Chapter 569: The Squire's Thoughts
The Son of Heaven was surprisingly quiet in the palace, only the sound of heavy and rapid breathing was circulating repeatedly, Li Fuguo narrowed his eyes, and observed Li Mi who was speaking falsely under a gap, he didn't know what this servant who was also a teacher and friend of the Son of Heaven wanted, if he still had to be restrained at a critical moment, wouldn't he be afraid that the court's counterattack would fall short?
This idea made him even doubt Li Mi's personality, in the past, although Li Mi suppressed him and Qin Jin, but his original intention was still for the court, but his political views were different. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info what he said today really shocked him, at this time, Qin Jin and Li Si can be caught between inside and outside the industry, and then Sun Xiaozhe has the possibility of a complete collapse, but Li Mi made such a suggestion.
However, before he understood Li Yu's fundamental purpose, Li Fuguo would not speak at will, and with the experience of Bian Lingcheng, Cheng Yuanzhen and others, he had learned to be cautious, and he would never easily reveal his true views without perfect certainty.
Including Li Heng, they were all confused by Li Mi's suggestion. I saw that the excitement of the Tang Dynasty gradually calmed down, and even a little low. Li Mi's opposition made him quite frustrated, and in the end, his important ministers still pulled the strings for the sake of political opinions, especially Li Mi was the person he respected the most, and he couldn't bear to criticize him under any circumstances.
However, Li Mi's urgent advice today really puzzled him, and he needed a reasonable explanation, otherwise he would never be able to pretend not to see it anymore.
Gradually, Li Heng's gaze became cold and frustrating.
"Sir, why do you say that?"
"Your Majesty, Li Siye's 100,000 horses may sound like strong soldiers, but in fact, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, dragging many homeless people, old and weak, how can you expect them to fight a tough battle? Rather than this, it is better to wait and deter so that the rebels do not dare to act rashly. ”
After listening to Li Yu's words, Li Heng didn't say anything for a long time, his expression was still cold, but he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.
Li Fuguo looked at Li Heng, the son of heaven, and then looked at Li Mi, who was as usual with a pale face, and suddenly felt that the development of today's situation exceeded his expectations, and Li Mi's sudden arrival made this person seize the opportunity in front of Qin Jin, he was afraid that Li Heng would be persuaded by Li Mi and make a decision under impulse, so he said without thinking:
"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks, please go to the palace and ask for advice!"
Li Heng's face became even more gloomy, and after listening to Li Fuguo's suggestion, he nodded lightly and agreed.
When Qin Jin entered the palace, it was already half an hour later, Li Heng sat quietly on the hall for half an hour, Li Fuguo felt that his legs that had been standing were numb, he had rarely stood for such a long time in a row, but today's events must not let the scheming Li Mi have the upper hand, otherwise once Qin Jin loses power, let Li Mi and others monopolize the coquettishness, where can they still have a way to live as eunuchs?
With this kind of thought, Li Fuguo decided to step in, and he couldn't let this person succeed no matter what.
"Minister Qin Jin is safe to see His Majesty the Emperor!"
After the salute was completed, Li Heng did not rush into the previous topic, but first asked about yesterday's battle and today's preparations.
Qin Jin concisely explained yesterday's results and today's response measures.
After Li Heng heard this, his face was expressionless, as if he was still immersed in the irritability interrupted by Li Mi.
"Qin Qing thinks, will the Sun Thief rebels attack today as they did yesterday?"
Qin Jin thought about it and shook his head again.
"It's hard to say for sure, but after all, I've prepared for the worst, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!"
This kind of answer was very different from his previous style, and even Li Fuguo pinched a sweat for Qin Jin, secretly anxious in his heart, how could he say that? If he couldn't give confidence to the Son of Heaven, wouldn't he let Li Mi's old puppet succeed? However, Li Fuguo still didn't rush to speak, but still waited to see Qin Jin's true thoughts.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Qin Jin's words, Li Heng, the Son of Heaven, showed a smile.
"Qin Qing tried his best to deal with it, I was very relieved, and yesterday Li Siye, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, arrived twenty miles west of Chang'an......"
Speaking of the news of Li Siye's arrival, Li Heng deliberately paused for a while, as if he was giving Qin Jin a chance to think. In fact, where does Qin Jin need to think about it in the palace, he had already received the news of Li Siye's arrival last night, and immediately discussed with Guo Ziyi how to deal with it.
Early this morning, the messenger of the Son of Heaven summoned him, and Qin Jin had already guessed that it must be to consult Li Siye's response after he arrived.
It's just that after arriving at the Son of Heaven's Palace, Qin Jin was still a little surprised, and he didn't expect Li Yu's ears and eyes to be so well-informed, and he even came to the Son of Heaven one step ahead of him. I just don't know what this person said in front of the Son of Heaven!
Secretly speculating in his heart, Qin Jin suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the hall today was a little different from usual, so he also calmed down, waiting for the Son of Heaven to make a statement first.
