time, I would like to pay my respects. After all, he grew up with me, and he has also contributed a lot to Da Ming. "

"If Tianyu could hear the Emperor's words, he would definitely feel very gratified. Tianyu is buried on the Songfeng Mountain outside the city. If the Emperor wishes to pay his respects, just inform the people in the Chenzhou Prefecture to bring the Emperor there. "

"En, that's fine. At that time, if I want to go, I will go and find the people in your Imperial Residence to bring me there. This expedition will have to trouble you, Qingyun. I hope that you can return victorious as soon as possible. At that time, I will definitely welcome you. "

"Emperor, please rest assured about this. This is something that a subject should do. I will definitely not let down the Emperor's high expectations. "

"En, I hope so. If there is nothing else, then go back and prepare. "

"Then this official will retire. " As he spoke, Qing Yun turned around and walked out.

Watching Qing Yun leave the Emperor's heart seemed to relax. What he feared the most was that Qing Yun would waver because of the matter of Tianyu's execution. This was also the reason why he said those words just now. And looking at Qing Yun's expression and words just now, It did not seem to be as serious as he thought but at this moment, the Emperor seemed to be somewhat wary of Qing Yun.

Princess Jinyu had been waiting for him outside the study after learning that Qingyun had entered the Palace. When she saw him come out, she shouted at him. This shout contained some anger, "Pingyun Prince. "
