Chapter 145: Please
In the main hall, because of the news brought by Zhao Nuo, the commander of the Dragon Praetorian Guard, a huge wave was set off in the court. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The courtiers didn't expect that quietly, the Hu people were about to hit the capital. But I didn't hear any news from the military department.
Immediately, Cui Shu, the secretary of the military department, picked up the black yarn and knelt down to ask for guilt.
This is indeed a dereliction of duty on the part of the Ministry of War, and it is a very serious dereliction of duty.
Cui Shu is from the Cui family in Heyang, and the Cui family has been a Wenchen since ancient times, and there is a military general like him, which is really an outlier. This is of course thanks to the promotion of Grandpa Qin.
When he fought with Grandpa Guo, Cui Shu was the vanguard. Not only is he brave in battle, but also resourceful, and he can be called the right-hand man of the grandfather of the country.
When Grandpa Guo retired from the position of secretary of the military department in his early years, he recommended him to succeed him.
The emperor trusted Qin Guogong, and because Cui Shu's military exploits were indeed impressive, he succeeded him as the secretary of the military department, and the courtiers were all convinced.
has been safe and sound for so many years, but it is really bad luck to commit such a big dereliction of duty at this juncture. Of course, the courtiers did not think that he had deliberately failed to report it, thus delaying the military situation.
Of course, the emperor thought the same way, so he didn't want to punish him. What's more, even if he is punished for his crime and removed from his post as secretary of the military department, where can he find a military general who is qualified for this position to succeed him for a while? Qin Guogong is still lying on the couch. If you reluctantly mention a mediocre talent, it is better to let him make meritorious contributions......
In just this moment, the emperor's heart has turned several times.
Seeing that Lord Shangshu saw the opportunity, he was about to crash into the pillar next to him, obviously wanting to apologize for his sins with death.
The emperor hurriedly shouted: "Hurry! Hold him quickly!"
With his shouting, two dragon guards rushed out from the left and right, quickly intercepting Cui Shu.
When the courtiers saw that he was so strong, they had no reason to doubt him.
Cui Shu couldn't hold back his tears, knelt in the center of the hall again, and wept while kowtowing: "Your Majesty, it is the dereliction of duty of the criminal minister, and he has no shame to face His Majesty...... is even more ashamed of the people of the world...... The sinner is willing to ...... Willing to die to apologize...... I hope that Your Majesty will be benevolent and kind, and spare the minister's family!"
The emperor sneered again and again when he heard this, picked up a few folds on the case, and threw them at the top of Cui Shu's head, "You are guilty, but even if you die, you can't redeem your sins! If you want to die, I won't stop you, but at least you have to wait until this war subsides." I'm not so confused that I can't do this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall!"
Cui Shu didn't dare to hide or dodge, those folds gathered the thunderous anger of the emperor, and fell on his head like a stone with unmistakable accuracy, and immediately smashed a few blood holes on his head, and blood flowed down his forehead.
A huge pain came, Cui Shu could barely bear it, and hurriedly supported the ground with his hands. If it weren't for the fact that his body was already kneeling, he would have fallen down at this moment.
Seeing that the emperor was angry, all the courtiers hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and some subordinates of the military department pleaded for Cui Shu.
The emperor vented like this, exhaled a long breath suddenly, and finally barely calmed the anger in his heart, called the courtiers to "calm down", and glanced at Cui Shu, who was still bleeding from his head, and asked someone to send him to the Tai Hospital for treatment.
Cui Shu went down with a thousand thanks.
Overnight, the emperor discussed with the courtiers the strategy of retreating, and finally came up with a rule.
Tongzhou can be regarded as the gateway to the imperial capital, once the same state is lost, it is tantamount to the gateway of the capital is opened, and the enemy army can completely drive straight in, and there is no dangerous stronghold to defend.
However, the same state is not so easy to be breached.
The terrain of Tongzhou is precipitous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and because of the need to protect the safety of the capital, the emperors of all dynasties and generations will send heavy troops to guard here.
Since the beginning of the emperor's accession to the throne, this dynasty sent 100,000 soldiers to garrison Tongzhou, and the general of Tongzhou was once famous and powerful general Lin Qiong, brave and strategic, is a rare tiger general, and also saved the emperor's life in the Yunchu War.
It's just that with Lin Qiong's shrewdness, shouldn't he have not discovered the enemy's situation in advance? Such important military information, if you know it, you will definitely not hide it and not report it?
What went wrong?
It's just that, no matter what goes wrong, it's not too late to make amends.
The Ministry of War recommended Li Yi, the general of Zhenguo, as the commander-in-chief, and the emperor personally appointed him with the post of generalissimo of the expedition to the north, and immediately transferred about 30,000 elite soldiers from the Shenfeng Battalion and the Jianrui Battalion from the Gyeonggi battalion, and transferred the 50,000 troops who had just withdrawn from Yunzhou to Chuzhou to Tongzhou together.
At this time, Yan Yuan led Qin Zheng into the palace.
The chamberlain couldn't stop it, so he had to let people lead him into the main hall.
The two knelt in the center of the main hall and kowtowed to the north to kill the enemy.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to inherit the legacy of their brother King Zhonglie, level the northern border, and return the border to peace!"
"Your Majesty, as a descendant of the Qin family, the minister should follow his grandfather's example and serve the country loyally!"
The two young men, with sonorous words and full of pride, immediately infected the courtiers present. The old general Li Yi couldn't help but cry with joy, his gray beard shook twice, his hands trembled on the shoulders of the two, and he said with emotion: "Okay! Good! Okay! They are all good sons! There are such young heroes in the national dynasty, why can't they calm the rebellion in the north--" As he spoke, he suddenly turned around and knelt down with him, "The old minister is brave and begs the emperor to allow the two sons to participate in the war!"
Things came a little suddenly, and the emperor couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Speaking of which, the identities of these two people are not simple. One is the righteous son of Princess Shen's eyes, and the other is a candidate who is expected to inherit the prince of the Duke of Qin. There are no eyes on the battlefield, if there are three long and two short, how can it be good? Especially the old princess......
"Your Majesty, the Shen family is full of loyalty, and since the minister recognizes the old princess as his mother, he will definitely not fail the Shen family and live up to the emperor's trust and love for the Shen family! The minister must revitalize the lintel of the Shen family to comfort the spirit of the loyal martyr king in the sky!" Yan Yuan finished with tears in his eyes, and bowed deeply.
The emperor's body shook violently...... King Chungyeol...... Jin'er ......
Qin Zheng looked at Yan Yuan's eyes, and also said: "Your Majesty, the minister is the grandson of the head of the Qin family, and now his grandfather is sick in bed, but he is worried about the chaos in the north, although the minister is not talented, he is willing to use his own body, inherit his grandfather's will, and swear to serve his family and country!"
Originally, Qin Sanye was silent, and he also wanted the emperor to directly refute their request, but now that these two children said so sincerely, they couldn't help but be moved.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let the two of you go with you to go through the experience?" With General Li watching, nothing can happen, it's hard for the two of them to have this heart at a young age!"
The rest of the courtiers saw that the old general and Lord Qin were speaking for them, so they also talked about their love.
The emperor finally nodded and agreed to their request.
The two hurriedly thanked him.
Qin Zheng got what he wanted, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Yan Yuan's expression was indifferent, he knew that this would be the result. I only temporarily took the children of the Qin family together, also because I was not so eye-catching.
Hmph, cheap kid!
