Chapter 409 Iron Blood Emperor 5

The doctor on duty at night at the Ministry of War immediately went to knock on Qianqing's door when he saw the urgent report from Babaili. Before the servant on duty at night came to call, the emperor Tu Xian and empress Shi Shi who had just ascended the throne were awakened.

"Ming Yun?" Shi Shi sat up in panic, with some bad thoughts in his heart.

"Qingqing," Tu Xian put his arms around Shi and patted her on the shoulder, which comforted her very well.

"Don't panic, I'll go and see what urgent military newspaper it is."

"Military newspaper?"

"Well, hurry up at [-] miles." Tu Xian's internal strength has developed rapidly, compared to Shi Shi who has only practiced for a few years, even if it is the difference between a martial arts master and a baby who can fight a set of boxing.

Tu Xian quickly put on his coat according to the night light left by the servant, and he reached out and took off his coat from the hanger.At this time, Mrs. Shi had already got off the bed, touched the comb and tiptoed to send Tu Xiantong hair.The servant on duty at night heard the sound and looked around quietly, only to find that the newly enthroned young emperor was already buttoning the buttons of his coat.The queen in a middle coat, with bare feet and loose hair, is pulling the hair of the new saint.

"Saint," the servant said. The emperor and empress couple looked like they were falling out, but it was still too early to wake up.

"Hold the lamp and open the gate of the palace. An urgent report comes in from eight hundred miles away."

The waiter was a little confused, Tu Xian slightly bent his legs, and squatted down so that Shi Shi could help him put on the crown.At this time, he had already buttoned up his clothes, and another night attendant at the exciting point quickly brought him socks and boots.

While putting on his socks and boots, Tu Xian asked the servant, "What's your name?"

The servant hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Return to the saint, the younger one is Yuan Wangcai."

Although he was in a hurry, Tu Xian couldn't help laughing, "Go to Liu Fu to change ranks during the day, and I will serve you by my side in the future."

Yuan Wangcai kowtowed cleverly again, without saying anything, got up and followed the saint to the main hall, followed by a string of envious companions.Soon the news that the new sage liked the clever servants spread throughout the palace within noon.

Zhou Wei, the doctor of the Ministry of War, led two soldiers who delivered the military report, followed the guards guarding the Qianqing Gate, and had just arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace. The palace gate came.Zhou Langzhong didn't think too much, he raised his hand to buckle the huge door knocker, and before he could knock on the door, the palace door of Qianqing Palace opened silently and quickly.

The lights of Qianqing Palace were turned on one by one, making several people feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.

The leading servant asked: "But there is an urgent military report from the military department at eight hundred miles?"

Zhou Langzhong responded subconsciously: "Yes."

The servant said, "Hurry up, the saint is waiting."

Surprised, Zhou Langzhong immediately took the two soldiers and followed the servants into the main hall.I saw the brightly lit main hall, the saint was already fully dressed, sitting in the middle and waiting for himself and the others.

Zhou Langzhong stepped forward and knelt down, "Saint, Zhou Wei, the minister of the minister's military department, is on duty tonight. I just received an urgent report from the eight hundred miles."

Zhou Langzhong handed over the military report that had been checked for wax in his hand, and a servant took it immediately.

"Stay flat. Give me a seat."

The saint's clear voice could not hear the feeling of being woken up from the bed at all.Zhou Langzhong carefully sat on the half-drawn drum stool, and glanced at the saint. He saw more than a dozen servants standing beside the two saints in an orderly manner. The saint had already opened the military newspaper and was reading.

"Where are the soldiers who sent the military report?" The saint quickly finished the military report and asked Zhou Wei.

"Back to the sage, the soldiers are waiting outside the palace." Zhou Wei thought that the sage would ask them, so he brought them into the palace.Now that the sage asked this question, Zhou Wei was glad that his guess was right.

The sage told Yuan Wangcai, "Wangcai, call someone in."

Zhou Langzhong was taken aback when he heard the name, he immediately saw the clever looking servant, he hurried out with brisk steps, Er Er brought the two soldiers in.

The two soldiers got Wangcai's guidance in this short period of effort.After the two came in, they knelt down and kowtowed in the middle of the main hall, saying in unison: "Meet the saint." Then they lowered their heads and knelt down neatly, waiting for the saint to ask questions.

"Which of you two knows the content of this military newspaper, let's talk about it."

The older one spoke with fear in his voice that couldn't be concealed.

"Saint, ten days ago, the soldiers who escaped from Luzon Island came back from a few ships. Our governor asked those people and said that a group of foreigners with blue eyes and red hair went to Luzon Island. General Hu, who guarded the island, saw them guarding the island. I can’t live in Manila anymore, and I sent a hundred people in more than [-] boats to report back, and only a few people from these small boats have arrived in Fuzhou.”

Tu Xian nodded.

The young man looked up at the sage, and Tuxian noticed that the man had a skin color that had been in the tropics for a long time, so he asked him, "Are you one of the ships that came back to report?"

The soldier was taken aback, looked at the saint and said, "Yes."

