The ambiguous attitude of the Son of Heaven also prompted the voices of the middle and lower rank officials to ask for war intensified, and in the eyes of many people, this was already equivalent to acquiescing in their mutuality, and they may just be waiting for a suitable opportunity. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 On the other hand, Qin Jin, the other protagonist at the center of the whirlpool of events, has also been low-key and does not argue with people, which makes people think that he is a sign of weakness.

The officials gathered outside the Taiji Palace continued day by day, and the scale was getting better day by day, and many people smelled the smell of political capital in it, and they turned from the original wait-and-see to actively join the army of war and protest.

More than a dozen forbidden soldiers escorted a eunuch in a scarlet robe into the Taiji Palace through a convenient gate in the west of Yong'an Gate. From Yong'an Gate to Fengtian Gate, the crowd was crowded with officials protesting and asking for war, and he had no choice but to take the convenient door where the palace servants usually enter and exit. However, this also allowed him to escape the siege of those middle- and lower-ranking officials, and it is not a good thing to be forced by these people to express his position, and it is too late to hide from the current situation, how can he rush to step in again?

However, the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop, but after entering the Taiji Palace, he found that the five or six officials who were the most noisy and happy had been led by the small yellow gate to the direction of the Son of Heaven's Palace.

Li Fuguo immediately slowed down, these radicals faced officials who did not participate in the war, and the name of surrender was enough to ruin their reputation, although he did not have too high requirements for reputation, but this kind of trouble could still be avoided.

"General Li in front?"

Li Fuguo gritted his teeth secretly, it seems that this knife will not be able to hide sooner or later. He was crowned a prison general by the Son of Heaven three days earlier, so many people called him a general. The position of general of the prison gate, Bian Lingcheng had concurrently held it at the beginning, although he felt a little awkward, but after all, he was an official, compared to those eunuchs who were simple domestic slaves, he had completely crossed the dragon gate and became one of the most powerful people around the Son of Heaven.

"Yes, it's me, the saint is finally willing to receive you?"

The leader, in his early twenties, is righteous and awe-inspiring, and he holds up his chest and says:

"Sincerity is open to the golden stone, not to mention that the subordinates and others are dedicated to the country, how can the Son of Heaven not be aware of it?"

Li Fuguo roughly looked at these people, the biggest official was the official in front of him, and the rest were basically eight or nine petty officials. These people are fledglings, they have not been officials for a few days, and they talk all day long, but they are like a long-term eunuch sea, and they are full of spirit when pointing out the country, which makes people think that they are the world's first heroes in the world.

Seeing that these people did not force themselves to express their stance several times before, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, maybe they were received by the Son of Heaven, and they all got carried away, and they didn't care about pulling themselves over again.

"Okay! You are loyal to the country, and the court will never treat you badly!"

But the leader waved his hand and said:

"The general's words are wrong, we are dedicated to the public, and there is no selfishness, even if there is no reward from the court, it will still be like this!"

"Really high righteousness, high righteousness!"

After Li Fuguo said a few more words that were not nutritious, he took his entourage and parted ways with these people. In fact, he also went to the temple of the Son of Heaven, but he walked with these people covered in fire, and he was uncomfortable, so he bypassed them and entered the temple of the Son of Heaven from another way.

However, as soon as the front foot stepped into the side door of the temple, and before he even turned the screen, he heard the excited voice of the Son of Heaven echoing in the hall.

"If you don't do what is in front of you in a down-to-earth manner, you run to me and say these unrealistic methods, do you want me to accompany you to mess around?"

The young officials led by indignant

"The minister has a heart of loyalty to the country, and the sun and the moon can be seen!"

Li Heng sneered again:

"I don't want to see your heart, I don't want to see anything to learn from the sun and the moon, I just want to see you come up with a real plan, otherwise you say that you want to fight the thief, do you really have to give up your current stability and rush out of the city?"

The official leader, apparently unwilling, argued:

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, the elite is not out, and the turtle is cowering in Chang'an City, how do you know that you can't win a big battle?"

Li Heng asked rhetorically:

"What if the war is lost? Who will be responsible, and who will make up for the consequences?"

"It's hard to say, if you lose, you will withdraw your troops, and if you win, you will take advantage of the victory to pursue. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, so why should Your Majesty be obsessed with the victory or defeat of one or two battles?"

Li Linfu, who was hiding behind the screen, almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard the official's words.

In this person's eyes, victory and defeat seem to exist independently, and this defeat is lost, and the next win is to win. But the reality is that the rebels will not give them a chance. If the battle is lost, it is likely to lead to the instability of the Chang'an army, and once the army's spirit is unstable, Chang'an City is very likely to be lost.

These fledgling scholars think that they know all the major events in the world, but how can they copy the art of war memorized in the books at this time?

Li Fuguo stopped, and hid behind the screen to listen to the arguments between the Son of Heaven and those low-rank officials.

