Chapter 242: Heavenly Martial Determination
Tenmu Imperial Palace.
The emperor was discussing state affairs with a group of important ministers of the court.
Prime Minister Li Wei, Zhou Dayong, Secretary of the Ministry of Households, Chen Liang, Secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang He, Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Cheng, Secretary of the Criminal Department, and Shan An, Secretary of the Ministry of Industry. There are also first-class ministers, all of whom are all there.
In order to just discuss the content of a letter.
Letter from Tang Dou.
After more than three years, Zhengde has grown from a bear child to a large bear child - although he is still a bear, he has begun to get on the right track in the work of the emperor.
After experiencing a series of crises such as the false queen and the false emperor, Zhengde has understood an iron-clad truth.
That is, no matter how good the protection of the ancestors is, no matter how loyal and capable the important ministers around him are, if he, the emperor, does not give his strength, he will be doomed.
After Tang Dou left, although Zhengde's personality has not changed, his behavior has really changed dramatically. In the past, Li Wei begged him to study, but now he is chasing Li Wei to study.
Prime Minister Li saw the change in Zhengde in his eyes, was happy in his heart, and called the ancestors to bless him.
Everyone knows who brought about this change, but no one will say for sure.
Very simply, Tang Dou solved a major crisis for the Tianwu Kingdom and became the cloth prince of the Tianwu Kingdom.
He has a great favor to the Tenmu Kingdom.
But he almost wiped out the Sun family, all the backbone of the Sun family was wiped out by him, and even Sun Mosong, who was once the most promising to become the next head of the family, was killed because of him.
What does the Sun family mean to the Heavenly Martial Kingdom?
General of the Pillar Kingdom, a generation of emperors.
Although the Sun family did make a mistake, this mistake was exposed by an outsider, which made Tianwu people quite unbearable.
The Sun family is finished, but Tang Dou's reputation really can't get better.
Of course, no one would be really stupid enough to bite Tang Dou back. First, Zhengde absolutely disagrees, and secondly, the mother of the country will not agree.
Everyone can pretend not to understand the opinions of the former and pretend to ignore them, but the latter will not dare to give any Tianwu person a hundred dares. That is the wife of the founding army, and she is the well-deserved ancestor of this country.
Even the national treasure was sent out by the order of the mother of the country, who dares to have any opinion on Tang Dou?
Therefore, the attitude of the current Tianwu ministers towards Tang Dou is that if they can, they will not mention it, and they will not have this person. When you have to mention it, try to talk about things as much as possible, and don't talk about anything superfluous.
But now, they have to talk about this person, and they have to talk about it in depth.
That flint communication directly burned the Tianwu Dynasty Hall.
"Li Xiang, what do you think?" Zhengde has asked Li Wei's opinion for the seventh time, Li Wei has not expressed his position before, and now Zhengde is obviously the last bit of patience, "Give me a quasi-word!" ”
Although Zhengde is becoming more and more qualified in the profession of emperor, he is still the wayward guy he was back then, and he is still the guy who dares to sneak to the front line single-handedly with a national treasure.
It's really forced this thing to be urgent, he dares to do anything.
Li Wei knew this very well, and he naturally heard the impatience in Zhengde's words, so he bowed slightly: "The minister thinks that Tianwu should send troops in this matter, but how to send troops, how much, and when to send troops, this needs to be considered in the long run!" ”
Doomsday? It didn't burn to their door, who cares?
Who knows if what Tang Dou said is true? What if it's just a trick to give us a head?
That's what most people think.
Zhengde is not stupid, he knows everyone's opinion, and frowns: "Li Xiang, do you also think that the eldest brother's letter is fake?" The Mother of the Nation has been confirmed to be true, and you still don't believe it? ”
Li Wei shook his head: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't think it's fake, but this matter does need to be considered in the long run." Not to mention, the Purple Gold Kingdom is now eyeing us, if we mobilize a large number of people to go to Tianfeng, does Your Majesty think that the Purple Gold Kingdom will stop the army? Moreover, Tang Dou also said in his letter that in terms of military strength alone, that day was enough, and what was needed was a master. But most of the domestic masters have already pressed to the front line against Zijin, and it is impossible to draw it out at this time, and the only one who can be drawn in the end is the God of War who protects the country! But it is impossible for the god of war to move! ”
Chen Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also took a step forward: "Your Majesty, although the mother of the country also believes that what Tang Dou said is true in this matter, it is only true that what Tang Dou said, what if he doesn't know the specific situation?" He also said in the letter that everything is an inference. And these inferences seem to the ministers to be true, really ......"
