Volume 3 The Storm Rises Chapter 210 Retreat is Advance

Xiao Yuanzi, who was standing in the middle of the steps, looked helplessly at Liu An on the dragon chair, but he was so loud that his voice was almost hoarse, but the courtiers in the hall completely ignored him, still arguing with themselves, completely forgetting that he was in the middle of a serious court meeting.

Liu An just smiled faintly at Xiao Yuanzi's eyes that he had sent over for help, shook his head lightly and motioned Xiao Yuanzi to ignore it, and then picked up the fragrant tea on the dragon case and savored it carefully.

Since he had just used his supreme majesty to forcibly pass the establishment of the standing army, Liu An also chose to turn a blind eye to the quarrel between the ministers at this time.

Although the main hall was extremely noisy, there were still a few people who just stood quietly in their own places, and did not participate in the quarrels of the surrounding ministers.

Lin Jinmin, the wind theater, hid his hands in his sleeves, slowly paced to Prime Minister Shang Peng's side, and said with a smile: "Lord Shang, everyone is sparing no effort to compete for the right to speak in the standing army, but the two Xiangye are light-hearted, it seems that the two Xiangye are already confident." โ€

Hearing Lin Jinmin's voice, Shang Peng turned his body slightly, looked at Li Linqian who was standing opposite him, and said quietly: "Lord Lin, aren't you the same?"

Shang Peng neither denied nor admitted Lin Jinmin's statement, but kicked the ball back to Lin Jinmin's side, and this Tai Chi kung fu was simply easy for Shang Peng, who had been invading the temple for decades.

Lin Jinmin had expected Shang Peng's answer, so he said with a smile: "Hehe, Feng Cinema supervises important cases in the world, as long as there is that injustice, there is my Feng Cinema." โ€

The corners of Shang Peng's eyes jumped slightly, and he secretly wondered what Lin Jinmin's intention was when he said this? Could it be that the Wind Cinema was eyeing him? This is impossible, he is the head of the ministers, even if it is the Wind Cinema, without the emperor's approval, he does not dare to move himself easily, since the Wind Cinema can't move himself, then what does Lin Jinmin mean by his words?

Injustice?

Shang Peng glanced at Lin Jinmin, who was smiling, and instantly figured out Lin Jinmin's intention to talk to him at this time, it seems that Feng Cinema is targeting his eldest brother Shang Kun, no, to be precise, he is targeting his nephew Shang Bin, because the establishment of the standing army is because of the horse thieves in Dongming City, and Dongming City is not only a horse thief, but also the case of the emperor's family and the Queen Mother's party uniting to impeach Yin Liaocheng of Dongmingcheng Mansion, and the cause of the case is that the Queen Mother's party pinched Shang Bin's handle, causing Shang Kun to turn to himselfใ€‚

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Wind Cinema figured out the ins and outs of Liao Cheng's case, and it seems that the power of Wind Cinema is really not to be underestimated.

After thinking about the key to the matter, Lin Jinmin's intentions were also obvious, it seemed that Lin Jinmin wanted Shang Peng to help him fight for his position in the standing army.

Looking at Li Linqian on the opposite side with a puzzled look at him, Shang Peng smiled and said: "The wind theater regards the world as the public, and it is the important weapon of my country. โ€

Lin Jinmin laughed, stretched out his hands hidden in his sleeves, and clasped his fists at Shang Peng and said: "It is really an honor for the lower officials to be looked at by Xiang Ye, and please rest assured that Xiang Ye will handle the case impartially, live up to the emperor's trust, and live up to the expectations of the people of Dawn." โ€

Shang Peng nodded, didn't say anything more, glanced deeply at Li Linqian opposite, and then returned to the state of looking at his nose and nose, and stood quietly in place, deaf to the noisy voices behind him.

Lin Jinmin got Shang Peng's letter, and didn't say anything more, hugged his fist at Li Linqian on the opposite side, and then turned back to his own position, continuing to enjoy the various quarrels in the hall.

Seeing Shang Peng and Lin Jinmin talking and laughing, Li Linqian always had a bad feeling in his heart at this time, when did the Wind Cinema and the Emperor's first family get so close? You must know that the Wind Cinema has always been independent of the factions, and no one can intervene, but today Lin Jinmin took the initiative to talk to Shang Peng, what are the ulterior things in this?

Li Linqian's head was a little big at this time, and today's court meeting was really a bit unexpected, and after a few days of discussion, he had already compromised, because he knew that Liu An had already made up his mind to set up a standing army, and no matter how much he obstructed, it would only have the opposite effect.

