"Your Majesty, Guo Jing, Li Rang, and their accomplices have been captured and are being guarded by the people of the net," Zhao Gao replied respectfully. In addition, this was General Guo Deng's adopted son, Guo Song.”
As he spoke, Zhao Gao gestured to a young general beside him.
"General Guo Song greets Your Majesty!"
The young man heard the conversation between Zhu Qizhen and Zhao Gao and hurriedly stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Guo Song and nodded slightly." That's right. We will remember your contribution in helping Zhao Gao stabilize the situation in Datong.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Song hurriedly said. However, this is my duty. Moreover, if it wasn't for His Majesty sending Lord Zhao to arrive in time, my father might have already been killed.”
"Don't worry," Zhu Qizhen said,"Zhen will order the imperial physician to treat General Guo."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When Guo Song heard Zhu Qizhen's words, his face lit up and he thanked Zhu Qizhen once again.
Zhu Qizhen nodded." How about this? You can bring the imperial physician to take a look at your father first."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave!"
Guo Song thanked Zhu Qizhen once again before heading to Guo Deng's bedroom with an imperial physician.
After Guo Song left, Zhu Qizhen turned his gaze to Zhao Gao and said coldly,""Guo Jing, Li Rang, and the others, if the interrogation is completed and it is confirmed that they have colluded with the enemy, they will be beheaded on the spot and sent to the three armies! In addition, send my decree to the capital and have the Brocade Guard move out to exterminate Guo Jing and Li Rang's entire family!”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Hearing this, Zhao Gao quickly replied respectfully.
When the other officials in the hall heard Zhu Qizhen's decree, their hearts jumped.
During this period of time, the people who were ordered by Zhu Qizhen to have their nine clans executed were really quite a number.
However, at this juncture, no one dared to stand up and say anything.
Moreover, the crimes that Guo Jing and Li Rang had committed were indeed enough to execute their entire family!
"Chen Wenrong, listen up!"
Zhu Qizhen ignored everyone's thoughts. He paused for a moment and looked in Chen Wenrong's direction as he spoke solemnly.
"I'm here!"
Hearing this, Chen Wenrong hurriedly took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Zhu Qizhen.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Chen Wenrong and said," Due to his injuries, the former General of Da Tong, Guo Deng, is temporarily unable to take charge of Da Tong. Therefore, I order you to temporarily take over the position of Da Tong Town Guard.”
"In addition, 50,000 of the 200,000 soldiers under my command will temporarily stay in Datong and be under your command! You should reorganize the defense of all the border towns in Datong Prefecture as soon as possible. I hope you won't disappoint me!”
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Chen Wenrong's heart was filled with surprise and joy. He hurriedly knelt down on one knee towards Zhu Qizhen and thanked him respectfully.
When the other ministers in the hall saw this scene, they looked at Chen Wenrong with envy.
Although Chen Wenrong was temporarily acting as Datong's garrison general, it seemed that the word "temporary" would be canceled soon.
Moreover, Zhu Qizhen had given him another 50,000 soldiers to command on top of the Datong garrison. This trust and power was something that everyone envied.
Zhu Qizhen nodded and continued,"Go and report to General Fan Zhong and lead 50,000 infantry into Da Tong. Then, disrupt the original Da Tong garrison and reorganize the army to defend Da Tong and its affiliated border towns.”
"I will obey!"
Hearing this, Chen Wenrong once again bowed to Zhu Qizhen with cupped hands before slowly withdrawing from the hall.
After Chen Wenrong left, Zhu Qizhen's eyes swept across everyone in the hall and said,""Next, I will only lead the cavalry into the grasslands. Everyone will stay in Datong to assist Chen Wenrong in handling the matters of Datong Prefecture and wait for my army to return.”
"Your Majesty, I'm willing to follow you and charge into the grasslands to teach the Wala people a harsh lesson!”
"That's right, Your Majesty. We're willing to fight with you!”
"Your Majesty, please allow us to fight with you outside the pass!”
“……”
Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, the officials in the hall hurriedly shouted.
As for how many of these people were sincere, it was unknown.
"Alright, I've made up my mind. There's no need to say anything else. You all stay in Datong and let me have no worries behind. This is also an important task! I do not wish for any problems to occur in Da Tong, the Xuan Manor, or the border towns under their jurisdiction.”
Zhu Qizhen was too lazy to pursue the matter in detail. He waved his hand and directly interrupted everyone's voices.
When everyone saw Zhu Qizhen's resolute attitude, in addition to the fact that they had already expressed their loyalty, they immediately bowed at the same time and respectfully replied,"We obey your orders!"
" Everyone must be tired after traveling for so many days. Let's go and rest," Zhu Qizhen nodded slightly and said leisurely again.
"We will take our leave!"
When everyone heard Zhu Qizhen's words, they all respectfully agreed. After which, they bowed and cupped their fists before slowly retreating.
After everyone dispersed, Zhu Qizhen brought Tian Yan, Yuan Bin, and a group of Embroidered Uniform Guards to visit Guo Deng. Then, they returned to the room that Zhao Gao had prepared for him in advance in the General's Estate.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao is outside requesting an audience!”
Not long after Zhu Qizhen returned to his room, Tian Yan's voice came from the door.
