Chapter Eighty-Eight: Shirk

Empress Dowager Tian's eyes darkened. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Her head was buzzing, and for a moment it seemed as if she was in a vacuum, unable to hear, see, or touch.

I don't know how long it took for her to slowly regain consciousness.

The ministers below exchanged worried glances, waiting for her to speak.

Empress Dowager Tian froze down, and her anger suddenly soared, and she said, "Guizhou has fallen, don't you have anything to say?!" ”

There was a dead silence.

Regardless of whether Liu Yi was innocent in the fall of Yongzhou in the past, although Zhang Qian was the main responsibility for the fall of Guizhou this time, Liu Yi, as his deputy, could not escape the involvement.

Shi Xuan, who recommended him, naturally had to shut up without figuring out the ins and outs of the matter.

Chu Zhen didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Qian went to Guizhou, and Empress Dowager Tian specially consulted him, so it can be said that without his strong support behind him, Zhang Qian may not be able to take up his post so quickly.

The two leaders did not speak, and the others did not dare to make a sound.

When Yongzhou fell and its protection was recovered, Guangnan West Road was a fragrant dumpling, and if everyone grabbed their heads, the south side of the two generals became a hot potato, and no one wanted to take it.

folded his escort to death halfway, and Zhang Qian was never heard from. Guangnan West Road is full of mourning, it is still in the rainy season, and there is midsummer, mosquitoes, and miasma, almost lost contact, and it is completely who goes and who dies.

On the contrary, the morale of Jiaozhi is like a rainbow.

Liangguang has always been the most inferior errand, if there is no good reward, the risk is greater than the benefit, who would want to go!

Even in a stable year, ordinary officials would rather wait a few years than go to Liangguang, let alone the current bad situation.

Like a fire poured oil, Empress Dowager Tian's anger was burned even more vigorously by the silence of the hall.

They all have selfish intentions, and they only know how to pick fat and thin!

Just when she couldn't help it, Jie Du made Shen Xuan stand up and said: "Queen Mother, the minister is willing to go to Guangnan to sweep away the enemy and pacify Jiaozhi." ”

Empress Dowager Tian fell silent.

She was angry when no one wanted to go, but now that someone is willing to go, she hesitates.

Shen Xuan is not suitable.

His ability was only mediocre when he was on the edge of the river, and it was naturally okay to keep it, but if he wanted to turn the tide in such a contrarian situation, the difference was more than a star and a half.

She looked at Chu Zhen.

From the perspective of the Manchu Dynasty, no matter the qualifications, ability, and prestige, no one can compare with Chu Zhen.

If Chu Zhen is willing to go to Guangnan, he alone can calm the panic of nearby states and counties, and the court can temporarily relax his mind.

Chu Zhen lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

He was reluctant to go to Quang Nam.

He has already passed the stage of hard work on the battlefield, and he has worked hard for so many years, not to return to the battlefield to fight for his life!

As long as he sits firmly in the court and ranks according to his seniority, sooner or later he will be able to sit in the position of privy envoy, and he will go to Quang Nam, unless he is blinded by lard.

It's just that the Queen Mother has made it so clear, and he can't turn a blind eye.

How can I not offend the Queen Mother, and make people feel that they can't go to Guangnan because they have no choice?

Chu Zhen waited for a while, and said solemnly: "The minister is willing to go!" ”

To everyone's surprise, the first one to jump out to refute was Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan was in a hurry.

If Chu Zhen is allowed to go to Guangnan, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, it will do more harm than good to him.

Chu Zhen succeeded, and when he returned to the court, his prestige would reach its peak, and no one could stop him from being promoted to the position of privy envoy; Chu Zhen's failure, this possibility is not impossible, after all, he is older, no one can say for sure, not only Guangnan West Road, it is estimated that the East Road will not be able to be saved, maybe Xiangbei will also be threatened by Jiaozhi. He stayed in the capital, how to clean up this mess!

There is another point, although the two are on the same page, without Chu Zhen in court, he is not sure that he can carry the Empress Dowager Tian alone.

"This must not happen!" Shi Xuan hurriedly said, "The Privy Council is already short of manpower, if Chu Pingzhang goes to Guangnan again, who can sit in Jinghua?" He said with a hint of implication, "Before the Jiaozhi accident, no one expected this to fall to such a point. ”

This is not good, that is not good, is it just to let Jiaozhi wreak havoc on China?!

Empress Dowager Tian couldn't help but clench her fists.

There are good things, everyone is rushing to them, and now they are contributing to the country, one or two are like turtles with shrunken heads!

Before she scolded, Shi Xuan said again: "The minister protects one person." ”

Shen Xuan, the envoy of the festival, stabbed and said: "Liu Yi was also recommended to participate in politics before. ”

Shi Xuan ignored him, but said in a deep voice: "If you are familiar with the terroir of the south, proficient in warfare, and able to sit in the Chinese army, in addition to Chu Pingzhang, there is another person. ”

And all the people of the house looked at him.

"The ministers protect the country and protect the country." Shi Xulang said, "The Protector of the Kingdom went to the north to take over before he had served in the Guangnan Army, and the Queen Mother has declared his praise, and he is proficient in military and political affairs, and he is the leading general in the DPRK. ”

In the Protector's Mansion, Zhou Qin held Mrs. Zhao's hand tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Ji is ...... in heaven."

Old Madam Zhao's face was bloodless, her heart was beating fast and slow, she took a deep breath, held her granddaughter's hand, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry, this matter is strange, I don't know if there is a hidden secret, wait for your uncle to return home......"

Zhou Qin's heart was already like a mess.

My brother did not die by the Jinshui River, but now he is missing on the edge of the Li River.

Is this predestined?

She looked at Old Madam Zhao's pale face, and worry surged up even more.

In her previous life, her grandmother knew the news of her brother's death and had a stroke that night, so she couldn't let her repeat the same mistake this time.

You can't let her think about these things anymore, you have to let her have something to do!

In an instant, Zhou Qin made up his mind.

She raised her head and said in a low voice, "Grandmother, when my uncle returns to the Northland, let's go to Tanzhou." ”

Old Madam Zhao was still in a trance, and after hearing her words, it took a while to react.

Zhou Qin continued: "We have nothing to do in Beijing, it is better to go to Tanzhou first, the officers and soldiers can't find out the news, but don't we have many scout elite soldiers under the command of my grandfather and father in the past?" Although those uncles and uncles are not as healthy as ordinary people, they are not in the way, and their abilities are compared to the group of weak soldiers on Guangnan West Road today, one in the sky and one underground. The soldiers in Quang Nam can't find it, but it doesn't mean that our family can't find it. Let's go to Tanzhou first, if the war stops, we will go to Yongzhou, and then Guangzhou, so our family has business in these places, and we don't have to worry about not having a foothold. ”

Old Madam Zhao's eyes lit up.

She beckoned Zhang Bi's family in and instructed: "Give me the points of the southern roads in the house, be quick!" He turned his head and asked Mama Meng, "When will Da Lang go home?" ”

He also commanded the men to pack their luggage for going out.

Old Madam Zhao spoke, and the house immediately moved, and there were things to do up and down, for example, when she knew the news of Zhou Yanzhi, the terrifying condensation was reassuring.
