Chapter One Thousand and Thirty-Six

Taishi is the head of the Three Princes, the leader of Wenchen, and it is obvious that his words have already had an impact on the Holy Emperor. Although it is only the words "I know" and does not indicate an attitude, compared with the previous court struggle, this is already a great change and grace.

"Not good!"

In the main hall, the hearts of all the generals were heavy. With the weight of the Taishi, the Holy Emperor's mind obviously began to tilt towards Wenchen. The situation in Talas is urgent, and there have been several urgent letters asking for help, if a resolution cannot be passed, Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi will almost certainly be defeated.

These are the two Imperial Protectors!

In the main hall, seeing that the situation was not good, the Holy Emperor was about to make a decision, at this moment, a light wind swirled, and a stream of air poured in from the main hall, and at the same time, a voice was heard in everyone's ears:

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!"

Before the voice fell, a gentle breath, like the sun shining on the earth, suddenly appeared in everyone's perception. At the entrance of the main hall, the light flashed, and an old figure, with white beard and hair, wearing a white cloth robe, with a straight body, crossed the threshold and slowly walked in.

Wow, seeing that figure, the entire hall was suddenly in an uproar.

"Nine...... Nine Princes!"

I don't know who called out, all the generals were boiling, and many Wenchen were stunned, even in the main hall, the master who was just about to look back and sit down, was also shocked, and his heart sank suddenly.

Datang Jiugong!

Prosperous and virtuous!

The entire Tang Empire is highly respected and the most respected existence. Even though he has abdicated for decades and lived in seclusion in the Sifang Pavilion, he still has great influence and prestige both inside and outside the government and the opposition. In this regard, I am afraid that even the Taishi cannot be compared with it.

And the word "Nine Princes" is enough to represent everything.

"Father!"

Wang Gen stood on the main hall, his heart was shocked, he didn't expect his father to appear at this time. As soon as he thought about it, Jiugong gave him a look, and Wang Gan's feet froze, and he immediately stopped.

"Master, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Wang Jiuling walked on crutches, looked at the hall and smiled slightly, and then stepped up.

"Nine Princes!"

"Nine Princes!"

"Nine Princes!"

......

Looking at this old figure, in the main hall, all the ministers of civil and military affairs, whether they were Wendao or martial arts, bowed their heads respectfully, and withdrew to both sides, making way for the Nine Dukes. Even an existence like Taishi Ling Yan Wenzhang looked solemn, with a look of admiration on his face, bowed respectfully, and stepped aside.

As one of the founders of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, the influence of Jiugong in the court is unimaginable to everyone, and even many ministers in the court grew up listening to the legend of Jiugong.

Da!

Jiu Gong held a white wooden cane in his hand and walked slowly towards the main hall, and the crisp sound echoed throughout the Taihe Palace.

"Jiuling has seen Your Majesty!"

After walking out of a few zhang, Jiu Gong suddenly stopped, bowed slightly, and bowed respectfully towards the figure behind the bead curtain above the main hall.

"You're here too. ”

A voice came from the main hall, the voice was still high, majestic and majestic, but it was like a wrinkled pool of water, revealing a hint of mild taste.

The Holy Emperor and the Nine Princes, one monarch and one minister, the gentleman and the courtier, complement each other, and jointly create the Tang Dynasty for 30 years, an unprecedented prosperous era, which is passed down as a good story of the Tang Dynasty. Although the Nine Princes have resigned from the phase and retired for decades, they obviously still have extraordinary weight in the hearts of the government and the opposition and the Holy Emperor.

On the other side, Taishi's heart sank, although the Nine Dukes and the Holy Emperor only said a simple word, but the friendship between the monarch and the minister revealed in it made Taishi's eyelids jump wildly.

"Jiuling, this time it's for Lingsun?"

Taishi got straight to the point, and his eyes were extremely sharp.

"Yes and no. ”

Jiugong smiled and said calmly.

"In the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, all relevant personnel, including relatives, are recused. Jiuling won't know this. ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the only one who can call the word "Jiuling" is the Taishi who is the leader of the civil ministers. Both of them are veterans of the two dynasties, and they are also old.

"External actions do not avoid hatred, and internal actions do not avoid relatives. ”

Jiugong smiled slightly.

"However, Wang Chong is your own grandson!"

Taishi's eyes were sharp, and he looked at Jiu Gongdao.

"Hehe, Zhong Mi is still the same as back then, nothing has changed. ”

Jiugong smiled indifferently, like a spring breeze, turning the Taishi's attack into invisible. Taishi is highly respected, even old ministers and important ministers like Jiang Yuanrang and Yan Wenzhang, and even royal princes like King Song and King Qi, they have to be respectful and respectful in front of Taishi, and those who can call out the word Taishi in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are afraid that there will be no one except Jiugong.

"Although the matter of Talas was caused by my stubborn grandson, what was involved was the foundation of the court's 'war' and 'peace', so although Wang Chong was my grandson, he did not shy away from it. ”

Jiugong stretched out his crutches and continued to walk forward.

