Chapter 723: Gong Shen Fang Shuai
At the court meeting, all the ministers gathered.
At the beginning, there was a rare silence for a moment.
After all, the turmoil that occurred when everyone gathered in the Golden Palace last time was too terrifying, and standing here again, seeing His Majesty and King Ming in the same hall again, I still have more or less lingering palpitations.
After a brief pause, the courtiers secretly observed the situation.
I saw Lao Jiugao sitting on the head, expressionless, and his eyes never fell on King Ming.
Look at King Ming again, standing under His Royal Highness, not communicating with anyone, as if everything has nothing to do with him.
Seeing this situation, the courtiers were a little at ease, and looking at the situation, both the monarch and the minister had temporarily avoided each other and had no intention of clashing again.
With the bottom in mind, the courtiers will no longer delay and serve the main dishes.
The first to emerge, without a doubt, was the North Korean centrists, who have always regarded themselves as clean streams.
"Your Majesty, Fang Youqun is a military commander, but he escaped from the battle during the war, leaving our country in ruins, the soldiers and civilians were displaced, and there were heavy casualties.
"Your Majesty, now the two provinces of northern Jiangsu and southern Jiangsu have been lost because of the cowardice and escape of Fang Youqun, which has greatly damaged our country's prestige, and the people's anger has become a monstrous trend.
"Your Majesty, there are a group of people who have committed great crimes, and they should be beheaded on the spot to boost the morale of the army and the anger of the people."
"Your Majesty, there are a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, misleading the country and the king, this person will not die, and the righteous path will not exist......"
In an instant, the court boiled and bowed.
Mo Bai paid attention to it, not only the neutrals, but also many people in the Hu Party, who also spoke in the same voice, and they should be severely punished.
Now this scene is clearly united, and you have to kill Fang Youqun.
Mo Bai didn't believe it, there were so many people, no one thought about it, and now in this case, there will be consequences for the disposal party.
Glancing at those Hu Party officials, Mo Bai had obviously reached a tacit understanding with Hu Qingyan beforehand, and it was impossible for him not to know that he wanted to protect Fang Youqun.
At this time, Mo Bai wondered if he was being put on a table by Hu Qingyan.
Is this old guy taking the opportunity to kill Fang Youqun?
It was also at this time that Mo Bai felt that his eyes were looking at him, and he glanced slightly, just glancing at Zhang Bangli.
Judging from Zhang Bangli's solemn expression, it is obvious that he also suspects that Hu Qingyan is disobeying the yang and the yin, and deliberately takes the opportunity to engage Fang Youqun.
Mo Bai's eyes flashed slightly, he could let Hu Qingyan's power lean towards the government and the opposition, or he could watch his party fight against differences, but he would not allow him to fight against differences for the sake of the party, and even disregard the interests of the country and the dynasty.
It's just that at this time, with the identity of Mo Bai, it is not easy to open his mouth to protect the party.
His stance on the matter of resisting barbarians has always been a staunch hawk, and with his standpoint, he cannot condone it, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future.
"Your Majesty, the fall of northern Jiangsu is indeed a matter of common sorrow for the whole country, but the minister believes that the top priority now is not to investigate Fang Youqun's guilt, but to prevent the war situation from continuing to erode. Now that the banner has occupied northern and southern Jiangsu, Bingfeng directly threatens the land of the Central Plains, if it is not contained, I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Zhang Bangli stood up, and he had to speak.
It's just that someone immediately stood up and shouted angrily: "Is Lord Zhang interceding for Fang Youqun?" ”
Zhang Bangli didn't panic: "I'm just seeking truth from facts, how can I plead for mercy, dare to ask you, in today's situation, the banner and sword are pointing directly at the Xijiang River, if there is a group of people asking for guilt at this time, wouldn't it be self-cutting and helping the flag to help?" ”
"Ridiculous, it is precisely because the banner barbarian soldiers are flourishing that the national dynasty should take the opportunity to make a decision, and the generals will ask Fang Youqun to ask for the guilt, in order to stifle this kind of atmosphere of fleeing without a fight, has Lord Zhang ever thought that if Fang Youqun is appeased this time, I am afraid that in the future, I am afraid that the generals in the army will follow the same example, and they will all flee before the battle, so I am afraid that not only Xijiang, but also the burial of my entire Daxia country will be in the evening."
An old man stood up, confronted Zhang Bangli, and shouted with anger on his face.
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent, even Zhang Bangli was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to refute it.
When Mo Bai heard this, he couldn't help but look back, only to see that the person who opened his mouth was no stranger.
It was his neighbor Cai Yuande, Mo Bai's heart was surprised, this old man was pretending to be a turtle on weekdays, and he was the master who got by, but today he was not afraid of Zhang Bangli's prestige and spoke out bluntly.
Before Mr. Cai finished speaking, he saw him looking around, and his voice was impassioned: "Everyone, at this time, our dynasty has reached the point of life and death. Ladies and gentlemen, what is this? This is the will of the people, Fang Youqun will not die, what my country has lost is not just a northern Jiangsu, but the people's heart, if the people's heart is lost, even if the flag is not there, my country will probably lose all its anger. ”
In the end, this old man Cai bowed down to Lao Jiu, touched the ground with his head, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers are pleased, and immediately ask the party to be defeated, so as to indignate the people and boost the hearts of the army." ”
"The ministers and others knock on Your Majesty, and immediately ask the beheading party!" All the ministers bowed together.
There was silence in the main hall.