However, since the Standing Army is to be set up, it will certainly not be possible to escape the personnel arrangements at all levels, and what if all positions in the Standing Army are occupied by the members of the Empress Dowager and her party? The Standing Army will become a sharp weapon in the hands of the Empress Dowager and her party, just like the Snow Leopard Army and the City Defense Army, so all the discussions in recent days have been on the issue of the selection of candidates for various positions in the Standing Army, and all parties have reached a tacit understanding on the establishment of the Standing Army.

But after a few days of discussion, the two sides have been arguing about the candidates for each position, so the establishment of the standing army has been shelved, I didn't expect that today's court meeting opened, Liu An did not disclose a little news in advance, he announced the holy decree to establish a standing army, and asked today's court meeting to determine candidates at all levels, which completely caught Li Linqian off guard, it seems that the bargaining in the past few days has completely angered the emperor of Dacheng, and today's court meeting is a dismount given by Liu An.

Seeing that the hall was still very noisy, Li Linqian knew that this was also Liu An's deliberate doing, if these people were allowed to continue to argue so disregarding the system, in the end, Liu An would definitely show the majesty that belonged to the emperor alone, and decide on the question of the selection of the standing army, and at that time, they would not lose a star and a half, but the entire army would be wiped out.

Li Linqian cleared his throat, stepped to the center, hugged his fist towards Liu An, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." โ€

Li Linqian shouted almost with all his might, and the voice echoed in the huge hall, and instantly covered those noisy voices, and the ministers saw that Li Linqian had been listed, and the officials belonging to the Queen Mother's party also closed their mouths one after another, and the officials of the emperor's family obediently lowered their heads after losing the object of argument, returned to their positions and stood up, and no longer made their own remarks.

The hall that was originally like a vegetable market was completely calmed by Li Linqian's voice, Xiao Yuanzi, who was standing in the middle of the steps, glanced at the ministers in the hall very dissatisfied, and finally fell on Li Linqian in the center, shook off the Buddha dust, and said in a sharp voice: "Master Li has something to say, please come." โ€

Li Linqian stood up straight, glanced at the ministers, and said to Liu An: "Your Majesty, since the Standing Army is patrolling the world on behalf of the Son of Heaven, then the ministers think that the commander of the Standing Army should be served by the Emperor, and no one else has this qualification. โ€

"Li Aiqing means to let me personally go out on patrol, so who will I hand over this imperial city to sit in?"

Liu An put down the teacup in his hand, stretched out his hand to open the crown that covered his holy face, and stared at Li Linqian with bright eyes, although there was a smile on his face, his voice sounded a little cold.

Hearing the threat in Liu An's words, Li Linqian hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Back to the emperor, the minister didn't mean that. โ€

Liu An put down his crown, leaned his back on the dragon chair, and said to Li Linqian: "Then what do you want, and tell me what to hear." โ€

Li Linqian gritted his teeth, although he knew that what he said next might cause Liu An's dissatisfaction, but he had to say it, so he also let it go, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the commander of the standing army should be served by the emperor, and then appoint two deputy marshals to take charge of the standing army for the emperor and patrol the world." โ€

Liu An glanced at Li Linqian deeply and muttered, "Two deputy marshals?"

Not only Liu An was muttering to himself, but also the ministers below who had quieted down, after hearing Li Linqian's proposal, there was also a buzzing discussion, obviously Li Linqian's plan was something they hadn't thought of before.

Wang Liping, the secretary of the military department, crossed the crowd to the center, knelt behind Li Linqian and said to Liu An: "Your Majesty, what Lord Li said is very true, the emperor himself is the commander, and then two deputy marshals are appointed to patrol the world on behalf of the emperor, which can show the emperor's attention to the standing army, and it can also play a role in warning the world. โ€

Wu Kuo, the head of the household department, also stood tall, knelt next to Wang Liping, and said loudly: "The minister seconded the proposal." โ€

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

In the main hall, a large number of courtiers knelt down at once, and a continuous voice sounded, all of which were seconding Li Linqian's proposal, and it was obvious that Li Linqian's proposal had been approved by them.

Needless to say, the ministers kneeling on the ground to second the proposal are all officials of the Queen Mother's party, in fact, according to the original idea, the standing army set up a commander-in-chief, a deputy marshal, for the position of the commander-in-chief, the two factions can be said to have done their best, has been fighting for each other, but since the standing army was proposed by the emperor, of course, the position of the commander cannot be handed over to the Queen Mother's party.

However, at this time, Li Linqian suddenly proposed that Liu An should be appointed as the commander of the standing army, and then set up two deputy marshals, which is not bad for a move to retreat, although the nominal commander is the emperor, but everyone understands that it is just a name, the emperor is impossible to command the standing army, and the power of the commander is divided into two, falling on the two deputy marshals, so that the two deputy marshals who have no subordinate relationship will hinder each other, and try their best to win more voice for the queen mother's party.
