Moon City Volume Moon City Volume Chapter 16 Expedition

"The prime minister, but it doesn't hurt to say. Yu Yuan said, as soon as Yu Yuan's words fell, everyone in the court, including Yu Hao, was meticulously waiting for the old prime minister's next words. Because Yu Yuan was the eldest son and the first prince to serve as an auxiliary state, he had great respect for this prime minister; Yu Hao was a little afraid because Feng Lan was his grandfather; and Yu Su was a little trembling because he was participating in politics for the first time.

Among the rest of the hundred officials, it is because of the qualifications and ability of this prime minister that they can convince the public, even Cao Zhan and Zhang Yutai, who are political enemies of Feng Lan, also respect this old prime minister very much. How to fight under the court, it is under the court, and now that it is being discussed in the court, this prime minister must not be without purpose.

Feng Lan sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "Your Highness, an important military report came from the south, General Yue Lun fell for the enemy's plan to lure the enemy, and the 70,000 troops led by him were all wiped out, and General Yue Lun was martyred. His Majesty is seriously ill, General Lin Yi led an army of 300,000 and the Tianning Sect is confronting the rebel party in Nanyingguan, although the front army has His Majesty and the generals in charge, but the grain and grass are slightly insufficient. ”

As soon as Feng Lan's words fell, the court hall was filled with the sound of cold air, and after a while, a thunderous noise broke out. Yu Yuan and the others were also a little surprised, but then calmed down. Yu Yuan slapped his hand heavily on the back of the chair and said loudly: "Quiet!

Before the words fell, the court was quiet, and they were able to enter the court and participate in politics, these people are not ordinary people, although some people's minds are not as good as some old fritters who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, but compared with ordinary people, these people's concentration is naturally beyond the limit.

"The minister believes that the front line is in an emergency, and reinforcements should be sent as soon as possible. I saw a person flash out and said, everyone regarded him as Jia Ao, the squire of the military department, who was upright, but he was Feng Lan's protΓ©gΓ©, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

"The minister thought that this matter still needed to be considered in the long run, and the military situation on the front line was unknown, and only General Lin's words could not convince the public. Then Zheng Yunshan said again.

"General Lin has served the country and the people, and has been on the front line for more than ten years, and his loyalty can be learned. "Another person flashed out, it was Jia Zheng, the imperial historian, who was friendly with Lin Yi on weekdays.

Zheng Yunshan sneered and said: "Your Majesty is sick, Yue Shuai is martyred, and the 350,000 troops of the front army have become Lin Yi's palm." You don't see the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty!" The Great Song Dynasty in Zheng Yunshan's mouth is a neighbor of the Great Yu Empire, the monarch drove the expedition in person, and the 200,000 troops went out to fight the enemy country, but its monarch was seriously injured by the enemy country, and its leading generals killed the monarch on the front line and rebelled. But in the end, it was also annexed by the enemy.

"The national strength of the Great Song Dynasty is still stronger than that of our country, and our former army has 350,000 troops, if we send troops to support again, if Lin Yi makes any changes, we will not be like fish and meat on the board, and let others slaughter them. If our courtiers die, we will die, what about the princes? What about the two mothers?"

"Lord Zheng is dedicated to the country, but you slander my uncle so much, have you considered my feelings Yu Su?" Yu Su, who had been silent, said with a gloomy face.

Zheng Yunshan hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, the minister is just talking about things, and has no other intentions, but this is just a guess, but it will inevitably become a fact. ”

"The minister thought that if there was really a shortage of food and grass on the front line, the daily consumption of 350,000 troops was not a small amount, and General Lin was so urgent, presumably the front line must be about to run out of food. The ancients said: The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. If there is a lack of food and grass, even a million male soldiers may not be able to play a role. One person flashed out and said, it is one of the six Shangshu today, Ji Lin, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, can be regarded as a high-ranking authority, and he is Yu Su's teacher.

"The Ministry of Discipline and Engineering is proficient in water conservancy, but it doesn't know about military affairs, so don't you hear the trickery of the soldiers, and General Lin's plan is to lure the enemy into the shortlist. One said, "It's a soldier. When Zhang Yutai heard this, he was furious and said: "You are such a corpse vegetarian, how can He De be among the soldiers in the army, treacherous, you have seen that general give tricks to his own people, don't you want to lead me to wait for the shortlist!" Then he turned to another person and said: "Xun Shangshu, this person is a person who does not learn and has no skills, this official is clear to you, how about dismissing him?"

The person who was made Xun Shangshu by Zhang Yutai is named Xun Pei, who is the secretary of the ministry, and his power is second only to Feng Lan, and he is in real power. is in charge of the rise and fall of hundreds of officials, and has been friends with Feng Lanshen for a long time on weekdays, so Zhang Yutai and others regard him as the number two person in the Wu Wang Party. At this time, when I heard Zhang Yutai's words, he said: "The chapter and the military department, the chapter law stipulates that the six Shangshu of the dynasty have the right to remove the officials above the seventh grade and below the fifth grade on their own, and remove the officials above the fifth grade, and the officials below the third rank should consult with the Ministry of Officials, and they can only be removed after participating in the impeachment, and this Lang Zhong is a five-grade official, although his talent is limited, but he must also be tested by the Ministry of Officials before he can be dismissed." The Zhangbing Department should wait for the next dynasty and then submit an application to the Ministry of Officials. ”

"You ......" Zhang Yutai was a little annoyed and angry, and was about to have a seizure. I saw Yu Hao get up and say: "This person's way of using soldiers is limited to talking about soldiers on paper, and my opinion is to dismiss it." ”

Xun Pei looked at Yu Yuan and Yu Su, the former nodded in agreement, and the latter didn't know the meaning because he was still young, but seeing that the two brothers nodded in approval, they also nodded. Xun Pei saw that the three princes were all nodding, and said: "Since the three princes are responsible for supervising the country, they are like Emperor Yu coming in person, so it is understandable to dismiss this Langzhong." Then he turned to an official of the ministry and said, "After staying in the next court, lead that Lang Zhong to the household department to withdraw this month's salary, eliminate the official status, and let him go." ”

After this episode, the court began to discuss whether to support Lin Yi again.

"General Lin is loyal to the country, and the last general asked to lead the Jade Lingwei to support and escort grain and grass. Cao Zhan suddenly came out and said.

"The three highnesses, with Your Majesty's personal expedition, there is only one army left around the national capital, if you send the Jade Lingwei to fight at this time, how can the safety of the national capital be guaranteed. Zhang Yutai said.

"There are still 20,000 forbidden troops in the palace, and it is enough to consolidate the national capital. Cao Zhan said.

"The forbidden army is only protecting Qin Dan's strength, if the army attacks, what can be done!"

Yu Yuan suddenly said: "The national capital is of course fundamental, but the front line is the most important thing, if the front line cannot be supported, the national capital will also be in the pocket of the rebels." After thinking about it for a while, he ordered General Cao Zhan to be the commander, commander Yulingwei, escort grain and grass, and go to the south to support Lin Yi, this matter does not need to be discussed. ”

"Your Highness, the national capital is empty...... Zhang Yutai was about to go on, and Yu Yuan said: "When my father went out on the expedition, he left a strange soldier, and if the national capital is in danger, he will come to the rescue." Zhangbing, there is no need to say any more. ”

As soon as Yu Yuan's voice fell, he heard one person say: "Since it has been decided to send troops, and General Cao Zhan is the commander, let me be the vanguard." ”
