Chapter 122: Emperor Taizu of Xia Crawled Out From the Imperial Mausoleum? ?

Chapter 122 Xia Taizu crawled out of the imperial mausoleum? ? ?

For the ministers in the court, how fake was the battle report of the Hong Ling messenger?

It was so fake that they dared not question it!

This was the first time in the history of Daxia that someone dared to report such a fake battle report.

If the battle report brought by the Hong Ling messenger said that tens of thousands of enemies were killed and the barbarians were defeated, the ministers of the right prime minister Zhao Wenhan's faction in the court would probably have begun to impeach Lin Xiuming, saying that he lied about his military achievements.

But to say that the King of the North killed 200,000 barbarians...

Do they need to impeach this fake battle report?

They didn't even dare to speak.

This is not 20,000, but 200,000!

And just now the Hong Ling messenger said that Beijun captured 100,000 barbarian soldiers.

What does this mean? This shows to a certain extent that Beijun has completely wiped out the 300,000 barbarian troops heading south!

If the King of the North really did this, his contribution would be on par with that of the Emperor of Xia, and it could even be said that his contribution was greater than that of the Emperor of Xia.

But is it possible?

How many people in the capital don't know what kind of person the King of the North is?

How could the weak, incompetent, greedy and lustful King of the North lead the army of the Northern County to destroy the 300,000 barbarian troops?

It's funny!

Why didn't the war report say that Xia Taizu crawled out of the imperial mausoleum and killed 200,000 barbarian troops?

If you say that Xia Taizu crawled out of the imperial mausoleum, I'm afraid some people would think that the war report is true.

At this time, there was no sound in the entire court, and even people's breathing could be heard. After an unknown amount of time, the eunuch in the court came back to his senses. He stumbled to the front of the Hongling messenger, and then took the war report from the Hongling messenger, and then walked to the front of the Emperor of Xia and handed the war report to him.

At this time, the Emperor of Xia had a dark face and a very ugly expression.

This was the most fake war report he had ever heard.

He really couldn't believe how Lin Xiuming dared to send such a false war report back to the capital.

Although Lin Xiuming's father was the prime minister of the court, no one could protect him for making up such a false war report, not even Lin Gaoyuan.

Not only could Lin Gaoyuan not protect Lin Xiuming, but Lin Gaoyuan's family would be implicated by Lin Xiuming.

After seeing the war report handed over by the eunuch, Emperor Xia came to his senses. He immediately picked up the war report and opened it to read it.

Even if this war report was false, he had to take a serious look at it. He wanted to see what Lin Xiuming was doing.

When Emperor Xia opened the war report and read it carefully, all the ministers focused their eyes on Emperor Xia's face. They really wanted to see how Emperor Xia reacted.

At this time, some people in the court began to gloat over the misfortune. They were originally trying to find a way to bring down Lin Gaoyuan, but they didn't expect that Lin Gaoyuan's son would make a mistake so quickly.

And it was the mistake of falsely reporting military intelligence!

The most important thing is that this is a military intelligence that cannot be false anymore!

Even if the Lin family is not confiscated and exterminated this time, they will be exiled, right?

Using the red silk messenger to report such a bad false military intelligence, Emperor Xia would never let Lin Xiuming go.

At the same time.

Lin Gaoyuan in the hall was already sweating coldly. He never dreamed that his son would make such a big mistake.

It’s okay to lie about military intelligence, but how could anyone believe such an exaggerated war report? Is this treating everyone as fools?

Lin Gaoyuan couldn’t help but think that his son should not be such a person. What’s the matter with this war report? Could it be that this war report has been tampered with? Someone wants to harm their Lin family?

This doesn’t seem impossible.

Thinking of this, Lin Gaoyuan immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am not good at educating my son, and I am willing to accept the punishment!"

In front of the emperor, no matter whether you are right or wrong, kneel down and admit your mistakes. There is still a glimmer of hope if you admit your mistakes. If you are stubborn and welcome the Lin family, you will only end up like the Duke Mu’s Mansion.

At this time, Emperor Xia ignored Lin Gaoyuan. His eyes were still on the battle report in his hand. Emperor Xia read it over and over for a long time, and finally handed it to the eunuch, and then said to the eunuch: "Read it!"

The eunuch on the side took the battle report tremblingly, and then began to read it.

"When I led 70,000 troops to Yancheng on December 7, the war was over. The King of the North fought bravely and led tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northern County to kill 200,000 barbarians overnight and captured more than 100,000 barbarians. The barbarians were dead outside the Wanning River Valley, and the blood of the barbarians dyed the entire Wanning River red. According to my understanding, the barbarian Tianlang King was shot dead by the King of the North with an arrow when attacking Yancheng. Three days later, the King of the North will send someone to send the head of the Tianlang King to the capital."

