After sending off Ling Shuang, Tang Yin originally planned to return to the Feng Country, but at this time, Le Tian brought over a report on Mo Country.
It was located in the northern part of the Zeping County, which was near the border of the Mo Country and the Mo Country. There was a forward fort which was arranged with Mo Army. The function of this fortress was not to defend against New Mo Country, but to provide early warning.
After looking through the report, Tang Yin immediately decided to delay his departure for the next day.
Right now, the spirit energy in his body was empty, and he desperately needed to recover. And this Mo Country Fortress, they did not have a lot of soldiers, and coincidentally were not far from the Cangping, so it was suitable for him to use to make up for the spirit energy.
That night, Tang Yin led Cheng Jin on his horse to leave the city, leaving the Cangping, and stealthily approached the fortress of the Mo Army. The two of them left in the middle of the night. It was not even five o'clock when they returned, and they did not disturb anyone.
Until the afternoon of the second day, when the Mo Army side finally discovered that an accident had occurred in a fortress that was near the capital of New Mo Country, and over five hundred soldiers inside had actually all died in a bizarre manner overnight.
There were broken limbs everywhere in the stronghold, but most of the soldiers had died in their living quarters. In their dreams, someone had foolishly wiped their necks.
The entire stronghold was filled with corpses, but it was not bloody, because there were no traces of blood, but it was precisely because of this that it seemed eerie and terrifying, as if these five hundred soldiers had all their blood sucked dry by a monster.
The New Mo Country side was not aware of this matter, and the Mo Country side was even less likely to spread it. However, the nervous atmosphere spread throughout the borders of the Mo Country side. It was hard to imagine that a fortress with over five hundred people guarding it could have such a tragic scene without anyone noticing. It was too late to light a firework as a warning. All the other strongholds on the border were in danger. They were afraid that the same kind of bad luck would fall upon their own heads.
On the second day, Tang Yin, who was in high spirits, embarked on his journey back to his country. When he left the Cangping, the rulers and ministers of the New Mo Country all left the city to send him off.
Following Tang Yin were the Directly Subordinate Army s, Pingyuan Army s, Huwei Army s, and Feilong Army s.
After this war, the losses of the four armies were very serious. When the combined forces reached a single location, there were only two hundred thousand soldiers left. Fortunately for the Feng Country, the war had already ended and the four armies could properly rest and recover after returning to their countries.
One month later, Yan City.
Tang Yin's successful return of his Feng Army was naturally welcomed by the people of Feng Country in the capital. In fact, to Tang Yin, this battle was not considered a victory, as Feng Country could not swallow Mo Country in one go, but to the other Windmen, this battle was already considered a complete victory. Not only did it save the precarious situation of the Yu Country, it also separated them into five counties, greatly weakening their power, and with these five counties as a buffer, it was very difficult for Mo Country to reach the local Feng Country.
The first was absolute support, believing that Tang Yin was a hero who allowed the Feng Country to revive and rise to prominence. The other voice held an opposing attitude, believing that Tang Yin was a militant who fought in all directions, resulting in the number of young and strong people in Feng Country to decline. Currently, in all of the counties and counties, the number of adult females in the Feng Country had already surpassed the number of adult males, and if the battle carried on, the robust age of the Feng Country would soon end, and this was the sign of the passing of a nation.
After meeting the ministers of the imperial government and Imperial Court, Tang Yin sat in the semi-open carriage and headed back to the Duke Palaces.
In the great hall of the Duke Palaces, Tang Yin's three wives, Wu Mei, and Yuan Qianyi had already been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that his own wife had come, Tang Yin revealed a smile on his face as he quickly walked forward. Not waiting for them to greet him, he first took out the gifts he brought from the Mo Country and presented them one by one.
His gifts were all carefully chosen according to the three women's preferences. His gifts were treasured swords obtained from Mo Country, precious and rare jewellery given to Fan Min and books stored in Mo Country.
He understood the characteristics of the three wives very well. Wu Mei was good at fighting, Yuan Qianyi liked writing and writing, Fan Min liked money the most. The three girls were delighted by his gifts, and they enjoyed their husband's kindness.
Other than these gifts, Tang Yin also had his subordinates take out a portion of the gold, silver and jewelry they had seized during the war and pack them into three boxes, which he brought over to Wu Mei, Fan Min and Yuan Qianyi's residence. He had never been a stingy person, especially towards his own woman.
After changing clothes, Tang Yin was dressed in casual attire as he chatted with the three of them over tea and refreshments in the garden of the courtyard. They were not talking about the bloody war, but rather, they were talking about some interesting and new things he had seen at Mo Country.
Before he finished his sentence, a guard hastily ran over to pay his respects and said, "Your Majesty, the palace has already sent someone to urge him. They want Your Majesty to enter the palace immediately."
