Wang Bo's face turned ashen after reading it.
This was because Li Xiao had written the tax revenue of Bingzhou in the past few years.
There was also the general situation of the collusion between some of the aristocratic families and the fifty county magistrates in Bingzhou.
"This commoner knows that the officialdom in Bingzhou is terrible, but I didn't know it would be this bad.
"Your Highness, I will definitely help you investigate the corruption of all the officials!”
Hearing this, Li Xiao nodded and said,"
"Wang Bo, this king will appoint you as the chief censor of Bing Province.”
"You have the authority to investigate and summon all the officials within the Bing Province.”
"This king also wants to tell you something. During this period of time, this king has to deal with the sneak attack of Xue Yantuo's 200,000 strong army."
"Therefore, your investigation should be more secretive now. There's no need to make a big fuss about it.”
Wang Bo bowed and said,"
"Respectable orders, we will listen to Your Highness's orders!”
As for Li Xiao, Wang Bo was certain that he was a wise ruler.
At such a young age, he already had such wise and experienced methods.
In time, he would definitely be the same person from ancient times to the present!
For a moment, the poet Wang Bo's temper flared up.
After bidding farewell to Li Xiao, he went back and wrote a poem.
A thousand years of longing for the land, thousands of miles of heroic monarch's feelings.
Look for the way to guard the border, far and near to listen to your voice.
——
As the sky darkened, Li Xiao received news that the wolf cavalry from Bingzhou had arrived.
The system had arranged for these fifty thousand wolf cavalry to come from the west according to the current Tang Empire.
No one knew why this army had suddenly appeared.
However, Li Xiao was a prince.
Then everything seemed natural. It must have been given by the current emperor, Li Shiming.
The wolf cavalry arrived overnight.
They were stationed at the south drill ground outside Bingzhou City.
The black mass of armored soldiers was awe-inspiring.
Xue Rengui, the general who led the army, was a young general.
Holding the halberd, he stood tall in the cold wind.
Xue Rengui, who was clad in armor, had a loyal expression on his face.
The blood vessels in his arms surged, and his eyes were firm.
Regarding the upcoming battle.
He wished he could immediately head to the grasslands and kill all the Xue Yantuo cavalrymen who had invaded the Tang border.
In the night, a group of men and horses quickly arrived. Li Xiao's guard, Tiger One Hundred Thousand, shouted,"
"Xue Rengui, His Highness has ordered you to gather the troops. Tomorrow, His Highness will personally inspect the Wolf Cavalry of Bing Province!”
"Here!"
Xue Rengui cupped his fists and said respectfully, his blood boiling.
It was their greatest honor for King Jiang to inspect them!
——
Chang 'an, Taiji Palace.
Li Shimin sat on the throne, civil and military officials lined up on both sides.
Li Xiao's memorial was quietly placed on the imperial desk.
All the officials were discussing the large-scale invasion of Xue Yantuo's cavalry.
Most of the officials thought that Bing Province couldn't resist.
Even now, Chang 'an was empty.
Not only would Bingzhou not be able to stop Xue Yantuo's cavalry, but Chang 'an would also be seriously threatened.
The capital only had fifty thousand soldiers, and most of the empire's main forces were fighting against Goguryeo.
And Xue Yantuo's cavalrymen were heading south on flat land!
If they took down Bingzhou, they would reach Chang 'an in less than five days.
"Your Majesty, this general is willing to lead the imperial guards to Bingzhou!”
Cheng Yaojin walked out of the class and shouted.
Zhangsun Wuji didn't wait for Li Shimin to react.
He immediately jumped out and stopped her,
"You mustn't! Chang 'an is even more important. The circumference of Chang' an City Pool is eighty-two miles."
"300,000 Xue Yantuo's cavalrymen may seem like a lot, but they can't take Chang 'an City at once.”
"At that time, the soldiers of the world will surround them from all directions and kill them all.”
"Therefore, I don't think we should send a single soldier to help Bing Province.”
Cheng Yaojin was furious.
"Zhangsun Wuji, what do you mean? King Jiang is in Bingzhou."
"Bing Province is the gateway to the north of Chang 'an. Do we have to place the battlefield in Chang' an and turn Chang 'an into a dangerous place?
"His Majesty and the country are on the line. You're really a scholar! You guys aren't going. I'll go save Bing Province!"
Li Shi Min frowned. It was not a good choice.
At this moment, Wei Zheng walked out and said,
"Your Majesty, it would be truly dangerous if the decisive battle were to be held in Bingzhou.”
"The elite troops of Bing Province have been taken away by Li Jing. Although Zhangsun Wuji is usually muddle-headed, I agree with his opinion this time.”
Cheng Yaojin glared at Wei Zheng and didn't say anything.
Even Li Shimin was afraid of Wei Zheng.
Li Shi Min thought for a moment and said,
"Dear ministers, what if we let Xue Yantuo in and beat him up? What about Xiao 'er and the people of Bingzhou?”
Zhangsun Wuji bowed and said,
"Your Majesty, isn't King Jiang very capable?”
"Then let him hold on in Bing Province for a while to ease his pain.”
"So that Chang 'an can make more adequate preparations. At such a critical moment, we can only lose the chariot to protect the commander.”
Wei Zheng immediately walked out and said loudly,
"Your humble servant objects to Lord Zhangsun's evil intentions. It's already a miracle that His Highness King Jiang repelled fifty thousand Xue Yantuo's cavalry.”
"Now that Xue Yantuo has made a comeback, Bingzhou is in danger. I suggest that we send the Yulin Royal Guards to bring King Jiang back to Chang 'an!”
Cheng Yaojin walked out and said to Zhangsun Wuji,"
"Zhangsun Wuji, are you trying to frame King Jiang and kill him?”
The ministers started arguing.
