Chapter 968: Infatuated Resurrection (Last Part)
There are so many things in the logistics. Not everyone dares to promise that they will be able to do their job without any mistakes. Moreover, if they are cooperating with the army to fight against Guirong, the risk will increase exponentially, and no one dares to boast about such a whim.
The prince's face was so gloomy that it could drip into water, because he thought of the Shen brothers. If his God of Wealth was still there, they might be able to take on this important task with their ability, but they had already lost to Li Ling. What's even more annoying is that Li Ling is going to return to the court with this!
But even if he was unwilling to accept it, he would not dare to insist on it anymore, and the rest of the people were the same. Seeing this, the emperor understood what everyone meant, and immediately said with a stern face: "Since King Ying, you have advocated that Li Ling be able to protect your logistics, I will make an exception and allow him to return to the court. However, as you said before, this matter is related to the life and death of millions of soldiers and the safety of my Great Yue world. There is no tolerance for any mistakes. The same is true for him, Li Ling. Can you make the right decision for him?"
This question made Wei Liang and Wen Ming, who were talking to Li Ling just now, feel nervous. Now he really shot himself in the foot, and instead put the difficulties on him. However, Sun Bi seemed quite calm and composed: "Your Majesty said so much. I am willing to deal with this for Li Ling!"
"Okay, then I will allow you to ask for it. I will issue an order to seize the friendship soon, so that Li Ling will return to the court and send troops to coordinate logistics for you!" The emperor immediately issued an order without waiting for the others to react, but there was no possibility of any change.
"I received the order!" Sun Bi did not have any worries and doubts, and hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.
At this point, the matter was completely settled, which made the prince and others look very bad. Not only did the military power and possible military merits not fall on them, but even the logistics merits had nothing to do with him. The more important thing is that in this way, the British King can really compete with the prince in terms of his authority and qualifications. If he could defeat Gui Rong, he would even be the crown prince.
With such a mood, after the dynasty was dispersed, the prince had almost no communication with anyone, so he left with a deep face. No one knew what he was thinking.
As for Sun Bi, after leaving the palace, Wen Ming and the others stopped him and asked: "Prince, are you too hasty to promise them this way?"
"Yes, your lord, you put Wen Zhong in danger. If you have negligence or some people deliberately make tricks in secret, he will be in trouble..."
Faced with their doubts, Sun Bi was not angry, but just smiled and said some of his previous concerns: "...So in my opinion, it would be better to give him a challenge than to keep Wen Zhong in Jiangcheng without the ability to protect himself."
As he said that, he waved his hand and interrupted the question they wanted to ask: "I know you are worried that there will be a mistake and that he will be held accountable by the court. But the key point is that the initiative to judge whether he has any faults is not with others. I am the commander of the three armies. Do you think I will blame Wen Zhong for some minor faults?"
After a word woke up the two of them, Wei Liang and Wen Ming both showed relief and a slightly ashamed smile: "The prince is considerate carefully, but we are a little short-sighted. Please forgive me."
"Haha, you are also for your friends and students, and Wen Zhong is also my friend. How could I blame you? Well, what I need to do now is to decide the policy of sending troops as soon as possible and to mobilize the troops from the north. The soldiers are very fast, but they cannot be delayed." As he said that, he looked somber, "Let's go, let's go to the Privy Council and discuss it with you."
I have to say that Sun Bi is really fast in the role, and he has already begun to plan for the Northern Expedition.
At the same time, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel's Office also began to be busy under the emperor's will. They wanted to jointly draft documents to seize Li Ling's love, and then send a quick horse to send this decision to Jiangcheng County, Hengzhou, Huaibei, so that he could return to Beijing as soon as possible to receive the order.
The military situation was like fire and the king's orders were like a mountain. The two major yamen changed the previous delay. In this way, they drafted and issued the relevant documents in just three days, and then passed them on to the Yima. In just ten days, the decree and transfer order had been sent to Jiangcheng County, and accompanied by the county magistrate Tian Bingwen, they were sent to Li's mansion.
The court's decision was indeed a bit beyond Li Ling's expectations. He thought that this time must have nothing to do with the war, but he did not expect that there would be such a turning point and he had to go north again. However, Yang Qingxiao, as his wife, was very dissatisfied. After the officials who sent the imperial edict left, he complained dissatisfiedly: "When they didn't want you, they just found a reason to take away all your official positions, and even arranged charges on you. Now that you are going to use it, they have issued an order to summon people, but they treat you as Li Lang!"
