Jingren Palace, outer study.

Different from the excitement of the morning court meeting, the study room was quite deserted at this time, except for Emperor Guangde, who was accustomed to review the chapter here, only He Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Lu Yanbin, the secretary of the military department, were present.

Lu Yanbin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was standing in the middle of the service, talking about the general policy, as well as many details such as logistics and supplies.

After all, He Tiren is very old, and he is the first assistant minister, so he gave a square stool and placed it at the bottom left of the imperial case.

At this time, He Tiren was hunched over on the square stool, his loose eyelids almost covered his eyes, and the little eunuch stared at him for a long time, and he couldn't tell whether he was awake or dreaming.

It took about two quarters of an hour for Lu Yanbin's tirade to come to an end.

He bowed slightly, and asked the emperor for instructions: "Your Majesty, this is the response strategy adjusted by the Ministry of War according to the emergency report from southern Xinjiang, whether it should be submitted to the cabinet immediately, and the cabinet elders will further refer to it, and ask Your Majesty to make a holy decision." ”

Emperor Guangde pondered for a long time, but turned his gaze to He Tiren: "What does He Ge Lao think?" ”

He Tiren, who was originally like a clay tire and wood sculpture, immediately stood up from the square stool as if he had been triggered, bowed down and said: "The strategy of the military department can be called detailed and appropriate, and there is nothing wrong with it in general, it's just ......."

"Just how?"

"Lao Chen thinks that although it is a wise move to choose the alliance of Qianxiang, Wuke, and Mango as a breakthrough, it is debatable to take advantage of the victory to pursue after the fact."

"Pavilion Elder !"

When Lu Yanbin heard this, he couldn't help but question: "That Qianxiang Country is no different from the other four countries, it has been managed by my Great Zhou for more than 30 years, the roads are smooth, the language is unhindered, and there are quite a few people close to my Great Zhou. ”

"Although the strategy of taking advantage of victory and chasing is not foolproof, as long as you fight steadily, you will definitely be able to compete for all achievements!"

"And once you take the Qianxiang Kingdom, not only can you deter the remaining four countries, but you can also attack from both sides, making the Zhenla Kingdom lose its ground!"

"It seems like this, but I don't know what's wrong?"

Although the first assistant of the cabinet is a high-ranking authority, the secretary of the military department is not the echo of the cabinet.

What's more, this strategy was personally presided over by Lu Yanbin, and according to the consultation summarized by all parties, it was painstakingly formulated, how could He Tiren deny it in a few words?

He Tiren listened to his repeated defenses, and finally asked himself, the old face of the terraced fields was more and more kind, and he smiled and said: "Lu Shangshu is not in a hurry, there is nothing wrong with this strategy in military affairs, it is just ......."

Speaking of this, He Tiren suddenly stopped.

But it turned out to be the great eunuch Qiu Shi'an, who walked in with a piece of music.

I saw him bow down, put the piece on the imperial case, and was about to retreat aside, but suddenly stopped, hesitated again and again, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, this is the joint recital of Yin Jiayu Village, Shuntian Prefecture, and Sun Shaozong, Shaoqing of Dali Temple-it is a war in southern Xinjiang." ”

Emperor Guangde didn't go to see the piece of music originally, after all, there were at least fifty or sixty copies of the pieces piled up on his imperial case.

But as soon as I heard that it was Jia Yucun and Sun Shaozong who jointly played it, and it was the war in southern Xinjiang, I immediately came to the 'interest', took the piece in my hand, and first swept it out of ten lines.

After reading it, the emperor showed a playful smile on his face, gently put the piece back on the table, looked up and asked, "Two Aiqing, do you know what is written in this book?" ”

When Lu Yanbin heard this, he waited for He Tiren to speak, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see the other party come out, but the emperor called his name.

Lu Yanbin was helpless, so he had to frown and speculate: "Although Sun Shaoqing is a civilian official now, he is from a martial arts background after all, and he has just quelled the Huguang rebellion - isn't it Jia Shilang, do you want to promote him to serve in front of the army?" ”

Although Jia Yucun has the title of squire of the military department, Lu Yanbin really hasn't worked with him much.

As for Sun Shaozong......

Although he is now returning from a great victory, his impression of Sun Shaozong still does not get rid of the word 'reckless'.

Hence the following speculations.

Hearing Lu Yanbin's words, Emperor Guangde smiled noncommittally, and then turned his head to look at He Tiren: "What does Elder Ge think?" ”

He Tiren finally reacted again this time, he lowered his hair slightly, and then shook his head and said: "Your Majesty forgives me, the old minister thinks about it, but he really can't guess what these two are playing." ”

Old slippery head!

