Li Yan accepted the abuse with a smile on his face, and after looking around, he found that the room was full of Cai Party members, and they were all iron fans, and he couldn't help cursing the little eunuch who led the way.

Obviously, there must be other side halls for the members of the Imperial Party to wait for the court, and the little eunuch who didn't open his eyes actually sent him directly into the tiger's mouth, it was really ruthless, if it was intentional, then the conspiracy in this was too big.

If this court meeting is compared to a battle between two armies, then this practice of the little eunuch will undoubtedly lead the main general to the hinterland of the enemy.

Li Yan is naturally not as brave as Zhao Zilong, he can kill three in and three out of a million army, and he does not have Zhuge Liang's sophistry skills, and he will not fall behind in the battle of Confucianism.

However, he will not turn away from this, and his mind is thinking about how to deal with the dilemma in front of him.

Fortunately, the ministers were not chattering like the shrews in the village, and when Li Yan didn't talk back, his interest was not high, and the scolding gradually weakened.

Li Yan smiled and said, "I'm tired." ”

"Phew, shameless."

"Shameless!"

……

……

Only three words triggered a new round of scolding war.

When the hall was quiet again, Li Yan suddenly became serious, squinting his eyes and sweeping over everyone's faces, "Li has heard a sentence and thinks it makes sense, I want to share it with you today, there are only five words, bullying the old and not the young." ”

After that, Li Yan walked away with his sleeves proudly, and when he stood outside the hall, he breathed a sigh of relief and relieved his nervous mood.

I have to admit that sometimes momentum can really crush people, if his heart is not strong enough, he will be planted today.

……

The hall was silent, and all the ministers recalled the words left by Li Yan before leaving, and then looked at Cai Jing, who was panting heavily, and they all panicked.

As the saying goes: It is rare for people to live for seventy years, Cai Jing is more than seventy this year, how many years can he live when he is full?

Although six of the eight sons are bachelors, all of them grew up under the protection of Cai Jing, and they are all overwhelmed and far from their fathers.

And the boss Cai You has always been at odds with Cai Jing, which is well known.

So after Cai Jing's death, who else can they count on?

Cai Jing also saw everyone's thoughts, and marveled that Li Yan could kill people at a young age, the most important thing is to be bold, some people have it in their hearts, but they don't dare to say it, but Li Yan is different, there seems to be nothing he is afraid of.

"Old man, old man, can't die." Cai Jing could only say the last sentence without being salty, trying to stabilize the "military heart", but at this time, this sentence was a little too pale and weak.

……

After a drum sounded, in the Daqing Palace, the Cai Party and the Imperial Party were lined up on both sides, Zhao Ji sat on the dragon chair shining with golden light, glanced at the ministers, and after a while, said:

"Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has been at war with the Khitan all the year round, and the first emperor had defeated the Khitan in Lanzhou, but the first emperor was benevolent and did not want to see the people displaced to avoid the war, and became a miserable exile who was wandering at the end of the world, hungry and precarious.

Only then did he tearfully sign the alliance of the abyss, trying to influence him with benevolence.

After I succeeded to the throne, although there was no major dispute with Liao, there were constant small frictions, which is enough to show that the ambition of the Liao thief is not dead.

Now that Liao is losing and retreating, this is an excellent opportunity, I decided to send troops to Liao, destroy it in one fell swoop, and complete the great cause of the first emperor. ”

Li Yan listened to Zhao Ji's passionate and generous opening remarks that lasted for ten minutes, and his speech skills were really good.

Cai Jing, as the head of the hundred officials, should be the first to speak.

Tremblingly, he got up from his chair, walked to the middle position, bowed and said, "The old minister has a different opinion. ”

To be expected.

Therefore, Zhao Ji was not surprised, and replied lightly: "Zai Zhi, please speak." ”

"The old minister thinks that the three-legged stand should be the intersection of the two weak against the strong enemy, if you help the strong, it will only make the strong stronger, and it will be eaten by it in the future, please think twice."

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, and said: "Zai Zhi's words are not unreasonable, are all the Qing families agreeing with Zai Zhi?" ”

When these words were asked, there was a commotion in the hall, and the ministers whispered like the sound of mosquitoes and flies, but after waiting for a long time, no one stood up to speak.

Li Yan lowered his head and listened for a while, knowing that it was time for him to appear, he took a step across, and said loudly: "The minister has a different opinion. ”

"Li Aiqing, please speak." Zhao Ji said with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prime minister is old after all, and it is normal to be timid. Over the years, our dynasty has been fighting hard and waiting for the day, and the officers and men of the three armies are gearing up, and they have long been impatient. Moreover, our dynasty and the Jin country have no family enmity and national hatred, so what reason is there to send troops to attack Jin? I heard that after reaching a certain age, they will suffer from a disease, which seems to be called Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, His Majesty should send a royal doctor who is good at curing encephalopathy to the Prime Minister to take a look, just in case. ”

This is the "bias" that Li Yan pondered on the road, grasping Cai Jing's weakness of old age and decay, it may be difficult to win a normal debate, then it is not shocking to die, anyway, with Zhao Ji's protection, Cai Jing can't do anything to himself.

Unlike the day of the palace examination, Li Yan had no official position at that time, and he had just entered Kyoto, so he did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Now he is also an important minister in the court, and the weight of what he says is not the same, so he naturally speaks freely and gives full play to his shameless strengths.

Anyway, the reputation stinks to the extreme, and the so-called debt is not worried, do you care about stinky a little more?

Coax......

The court was suddenly in a mess, Zhao Ji was stunned, smacking his lips, not knowing how to answer this sentence, he had the heart to follow Li Yan's meaning, but after looking at Cai Jing, who was pale, he couldn't bear it, if he really killed the prime minister in the court all of a sudden, what would the descendants say about him.

Li Yan can be reckless, but Zhao Ji can't, not to mention that he has to leave his name in history, then he can't leave a stench for 10,000 years.

So I didn't say anything, pretended that the collar was uncomfortable, lowered my head and slowly sorted it out.

Cai Jing pointed at Li Yan and didn't say anything for a long time, because he had been calculating gentlemen all his life, and he never thought that he would confront a splash face to face one day, so it was inevitable that he would be a little powerless.

It seems that there is no reason to talk about people like Li Yan, and reasoning with him is just playing the piano to the cow.

In fact, Cai Jing didn't know that there was a famous saying in later generations, "You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep."

Obviously, Li Yan is the one who pretends to be asleep, and it is impossible for Li Yan not to know what level the combat effectiveness of the army of the Great Song Dynasty is.

The territory of Youzhou is mostly plains, and the cavalry fighting on the plains is an invincible existence, and all the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty together is only 100,000 people, and the war horses are less than 60,000.

The Liao State had 120,000 standing cavalry, but, importantly, each cavalry was equipped with three war horses.

Not to mention how strong the Khitans' individual combat power is, just compare the data of the two sides, how dare Li Yan be arrogant to such a point.
