Zhi Yan Chong saw Yang Yingqi stop his words, although it was a brother with a different surname, his face couldn't help but darken, he didn't speak, but when he saw that look, even Chen Zhenghui couldn't help but be frightened, Yang Yingqi still stood up, looked directly at Zhi Yan Chong and said, "Big brother, do you really want to fight?" ”

Zhi Yanchong didn't answer, as if thinking that it was nonsense, Yang Yingqi continued: "Whether this battle can be won is a question, the eldest brother and the sixth brother think that we can win a big victory, but I am more conservative and think that the time has not come, but I dare not say that my proposition must be right." But big brother, I still hope you can think about it again, after all, after this battle, no matter who loses or wins, it will be tens of millions of heads, even if we can really win, should we think about whether this is worth it, and think about whether there is any other better way. After all, Zhao Song is not Mobei, not Khitan, not Jurchen, Zhao Gou has done well in recent years, and the people in Jiangnan are doing okay, if we provoke this, even if we win, the righteousness will not necessarily be on our side. ”

Xiao Tienu wanted to sneer when he heard the word righteousness, but at a glance he caught a glimpse of Zhi Yanchong's increasingly deep eyes, and swallowed the words back when they came to his mouth. Although there were many people standing in the room, it seemed that only Zhi Yanchong and Yang Yingqi existed at this moment.

"Yingqi," Orihiko said, saying to Yang Yingqi in a tone that he almost never used to Yang Yingqi, "What if I think this battle is imperative?" ”

"I'm not going to back down." Yang Yingqi said: "The government exists to protect the people, not to exchange the lives of the people for the majesty of the government. I am in the prime minister's mansion and the head of a hundred officials, and I cannot back down on this point. ”

Orihiko said: "You are right, but if you don't do some things now, it will only leave greater disasters in the future and bring more harm and suffering to the people." This is called long pain is better than short pain! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "But I still think there will be a better solution!" ”

Orihiko asked, "What is it?" ”

Yang Yingqi closed his mouth, and Zhi Yan rushed: "You think there is a way, but you haven't thought of it yet, right?" Yang Yingqi said: "Yes." ”

Zhi Yanchong smiled, it was not a smile or a sneer, he and Yang Yingqi have been cooperating for more than 20 years, from young to old, from weak to strong, experienced several ups and downs, and even put their lives in the hands of each other at the most dangerous time, the two are familiar with each other, and even beyond their understanding of themselves, there are many words that don't need to be said for so long, often just one color to know what each other is thinking, but today the two still said it, this is not so much a debate as a statement.

"Ying Qi," Zhi Yan said, "I understand what you think in your heart." I know you cherish feathers, and I know you want to be a good person, but there are many things in this world that can't be done by just being a good person. Well, since you don't want to ruin your reputation, then I'll be the bad guy this time. ”

Yang Yingqi couldn't help but be shocked all over his body, although he had expected some results to happen, he still hoped that Zhi Yanchong would change his mind at the last moment, but now he suddenly realized that what he was worried about might happen sooner than expected!

Zhi Yanchong's eyes were no longer at Yang Yingqi's, he faced the ministers and said: "Since we have agreed on the matter of the Southern Expedition, this general direction will not be changed!" In the future, the ministers must not discuss it again! If you want to discuss, discuss how to fight this battle! This is the center of everything that will happen to Dahan next! However, if we want to win this big war, we need close cooperation between the Prime Minister and the Privy Council, but Cheng is unwilling to back down on this matter, and if he does not cooperate, we will not be able to do the next thing! Dahan can't stand still because he is alone, so today I will exercise the right to dismiss the prime minister and remove Yang Yingqi from all positions! ”

Although the ministers all thought that Yang Yingqi might be worse, they didn't expect Zhi Yanchong to attack so quickly and so badly! As soon as he heard the words of the prime minister, there was a stir in the room, and Chen Zhenghui knelt down and asked, "Your Majesty! Please take back your fate! ”

Liu Qi was also about to come out, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Zhi Yanchong with his eyes and said, "Don't open your mouth!" Don't forget that you're a general! Liu Qi raised his left foot half a step, then secretly sighed and retracted.