Lin Xiuming's battle report was very simple, just describing the results of the battle in the Northern County.

When the eunuch finished reading the battle report, the ministers in the court were stunned for a moment.

They had heard from the messenger Hong Ling that the King of the North led the soldiers of the North County to kill 200,000 barbarians, and they thought that the "North County soldiers" here referred to the King of the North leading the imperial army and adding the soldiers of the North County, which added up to more than 100,000 people.

But according to Lin Xiuming's battle report, the imperial army had not yet arrived in Yancheng, but the King of the North led the few soldiers of the North County to defeat the 300,000 barbarian army? ? ?

In other words, the 70,000 troops of the imperial court did not even play a role? ? ?

They did not even play the role of assisting the battle? ? ?

What a joke!

The few soldiers of the North County could defeat the 300,000 barbarian army?

Did Xia Taizu really crawl out of the imperial mausoleum?

For a moment, all the ministers in the court were stunned.

If the useless Bei Wang had this ability, he would probably be the prince now, and would not appear in Beijun at all, but in the court, and even stand in front of all the officials.

For a useless prince, it was already very good to be able to defend Beijun, but now he actually said that he led the soldiers of Beijun to defeat the 300,000 barbarian army.

And from the battle report, it said that 200,000 barbarians were killed overnight, which is obviously a crushing victory!

The most ridiculous thing is that the battle report said that the Bei Wang shot the barbarian Tianlang King to death with one arrow! ! !

Although people don’t know much about the current Tianlang King, the officials also know that the Tianlang King is at least at the Grandmaster level.

The Bei Wang, a useless man who is weak and exhausted by alcohol and sex, can shoot a Grandmaster to death with one arrow?

This is not the way to brag! ! !

Although the officials were stunned by the war report, one person was relieved at this time. Lin Gaoyuan thought to himself that it was a good thing that Lin Xiuming did not take all the credit for himself, but directly pushed all the credit to the King of the North.

At that time, even if Lin Xiuming lied about the military intelligence, he would not be punished too severely, and they could also blame it all on the King of the North.

After all, when Lin Xiuming arrived in Beijun, he was to accept the command of the King of the North. When Lin Xiuming came back, he could say that his war report was forced by the King of the North.

Although the royal family might let Lin Xiuming take the blame in order to save the royal face, Lin Xiuming was a general after all, and he was also the son of the prime minister. Emperor Xia would also give him a lighter punishment for the stability of the court.

After the eunuch finished reading the war report, the whole court was still silent. The officials looked at each other, and no one dared to stand up and speak.

They didn't know what to say at this time.

Such a fake war report, no one believed it, and Emperor Xia couldn't believe it either.

Emperor Xia must be furious at this time. If they say anything at this time, it is likely to offend Emperor Xia, and they don't want to get into trouble at this time.

At this time, Emperor Xia stood on the dragon platform and looked at the ministers below indifferently.

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Emperor Xia said coldly: "Usually, you quarreled in the court, why are you all silent today?"

After Emperor Xia finished speaking, no minister stood up to speak, and several princes did not speak. Even the eighth prince Lu Shuyun, who was at odds with Lu Chen, kept his mouth shut.

They all lowered their heads and waited quietly.

They were waiting, and Emperor Xia was waiting too.

They were waiting for Emperor Xia to speak about how to deal with this matter.

And what was Emperor Xia waiting for?

He was waiting for another war report.

There were military supervisors in the court army, and the military supervisors were generally eunuchs trusted by Emperor Xia.

In addition to the eunuchs, Emperor Xia also had shadow guards, and he was also waiting for news from the shadow guards.

Lin Xiuming's battle report was so horrifying that even Emperor Xia doubted whether it was true.

If Lin Xiuming said that he killed tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers and the rest fled, he might think that Lin Xiuming was exaggerating his military achievements.

But if you said that he killed 200,000 barbarians, it would be the other extreme, and it was too fake to be fake.

Lin Xiuming did not write a battle report, but ten tribes!

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely dull at this time, and people could even hear their own heartbeats.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice outside the hall finally broke the silence.

"Great victory in Beijun!!!"

Hearing this voice, the ministers' hearts sank.

Generally speaking, the first battle report is issued by the general on the front line, and the second is issued by the military supervisor. Although the military supervisor and the general are both on the front line, they are not on the same side.

The military supervisor represents the emperor's eyes. Although there are occasional cases of collusion between the military supervisor and the general, this situation is rare in Daxia, because the eunuchs who serve as military supervisors know how powerful the shadow guards around Emperor Xia are, and most military supervisors dare not collude with the generals on the front line.

