Chapter 156: East Warm Pavilion
When King Zhongshun heard Changshi's words, he was shocked. This long history had never dared to talk to him like this before, but now he dared to contradict him, and his tone was completely devoid of his previous fear, it was a businesslike tone.
King Zhongshun suddenly understood that after the holy decree was issued just now, he was no longer the same King Zhongshun as before, just an ordinary prince who could only eat, drink and have fun every day.
And this long history may have other thoughts, and I don't want to follow my down-and-out prince. Draw a line with yourself now, and then go through the door and transfer to another place in the future, at least it is better than following yourself to have a future.
When King Zhongshun thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of desolation, and now he finally knew that human feelings were warm and the world was hot and cold. In the future, the ministers of the court will probably treat him the same as the plague god.
After thinking about this, King Zhongshun looked at the direction of the palace and showed hatred, thinking in his heart, father, don't be too proud, without my son to contain the crown prince for you, I will see how you end up then.
King Zhongshun has now figured out the cause and effect, and the reason is only the emperor, who feels that he is old and has no years to be in power, and now there is no need to restrict the crown prince, and now let the prince have more power. On the day the emperor dies, the crown prince will not be held hostage by the ministers.
King Zhongshun came here, with a sneer on his face, thinking about the emperor in his heart, I am afraid that he still does not understand the mind of the prince, and the current prince can't wait, I'm afraid he can't wait for the emperor to die.
Besides, Dai Quan and the six ministers, after leaving the Zhongshun Palace, hurried to the inner palace.
Along the way, the six ministers did not dare to sit in a sedan chair, and they all rode to the palace. Under the leadership of Dai Quan, they soon entered the palace and came to the East Warm Pavilion of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Outside the Dongnuan Pavilion Palace, Dai Quan stopped and said to the six ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, wait here for a while, and I will go in and say goodbye to the emperor." What does it mean to look at the old man? ”
When the six adults arrived here, naturally everything was arranged by him, how dare they say they disagree? Besides, in the palace, where do they dare to trespass.
After Dai Quan entered the Winter Warm Pavilion, he saw that the emperor was frowning and studying carefully in front of the map, and his fingers kept pointing on the map. There was silence in the main hall, and the eunuchs and palace maids stood like wood, not daring to make a sound.
Dai Quan stepped heavily so that the emperor could hear his footsteps, and then walked behind the emperor, and then said softly: "Long live the lord, the three cabinet scholars and several adults from the military department are already waiting outside the palace. Did you call them in? ”
The emperor was also relieved at this time, and he also understood the three scholars and the three helmsmen of the military department. It's impossible to collude with King Zhongshun, it's just that he can't help but have a meal of wine. It's just that today's time is too special, and I didn't expect that there would be an eight-hundred-mile urgent military intelligence paperwork.
Now listening to Dai Quan's question, he said "um" in his mouth, and continued to focus on the map.
When Dai Quan heard the emperor's answer, he immediately withdrew from the Dongnuan Pavilion and came to the outside of the palace, and said to several adults: "The emperor let a few adults in." ”
Pan Yong asked Dai Quan gently, "What does the emperor mean?" ”
Dai Quan often dealt with them, and knew that their power was not weak, so he also betrayed their personal favor and said: "The emperor's anger has disappeared, be careful after entering." It's not a big deal. ”
Only then did these six adults rest assured, and then they entered the Dongnuan Pavilion with Dai Quan.
The six people had entered the Winter Warm Pavilion, and immediately knelt on the ground to apologize to the emperor, saying that it was because of personal contacts and missed the important events of the court. Sin deserves death.
When the emperor heard them kneeling on the ground to apologize, he still decided to beat them a few words, turned to look at them, and was silent for a long time before saying: "Recently, the military situation has been continuous, and you dare to leave all of them, if it weren't for the rule of the imperial court to report to me at a higher level, would you be able to afford to miss a big event?" ”
The six ministers listened to the emperor's questioning, and knelt on the ground again and kept kowtowing, and the emperor saw that they were all young, and knelt there trembling, and his heart felt pity.
Originally, I didn't plan to pursue it anymore, so I took the opportunity to say, "Okay, this matter will end here, I hope you will take this as a warning, and everyone will be fined for three months as punishment." ”
After the emperor finished speaking, he saw that they were still kneeling there, and added: "Get up, what are you doing on your knees?" ”
Only then did the six ministers put their hearts down and stood up trembling one by one. It seems that this matter is in the past, as for the punishment of March, when it comes to their level, who still lives by pointing to those people.
When the emperor saw them get up, he said to Dai Quan on the side, "Show them the recital." ”
Dai Quan carefully took out the notebook from the imperial case, and first handed it to Li Lu, one of the three scholars.
Li Lu took the fold and watched it carefully, frowning while watching, and was extremely embarrassed by this situation, now there are Tatars harassing all over the border passes, if you transfer troops from other places, first, the water will not quench your thirst, and second, if you transfer too much, I am afraid that the local area will be unstable.
After reading it, Li Lu handed it over to Yan Mu next to him. Yan Mu also read it, and then passed it on.