Feeling his wife's resentment, Li Ling smiled bitterly and held her hand: "In fact, not only do you have resentment in your heart, but I don't want to take on this job. I don't want to say the hard work or danger. If there is a mistake or something, I will bear the charges alone."
"Since that's the case, how good you pushed it just now, I just said that you want Ding You to be filial and not leave."
"But people are in the officialdom, they can't help themselves." Li Ling sighed again, "To put it bluntly, I just returned to my hometown, not really resigned from my post. Since I was a court official, I told me to obey it. Moreover, this time, the King of England needed me. Only when I was in charge of logistics can he have no worries.
"To put it bluntly, this Northern Expedition is more important to the safety of our Great Yue world. If we can win this time, we can at least protect the peace of the Central Plains for 30 years, and the people of the northern border will no longer have to worry. But if there is a mistake, it will be a disaster, and many innocent people will be buried under the iron hoof butcher knife of Gui Rong.
"If I refuse to take this responsibility, how can I feel at ease? And there will be no end to the collapse of the nest. Once the northern border is defeated and the Central Plains is in turmoil, we will be threatened here. So this time I am not only for the court, but also for ourselves, and for the sake of my generation, I will grow up safely. For both public and private, I have to follow the orders to go north!"
Yang Qingxiao looked at him with a smile. In fact, as a wife, how could she not understand what Li Ling was thinking? She said softly: "In fact, it's not just these reasons, but you also want to go to the north to experience this incident? You have been idle at home for more than half a year, right?"
"Uh... those who know me are Qingxiao..." Li Ling smiled awkwardly. Because the other party said it was indeed the truth. Perhaps because he had been experiencing various things over the years, Li Ling had long been used to busy life, whether it was fighting wits and courage with others or handling various government affairs, he felt very satisfied.
But in the past six months, he has no need to do anything. Although he was leisurely at the beginning, he was too bored after a long time. So in his heart, he actually yearned for returning to the court and doing something. After all, Li Ling is only in his thirties now, and he is the time when he is young and strong and wants to make achievements.
Yang Qingxiao smiled, her smile full of understanding, leaned her body in her husband's arms, and said softly: "Since you want to go too, then go. But there is one thing you must promise me, that is, you must ensure your safety. After all, there is no eyebrow on the battlefield."
"Well, I promise you!" Li Ling immediately said seriously, "But you don't have to worry too much. I will definitely not be able to go to the front line to take risks, and there should be no problem with safety."
That night, the couple chatted a lot again and said goodbye to each other.
The next day, Li Ling planned to go north after picking up all the items prepared by his family. However, when he walked out of the backyard, he saw that the familiar man had already been there early, just like every day before, which made him stunned: "Mo Yun, are you waiting for me?"
"Young master is going north again, I should follow you!"
"But you have just been newly married, so what you should do is to spend more time with your sister at home." Li Ling intends to keep him at home. After all, they got married before the New Year, and it has only been only two months since Li Moyun left for at least a year and a half.
Li Moyun shook his head: "I have already told Sister Le, and she also thinks I should go with you. For so many years, I have always been with you and keep you in good condition. Now we are a family, so naturally I can't let you take risks alone." When he talked about the three words "family", his face was a little embarrassed.
After a while of silence, Li Ling recognized his statement: "You are right, I shouldn't have left you at home. But there is one thing you said wrong."
“What is it?”
"We have been a family for a long time. Over the years, when did I treat you as an outsider?" Li Ling smiled and patted the other person on the shoulder, "Since you have decided to go with you, are your luggage ready?"
Li Moyun was stunned, and then showed a touching smile. Yes, the young master never regarded himself as an outsider and always trusted him very much, even if he had betrayed him...
He quickly calmed down again and smiled and said, "Sister Le has already cleaned up for me, so we can set off."
"Then let's go. I think the King of England should have almost reached the northern border. All reinforcements have begun to be mobilized. We have to speed up our departure!" Li Ling said, strode out.
At this time, the servants of the Li family had already been busy driving. A large and comfortable carriage was Li Ling's carriage, several large carriages were specially used for city defense to protect him from various books and luggage, as well as more than ten horses, and more than ten capable servants... Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
