However, in order to prevent Zhang Rang from bearing a grudge against them, he still said,"Lord Marquis! Then this matter had to be done quickly! Because among the generals sent by the imperial court to Youzhou, Lord Lu Zhi has also sent someone back. I'm afraid that they will tell the emperor about this matter first."
Lu Zhi's men had returned with them to report this matter to the imperial court!
Zhang Rang would find out sooner or later! Now Zhang Rang and these scholars were fighting fiercely. If these people knew about this matter first and reported it to the emperor,
Perhaps Zhang Rang would hate them, and that wouldn't be worth it! So Wang Rui still told him about it!
When Zhang Rang heard that those scholars had returned, his face turned cold. Of course, this was not directed at Wang Rui and the others! "Don't worry!" he said. Leave this matter to me!
Humph! Every single one of these scholars was a good thing! This time, I won't let them succeed so easily!”
When Wang Rui and the others heard this, they didn't dare to answer. Seeing that it was already late, and it might be night time in a while, they hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Rang!
Zhang Rang nodded! Let the servants send them away! He hid in his room and started planning!
This matter was of great importance. He must not let those scholars succeed. Otherwise, would he still have a good ending?
Zhang Rang thought for a while and finally understood the situation. He then went back to rest in peace!
He was prepared to attack the Saint tomorrow morning. He could not give those scholars a chance!
Wang Rui and the others had also returned to their own residence. As long as Zhang Rang had made arrangements, there was no need for them to worry about the rest!
Moreover, Lu Zhi's people had also started to move. Liu Heng's great contribution would not be able to escape!
They had also made some preparations. They might even be summoned to the Imperial Palace to meet the emperor tomorrow! Hurry up and rest well so that you can be energetic tomorrow!
The next day, at dawn, Zhang Rang entered the palace! However, after thinking about it, he decided not to tell the Emperor earlier. It would be better to wait until the court session to report!
So he ran to serve His Majesty! He played with Liu Hong for a while!
However, after a while, it was time for the court session. Liu Hong had no choice but to go to court!
He was really too lazy to attend court now. Now that the court was delayed, how much time did he have to enjoy himself? Now that they were in court, the ministers would constantly quarrel and fight for power.
He did not care about his feelings at all, so he was too lazy to go to court!
But now, the world was in an eventful period. There were many things to do, so he had no choice but to go! Therefore, he had no choice but to go to court!
Liu Hong went to the main hall, yawned, and said,""Dear ministers, what's the matter today? If there's nothing else, hurry up and go back!"
Seeing Liu Hong's attitude in court, the ministers couldn't help but feel excited. They left their posts and began to petition the Emperor, saying that the Emperor should be diligent in government affairs and love the people.
Then, people started to criticize this person and that person. The group of people started to quarrel again. Not many people cared about the proper government affairs!
The few officials who received the report from Lu Zhi's subordinates were all from the Qingliu faction. Their positions were relatively low. When they saw someone arguing in front of them, they were too embarrassed to interrupt them, so they could only temporarily endure it!
Liu Hong became even more impatient when he saw these people quarreling again!
You say that I don't care about the government, but what about you? Is the so-called government just to watch you guys argue here all day?
Liu Hong shook his head helplessly and sighed. Zhang Rang, who was beside him, saw Liu Hong's expression and could not help but feel happy. The time had come!
So he knelt in front of the dragon throne and said,""Your Majesty, this old servant has something to report!”
Seeing that Zhang Rang had something to report, Liu Hong was immediately interested. Zhang Rang should know his own habits. If he had something to report at this time, it should be to share my worries.
"Father, what's the matter?" Liu Hong asked. Just say it!"
"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang chuckled. This old servant is here to give you good news! It's a joyous occasion!"
Liu Hong couldn't help but be delighted when he heard that. Could it be that Zhang Rang had gotten something strange and wanted to give it to him first?
So he quickly said,"Father, what good news is it?" Hurry up and tell me!"
Seeing Zhang Rang kneeling in front of the dragon throne with a face full of joy, the civil and military officials who were quarreling also stopped. They wanted to see what kind of scheme Zhang Rang was playing!
Zhang Rang saw that the emperor and the ministers were all paying attention to him, and he couldn't help but feel proud. He chuckled and said,""Your Majesty, last night, when this old servant returned to his residence outside the palace, he happened to meet a few acquaintances on the street.
These people were the Youzhou Provincial Governor Liu Yan and the Marquis of Anping. Liu Heng's generals were here to report the good news to His Majesty!
Your Majesty has won a great victory in Youzhou! Before the imperial court's army arrived, Liu Heng had already led his men to defeat the Xianbei army of 200,000! They were now chasing after them!
