Chapter 383 Good News
King Qi has been missing for almost a month?

Li Yongshou's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked what had happened.

Lu Fuhai looked left and right.

He still wanted to hide something, but Xiao Zheng and Chen Xiuzhu's aides were already very anxious, they didn't fulfill his wish, and they all knew what to answer.

After listening, Li Yongshou looked at Wei Junqian who also had a strange expression, and was also speechless.

He quickly wrote a brief note, and prepared to send it back eight hundred li in a hurry.

"Master Li," Lu Fuhai hurriedly pulled him back, and took out a note that he had written earlier, "I still have a good report here, why don't we send it back together."

Li Yongshou hesitated for a moment, and directly waved his hand to refuse.

The imperial envoy specializes in special affairs.

He came to investigate the whereabouts of King Qi.It's okay if Chen Xiuzhu is safe and sound, but if something really happens, he has to stay and find out everything.

As for the others, whether he won or lost the battle has nothing to do with his trip.

Lu Fuhai's face was ugly, and he flattered him a few more words.

However, Li Yongshou didn't intend to change his words at all.

Ugh.

He could only let out a long sigh, and then sent someone to send the good news back to Xingji City.

After seeing off the post envoy, Li Yongshou began to get busy.

Including Wei Junqian, the later generals of Starfall, he visited all of them one by one, and wrote piles and piles of various records.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and it took ten days for Li Yongshou's book to be delivered to Xingji City.

Expediting at [-] miles is considered a statute of limitations, and the time limit was obviously exceeded. The tired-looking postman did not plead after delivering the paperwork, and obediently accepted the punishment.

Emperor Changxing took the notebook from Baekje, opened it and looked at it.

He glanced expressionlessly at Luo Ken, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, "Chang Lu, send the booklet to the Qing family."

Luo Ken was waiting anxiously with his neck stretched, and his heart couldn't help jumping when he saw this.

After he finished reading the excerpts, he felt like crying for a while.Several other Shangshu and Taishi couldn't help coughing again and again.

Everyone was discussing how to deal with it.

Report!
Outside the imperial study room, the orderly shouted again, "Great victory for the East China Sea barrier!"

hum~
Everyone including Emperor Changxing couldn't help but be overjoyed.

However, after quickly circulating the good news, they fell silent.

Lu Fuhai discussed and discussed with a group of military advisers, and tried his best to write this memorial as pleasing as possible, but the casualty data cannot deceive people.

Everyone in the imperial study read the memorials from various places every day, and they could see the mystery at a glance.

Emperor Changxing looked gloomyly at Guan Yi, Minister of the Ministry of War, for a while he didn't even bother to ask about the loss of his own son.

"Guan Aiqing, what happened to Lu Fuhai?"

Two years ago, he had just transferred the garrison from Pinghai County to the west to Laigu County to quell the chaos, and the Japanese pirates went ashore to kill, burn and loot.

As a navy, the East China Sea Barrier did not notice anything strange on the sea, let alone intercepted it.

Now that the loss is so huge, Lu Fuhai still advertises it as a big victory.

Do you really think you are old and confused?
Guan Yi secretly groaned, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"These battles coincided with the stormy weather in Baekje. When I first arrived in Baekje, General Lu was not familiar with the surrounding environment of the battlefield, and the weather was not beautiful. It is understandable for me to miss occasionally."

"Furthermore, according to the loss ratio between the enemy and the enemy in the battle report, the Japanese pirates have indeed suffered a big loss. They suffered far more casualties in terms of personnel and ships than ours, and even the three food islands on which they depended for survival were destroyed. Two."

"Without food, the Japanese pirates will starve to death in tens of thousands of people. It is estimated that they will not have the energy to continue attacking Baekje in the next few days. For us, Yunchui, this is also a huge victory."

Having said that, he changed his words.

"Since this is the case, the old minister suggests that Your Majesty should ask the generals stationed in Baekje to find Prince Qi first, or find out as soon as possible why the mysterious newspaper knew in advance that the prince in Baekje was missing. What is behind it? power and purpose..."

Emperor Changxing thought deeply, and nodded with a stern expression.

Speaking of which, the release date of that half-monthly report is approaching.

If it is said that the near extermination of the Zhen Guogong Mansion aroused the public's interest in the newspaper, then once the disappearance of Chen Xiuzhu is confirmed, the accuracy of the newspaper will no longer be questioned by the world.

At that time, not only the idle female relatives in the back house, but also everyone who can read and write will surely have a share.

"Where is Du Ziming?" Emperor Changxing's face darkened again, "What does Jin Linwei eat? Is it so difficult for him to find out the source?"

The dog-legged Chang Lu immediately stood up and yelled at the little eunuch below with a high voice, "Are you deaf? Why don't you go to the commander of Jinlinwei to see him?"

"Yes!" The little eunuchs left in a hurry.

Guan Yi secretly let out a breath.

Among Yunchui's five frontier defense regiments, Lu Fuhai was the only general from the Ministry of War.

And now he happened to be in Baekje with Xiao Zheng, which inadvertently formed a contrast.

In the past years of assisting Baekje, Xiao Zheng didn't win any impressive battles, but at least he firmly defended Golden Dragon Beach and didn't lose any battles.

Guan Yi glanced at Emperor Changxing above.

Lu Fuhai, Lu Fuhai, you must not be compared by Xiao Zheng over and over again.Otherwise, the East China Sea barrier may return to the Xiao family's hands...

"His Majesty!"

Just then, an old voice sounded.

The few people in the imperial study room looked for their reputation and couldn't help but secretly complain.

However, Fan Wen, the Minister of Rites who spoke, turned a blind eye.

"Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, the way of life and death, must be investigated."

"The chief general of the Eastern Sea Fortress, Lu Fuhai, neglected his duties during his overseas campaign, and had a private relationship with His Royal Highness King Qi, which damaged his character. At the same time, he caused huge losses to the Eastern Sea Fortress. Even trying to deceive others in the battle report is really daring."

"Veteran, please Your Majesty immediately issue an order to bring Lu Fuhai back for questioning and punishment, so as to serve as a warning to others."

Emperor Changxing subconsciously looked towards the bottom right of the dragon case.

In the last great victory in the south, Fan Wen asked to recall Wei Junqian and Yuan Xingwen who sent troops without authorization at that time, but was knocked unconscious by Princess Yiguang with a stick.

It's a pity that the emperor's aunt is not in the imperial study now.

cough!
Emperor Changxing nodded, "Fan Aiqing is right."

"I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Those who do well will be rewarded, and those who do not must be punished. It's just that the battlefield is changing rapidly, and what the Japanese pirates will do after they come down is unknown. Lu Fuhai, as the commander of the East Sea barrier, can't just let it go."

"Well," he beckoned to Guan Yi, "Guan Aiqing, Lu Fuhai is a member of the Ministry of War. You write this down for me. When the battle in Baekje slows down, order him to explain immediately, otherwise he will be severely punished. "

Guan Yi and Luo Ken were overjoyed and quickly complimented: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty, you are so confused..." Fan Wen was so angry that his beard straightened.

Just as he was about to speak, the little eunuch's frightened voice came from behind.

"Your Majesty, Du Ziming, the Commander of Jin Linwei, is asking to see you."

Emperor Changxing was worried about how to deal with the one-brained minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Hurry up!"
