Chapter 538: The Great War
The ministers were arguing over who should be responsible for Ling Xian's rebellion, and above the dynasty, Emperor Jia'an ordered Huang Yixing to read the recital of Song Zongyin in Luzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Luzhou is close to Taiyuan, and when Ling Xian rebelled, Luzhou was also the first to be affected.
When Huang Yixing's slightly sharp voice sounded in the hall, everyone in the hall did not dare to make a sound.
Du Xuanzhen, the head of the civil officials, clenched the elephant wat in his hand and listened to Huang Yixing say loudly:
“…… The Ling gendarmes divided into three routes, and led 30,000 elite soldiers into Taiyuan with a forged secret to reach Dingzhou and deceive the Dingzhou capital Taishou...... beheaded the officials of the imperial court, proclaimed himself a puppet emperor, and changed the name of the country to Chu ......"
Du Xuanzhen's mind gradually loosened, and he quietly raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jia'an sitting on the dragon chair, his legs were slightly separated, and his right elbow was propped up on the armrest of the dragon chair, his expression was unpredictable.
Today, this chaos is getting bigger and bigger, and Ling Xian is obviously not comparable to Jian Shuyu, Li Yanhui and others in the past.
The emperor's game of chess, as for the emperor's chess, I don't know if this chess player can still control the chess game.
Du Xuanzhen stood with his eyes down, and Huang Yixing's voice was still ringing in his ears:
"Today, I implore the emperor to order troops to suppress the rebellion, ministers, Luzhou is too shou Song Zongyin to play!"
After Huang Yixing finished reading, he retreated behind Emperor Jia'an, and the court was still silent.
Emperor Jia'an smiled:
"Do you have any suggestions for this?"
"The minister thinks that Ling Xian is arrogant and dares to commit the danger of my Tang Dynasty, and his crime should be punished."
Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wang Ning came out of the column with an elephant wat and said loudly.
As soon as his voice fell, Xue Jinrong, the Duke of Dingguo, hesitated, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible." Taizu took the world for only twenty or thirty years, and now it is the time for the Tang Dynasty to recuperate, a few years ago, there was the Xingyuan Mansion Rebellion, and then there was the rebellion of Li Yanhui in Mozhou, and there were Tubo in the past who were eyeing my Tang Dynasty, and then there were Turks, Xue Yantuo, Khitan, etc. staring at my Tang Rivers and Mountains. At present, the rebellion of the faithful prince is only because of the death of his heir, and he is angry and angry, and he makes a big mistake in a moment of confusion. ”
Emperor Jia'an looked at Xue Jinrong, he was the eldest son of Princess Xianrong, and nominally the nephew of Emperor Jia'an, but at this time, under Emperor Jia'an's gaze, Xue Jinrong's body was trembling slightly.
"According to Pinzhi, how should this matter be resolved?"
The emperor did not get angry, but slowly opened his mouth to ask.
Xue Jinrong was stunned, quietly turned his head to look at Rong Tuying, who lowered his eyebrows, and gave up his hand for a while:
"Your Majesty, the minister thought that he could order the Dali Temple Qing Duan, the criminal department Shangshu Xiao Ruzhi and the imperial historian Yu Xian to gather the power of one temple, one department, and one to form three divisions to try this case, as long as the murderer of Ling Shaoxu is found, I believe that the anger of the king of the county can be calmed, and then a war will be quelled, and it will be a good thing for Yu Datang."
As soon as Dingguogong's voice fell, Chen Jingxuan couldn't help but sneer.
Xue Jinrong frowned, turned his head, and smiled without smiling:
"Master Chen, could it be that I said something wrong?"
"Lord Xue, in the past, the Dingguo Mansion was also fought by Xue Shao, the grandfather of the old country, and during the battle of Jiangqiu, the old prince almost hung by a thread to save Taizu in danger."