"Nonsense, huh?" Zhengde snorted coldly, "Chen Qingjia, you want to say this, right?" ”
With the growth of age, as well as the re-establishment and stabilization of authority, the majesty of Zhengde as the emperor is becoming more and more heavy, with a hardcore supporter like Li Wei, he has passed the beginning of the weak period safely, and now Zhengde, under the angry eyes, there are very few people who dare to look directly.
Chen Liang broke out in a cold sweat: "The minister didn't mean this, just ......"
Zhengde slapped on the chair with a bang: "Just what?" It's just that you had a relationship with the Sun family at the beginning, but the Sun family fell, and your daughter also suffered, so you don't like Tang Dou, right? Do you really think that after all these years of obediently listening to you, I don't know the filthy things in your hearts?
Zhengde was furious, the tiger stood up, and looked at a minister with eyes like a torch: "State affairs, state affairs, you take state affairs to me every day, why do you only count your own interests when you really encounter state affairs?" ”
"Chen Liang, you come and tell me, if what Brother I said is all true, what will be the result of our Tianwu not sending troops? You swear to your ancestors, every word you say is all about facts, do you dare? ”
Chen Liang was in a cold sweat, where did he come from, the little Jiujiu in his heart was broken by Zhengde just now.
"Okay, since you can't say it, I'll tell you!" Zhengde's sudden hair made all the ministers except Li Wei stunned.
Only the old god Li Wei is there. Because in the past three years, he has watched Zhengde grow step by step, and among the ministers, the one who knows Zhengde the most must be him Li Wei.
Although the Tianwu ministers did not have any disobedience, they had to say that the impression left by Zhengde on them was really bad, so that even if Zhengde began to change, they would always subconsciously ignore Zhengde.
But they forgot that when Zhengde began to change, began to sit in that position, began to really match that position as all the ministers wanted.
The boy in that position did not receive the respect that the ministers matched with them.
It's not that it's disobedient, it's just a little less respectful.
They always subconsciously take out the mentality of their elders to face Zhengde.
And Zhengde has never said anything, and has never expressed his position, so that except for Li Wei and a few ministers, many people take everything for granted.
And now, for the first time, Zhengde is the face of the ministers, and for the first time, he has shown the power and domineering that he should have as an emperor.
So all the ministers were stunned.
"Since you don't say it, then I'll say it. I believe every word and every word in my letter. I understand the character of the eldest brother, and when he says that he is seven or eight points sure, for others, it is ten percent sure. The Tianfeng Continent was the gate for the gods and demons to invade this world back then, once the Tianfeng Continent was occupied by the evil qi, then even if the evil qi could not cross the Thousand Waves Sea, the gods and demons would return to this world! ”
"What do you think the gods and demons will do when the time comes? Talking about turf with you guys here? Chat with you guys here? Go and dig through the historical documents, and wash your brains that are full of your own interests. Think about what is recorded in historical documents. How did the gods and demons deal with us back then! ”
"My eldest brother told me that if he is not in my clan, his heart will be different. That's why human beings, demon clans, and elves will fight endlessly, and even if we humans ourselves are divided into three kingdoms, we Tianwu are also divided into various families to fight for each other. Then think about it. What will the gods and demons do when they come to this world with us who don't even live in the same world? ”
"Why did my Tianwu Ancestor raise troops back then? Why was Kaibu founded? That's because he doesn't want us, the descendants of the Yan Clan, to become slaves of others forever and live in humiliation forever. Otherwise, with the strength of the ancestors, he could even live to the present in one breath, but the ancestors used their own lives and their lives to lay a world where we children and grandchildren can breathe freely! ”
"Now, I, Yun Houxi, swear in the name of my ancestor that even if I am the only one in the Tianwu Kingdom, I will go to the Tianfeng Continent and stand with my eldest brother to fight against the evil qi and the gods and demons that will appear in the future. Not for anything else, but for our children and grandchildren, who will not point to our bones and scold our inaction and cowardice. In order for me to see the founding ancestors after I die, I can say with honor, I fought for the country, fought for the people, the glory of life, the glory of death! ”
The words made all the ministers silent, and everyone looked at Zhengde, as if they were the first time to know their emperor, who had been teasing since childhood.