This is a soldier who can speak official language, no wonder the Marquis of Jinghai sent him to the capital.

"Do you know who attacked Manila?"

The soldier licked his cracked lips and said in a hoarse voice: "General Hu said that they are barbarians from Daluzon and Dayuan Island. Their guns are not as good as ours, but their artillery is better than ours. The city wall was bombarded several times by their artillery. The general said that the city wall could no longer withstand the bombardment, so he sent us back to report to the court. In addition, the general sent people to send all the women and children to the mountains. I hope the court can send women and children Take it back."

"Okay. Don't worry, the Fujian navy has already passed to Luzon. Get up. Wangcai, you take them to drink tea, get them some food and clothes, and then send them to the Ministry of War to wait for the letter."

Wangcai quickly agreed and walked over, motioning for the two to follow him out.

Zhou Wei was taken aback for a moment, then got up and stood up.The sage waved to him, and Zhou Wei walked towards the sage subconsciously.The saint handed him the urgent military report.

"Zhou Langzhong read this military newspaper first, I have something to do for you later."

This is a military report sent by the admiral of the Fujian Navy, Jinghaihou Shi Lang, in which he wrote in detail what he asked from the soldiers who escaped from Lusong to report the letter.At the end of the military report, it was written that he had taken the elite navy to Luzon to rescue the besieged comrades.If it is too late, they will also take back their family members.

Calculated from the time, Jinghai Hou Shi Lang has already arrived in Luzon.

Today is a temporary holiday due to the tension of the previous period.Now it seems that there is no need to rest.If the bell is rung to summon the courtiers to discuss matters, it will alarm everyone in the capital.

Tu Xian thought about it, and felt that there was no need to make such a big fuss.He looked back at the dozen or so servants around him, and ordered, "Now you all go to the mansions of the six departments and nine officials to deliver letters, and then let them send people to notify the departments under their respective jurisdictions. Go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a small court meeting. About the military newspaper, you can tell the elders first."

These servants all made a promise, and most of them dispersed in an instant.

"Zhou Langzhong, you go back to the Ministry of War and prepare the armaments of the Fujian Navy and the Guangdong Navy. You will give a detailed introduction to the small court meeting in Chenzheng."

"Yes."

Zhou Lang was so excited that he showed his face in front of the saint.Be sure to prepare all the armament materials required by the saint.He bowed respectfully and said goodbye to the saint, and a servant came and took him out.

After everyone dispersed, Shi Shi came out from behind.

"Ming Yun, but are you going to start a war?" Shi Shi just hid behind and listened to the details.

"Yes. They have attacked our house, so we have to go to war."

Tu Xian handed the military newspaper to Shi Shi to read.

"Ming Yun, how can I see this. The harem can't interfere in politics." Shi Shi didn't dare to answer.

"Tch. If the Empress Dowager hadn't intervened in politics in those years, she would have been able to manage political affairs when she was seven or eight years old? Don't listen to those rotten scholars. In their eyes, this matter is government affairs; in the eyes of our husband and wife, the family This is a family matter."

Hearing what the sage said, Shi carefully read the military newspaper and quickly handed it back to Tu Xian.

She sighed, a little worried, "Lu Song is far away. I don't know if the Fujian Navy can catch up."

The sage asked his servants to fetch water, and after washing, he said to Shi, "Regardless of the time or not, the Marquis of Jinghai's approach is right. You must bring your family members and children back. After that, none of those barbarians can be left behind."

"But our cannon..."

"You can rest assured that our artillery will not be inferior to theirs. Don't scare these barbarians. They will inevitably cooperate with Japanese pirates and invade the coastal areas of Fujian."

Shi Shi nodded, "That's the reason. Is it okay if we don't hold a grand meeting for this matter today?"

"If you don't need the Great Court Meeting, there will be more people standing around in vain. If it works, I will cancel the Great Court Meeting in the future."

Tuxian never thought that the great dynasty would be of any use, and the practical significance was mostly to reflect the majesty of the imperial power.

"During my father's western expedition, there was no grand court meeting, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, Ming Yun, if you want to cancel the grand court meeting, you should talk to the emperor first."

"Yeah. You should go to sleep for a while. At this time, the emperor is about to wake up. I will go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to talk to the emperor about the military newspaper."

Shi supported herself and said, "I'm going back to the Kunning Palace. After a while, Xiaowu wakes up and it's time to make trouble. You wear a cloak, it's cold in the morning."

Tu Xian nodded, took the cloak that Shi Shi handed over, and looked at Shi Shi who had changed his clothes, wrapped tightly, and led the people to the back.He also took people to the Compassion Palace.

After a moment of effort, the Qianqing Palace changed from brightly lit to dim.There was a sudden silence, as if the many people just now had never appeared, and the emergency military report had never arrived.

The sky began to snow, a piece of loose snowflakes, swirling in the north wind.The little north wind made people's necks chilly, and people couldn't help but want to retract their necks.

The saint quickened his pace, and the short-legged servants behind him couldn't help but trot in order to keep up with the saint.
