False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

Later, more information about the battle in Liaodong came back.

"In the battle of Ningyuan, the army in the middle used itself as bait to lure the enemy deeper, flooding the Jurchens and destroying them!"

Li Zhao couldn't help but smile with joy as he read the battle report.

It is visible.

Lao Nu's newly established Houjin suffered such losses and would not dare to make any changes in the next ten years.

This allowed Li Tang to breathe a sigh of relief for the already corrupt situation in Liaodong.

What's more, after reading it, Li Zhao fell into deep thought for a long time, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

That means Zhao Kuangyin is dead.

This important minister of the late emperor was regarded as a formidable enemy by Li Zhao.

When the late emperor was still alive, Zhao Kuangyin started his career with military exploits and rose to prominence.

Until Li Zhao, the new emperor, came to power, he also received support from Zhao Kuangyin.

However.

Various signs indicate that Zhao Kuangyin, a court minister who was loyal to Li Tang on the surface, had many secret plans.

For example, the previous White Lotus Sect incident was vaguely related to Zhao Kuangyin.

However, Zhao Kuangyin was so powerful that Li Zhao had to keep it secret and wait for the opportunity.

But I didn't expect it.

Before Li Zhao could take action, Zhao Kuangyin died in Liaodong.

What made Li Zhao even more confused was the cause of Zhao Kuangyin's death.

According to what Lin Chen said.

Zhao Kuangyin was betrayed by his own brother, Zhao Guangyi.

He was accidentally ambushed and killed, and even his head was sacrificed to the old slave by Zhao Guangyi.

In the imperial study room.

After reading all the details of the Liaodong Battle, Li Zhao just put down the memorial and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this battle, Li Tang was able to claim a victory.

But this victory comes at a high price.

Half of the three armies led by Zhao Kuangyin were wiped out!

Moreover, Li Tang was unable to recover some of the land robbed by the old slaves.

Best situation.

That is, Li Tang regained Xiping Fort, and then used it to build the defense line of Jinzhou and Xiping Fort.

at the same time.

Lin Chen also mentioned the situation of Liaodong border generals in his memorial.

It is no exaggeration to say that the generals are unavailable, and the frontier troops under his command are even more uneven.

What made Li Zhao even more angry was that the Liaodong frontier army, which the imperial court spent so much money to support, had a one-third shortage, and all of them were eaten up as empty pay!

In addition, there was a general intention to surrender to the old slaves in Liaodong, which made Li Zhao determined to rectify it.

Check, check thoroughly!

Li Zhao made a decision in his heart.

If Liaodong is to be stabilized, a major blood change is necessary.

but.

When Li Zhao thought of this, he also felt troubled in his eyes.

If you want to stabilize Liaodong, you must send an effective supervisor to take charge and oversee the overall situation.

Li Zhao didn't have such cronies to use.

Lin Chen is quite capable.

But Li Zhao was reluctant to let Lin Chen go to Liaodong to see the snow scene.

"When Master Lin Chen returns to the court, you can ask him what he thinks of the situation in Liaodong."

After these thoughts flashed through Li Zhao's mind, he loudly said to Wang Cheng'en, "The war in Liaodong has been decided, and the barbarians have been defeated."

When Wang Chengen heard the words, he immediately smiled and recited some beautiful words praising Li Zhao's martial arts skills.

"Shut up, I'm asking you to pass on this news!"

When Li Zhao heard this, he couldn't help laughing and scolding.

soon.

News about the war in Liaodong spread in the capital.

The ministers who paid great attention to this matter and the people in the capital had mixed reactions after learning about it.

"Victory? Zhao Kuangyin died?!"

After He Shen learned the news, the expression on his face was wonderful.

"Congratulations, sir!"

At Heshen's house, a group of cronies were very excited after hearing this.

You must know that He Shen and Zhao Kuangyin were not meant to deal with each other. Now that Zhao Kuangyin died in battle, He Shen directly lost a political opponent!

However.

These Heshen party members looked ugly when they saw their master.

"Shut up!"

He Shen couldn't help but curse.

This made the smiles on the faces of the party members who were still happy for He Shen froze, and then stopped.

"You bunch of idiots!"

He Shen glanced at the party members in the hall and looked disappointed.

Could it be that these guys can't see clearly the situation between North Korea and China?

Why could he and Shen secure the position of Minister of Household Affairs and hold Li Tang's money bag?

Even the emperor Li Zhao turned a blind eye to his private corruption.

Is it really the emperor’s grace that is so great?

wrong!

It was just because Li Zhao needed him and Shen to stand up against Zhao Kuangyin.

Now Zhao Kuangyin is dead.

Can Li Zhao still make him big?

He Shen saw this very clearly.

The good days ahead may be gone.

Thinking of this, He Shen let out a long sigh.

Then seeing the confused expressions on the faces of his own members, he immediately lost the idea of ​​clarifying.

"Let's go down."

Wave your hand and let these embarrassing things go away.

The Heshen party members, who looked at each other in disbelief, had no choice but to retreat as instructed.

"If you want to keep the He family's wealth..."

After everyone left, He Shen's eyes showed a trace of anxiety.

At present, under his management for so many years, the assets owned by the He family are considered to be as rich as any country.

Because of this, He Shen realized that all this money was just floating clouds to the emperor.

Just one imperial edict can send everyone in his family to jail.

The last person to accept the money became Li Zhao.

He Shen didn't want his years of hard work to go to waste.

so.

He had to find a way to protect himself.

certainly.

For Heshen, he still has time to prepare.

Because Li Zhao will not pay attention to him for the time being.

As for the ordinary people in the capital, they were naturally jubilant.

After all, winning a battle is something worth celebrating.

only.

When the troops from the capital camp return to the court, it will be a headache to provide for the families of the dead soldiers.

Fortunately, Li Zhao has to worry about this problem.

at the same time.

Also paying attention to Lin Chen's situation is Lin Ruhai's family.

"Miss, miss!"

Zicuckoo hurriedly came to her young lady's room.

It turned out that after Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, he was highly regarded by Li Zhao.

Lin Ruhai had served as the salt inspector these years, and his family was quite wealthy, so he purchased a house in the capital.

Therefore, Lin Daiyu no longer needs to live in Jia's house.

During this time, Zijuan discovered that her young lady was much more cheerful than when she was in Jia's house.

"I just heard from the Jia family that Master Jia is quite unhappy these days."

Zijuan thought of this and came to Lin Daiyu's side according to some small thoughts.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Daiyu looked at the anxious Zicuckoo and asked curiously.

Hearing this, Zicuckoo couldn't help but tease her young lady.

"Miss, this is the news you asked us to pay attention to, which is about General Lin."

"Brother Lin?!"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she quickly called out a nickname.

For saving her father's life, Lin Daiyu had a good impression of Lin Chen.

"Brother Lin?"

Zijuan was shocked when she heard this title.

Even in the past in Jia's house, Lin Daiyu had never called out to Jia Baoyu, who had the closest relationship with her.

Lin Daiyu didn't see anything strange in Zicuckoo's eyes, only a little shy.

Zicuckoo suppressed some thoughts and quickly told the news about Lin Chen.

After learning that she had won the battle, Lin Daiyu's heart, which had been anxious recently, finally calmed down.