This discovery also surprised him, he had always thought that Li Heng's silence was a tacit consent to the protest of some low-ranking officials, but now it seems that this is not the case, it turns out that the true mind of the Son of Heaven is still on the side of Qin Jin.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Fuguo also had the answer, his foundation is all in the Son of Heaven, if he doesn't follow the footsteps of the Son of Heaven, how can he have his own good fruits?

After the last plot to replace Guo Ziyi with Wuhu Huai'en, the Son of Heaven showed mercy to his subordinates, also because of his close relationship with the Son of Heaven. Li Mi's disposition is also similar to Li Fuguo's, just reprimanding a few words and sitting down. Only bitter Chen Xilie carried the black pot alone.

"Okay, I might as well make an agreement with you, if anyone advocates a war, I will entrust the military power with full authority and go out to fight Sun Xiaozhe!"

"This, the ministers don't have the talent of a soldier, so it may be possible to make suggestions, in case of defeat......"

Li Heng sneered repeatedly.

Besides, haven't you also said that victory and defeat are common things, so why should we be afraid of defeat?"

Li Fuguo behind the screen was surprised again, Li Heng has always been kind, he has almost never seen him squeeze people with words, today not only mocking, but also extremely mean tone, which really subverted the impression of the Son of Heaven in his mind.

Maybe he was forced by Li Heng to have no way out, and the leader gritted his teeth and asked:

"I don't know how much Your Majesty has allowed his ministers to marry?"

Lee Hyung-do:

"The soldiers and horses in the city are all what you call cowardly ghosts, I am afraid of getting in the way, so I will allow you to recruit loyal and brave people outside the palace, how about it?"

"Minister, minister commanded!"

"Okay, come here, go to the palace gate to spread the edict!"

The eunuch held the edict written by Li Heng in a hurry, rushed to the outside of the Fengtian Gate and read it, saying that the Son of Heaven was impressed by the loyalty and courage of the courtiers, and allowed them to join the army, and the generals were selected to fight on the same day. Announcing the edict in a dumb voice, he changed his emphasis again, and shouted to the nearly 1,000 middle- and lower-ranking officials outside the Taiji Palace:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty has sent someone to register for you......"

Sure enough, the three eunuchs came out with pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and they had to register and make a register for these people who were bent on fighting.

However, there was a faint commotion in the crowd.

"What does the edict of the Son of Heaven mean?"

"Looks like you're going to let us go out and die!"

"How can you say that you are going to die? Fighting with a traitor, isn't it just the right death?"

……

No matter how lively the discussion is, there are few people who dare to go up to register, the timid ones are already planning to leave, and the vast majority of people have a wait-and-see attitude.

A moment later, the representative elected by the officials walked out of the Taiji Palace, and his rhetoric was roughly equivalent to the content of the edict of the Son of Heaven.

"Everyone, please register here, the Son of Heaven is willing to allow me to wait for the military power, if someone can gather his children to join the army, it will be better!"

At this moment, the officials gathered outside the Taiji Palace swept away the previous enthusiasm, and only a few people really dared to come forward to register. Looking at the roster that had not been written on a single piece of paper, the chief official said angrily:

"Didn't you all say that you would like to fight to the death with the traitors? Now that I have asked for an opportunity from the Son of Heaven, why have you flinched one by one?"

After that, he looked around at the officials gathered outside the Fengtian Gate, his expression was greatly disappointed, and the expected enthusiastic scene did not appear, but put himself in an embarrassing dilemma.

Could it be that only a dozen people on the roster were sent out to die?

"You don't have to worry, the subordinates will go back to gather the clansmen, join the army, and fight the traitors to the death!"

An official in the crowd shouted and walked away. With the first one to take the lead, more officials said that they would go back to gather the clansmen and left one after another.

It was only half an hour before and after, and the originally crowded scene of thousands of people was suddenly deserted, and there were less than 100 people left.

This scene was quickly spread by the eunuchs in the palace, and for a while, this huge battle became a story of a group of eunuchs having fun.

However, Li Heng did not laugh at the ugly performances of these officials like the eunuchs. After all, he is the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, and since he is the Son of Heaven, he naturally hopes that his subordinates will all have the intention of death. Before the edict was issued, he also imagined that if those people really wanted to go out of the city to fight hard, they would definitely stop it.

It's a pity that the performance of these people disappointed Li Heng so much, and an edict was issued, which made seventy or eighty percent of the speculative officials show their original form.

"Sage, eat something, the porridge is almost cold. ”

Li Fuguo persuaded Li Heng, who had trouble sleeping.

"Alas, I sometimes wonder why those young officials are seventy or eighty percent unbearable?"

Li Fuguo also sighed.

"This is what the saint can't see, isn't there eighty or ninety percent of the rivers and rivers full of small fish and shrimp? Those who are lucky enough to be able to jump over the dragon gate are even more out of a thousand. Loyal ministers and rebellious ministers are also average, so the monarch should cherish them doubly!"

Li Heng's eyes were full of brilliance when he said this, Li Fuguo has been by his side for many years, and he has always acted roughly, so he didn't expect to say such a detailed truth!