Your Majesty, the calamity of Youzhou has been resolved! Xianbei and Wu Heng also suffered a crushing defeat! Your Majesty, isn't this a joyous occasion?”
Liu Hong and all the officials were stunned by Zhang Rang's words. The hall fell silent!
A few days ago, they were still troubled by the invasion of the Xianbei army! Even if they sent tens of thousands of troops, they were still very worried. Liu Hong was also very worried!
After all, no matter how muddle-headed the emperor was, he still hoped that his country would be stable. Therefore, Liu Hong said in surprise and joy,"Father! What was going on? The Marquis of Peace had defeated the Xianbei army of two hundred thousand?”
"I heard from them that when the Xianbei invaded Youzhou, the Marquis of Anping volunteered to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
Didn't Youzhou Governor Liu Yan specially recommend him as the general of the Krupp Breaking Army?
Afterwards, Duke Anping led his own troops and some of the soldiers that the Youzhou Provincial Governor had given him. A total of ten thousand people set off.
Marquis Anping first brought 5,000 soldiers and set off. At the north of Yuyang City, they had a huge battle with the Xianbei army. In the end, the Xianbei army of 200,000 fled, and Marquis Anping also brought people to chase after them!
As for the specifics, this old servant is not clear! However, Youzhou Prefecture Governor Liu Yan and the Marquis of Anping's messenger had already arrived in Luoyang.
This old servant will arrange for them to be outside the palace. If Your Majesty wants to know the specific situation, why don't you summon them to the palace and ask them!”
Hearing Zhang Rang's words, the entire court fell silent. Five thousand people had actually defeated two hundred thousand Xianbei soldiers. This was unbelievable!
Therefore, some of the great clans came out and said,"Your Majesty, how can five thousand soldiers compare to two hundred thousand Xianbei soldiers?
Someone must be lying! Your Majesty must punish these people severely!"
They had always been dissatisfied with Liu Heng's new power. They looked down on Liu Heng's business!
Although their clan also did business in secret, it was only done through some servants!
Moreover, these great clans had been suppressing the talents of the Han royal family. If the imperial family's power was too great, they would be affected by the interests of these great clans!
Therefore, in recent years, the Han clan relatives had generally only been able to hold the position of provincial governor. Other than Zong Zheng, one of the nine ministers, who was only a member of the royal family, no one else could hold the position. There was not a single member of the royal family in the entire imperial court!
Now that they heard that Liu Heng had made such a great contribution, they naturally would not believe it!
Even if it was true, they would still suppress it. Moreover, it was impossible for 5,000 people to defeat an army of 200,000!
Of course, he didn't know that there was nothing impossible in this world. In the official history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a general from the Southern Dynasty who led thousands of people to the Northern Expedition. His thousands of troops actually forcefully broke through a city guarded by 200,000 people. This was a siege!
Now, it was not impossible for Liu Heng to defeat an army of 200,000 soldiers in the field!
Liu Hong rolled his eyes and said,""Won't we know what happened when we meet those envoys?”
After saying that, he called the envoys to see him!
Wang Bing and Liu Yan's men, as well as Lu Zhi's personal guards, had been waiting outside the palace for the Emperor's summons since early in the morning!
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time! Fortunately, His Majesty had finally summoned them. It seemed that Zhang Rang had indeed put in a lot of effort!
Wang Bing and the others followed a young eunuch to the main hall. They knelt down together and said,"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
Liu Hong looked at them and said," I heard that Marquis Anping was defeated in Yuyang. Is there such a thing with the Xianbei army?"”
Wang Bing asked Liu Yan's men to pass Liu Yan's memorial to the Emperor and said,""Your Majesty, this is a memorial written by the Youzhou Provincial Governor! Please take a look, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Rang took the memorial and handed it to Liu Hong. Liu Hong looked at it and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, he said,"Good! Good! Good! It was really satisfying! However, what exactly was going on?”
With Liu Yan's memorial, coupled with so many people witnessing this matter with their own eyes, and with Lu Zhi's testimony, this matter was naturally true!
Liu Hong was naturally willing to believe that his relatives could do such a big thing!
However, Liu Hong was still interested in how Liu Heng defeated the Xianbei army of 200,000! Therefore, he still wanted to ask!
"Your Majesty, I am the trusted aide of the Marquis of Peace. I personally experienced the exact situation of the war!"
I'll have someone report this to His Majesty!”
When Liu Hong heard that this person had actually participated in this matter personally, he was naturally very excited, so he asked Wang Bing to hurry up and say it.