Chen Jingxuan smiled at Xue Jinrong's 'hehe', "When the old man was brave, he had the shadow and blessing of the younger generations." ”
Xue Jinrong's face suddenly turned red, and he wanted to tear Chen Jingxuan alive, Chen Jingxuan looked at his resentful face and smiled:
"If the old prince of the country had the same opinion as Lord Xue, I am afraid that the person who is buried in the Zhaoling Tomb now is not the old prince Xue Shao, but someone else!"
"Chen Jingxuan, you dare to call the ancestors by their names!" Xue Jinrong's eyes widened and he scolded, Chen Jingxuan smiled, and said to Emperor Jia'an on the dragon chair: "The minister is guilty and offended the sages." ”
Xue Jinrong was angry with his attitude, and retreated back to the team with hatred.
"Your Majesty, Ling Xian is arrogant, and it has not yet been determined who Ling Shaoxu died at, but the minister believes that the Ling family has long been disobedient, and Ling Shaoxu's death is suspected of being a thief." Shang Shu made Dou Wen raise his brows and furrow, and said: "Ling Xian forged the holy decree and took Dingzhou, which proves that he has premeditated and his heart can be punished." Taiyuan Thorn Shi Feng said that he was also at fault for not reporting his knowledge. ”
Yu Shitai Yu Yan also nodded:
"Your Majesty, Ling Xian took Dingzhou and pointed directly at Youzhou, proving that this person's rebellion is a long time ago, and there are strong generals in our dynasty, why can't you take down the rebels in one fell swoop and protect the Tang Dynasty?"
The lord and faction of the central government are naturally not willing to lag behind, although Xue Jinrong was ridiculed by Chen Jingxuan before, but at this time, Dou Chaoqun, the prince of Zhongwu County, is also unwilling to be weaker than others:
"Since the emperor ascended the throne, love the people like a son, although the household registration has increased year by year, but the tax collection is not high, the treasury is not abundant, if the war is together, not to mention whether the grain and grass can keep up, take Youzhou as an example, if the war is together, Youzhou is isolated, and then it is the enemy on the back of the belly, it is difficult to resist. If the barbarians take the opportunity to attack, the gains will outweigh the losses, Your Majesty! ”
Dou Chaoqun is the fourth prince Yanxin Yuezhang, and as soon as he opened his mouth at this time, many people couldn't help but glance at Rong Tuying.
"I think Lord Dou said it very well. If it is a war together, which good general to send should also be carefully considered, it is better to make peace with Ling Xian and eliminate this matter invisibly. It was Shangshu Youcheng Yan Rui who spoke, and before he could speak, Wang Ning laughed:
"Lord Yan's words are inappropriate, is it to make the emperor bow his head and admit his mistakes for the rebellious ministers and thieves?"
"You ......" When Yan Rui heard this, he was immediately furious, pointed at Wang Ning and started arguing.
Du Xuanzhen listened to the noise around him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Emperor Jia'an has not yet expressed his position, but he sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and without much effort, he fished out these jumping clowns one by one and showed their shape.
The Rong family is really too anxious.
After arguing for a long time, there was no conclusion, Emperor Jia'an was so noisy that he had a headache and reprimanded:
"That's it!" As soon as the emperor spoke, the ministers below endured their feelings in their hearts, and said in unison: "The ministers have no form. ”
"How much grain, grass, soldiers and horses are supplied in Xijingli every year?"
Emperor Jia'an tapped his fingers on the armrest of the dragon chair and asked.
The military department Shangshu Luo Li stood up in the column, thought for a while and reported a number: "It can be used by 15,000 elite soldiers, and among the horses, there are 5,000 registered in the register every year." ”
In this way, everyone will probably have a number in their hearts.
A vassal king like the Zhongxin County King who was in charge of the fiefdom had more elite soldiers than the imperial court supplied, and generally in order to avoid the taboo of the imperial court and the suspicion of the emperor, at most he would falsely report one-third of his men.
In the early years, the prince of Zhongxin County had made great contributions, eating 10,000 households, being so rich that he could afford to raise at least 30,000 private soldiers. (To be continued.) )
