Chapter 488: The Battle in the Court
The news that the Golmud tribe had been broken and all of them were slaughtered spread far and wide. Of course, behind this is obviously the impetus of Dali Temple.
And when this news spread throughout the entire northern territory at the speed of the wind and clouds, the entire northern territory or the entire Tang Dynasty rioted.
The various passes were wide open, countless soldiers and horses poured out, and the generals who were either famous or unknown in the court led their troops to run towards the tribes one by one, and the Tang Dynasty, which has always been a passive defense against the barbarians, showed its hideous fangs for the first time, and at the same time announced to the world that the invincible Tang Dynasty back then, the Tang Dynasty that was piled up with the bones of countless dynasties, was still invincible according to its strength!
Datang, the capital, the Jinluan Palace
Today's Jinluan Hall is much more deserted than before, and the reason is very simple, the military generals have disappeared directly, and the court is not cold and green with half of the people.
But the court seemed deserted, and the discussion of the ministers intensified, and even a few gray-haired old men rolled up their sleeves and prepared to stage a full martial arts.
"Enough! What do they look like one by one! Tang Yu shouted to stop everyone, and waved his hand to let the guards on both sides pull away the two masters who were fighting on the ground, and the waiting imperial doctor on the side hurriedly stepped forward to check.
Taking advantage of this gap, Tang Yu rubbed his sore eyebrows, looked at the north, and a happy and helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Since the first battle report from the front came a few days ago, the way of deliberation of the entire court meeting has escalated from the original quarrel to hands-on fighting, so that now the imperial doctor of the court has become a must.
And the source of all this is precisely because of Tang Jin's slaughter of the city.
In today's court, the ministers are divided into two factions. To put it simply, it is the pro-Jin faction and the repulsion faction. The pro-Jin faction, headed by the prime minister of the dynasty and the six Shangshu, concentrated most of the older officials in the court, while the rebuke Jin faction, headed by the imperial history, gathered the young officials and rookies in the court over the years.
The things they discussed were also very simple, that is, the rights and wrongs of Tang Jin's actions in the war against the barbarians, and the most intense discussion was his direct slaughter of the city when he came up.
The pro-Jin faction believed that the First Battle of Golmud was the beginning of the Tang Barbarian War, and it was necessary to play with momentum
played a deterrent, so that the other barbarians couldn't help but tremble just by hearing the name of Datang. Even putting this aside, the barbarians have harassed the border of the Tang Dynasty for many years, and slaughtered the people of the Tang Dynasty? What is it to slaughter a tribe? Ten more slaughters won't be enough to pay it back!
In this regard, the Jin faction believes that our Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and the treatment of these people outside the country should be based on education and benevolence and righteousness. Once the captives have been defeated, why massacre? Inevitably, it will lose the demeanor of my great country, doesn't it seem that my Tang Dynasty is the same as that barbarian?
The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable. No one on either side could convince anyone, and the reprimanding Jin faction was young and vigorous, and there was a lot of disdain for Tang Jin between words, and he scolded him with two sentences. This can make the old ministers led by Han Huiding unbearable, you little cubs are afraid that you haven't experienced the horror of Tang Jin's guy and scolded him? Do you deserve it too?
Thus, the quarrel evolved into a fight. But don't say it, although the old ministers are old, your uncle is your uncle after all, and when you fight, you win more and lose less. Plus a few Laipi, if they can't beat it, they pretend to be sick, get up and reverse the disadvantage and then pounce on it, for a while, those little young people can't help them, and they have even been beaten many times.
"a hammer! Come on, little! Lao Tzu is afraid of you, I don't have the surname Zhao! Zhao Dezhu, who was pressed on the ground by the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse, had to scold a couple of sentences when he was empty, and he didn't care about the scattered hair and the official mansion full of footprints, if it weren't for the imperial doctor around him who looked closely at the silver needle in his hand, he could grab it and insert it directly into the little cub opposite.
"You're not ashamed! I'm ashamed to be with you! You're a scholar in vain! The young man who was beaten by Uncle Zhao and had a swollen eye scolded angrily, although he wanted to scold and unpleasant, but he really couldn't say it as a scholar.
"Hey! Come here, little cub! Come here, see if I can kill you! Lao Zheng, Lao Zheng, let go of me, Lao Tzu is fine! Lao Zhang, you old boy give me the silver needle! Lao Tzu has to let him bleed today! Zhao Dezhu said that he was about to roll up his sleeves.
"Zhao Dezhu! You give me points! Tang Yu stopped at the right time, and then turned his head sharply to look at the young official on the side, "You also give me some points!" It's not something you can be presumptuous in this court! ”
Without waiting for the other party to speak, Tang Yu looked at the young official below and said, "I said that he,
It's also about you! Especially those who are here to slander and wantonly on their hearts! I give you two choices, first, I send you 10,000 people, you give me to the front line to lead the troops, don't give me a big talk here if you haven't experienced the hardships of leading the troops! Second, go to the gate of Dali Temple to scold! Scold as long as you want! I will never stop you, and these old ministers will never stop you! Take your pick! ”
Speaking of this, anyone can hear that the emperor is helping Tang Jin and helping those old ministers. For a while, all the old ministers showed their smugness, a group of little cubs who don't know the height of the sky, who is not good for you to pick Tang Jin, that is, Tang Jin himself is not here, otherwise the emperor will not need to move his mouth, and teach you to be a man in minutes!
Unlike the old ministers' pride, those new officials made their own mistakes. What are they only doing that Tang Jin for? It's not that he has a lot of power, and even faintly threatens the emperor, as long as he works hard to impeach him, the emperor will be happy to remove this thorn in his eye. But why is this happening? How could the emperor help that Tang Jin?
Although they were puzzled in their hearts, they didn't have time to think about it, the two choices that the emperor just gave them were not just talking, either choose one or shut up from now on.
It is impossible to choose, and either of these two options is dead. chose the former, a group of scholars who were powerless, and went to the front line purely to find death; Choose the latter that is happier, scolding the boss at the gate of Dali Temple, you are afraid that you will never see the sun tomorrow. So everyone tacitly chose to shut up.
Finally, the Jinluan Palace, which had been noisy for several days, quieted down, and Tang Yu suddenly felt that his head didn't hurt anymore. looked at the smug old minister and the quail-like new minister below, shook his head helplessly, and after a while, he said, "Retreat!" ”
After everyone dispersed, Tang Yu still sat on the dragon chair for a long time, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his originally tense mouth.
"Wang Daban! Give me a purpose, and I want to reward my heart! This kid is so relieved! He should have been killed! Joyfully! ”
Who knows that back then, Tang Yu was also a member of the attack on the barbarians; Who knows that his best brother, just like Pei Mingzhi's brother to Tang Duo, died at the hands of the barbarians...... Slaughtering the city today, how can it be a cool word?
