Chapter 81: Xunzi

As the battle reports of Guizhou were sent to the capital day by day, the atmosphere in the court was also colder day by day, Qinzhou and Liuzhou fell one after another, and the thieves attacked the city and the pond as easily as dumplings. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems that it was only at this time that the Great Wei began to really look at this border barbarian clan that had been subservient to China for most of the hundreds of years, and as long as there were occasional small storms, they would always be pressed and beaten by China.

Empress Dowager Tian had never suffered such a setback militarily since she became regent.

The Great Wei has the protector Zhou Yan in the north, the general Dingyuan in the south, and the sea in the east.

And to the west, it turned out that Zhang Qian, the general of the guards, was stationed there, and in his opinion, the people were all heads with the word "war merit" on them, and they wished that they were empty from the neck down, and they could be gathered up to ask for credit by sweeping.

Zhang Qian's words are straightforward, people are different from his name, he is insatiable in his military exploits, and after the fight, the officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory in the DPRK and China have used him as a tool to brush up his reputation, and he has to be impeached every day, saying that he is cruel and tyrannical, killing and indestructive, and losing the virtue of the Central Plains' generosity.

Empress Dowager Tian had no choice but to demote him to Fengxiang Mansion.

However, in the past ten years, the Tibetan part of Hehuang in the west has already been disabled by him, and there are no more than two or three men in ten people, and there are no hundreds of years, and they can't recover.

The first time I encountered such a situation of being hung and beaten by Jiaozhi, and the first time I heard that the Chinese city had fallen, Empress Dowager Tian was so anxious that she didn't sleep well for several nights, not to mention her headache, and even the routine was not stopped.

At today's pilgrimage meeting, she had a great pain in her lower abdomen. It's been nearly half a month, and it's still flowing down there.

She was annoyed and annoyed.

At today's court meeting, the news of his violent death is like a bomb.

The courtiers below no longer grabbed the position in the Guizhou army as before, but you said, I talked about the Guiguang military situation one by one, as if everyone was a reincarnation of Sun Wu, and they had already expected this battle, but when it came to dealing with it, they all pulled some high-sounding words, which were all clichΓ©s that could not be saved from the near fire.

There were hundreds of people at the court meeting, and everyone went out one after another, sending some impassioned words, if words could crush people to death, it is estimated that the thieves in Jiaozhi have already been scolded to death by them hundreds of times.

"The minister has a word!" Between the noise and shouting, a person with a wat was lined up from the back.

Empress Dowager Tian frowned and glanced at him.

is an old man who has just been transferred to the capital, and her official character is not high, and she can't even remember his name.

"The emperor is old, he should have been in charge of the government a long time ago, and in the humble opinion of the ministers, this is the fruit of His Royal Highness's long-term failure to remove the curtain, if His Royal Highness abdicates, the emperor will come to power, open up a new sky, and choose a fierce general to go south to crusade, and the return of the sun can be expected, and the world should be decided." He kept a straight face and raised his voice, "At that time, Jiaozhi will naturally withdraw from the army, and Gui Guang Limin will be spared as soon as possible!" ”

There was a dead silence.

The hall, which had been bustling just now, fell silent for a moment.

The ministers ignored the servant, but bowed their heads in unison, pretending that they had not heard anything.

Empress Dowager Tian ignited a flame from her heart and lungs, full of resentment and anger, her stomach did not hurt at this time, her head was not swollen, she was angry to the extreme, but calmed down, and asked kindly: "What do you mean, as long as the emperor is in power, Jiaozhi will naturally retire?" ”

The man was stunned.

He has been away for many years, and he has only just entered the court, and he doesn't know much about the temperament of the Empress Dowager Tian, and he thinks that the other party has listened to his words, and secretly thinks: This Empress Dowager doesn't seem to be as domineering as others say.

He hurriedly said: "The emperor is in charge of the government, and he will choose a new general and bring his soldiers to Yongzhou, so it is natural to have a toe to decide." ”

"The same is to choose another new general, if I choose, I can't, the emperor chooses, and I can force Jiaozhi to retreat?" Empress Dowager Tian's voice rose in an instant.

The official finally sensed that something was wrong, but the words had already been released, and it was too late to make another turnaround, so he had to insist: "This is a warning from God." ”

Behind the curtain, Empress Dowager Tian's eyes were cold.

On the throne, Zhao Xian stared at the courtier excitedly.

Every time there is a big court meeting, as the lord of the world, he will sit here, but he is just a mascot-like existence, like the chair under his seat, like the bluestone under the feet of the courtiers, without the slightest sense of existence.

For the first time now, he felt like he was sitting here.

Haha, you also have today!

He endured the happiness in his heart so that he didn't laugh out loud, relying on his lifelong self-control, he didn't turn his head to look at the so-called "queen mother".

What is the name of this old man who looks sour? When he gets off the court, he must ask carefully.

He looked at the old minister carefully, trying to make a note of his face.

After today, this sour Confucian will definitely be degraded and punished by the Empress Dowager Tian, and maybe he will be thrown to the sinister place in Qiongzhou.

It doesn't matter, even if you die on the way to exile, when I ascend the throne, I will definitely remember you, and if you have descendants who can survive, I will not have a real power position!

The more Zhao Xian thought about it, the happier he became.

There are two if there is one.

Someone finally said the word "pro-government" in the court!

Different from the usual advocacy in the concert, today, in the face of hundreds of officials, someone finally had the courage to say the word pro-government!

He could barely hide the smile on his lips.

It wasn't planned by him, and it shouldn't have been planned by any important minister.

Is this understandable that the officials at the grassroots level are looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to him being in power?

Zhao Xianmeng did a good job, and suddenly heard the Empress Dowager Tian say behind him: "Your Majesty, the geometry of Guangnan West Road, the geometry of the county, the geometry of the residents under its jurisdiction, and the geometry of the state with a population of more than 100,000?" How many officials above the ninth grade? Three people may be listed in the name of the state official? ”

Zhao Xian stiffened.

He opened his mouth, and the answer seemed to be on his lips, but he couldn't say it for a while.

Damn it! Obviously, Master Zhu talked to him about the situation of Guangnan West Road and East Road not long ago, but why can't he remember anything now?!

Zhao Xian felt that time had only passed for a while, and Empress Dowager Tian had already taught a lesson: "The emperor is nearly twenty years old, it is time to pay attention to government affairs, how can you let me rest assured to withdraw the curtain and give way." She seemed to be coaxing and education, "Even if Your Majesty can't remember the situation of the fifteen roads in the world, and Guangnan is in the midst of war, at least you have to take a look at the situation and listen to it, Guangnan West Road has jurisdiction over twenty-five prefectures, three armies, sixty-five counties, and the rest of the things, stay in the court, and go to ask the teacher." ”

In front of hundreds of court officials, she trained her son like this, and she didn't want any royal decency, and her tone couldn't be more natural, and she told the officials standing below - look, this is the little emperor you want to pro-government! You will, I won't!

At the same time, Man'er stood in the hidden place of the alley, and the little beggar stood opposite her, and the other party said with a hippie smile: "Sister, the girl from the Protector's Mansion is now in the house of He Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, you go over now, it is estimated that you will not be able to meet for long." ”