Zhang Bangli glanced at King Ming, and finally fell down helplessly.
Seeing this scene, Mo Bai's heart was inexplicably a little complicated.
I have to say that today's courtiers have impressed Mo Bai.
Although these courtiers are going against him, it is certain that this time, most of them are indeed not selfish, but uphold public intentions, and are for the future of the country.
Such as this Cai Yuande, whether to kill Fang Youqun or not, has no interest in him, he stood up for this and offended Zhang Bangli, if you think about it from selfish interests, it is not worth it.
"Elder Ge, what do you think of the matter of Fang Youqun?" Finally, a voice came from above.
Hu Qingyan came out of the class and saluted respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, whether you ask the guilty party is a group, it is indeed a big matter, what your colleagues say is reasonable, and Chief Zhang's concerns are also true, and the old minister thinks that this matter should be cautious." It is better to listen to the opinions of Lord Qin and His Royal Highness King Ming, one of them is the Minister of Military Aircraft and the other is the Minister of Military Supervision, both of whom are in charge of the military, and their opinions must be more comprehensive. ”
As soon as these words came out, Qin Hong immediately secretly complained to himself.
He can't be a transparent person, but Hu Qingyan pointed him out at this time.
As expected, before Lao Jiu could ask him, he only heard someone among the courtiers behind him say loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister also wants to join Qin Hong, as the minister of military aircraft, but he connived at Fang Youqun's cowardice to flee, this is really a crime of dereliction of duty, and he should be punished with the same crime as Fang Youqun." ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Suddenly, the Hu Party officials were furious, and they were even harder than Fang Youqun just now, and almost instantly, the spearhead in the hall shifted from Fang Youqun to Qin Hong.
Qin Hong's old face turned pale, and he slowly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the old minister was wronged, and there was a group withdrawal of troops, and it was indeed reported to the Military Aircraft Department, but the old minister did not approve it, so he made an opinion, and the old minister did not connive at it." ”
"Qin Hong, what you said is really ridiculous, as the Minister of Military Aircraft, who controls the military of the whole country, how can you use your subordinates to make claims to conceal your guilt?"
"Qin Hong, since you can't control the military aircraft, how dare you occupy a high position, mislead the country and the people, and now lead to the loss of the country, and the five hundred years of Great Xia have suffered great shame and humiliation, what crime should you be guilty of?"
"How dare a person with no virtue or talent discuss state affairs with me in the same palace?"
"I'm ashamed to stand with this generation......"
Mo Bai stood aside, looking at this group of people who were angry, then at Hu Qingyan, who was as immobile as a mountain, and finally at Qin Hong, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face and trembling slightly, his heart was silent.
Today, he can be regarded as truly seeing the cruelty of party struggle.
At this point, he finally understood what Hu Qingyan was doing.
It's just that he has some doubts in his heart, Qin Hong has just taken office, and Mo Bai has never heard of anything dirty about Qin Hong and Hu Qingyan.
There is no overlap between the two positions, Hu Qingyan is in charge of the government, and Qin Hong is in charge of the military aircraft, why does Hu Qingyan want to deal with him.
Even if Qin Hong is taken, it is impossible for the military plane to fall on Hu Qingyan's head, if the military power is returned to him, won't this dynasty be surnamed Hu?
Qin Hong's ending is already doomed.
Under such persecution, Qin Hong had no second way to go.
He trembled and looked up at Lao Jiu, who was sitting at the top.
But Lao Jiu's eyes fell on Hu Qingyan indifferently, Hu Qingyan lowered his head, as if he didn't notice.
After a long time, Lao Jiu's eyes fell on Mo Bai again.
Mo Bai frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that there seemed to be something going on.
In the end, Lao Jiu retracted his gaze, but Qin Hong smiled helplessly, took the initiative to remove the top wear, and bowed down: "The minister is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty!" ”
"That's the case......" Lao Jiu was silent for a moment and slowly spoke.
But at this moment, Mo Bai's voice sounded: "Lord Qin failed to control his subordinates, so he is guilty, if it is inferred from this, this king, the minister of the army, failed to detect in advance that Fang Youqun withdrew his army, isn't it also a dereliction of duty?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was full of hues.
Even Lao Jiu was stunned, no one expected that Mo Bai would actually help Qin Hong at this time.
And it is also a method of taking the initiative to find guilt, is this the reason to take the initiative to send him to His Majesty?
Lao Jiu was stunned, and Qin Hong was even more surprised, the Hu family of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, the neutral party, all looked at each other, and for a while there was a strange silence in the field.
No one knows how to answer.
However, there was still someone who spoke, it was Hu Qingyan, and he only heard his voice calm: "The difference between His Highness's words is known to all his colleagues in the palace, and since His Highness took office, he has been ill and cultivated in the mansion due to his ill health, so naturally this matter cannot be blamed on His Highness." ”
"Thank you, Elder Ge, for exculpation!" Touching the bar, he arched his hand at Hu Qingyan, and then faced the ministers: "Since this king is not guilty, then dare to say a few words." ”
"Lord Wang, please!" Hu Qingyan stretched out his hand to signal.
Mo Bai stepped out of class, and his own courtiers gave up the middle position.
Mo Bai looked around, and finally faced Lao Jiu: "Your Majesty, what your colleagues said just now is a heart to serve the country, and the position of this king and you is the same as whether Fang Youqun is guilty or not." The loss of the land has been a great matter since ancient times, and it has been dealt with strictly and severely, no matter what dynasty or generation. ”
