Chapter 18: Slapping the Chinese courtiers in the face

Looking at the situation in the DPRK and China, the Marquis of Chu has already won the battle, just waiting for the emperor to nod himself.

At this moment, Chu Nanyue took a step forward and said, "Jing Ninghou's countermeasures, the last general thinks that something is wrong. ”

As soon as the words fell, Jing Ninghou's face no longer looked good, everyone in the court knew that Chu Nanyue had turned his face with the Chu family, and now he was openly opposing him in the court, and he already felt that he had lost face.

Lord Wang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was faintly dissatisfied: "General Chu is a military attachΓ©, but dealing with the refugee problem is a civil official's strength, you openly oppose the Marquis of Jingning, is there any good strategy?" ”

"Suggestions and suggestions, regardless of civilian and military officials." The emperor directly brushed the waiter of the Ministry of Rites away, "Chu Aiqing, what do you think is wrong with Marquis Jingning's countermeasures, you might as well say it." ”

Chu Nanyue knew that Marquis Jing Ning had a reputation in the court for many years, and now if he didn't really refute Marquis Jing Ning, the hundred officials would definitely not be convinced.

So Chu Nanyue replied in a positive voice: "The refugee matter is not so easy to solve, in fact, it is better to be sparse than blocked. If the refugees are driven out of the capital, the capital will indeed be fine, but the refugees will continue to pour into other cities, and all the cities they go to will be the capital of today. ”

"That's a real problem." The emperor nodded, then turned to Marquis Jing Ning and said, "General Chu's opinion, what can Marquis Jing Ning refute?" ”

"Your Majesty, now it's only about the capital, not to mention that the capital is the center of gravity of a country, if you connive at refugees, I'm afraid that you can't even keep the peace of the capital, what else to say. General Chu is a woman's kindness, don't want to be this wicked person. ”

Marquis Jing Ning glanced at Chu Nanyue, and then took the initiative to ask: "General Chu is unwilling, but the old minister is willing." The people of the capital are His Majesty's courtiers. Your Majesty, the old minister asked for his life, and the old minister was responsible for cleaning up the refugees out of Beijing, and first returning peace to the people of the capital. ”

The important ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee also live in the capital, and because their homes have been harassed by the refugees in the past two days, they have long accumulated resentment in their hearts, and they do not have the slightest affection for the refugees who suddenly poured in to make trouble.

Chu Nanyue lightly slapped his palm a few times, and responded: "Your Majesty, Marquis Jingning said it well, the people of the capital are His Majesty's courtiers and need a peace. But the last general also knew that the shore of the land was not the king's minister. Even if they are refugees, they are also His Majesty's courtiers. ”

Chu Nanyue's words reminded the emperor. He was even a little shaken, because the method of the Marquis of Chu was effective and resolute, and the Marquis of Chu personally brought people there, maybe it would not take three or five days for the troubles of the refugees in the capital to end.

But when you think about it, if his practice spreads to the world, what kind of reputation will he leave behind?

So the emperor said majestically: "General Chu is right, I have never thought of giving up my people, if it is really so easy to govern, I will not let all Aiqing brainstorm today." ”

"Having said that, General Chu has always been picking on Jing Ninghou, and he doesn't have any good plans." The ministers in the hall were secretly unconvinced.

Chu Nanyue is a military attachΓ©, although he is of high rank, but now that there is no war, he should consciously keep a low profile and retreat to the back.

But Chu Nanyue was good, and he refuted Chu Houye at once, but in fact, he was also slapping the Chinese courtiers in the face.

In the face of the hostility of the ministers, Chu Nanyue was not frightened, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, the last general has actually come up with a plan. ”

"General Chu, speak quickly!" The emperor listened to Chu Nanyue's refutation for a while, and at this moment, when he heard that she really had a good plan, he had a spirit for a while.

Chu Nanyue cleared her voice for a while, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, speaking of which, the trouble of refugees is because of the continuous war in the past few years, and there is a drought in the south this year. If we want to cure the problem of refugees, we must not look at it left and right, but face the problems caused by the years of war. As the saying goes, the refugees are hungry and cold, so they can only take risks. And it is precisely because of their belief in the capital and your majesty that the people came from afar and gathered in the capital. It can be seen that what the imperial court should do is not to deal with the exodus of the enemy, but to do its best to provide disaster relief. ”

Chu Nanyue's words were impassioned, and he spoke for the people.

And when the officials heard such direct words, they were silent.

It was when there was silence that a burst of clear applause was suddenly heard, and all the ministers looked around, only to find that it was the sixth prince Dongling Shuo standing in front of the queue.

Dongling Shuo took a step forward, his eyes full of appreciation: "General Chu's remarks are exactly the words of loyalty. ”

Chu Nanyue gasped, just now she just said what she thought in her heart, but she forgot that such words were not necessarily something that the Son of Heaven would like to hear.

Donglin Shuo's words were both praise and reminder, she couldn't help but secretly look at the emperor's face, but fortunately, the emperor's face was as usual.

The emperor pondered: "General Chu said that he wanted disaster relief, but as far as I know, there is not much surplus grain in this granary, and I have to transfer grain from other places, but I am afraid that it will be too late in time." Does General Chu have a way to deal with it? ”

Chu Nanyue smiled: "Although there is no grain in the imperial court, there is grain and grass in the military camp. ”

The imperial army defeated the enemy army and captured a large amount of ordnance and grain and grass from the enemy, but the grain and grass were not worth showing off at that time, so they did not mention it.

I don't want to suddenly have a refugee problem these days, and grain and grass can be said to be the best emergency thing.

"It turns out that General Chu was so decisive at the beginning because he had a plan early." The emperor felt that it was feasible, and he couldn't help but soften his face.

Marquis Jing Ning immediately objected: "Your Majesty, even if there is abundant food and grass, it cannot cure the problem of refugees, do you want the imperial court to keep raising those refugees in vain?" ”

"Naturally not!" Chu Nanyue replied simply, "Your Majesty, disaster relief is only the initial idea of the last general, as for the coordination of all parties, the last general also has an idea, but he can't say it clearly." ”

As she spoke, she knelt down: "The last general asks for his life, and the last general will be responsible for disaster relief, which is bound to return peace to the capital and give an explanation to the refugees!" ”

The emperor glanced at the subordinates, even if they had objections, they couldn't come up with a better plan, on the other hand, Chu Nanyue's plan was worth a try.

So the emperor said: "So far, only General Chu and Marquis Jingning have offered strategies, and I am not optimistic about Marquis Jingning's plan." So I decided to hand over this matter to General Chu! ”

When Jing Ninghou heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly.

"Your Majesty, General Chu has fought on the battlefield, but he has never participated in court affairs, but I am afraid that it will ......" A minister brought up by the Marquis of Jingning stepped forward and said.

Before he finished speaking, he saw Donglin Shuo take the initiative to stand up and said, "Father, the sons are willing to assist General Chu from the side to deal with the troubles of the refugees." ”

"Okay, I'll do it." The Emperor nodded.

Chu Nanyue's strategizing on the battlefield is obvious to all. But when it comes to Chu Nanyue's ability to govern, the emperor does have doubts in his heart.

Among the princes, Tanglin Shuo is the most stable, and having him by his side must be like a tiger with wings, so the emperor can rest assured.