Logically speaking, the first thing Tang Yin should do when he returned to the capital was to go to the Imperial Palace to meet the Son of Heaven and talk about the situation and results of this war against Feng Mo. After entering the Yan City, he immediately rushed back home to reunite with his three wives. Now, not only was the Son of Heaven waiting for him in the main hall of the Imperial Palace, but all the ministers of the Imperial Court were present as well. Not a single one was missing, and they were all waiting for him.
After hearing the guard's report, Tang Yin smiled lightly and said, "There's no rush! Let them continue to wait! "
"Rites are not above favors! The King had just returned to the capital, so why couldn't she rest in the Mansion for a while? Go and tell the people of the Imperial Palace that the King is not going to visit Her Majesty today. " Wu Mei looked at the guard who came to report and protested coquettishly.
The guard hastily cupped his hands and said, "Yes! "Madam!" Yuan Qianyi raised her hand to stop him. She first shook her head towards Wu Mei, indicating that she should not be impulsive, and then said to Tang Yin: "The etiquette cannot be broken.
Tang Yin laughed, then said indifferently: "Qian Yi, you're overthinking things. Let alone that no one dares to say anything, even if someone is dissatisfied with me, what can they do?" As he spoke, he waved to the guards and said, "Do as Madam Le Ping (Wu Mei) says!"
"Yes sir!" The guard did not dare to delay any longer and left as instructed.
Yuan Qianyi knew that the current Tang Yin did not put the so called Tian Zi and Huang Ting in his eyes at all, but he could think like this in his heart. On the surface, he should still be able to pass through.
She frowned and whispered, "Husband ?"1
Tang Yin patted her hand, and said with a smile: "I'm really a little tired, I don't want to see those mediocre people from the imperial courts anymore."
Hearing him say that, Yuan Qianyi did not have any further words to say, and sighed secretly in her heart.
Tang Yin was too lazy to go to the palace, he was only tired on one side, but it was true that he was feeling uncomfortable all over.
The wounds on his body were all scarred, but they were all extremely itchy. However, there was no antipruritic drug on his body, making him feel extremely upset. Unfortunately, he did not have the time to rest before the two prime ministers, Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen, came looking for him.
Having stayed away from the Sovereign King for so long, there was really not much work left to do on the backlog of Feng Country. This was all thanks to Shangguan Yuanji's presence.
, Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhen went to the study room, and after they sat down, he yawned and asked: "I say, prime ministers, is it really so urgent that we have to settle this matter today, and can't we change it to tomorrow?"
Hearing that, 'crafty' took a step back, and replied: "Great King, this humble subject's affairs are not urgent, but Prime Minister Qiu seems to be very urgent, this humble subject has borrowed the power of the Prime Minister Qiu."
Tang Yin laughed, then raised his head and said: "Alright, then let's first talk about how you aren't in a hurry!"
Shangguan Yuanji handed over a report to Tang Yin, and said: "Great King, this is the law reform proposed by this humble subject."
Tang Yin curiously took it, unfurled it and looked, then muttered: "Three examinations?"
"Yes!" Your Majesty, with the constant fighting in our country, the population has been declining. This makes this humble subject understand one thing, no matter when, people are always the most useful. " Shangguan Yuanji said, "Every year, there are no less than ten thousand cases related to the death penalty in our country, and no less than a hundred cases involving the extermination of the Nine Clans. Therefore, this subject specially proposes to carry out a three-way investigation and trial system for these two types of cases, to ensure that there are no mistakes in the cases and to prevent wrongdoing as much as possible."
"Prime Minister Shangguan means that after we finish investigating the case, we should examine the process of the investigation. Then, we should conduct a review and re-examine the case. Finally, we should investigate and re-try the case?" Qiu Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked.
Shangguan Yuanji nodded his head, and said: "Although there are still differences, but it's more or less like that."
Without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, Qiu Zhen shook his head and asked: "How much manpower does it take to conduct three examinations, and how long will it take?"
Shangguan Yuanji said with a stern face: "No matter how much manpower we spend on the death penalty and on the extermination of the nine clans, it is worth it. Once someone dies, they will not be resurrected. As for the delay, it would be long, that's what I wanted, and the longer the delay, the more likely it would be to find new clues, new suspicions, and thus overturn the whole case. We should not enforce the decree with the mindset of executing the prisoner as soon as possible, but with the mentality of saving one or more lives as much as possible. "
Qiu Zhen blinked his eyes, laughed bitterly while shaking his head, and said: "Heavy Grimoire should be used in this chaotic world! It is difficult for me to understand Prime Minister Shangguan's suggestion, and I am also unable to agree with it. "
The more Tang Yin listened, the more his head hurt. According to Shangguan Yuanji's theory, it was equivalent to giving a proper excuse to a prisoner who was about to die, wouldn't this just allow people to go against the rules? This sort of thing was impossible to be determined even in modern times.
After a moment of silence, he asked, "Has there really been a very serious problem with our population?"
Regarding this, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji's attitudes towards him were the same. Both of them nodded and spoke in unison: "Yes, King!"