Lu Yanbin scolded secretly, but this trick also depends on seniority, if he was so perfunctory just now, I am afraid that he will immediately lose his impression in the emperor's heart.

"Haha......"

Emperor Guangde suddenly laughed at this time, took the piece in his hand again, and shook it at He Tiren: "He Ge Lao can't guess what is written on it, but what these two people think and think, I am afraid that they have something in common with Ge Lao." ”

He Tiren looked up at the piece in amazement, and finally showed a look of surprise in his eyes.

Emperor Guangde did not want to directly reveal the mystery, but said with a smile: "Elder Ge might as well say everything he wants to say, and then correspond to this transcript, how about it?" ”

He Tiren retracted his gaze at this time, returned to the state of the ancient well without waves, listened to the emperor's orders, and bowed down and said, "The old minister obeys the order." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Yanbin kindly: "Lord Lu, according to the strategy of the Ministry of War, after conquering the Qianxiang Kingdom and the Zhenla Kingdom, do you want to continue to go deep into southern Xinjiang?" ”

"This ......"

Lu Yanbin hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head decisively and said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate, the other three kingdoms are all in the middle of the mountains, and there are many inconveniences to come and go - and it will take a lot of time to capture Qianxiang and Zhenla, and I am afraid that the miasma in southern Xinjiang will be prosperous at that time, and it is really not suitable to continue to march into the army." ”

Speaking of this, he actually roughly understood what He Tiren meant, so he continued to explain: "In the opinion of the following officials, you can learn from the old things of our dynasty, leave a part of the elite, and station them in the fortresses and national capitals of Qianxiang and Zhenla, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will return to Yungui to rest, so that the loss of military supplies will not shake the national capital." ”

The smile on He Tiren's face was bitter, and he shook his head and said: "Lu Shangshu's words, if he is heard by the household department, I am afraid that he will immediately make a noise-at the moment, the southeast is not flat, and the north is suffering from Fang Xing, even if it is only a few elites, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it for a long time." ”

Lu Yanbin also knows that the imperial court has been running deficits frequently in recent years, but after all, he is the secretary of the military department, and the first thing he needs to consider is not finance, but the imminent war.

Therefore, knowing that He Tiren's words were true, he still retorted: "Then according to the meaning of the elder pavilion, do we still want to send them out of the country safely, and then do nothing wrong with them?" Even if you do this, why don't you still have to station heavy troops on the border? ”

"Lu Shangshu is a little restless."

He Tiren raised his shriveled right hand, shook it lightly next to his ear a few times, and waited until Lu Yanbin lowered his head again, and then said: "The old man means to kill his army, and govern his country - first use thunder according to the strategy of the military department to crush the main force of Qianxiang Kingdom, and be sure to kill more." ”

"But my soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou should not go deep into the barren land of southern Xinjiang, but should take advantage of the panic of the Qianxiang Kingdom to be held accountable by the imperial court, and help Queen Qianxiang to set things right and reactivate the courtiers who are close to my Great Zhou."

Hearing this, Lu Yanbin couldn't help but interject again: "Ge Lao! Don't forget that I have been in the country of Mile Qianxiang for more than 70 years, but he is still hateful and waiting for the opportunity to cause chaos - how can the elder guarantee that the queen of Qianxiang will not be the first to be at both ends at that time? ”

"Hehe......"

He Tiren shook his head and said with a smile: "The reason why the Qianxiang Kingdom turned its back on our dynasty is because it thinks that it has full wings, not out of any hatred - now it only needs to cut off its arms, and then drive it to turn against the Zhenla Kingdom, then he will be weak and strong, so naturally he can only rely on me to snort!" ”

"In this way, our dynasty can calmly free up our hands to eradicate the troubles in the southeast and solve the troubles in the north."

After saying this, Lu Yanbin finally lost his words.

Because he had to admit that He Tiren's words were practical.

"Haha......"

At this time, the emperor laughed again, signaled Qiu Shi'an on the side, and sent the piece to He Tiren, and while he looked through it, he said with a smile: "As expected, He Ge Lao coincides with this piece." ”

And He Tiren pulled out a pair of glasses from the placket, and after reading them word by word, he sighed leisurely: "It's really terrifying." ”

Then he arched his hand and said: "Supporting the succession of the prince of Qianxiang Kingdom, and making its lord and young ministers suspicious, is more feasible than the old minister's so-called rectification of chaos - but among the old ministers, you might as well go further!" ”

"Since the prince is not yet married, he might as well choose the daughter of an official family and make her a queen—if he can have a son and a half daughter, he can change the throne again."

Speaking of this, the old man grinned very unkindly: "There is already a queen of Qianxiang on the left and right, so what's the harm in setting up another one?" At that time, I will choose to match my son, and the cycle will start again and again, and it can be turned into summer. ”
