Chapter 31 Ling Luoshi requests Zhang Jing!
Wang Shouren had heard of the fearsome reputation of the Great General since he was a child.
During the reign of the late emperor, nine important military towns were successively established in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty along the Great Wall defense line.
The three most important military strongholds were Datong, Xuanfu, and Liaodong.
Subsequently, the late emperor personally appointed ten generals to guard the nine border regions.
General Jingbu, as the head of the ten generals, has been guarding Datong for ten years.
The situation of the Frightened General was different from that of other hereditary meritorious military generals or civil officials leading troops.
He rose from humble beginnings, from an unknown soldier to achieve numerous feats on the battlefield, step by step, relying on countless military merits to become the top of the ten generals.
This person is highly skilled in martial arts, ruthless, and holds a large military force, making him a powerful figure!
If he harbors rebellious intentions, the entire court...
Wang Shouren dared not think about it further; a string of fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
According to the law, these generals who guard the nine border regions are not allowed to leave the border towns they are guarding without the imperial court's order.
This time, the Frightened General suddenly appeared in Liaodong without any prior notice.
Regardless of the circumstances, he cannot escape the charge of unauthorized troop deployment.
Moreover, the fearful general had secretly deployed 100,000 troops outside Liaodong City.
General Ling Luoshi is terrifying! What exactly is he planning to do?!
Outside Liaodong City.
The massacre perpetrated by the Great General of Terror against the Uriyangkhai continues.
With the Fearful General personally leading his troops in pursuit, the Uriyangkhai had nowhere to retreat and could only grit their teeth and charge into Liaodong City.
However, those remaining forces that approached Liaodong City were wiped out by the Ming capital army.
Caught between two forces, the Uriyangkhai were like turtles in a jar, with no way to escape, and were completely wiped out.
After the last Uriyangkhai soldier died tragically at the hands of Ling Luoshi, Ling Luoshi's troops stood before the Ming capital army.
As the two armies faced off, Ling Luoshi dismounted and leaped onto the Liaodong city wall.
The people on the city wall were on high alert, watching Ling Luoshi with great vigilance.
Ling Luoshi swept his gaze across everyone's faces, and seeing the solemn expressions on their faces, a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
His gaze fell on Zhu Wushi's face, and after looking him up and down, he said, "Iron-Blooded Marquis, Zhu Wushi?"
Zhu Wushi cupped his hands in greeting: "General, you are terrified."
Ling Luoshi turned to look at Wang Shouren, who was being protected by the crowd, and asked, "Who are you?"
Wang Shouren felt immense pressure when facing Ling Luoshi.
But remembering his current status, Wang Shouren raised his head, cupped his hands, and said, "I am Wang Shouren, Governor of Liaodong and General Who Conquers the Barbarians."
"By order of His Majesty, I have come to Liaodong to quell the Uriyangkhai rebellion."
"That must be the imperial envoy from the court."
Ling Luoshi suddenly knelt on one knee before Wang Shouren, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "General Ling Luoshi, the Frightened General, greets Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy!"
"I have led 100,000 troops from Datong to assist the Imperial Envoy in annihilating the Uriyangkhai!"
Ling Luoshi's kneeling startled Wang Shouren, who took a step back.
Then, Wang Shouren said sternly, "Ling Luoshi, the late emperor decreed that border generals are not allowed to mobilize troops without the court's authorization!"
"You came to Liaodong with an army of 100,000 without even a word. What is your intention?"
Ling Luoshi stood up and calmly replied, "I heard that Liaodong is in grave danger. Speed is of the essence in war, so I led my troops to support Liaodong in order to annihilate the Uriyangkhai."
"If Your Majesty blames me, I am willing to bear the consequences."
"you!"
Wang Shouren glared at Ling Luoshi, but he was powerless against this general who commanded a large army.
"I have one more matter to report to His Majesty, Your Excellency."
"Tell him that I, Ling Luoshi, request to return to the capital to report to His Majesty in person!"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the city wall tensed up.
The fact that General Jingba wants to enter the capital is no small matter!
Goodbye.
After saying this, Ling Luoshi jumped off the city wall and returned to the army.
The fearful general led his army away slowly. Zhu Wushi looked at Ling Luoshi, who was commanding thousands of troops, and took a deep breath.
With his exceptional martial arts skills and tens of thousands of troops under his command, Zhu Wushi both feared and envied Ling Luoshi.
"That Ling Luoshi is far too arrogant!"
Cheng Shifei couldn't help but mutter, "How rude! What's with all the arrogance?"
Zhu ignored Cheng's question and instead looked at Wang Shouren: "What do you plan to do?"
Before Wang Shouren could speak, a sharp voice rang out: "At this time, I will report the truth to His Majesty."
"His Majesty will decide everything."
Zhu Wushi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yu Huatian, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, standing in front of him.
Zhu Wushi's pupils contracted, clearly showing his great fear of Yu Huatian.
In the imperial court, Cao Zhengchun, the director of the Eastern Depot alone, was a major headache for Zhu Wushi, who regarded him as a thorn in his side.
The Western Depot, which rivaled Cao Zhengchun's Eastern Depot, was not to be underestimated, and its supervisor, Yu Huatian, was no exception.
Yu Huatian and Zhu Wushi's gazes met briefly in mid-air before quickly turning away.
Yu Huatian had also witnessed Zhu Wushi's killing of Hua Dang amidst tens of thousands of troops.
The power controlled by the Dragon Guard Manor has exceeded the warning line of the Western Depot.
The Western Depot oversees the entire country, not only officials, but also the Eastern Depot, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the Dragon Guard Manor.
If the Dragon Guard Manor makes any unusual moves, Yu Huatian will not hesitate to take action and eliminate it!
Subsequently, Wang Shouren remained in Liaodong to handle the aftermath.
After eliminating the main force of the Uriyangkhai, Wang Shouren will then sweep away all the remaining Uriyangkhai territory.
Yu Huatian, Zhu Wushi, and others left Liaodong.
Zhu Wushi returned to the Dragon Guard Manor, while Yu Huatian, Duan Tianya, and the others went to the capital.
It wasn't that Zhu Wushi was unwilling to enter the capital, but rather that the ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that regional princes were not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict.
If he had not been personally summoned by Zhu Houzhao, and had entered the capital without permission, it would have been considered treason and he could have been executed on the spot!
……
Forbidden City.
Qianqing Palace.
Liu Jin approached Zhu Houzhao and whispered, "Your Majesty, news has come from Cining Palace that the Empress Dowager has been feeling bored these past few days and has invited an opera troupe from the capital to perform in the palace."
"The Empress Dowager thinks the opera troupe performed quite well and would like to invite His Majesty to watch the opera at Cining Palace to relax."
Zhu Houzhao looked up from the memorial in front of him and raised his head expressionlessly.
After Zhu Houzhao ordered Cao Zhengchun to send Empress Dowager Zhang back to Cining Palace that day, he forbade her from going out, which was tantamount to imprisoning her.
It's understandable that she felt bored.
Inviting him to the play now is probably an attempt to rebuild her relationship with her son.
Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment, then stood up.
"Alright, prepare the sedan chair and proceed to Cining Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