Zhi Yanchong said to Chen Zhenghui: "I don't allow your request, retreat!" ”

Chen Zhenghui shouted again: "Your Majesty! Please take back your fate! ”

Orihiko Chong shouted again: "Stand down!" ”

Chen Zhenghui shouted for the third time: "Your Majesty! Please take back your fate! ”

Chen Xian, Zhang Hao and the others saw that Zhi Yanchong was about to be angry, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is angry!" Chen Xian said: "The prime minister is not at fault, is it too hasty for Your Majesty to give up because of a discussion?" ”

Zhi Yan said: "At the moment of major events, the monarch must not be disagreed, and the civil and military forces must not be reconciled, and now Yang Yingqi is not willing to assist me, and he is not in harmony with the privy, if he is in phase again, it will only increase the chaos of the court and mislead the country's major affairs!" ”

Zhang Hao said: "But the prime minister is not at fault after all. ”

Zhi Yan said: "Is the position of prime minister done by a person without fault?" The prime minister is a position, not a knighthood, and a knighthood is established because of merit, and a title is dismissed because of a mistake, and a position is established because of a situation, and a position is dismissed because of a situation - don't you, as a deputy prime minister, even understand this? This time Yang Yingqi was dismissed not because he had it, but because he was not suitable! ”

Chen Xian and Zhang Hao were speechless for a while, and Chen Zhenghui said: "Your Majesty......" Zhi Yanchong cut off: "If you have a reason, just tell me, if you ask for love, stop me!" You are the Deputy Prime Minister, I want to remove the Prime Minister, you have no right to refute! If you are unreasonable, I will punish you for transgression!" ”

Chen Zhenghui was suffocated by Zhi Yanchong's words, and couldn't say powerful words for a while, Zhi Yanchong looked at several vice prime ministers, removed from Chen Zhenghui, and fell on Han Fang, Han Fang was secretly happy in his heart, but Zhi Yanchong looked away again, and finally fell on Chen Xian, and said: "Before the new prime minister is established, the prime minister's office is temporarily headed by Vice Prime Minister Chen Xian. Chen Xian! ”

Chen Xian saluted and said, "The minister receives the order." ”

Zhi Yan said: "You are an old minister, a deep official, and from today onwards, you will temporarily take charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion for Yang Yingqi." Before appointing a new prime minister, you need to do two things, the first is to lead the hundred officials to handle the daily government affairs, and the second is to preside over the court and nominate candidates for the new prime minister according to the system. Take the command! ”

After Chen Xian received the order, the whole meeting ended, he led the ministers of the Prime Minister to send Zhi Yanchong, Xiao Tienu and Liu Qi generals out, and when he came back, he saw that Yang Yingqi was no longer there, and there were only a few vice prime ministers left in the house. Then he said: "Everyone, although the old man is incompetent, but the emperor's order has been issued, so he has to eat a vegetarian meal for a few days. Today, His Majesty suddenly resigned from the prime minister, and the government and the opposition are bound to be in an uproar when they hear the news. ”

Although Chen Zhenghui was dissatisfied, after all, he was a person who had been trained for many years, and he could still keep his reason, Zhang Hao saw that Chen Xian's words were reasonable, so he helped: "What Chen Lao said is very true. He said: "Old Chen, now a few of us will take you as the leader, and you can arrange the rest of the matter." ”

Chen Xian stroked his beard and said: "It's better to be still than still, and daily official business is still the same as before." I expect that after this news spreads, there will be a commotion in the capital, let's respond to all changes with the same, wait until everyone calms down, and then start the matter of court pushing, what do you think? ”

Zhang Hao first agreed, Han Fang and Chen Zhenghui also felt that it was okay, and Zhang Hao, who was on duty, stayed in the Prime Minister's Office, and the other vice premiers were dispersed.

