My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 486 Debate

Fortunately, at this moment, Qiu Luan seemed to have noticed Zhang Cong's embarrassment. This man was particularly talkative along the way. I heard that there were very few elegant bachelors who wrote to the emperor during the Great Ceremony Incident that he would severely punish the Queen Mother Zhang and her party. Such a moment of speechless defiance.

He opened his mouth to solve the current dilemma for Academician Zhang.

"I can give you a month, just like the Li court, to submit a letter to the court... But you must return the seals and ceremonial guards of the previous dynasty, as well as the gold seals and canonization edicts given to the kings of the Li Dynasty by the emperors of the past dynasties. ."

"In fact, we already do that."

Morden Ying opened his mouth slightly, his expression a little bitter.

"But our only worry is that we won't be able to receive a reply from China."

He looked at Qiu Luan in front of him and these Ming Ting warriors behind him.

"I can assure you that as long as Mo's army retreats to the south of Mengjiang, my army will not continue to pursue it."

Of course, the Ming army will not pursue you, but it does not mean that others will not.

Qiu Luan's meaning is obvious.

After all, he came here for two things.

If you can bleed less, bleed less.

Qiu Luan looked at everyone in the hall.

"What do you think-"

Qiu Luan replied.

Jiangbei is the essence of Annan's rule. As for whether Mo Dengyong will make a comeback, this is not something Qiu Luan needs to worry about, nor is it something he needs to worry about now.

The two sides are now in a stalemate in the jungle of Jiangbei.

"good!"

……

There was some admiration in his eyes.

Qiu Luan didn't want all his soldiers to fall in a strange foreign country.

After the first stage of the battle was completed and the Li Dynasty restored the basic ruling order in Jiangbei, the army began to rotate, and then the second offensive was launched to completely defeat the remnants of Mo Dengyong.

"Jiangbei is the essence of the South. If it can be obtained without using weapons, there is no reason why we should not follow it."

At this moment, the capital, Longevity Palace.

Ruan Gan answered before his father who wanted to say something.

In the first stage of strategic planning, the Ming army would drink up the Ma Dajiang River and expel all the Mo family's forces to the south of the Yangtze River.

One is to capture prisoners of war.

The first task is almost completed, and the second task can just use Mo Dengyong's power to force the internal forces of the Li Dynasty to agree to the Ming court's requirements.

For Qiu Luan, if he could capture a large area of ​​land in Jiangbei without any bloodshed, it would not be unacceptable to let Mo's army leave.

"If the thief can retreat on his own, then there will be nothing he can't do——"

The second is to establish a pro-Ming rule in the old land of Annan.

Zhu Houcong listened to the report of Yuan Zonggao, who had just been appointed as the temporary chief assistant.

"The reserves of materials used for worshiping the heavens are all ready, and the sacrifices captured from the four barbarians are also in place. The real people in the Qintian Prison have calculated the auspicious day, and the sacrifices to the heavens can be officially started on the fifth day of the next month -"

Zhu Houcong was sitting on the imperial stage, with two maids beside him wiping his body.

He felt the digestion progress of the elixir in his body.

Once again, I was shocked by the power of destiny.

Less than 1%, but it already gave Zhu Houcong enough power to use his physical body to compete with the power of Nascent Soul and even higher-level immortal cultivators.

What a miracle medicine——

Along with Zhu Houcong's vague mood swings, a sudden cold wind suddenly blew in the surrounding air.

The cold wind was biting, carrying the cold water vapor under the Nine Netherworld.

Yuan Zonggao couldn't help but shudder in this early summer world. Although Zhu Houcong has already sealed the spiritual energy channel in his body, otherwise once his own spiritual energy starts to circulate, it will swallow up several years of spiritual energy in the entire Xiyuan Spirit Gathering Array.

But even the slightest emotional fluctuations begin to interfere with reality because of their own existence.

"very good……"

Daojun's voice was neither sad nor happy.

This made Yuan Zonggao feel more and more unpredictable about the emperor in front of him.

Far from being comparable to the young man who came to Prince Xing's Mansion back then.

"What's missing?"

"There is no——"

Yuan Zonggao replied respectfully. He had naturally taken care of everything before reporting back to the emperor.

Any news that may offend this earthly man and god must be carefully considered and then tactfully conveyed to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

It was conveyed from the chamberlain to the emperor himself.

As the most powerful ruling tool of the empire, the imperial court naturally had to do everything possible to solve the difficulties encountered by the emperor and the empire itself during this period.

"Is there any news from Annan?"

really--

Following the emperor's question, Yuan Zonggao's heart began to rise slightly.

"Some of them, Qiu Luan wrote to the two kings of the Li family who were arguing over the throne and asked the court to issue an edict to reprimand them. Today, Mo Dengyong and other traitors came to the court to pray for submission to the court, claiming that they had no different intentions and that it was just the Li family that was unethical. Lean troops to fight against it..."

Yuan Zonggao saw the emperor's torso move when he was sitting on the throne after hearing the news from Annan.

The emperor was very interested in the news about Annan.

"Don't worry about the Li family for now. What are they going to do with Mo Dengyong, Qiu Luan and the others——"

"Qiu Luan ordered Mo's commander-in-chief to withdraw from the north of the Yangtze River, and ordered the Ming army to station along the river to prevent Mo's reneging on going north, and to wait for the court's decree."

Yuan Zonggao said, this is news that was not just received recently.

The Li family's envoys from the Ministry of Rites almost started fighting over who was the true master of the Southern Kingdom.

If he wasn't afraid of losing Ming Ting's favor, he might have started a full martial arts campaign by now.

"I wonder what your father has planned for this -"

Yuan Zonggao asked cautiously.

"For this matter, we will select some bachelors from the Hanlin Academy to edit this matter, and then select some people from the Ministry of Rites to go to Annan to clarify the relationship here and let them discuss and decide on their own. I am also very interested in how to deal with it in the end—— "

Hearing the emperor's somewhat playful words, Yuan Zonggao knew that the blame would have to fall on the officials below him again.

"Other matters can be left to the various ministries of the imperial court. However, the prisoners of war captured from Annan are something you and the cabinet should pay attention to for me - the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is related to the subsequent war of the empire to destroy Mongolia. It is related to the fate of the country and cannot be tolerated. lose--"

The emperor's voice came, and this time his voice returned to calmness.

"Huang Jin!"

"Chen is here!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Zonggao saw the emperor summoning the eunuch Huang Jin who was accompanying him.

The emperor's attitude towards this companion who he had played with since childhood was obviously more trusting.

"Let Lu Fang find some capable internal supervisors from the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and then call me Feng Bao. Hasn't he always been looking forward to having a chance to prove himself like Gu Dayong? Let him and the internal supervisors Hang up the sign of the imperial court and go to Annan to supervise the army to see if there is any personal gain... and transport the prisoners to the north as soon as possible along the waterway."

Zhu Houcong said.

He couldn't wait for the day when the debate between these Confucian scholars would produce real results.

He needed to finish pacifying Annan faster.

The eunuch in the palace is naturally the most suitable candidate.
