1598 Imperial Council

Liu Qian thought to himself, these people are really all actors, and Li Xin also said excitedly: "Your Majesty is so benevolent, I think that the heroic spirits of the soldiers can also be laid to rest." ”

Yin Zong was silent, as if he was still remembering these dead soldiers, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "The demon clan of the 100,000 mountains has become more and more arrogant over the years, is it really no one to deceive me Yin Shang?"

Yin Zong's words contained murderous aura, and it seemed that he wanted to make a move against the demon clan in the 100,000 mountains, but no one dared to take this sentence.

Passively resisting the attack of demon beasts, it is basically a basic national policy of Yin Shang, building a towering wall at the border, once the demon beast attacks, relying on the wall to fight with the demon beast, this way has lasted for thousands of years, naturally there is a reason for his existence.

In fact, in history, it is not that no emperor has used his brains against the demon clan in the 100,000 mountains.

It is true that the emperor took the initiative, but the results were not very good.

For example, the former emperor of Yin Zong, at that time, this emperor boasted of being wise and martial, and in the attack of 100,000 mountains, because of the bravery of the guards and soldiers guarding the pass at that time, he brought great damage to the demon clan.

The emperor's heart was a little swollen, and he directly came to the imperial expedition, wanting to take the soldiers of the empire into the 100,000 mountains, and wash away the shame of Yin Shang being pressed and beaten by the demon clan for thousands of years.

No matter how much the minister at that time persuaded him, the interesting thing is that the person who advised the most fiercely at that time was the general who led the army to defeat the demon army.

But the emperor at that time insisted on going his own way, ignored the advice of these people, and led his army to the border pass bordering the 100,000 mountains, and hugged the blue pass, and after arriving at the blue pass, the general was still admonishing, and the annoyed emperor directly sent him to prison, and then the army advanced into the 100,000 mountains.

It is naturally very miserable to take over, this army was smooth at the beginning, swept all the way over, there was no opponent, looking at the corpses of demon beasts along the way, the emperor was more confident, and even wanted to directly raze the 100,000 mountains this time and achieve his own eternal fame.

Because of this self-confidence, he went deep alone, and was unknowingly outflanked by the demon beasts of the 100,000 mountains.

One night, the demon beast suddenly attacked, and the emperor's army suffered heavy losses, and he himself escaped in confusion under the protection of several transcendent saints, but the army was already one out of ten, and the mourning was everywhere.

After returning to Yonglan Pass, the emperor killed the guards of Yonglan Pass for the first time, because he lost, if he won back, he could have bragged about himself in front of this guard, to mock how the other party was so blind at that time.

But he lost, and he was afraid of hearing the general's voice mocking him, so he struck first and killed the general.

After this fiasco, the empire did not recover for many years, and after such a big defeat, the emperor also became depressed, drank and had fun all day long, ignored the government, and finally was abolished.

After the emperor after him ascended the throne, he actively developed, and he always adopted this conservative attitude towards the demon beasts of the 100,000 mountains, and it was not easy for Yin Shang's vitality to recover.

Now many people in the empire are witnesses of the last expedition, and they deeply understand that the demon beasts in the 100,000 mountains and the demon beasts out of the 100,000 mountains are completely two varieties, in the 100,000 mountains, the demon beasts have a unique advantage, and the forest on the side is their natural invisibility clothing, and all kinds of strange plants will give them assistance.

It is really not a wise thing to attack the 100,000 mountains.

Although everyone knew that this matter was wrong, but no one brought it up, no one wanted to be this bird, Yin Zong saw that no one was in line with him, and he looked at Situ Jiaqing, who seemed to be sleeping, and said, "Prime Minister, what do you think?"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially a few bigwigs, it was good that His Majesty didn't ask him about this matter, so that even if something happened, he wouldn't let himself take the blame. ”

Now that he was called, Situ Jiaqing naturally didn't want to continue to pretend to be asleep, he got up from the chair, first arched his hand at Yin Zong, and then said slowly: "It is true that the demon clan is strong, but in recent years, my Yin Shang man is not far behind, but the 100,000 mountains are very dangerous, and the environment inside is too powerful for the demon clan, but if there are experienced generals with brave soldiers, it is not without the strength of a battle, this matter, I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

A strange smile appeared on the corner of Liu Qian's mouth, and almost everyone had an idea in their hearts.

"The old fox. ”

He seemed to have said a lot, and carefully analyzed a wave, but in fact, he did not give his opinion at all, neither expressed his support for the expedition, nor fully expressed his willingness to oppose it, this is also a master who does not stick to the pot, no wonder he was able to sit on the prime minister's seat for thirty years.

