I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 45
The majestic Great Liang, with millions of soldiers, is actually stretched because of 3000 people.

This is really the biggest joke in the world!

Tang Can listened below, without saying a word, his face livid.

Faint Lord, Faint Lord, Faint Lord!

This stupid king is even more stupid than Tumubao!

It's really... a joke in the world!
In the court hall, civil and military officials are still arguing and debating.

Most of the civil servants still firmly believed that the three thousand cavalry were to rely on to meet the crown prince, and they would never start a war lightly.

Even if the generals think that Gaochang has declared war.

The civil servants still defended Gao Chang, never believing that Gao Chang's [-] iron cavalry were a deterrent, and even said convincingly: "As long as the [-] guards of Shendu go forward, only [-] barbarians will be wiped out in the blink of an eye. I don't know."

Even, his eyes were full of contempt for the generals.

For ignorant remarks, military commanders are speechless except speechless.

If the Gaochang iron cavalry were so easy to fight, they wouldn't be able to survive in the northern border of Great Liang for so many years.

Those barbarians were skilled with bows and horses, and they came and went extremely fast!

And the most important thing, if they can come for [-], can they come for another [-]!

After three thousand, will there still be thirty thousand?
There are sixteen guards in the capital of God, fifty thousand soldiers and horses.

Can be against the enemy three thousand, thirty thousand.

But what if it is fifty thousand or one hundred thousand?

Even if the Holy Majesty can trust the Zhenbei Army, the Gaochang Iron Cavalry has entered the hinterland.

Yangmou is like this, even Xie Anshi admires Gao Changguo's plan this time.

"Your Majesty, Gaochang's three thousand cavalry may have borrowed money from Dangxiang."

Gao Yuanyi suddenly spoke and said with a smile: "Although the desert east of Dangxiang is a natural barrier, if you are not afraid of death, you may be lucky enough to be able to cross the desert."

Xie Anshi's expression changed, and he blurted out: "You mean..."

"Correct!"

Most of the princes in the court do not understand what it means.

But the empress understood what he meant.

A few years ago, Gao Yuanyi suggested to her to surprise Gaochang through Dangxiang Desert.

The price of crossing the desert is one to one.

6000 people in, 3000 people out.

As for the 3000 people left in the desert, it is the strategic material reserve for another 3000 people.

Or... rations!
At that time, because of Gao Yuanyi's cruel plan, the empress directly expelled Gao Yuanyi from the capital of God...

"In that case, there is no need to worry too much."

Xie Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and continued: "It seems that there is a dispute within Gaochang, so..."

"Your Majesty, I think you might as well test Gao Chang's sincerity first, and at the same time send a guard from the capital of God to Shuofang."

"How to test?" the empress asked with a frown.

Xie Anshi took a deep breath and gave an answer in a deep voice.

……

Suddenly, Princess Tuoba of Gaochang reappeared in the court hall.

What surprised Tang Can was that the princess changed into a large summer skirt and looked even more beautiful as she walked gracefully.

"See the Emperor."

"Excuse me." The Empress waved her hand, and then got straight to the point: "Earlier, the princess said that the three thousand cavalry outside Shuofang City all surrendered to Great Liang, and life and death are all my words. Is it true?"

"Naturally." Princess Gaochang said softly with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "If the Holy Majesty doesn't believe it, why not order someone to take them all to the capital of God now."

"What if I order people to kill them on the spot?" The empress narrowed her eyes and stared at Princess Gaochang closely.

"It would be their honor if they can get the emperor's understanding in exchange for this." Princess Gaochang smiled lightly, not rushing.

All civil and military officials have different expressions.

The empress was silent for a while, and said in a cold voice: "Come here, pass the order to Baiqisi, and then you can leave Beijing and go to Shuofang, and kill those 3000 people... all, leaving no one behind!"

"Zhen, I want to build a Beijing temple in the north of Shendu City!"

hiss!
The courtiers couldn't help but gasp.

But... Princess Gaochang's expression remained unchanged.

After a while, he said softly: "If the emperor still can't understand, you can put forward conditions."

The courtiers already feel that their heads are not enough.

Everything that happened in front of my eyes was really unbelievable.

"I... am very curious, how did the three thousand cavalry appear in Shuofang?"

Princess Gaochang smiled and said softly: "He came out of the desert."

"Ten thousand in, three thousand out."

With seven thousand left, the outcome is self-evident.

Even if the Empress thought she was cruel enough, she couldn't help but change her face at this moment.

Princess Gaochang didn't feel much, she bowed slightly, and after saluting, "If the emperor has no other questions, Tuoba will take his leave."

A crowd of civil and military officials moved their throats and wanted to speak, but they couldn't speak.

In other words, I don't know what to say.

Even the empress was in a mess.

Could it be that...Gaochang's purpose was really just to welcome back the crown prince with great fanfare?

But...it doesn't make sense.

The two countries have been at war for many years, and Gaochang has never been so humble.

Even... the snow disaster in Gaochang in the past years, countless cattle and sheep were killed and injured, and the common people were in dire straits.

However, Gaochang did not surrender, but instead used the whole country to tear a hole in the northern border, dumping countless corpses, and snatched back enough food to survive the cold winter.