Above the court, everyone's eyes looked over one after another, focusing on Jiugong. Jiugong walked very slowly, but very steadily, looking at the figure, everyone had a strange sense of harmony in their hearts, just like spring rain moisturizing things, silently, and the whole world was one.

Above the main hall, Taishi's face had already turned extremely blue. This is not an ordinary court dispute, but it involves the root of the civil and military dispute, and at this time, the last thing he wants to see is Wang Jiuling.

"Just now, Jiuling also heard the words of the Taishi, this time Jiuling made an exception to leave the Sifang Pavilion and set foot in the imperial court, just want to say one thing, 'If you seek peace by war, you will survive, and if you seek peace with peace, you will die'. Therefore, back then, when the old minister was the prime minister, the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates Koubian, although they could choose peace talks, the old minister still led the army to the Turkic steppes without hesitation and defeated the Turks. It was precisely because of this battle that peace was achieved for more than ten years, and the Turks did not dare to easily conquer the border. ”

"The Great Cannibal and the Empire have never had anything to do with each other, if they seek peace without fighting, it will inevitably make the other party feel sluggish, underestimate the Tang Dynasty, and the future wars may be endless, so for the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty and the people of the world, the old minister thinks that it is the best policy to rush to the aid of Talas as soon as possible. ”

After saying the last sentence, Jiu Gong straightened up, his sleeves were slightly brushed, and he saluted respectfully.

The needle drop on the hall can be heard, the nine dukes are highly respected, famous all over the world, is the virtuous face of the Tang Dynasty, the founder of the prosperous era, with his identity, to say this, is a real sound, with extraordinary weight. Because this is not only his point of view in the Talas incident, but also the governance experience that he has spoken for decades, which no one can deny.

To deny the Nine Princes is to deny the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and the current peace.

For a while, the entire hall was extremely silent, and everyone had a thoughtful look on their faces, even Yan Wenzhang, Zheng Chengli, Zhou Taiqin and others were silent and thoughtful.

"Great. ”

Under the pillars, King Song breathed a long sigh of relief. Jiugong would actually leave the Sifang Pavilion and arrive at this time, even he didn't expect it. Taishi is an old minister of the two dynasties, and his status is extremely heavy, and even he, the prince, is not enough to speak in front of the Taishi. If it weren't for Jiugong, I'm afraid that the matter of Talas would be settled, and the troops would really be withdrawn.

Datang's operation in the Western Regions will be completely destroyed. The tripartite alliance of Great Food, Uszang, and Western Turks will be ruined in the past, and the disasters will be endless.

"Damn old thing, bad for me!"

At this time, the most annoyed person was King Qi, who gritted his teeth and looked extremely resentful. originally thought that with the help of Wenchen's power this time, he could completely suppress the King of Song and the Wang family, but he didn't expect that a Nine Dukes would immediately make him fail. And the Taishi Zhan Zhongmian in the main hall had an extremely ugly face.

"Jiuling, don't forget, you're a Wenchen!!"

Zhan Zhongmi finally couldn't help but remind.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, the most serious civil and military dispute in history, the final turning point did not come from martial arts, but from Wendao, which Zhan Zhongmiao never expected.

"Hehe, after so many years, when I was at the teacher's place, Zhong Mi was like this, why still don't I understand, and still stick to the views of civil and military? In Jiuling's heart, there is no difference between civil and military, only the unity of family and country. Everything is based on the Tang Dynasty, Jiangshan Sheji, and the people of Limin, and the matter of Talas, only by seeking war can peace be made, and if peace is sought, there is only war. This is also the reason why Jiuling supports the Northwest Rush!"

Speaking of the last sentence, Jiugong's voice was loud, and his expression slowly became serious.

"External actions do not avoid hatred, internal actions do not avoid relatives", there is no distinction between civil and military in the heart, everything is important to the family and the country, this is the Nine Princes!

- It's easy to say, but how many people can do it?

"Buzz!"

As soon as Jiugong's voice fell, there was a buzz in the court. The ministers looked at each other and discussed. Everyone only knew that Jiugong and Taishi belonged to the same Wendao, but listening to Jiugong's meaning, the two were still classmates back then, and this relationship made everyone stunned.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is against it! Although the country is big, the belligerent will die! The Tang Dynasty has been fighting for many years, and it has already cost a huge amount of national money, so it is not appropriate to start a border provocation and start a war with Dashi!"

Taishi said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the old lady!"

At this moment, a sonorous voice sounded. Next to the Panlong Pillar, King Qi's face turned cold, and he suddenly walked out and echoed in a loud voice. The weight of Jiugong's speech in the court was too heavy, and King Qi was worried that if he didn't speak now, there would be no chance in the future.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

......

With the Taishi and the King of Qi opening, among the Wenchen, the determined anti-war faction spoke again, but the number was far less than before. It was clear that the prestige and influence of the Nine Princes in the court came into play.
