Chapter 326 The Court

Zhen Wenyi's son's baptism ceremony Zhen Wanyi really didn't go to it, she was blocked by the continuous summer rain, and finally had to send Yingyue to participate in the baptism ceremony. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

This rain from the beginning of June on the second half of the month, the local report of the disaster folds continue to send to the capital, this time is the season to prepare for the harvest, the heavy rain will be full of wheat ears and rice ears smashed into the soil, the affected farmers one by one drooped eyebrows squatting on the ridge, sighing, seeing that the grain to be in hand is just like this, do not know how to spend this winter.

Zhen Mingjie's Yi County was also affected, but fortunately, he didn't go to Pingxiang after listening to Qi Rong's words, and the flood in Pingxiang was extremely serious, and the entire county was almost out of harvest.

The entire northern part of the Great Zhou was affected by the flood, and even the war in the north was also affected, but such heavy rain was not a bad thing for the war, and the two armies could not face each other under the heavy rain, so the two armies faced each other at Tongyang Pass, avoiding casualties.

But King Ning does not go to war and can't make war achievements, the longer the time drags on, the greater the consumption, especially under the influence of the flood in the entire north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the pressure on the emperor is getting bigger and bigger, and his temper is getting more and more irritable, and the court will throw King Ning's excerpt of military pay far away, pointing to the silent court and scolding: "There is nothing to do, how can our army of 110,000 not take a small tribe, Lord Li, you are the secretary of the military department, you come to solve my doubts, what is this King Ning doing there with 110,000 people? For more than two months, nothing has been accomplished, and they still open their mouths to ask for military salaries, what can I do to raise them? What can I do to raise them?"

Li Shangshu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, until the news of the army led by Prince Ning to the military headquarters is getting less and less, the general will not accept the orders of the monarch outside, and the ministers are not very clear about the war ahead. It is said that King Ning's great achievements should be effortless to capture a group of rabble in Mobei, and now that he is so deadlocked, he doesn't understand what strategy King Ning has come up with?"

Li Shangshu's words not only did not extinguish the emperor's anger, but burned his anger even more, "If the foreign monarch is not subject to his orders, I will grant him the right to lead the army as a marshal, and I can also take back the military power in his hands." Hearing these remarks, the eyes of the people of King Jin's faction were full of brilliance, and they were secretly happy.

Qi Rong saw it in his eyes, frowned slightly, glanced at Liu Shangshu, and saw that he stood there as if he hadn't seen him, and the other adults who fell to King Ning also looked embarrassed and hesitated. Taking a step across, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." ”

The emperor looked at Qi Rong with half-squinted eyes, "What's the matter with King Rong?"

"Today, I have a heavy rain in the north of the Great Zhou, many states and counties have been affected, the most important thing at present is to arrange disaster relief and disaster relief matters, fortunately God bless me Dazhou to protect my emperor, the grain in the first half of the year in the south has been collected and stored, Your Majesty does not need to be overly anxious, as long as the states and counties reasonably arrange disaster relief and disaster relief matters, this difficulty can also be safely passed. It is the war in the north, that Mobei gathered people to come not like before just to rob and abuse, this time such a large-scale invasion is only afraid of saving the heart of plundering the city, Tongyang Pass is dangerous, and inside and outside the pass is a plain, that Mobei is at this time when the water and grass are abundant, they gather the materials of the tribes only for this war, will not risk greed, they watch, our army is difficult to have an effective way, but there is King Ning to defend the pass, the Mobei army also does not want to enter the Tongyang Pass one step, we just need to wait patiently, the poor country in the north of the desert is poor, will not be able to confront for a long time, I am afraid of a small Mobei can not be?”

Qi Rong's words first comforted the emperor that it was not difficult to suffer, and then pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of Da Zhou and Mobei, so that Emperor Zong's face really eased a lot when he heard it.

