Chapter 57: The Lady

Empress Dowager Tian didn't let him suspect for too long, after reading the emergency report, her face changed, and she almost blushed and asked Wang Wenyi to send the recital. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As the highest-ranking person in the Privy Council, Chu Zhen was the first to get the report, he hurriedly glanced at it, his face became pale, and he silently handed the report back to Wang Wenyi.

Nanban really dared to attack Yongzhou City and besieged the city for two days!

It has been many days since the report was issued, and I don't know if Guizhou can send troops to support, and what the situation in Yongzhou City is now.

The strange thing is that how could an experienced veteran like Su Ling not have a response for so long, and it was the turn of Guizhou City's own scouts to notice that something was wrong and went to investigate, only to find out that Yongzhou was besieged.

It is for this reason that the emergency report came from Guizhou instead of Yongzhou.

Chu Zhen was not worried about the safety of the border, after the accumulation of previous generations, the national strength of the Great Wei Dynasty was not the situation of the previous dynasty, although it was a little laborious, but he was not afraid of Jiaozhi at all. He was worried that the Shi Hui would take this opportunity to meddle in border affairs.

His worries were not superfluous, everyone present had read the emergency report, and before the Empress Dowager Tian could speak, Shi Xuan came out and said: "Your Highness, Su Ling, the governor of Yongzhou, has neglected his duties and neglected his duties, and the ministers ask the Privy Council to severely punish him." ”

Jie Du made Shen Xuan stand up and said: "This matter has been posted, there is no news of Yongzhou, it is really difficult to determine what the reason is, it is useless to hold accountable, it is a top priority, please select a brave general, call the forbidden army to the south, and then go to Guizhou Zhizhou to appease the people, so as not to panic the people of Li." ”

Shi Xuan immediately retorted: "The distance between the capital and Yongzhou is thousands of miles, and at this moment, it will take a month or two to send troops to Yongzhou, let alone a month or two, can you let the thousands of Li people in Guiguang fall into the hands of thieves?!" ”

He said to the Empress Dowager Tian: "Guizhou Zhizhou Liu Yi is old, this time he also discovered the military situation first, his people have been stationed in Guizhou for many years, the military situation and geography are known, so it is better to be familiar than to live, please ask His Royal Highness to order Liu Yi to temporarily take the military power of Guiguang, transfer troops to rescue, and engage in cheap engagement!" ”

His words are well known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart, and he clearly snatched the power of military administration for Liu Yi, who was recommended by himself.

"This is a must!" Shen Xuan immediately objected, "Liu Yi has been in the hinterland all the year round, he has never been in a war, although he has military power, how different is he from Zhao Kuo's generation, if he delays the fighter plane, makes a mistake in judgment, and Gui Guang makes a mistake, can he bear this responsibility?!" His words were provocative, "Or does Shi Shenzheng think that he can take this responsibility for him?!" ”

Shi Xuan sneered and responded: "Su Ling can be regarded as an old man in military affairs, and he has not been able to judge the military situation, but Yongzhou has been besieged and the people have been devastated. ”

suddenly gave the Privy Council and Chu Zhen a huge hat of dereliction of duty.

was named in court, Chu Zhen had no choice but to stand up, but he gently and skillfully removed the hat, and he responded: "This time I only got the report from Guizhou, and I don't know the actual ......situation."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Xuan interrupted: "The report is in front of you, in black and white, Yongzhou has been surrounded." ”

Chu Zhen glanced at him and said: "The capital is far away, you can transfer troops from Yunnan, at most half a decade, you can reach Yongzhou by a quick march, Liu Yi has little experience, for the sake of Li Min, please send another person who is good at fighting." ”

Shi Xuan sneered: "Half a decade, hum, the military situation is like fire, don't say half a decade, it will be a big thing in half a day!" ”

"What about Shi Shi's political participation?" Shen Xuan said coldly.

The city was besieged, the army was pressing, and the people were lost, and a handful of the most powerful civil and military officials of the Great Wei Dynasty were in this context, either to get rid of their responsibilities or to compete for military power, in front of the Empress Dowager Tian, they quarreled in the palace.

"That's it!" Empress Dowager Tian stopped their argument with anger.

Normally, she almost indulges in leisurely letting the ministers stir up such different opinions, but once a major event happens, it is really irritating that the civil and military ministers still don't know the importance of it.

Shi Xuan and Chu Zhen were able to sit in this position, naturally not just by fighting for power, in addition to opportunities, most of them came from their own outstanding talents. How could they not know that the most important thing at this moment is to verify the military situation in Yongzhou as soon as possible, select good generals to fight sharply, calm the war, and drive out the barbarians.

It's just a small country, and the national strength is not strong, and it has always been bowing its head to the ear, although this invasion does not understand the reason for the time being, but it is clear that Huanghuang is here to send war merits, and if you don't grab a good position at this time, do you still expect to grab any good credit after the war subsides?

The military situation is urgent, Empress Dowager Tian has experienced many wars like the courtiers standing below, she is worried in her heart, and she no longer botheres to pay attention to any dissenting opinions, civil and military trade-offs, and she can no longer watch the ministers use this to fight for power, and the plan to force Shi Xuan to help him recover Zhou Yan's military power for the sake of military power is naturally also in the soup.

Finally, taking care of the safety of the society, Empress Dowager Tian ordered: "Liu Yi temporarily took over the military administration of Guiguang, sent sharp soldiers to rescue Yongzhou, issued an edict, folded his protection and revenge, and immediately went to Guizhou to take over the military power of Guiguang." ”

Empress Dowager Tian did not take care of Li Di of Shi Xuan, nor did she consider the recommendation of the Privy Council, but directly used the veteran who had been stationed in Guiguang for many years to protect him.

The old mother died before he was protected, and he was worried about his hometown a few days ago, if not, where would he dare to commit it.

Hearing that they were going to use it again to protect them, Shi Xuan and Chu Zhen had nothing to say, and they each died down.

After Empress Dowager Tian gave the order, she felt that the anxiety and panic in her heart had calmed down a little, so she asked her subordinates to discuss a detailed strategy.

Shi Xuan took the fault of the Privy Council's improper appointment, and then folded the reason why he was too far away from Gui Yong, and forcibly stuffed Li Di over, and asked him to lead all the Fujian soldiers to investigate, so that he could get some credit at that time. The Privy Council stuffed a few more people, responsible for the logistics of grain and grass, and expected that the time would be good to share the credit, so you stuffed me and stuffed me, and finally set up a set of war teams.

Dawei began to be like a huge machine, and began to slowly prepare for the wolf smoke again, but the city of Kyoto was still peaceful, singing and dancing, prosperous and lively.

In this context, the day of Yang Miaofang's poetry meeting has finally arrived.

The day before the poetry meeting, Zhou Qin received He Suyu's letterhead again, and the letter revealed to her in a very gossipy tone that this poetry meeting was obviously a flower viewing and fun meeting for women of the same age in the capital, in fact, there will be many talented people to participate, it can be regarded as the son-in-law selection meeting of the Yang Mansion, the protagonist was only Yang Miaofang's sisters, but to everyone's surprise, this banquet actually attracted a noble girl.

In the letter, she asked Zhou Qin to guess who this noble girl was, and laughed at Yang Miaofang for stealing chickens and rice, which attracted that one, I am afraid that in the poetry meeting, the focus will no longer be surnamed Yang.

After reading the letter, Zhou Qinwan smiled, and his mood was relieved these days. She didn't bother to guess who the noble girl in He Suyu's letter was, and she didn't want to deal with the other party's incessant chatter in the future, so she simply wrote a few names back.