It seems that it is not impossible for such a warlike and crazy nation to do such an extreme move for the crown prince.

but……

The empress still decided to do nothing until Bai Qisi returned to the capital of God.

No troops were dispatched to aid Shuofang, the Zhenbei Army was not sent back to aid, and the mission was never seen again.

Even going to court, he was not interested and absent-minded.

The same is true for the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

At the moment, everyone's hearts flew to Shuofang, hundreds of miles away.

……

Flick two days.

In the early morning of the third day, smoke and dust billowed outside the city of Shendu.

Baiqisi is no more than a hundred people.

There are several heads hanging on the horses under each person's crotch.

To be precise, each of them had more than a dozen hooks on their saddles.

The hook is attached to the twine, and the other end of the twine is also a hook.

Hanging a blond head.

The head dragged on the ground, stirring up smoke and dust, and it became completely unrecognizable.

It is undeniable.

This approach is cruel, inhumane, and inconsistent with the etiquette of the Great Liang.

But...the people of Great Liang don't have enough sympathy for Fanbang and barbarians.

After all, many soldiers and civilians of Great Liang died on the northern border.

Far more than these three thousand heads.

……

Miyagi.

After receiving the news, the empress fell into deep thought again after listening to Shangguan Wan'er's words.

"My lord, the Jingguan has already been built."

"Well, let someone notify Honglu Temple to talk to the princess and see how she behaves."

"Yes."

Shangguan Wan'er immediately ordered to go down.

Not long after, Shangguan Wan'er's expression changed, and she said with some shock: "Your Majesty, that princess... is not abnormal, she is still in Honglu Temple."

"Passed by Xie Anshi and Gao Yuanyi."

"Yes."

Russian hectares.

Xie Anshi and Gao Yuanyi appeared in the Ganlu Hall.

After hearing what the empress said, Gao Yuan's smile faltered.

Xie Anshi also had a stiff expression.

The two looked at each other.

Then, Gao Yuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, from this point of view, you might as well promise Gao Chang to return the crown prince to them."

Xie Anshi nodded and said solemnly: "Although this seems to be an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to attack Gaochang, it is still difficult to say what the situation in Gaochang will be like."

"To appease Gao Chang in this way, give the world time to thrive."

"At most one year, our Great Liang will be rich and strong."

"At that time, even if there are changes in Gaochang, it will be difficult to become an enemy of Great Liang!"

"Ah."

A gleam of light flashed in the Empress' eyes.

In her heart, she also had the same judgment.

"Since that's the case, the envoys of Gaochang will have an audience this morning. In addition, about the Jingguan...inform the officials in advance."

"Yes."

……

soon.

Dragon Palace, court hall.

All the civil and military officials looked happy.

Jingguan, this is something I haven't seen for many years.

Three thousand Gaochang's heads were piled up outside the city gate in a bloody mess. It was horrifying, but at the same time it made people feel at ease.

Get rid of the hatred!

So disgusting!

From the beginning, they felt that Gao Chang was a few civil servants who were sincerely convinced, and they were even more proud at this time.

One by one, proudly holding their heads up, they look like proud little roosters.

Especially when they saw that Princess Gaochang was still wearing a Liang Ruqun when she entered the court, they were even more convinced that Gaochang must want to learn the etiquette of our Liang.

I don't know where their self-confidence comes from.

"Princess, I wonder if you have heard of the sightseeing outside the city?"

The Queen's voice was cold.

Princess Gaochang bowed slightly, and asked softly, "I wonder if the empress has calmed down?"

The queen's expression was as indifferent, but in her heart, there was a trace of relief.

With a chuckle, he changed the subject directly: "I promise you, as long as you sign according to the previously agreed land cession and compensation terms, you can welcome the crown prince back to Gaochang."

"Now, can the princess tell you who the crown prince is?"

"Don't worry, I won't break my promise."

"It's just that I'm curious, how talented is the crown prince, to make Gao Chang welcome him back even at such a high price?"

"Tuoba naturally believes the emperor's words. It's just that the identity of the crown prince is not trivial. Please forgive me."

Princess Gaochang's eyebrows were filled with joy and her tone was cheerful: "I also ask the emperor to sign the letter of credence."

"If the letter of credence is signed, Tuoba will recommend the crown prince for the emperor!"

This……

The empress hesitated for a moment, then ordered people to prepare.

Soon, a letter of credence was ready.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the empress picked up the imperial seal and pressed it solemnly.

In this way, the certificate of credence is completed.

Any party that violates the content of the credential is tantamount to declaring war!
Princess Gaochang stretched out her hand to take it, with an even bigger smile on her face.

"Shouldn't the princess tell me who is the Crown Prince of Gaochang this time?"

The empress' mood also improved a little.

After all, just as those civil servants who sat in a well and watched the sky said, this matter was really a victory for Great Liang.

Without a single soldier, take down the sixteen states in the Northland.

The size of the country increases and the number of people increases.

Either way, things are looking good.

at this time.

Princess Gaochang smiled slightly, moved her lotus steps lightly, walked to Tang Can's side, bowed slightly, and then said with a smile: "Tuoba sees the crown prince."