When Chen Xian returned home, the news had not yet come out, and he did not say much, since he returned to his room to study, in the evening, officials and representatives of all sizes suddenly came to ask for a meeting, Chen Xian complained of illness, and all of them politely refused. On this day, Chen Chu was out and about, and he had already told the housekeeper that he would not come back tonight, but in the evening, he suddenly returned to the house to see Chen Xian, and asked in surprise: "Daddy, is it really a resignation?" ”

Chen Xian did not leave the book, and said casually: "Even you know, so there is still a fake?" ”

Chen Chu stuck out his tongue and said, "It's amazing!" Just say that, not even the slightest warning! ”

Chen Xian put the book down and sneered: "Why didn't you recruit it!" All the things before, which thing is not for today! ”

Chen Chu said: "I also know that, but I didn't expect it to be so fast!" Marshal Yang has only been gone for a few days! He came up and said, "Dad, I heard that Cheng ...... As soon as the seven generals quit the prime minister, you will be righted, congratulations, congratulations. ”

Chen Xian patted him on the head and said, "Don't mess around with me!" At this moment, whoever acts as the prime minister is unlucky! From today onwards, I won't see anyone except those related to official business, and I won't say anything except those related to official business, and you won't cause trouble for me, stay at home obediently, and don't go anywhere! ”

Regarding Chen Xian's ban on not going out by himself, Chen Chu has heard it at least seven or eight times in the past year, but when has he paid attention to it? He thought for a while and said, "Dad, if you say that the Seventh General is this, is it completely out of power?" ”

Chen Xian said with a sigh: "He has been in charge of the Han Department for more than 20 years, and he is deeply rooted, how can it be so easy to overthrow him!" Now that the two of them are fighting tightly, let's mix less, let's see, let's see. ”

Chen Chu said: "Then Dad, do you think the Seventh General has a chance to make a comeback?" ”

Chen Xian's eyes showed a hint of vigilance: "What are you going to do!" ”

Chen Chu said: "I want to borrow your vision, Dad." There is a saying: 'The wall is down and everyone pushes' - now that the seven generals are gone, those forces and the grass on the wall will definitely rush to defect, no matter what ideas he has in his heart, he will not be happy to look at the faces of these people. But if Daddy thinks he has a chance to make a comeback, then now is the right time to help him! ”

Chen Xian reprimanded: "Don't mess around! You are not allowed to harass him or scold him during this time! If he has something to do with you, you can do it honestly, and if he doesn't look for you, you must not come to the door! It's best for us to do nothing now. You earn your peace money, and I will be my peace face, and I will be happy. ”

Chen Chu was surprised: "Taiping Phase? Daddy, do you think you can be the prime minister of the peace? ”

Chen Xian smiled and said, "As long as you don't cause trouble for me, you shouldn't be wrong." ”

Chen Chu sighed, congratulated again and again, and said: "After the Prime Minister takes office, please take care of the villain's business!" ”

Chen Xian had already picked up the book to read it again, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but slap Chen Chu twice on the back of the head with the book, and scolded with a smile: "Why did I give birth to you lazy!" ”

Chen Chu just looked like a loser, and the shrewdness in his stomach was really not under his father, so he touched the back of his head and sighed: "But Dad, although Your Majesty is forced by the situation now, and he can still follow the rules, but if he is allowed to lead his troops to unify the north and the south, and when he becomes a person in the United States, do you think he will still be as self-controlled as he is today?" ”

Chen Xian groaned and didn't answer, and Chen Chu said again: "If that day really comes, my business may not be easy, and your prime minister may not be peaceful, Dad." ”

Chen Xian sighed and said: "Actually, it's not just him, even if Yang Yingqi is replaced, it may not be a good thing for us." ”

Chen Chu nodded and said, "Yes, both of them are too strong, and it is too tiring to be sandwiched between them." In the past, when the Hu people were in a hurry, we had to rely on them to block us, but now it seems that they are all peaceful...... Alas, one day all of their brothers died. ”

Chen Xian was so frightened that he jumped up and covered his mouth and said, "You're crazy!" Say something like that! ”