The first battle report is a great victory, and the second battle report of the military supervisor is also a great victory? ? ?

Doesn't that mean that Beijun has really achieved impressive results?

How is this possible?

Could it be that Lin Xiuming's battle report is true?

No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! ! !

They would rather believe that Xia Taizu crawled out of the imperial mausoleum than believe that the King of the North has this ability! ! !

Soon, the red silk messenger sent by the military supervisor came to the hall. He knelt on the ground and said loudly: "A great victory in Beijun! The King of Bei led the soldiers of Beijun and fought bravely! Killed countless enemies! Raise the prestige of our Great Xia!!!"

This time, the red silk messenger did not directly say how many barbarian soldiers were killed, but through the words of the second red silk messenger, it can be basically judged that Beijun is very likely to have won a great victory!

The ministers almost dropped their jaws. Beijun actually had a great victory?

Have the barbarians been so weak?

However, the ministers soon realized that killing a thousand barbarian soldiers can be said to be a great victory, and killing ten thousand barbarian soldiers can also be said to be a great victory!

The second red silk messenger did not say how many barbarian soldiers Beijun killed this time, which does not mean that Lin Xiuming's battle report is true.

Maybe Lin Xiuming really lied about the number of deaths of barbarian soldiers!

Besides, Lin Xiuming said that the war was over before they arrived in Yancheng. What kind of great victory could the King of Bei’s soldiers achieve? At most, killing a few thousand barbarian soldiers would be good.

At this time, the eunuch below the dragon platform hurriedly took the battle report from the second red silk messenger, and then walked to Emperor Xia and handed it to him.

Emperor Xia picked up the battle report without hesitation and read it carefully.

At this time, the ministers raised their heads again and looked at Emperor Xia's face, wanting to see how angry he would be later.

However, what the ministers expected did not happen. As Emperor Xia's eyes swept over the battle report, his brows became more and more furrowed, and soon his brows were furrowed into a "chuan" character.

At this time, the ministers did not see the anger on Emperor Xia's face. The expression on Emperor Xia's face was more of surprise, confusion, and puzzlement.

This time Emperor Xia did not let the eunuch read the battle report.

Unlike Lin Xiuming's battle report, which was so concise, the military supervisor who accompanied the army described in detail what they saw in the battle report.

The military supervisor said that he saw the corpses of barbarians all over the ground, which was consistent with Lin Xiuming. The military supervisor also said in the battle report that he saw Beijun had at least 50,000 heavy cavalry.

Seeing this, Emperor Xia instantly felt something was wrong.

Where did these 50,000 heavy cavalry come from?

At this moment, a shadow guard in black armor suddenly appeared below the dragon platform, and the ministers didn't know how he appeared.

Under normal circumstances, the shadow guard would not appear in the court, and would only report intelligence to Emperor Xia alone after the court session.

Unless the matter is very important!

The shadow guard said at this time: "Your Majesty, urgent news from Beijun!"

The eunuch immediately took the shadow guard's intelligence from the shadow guard and handed it to Emperor Xia.

After reading the shadow guard's intelligence, Emperor Xia felt uncomfortable all over.

From Lin Xiuming's battle report, to the military supervisor's battle report, and finally to the shadow guard's intelligence, it has been shown that the King of the North does have a heavy cavalry of nearly 50,000 people, and the King of the North is not an ordinary person.

As for the killing of 200,000 barbarians and the capture of 100,000 barbarian soldiers, it is naturally true.

Emperor Xia suddenly felt that his worldview was severely impacted.

His least optimistic son has now become his biggest threat?

Seeing the face of Emperor Xia so ugly, the right prime minister Zhao Wenhan finally couldn't stand it anymore. He asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, I wonder what the second battle report said?"

After hearing Zhao Wenhan's voice, Emperor Xia came back to his senses. He adjusted his emotions and his expression became cold again.

"After multiple intelligence reports, it was confirmed that the King of the North did lead the army of Beijun to kill 200,000 barbarians and captured more than 100,000 barbarian prisoners."

As soon as this was said, the whole court exploded instantly.

Oh my God! ! ! It's true! ! !

How is this possible! ! !

The useless prince of the King of the North was able to achieve the greatest military exploits in the history of Daxia! ! !

Emperor Xia didn't achieve such a record when he fought against Chen State! ! !

And the King of the North was facing an army of 300,000 barbarians, and the combat effectiveness of the barbarians was generally stronger than that of Daxia's army!

How did the King of the North defeat the barbarians with just a few soldiers in Beijun! ! !

Could it be that Xia Taizu really crawled out of the imperial mausoleum and crawled to Beijun to help the Northern King defend Yancheng? ? ?
