I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 690: Suspicion within the Qing court
The entire Zhengbai Banner was destroyed.

Jianzhou City has fallen into enemy hands.

The enemy is unknown.

He could imagine what kind of uproar these three pieces of news would cause after being sent to the capital, and he could even more imagine the anger of the bigwigs in the capital.

Li Kan led 100,000 Tang cavalry back to Jianzhou City.

Although he failed to capture Mahara, the leader of the Plain White Banner, this time, it was only a small regret. Li Kan still won a great victory for the Tang Dynasty, which was a good start.

Li Kan returned to Jianzhou City and without delay went to report the results of the battle to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng received Li Kan's report at the prefectural mansion. Although he had expected it, he was still greatly excited to hear the news that the once-mighty Zhengbai Banner had been annihilated in the previous life.

"Haha, well done. The Plain White Banner is the fang of the Eight Banners Army. Li Kan's sharp arrow has uprooted the fang. It will be enough to cause pain to the Eight Banners Army for a while."

Li Kan was overjoyed to hear Li Zheng's praise.

"Your Majesty, in your opinion, will the remaining Eight Banners Army attack Jianzhou City in a rage?"

As an experienced general, Li Kan now habitually listens to Li Zheng's opinions.

"Humph, I am looking forward to these Tartars coming to attack, so that they can have a taste of the power of the Shenwu Cannon."

Li Zheng talked about business and continued.

"But I don't think these Tartars will easily mobilize their troops. They will probably report to the court first. But they won't sit idle either. They must be ready to attack the city."

Li Kan nodded in agreement, and Li Zheng lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking.

"Li Kan, fly out the Sun, Moon and Dragon Flag of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Tang Dynasty has established a firm foothold, there is no need to hide it."

Li Zheng was looking forward to the Qing Tartars seeing the Tang Dynasty dragon flag again.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Kan took the order and left.

The capital of Qing Dynasty.

An urgent secret letter sent over an 800-mile journey caused a stir throughout the capital.

The current emperor of the Qing Dynasty was the eight-year-old Emperor Kangxi, but in fact all the power was in the hands of four regents.

The four are Sony, Suksaha, Ebilun and Oboi.

The Prime Minister Soni had just passed away due to illness, and Oboi had already shown his arrogance and autocratic ambitions, so the one who actually held power in the Qing court was Oboi.

Therefore, the first person to get the news was not the current Emperor Kangxi but Oboi.

Aobai looked at the secret letter about the destruction of the Zhengbai Banner, and his thick black eyebrows could not help but frown together.

He had always been at odds with Shuksaha, who came from the Zhengbai Banner, but the news of the entire Zhengbai Banner being massacred still made him feel a little unbelievable.

He couldn't help but read the secret letter in his hand again and again, and finally accepted the fact helplessly.

As for the murderer, the first thing he thought of was the remaining anti-Qing forces, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't figure out which force could destroy the entire Zhengbai Banner without making any noise.

"These rubbish in the Eight Banners Army are becoming increasingly incompetent."

Seeing the big words "Enemy Unknown" on the secret letter, Aobai couldn't help but swear.

"Even Jianzhou City was lost?"

Then she saw the news that Jianzhou City had fallen.

This matter was of great importance. Although Oboi had ambitions and the desire to monopolize power, he had not yet thought of rebelling. He must inform Emperor Kangxi of this matter as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Oboi no longer hesitated.

Soon, the court meeting began.

The eight-year-old Kangxi sat upright in the main hall, but there was another chair in front of him, which was the seat of Oboi.

Oboi sat in front of the little emperor with a calm expression. After a while, his inner shock had calmed down.

When the court meeting was convened, an official read out the secret letter from the Eight Banners Army on behalf of Oboi.

After the secret letter was read, the whole court was in an uproar.

Among them, Shuksaha's reaction was the most exaggerated.

"Impossible, Aobai, where did you get this absurd story from? How dare you spread such nonsense in front of the emperor?"

Abahai frowned, somewhat annoyed by Shuksaha's unreasonable behavior.

"Shuksaha, you are blind. This secret letter was presented by Mahara."

Shuksaha's momentum dropped when he heard this. Of course, he was not so unrecognizable that he could not even recognize Mahala's handwriting, but when he looked at Aobai who looked like he was sure of himself, he suddenly became suspicious.

He turned around and bowed to the little emperor behind Oboi.

"Your Majesty, now that the world is at peace, why did a force that could destroy the Plain White Banner right under the noses of 200,000 Eight Banners troops appear out of nowhere? I suspect someone is secretly supporting them and targeting our Plain White Banner."

Shuksaha spoke with tears in his eyes, which made people feel sympathy.

Although the young Emperor Kangxi was known for his intelligence, facing this sudden national event, it was impossible for him to have any ideas, let alone take action against Oboi and uphold justice.

But Shuksaha's words were obviously spoken to the young emperor, but in fact they were addressed to all the civil and military officials in the Qing court.

Although Oboi had always been flirting with the only remaining regent, Ebilun, there were many people in the Qing court who were dissatisfied with him.

Sure enough, after Shuksaha finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court changed their expressions.

Of course everyone knew who Shuksaha was referring to. Although all this was just Shuksaha's guess, what if it was true?

Then Oboi went too far. The Eight Banners Army was the most fundamental cornerstone of the Qing Dynasty's rule. Oboi's direct attack on the Plain White Banner angered the public.

Therefore, the wind direction in the court began to change, and the civil and military officials of the Qing court all demanded a thorough investigation of the culprit behind the demise of the Plain White Banner.

Of course, there were also supporters of Oboi, but they naturally would not believe that Oboi would be so cruel.

For a while, there was chaos in the Qing court.

Oboi didn't expect that Shuksaha would actually think that he was the one behind this matter. Looking at Shuksaha who was throwing dirty water on him, Oboi was furious.

He strode forward, walked in front of Shuksaha, and slapped Shuksaha in the face with a palm as big as a palm fan.

Shuksaha certainly never thought that Oboi would dare to fight him in front of all the ministers, and he was slapped hard in the face.

Oboi was known as the bravest warrior in the Qing Dynasty, and he attacked in anger, so the slap was not easy to take.

Shuksaha was hit by Aobai and passed out.

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Everyone was skeptical about Shuksaha's guess, but now many people firmly believed that it was Oboi who secretly destroyed the Plain White Banner.

There was no other reason. Now Abahai's arrogance had intensified with the death of Prime Minister Sony. He could knock out Shuksaha, who was also a regent, in court, and he could go crazy and attack Zhengbaiqi.