However, Yin Zong didn't buy this set, and said directly: "I just want to ask the prime minister, if I want to send a large army into the 100,000 mountains this time, should I or not?"

Yin Zong directly forced Situ Jiaqing into a corner, and he had to give an answer, Liu Qian looked at Situ Jiaqing's emaciated back, and wondered what kind of promise such a lazy strange man would give.

Situ Jiaqing's face remained unchanged, and he replied leisurely: "Your Majesty, the old minister is just a literati, and he really doesn't know much about this kind of marching and fighting, and he can't give His Majesty any advice, if Your Majesty wants to ask, maybe it's better to ask Lord Taiwei." ”

Actually cheekily threw this pot on Li Xin's head, Liu Qian saw Li Xin's cheeky twitch, obviously quite depressed, Liu Qian smiled secretly in his heart, this prime minister is really indisputable, no matter what, since the emperor asked you such a question, it is also a kind of importance for him, if you can say what the emperor thinks in his heart, maybe you can get a lot of benefits, looking at the current situation, it seems that Yin Zong really wants to come on an expedition.

Yin Zong shook his head and scolded with a smile: "You old guy"

He turned his gaze to Li Xin's head and asked, "Captain, what do you think of this?"

Xuanzheng Palace's heavy gaze overwhelmed Li Xin's body, Li Xin frowned slightly, and what he said next was likely to affect the fortunes of the empire in the next few decades.

Li Xin raised his head and said, "Your Majesty has seen the soldiers of my Yin Shang eighty years ago. ”

Yin Zong shook his head slightly and said, "I was still young at the time, so I didn't see it. ”

Li Xindao: "I have seen that at that time, my Yin Shang soldiers were full of food, soldiers fought every day, skilled in warfare, and the court was clear, and the peak of the soldiers at that time was by no means weaker than the present, but so what, a million army was like a hundred thousand mountains, and less than 50,000 people came back, and countless soldiers died in it." ”

Li Xin bowed down and said with a sincere face: "Your Majesty, there is really no need to go into the 100,000 mountains, the 100,000 mountains are not suitable for our human race to live in, and after the battle, we will send a large army to garrison, there is no danger to defend, far less than the Blue Pass, Li Xin also hopes that Your Majesty will think twice." ”

Li Xin's decomposition can be said to be comprehensive, very decent, the Yin Shang of the year, just defeated the demon clan once, the period of Dasheng, and the grain and grass equipment at that time were in the top state, but it is such a Yin Shang army, after entering the 100,000 mountains, it also ended up with a whole army annihilated, if it was not for the army with the two transcendent saints in the past, I am afraid the ending will be even more tragic.

Yin Zong'an heard it quietly, and his face did not show any joy or anger, but said: "In this way, Taiwei thinks that it should not be done to the 100,000 mountains. ”

Li Xin nodded, and said righteously: "Yes, it's really not appropriate to do anything to the 100,000 mountains, the gains outweigh the losses, we just need to guard the Blue Pass." ”

How do you know that Yin Zong actually nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too, we don't have to fight with the demon clan." ”

This made everyone confused, didn't you just mean to enter the 100,000 mountains and fight with the demon clan, why did you suddenly change your tone at this time.

"Sure enough, it's the emperor's thoughts, don't guess. Everyone said secretly in their hearts.

Then the emperor asked the minister some other things, Yin Zhenglin and Liu Qian'an stood quietly in place, slowly, the emperor began to talk to the prince, the first to talk to him was naturally the eldest prince, the eldest prince is the eldest son of His Majesty today, and is also considered to be the most likely person to sit on the throne of the crown prince, but as long as the battle for the heir is not over, there is no conclusion on the coffin.

The royal family of Yin Shang has always maintained a healthy competition, even if it is the son of the current saint, in fact, there are very few who can succeed him, because there is a prince of the sect who is staring at this piece, and the emperor can't give too many privileges at all.

Yin Zong had several sons, but none of them were princes at all, and they were not qualified to compete for the throne, so they were crowned a county king early and drove out.

The eldest prince has a good life, the eldest son of today's saint, after all, he still has a little advantage, and he himself is also very competitive, and he plays well in all aspects, although he is not as good as Yin Guang in terms of personal force, but he is also in the upper reaches, although he is not as good as Yin Litian in dealing with internal affairs and traveling, but he is much better than other princes.

In short, this person is not particularly top-notch in any place, but he does everything well, but he is not the best.

He was able to sit in the position of the eldest prince also by virtue of his own strength.

Yin Zong was talking to his son with an affectionate face, it was obviously a big court meeting, but it seemed to have turned into a family party.