When the emperor saw that they had finished reading them one by one, he said, "After reading them all, let's talk about it, what should I do?" ”
Yan Mu first stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now that the border passes are tight, you can't transfer troops anymore, and if you want reinforcements, you can only transfer troops from the mainland." But the quality of the soldiers in the interior, I am afraid that it will add to the Tatars' achievements. ”
Li Lu disagreed with his words, and immediately retorted: "What Yan Xiang said is a bit bad, although the soldiers in the mainland cannot be compared with the elite of the Nine Sides, it is better to go than not to go." If you can mobilize troops to support, even if you can't defeat the Tatars, you can contain them and reduce the pressure on Xuanfu Town. ”
When the emperor heard Li Lu say this, he couldn't help but nod frequently. He thinks that it is more feasible for Li Lu to find these methods, but after all, far water does not quench the thirst of the near. Transferring troops from all over the country to reinforce it, I am afraid that Xuanfu Town has become flat land.
Pan Yong saw that the first two scholars had already spoken, and he should also say a few words, so he stepped forward and replied to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you can't win for the time being. They can also send people to negotiate peace with them, and as long as the conditions are right, they can completely surrender without a fight. ”
When the emperor heard him say this, he unconsciously clenched his fists, and was about to get angry, when he suddenly looked up and saw the plaque written by the first emperor for him, "No haste, be patient". Only then did I endure this breath, I don't know if it's okay for his words?
As soon as Pan Yong finished speaking, he heard someone shouting: "This is a misleading word, and the emperor must not listen to it." ”
When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Lei Ying, the squire of the military department, although this person was a civilian official, but his sex was like fire, and he offended many people in the officialdom. It's just that today's emperor thinks that he is so talented, but he is straightforward and fast-talking, and he has a lot of protection, so that he has been a soldier for so many years.
As soon as Pan Yong heard Lei Ying's rebuttal to him, his face sank, and he said to him displeased: "Since you don't agree with my opinion, there is no way to take the Tatars now." Can you solve this problem? ”
Lei Ying also did not show weakness and said: "Who said that there is no elite support. After saying this, he said to the emperor: "The emperor now has an elite soldier who can fight against the Tatars." ”
The Emperor asked in amazement, "What kind of person has such great ability?" ”
Lei Ying replied: "Emperor Qi, it is Jia Ke, the garrison of Kaiping Town, this person is brave and good at fighting. At this time last year, the Tatar Arslen Khan also besieged Kaiping Town with his soldiers and horses, but not only did not keep up, but lost his troops. Now he can only lead 10,000 horses to camp in Kaiping Town, but he is ordered to lead troops to reinforcements immediately. Although he could not win at that time, he could also distract the energy of the Tatars, so that he could not attack Xuanfu Town with all his strength. ”
When the emperor heard his words, he felt that it made a lot of sense, but he asked with some concern: "I heard that Jia Ke is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old doll. Can you really take on this responsibility? ”
Lei Ying received Jia Ke's report last year, and she understood Jia Ke's affairs clearly. knows that although he is not very old, he has the courage to be unstoppable, and he is proficient in the art of war. That's why I recommend him today. Now when he heard the emperor ask, he immediately defended him: "The emperor doesn't know something, although this Jia Ke is not very connected, but he is very brave. Last year, he rushed into the Tatar camp several times and chased and killed Arslen Khan, if it weren't for the fact that he was alone, I am afraid that Arslen Khan would have died last year. ”
The emperor was also interested when he heard him say this, and turned his head and asked the secretary of the military department: "Is that so?" ”
The military department Shangshu Huotu replied: "Your Majesty, it is true, this Jia Ke is indeed brave. In the last year, many Tatar generals folded under his halberds. ”
The emperor nodded, and said with emotion: "When Jia Daishan was here, he was very brave, and one of his sons did the wrong thing without arguing. I thought that the Jia family would decline like this, but I didn't expect that there would be such a descendant, if he knew, he would be able to look down under Jiuquan. ”
After the emperor finished sighing, he asked below, "What else do you have to add?" Say it all. ”
Li Lu immediately stood up and added: "Although Jia Ke is brave, after all, there are few people and the strength is weak, and the soldiers in the mainland don't know when they will be able to arrive, so it is better to give him an order, so that he can gather the defeated troops everywhere, so that when he arrives in Xuanfu Town, the number of troops will also increase somewhat." ”
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face, this method is indeed feasible, Jia Ke doesn't have to defeat the Tatars, as long as it drags on until winter like last year, the Tatars will naturally retreat.
At this time, Shangshu Huotu of the Ministry of War stood up and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you can't pin all your hopes on Jia Ke, but also guard against the Tatars once they break through Xuanfu Town, which will be a great threat to the capital and Shanxi at that time." Therefore, these two places must be fortified. Especially in the capital, in case the Tatars drove a large army to the capital. If you don't take precautions at that time, I'm afraid it won't be good. He didn't say anything about it, but the ministers present were all clear about it. I'm afraid that these old soldiers in the capital can't guard against the Tatars who are as fierce and vicious as the gods.
After hearing his words, the emperor was also a little moved, after all, they were thinking about the most ideal state just now, what if things were like the bad side, what would be good in the end?