Li Heng paused for a while, and seeing that Qin Jin didn't speak or ask questions, he sighed lightly and continued:
"What Li Qing said, Li Siye's 100,000-strong army is strong and middle-class, all of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, and should not act rashly. I don't know what Qin Qing thinks?"
Getting straight to the point is Li Heng's consistent style of deliberation, which is very different from his father, and Qin Jin also appreciates it.
Hearing Li Heng say this, Qin Jin secretly said that this was indeed the case, Li Mi came first, and he would inevitably interfere more in Li Siye's march, but this suggestion was still reliable. At least half of the displaced people gathered by Li Siye should be old, weak, sick and disabled. On the surface, it is claimed to be an army of 100,000, but in fact, it can fight, and 30,000 people who dare to fight is already the limit.
However, if it is said that these people brought by Li Siye are vulnerable, they also look down on this person too much.
"The minister has no plan yet!"
After that, Qin Jin was silent.
Previously, he had already agreed with Li Heng that no one else could hinder the internal and external military affairs, so that he could be consistent.
Of course, Qin Jin was expressing his dissatisfaction and making a silent protest to Li Heng.
Li Hengqi is a bit of a man, and his shortcomings are also a headache, that is, his indecision. Once faced with a dilemma, it can give people a sense of capriciousness.
Seeing that Qin Jin returned the color, Li Heng's expression was a little embarrassed, and he smiled dryly before saying:
"I, I also asked Qin Qing's opinion!"
Qin Jin didn't buy Li Heng's pretending to be confused at all, and replied bluntly:
"If Your Majesty has an edict, the ministers will obey it!"
At this time, Li Fuguo suddenly jumped out and hurriedly stopped:
"Your Majesty, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, if, if the Imperial Doctor can't make a decision on the spot, in case, in case, in case ......"
In case of any future, even if Li Fuguo doesn't say it clearly, everyone present will understand.
Saying this is ostensibly admonishing, but in fact it is implying that Li Heng can only choose one of the two at this moment, listen to Li Mi or listen to Qin Jin. Qin and Jin have been in charge of the battle situation, and Li Mi is just empty talk, who to listen to, this decision is not difficult to make.
To tell the truth, Qin Jin was a little angry, at such a moment, Li Heng was still his mother-in-law, and Li Yu's words could make him hesitate. If one entrusts oneself with the affairs of the military state, one should believe in one's own abilities, but there is something to be clear and straightforward, that is, what good is it to fiddle with such careful thinking in war?
The worst outcome can only be to make the monarch suspicious!
Perhaps it was Li Fuguo's words that played a role, and Li Heng's face suddenly turned red, as if he realized what his problem was today.
Suddenly, I saw this Tang Dynasty emperor standing up and facing Qin Jin's long body.
"It's me who broke the contract, please accept my worship!"
This sudden change made Qin Jin a little at a loss, and it was unheard of for the Son of Heaven to treat his courtiers with great courtesy. But he immediately regained his composure, and Li Heng was able to say this, that is, he realized the inappropriateness of what he had done before, and since he lowered his posture like this, of course he could not continue to act as a courtier, so he immediately got up and bowed back.
"Your Majesty has tormented the minister! and Li Siye should cooperate with the outside, the minister has already made a plan, and he entered the palace today to meet him, and he also reported this matter!"
The monarch and the wicked replied, not to mention Li Yu's paper tiger. Li Fuguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Mi with some schadenfreude, seeing that Li Mi's face was pale and the corners of his mouth were constantly twitching, he couldn't help but want to laugh. But because in front of the Son of Heaven, if he laughed, it would be a loss of honor in front of the king, so he had to hold back and laugh in his stomach.
Li Mi, Li Mi, you rushed here in a hurry to intervene, and in the end you didn't bring humiliation on yourself?
Qin Jin came one by one, and Li Heng nodded frequently when he listened, and praised a few words from time to time, as if he had completely forgotten that he had just agreed with Li Yu's suggestion.
This made Li Mi even more embarrassed, originally this was a great opportunity to give Qin Jin a blow, and he didn't want to be stirred up by a few words of slander from Li Fuguo, a eunuch.
However, after all, Li Mi is not a person who does not know the height of his eyebrows, seeing that the Son of Heaven has condescended to apologize to Qin Jin, he has already expressed his attitude, and in the matter of internal and external use of troops, only Qin Jin's opinion is counted.
Although he was discouraged and resentful in his heart, he also felt that today's events were not all without gain, and let the Son of Heaven apologize, is this not the pride of being a courtier? Tianyu must first make him crazy if he makes it perish, it is better to let Qin Jin expose all his arrogant side, so that the Son of Heaven can recognize the face of this person, and he can wake up from his stupor as soon as possible.
With this thought, Li Yu's mentality calmed down, but seeing Qin Jin and Li Heng Junchen calmly answering each other, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and gurgle.