In the end, Li Wei took a step forward and knelt down to salute: "Minister Li Wei, swear in the name of the ancestors, and swear to follow Your Majesty, fight for the country, and fight for the people!" ”
At this time, the six Shangshu had completely no different voices, and they all knelt down and swore an oath: "Minister Liu Cheng, Shan An, Wang He, Zhou Dayong ......"
One after another, the important ministers swore an oath, and the Tianwu Dynasty unified its voice.
Zhengde winked at Li Wei, the only one looking up at him.
Half of the lines just now were thought of by Li Wei.
Yes, this was originally a scene in which Zhengde and Li Wei joined forces. With Li Wei's ability, can he not see the seriousness of the situation? The reason why he struggled was because he knew that there were a lot of different voices down there.
If he directly resists public opinion, it is fine, but it will seriously affect Zhengde's reputation.
In Li Wei's plan, he wants to lead the troops to the battle, then all domestic affairs will be handed over to Zhengde, if the ministers continue to treat Zhengde as a joke, then without his Li Wei's suppression, it is not surprising that Zhengde will do anything.
However, what made Li Wei a little depressed was that he still fell for Zhengde.
Just now, Zhengde swore in the name of the ancestor, and directly said that he wanted to drive the expedition in person, and he couldn't stop it, and for the Tianwu people, once he swore in the name of the ancestor and couldn't do it, then even the position of the emperor would not be stable.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhengde called Li Wei to the imperial study, and Li Wei's first sentence was "Your Majesty, you pit me!" ”
Zhengde smiled proudly: "Li Xiang, your plan is good, but it's not good at all, that is, you are not suitable for the expedition, and the person who is really suitable is me!" ”
Li Weigang wanted to say something, but Zhengde became serious, and he waved his hand: "Li Xiang listens to my explanation." This is really the best outcome only for me to go on the expedition! ”
"First of all, the eldest brother said that the ones we send should be elites, masters, not ordinary soldiers, so I am ready to send a thousand gold-level, as well as all the gold-level masters except for the God of War Protector, if there are people who are willing to join, I will also agree to them join!"
"Li Xiang, think about it, is the prime minister's name bigger, or the emperor's name is bigger? Only in this way can all folk masters be mobilized in the shortest possible time and to the greatest extent. The eldest brother said that the master is in the people, and what our royal family has in the hands will always be only a small part! ”
"This is one of them, and the other is that with me, the emperor, as the head of the imperial expedition, do you think there will be no movement at all on the side of the Zijin Kingdom? Although the eldest brother only sent me and the mother of the country a private message, the elven clan informed the Zijin Kingdom and the HRE Kingdom with a state note. It doesn't matter if the two countries can't move or not, they can't send troops. At the moment when the emperor of our Tianwu Kingdom is in charge of the personal expedition, the Zijin Kingdom still dares to continue to fight us? If they dare, they will be crushed to death by public opinion, and I think that even if we don't make a noise at that time, the HRE side will be very willing to help us shout! ”
"Last but not least, this matter is definitely not over with a battle, the eldest brother said that this may even be a protracted war like the Hundred Years' War back then. Such a war requires a stable and large rear to support. Li Xiang, although I think I have grown a lot in the past three years, when it comes to the country, I am still not as good as you. With the current situation, only if you sit in the rear can you stabilize the country and support our front line! ”
Li Wei looked at Zhengde in a daze, as if he knew each other for the first time.
In the end, he was persuaded by Zhengde.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Wei discovered that he, like everyone else, actually underestimated their comic emperor from afar, and his growth had long exceeded everyone's expectations.
The Emperor of the Tianwu Kingdom is out, the evil qi invades the Tianfeng, trying to open the door of the gods and demons, the Thousand Souls and Spirits are in danger, the Emperor of the Tianwu Kingdom Zhengde responds to the rescue of the elves, and the royal drive is in person to support the Tianfeng.
As soon as the news came out, Tianwu shook, and Jiuxiao shook.
All the aspirants rushed to the gathering point mentioned by the emperor, and the conspirators began to act in all directions, and the entire continent was like a machine running at full speed, roaring.
At the same time, the Arsa border, where the defensive line had just been established for three days, welcomed the first enemies.
"Enemy attack!"
Elven horns echoed across the defensive line.
