Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 240
Although he won a battle, the general died...

Is this a blessing or a curse?
no one knows...

After Li Yancheng, General Mu, who was barely supporting the overall situation, let out a long sigh.No one knows whether this is a blessing or a curse.But things have already happened, and there is nothing he can do about it, so I can continue to take care of it.He wrote everything that happened today on this sheet and handed it to His Majesty.This is the only thing he can do.

What a pity for such a talented general...

Old General Mu lamented, and then said in despair:
"This is really jealous of Yingcai... God hates Daxia so much, right? He even wants to take away such a person?"

But even if he is helpless and desperate, it can't change what has happened.

……

By the time Jiang Yi received this payment letter, it was already five days later.

The good news of the victory at the border reached the capital earlier than this memorial.

Because of this long-lost victory that was nearly 30 years late, everyone was dancing and excited.

Many people cried with joy and cried bitterly on the ground in the dusty streets.The humiliation they have suffered at the hands of the Qingyi people over the years will finally be repaid one day.

Princess Anle who was forced to marry, Princess Anning who committed suicide in the palace gate, Luan City fell in just three days...

It's not that they don't remember, it's just that they can't do anything about it.

These are not only humiliations suffered by the royal family, but also humiliations suffered by countless Daxia people.

People praised the emperor who had only been in power for less than a year.Jiang Yi was even more excited because of this great battle, and the people actually put his name together with that of his grandfather, Emperor Wu. Jiang Yi believed that this was the highest commendation for him.

In the past few days, the best restaurant in the capital held a banquet for three consecutive days. Countless guests came and went, drinking and drinking with smiles on their faces.

It was a proud and majestic smile. People in Daxia could rarely be so confident and cheerful.

Those scribes who were in the capital, waiting to take part in the imperial examinations that would be held in a few months, were even more excited. They wrote about the grand occasion of the capital at that time with their brilliant words.

For everyone, these days are as good as the Spring Festival.

It is rare good news in decades and an auspicious day.

Even the merchants on the street narrowed their eyes with laughter and felt happy.

It is said that people are in good spirits on happy occasions.

The streets have become more lively these days, with more people taking to the streets. Even the business of street stalls has improved a lot, not to mention those restaurants.

There was also a lively gong and drum troupe and dragon dance troupe invited by someone on the street.

Many officials in Kyoto took a break from work in the afternoon and took their children to stroll on the streets to enjoy themselves.

In the Daxiangguo Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, there is an endless flow of people coming and going these days.Although there are many noble people wearing silk and satin, there are also many ordinary people wearing coarse cloth who come to the temple to fulfill their vows.

The monks and novice monks all greeted the pilgrims with smiles, and even the Buddhist temple had a bit of fireworks.

In the Chongguang Palace at this time

Jiang Yi has been busy with government affairs and official duties during this period. He rarely goes to the harem throughout the day and basically stays in Chongguang Hall.

He went to court in the morning and spent the afternoon in the apse processing the memorials that kept coming.

The pile in his hand was the most urgent memorials, many of which were rushed to Kyoto by the Ministry of War and the border.

Only then did Jiang Yi receive the late memorial from General Mu. He flipped through it and glanced at it hastily.

Chong'an was always paying attention to Jiang Yi's expression, and saw that the corners of His Majesty's mouth that were originally raised were now drooped, and his entire face was ashen, as if he had lost his soul.

Veins popped up on Jiang Yi's arms, and the paper he was holding in his hands had wrinkles on the edges.

His eyes looked into the void, dull as if they were about to be extinguished, uncertain and dim.Chong'an's heart skipped a beat. Seeing His Majesty's reaction, he also realized that something bad might have happened, and that the memorial was not good news that would please His Majesty.

"Your Majesty"

It was only in Chong'an's worried calls that Jiang Yi came back to his senses from the bad news.

Seeing Jiang Yi wake up from his sluggish state, Chongan asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Chong'an looked extremely nervous. He was not worried about anything else, as long as he was worried about His Majesty and His Majesty's health.

Recently, I have been immersed in the victory brought by Commander Li, and I even ate a few more bowls of rice.If something big happened now, Chong'an would have to worry about His Majesty's health.

"Yancheng...he...he died on the battlefield."

There was a sad look in Jiang Yi's words, as if all his thoughts were lost. Even the originally shining eyes were covered with a layer of gray and became dim, with tears sneaking out of the corners of his eyes.

It can be seen that Li Yancheng's death had a great impact on Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi said this with great difficulty.

Then he fell on the chair and looked at the writing on the memorial over and over again.

Although everything was clear to his mind, Jiang Yi still couldn't accept the fact that Li Yancheng had died at the border.

How could Li Yancheng, such a good person, die?

Such talent only showed once and amazed everyone.

Jiang Yi originally thought that having Li Yancheng was like a gift from heaven, just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had Huo Qubing. He finally had a general who could fight for him on the battlefield and bring victory.

Can……

God does not follow people's wishes...

Everything is always unsatisfactory.

Chong'an on the side did not dare to interrupt anymore. He looked at His Majesty with soft eyes and his heart beat loudly.

He knew Li Yancheng, and he knew what the death of a general at this time meant to His Majesty.

How much your Majesty thinks highly of Commander Li and how much he trusts him.

These days, Daxia finally came to a new world, but now...it seems that he is about to be beaten back to his original shape.

Chong'an knew that it would take time for His Majesty to accept this reality, so he stood silently beside Jiang Yi.

in fact……

According to Chong'an's own opinion and his humble opinion, he felt that even without Commander Li, this did not mean that Daxia was completely hopeless.

But it's a pity, that's a genius general.

He opened his mouth, but no words of comfort came out.

Yes, they had other generals, and they had just won a big victory.

It's not all that bad.

far from...

Your Majesty needs to cheer up... Chongan thought secretly in his heart.