The military department Shangshu received instructions from King Jin and said: "King Rong is brilliant, and Weichen admires." ”

Qi Rong turned around and raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Lord Li is polite, although this king doesn't care about your admiration, he also admits what you said." ”

Captain Li was angry, shook his face and pulled out a very unnatural smile, "Prince Rong is a scholar, and he has no power to restrain the chicken, but he can talk about the military situation and war, but it reminds the minister of the word, and talking about the army on paper is shallow." The prince doesn't need to read a few military books and debate a few wars. ”

Qi Rong flicked his sleeves, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Dare to ask how many times Master Li has led soldiers to fight, how many battles, and what kind of feats he has made?"

Although the military department Shangshu said that he had a soldier word, he was also a real civil official, so as soon as Qi Rong's words came out, there was a mocking laughter from the generals on the left, and General Yuan said lazily: " Lord Rong, this general can solve your doubts about this question, Lord Li is a jinshi in the Xuanwu period, he has followed this general, and he has done a clerk under the general's account, and then the general won a big victory, Lord Li relied on a pen and was released for 16 years from the county order to the history of the assassination, four years ago he returned to Beijing to serve in the military department, and two years ago he was still a scholar. Master Li doesn't know if General Ben remembers it clearly?"

Li Shangshu's white face was red and blue, green and white like a chameleon, Qi Rong didn't wait for Li Shangshu to open his mouth and said: "Also, Li Shangshu, this king and gentleman are involved in the six arts, although they are scribes, they are not powerless in the mouths of adults, adults have wronged this king so much, this king must seek justice with adults." After speaking, he turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, you have also seen that Lord Li despises his brother so much, and his brother has to prove it for His Majesty if he doesn't do it for himself. ”

At this time, another general applauded loudly, "This martial arts training field has always only seen our generals sweating on their arms, but I didn't expect that Wang Ye Rong could also be tough, Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to allow Wang Rong to play, take a look at the demeanor of my Great Zhou scribe." ”

The generals all bowed together, "Please allow Your Majesty to play." ”

King Jin looked around hatefully and watched that the good situation that should have been a crusade against King Ning was messed up by King Rong and General Yuan, and he couldn't help but change his face angrily, and said to the emperor: "Father, Lord Li is just straightforward and fast-talking, and I hope that my father will be clear." ”

The emperor glanced at Lord Li, who didn't care about wiping the sweat on his head, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has no intention of despising the prince, please check it out to Your Majesty." ”

Qi Rong said slowly: "Lord Li is straightforward and has no intention of despising this king, but he despises Tianwei and despises the world's scholars.

Li Shangshu glared at Qi Rong angrily, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said, "Lord Rong, why did you catch Weichen's slip of the tongue and force him again and again? Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will investigate King Ning and want to protect King Ning?"

Qi Rong glanced at it, "It seems that Master Li not only looks down on the world's scholars and slanders them to the fullest, but also speaks vainly to the generals who are fighting to kill the enemy in order to resist foreign humiliation, which is really chilling." ”

General Yuan came out and said: "Your Majesty, Li Shangshu is an important position in the six ministries, and the relationship with our generals is dependent on each other, but he speaks ill of us and is full of distrust, Your Majesty, Li Shangshu's move is really and harbors evil intentions. ”

Another general came out of the ranks, "Your Majesty, Li Shangshu has long been unaccustomed to our military generals' background, and the military salary is in arrears for a long time. ”

There are several military generals who fold Li Shangshu greedy for ink, and the sound is like thunder, where is the Jin Wang faction still have the early spirit.

Qi Rong retreated back to the line, his face was light, so that King Ning was secretly frightened, and General Yuan sighed even more when he saw it, fortunately, this person was not taken by King Jin, otherwise today's situation would be reversed, no wonder King Ning explained everything in Beijing before leaving Beijing, and he had to listen to King Rong's order. No wonder ten days ago, he asked people to raise evidence of Li Shangshu's greed for ink, it turned out to be for today. At that time, it had only been raining for six or seven days, who could have predicted that there would be a flood?
